I heard once you sight a snail in the US, the first thing to do is to call the cops, if you touch a snail you are advised to quarantine, any snail involving incident is treated as an emergency. Commercial activities involving snails is worse than cocaine trafficking and can attract a lengthy jail sentence.

Lol. Lies. We day chop snails for Resturant

Lagos
Bachelor degree
Coa: $23,699
No funding: (haven’t been decided yet till May ending according to DSO of the school)
school: EIU
Vo : do your thumbprint
Vo : you are going for your bachelor degree right
Me : yes bachelor degree in political science
Vo : why this school
Me : I chose this school because it’s cheap and very affordable for my sponsor and she cut in
Vo : 49$ is not cheap!
Me: No ma my COA is just $23k+ ( but due to the SOA I send to get my i20 after they calculated the money with there rate is was equivalent to $49k so they input it like that so the family fund was $49k as indicated on my I20 I think that is why she said it’s not cheap) she check and quickly confirm and nodded.
Vo : who is spending a lot on you
Me : my brother he has been supporting me since when I want for my diploma course and he is ready and welling to support me
Vo : what does he do.
Me : he is a politician (I mute for a while immediately I wanted to say he Former deputy she cut in and ask
Vo : what will you do with the course
Me : I will come come to Nigeria to continue work at my place of work but in higher position. I can be transferred to state secretariat or federal and I will start my political ambition by joining political party.
Vo : type and type and type like 5min self and eventually she said you aren’t qualified for this and brought out the blue pepper.


Please guys at @moshkom and at every other gurus in this house just advise me pls and I will appreciate this is my 3 attempt and I am 25. Should I try again or I should just go back and complete my hnd and apply for masters or I should try once again ?
Secondly my sevis fee will expire on July eventually if I apply and get date lets say by August (aug 22 is my program start date ) hope I will still be able to use the sevis fee or I will have to pay for another sevis fee again.

Politician is not what he does. you could have mentioned that he’s the former deputy of … and that he’s currently…

You don’t choose a school because it’s cheap, that should be the secondary reason not primary. You need to come up with a convincing reasons like funding, research coursework and all that.


Go back and try again if you can. But draft out a better transcript that sells you as an ambitious student who knows what going to America for Political Spence means to him.

You can only use sevis within one year, otherwise you pay a new one

Moshkom:



Once again, congratulations her Husband’s wife. Lol

The other day, one guy (predst*n) said ‘we’ saying “gibberish” because ‘we’ are trying to ‘help’ with ‘our’ 2cent on mock reviews. Lol. Since then we stopped, to avoid ‘bad reviews’ on the name Moshkom.

Again, congratulations and fly safe, Ma!

You could have mentioned me. It’s okay to help and you will find several other people who don’t find it helpful and talk about it. Afterall, I haven’t been a troll on your post. Just coming out to talk about one of your post does not mean I had an hateful stand about you. I have never quoted you nor comment on any of your helpful post. However, if you feel that way, I’m so sorry.

That should not in anyway stop you from helping others if you are available. I was helped years ago when I came here too and from such posts, I picked what is necessary and what is not. But being helpful doesn’t mean we can’t be corrected nor questioned.

Banji101:
Congratulations Ma.

Please I have an issue concerning the emergency date...

My program starts by August 2022, but as at yesterday, I saw on cgi portal that September was available and I picked the date. Now, on getting to the emergency application portal, I saw that you can only apply for emergency date if your program starts in the next 60 days. I am in a confused state RN, and I don't know what to do. Any advise from anyone will go a long way.

Thanks in anticipation.

It’s very fine to have picked that date. Keep checking if you are going to see a new date that you would prefer. Otherwise, wait until it’s within 60 days of resumption to apply for emergency. The biggest and the most important for now is your interview. Keep practicing and putting things together towards your interview…

GoodLuck to you.

Nobody uses a Tecno or Infinix phone on here anymore?
Wahala.

Well, the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I. It weighs too much at 240g, users on GSMArena have been complaining quite bitterly.

II. How do u open Apps like Binance easily when the phone doesn’t have fingerprint?

III. The TrustWallet doesn’t have the DApps. Una no dey stash airdrop?

IV. A lot of promising apps like Branch for loans, 1DM for downloading software for PC are absent on Apple Store.

V. It has a hard time sharing files with an ordinary brand that isn’t the Apple MacBook

VI. Sharing files via Xender and the files end up on Xender.

VII. Having to deal with a single sim, or spending extra to buy the Dual Sim variant which has some percentage of developing sim fault(GSMArena users’ complaints), because I have two SIM cards o.

How do u cope with a phone like this?

Is dah phone only for the:
I. Feeling of class
II. The amazing notification sounds, and
III. The nice vibration?

Okay, maybe I should also add the good display and general speaker sound.

Is dah all?

lol.

1. It’s only normal that computers weigh as much as the get better. Moore’s law is playing a role. Decades ago, our phones could have been a big building in order to handle what the phones does today. The iPhone 13 has the fastest and the most compact chipset ever to be on a phone even during a period of scarcity of semiconductors

2. The FaceID is the fastest means to access any app on your phone. 10x better than a fingerprint. Every application available on Apple should be able to access it if they want to.

3. Alien to me

4. It’s not apple’s fault. Most of those apps will not pass Apple’s security verification. Android is Open source OS. Apple is vetted critically

5. The world has advanced beyond Xender. I have never shared anything with anyone for over 5 years. Well, I stream my music online, stream YouTube and download. Thanks to 1G/s frontier internet.

6. Sorry bro, in America where IPhone came from. We don’t need two SIms. If we need a second number, we can get that from google voice or text now. No one is going to pay phone bill for two SIMs. No advantage.

For the last three.

No one cares about your phone in the a working country, no one cares about your car except it’s truly luxurious. Everyone drives a car and everyone can afford any kind of phones they want..

Personally, I use iPhones because it’s easier to integrate with my macbook, Ubuntu and server and as a programmer, I haven’t used Windows OS for over 3 years.
The railone or whatever he’s called is truly funny

.

railone:



Oga there will never be a Q4 that Samsung tops iPhone when Apple releases new product September / October... make una dey lie small na.. everybody uses the internet

The data are all out there… A new flagship phone is less than 30% of the Market shares for every Quarter.

railone:


understand before you choose to reply... Samsung is present in all categories of phones, shipping close to 20 products... The IPhone only has product in the high end category with 4 units...
For it to carve out 29% of the total market is more than impressive.

Do you know what it means to be #1 in the Chinese market. A market that is government regulated and individually inclined to favor local products

Sorry bro, Viva has the highest shipment in China. China is only 1.4billion out of the world population. The data are all polluted out there and you can find it anywhere…

I use am iPhone 13 pro Max but I talk from data points not from sentiments.

AutoRedux:



You are running faster than your shadow.
Samsung might sell more than them because Samsung produce both low-end and high end(flagship) phones while apple produce only high-end(flagship) phones.

Now let's look at the best selling phones of the year. Below is a lift of the best selling phones individually for the years 2018 to 2021.

This is crazy man. Compare Smartphones not one to one phone…. Samsung is the most sold smartphone in the world

seanwilliam:
First quarter of the year ,over 40m iPhone 13 sold, which means over 100m will be sold before the end of the year .

Most valuable brand .Apple
Richest company in the world 3t$. Apple , valuable than whole of Africa GDP
Highest selling smart phones ( flagship) . Apple
Mumu predstan

Send prove bro. I have said it already Apple is the Most valuable. But Samsung sells more than Apple in the world

.

Tamad101:
Hello @Predstan, I want to pm you seeing that you studied at MTSU.
I have my visa already

Hello, unfortunately, I don’t have access to my NAIRALAND email. I’m not sure what other way we can get in contact. Also, to be forward, I graduated from MTSU and left Tennessee for good lol.

.

railone:


yet it controls the premium phone market and has 29% overall Market share for a IPhone that only has product in the flagship level..

that you don't know how impressive that is can be one of the reason why you just called the iPhone overhyped

Well, Samsung is doing better than iPhone in the Market control and has always been.

[quote author=joliva post=111206543][/quote]


The way he reviewed that as the one sharing the visa is what I have problem with. It’s okay to review proposed or real transcripts but do not antagonize it like you are the one granting the Visa

Progress100:


He/she got the visa by grace not because the transcript was perfect or anything. Visa approval is by grace! May that grace come upon everyone of us awaiting for same.

Grace Stop discussing Grace when you go to public forum where everyone are anonymous. Not everyone subscribe to your grace or whatever it is… if it’s by grace, pack all of your friends and family to enjoy the grace at the embassy.

Ijchichi5190:



Nawa o,you people sometimes wana bring down someone's spirit for trying to help out freely.Not fair,that was his own suggestion, why not disagree constructively.

Again what he did was not a review at all. If the person hadn’t gotten his/her visa already. He could have been demotivated by what you called a review. Review transcripts as a third party and not as the VO sharing the visa…

Anyways, that person got the visa with the same review that said he could not have gotten it

Moshkom:


Oh! Really! Makes sense.

Someone else would learn from the review.

That was not a review at all. But some gibberish.

Moshkom:


Ah! Your cousin in SCHOOL (not just any school, same country school wey you wan enter) would cover your own deficit? Base on, he’s fully funded there or flowing in USA wealth?
Ah! Ah!! Ah!!! This wan no sound right at all. Biko, In all you do, don’t even try SAYING that.
Find a 9ja SOA and say your Uncle (as they’re expecting, lol) you can even use his 9ja account to do that.

You’re going for USA interview, you only meant to give USA related answer(s) to the question(s) being ask; talking about removing the Canada and Singapore schools mentioned in your names and numbers of schools applied to.

PS: Those are the 2 ‘things’ that catch my attention to reply rn.

Goodluck boss!


Edit:

Just seeing this rn: “ he saw the funding deficit he immediately said he would cover it.”

Lmao! Please oh, IMMEDIATELY COVER IT ke? You want them to bring his own personal record(s) to your ‘face’, make you know say him sef never balance, they would easily do that. Just to save their own time and stress; They won’t sef, because they know it’s like ‘not possible’. A student LIKE YOU, want to fund you. Lol
Even Dangote won’t ‘immediately’ covers someone’s DEBT, when it’s not ‘passion’ or they jazz him. Lol

Please don’t play that ‘card’ for your own sake.
PLEASE!

They got their Visa with the same interview so wtf you talking about

1stGenAmerican:


1. The loan is nullified and funds are returned to the lender. 2. The loan will be nullified and the funds returned to the lender. When the school that you listed on your visa application reports that you are not enrolled, your student visa will be cancelled.

Your loan is conditionally approved and not final before reporting to school. So if you choose not to continue with your loan, you have no obligation or responsibility. The pre approved loan automatically expires within a certain period of time.
The second statement about visa is not true man. When you transfer to another school, you transfer your sevis from your current school. You can transfer as many times as you want to. All that matters is being enrolled in a school every semester for atleast 9credit hours as a graduate student.

Moshkom:
Below are USA Schools “they say” they do accept HND without WES:

Don’t try it. To anyone reading this please do your WES and get beyond these things. Please do WES many of these schools don’t accept international transcripts without WES irrespective of what your degree says

Honlucas:
.


Ok after my msc . If I should graduate with distinction can a get admitted Into PhD program in Tamu or any other uni ?.

If yes will I come back to Nigeria to renew my study visa or do it there?

Yes you can easily get a fully funded PhD if you do well in your Masters.
No you don’t have to leave the US anytime as long as you are in status(either a job after MSc or a PhD program). You do not need to renew your visa while in the US except you travel out of the US

Honlucas:



Mackynaija after a lot of research I have opted for Msc.microbiology in Texas A&M university..

I wanna apply for thesis program due to the research and internship. I plan to stay back after my msc .

Is getting a job as a microbiologist very hard?

What's my chances of staying back after my msc.

Please reply

Yes except you get a phd

bake19:
If you have us immigrant Visa you can go to any state, but if you plan to leave in an entirely different state or address, you should inform uscis of your new address.

For immigrants?

energixx:
Thank you very, my German school is top 10 while the USA school is top 100.

Thanks for your response.

A top 100 USA school would have been my choice if I was in your shoes. That’s because I have a different dream than being a faculty or a top world researcher. America gives you more opportunities than being a professor. I can tell you boldly that years into your PhD, you will start getting interview invites from these companies even if you didn’t apply for a job. My experience is biased toward CS and EE degree so don’t hold me for this statement.

If your dream is to become a renowned professor, please target top schools (ranking matters). If otherwise, America matters.

Gokoyer1401:
Sir, the bolded may not likely happen. US mostly accepts graduates within US for postdoc. And there are issue of language barrier that can stand as one of the obstacles in getting desired job in Germany. I will advise him to seek honest opinion from those with PhD degrees from Germany. Left to me, I will still choose US over Germany for PhD.

US mostly accepts graduates within the Us because there are more students in the US. I am a PhD student and I have seen several Out of country PhD getting a post doc. You mentioned issues with Language? If your publications are in English, there is no issue with language. Again, if he’s in the top 10 school in Germany and you cemented your place with publications, you will get Post doc in the US. Engineering post doc are everywhere though may be competitive. Btw, my advisor came from outside the US for a Post Doc which led to his appointment as a Professor.

So yes, 3 years at a German top school is better than 5 years in a No name American school.

energixx:
Please I need advise

I got a PhD in Germany which comes with several gadgets (laptop, desktop, phone, flight coverage, residency option etc) and huge salary. At the same time, I got a PhD offer in the USA with a research assistantship.
The salary in Germany is 1.8 times the one in the USA
USA PhD will take me 5yrs to complete while Germany will take me 3yrs
The course from German directly aligns with my interest while I'm gonna be picking up another field in the USA, all in Engineering.

Which one will you advise me to go for?

#gurus_in_the_house

It depends on what you want. Germany is equally a good country to get your PhD. However, there are more opportunities in the US. If you are not attending the top schools in Germany, you won’t be open to as much opportunities available in the US. Most of the prestigious engineering workshops and conferences happens in the USA and a degree from the USA is just bigger than what you will earn at any school in Germany that is ranked less than 300 in the world.

Technically if your school is in the Top 10 in Germany, I will advise you go for that. Spend 3 years in school and a 2years post doc in the US will bring the same prestige as an American degree. If your American school is in the top 20 in America, ditch anything and go for that. Spend 4-5 years In school and start the faculty race if that’s your dream. Otherwise, you will have more companies (from FAANG to startups) calling to employ your expertise.

Nozino:



Hello,

I wasn’t talking based on my singular experience. It has been proven time and again that what ever you get with the free calculator increases after the official evaluation. This is indeed a fact.

Again. Nothing was proven. I have been on here for over 5 years and it’s not true on and outside nairaland.

You don’t label things to be fact when the official website says otherwise and when you have limited experience. I had my WES in 2017, I had a different experience. I have equally seen a lot of people with different experiences other than what you called fact. So I don’t know where your fact is coming from.

illumined999333:
Nozino it's your guy you talk to on phone. Show respect to predstan, na senior man. Dude completed this journey we are on as far back as 2019, and he has a hnd too. He should be done with his MSc by now.

No need to be respected brother. The most important is to understand what he/she doesn’t know. Experience as they say is the best teacher. He/she probably haven’t seen such scenario, so not to generalize your own personal experience.

Nozino:



Do you understand English at all? This has been proven over time. If you use the Free calculator, whatever you get increases after the official evaluation. This isn’t up for debate.

Nothing was proven. Just a new user trying to throw bogus assertions. It is not General. Evaluation is course by course. It doesn’t happen to everyone, the calculator is an estimate and not official. It may reduce after official evaluation and sometimes increases. Your one experience doesn’t make it general
