Romance / Re: How I Got Saved From Masturbation. by RetroBoy: 6:51pm On Mar 31, 2016 |
There's something called PORN-INDUCED ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. Chronic masturbation and porn desensitizes your brain to arousal from a female, resulting in a flaccid joystick. You're going to need a long time to reboot and allow your desensitized dopamine receptors to re-accumulate. it takes time, but it works |

OP, you're a liar from Hades. Trump is all about making America great again, and could care less about happenings in Africa or Nigeria. Your fake article is too detailed to have been from Trump, whose foreign policy is zero, at best. Stop peddling lies, for whatever reason. it is cowardly to rail against someone through falsehood. You and your link are as fake as Donald Trump's hair. 1 Like |

1. Do not leave your old clothes behind in Nigeria. You'll spend less on clothes. . 2. Aso ebi and native attire are more expensive over there. Take ur Naija ones along. 3. Adapters, like op said, are different. Enuff said. 2 Likes 1 Share |

daret002:They won't, actually. They'll ask though, and you'll fill out a form to that effect before landing. It is your prerogative to convince them you will stay within a tight budget during your stay |

askari01:Thanks. I am actually lodging money into the account, spread over a month. I want to write a professional exam (PLAB) in June, and the money is actually for the exam, not for just obtaining the visa. the exam is written only in June, else I' d have waited for some time before applying. The paucity of funds in the account is due to the fact that I traveled to the US last October to write another exam (USMLE) |
Travel / Re: USA Travel Port Of Entry Issues...comment by RetroBoy: 9:23am On Mar 11, 2016 |
daret002:I traveled to the US last October. However, at my visa interview in june I told the VO I planned to travel in July. She also asked me about who I was going to stay with, what he did, etc. At the POE in Atlanta, CBP agents grilled me for an hour on why I didn't travel in June, and they also vetted EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION I SUPPLIED at my interview 4 months earlier before I was allowed into the US. 1. Do not alter your story as much as possible at the POE. A visa technically is A REQUEST FOR PERMISSION to enter a country, not an automatic gateway. ICE and CBP agents can still turn you back at the POE if they're not satisfied after conducting their own interview. 2.. Have at least $1000 as money you intend to spend during your visit, especially for a B2 tourist visa, as they do not believe you're serious about your intention if you have anything less. |

Okijajuju1:People at high risk of HIV/AIDS include M2M (men who have sex with men) , a politically correct term. Infact, AIDS was initially known as the 'gay disease'. AIDS-defining complex is a wide-ranging spectrum of diseases seen almost exclusively in people with AIDS. They're frequently susceptible to different and rare cancers. Anal cancer may or may not occur in people with AIDS, but anal sex per se doesn't result in anal cancer. |

Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by RetroBoy: 12:09am On Feb 27, 2016 |
I am applying for a visa to write an exam in 2 weeks time. I have all the necessary supporting documents. I have however had to raise money from friends and family(various sources) to fund the trip. Do I need some official documentation, apart from my bank statements, to prove the identity of those who sent money to me? In other words, do I need official proof from my benefactors as per the lodgement in my account? I have had money deposited in my account over a week and I am applying a month later, which is 3 months away from the test. The money is really for the exam and other expenses and not only for the purpose of getting a visa. Do I have to explain this apparent transfer to the ECO (NB...I work with a state government agency and have only been paid up till October, hence the paucity of money in my account prior to booking for the exam). Helpful answers will be appreciated justwise, FrontPageLawyer and other seasoned contributors, your opinions and advice will be welcome Thanks |

Solitin40:Getting to Ibadan, find your way to CUSTOMS on Bodija-Secretariat Road. Check-Inn is adjacent to the MTN district office. .you can't miss it Get there at least an hour before the test. Your biometrics will be taken before you go in for the interview, which lasts for about 5 minutes Don't be nervous or apprehensive. ..be natural. Don't answer questions with 'yes' or' no'' ...expand and KEEP ON TALKING UNTIL YOU'RE STOPPED. The examiner really just wants to find out if you can understand and converse in English to a satisfactory level. Answer the questions asked and don't go off-topic. Feel free to be creative and imaginative while talking. ..ot makes the interview less boring, and the examiner is likely to give you better marks. The speaking test is divided into 3 parts.. part 1-Examiner asks you personal questions: name, schooling/studies, home, growing up, hobbies, work, etc. Try to practice over these areas, as they'll surely come up. When asked about hobbies, for example, it is not enough to say 'football' and stop. Explain why you like football, how often you play it, your favorite teams, etc UNTIL YOU'RE STOPPED. Part 2-A topic is given to you to talk about for about 2 minutes. Uou have a minute to jot notes on what to say...make use of this time and marshall your thoughts together. ..it is very easy to start and get stuck on the way. Again, keep on talking UNTIL YOU'RE STOPPED. Part 3 builds on 2 , but more abstract questions that require reasoning are asked. Give yourself a second or two to process the answer before speaking. ..always try ro answer the questions and not say something unconnected in a bid to keep talking. The examiner will think you don't understand English and mark you down. This part is generally fast as salvos of questions are fired at you. The test is over before you know it, and you leave the room. All the best Due to some Whatsapp issues, I'll answer any questions on tips on this thread. 3 Likes 1 Share |
