100kobo:
I agree quite frankly.
There goes a rider to your stance on this matter- the ability of the candidate to present rational and robust argument during the chat. But for candidates who are unable to sway the argument to their gain, my advice for them- don't mention PhD!

.

eastafro:
jesus bruh you got issues man, take a break from naira land or ignore the question if we to dumb for you . FYI aint nothing comprehensive about what you said fucker! i asked the deadline for an early admission decision and to answer my fucking question it would be ,it depends on the program but a simple google search suggests most have them around november 1.there! i answered my own question.
sorry to anybody who sees this but this fuckers reply somehow got on my nerve. i am sick and tired of asking for help and being told that "stop asking questions and use your initiative ".
i swear this pompous assholes who think they know it all just cause they went through it are fakes. you dont know shit bruh you just happened to experience it before me. its not a big deal.

You are not suppose to be here... I hope you are not applying for a masters but if you are, I think you need to go back to your undergraduate institution for a refund of your tuition and fees. He's not an Admission Officer of the said school you are applying to. How do you expect him to know when your application will be evaluated. You should understand his response to your question and not just come here to throw unethical diatribe.


Even from that compound word "Early Decision application" you should understand what it means. Your application will be evaluated and a decision will be received early with utmost consideration. Direct your other questions to the Admission officer of your school.

I didn't see that. Maybe you should repost it under this one.

Proposed Transcript

Good morning
Vo: Where are you going?
I am going to the the university of south Florida to study for my masters degree in Electrical Engineering

Vo: How do you know about this university?
I read one of prof don morel's research paper which was granted patent in 2011 in the field of photovoltaic solar energy system and I contacted the prof to show my interest in this field. He advised that I should apply officially to this university.

Vo: tell me about this invention/research paper.
It is a method of manufacturing solar cell with Copper- indium-gallium-selenide semiconductor which is of low cost and high Efficiency compared to solar cells made of poly-Crystalline Silicon.

Vo: You have been previously refused visa, why were you denied?
The letter states that I don't have enough ties to my home country because I couldn't Convince the Visa Officer of my true intent which I believe was due to my timidity being my first time applying for a ViSa.

Vo: so tell me your true intent of studying in America
I want to study and research on Photovoltaic solar system for my masters degree which would help me with my career goal of transforming and improving my dads company by introducing solar energy system as a main source of power in Nigeria just as NEXTERA energy company in the US generate about 930MW of Power in Florida through solar cells. This would directly contribute to the Nigeria power sector.

Vo: What type of company does your dad own?
Its an electrical contracting company. We deal with Electrical installation of Cabling and associated devices such as switches, distribution boards, sockets and light fittings in a structure.

Vo: Tell me about your educational background
I graduated in 2016 from the federal Polytechnic... with a distinction as one of the best student in the department of electrical engineering.

Vo: what have you been doing since you graduated?
I went for NYSC in 2016. I served as a graduate teaching assistant at Kwara state college of education which I completed in 2017 and I have been working in dads company as a technical supervisor leading teams of skilled technicians to carry out installation and repair.

Vo: How many universities u applied to?
I applied to 6universites and I got admitted in all

Vo: why this University?
Because I want to be involved in an innovative research. I will be learning from faculties known for inventions and will be researching under an inventor, Prof. Don Morel. The university is ranked amongst the only 25 best universities for technology transfer in the US. It's also ranked 12th for generating US patent in the World.

Who's your sponsor?
I secured a loan from prodigy finance which my dad will be responsible for while my Aunt will be supporting me. He will be paying $500 to prodigy finance monthly while I'm in school.

fairheart:
PM me or write here: emmanuelkingx@gmail.com Let's have a mock!

Fairheart. Can you please look into my previous post. I have posted my denied transcript and a proposed one. I just would like to have your input as well

Humble11:
Experience of course. What’s my business with logical thoughts

Could you please share that experience with us?

Humble11:
I don’t agree with this , there is no crime in changing school if you have a genuine reason for choosing the school. Some schools give funding at a later time, I may have gone for interview with a school that didn’t give me funding and later another school gave me full funding after a month interview, am 100% free to change school. It all depends on why you are changing school.

Are you writing from experience or just a Logical thought?

brightify:
my friend was admitted two years ago without GRE,maybe they just added that to their requirements,but check praireview A&M university,they don't require GRE but they require toefl and ielts

Yeah thanks. This information is actually not for me tho

AZeD1:
To make a text bold, highlight the text and click on the 'B' button just above the reply box. That said, there's wishful thinking and there's pragmatism. I prefer to be pragmatic. It would be nice if political office holders reduce they emoluments and stop looting but that's wishful thinking.

Government can work towards increasing salaries and if we go by past antecedents, everything else will increase so the only thing that has increased the amount workers are receiving but the value might probably have decreased.

Government can also work towards reducing the cost of living which would ensure that the current money they earn would increase in value. If the price of food can drop just 30%, peoples lives would be better.
You made one good point in your last post which is increasing loans to farmers.

When you increase minimum wage, all workers across the spectrum get an increase including directors and permanent secretaries who are already on decent wages. The goal should be helping the lowest of the low and the government can start by not taxing anyone who earns less than 45k (I don't know if they are currently taxed).

Wait!!! Why do you sound different? I can't just believe you can compose a more prolific wordings instead of those rhetoric insults u throw at me. Now I can pick points from your write-ups. The only problem with minimum wage argument is the value of our currency. Do you remember the minimum wage was increased from 8k to the current 18k?which was even more valuable than the current proposed wage And there was no inflation as much as you thought there would be. I still want to know how you think we can increase the value of our currency.


Modified: If Loans are available to farmers but the value of the common workers cannot afford to buy goods from farmers, the government will not be reimbursed of the loans they had lend to farmers which will mean the farmer will definitely be packing up in the mean time. This is what is affecting our economy. Many startups are packing because their products are not selling to profit them. Hope you grab my point.

Reference:
Minimum wage does not end with the least paid worker so it is deceptive to use 18,000, 24 or 30,000 as a benchmark. Those working for goverment on a basic of 18,000 may not be more than 15 percent of the work force. There are those earning 35, 50, 100, 150, 200, 350,000 as basic and these maybe upgraded pro rata and moreover when basic goes up other perks go up as well as some allowances are estimated as percentages ofthe basic wage, then pensions will also rise to meet certain thresholds. I tell you the effects will be dramatic. Without a major, major rise in productivity, Nigeria is set to date extreme poverty and take her to the alter in the coming years.

Thank you. I was just joking about that. But from your analogy, You still think Nigeria cannot pay 30k as minimum wage to the least workers? I like that part "Major major Rise in productivity". So "we need a major major slash in some exorbitant wages of politicians". If our country is not suffering from hurricanes and our whether is not like that of Antarctica or Verkhoyansk, we can generate more income to our purse if not for Cupidity of the so called politicians

sundoj08:
thankfully you replied cos i couldn't stop imagining how ignorant ppl can be throwing some *beer parlor gossip* in the air. This is why Nigeria is whr it's at, wayy too much ignorant nonsense of how things work realistically.

Ok. Beer parlour indeed. I await your opinion tho. If you can't air your opinion, you should be frying to sell your intellectual opinion to the government.

AZeD1:
You are a special kind of dull person. From your analogy, the farmer produced an apple before he got paid, he wasn't given the money first in the hope that he would produce something.

Money isn't made from air, so for the government to increase salary, it first has to source the money from somewhere. Now a smart person would know that the last budget was partly funded by loans and any increase to the budget without an increase in productivity means an increase in borrowing which comes with its own costs.

At 18k, close to 25 out of 36 states couldn't pay salaries what do you think would happen to states that can't pay the 18k when it becomes 30k?

To voice your opinion, obnoxious statement should be avoided. Do away from insults and Verbiage use of words.

If money is not made from the government, how then do you expect a common farmer to own his farm. You probably don't understand my analogy. I will refer you to https://www.heritage.org/jobs-and-labor/report/the-economy-hits-home-what-makes-the-economy-grow

I earlier called you BMC fellow because you still believe anything the mendaciloquence politicians says. The budget you are referring to is full of money going back to their pockets.

Tell me why they weren't able to pay 18k, was it because there was no money?

I still believe investing in Human capital development is the best way to go in Nigeria. Make Loans available to farmers, increase the value of your workers so that they will be able to buy from farmers and the farmer will be able to pay back the loan with interest. I still don't know how to bold sentence on Nairaland I 4 don bold this for you. Desist from the prevaricated statement they had fed u with.

A Country of about 200million is still languishing on how to go about governance.

Hedonini:
Nigeria needs restructuring, and its not the type of restructuring that's making the news (geopolitics, bla bla). But unfortunately, no one would take te Bull by the horn. Many fools thought Buhari would be the man to do that. The kind of no nonsense leader who has no friends. No allegiances. No biases. No joy. Alas! Buhari is worse than anyone before him.

Our problem in Nigeria is that we are too lazy. We love the low hanging fruits. The soft choices.

Until we find people who despise low hanging fruits and prefer to take hard decisions that would pay off in the long run we're not ready to start.

We need to DISBAND the civil service at the Federal level and the states. It's not only overbloated but filled with incompetent and barely educated idiots who got the jobs via one godfather or the other. That's why paying salaries is a problem. You have a massive crowd of unproductive idiots leeching on the system. It's a big joke.

Thank you my Man. We need restructuring definitely. I think thats another topic for another thread. Disbanding the Federal and the states civil service is not the best thing because that means our power generation will be on hold and other sector mounted by the Civil service. You want to know how the US government can give account of the number of hours, every legal workers do in a day? Because they have a system of technology that records that.

It still baffles me that Nigeria is compared to other African countries. We should be far ahead of them and should be the Giant of this continent by productivity.

We need fresh ideas and technologically driven leaders before we can think of restructuring. Some states don't have anything productive to generate Income so how are they going to cope restructuring.

AZeD1:
1) You don't know me but but you've already assigned a label to me which is frankly the sign of unintelligent people.
2) If you had listened in class when your teacher was talking, you would know that the bold part of your statement is trash. The basic definition of in inflation is too much money chasing fewer goods. You don't increase salary because you want production to increase.
3) Like I said in my earlier post, hope is not a strategy. No Governor will reduce his spending because he needs to pay salary.

Then you need to go back to school. Tell me what happens when money does not flourish in a country. I have to quote this from The Heritage Foundation " when a farmer tends an apple orchard and then sells the apples, he gets money to buy what he needs for his own use and to sustain his apple business, while customers get the apples, which they prefer to the money they give the farmer. Income has been created by developing products that consumers want. If the farmer saves rather than spends some of the proceeds, he can invest the money and create even more income in the future" The economy grows when individuals and businesses succeed in recognizing new markets and new opportunities and accept the risks involved in pursuing these opportunities in the hope of earning income. But imagine when these markets are available but no one Buys it, they are going to pack up and leave that country to invest in another country.

Rail or Road construction shouldn't be our priority but our priority should be human capital development. Increase minimum wage which in turn increases tax paid back to the government. When wages are increased, increase school fee and standard of our tertiary institutions which will later in the years be the best for our country.

You are here spitting nonsense. They are telling you there is no money in the country and you are listening to the dissemblers. You argue what you don't know without explanations. I bet you don't live on 18k in a month but you are comfortable seeing your countrymen living on 18k.

I still believe we can pay 60k as minimum wage which is taxable by 20%.

This would pay over 1million workers the minimum wage of 30k

Humble11:
Depends on the course

That person is asking for Computer Science

AZeD1:
Dave Umahi is right. It's sad but its the truth. Nigeria is neither a productive country nor a rich country and every year we keep digging the grave of the country further.

The last budget of the country has us spending about 75% of the budget on recurrent and just 25% on capital expenditure. A certain percentage of the budget (40% is my guess) is being funded by borrowing. An increase from 18k to 30k is a 67% increment.
So the country is about to increase recurrent expenditure by 67% without an increase in productivity? If we continue down this route, by 2021/2022, our entire budget would be funded by borrowing and it would be used just to pay salaries till we can't borrow again.



Hope is not a strategy.

I guess you are a BMC fellow who doesn't know anything... You need to understand that the politicians are spending more than what the minimum wage of workers should be. They spend, embezzle and divert enough fund that can be allocated to Productive workers. Imagine what 18k was in 2014 compared to 18k in 2018.. 18k in 2015 was $100 while 18k in 2018 is just $48 and price of commodity has increased by 300%. How do you want the country to be productive when there is no flow of money. If a worker could get 30k, he will extend this to the foodstuff seller around him and other stuffs that he needs. Market will flourish which will in turn reduce the price of commodity and will improve the value of our currency

Mandem101:
APologies for the Epistle, and pardon the typos below; figured i should answer ASAP based on free -time
. if i didn't answer any question, do not hesitate to ask, i would try my best to answer correctly and based on my lil experience.
Format: This is my understanding based on what i experienced, i don't think it has changed much.

It was a toss up between Citizen's bank and Discover Loan (i ended up going with this); The requirement include; a co-signer (US permanent resident or Citizen. Hopeful you have a relative that would be willing to help out) and the school you are heading to should have an affiliation with the bank,most schools do anyway. Usually, an I-20 is required as part of the documentation to finalise the process. SOme schools would forward your I-20 after you send a letter the lending company forwards to you , some schools don't (in situations like this this, the officer in charge should be able to work you through it).

It should not take more than 48 -72 hours to get response of approval with a good cosigner . then you are left with the bursar's office in your school to certify that the amount you claim is what is needed based on your I-20 estimate.


For indemnity note: it was more like a promissory note + property valuation note to my cosigner (an uncle) to take up an agreed portion of real estate that covers the loan heaven forbid shit hits the fan that i default. We had to do all this to show the cosigner funding wasn't an issue considering he was pretty much putting his financial neck in the noose.

Thank you very much. You have answered everything I want to know about it.

Mandem101:
baba are u still familiar with Naija passport renewal expedited procedure in NYC lately?

Hello. I can see you got a student loan for your studies. I just want to know the format and content of the indemnity from your sponsor. I will appreciate this

Good day everyone, please can someone tell me what I can do because am trying to book a visa appointment by myself and the image below is what pop up. The agent I used before my details is still attached to his profile should I cancel it or confirm as stated below.

Thanks

Confirm transfer. Your profile will be updated which you can edit if you want to

Gabbybanks:
No. Is there a way I can facilitate hat?

When you get to the school you will be enlightened more. Congratulations to you bro

xdamson:
Ok, the reason why I asked is because your SOA should also cover your tuition and living expense even if you have funding from school without breaking the back of your sponsor. They know it’s possible to lose your funding or have a medical attention which can be very expensive in the US. Sometimes the vo may need assurance that in the event something like that happens, you will still be fine.

But since you have a loan, it doesn’t apply to you.

I’ll advise you refire and ask God for help

Could you please look into my proposed transcript that I dropped last night as advised by someone

xdamson:
Hi, I’ve perused your transcript and I can’t see anything wrong other than your one word answers. Kindly share the details of your funding, prodigy loan and available balance of the bank statement

Do you advise that I go to Abuja for my next interview?. I see you were approved at Abuja embassy after your previous denial.

xdamson:
Hi, I’ve perused your transcript and I can’t see anything wrong other than your one word answers. Kindly share the details of your funding, prodigy loan and available balance of the bank statement

No documents were requested from me. The bank statement is just 7.5million naira and the loan covers 80% of the total cost of attendance.

House,pls can I still get a space for Dec,if I apply online on Monday.....
Kindly assist me oooo

Yes you will get one if you have not been refused before
