Strange… this is the US CBP note on the 6-month validity… Nigeria is on the exempt list. Either way, OP clearly needs to have a new passport.

PLEASE NOTE: You can only use your old passport to book an appointment and must be 100% sure d new one will be ready before your interview date (very risky). If your interview date comes before the new passport is ready, YOU CAN'T go to the embassy with a passport that does not have at least 6months to expiration.
Oh okay, I guess it's better to wait for the new ONE

All caps = shouting.

Yes, you can apply for a visa with your old passport since it would still be valid at the time of your interview.
THANK YOU, SIR, THAT MEANS I WILL HAVE TWO VALID PASSPORT WITH ME WHEN TRAVELLING ?

Hey bro I know you came in peace but some unknown gunmen / zombies are trying to shoot at any comment, but don’t worry they will soon get tired.
To your question, Welcome to reality of the hustle
But try to avoid areas with bad roads, try not to drive in heavy rain cos of flooded areas and have your kazeem check your car.
But d important thing to note is that the hustle have ups and down side. That’s why dashboard is not a true reflection of your earnings.
Imagine your situation, if you have 100k on your dashboard and spend 90k on repairs, at d end of the month your dashboard and bank account is like north & south. But nobody will tell you that, so it’s good you are experiencing it. However you won’t repair every week.
Just continue to be strong and prayerful... the hustle is for the strong hearted.

Nobody is coming in peace right now cos of unknown gunmen.

Thank you sir...my mechanic confirm to me that it's fine and I am good to go after all round check ...thanks sir

CheerfulGiver:
The negative people have gotten to you. Imagine believing that you'll use 90% of earnings to fix car after a week.

As you've asked a simple question, they'll never reply you. The only reply you'll probably get is "Lagos touts, lastma, police, one way" More negative shit_ to pull you down... Do as I say not as I do. Set awon " I made 19k today but I would have made 50k if I wanted to, but what do I need 50k for when 10k can solve my problems "... They want you in that 10k level, so if you push harder cos you dream bigger than them, they'll attack.

Just say you have a car that hasn't taken 10 percent of your earnings in 3 months and see them crawling out of the shadows to call you a liar and ask you to post proof. Harbingers of negativity. Avoid them

No car takes 90% of earnings in a whole year talk less of a week. What works for me is changing a defective part instead of fixing. If you fix, there are higher chances of it going bad again, so just replace it. Don't manage parts on a vehicle that makes you money.

My car is long distance journey ready 24/7. Good maintenance culture. That's all you need. Too many airheads here. Ability to drive a car doesn't count for experience in other issues surrounding a car or driving a car for business purposes.
thNk you, I love this....I WORK 10AM TILL 8PM...SOMETIMES, 7PM....MAX OF 9TRIPS..MINIMUM OF 4-6 TRIPS IN ONE Day

Maybe the car is not sound enough for the hustle or you're not making enough money. You shouldn't be using 90% of your earnings to fix the car

The meme I use was not necessary ... So I apologize for that......

The answer for your questions is in the message.. Read between the line
Thank you so much,
I actually got it from the US.
i don't think there is any fault or leakage though, I may ask my mechanic to check. my mechanic used last , he just told me he used mobile 5w30. I actually want to switch to something I can always get around and affordable and above all good for my candy 04

rehearse your statement of purpose. Also, try to come up with a coherent research proposal with good research questions, and most importantly a research area that is virgin and suits the project of the faculty members. Lastly, study the overview of the intending course, why the USA and that particular school, and write out questions you will also ask them at the end.
Thank you so much, sir, I have done the interview and it was fine. i had one Nigerian professor and a white professor...I will score myself a little above average.
