According to Femi312:

There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if
we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for
now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course
you want to study, To save you some stress start from this
website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So
step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools
using a) www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you
should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most
common courses, you can start from there
b) www.gradschools.com c) www.google.com (you can just type
'msc
in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org .
3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the
requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require
both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You
can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take
the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the
information you need about the exam on the website. You will get
adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I
createdhttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/

TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though,
some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone
country.
For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link
below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other
sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and
the simulation test.

AACXR5j6l3nsWK8vZx5P28TVa?dl=0
As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP
and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This
can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or
Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an
assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a
monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One
advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of
the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and
funding opportunities, be very explicit.
Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring
(Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its
advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall
2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before
ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My
philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to
regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good
for you.

@100kobo, thank you very much to your support all these while. You are a winner. I am grateful.

I have few challenges that I want the house to help me on. I have fallen a prey of agent before knowing about this platform.
This is my challenge, the agent that helped me to create my account did not realease the log in details. Though we filled the Ds160 form together but he refused to give me the log in details. I want to book another appointment ASAP and I want to leave him out the whole process because he has given my dad a wrong orientation that I should not reapply, that I should travel to Dubai or any other for me to have a travel experience before reapplying which I don’t buy. Is there away I can book another appointment and access my full details with my confirmation number. I feel positive about me reapplying

Sorry about your situation.... you are obviously a strong person

veneza:
kids are grown,my first kid is in sss1 and expenses are increasing,no good paying job and as for business, I don't live in a big city and business here is buy now and pay when I get because of the economy and over familiarity.
also I am the only child of my parent and my kids will be just fine.
just need a little secret of a place outside here were business strives.

500k per year...for how long will this continue? do you know how nigerias economy will be in 4years time...or even after 2019 election....young woman... see you better dont be too emotional towards that house youu built... u have to be realistic and think of welfare... what if federal govt succeed in increasing fed school uni fees to 300k... how will you pay your kids fees? what if God forbid someone in the family falls ill and needs big money to be treated how would you do it? my sister you ans your husband should hustle and pray... make good research and live nigeria.

dont let anyone tell you you cant make it outside and that nigeria is the easiest place to many money..... ask yourself how much have you made in 30years?


isnt it better to be making 300k permonth.... with good light... good roads... free healthcare..or healthcare paid with fixed monthly inaurance...where your kids can have good education...and esucation by loan at university level...that they will surely get a job with or without connect and pay back. ..

rest of mind increases life span.... truss me

dwilliams707:

Bros some first class are not typically an achievement especially those from private institutions. The real first class are those who graduated from a typical rigorus public institutions. A 2:1 and 2:2 holder from a public institution is better than a first class from all these private institutions in naija.

you better stop fooling yourself... is it nigerian publiv schools with their useless and rotten educational system that should be a standars for valuable education? with the thousands of graduates churned out yearly how many of them have been able to do anything close to even mark zuckerberg? ... ..


keep consoling yourself.... tell the school you are trying to apply to that your school sysytem was irrelevantly rigorous and thus you suffered....and you deserve an admission with granted full tuition and no gmat plus free accomodation and green card. olodo

homirefacuny:
Thanks boss

boss ke... am just a young person like you biko.... ..you have visa interview date already ...you senior me sef

homirefacuny:
Lol... Bros.
Did you get my question? I actually got a GTA offer that covers the full cost of tuition as stated. It is on my I20. But as usual, the VO would ask for my sponsor... So I am basically asking if mentioning my uncle and the GTA offer will sound cool to the VO.
Thanks Bros... Emi ni ori, Fila ni mo n wa baba mi

mention everything... its a plus......check past transcripts too for similar scenarios.... wish you all the best!!

homirefacuny:
Hi everyone.
I would like to know if mentioning that I got a GTA offer that covers the full cost of tuition is a good idea when the VO asks the question.. Who is your sponsor?

NB. IT'S MY UNCLE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT AND I HAVE A SOA TO THAT EFFECT.

what is itching your body that makes you want to lie? have you been going to your village frequently these days? or do you think its sewing machine that the consulars use for processing.... Go ahead with your story line bro... we will be waiting for the good news!

enito lori oni fila

thank you very much mr walspring .. may almighty God bless you in a million times for your goodness.... Thank you thank thank you

franchuks:
The exams are quite tasking and would put you on the edge especially if you have to come back to Nigeria. ICAN or ACCA would be required if you will return to Nigeria. CPA is advisable your desire is to remain in the US.
Your long term decision is it to make.

thank you vwry much for your advice.

ziondaughter247:
Wow ... this is so unfair. My friend wrote TOEFL on September 21 and applied via Mafit.. everything cost just 45k. these agents are very wicked and greedy

abi o...people are very wicked... what can i do... the shoe wearer doesnt mind...i will just be looking

please move to usa or canada.... 3million naira per year... chai...nigeria tho... please japaa and increase your lifespan and give your kids a better life...they will be thankfull everyday.... .. your wife will even earn more with the type of job she has in nigeria over there

GboyegaD:
No worries. If she insists she wants him to, influence his choice of school to one you can easily monitor him.

okay bro...i will ensure i try ny best! thanks alot

GboyegaD:
Please, don't just look oooo. Maybe you suggest one of the good private universities in Nigeria for undergraduate while he is well mentored about life as being far away from home and not mentally matured might not be so good and experience for him ooo.

exactly! maturity level is still low... ... i will tell her sha... i hope she listens... Thank you very much... Thank you!

GboyegaD:
You talk to your brother then if she feels he believes the agents can help.

that one is even worse... i want even twlling him about statement of purpose and school ranking he said he knows i shldnt bother.... he isnt a smart fellow like that... i dont even support them leaving him to go and do bsc alone... he needs so much monitoring and training in my opinion ... i will just be looking

GboyegaD:
Let her know there is a forum where young Nigerians with genuine study interest meet to discuss way forward on applications, scholarships, Visa processing etc and that you are active on the group as well. This should make her trust whatever you tell her about admission processing as agents are just out there to make their money and nothing more

bro i have told her oo..she even kniws of nairaland... she probably believes what those people have told her.... she is even saying the dumb boy wont answer can you imagine... i wont interfere anymore... i have sent her screenshots and have left her to it... shes the one that will keep running around hustling the money out

isnt this the foolish andy blaze who was always spamming nairaland with very useless posts around 2013/2014 ... he has found something to do with his life... praise God.... now i believe change can occur in nigeria
