Man you guys are weird. Sam Milla all that story for nothin? She is a Nigerian woman for crying out loud- she is quite used to being abused, slapped and kicked around- all you had to do was say sorry instead of writing a bloody thesis

What is going on here?

Is this an ode to a chick?

Wow guys! It's nice to see how much information have been shared in this since I've been gone. I've learnt a lot more. Well, I'm back for Fall admission. All thanks to the player hater that denied me visa after asking silly questions relating to my current job; it not being an oil company, my choice of school, if I had travelled out before (I've not) and who my sponsor was; him being an uncle that doesn't bear my surname. These questions I had answered honestly and satisfactorily in my own opinion. The guy no know the current job situation for 9ja? I just dey vex

Interesting your case is a good example of what one should not do in a visa interview. From past experience with the American Embassy,

1) If you haven't traveled before then visa would be harder
2) If your sponsor isn't your father/mother/company but a relative then you will need a miracle then to get the visa.
3) The guy doesn't need to know the job situation in Nigeria, all he is interested in is making sure you don't plan to work in the US to pay your fees.
4) The fact that you don't work in an oil company when you are probably doing chemical engineering is another bad marker especially if you plan to do a masters. You have to be able to convince the Embassy that you would be coming back to Nigeria even if this is not the case. If you had a job in an oil company for example, you could tell them that after my masters, I would reapply for a better position within the oil company, but since you don't even have a job in oil, they are not convinced you know what you are doing.

Infact these are not silly questions and pretty standard. If I was interviewing you, those 4 questions already marked you down as someone not likely to come back to Nigeria and who possesses insufficient funds and might be planning to work in the US to pay your fees.

[quote author=bk_baybe99 link=topic=384473.msg5350467#msg5350467 date=1263941171]Okay, I've heard many stereotypes concerning Nigerians or they various tribal groups. Some of them have sounded surreal, some insane or simply untrue, while some have just been outright funny, but this one that forms the basis of today's topic really takes the cake! This weekend, the usual gang gathered again, and wut started off as a 3way call, led to everyone coming ova to my crib just tryn to prove they point! We couldn't even watch the game in peace becus of all the yelling and insults that was going back and forth. At a point I was shook that fists might start flying and the cops might be called. Well, the argument was that it was common for Yoruba men to sleep with others' wives. The insinuation was that they (Yoruba men) find some kinda thrill in this. As usual, as soon as this argument started I whipped out my pen and pad jotting down names, asking for correct spellings ect so that I could duly,dilligently, and accurately brief my fellow nairalanders! During the argument, two names/incidents kept coming up: a politician named M.O.K Abiola. This politician was said to have slept with all his boys' wives and gettin them pregnant just cus he had more money than them. He was even said to have slept with a kings wife and got her pregnant! It is said that when the military took over Nigeria, Abiola was jailed and then his own friends (all yorubas) slept with his wives thereby reciprocating wit the laws of karma. The second incident that was used as an example was that the immediate past president of Nigeria (obasanjo) was fuxcking his son's daughter!!! I have read this somewhere on Nairaland and the funny,and surprising thing, is that the Daughter-in-law hasn't denied the allegations not even once! There are numerous incidents here in NY of homes being broken because of extramarital affairs, and to be honest, the ones that usually involve a married couple sleeping with each other are usually committed by the Yorubas (this is not to say we don't hear isolated incidents of such being committed by members of other tribes)! An ibo friend that got in the argument, and tried to castigate the Yorubas, was reminded that when he (the ibo) was extradited to the United States from Europe to serve time in prison on some securities fraud issue, his childhood friend (an ibo like himself) got his wife pregnant and she had two kids by him! This is a wife that already had a child by him already. This personal revelation set off the fireworks and fisticuffs almost started flying! So, my question today is: which tribe is known to easily, and without conscience, sleep with women knowing fully well that they married?![/quote]This guy is crazy

Consultant:
The GRE verbal is essentially a test of your grammar. Get the Barrons or Kaplan word list and memorize as many words as possible. You can also try using flashcards since you have such a short prep time. Kaplan also has an Advanced Verbal book that you can buy, it is supposed to help you score 800 on the GRE.

To be sincere I really doubt most people here need an 800 since most would be doing engineering. Except if someone wants to do a PhD in the humanities

chamotex:
Yes, broke but responsible

Hmm not papa ajasco

^weirdo is back

Pweety4me:
So wat then r u doing wif Fl Ginger? shuor!"AIRHEAD". . .

Don't compare my alligator to you girls. My Fl Gator is classy, beautiful, well-educated, soft-spoken and polite, amiable and the list goes on. Technically everything you are not

I don't do Nigerian girls

FL Gators:
[color=teal]Predictable! [/color]

What did you predict? You are reminding me of all those Nigerian pastors in churches who give funny predictions like "Someone's life is changing"

By the way mama-gee what other shape of head should we have? Which shape of head is better or the norm? From experience, 100% of humans have fruit-shaped heads

Just because mama-gee has a different head shape than the norm doesn't give her the right to insult us. A monkey would call the human shape ugly if it was rational because its different.

Nothing here is really funny. To be fair, mama-gee, sauron and snowdrops are just blowing hot air (To take a quote from the sagacious TheAmaka)

[quote author=mama-gee link=topic=383831.msg5343579#msg5343579 date=1263852793]Okay, I have a feeling is your mother whose head is shaped like a 2 by 4 plywood.[/quote][quote author=mama-gee link=topic=383831.msg5343573#msg5343573 date=1263852728]No mind the pillow head shaped guy, he's trying to be funny. [/quote]And these are funny? Hmm funny what goes for funny in childish debates.

Anyways as I said why are all the guys worried? We have pineapple/whatever head but as long as it doesn't stop us from getting babes then no need to worry about it.

FL Gators:
[color=teal]You should add "potbelly men" to that, seeing that we're dealing with Nigerian men [/color]

FL Gator you are instigating , hmm I pity you all. I am trying to change my ways and you guys are tempting me.

[quote author=mama-gee link=topic=381770.msg5343348#msg5343348 date=1263850747]My guy I didn't even say anything much and you are already hyperventilating
It's either you know that you're ugly or you're just hot tempered, Which one?[/quote]Whichever one you want pick, i really dont care Why would the opinion of a poor/middle-class black girl from the middle of nowhere have an effect on my life?

[quote author=mama-gee link=topic=381770.msg5343286#msg5343286 date=1263850019]And your appearance is describable. [/quote]You are neither witty or intelligent

Abeg leave my appearance alone. Lots of girls like it, if you don't I no go die

millco88:
Naija men and women were made for each other. The perfect match to scwabble in their own messes.

Well I dont know about that. I have never dated a Nigerian girl so I can't tell how compatible with each other

Boring, if you really want to flame do so with common sense-  

You know Nigerian women have more faults, and I could do the same thing you are doing except with better denigrating examples



Go and get a job, you are getting boring

This girl looks local and unattractive

I am sure she is not up to the level of my angel FL Gator

My Gators beauty is indescribable

Barron GRE like 2005-2006 edition or something like that.Its a book so I cannot technically send it to you by email.

I did Ok with that book. High 1400s and such with a very good analytical score

I used only one book and I did very Ok

What is the purpose of this question?
