You probably have never been at the top rung of the corperate world! You probably have not been under a choleric Boss. You probably don't know the corperate world leadership circle sometimes employ harsh rhetoric and tactic to get in to people's head to get the job done and deliver expected result! Yet, men of calmness climb the rung and reach the top!

If you don't want to accept some sort of embarrassment, insults, or arrogance--in the process of pursuing and attaining your dreams--you cannot attain those dreams and be successful. Do you know the VO would have been more enraged and then issue refusal if the student had reacted negatively or said something awful in return to the "shut up"? But he was calm and took the "shut up" as though, "well, I have been told something more bad before now. It is fine!" This is what it means to be psychologically calm in the midst of a system that is set up to catch visa applicant with intention to migrate to the US!

Life is not about what we deserve, for if we did not create ourselves, we deserve nothing! Life is about what we want and what you want to give, and your attitude to the challenges you'll face in getting and giving those things.
I think it's banks that majorly do this, there's a difference between being blunt, giving corrections, being harsh and actually insulting a person in a corporate environment. Insults can get you fired in a corporate environment.

Wait!

The VO actually told you to Shut Up?
I was shocked too when I read it, multiple shut ups and bossy, harsh, loud, angry and authoritative attitude. Boy! I'd tell the VO politely that she messed up o.


AgreatMan:
Actually, there are different ways to say "shut up." Besides that, there is cultural difference. Telling a foreigner to shut up and telling a Nigerian to shut will generate two very different reactions.

On top of it, I read the transcript, it seems he deserved the shut ups. There was some "shut up," there was also some "listen to me."

But it all doesn't matter now, baba don collect Visa.
Na wa o, shut ups harshly told are deserved in an interview?

Some of you are very wicked, you hang someone's cash for 2 months plus and all you can do is make light jokes out of it.

It doesn't matter if you didn't intentionally sell him a bad phone, whatvis most important is what you plan to do about the situation. How do you intend to remedy it? What steps have you and are you taking?

Making light of the whole situation and being supported by your goons here is just distasteful
Honestly, it's appalling.

You didn't intend to sell a bad phone but you sold a defective phone. The next line of action should be on how to sort the issue out. In this case even the picker should be liable, a faulty screen should be detectable (I think).

That's the problem, day dreaming. Talking about vessel of 300million, when you should be talking about buying another corolla. Now I see where you guys keep losing focus.

Na with shining teeth them take they do real estate

You will continue to loose focus. Acknowledge ur present situation and face life step by step.
Going by this your logic, you shouldn't have switched to uber. You should have just bought another pon-pon and trowel to give to another person to start work and be collecting rentage money.

Sometimes in January, I got ePlanet to get me an iPhone 7plus as a Dealhunter and he offered me one for 140k and he told me to make payment to Lionlee which I did on January 15. I was new to all this then but I asked on the thread and I think two people vouched for him. But he kept on stalling with the deal bringing up one excuse after the other and I eventually got another deal from another Dealhunter. I was still waiting for him to come thru on the deal but he always had an excuse.

Then in feb,I told him i wanted him to get me two iPhone 7 instead and he said I will have to add additional 20k and I make the payment on feb 21.
Then he got me one iPhone 7. He assured me i will get the second device soon. But since then, he has been giving different excuses for not getting the phone so I decided to call off the deal and get a refund on the 9th of April.
He said he will make arrangements and forward my balance to me. He said he is on an island and the network is bad there and that he can’t risk doing the transfer from there. I told him I can’t keep waiting indefinitely for him so he should give me a date to pay up. He promised 7th of May and since then till now, there is no word of him.
He hasn’t replied my messages on whatsapp and he didn’t reach out to me.
Just decided to put this out here after exercising a lot of patience to settle this amicably.
Let's wait for his side of the story. That's how one 'so called' deal hunter still dey owe me 5k. Him want make I dey pursue around since March.

bracelum:
You did not clearly state your question but I'm guessing you are worried about the change of degree based on the "but" statement you used.

Let me give you my 2 cents.

There is absolutely no problems with doing a masters degree that is different from your undergrad. In fact, this is one area I applaud the US educational system because it has a high degree of flexibility. For instance, a lot of Indians that study MS in Computer Science had their undergrads in Engineering or Information Technology. A lot of Chinese students that study MS in Statistics had their undergrads in Economics.

I have even seen BS in Architecture to MS in Computer Science and BS in Psychology to MS in Computer Science too.

So, I see no problems with you choosing a master's degree different from your undergrad.

However, try to make a connection from your undergrad to your work experience and to your master's degree so that the VO will know you are a legit student.

But generally, I don't think you have a problem at all.
Any idea if these guys you talk about got graduate assistantship?

Guys I think this chisom case is really becoming petty, if chisom sneeze small everyone wants a pound of flesh, we all make mistakes. If you don’t want to deal with Chisomk9 again please stop picking up for him not everytime chisom this chisom that.
The way you guys are handling this chisom matter feels more like a common hate for the guy and not for his misdeeds.
You sef Chisomk9 use your head, you don’t have to let issues drag till you are being called out before you start giving an explanation, the pattern is getting boring.

You are wondering where all your brothers in arms went to? Considering you seem to be a lone soldier here... grin


I sleep, listen to music. I look woke, but I am a conservative. Clubbing and so many things like that isn't my thing, though I have been there (including strip clubs) out of curiosity.

Party on Sunday? I won't come. The only thing on mind is how to sleep against Monday.
Yep, before clicking on the thread I was hoping to see posts decimating the points raised by the OP only to discover that I and one other person are the party hearty on the thread angry.

You're among the sleep crew too? There are a few things as sweet as a good sleep especially when the weather is in your favour.
Definitely not conservative on NL grin. All ye curious people, don't let the fate of the cat befall you all cheesy. I haven't been to a strip club though. No outdoor activities?

I could party till 4am, sleep and still meet up for appointments by 6am, not in Lagos though. Lagos traffic is a killjoy.
