Curse or said how it is ..... Nigeria is behind and getting worse in a lot of areas. Let call it for what it really is

I guess we should be thankful that others are more liberal and still give second chances by accepting shitty things with a bid to bring out the best in all .

I am disappointed in this post of yours.

iwriterng:


Quite sad that you missed the point in my post.

It’s good that you’re positive though. But the truth is, the system is terrible. Imagine having a system as amazing as this in Nigeria.

Please, how much did you pay as tuition fees while in Nigeria.
You guys are not ready to pay, you are not ready to sacrifice nothing yet you want good things.
These same institutions you paid less than 500 dollars as tuition was able to nurture you to be where you are today.

Not bothered if you are disappointed ......... . Lets be disappointed / bothered in how Nigeria is going backward instead of forward

Its not by how much someone pays as school fees but fixing up to the country that is important . Many European countries do free Uni education for their citizens , some even extend it to international student because their whole system function properly .

Seems nobody is going for visas

There is a season for everything

OK.

Please I want to write any of the English proficiency test, which is more reliable and better

The tuition fee for Masters in France is 243 euros.
Tuition is Free in Germany in public universities
Denmark, has tuition free

Sorry, it's not about the tuition.

You all should just shut up jare.

You’re blind to the truth. The institution did NOT nurture me. I self studied, I passed exams. My lecturers got paid for doing nothing but print Wikipedia as lecture materials.

You’re missing the point, and you think it’s me rebelling against the system or the country.

Just learn to read.

And you asking how much I paid, education is expensive, we all know that. But you can’t chsrge premium when classrooms barely have chairs.

I’m just sick of reading comments about “the system nurtured you” etc.

Our school is trash, the founding fathers failed us, and we keep building on that failure. It’s that simple.

Stop making it look like I’m a bastard saying bad stuff about Nigeria.

28 and above

OK. I am looking at spring 2020. School require 27k in my sponsors acct statement. Pls how much do you advise i have in my acct

Please guys is it too early to go for visa interview by the end of September for Spring 2020 admission?

October would be OK. That's my thinking

120 days before your start date on i20 so you can count backwards to give you a time frame

I don't think it's too early. Going for your interview 3 months before resumption is ideal in case of a delay in visa issuance like Administrative Processing

Ok thank you.

God bless you! Nigeria still give us something! Even in the midst of tough hardship, corruption, lies, etc, doesn't this country make us strong? Doesn't it give us vision? Doesn't everything that is bad about us still give us inspiration that made every F1 student on this thread aspire for education in the US? The thing is that, people don't study history. Even the saints and angels on this thread are not better. I wonder what kind of education they are even getting in the US! There was a time in history of the United States that its youths travel to Japan to learn.

Well, despite that Nigeria isn't great as she should, many of us have discovered our dreams in this dark country. Oh yeah! So, God bless you again. Don't mind those people who now see Nigeria--a part of their very own identity--as a dark hell! They can say all sort of awful stuffs about Nigeria, but so long they are citizens of this country and chose not to come home to see what they (who have received better education that Nigeria denied them) can do to heal a portion of our ills as a nation (which, in fact, is even one of the duties of young citizens with capable resources), they are hypocrite! They should be ashamed!

God bless you Agreatman!

AgreatMan:



Na so, once we all cross to the other side, we begin to curse where we came from.

That "shitty" BSc you and I got from the Shit-hole was enough to get you an Msc admit and perhaps, an assistantship.

That "shitty" BSc placed you and I on the same level with fellow American graduates, Chinese, Indians etc. The same BSc made a lot of Nigerians among the top in their graduating class. Everything is a ladder to another greater thing. Without d transcript from that our "shitty schools;" we will never get admitted to something better.

that Bsc was not so shitty afterall.

Yes, the founding fathers failed us. May I ask, what are you preparing to do to make a difference? See, it is not about the past anymore; it is about what we--young men and women of this generation (who know better)--are willing to do. Everyone knows Nigerian failed its youths. Fine! But to whom much is given, much is required. I challenge you to hear your own call. Those who hold the perspective that the country own them everything but gave them nothing will not do anything to improve things. It is why almost every student I have met from this thread have said they will not return after studies. We are all running. I once challenged my Dad what role he played to make things better than when he was born in it. He couldn't give me a convincing answer.

I pray from the dept of my heart that may our children-even the ones we plan to give birth to outside the shore of Nigeria--grow up to be bold enough to ask us, "Daddy / Mummy, you left Nigeria many years ago because the country was not working for you. But what did you do to make things better after America equipped you with opportunities that Nigeria did not give you?" Amen!

You paid and self-educate yourself, yes. But you are a product of this nation, for our environment shapes our growth and influence our identity. Look at things from another angle, and carve out plan of what you will do for Africa and Nigeria after your education in the US. This is your task as a young African. The bad things in Nigeria we complain about is a call for us to do something about. Hear your call! God bless!

I agree with you, it goes beyond ranting about the failures of our founding fathers, if our generation fails to do something, then the same woes await us. And our kids would probably end up cursing us like we curse those ahead of us right now.

You made a valid point.

iwriterng only stated the obvious truth which everyone knows that our leaders have failed us. Why are you people now criticizing him for saying what even Buhari knows its true. I schooled in University of Nigeria (UNN) and I have professors that never even came to class to teach for one day, we (students) only saw them during exams. Yet I struggled, studied their handouts and still came out with a good result. That does not mean the system is working WELL.

The former VC of UNN, Prof Bartho Okolo spent most of his time in India during his tenure. Till now, nobody knows why he chose the South Asian country as a "vacation" spot but students and staff hated him badly. We even revolted against him and held a violence protest during his absence. Whether you like it or not, our leaders have failed us.

I still had few lecturers who can never give student an A in their course no matter how intelligent or brilliant the person is. Most of our lecturers derive joy when students fail their courses..this means they are "tough". The worst part is that the teachers themselves won't even teach. Or should I talk about how some of our computer graduates don't know how to operate Microsoft word or to format a system.

Abi na lecturers wey dey only pass students wey buy their handouts. The system is really shitty but we still strive to soar high and come out excellent due to our determination. We are responsible for our sucess.

N.B iwriterng never criticised the school degree but the education system which is a fact unless you want to keep deceiving urself. Our system, is below standard

For now there is nothing we can do than to get a better education abroad and may be come back in the future to invest in the system.

Any AP update?

Hello everyone.

I have been silently following this thread for a while and I went for my visa interview on Monday.

I was denied

I've been really distraught since Monday.

I need to reapply quickly because my school resumes in September.

I'm trying to gather my thoughts again to get input on my questions, as well as how I should re-apply soonest

Hi, does anyone know if there will be an issue at the POE if one arrives a few days after the start date on the i-20?

It is like people here are selfish. So sorry to use the word. Some of us just stumbled upon this thread and we have been asking how we can also be part of the idea of obtaining a US students Visa but no one is ready to enlighten us.

Pls, help us with information, starting from choosing. a school, how to obtain scholarship etc.

It is by helping others that we become fulfilled.

Help! Help!! Help!!!!

It's like some people are just too lazy to read. Sorry to use that word. You stumbled upon the thread and you navigated to the last page to ask question. It is a thread, you have to read from page 1 to get an insight of how to go about obtaining a degree in the US. Some pages on this thread covers that already.

You can ask specific question about what you dont understand, from GRE, WES, to SEVIS.
