Pickmycall:I am his intended target . His hobby is insulting people's father as most of his comments show. The likes and share for my last comment where I articulated my point respectfully shows a lot of folks here are not in support of his unruly and uncouth behavior. Just ignore him, I already did. |

DaddyYankee: I just skimmed through your profile and observed you always devolve to insulting people fathers when they have opposing views to yours, and often in bold fonts. FYI, I am not an illiterate. Check my profile to see the country I live and what I am doing there. Here is the meaning of overhype and how it was used in a sentence: Definition: make exaggerated claims about (a product, idea, or event); publicize or promote excessively: Example: "It would appear that the organizers overhyped the crowd size" Nothing suggests Brazil is overhyped. Like I said, you don't have to like them. They earned the respect they have today from the footballing world in almost a century (1930 till date). On a final note, quit insulting people. You never know who could be of help to you in life. I have met people via Nairaland and helped them and also have gotten help from people through the Travel section as well. Act like an Omoluabi! We do not insult strangers in Yoruba culture. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

Bossman5:And I guess it's easy to make it out of the group at the World Cup. Their 5 WC titles must have been because it is 'easier' to qualify from SA as they had saved up their energy for the WC, right? When Europeans belittle AFCON, you complain but here you are belittling the entire SA continent despite the rigors of their qualification format and lack of infrastructure like their European counterpart. 3 Likes |

DaddyYankee:So expecting Brazil, a country that has qualified for all the 22 WCs and made it through out of the group is a 'overhype'. You better learn the meaning of the English lexicon before using words carelessly. It's okay if you don't want Brazil to qualify, but putting them and Spain in the same bracket as 'overhyped' is sheer cynical. 20 Likes 7 Shares |

AyobamiIsaac12:We might never see a Black player play for them. They so hate your existence they wiped you off and chased your ancestors from their land. FYI Black people are aboriginals to South/Central America before the invasions of Europeans. Talking of a finisher like Mbappe, they already killed their Pele, Eusebio and Mbappes out of their wickedness and hate. To Messi fans who love Argentina than their countries, good luck hoping he wins the World Cup before he ends his career. 5 Likes |

Mbappe my small GOAT. I can't wait for Mbappe to win another World Cup! I pray FIFA makes it every 2 years so Mbappe will end his career with 4-5 WCs. At the end of Mbappe's career, you will decide who your GOAT is Pele won 3 out of 4 WCs. Mbappe might be more successful at international level and equal Pele's record. Why do I love Mbappe because he is African descent. Call me racist I don't care. 24 Likes |

MrNipplesLover: Abi o, and let other men too 'put their dick in her and let her born for them too...' Let them take turns to enjoy their lives with her in the nice apartment you used your money to rent for her, while she enjoys the sweetness of her life and your sweat. And let the daughters you have with her grow up to be just like her, so she and her stepbrothers and sister can make you proud and give you everlasting peace of mind. And at end, let her give you STD from other men that sleeps with her. At least she is not under any contractual agreement to not f**k other men since you 'cared' so much about her 'happiness' and her 'freedom'.

BiggyB242: You're right to some extent with the higher likelihood of funding for a PhD, but claiming the stipend on offer is high as $2500 is misleading. I will like you to state your source and disciplines that are paid that much. I'm a PhD student in a STEM field here in the USA and I can tell you the average stipend after tax is usually capped at $1600 maximum. 1 Like |

Time2win: Thank you for the clarification. My school mailed 2 forms along with my I-20 namely Immunization History and Health History forms. The immunization history form which requires the signature of a physician/nurse has been completed already at a Government Hospital. The compulsory immunization in the form are Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) as well as Meningitis for students that will be living in the University's Housing Units. Other recommended immunizations are DPT, Hesitation A&B Series, Polio and Chicken pox. The Yellow Fever vaccination was not mentioned in the form. Hence, my question about the need for it. 1 Like |

Hi everyone, I urgently need to know if yellow fever immunization is compulsory. I'm just hearing it's a new national policy and that it takes about 2 weeks to get it after paying the fee (2k naira) via remita. I'm resuming at University of Kansas in about 2 weeks time so I barely have enough time. I eagerly await responses. Thank you all. 2 Likes |

Here is the transcript of my visa interview at the General Consulate, Lagos yesterday. I was interviewed by a slim beautiful white lady at Window 2. She had denied the 2 guys before me and spent almost 7 minutes on each one throwing different questions at them. However, the male VO at Windows 3 was quite congenial and seemed to take less time before making his final decision. The lady he interviewed before it got to my turn had a fully funded offer like me to study PhD Environmental Engineering. I heard her saying she had her Msc in Environmental Engr from UI; I had planned to meet her but simply forgot after escaping the heat of the interview Her interview lasted about 3 minutes. I was praying for such luck given the way the VO I was to face was serious and kept asking loads of questions with denials. I can't recollect the exact sequence of the questions nor our whole conversation verbatim. Status: Approved! VO: Good Morning Me:Good Morning VO: Pass your passport and I-20. VO: What course are you going to study in the US? Me: I'm going for my PhD in Environmental Engineering and Water Resources at University of Kansas. VO: What will be your duty be as GRA? Me: I am expected to work 20hours/week on research projects that will lead towards to PhD degree. VO: What types of research will you be doing? Me: (My response was not great, probably because I wasn't expecting the question at that point). I will assist in collecting water sample and testing in the lab (she cuts in) VO: See, as a student I could test water samples in the lab. As a PhD student, what specific research projects will you be involved in? I can see you have a fully funded offer here as GRA (I was a slightly nonplussed at this point by her pointed response and directness) Me: I actually have a phone discussion later in the week with my supervisor where we would discuss the specific project I will work on. (She cuts in and said something like I still need a more convincing response from you. All the while she was typing fast). Me: At this point I regained my composure and said maybe I should give you a little background about my research experience. I actually did some research on wastewater treatment during my Master's program where I removed dyestuff from textile effluent using activated carbon. (She cuts in again and asked with some kind of smile what I did with wastewater) Me: I removed dyestuff from the textile wastewater using activated carbon. (She nodded her head like she was enjoying my gist). VO: How many schools did you apply to? Me: I applied to 6 schools altogether. North Carolina State University (She cuts in and asked where), Raleigh 'rally' I replied, (she shook her head in approval). It then occurred to me there is there another university named University of North Carolina Charlotte. I continued mentioning the schools: Michigan Tech, University of South Florida. (I almost went blank at this point before mentioning Temple University but she seemed to satisfied with the 3 I had mentioned so far). VO: How many of them offered you assistantship? Me: It was only University of Kansas and I was admitted by 3 and rejected by 3. VO: Did you write any standardized test? Me: Yes, I wrote GRE VO: And what did you score? Me: 315 (She rolled her eyes and seemed to be impressed by my scores). I scored 160 in Quants and 155 in Verbal. VO: Are you married? Me: No VO: Do you have any kid? Me: No VO: Are you planning to get married before leaving? Me: No I said with a smile on my face. VO: I'm asking to let you know you it's possible to file for her. VO: What do you plan to do with your degree? Me: My plan is to return to take up a lecturing job in my alma mata. I have tried to join the department after my Masters but I was told I needed to have a PhD preferably from outside the country. So I believe my chances of being absorbed after completing this degree would be bolstered. As I was about to finish the statement, she stood up from her seat and left for the direction to her left. At this point, I began to pray silently in my mind that the interview would not end with a pink paper. While I was nursing this thought, she just appeared with a white paper containing Education USA info and circled the pickup location for my passport. Then, she made the golden remark "I will be approving your visa bla bla bla..." Your document should be ready for pick-up in less than a week time. Me: Thank you and have a great day. VO: You're welcome and you too. She passed me my I-20 while she was saying this. Many thanks to everyone that helped in reviewing my transcript before the interview as well as everyone that has kept this thread alive. My advice to those appearing for interview soon is to prepare a transcript that would answer most of the questions VOs likely ask. For PhD students, be ready to answer questions about your research. For MSc applicants, try to answer the question on why you chose your school in a unique way that is tailored to your career goals and past/current work experience. Also, pray for be interviewed by a VO that's understanding and patient. 42 Likes 2 Shares |
