Calypso80:


You now avoid this thread? I asked where in my post I advised or discouraged people from travelling out of Nigeria?

Now take my advice, work on your reading and comprehension skills before attending any visa application interview. 'Good luck as I said earlier on'

Lol. You expect me to sleep here on NAIRALAND like I don’t have things going on in my life... Would you point out how your post is related to the topic, or what’s the essence of telling us about going back to Nigeria and not living as a foreigner somewhere far away from home?

As for your last paragraph, I don’t even know what response best fits that but thank You, I will look into that if I have to travel out of the US anytime.

Calypso80:


You don't get it, I hold one of the 5 world most powerful passports. I can travel over 160 countries without queing up in any of their respective Embassies. Before now I visit Nigeria 2 times a year.

I am not an ilegal immigrant. Just tired of being a foreigner, tired of being afraid to stay in my own country 'as if man na fugitive' just because of the embeciles who selected themselves to be leaders.

For how long? Hope you get the word 'fugitive ' now?

Modified. Canada, USA and Asian countries inclusive.

Because you have achieved something, that’s why you can say that. You can wake up any day to visit anywhere and won’t be tagged. But please stop advising other people to not travel like you did earlier. You may choose to go back to Nigeria, that’s you and solely responsible for yourself. But people that aren’t doing anything and no hope hope in Nigeria, you shouldn’t be asking then not to travel because you have seen everything.

overseasnbeyond:
Stop the bullshit, where are the jobless people? Americans will always says they are jobless because they prefer free weekly payment than to work (unemployment)
Tell me if you need a job ? I will connect you instantly

Please connect me with a job that will pay me enough to build mansions in Nigeria within 2 months.

Thanks in anticipation.
Btw, I have some few certifications

TheNoble007:


Please be careful what you say here. There are opportunities, yes but don't make it seem as if the grass is very green.I lived in the US, so I know what I am saying.

Hey Man, how have you been... lost your contact. Let’s talk man. How is winter going. It’s very disruptive over here oo

starbuck:
At this point in my life , i am no longer interested in traveling out but will fight everything within me for my kids to escape this he'll hole of a country

Tell yourself the truth... You alone cannot fight it. I advise you do it for your kids or they will curse you someday . If you can, travel before they are born so they don’t have to fight for visa

JaySterling:
I applied for a conference and came in through B1/B2 visa

And you don day make millions for mansion? I pity you ooo

JaySterling:

Plenty jobs and business to do
Educational opportunities too for those looking to further

Many things mehn

Come and see for yourself

Lol... Just 2 Months OkAy ooo

Hotbutt:
Good evening. Please I need information on how to get some Yahoo Boys living opposite me Arrested.

I live in a close. My house is inside another close. In fact it's a close inside a close. You won't even know people live there becos the close is kinda hidden.

These boys are a complete nuisance since they moved into the area. They have no respect for those living around.

They are always packing their Cars infront of my gate purposely to block me from coming out of my house.
They make a hell of Noise.
They behave like complete Touts and Agberos. You can't even have a reasonable conversation with them. (So nobody should suggest that)
All they know is how to on generator from morning till night.
They live in a Flat where they pay about N400k and above.
The Landlord doesn't live there.
When they throw party, it is the worst. They will block the entire frontage with their numerous cars leaving no place to pass.

In fact they are a complete nuisance. I dislike them with passion.

I mind my business in the area 100%. If i look at u and u dont look reasonable or behave well, I avoid u.

If they can mind their own business without infringing on other people's right, we won't have a problem at all.

I want to end it all once and for all becos they think I can't do anything but I want to show them that my silence is not stupidity.

I need help on inviting the Law into this matter. If possible EFCC.

Thank you.

They will pay EFCC to get released and pay SARS to arrest and torture you

lordwilliams21:

you and I know that the probability of a white man creating this than a black man is very high, and again this was even created by an already existing company in the UK,if this was created in Nigeria by a Nigerian trust me the whole world including our fellow Nigerians will turn a blind eye to it.. when Ethiopia came up with a covid19 herb did anyone apart from some African countries tried to even test it?

Probability And you think that’s not ignorance? All top tech companies in the US for example are led by Indians. Major breakthrough and inventions today are diversely led by anyone, no white tendencies. Researchers in institutions are mostly Chinese, blacks and Indians. But you local champion thinks inventions are from whites... Whatever herbs they make anywhere should go through thorough investigations by the researchers, this is why Moderna, remsidir, and Pfizer too almost one year before it was mentioned. But your African countries in less than 3 weeks would claim they have a herb or a cure when it hasn’t been comfirmed nor tested, they don’t even have documentation and you want people to start consuming that?

StPete:


Depends on what it was designed for.
With an i9 processor, 64GB RAM, a 4k screen and a large sized SSD, I still insist it's the Beast

Today’s beast is how much computation a computer can do in less time. GPU is an indication of how beasts it is. Wonder why a Quantum computer is called super computer Computation and Speed... i9 processor is still not a big deal compared to an intel Xeon... you could browse Google for comparison. Also check out dell’s precision workstations with the Nvidia Quadro P series. But at the end, for a laptop, the specs are great but not a beast...

lordwilliams21:
funny thing is, if this was created by a Nigerian I know how much bashing the inventor would have received here on nairaland..but now people are praising it because it was created by the whites..we need to stop this white supremacy abegi!!..And truth is this is totally rubbish, a laptop was meant to be a portable computer that you can carry around to wherever you want to go ..now im wondering how many pounds this would weigh

The manufacturer and inventor could be black. Made in the UK doesn’t translate to made by whites... the leader of the the group of researchers at the forefront of COVID 19 research is a Nigerian. So let’s focus on content. No race nor ethnicity

positivevibez:
with GTX 1060 you're wrong should come with GTX 3060

No more GTX for DNN.... LambdaLab provides and recommends RTX 4000, 5000, 6000 for workstations.... even Alienware today has RTX 3090. I use an Alienware with RTX 3060 for DL

LagosismyHome:


Nobody can predict or tell you what your fate will be. Its all subjective on how the VO is convinced that he or she should issue you the visa. That you gave birth in the US in usually not an issue .

Did you pay all your hospital bill and declare your intention to give birth in the US, if yes then it usually fine if no then it can be come a problem

If you paid and declared your intention..... then prepare the normal way a student would prepare for an F1 visa interview and hope for the best

Welcome back Ma’am. How have you been? Stay Blessed

‘’How Many Rejections Now? 10!’’
How I got a Fully Funded Master’s Scholarship in The United States of America.

It had always been my desire to study abroad right from high school. So fast forward, having seen my final year result, graduating with a first class, I took 7 days off praying and fasting to ask God for the next agenda, what is next in His will? God began to speak to me about going abroad and confirming it in outstanding ways, details withheld. Okay, what destination? Having consulted with my Professors, my priority was Canada, USA and manageably UK. What do I need to get scholarships? Get my transcript, international passport, take IELTS/TOEFL and write GRE. While planning all these I was also praying towards my NYSC and God was telling me some things which were not very clear to me until I got to Ogun State NYSC Orientation Camp in Shagamu. Then it became very clear that though I have obeyed the clarion call of my fatherland, there was a demand of my father God on me that year to serve as State executive at Nccf Ogun , March 2018 to April 2019. It was a great sacrifice which took a lot of my time and attention because I was also serving as a Graduate Assistant, in the Electrical / Eletronic Engineering department at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, (MAPOLY), Abeokuta. And, I was lecturing. How I got my placement there is a story of faith for another day. Thank God service year ended and I was asked to apply as an Associate Lecturer by my HOD who wanted to keep me but somehow the application was declined by the Dean. I had applied for Mastercard Scholarship of McGill University, Canada, 3 Commonwealth Shared Scholarships (CSC), EducationUSA OFP and the PTDF scholarships while serving and they all looked promising. Despite the rigor of being the State Rugged, I stayed up late every night punching the computer, reviewing my application essays and the likes.

When my application was declined at MAPOLY, I moved to Lagos to stay with one of my mentor’s mentees, who works with Shell. I never knew he had been following my What’sapp status and by the kind of things I post there, he had judged that I am someone he could accommodate to stay with him, support and bring up to speed while I get sorted my applications. There in his house, I had access to electricity 24/7, food 24/7, even though I had already became a fasted man in NCCF. I settled down preparing for my GRE and though it was good, it wasn’t good enough for me with a score of 311. I could not write TOEFL or IELTS because of money and since many schools waive it. While preparing for GRE, the first rejection letter dropped. It was McGill’s, then the 3 CSCs and then the PTDF scholarship. After so much investment in preparation for the interview, I was not awarded. Then, I applied for Skoltech scholarship, a school in Russia, it was not successful. I applied for Mastercard Edinburgh, declined! Chevening, it failed then FSB Commonwealth Masters. I even paid a consulting firm to review my application, it failed. I was also applying to schools in the US But the problem was writing to Professors, requesting for GRA/GTA and getting no response.

How many rejections now? 10! While in this struggle, I got the idea to write to professors in Covenant University, to volunteer as a Research Assistant with anyone in line with my research interest, drawing from a scholar who challenged me by telling me, I didn’t have any online research presence apart from social media. He said the first thing most professors do when they get your mail is to put your name in Google to know if you have been in the corridor of research work and publication, to know if your mail is worth their reply. Personally, I did not know anyone in Covenant University so I went through the school website, went through the CVs of some lecturers in the Electrical and Information Engineering Department and I wrote to 5 of them. I made contacts in Unilag, especially because I had a comfortable accommodation at Surulere, and OAU because I could be accommodated in our mission house in Ife and I would be able to survive on tutorials. I got accepted into the 3 – OAU, Unilag, Covenant for voluntary research assistant work. I got a response from one of the Professors in Covenant who was willing to take me but on a condition - no accommodation, no stipend! That was a great challenge especially for someone from my background but I had learnt to walk by the leading of the Holy Spirit. September 2019, I resumed at Advanced Signal Processing and Machine Intelligence Lab, Covenant University Centre for Research, Innovation and Development, Covenant University and, by December, I got a scopus-index paper published in a conference held in Madrid, Spain.

After this I started getting a few responses from the Professors I was now contacting in the US. I kept writing, I kept searching for schools and I kept applying to schools. I applied to 6 schools in the US, I was getting admitted even for direct PhD but full funding was the main challenge. In another 3 months, by April, 2020 I had already gotten 4, all scopus-indexed publications, with one as the first author, and 2 other ongoing journal papers. I also got a fully funded scholarship to do my master’s at Covenant University with World Bank project under the supervision of my Professor but with a condition that I was not going to travel abroad untill I am done with the 2 years. That was the first opportunity in two years but, I had to decline it even though I was yet to secure one scholarship abroad because while I prayed about it, I heard God telling me that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. I also remembered how in March, while at a church anniversary meeting, the guest minister from nowhere picked me up and began prophesying about my journey abroad with some instructions and revelation of the future and so I did not seek counsel with any human being until after I had declined it. I did not want to be pitied out of God’s plan for my life.

Shortly after, Covid-19 broke out, and with it, the global lockdown and ban on international flights, all hopes became very gloomy. Those who had secured scholarships even in the US prior to this time were being faced with the possibility of losing them. I know people who lost theirs, how much more I who was still just hoping to get one. Anyways for me, it was a journey of faith with God saying to me ‘let the bird in your hand go for two in the bush’. Who does that? My faith had built from faith-based teachings I had been listening to, I soaked myself into them and interacted with friends of like-faith who in the heat of the lockdown, started a whatsApp group where we pray and share God’s word with each other, just the three of us. In the lockdown, our lab was not locked down and I was working on some research work when we got this grant from the university to design and build an automatic solar powered water, soap and sanitizer dispensing machine with automatic temperature sensing functionality which we were also working on. This was the 8th month of volunteering without any pay. How was I being accommodated and fed? Those are testimonies of grace and favor for another day. God is too faithful to fail His children who serve and call upon Him in truth. Meanwhile, I was not really scouting for jobs. Maybe I would have gotten one, but that was not in the plan I received when I was leaving campus after my week-long wait in fasting and prayers.

Then came this fateful day, the last Friday of May 2020. we had just finished our normal weekly research cluster meeting and I was about to close my computer to leave the lab when I refreshed my mail and saw a strange email subject titled ‘Assistantship offer and SEVIS form’. I opened it and could only manage to read it halfway as tears roll down. A fully funded master scholarship worth thousands of dollars. The application fee was waived, my documents were sent free of any charges, I didn’t have to pay a dime, it was all covered and overflowing. Even if I were to bring a spouse, she would be covered as well. What a great God! I was to resume for the fall which was in August, 2020 but because of the international flight ban in Nigeria, I had to defer it to spring 2021, which is January. And so, for the first time in my life, I was on board an an airplane, on a flight to the United States of America. This is my third week in the US and everything has totally changed. Everything I struggled for in Nigeria, I am settled with in the US. I can clearly see pathways to the kind of future I desired and ofcourse fulfilling God’s master plan in the earth is my priority.

Eventually, I spent 14 months volunteering in Covenant University, and though I was not paid by my Professor, the school paid for every scopus-indexed publication and I was able to achieve the following:
1. Two fully funded scholarships; one declined, one accepted and one pending interview results
2. Assisted with Experimentations on Machine Learning Techniques Towards the Development of an Automatic Nigerian Currency Recognition Model, and published a conference paper.
3. Conducted research on Automatic Modulation Recognition Using Cepstrum Descriptors and Feed-Forward ANN and then using Constellation Diagrams with CNN for publication as two journal papers
4. Researched on the Transmit Power of a Universal Software Radio Peripheral Using GNU Radio Framework and a Handheld RF Explorer, published a conference paper.
5. Assisted with Experimentations with OpenStack System Logs and Support Vector Machine for an Anomaly Detection Model in a Private Cloud Infrastructure, and published a conference paper.
6. Three ongoing research works and manuscripts.

For me, the rejections were divine directions because even though I have left Covenant University, I am still a member of my Professor’s research cluster and we are still working and collaborating together on projects.

I am thanking you on your behalf for not settling for less. You have just arrived the right place for A.I. and Machine Leaning. I hope your research is still concentrated on Machine learning. The US is highly in demand for such scholar. Congratulations and welcome onboard.

Okay.

Then You guys do not need to still go to the main reddit forum to copy their posts and put here to lure people to this telegram group then.

Even on mainstream media, it is never mentioned that there is a telegram group. Never mentioned. Only twitter, a discord group and a contact email.

Actually, it matters not to me, just a bit worried about newbies who are at risk to fraudsters here. And who also may not understand the market well.

Incase anyone is interested, Website for reddit is www.reddit.com

As I said, it is a free world

Those NL monickers are newbies in the stock market too. Just ignore them and I hope others don’t fall for their BS

yazga:
I think what she is trying to say is cut your coat according to your size.

She doesn’t understand the question... it’s not about cutting your coats. I have over 5000 dollars in my portfolio. Made 300% from FUBO options in 3 days.

What I’m asking the OP is about the penny stocks he posted. They did very well in premarkets over 50%. If you jump on those stocks when market opens, you might be shooting yourself in the leg because they might just swing so low. My question is how he is able to buy them in premarket when they they haven’t risen at his posted prices. Are there apps that sells on premarket??

lavylilly:
Sweetie buy 1 unit or o.9 units or look for other stcok to buy or join Kourageouskween on telegram

Does that answer the question?? I don’t understand what you are saying btw

OakPearl:
Day traders, I come in peace.

EDSA-$5.52
KOSS- $6.06
MYO-$10.78
AQMS-$5.90

Trade wisely.

Good luck!

Your alerts are always very high on premarkets, many times, they are too high up to 50 - 100% to jump in when market opens... $Koss, for example. How do you manage to buy them at these prices?

yazga:
check Instagram

What’s the handle?

Any reliable premium stock pickers like motley fool?

Boyofgrace:


Thankfully it has been reversed already and Nigeria with all the other countries affected was amongst this decision .
The immigration ban was made through an executive order and by another executive order it can be removed just like that and it has been done.
Congratulations to all Nigerians

Good to hear, thanks

.

frapzkid:
who else is so happy Biden is in office.
Just yesterday he lifted the immigrant travel ban for Nigerian applicants.
But still it may not necessarily mean getting a student visa would be much easier than before.
There would still be that same serious interview and screening

Not sure Executive order can Reverse the immigration ban. It was implemented by a court. Will read more though. It’s a good news hopefully

Vidsolution79:
Why not start....pure water or bottle water factory on that land

Daft, answer his question or let him be

OakPearl:
Good to be back again.
Got banned just after posting some day trade picks on Friday.
Maybe we are not allowed to post stock picks again

Hope we are all still winning.

Would you be willing to talk more about options trading. Bought $ZM 450 call last week and so far I’m up 400%. I bought $TRLY late, but not been doing great yet. Is NIO call a good one to buy considering that it’s been stagnant for days.

What's up with normal process in Nigeria? Is it something forbidden in a case where it actually works?

“In a case where”. You understand why that is inserted, that’s exactly why I posted that comment

Which course is more easier to get a job after studies in the USA ��

1. Exceptional (No matter what course)
2. STEM
3. School (Ivy, top100 e.t.c)
4. Degree(Bsc, MSc, PhD)

OFG1:


Well.. If the person will come and do capturing for you at home and you'll get the passport the next day, you can pay 60k for it.

If not, Nigerian International passport is 25k if you go through the normal process. You can check the NL thread below.
