This does not include the pending real estate bubble and fact that China now has more debt per GDP than the US.

Haba why the attack?

He made the right call as he would have to had to relinquish his 2 other titles at a different weight to keep this 1. The article makes it out as it is because of the 200k but it's not.

Besides they already had Tim Bradley as the interim champion so he can be upgraded to full champion and Mayweather keeps his 2 other belts and 49-0 record. Everyone wins.

Travel › Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 7 by ttmacoy: 1:58pm On Jul 05, 2015

Applications to change from B-2 status to F-1 status are given special attention by INS. Therefore, there are several things prospective students can do to minimize the risk of their application being denied:
Courts have found that enrolling in school or applying for a change in status only a short time after entry to the United States may demonstrate an individual's preconceived intent to be a student and that the individual did not, in fact, truthfully enter the country as a visitor. If USCIS believe this to be the case, an application to change status will be denied. To protect against this happening, even if a student changes his/her mind shortly after entering the U.S. DO NOT enroll in a school or apply to change status too quickly after entering the U.S. At most, enroll in school only part-time, and delay an application to change status until only a few weeks before the visitor's visa expires.
If the USCIS believes that an applicant's intention to study arose after entry in B-2 status, it will usually approve a change from B-2 to F-1. However, if USCIS has any doubt, it will often request further evidence, either from the student or from the school, as to the dates the student first contacted the school, applied to the school, and was accepted to the school, to determine whether a preconceived intent to study existed. Individuals who enter the United States in B-2 status and who have either already applied to schools or are carrying school records with them and applying for a status change shortly after entry will be denied a change to F-1 status.
A person who has a "prospective student" endorsement or annotation on his/her B-2 visa should routinely be able to obtain a change to F-1 status. If an individual planning to visit the United States thinks there is any chance he/she might want to attend school in the U.S., when applying for a Visitor's visa a "prospective student" endorsement should be requested. This would be noted directly on the visa, so that if the individual does apply for a change in status there is little chance that Immigration might deny the request . . . at least, not for "preconceived intent" to attend school.

DeeTus:
Yes because certificates are not classified illegal exhibits unless if they are fake.

Second, on a tourist visa, she has the human rights to sight-see and go to a school, get admission with her credentials and return home to apply for an F1 visa.

Aside what Bigfrancis said, let me tell you the honest truth, she may not get a non-immigrant visa anymore due to this record and it really sucks.

No VO would be at ease to approve her non-immigrant visa probably out of "crowded intent". Believe me because her intent to return home after an intended trip has been jeopardized.

Doesn't that depend on what she claims she is going to do in the US?

You do know you can be issued a prospective students B1 visa if you made it clear you are going to the US to check out potential schools.

I don't think she has a case because immigration would have cancelled her visa based on the conviction she isn't going got holidays and rather has the objective of converting to F1 status or even use the certificates to work illegally. This can easily be ascertained by not being able to clearly explain what tourist things she is going to do or her story not supported with what is in her suitcase etc.

Yeah employment based and spouse of US citizen are the quickest categories, followed by spouse of green card holders, then other families etc. brother/sister of US citizen is the last category hence why it takes so long.

Whilst the green card wait for employment based isn't that long, getting to the point of being able to apply takes a while as well i.e. you would at least have worked for a few years on work permit (H1/L1) before the company sponsors you for green card etc.

I agree with you that establishing a business when you have expertise is a good option if you have good ideas and the passion.

What I am against is this mantra of telling all the youth to go set up a business. No experience, no expertise nothing. Most successful businesses are set up to make a difference, or based on a passion and not just for survival or for money.

I also maintain you can be rich and successful if your skillset is in building and managing businesses rather than being an entrepreneur. You need to recognize your strength and skillset.

You mention Eko hospitals as an example. Dr Eneli qualified as a doctor in 1964 and didn't set up Eko hospitals until 1982. That's many solid years of experience which not only gives you the maturity and knowledge to manage the business, but also gives credibility when you nee to raise funds. It also means he would have a lot more contacts compared to a graduate hence my point why this mantra of telling everyone to set up a business especially as they finish school is wrong.

Now its all about money, and quick mentality. I knew Tayo Aderinokun of blessed memory and I remember he spoke about when they started GTBank. They had a vision of building an organization that would outlive them. We no longer have such visions anymore and it's all about quick bucks. Just do business to make money. Such businesses do not last and will not make an impact.

I am not saying being an entrepreneur isn't good, all I am saying is there are different roles to be played and you need to understand your strengths and where you can make the most impact rather than following a band wagon of setting up business just because that us the latest thing to do.

elohorayodele:
Good we both agree with each other now that we understand our points.
No matter your profession or level of professionalism, establishing a biz/consultancy even if its by the side and you are still in paid employment will increase your income and help the nation's teeming unemployed (more jobs will be created) We need scientists, we need researchers, we need doctors, we need public policy experts, we need engineers to work 8-6, we also need them to be entrepreneurs.
For example how many doctor under employment earns under any govt/private hospital in Nigeria earns a higher income than the Drs who put together EKO hospital? Read the history below

Eko Hospital Limited was itself a successor to Mercy Specialist Clinic, which had operated successfully between 1977 and 1982. the practice has been growing in bounds due to the total commitment and dedication of the partners and staff and the high level of reputation and customer goodwill enjoyed. With a four storey (40 bed capacity clinic situated at Ebute-Meta, Lagos in 1977, the company has grown into a multi-service and multi-location hospital with operations in Ikeja, Ikoyi, Central Lagos, Surulere, etc. to cover the entire Lagos area.

The EKPOCORP PLC, an acronym of the first letters of the founder’s surnames in alphabetical order i.e. “E” for ENELI, (Dr. A.C Eneli, deceased), “K” for KUKU (Dr. S.F. Kuku) and “O” for OBIORA (Mr. A.A.A Obiora) is a successor to Eko Hospital limited established in 1982 as a Joint Medical Practice patterned after both a teaching hospital as a Medical Center.
In 1988, a Management Agreement was signed between Eko Hospital, Ikeja Ltd. And the Eko Hospital Limited whereby Eko Hospital Limited, was to manage Eko Hospital Limited. In 1988 the management agreement culminated into the sales of all assets and liabilities of Eko Hospital Ikeja to Eko Hospital Limited. In compliance with the Companied and Allied Matter Decree 1990, the company by a special resolution passed in 1991 was re-registered as a Public Limited Liability Company (PLC), by a Board resolution in 1994 and approved at the Annual General Meeting; the Eko Hospital Plc was changed to Ekocorp Plc.

The Hospital has grown in leaps and bounds within twenty-five years. Today’s, there are two full-fledged hospitals located at Ikeja & Surulere in Lagos. The ikeja facility is a private teaching hospital of 130 beds and state of the art equipment. It is a tertiary institution with a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic equipments. The Surulere hospital is a 40 bed Secondary healthcare facility. A third hospital is currently under construction at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. A diagnostic centre and Clinic is operational in Ikoyi of Lagos.

Your last post sheds more light on where you are coming from and i agree that with the way things are in Nigeria now, there is a lot more working against the youth as they struggle to get on the career ladder and work their way up.

There definitely are companies which would offer stock options in Nigeria but i agree not that many. Many of the senior execs in Nigeria will have stock options as that is an effective way to align the interests of the executive with the shareholders.

I still maintain though that we need more than businesses in Nigeria for development. We need scientists, we need researchers, we need doctors, we need public policy experts, we need engineers, we need transportation experts, etc all dedicated to their chosen profession and we also need entrepreneurs and business managers. We need them all and cannot keep preaching for everyone to be an entrepreneur irrespective of their strengths or passion.

you are right, they are all successful. But what coy in Nigeria(Africa) will offer you stock options to get to this level? He didn't school in Africa and speaks german and french.Now let's bring it home, in Nigeria which billionaire is not an entrepreneur?

If you want to be like Thidjane: how many languages can you speak, in what and where were you educated?

Thidjane was born with a silver spoon (Thiam was born in Côte d'Ivoire. He is a descendant of two prominent families from Senegal and Cote d'Ivoire. On his mother’s side, he is a descendant of Yamousso, after whom the capital of Côte d'Ivoire, Yamoussoukro, is named. Thiam's mother, Marietou, was the niece of Félix Houphouët-Boigny, the founder and first President of Côte d'Ivoire.[7]

His father, Amadou Thiam, a journalist, was born in Senegal and emigrated to Côte d'Ivoire in 1947. He supported Houphouet-Boigny in his fight for the independence of the country and served more than 10 years in the Ivorian cabinet after independence. He was a Grand Officier de la Legion d’honneur, France’s highest order of decoration.[8] Tidjane’s uncle, Habib Thiam, was Prime Minister of Senegal for more than 10 years and also served as President of the National Assembly.

In 1982 Thiam was the first Ivorian to pass the entrance examination to the École Polytechnique in Paris. In 1984, he graduated from the École Polytechnique and in 1986 from the École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris where he was top of his class)

Are you saying the likes of Marissa or thidjane are not successful? Or is the mark of success making it to the top 100 list huh

Yes they are paid in stock because they are executive level and they started as employers and worked up to achieve that so they are rich through employment. The stock forms part of their compensation from their employer doesn't it?

I don't get what you mean about Thidjane. We are in July now so he is already CEO. Thidjane worked with Mckinsey before being appointed minister so he started as an employer and it was the skills and experience he built there that enabled him to be minister and eventually head prudential and now credit Suisse. He may not be on top 100 richest list but he is damn successful and a role model to me.

That is only in the tech world.

Close to home Thidjane Thiam from Ivory Coast is current CEO of credit Suisse, and while he may not be top 100 richest list he is very well to do.

Please stop deceiving yourself you must be an entrepreneur to make it in life.

Also you do know many people just want to be able to live good lives and provide for their families, have opportunities etc and are not aiming for top 100 richest list?

There are people who are good entrepreneurs e.g. Richard Branson but who are poor at building those ideas to successful corporations which create more wealth for others. That's where successful business people come in to partner with the entrepreneurs. There is a place for everyone.

Let's take nairaland and facebook for example. Partnering with good business minded people is what makes the difference between the likes of facebook which has grown exponentially, coming up with new products every day and created over 1000 millionaires when it went public to nairaland which started about same time as facebook and whilst Seun may be doing well for himself finacially, there is a lot more scope to make an impact.

You are not enjoying any good governance please. You are the top suppliers to India because Nigeria due to desperation from falling government revenue (to the extent they have to borrow to pay sakaries) is selling oil at discounts and offering credit concessions just to sell oil and get some revenue.

That's not good governance. The likes of KSA are not that desperate because they invested and saved a lot during the boom years and can withstand the drop in revenue. Nigeria simply cannot and is desperately trying to gain market share.

Has nothing to do with baba and everything to do with Nigeria heavily discounting the price of their crude oil just to gain market share.

There are a lot of countries producing oil now and the only competitive advantage comes from selling cheap. Nigeria misused the oil boom of the past few years to properly invest in the country and are now running helter-skelter selling oil for cheap.

Oil prices have dropped for Nigeria’s premium over Brent in recent months, which have made the former more attractive to importers. Over the weekend, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation reduced the prices of Nigeria’s crude oil grades to their lowest in over a decade as the West African nation fights for international market share.

Not only are we selling for cheap, but we have to give credit concession as it is a buyers market.

Owing to the frantic competition for Asian buyers, India, THISDAY learnt, has taken the unusual step of asking Nigeria to offer it a 90-day credit line if it must continue to buy her crude oil.

BashirAhmad1:
All this happening even before Baba appoint his cabinets, really there are bright future ahead. I see Nigeria taking over everything from other countries.

Danger here is the revenue shared is not enough to save after recurring expenses or even spend on capital expenditure.

Certainly working in Nigeria is more beneficial financially than in the US because of tax. I am happy that your mind is in the E&P company. Please note however that activities are however at its lowest ebb because of the oil price and impact of the management in the past few years. It will seems to me that you are a young graduate, I will therefore suggest if you can secure a job with Exxon/Chevron or any other upstream company in US and be transferred to Nigeria. Better as an expat staff but even as local you are better off.
