America is being decimated truly. If truly it's about security, there are still many other ways they can go about this without them queuing up for visa

This is simply the same as the ESTA process EU citizens have to go through to get into the US. Nothing new. I went through the same process to travel to South Korea last year... I got approved in minutes right there on my home computer.

And I am doing very well financially, I am spending more than 300k in my house with 30days

Zulum:
I am a public servant, working in an office from 8am to 5pm, so I don't think leaving her alone will be possible, and considering the environment and how thing are going here in the north....

Folks like you are why I left Nigeria... only in an unserious country will a public servant have enough money to spend N300,000/month. What public job pays you that much? In the north which contributes close to zero to the public purse?

Lanre1st:
So because they are Muslim/Arab they deserve to be destroyed. Slowpoke

They've been destroying themselves since time immemorial...

WriterNig:
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 👿

There is one thing common with all the countries you listed - muslim/arab.

May I not be a father who brings sorrow to his son. Many who call themselves "fathers" today are glorified sperm donors who feel entitled to anything their child owns. It is horrific for a father to sell his son's property simply because he is too lazy to take care of his own responsibilities. Everyone has kids today, without due diligence on how they intend to raise them.

Brother, shake the pain off. Your father has shown you how much he values you... learn the lesson and move on.

Kobojunkie:
All I read is you equate love with sex and your wife denying you sex means she has no love for you. And you somehow think the blame should all be on her as far as the problems you perceive in your marriage, no be so? **yawn***

You have a warped view of love. It is sacrifice… and part of that sacrifice includes not depriving your partner of your body, unless their are salient reasons why (schedule conflicts, illness etc.)… I have to give my wife credit. She’s a saint… she makes it a rule - never deny your partner sex even if she’s not in the mood. Let me go and give her a good gift… some men are really suffering.

shegzhkn:
Wow, taught you was in tech.

Lol I’m not a techie.

shegzhkn:
Where and what is ur concentration in naija and the ph.D ??

Environmental management / toxicology

VTJN:
congratulations for achieving this great feat. Would you advice someone to relocate to the US through study route? MSC or PhD which one is better? Is there job readily available after school or it's mainly based on one field/area of specialization? Thanks

Either MSc or phd is fine. There are jobs available but depending on your course of study, some majors are better than the other.

Brokeness:
Whether it's via scholarship, sponsorship, marriage, dependant visa, work visa, student visa

Kindly tell us how you were able to make the money you used to travel abroad. The job or business you did that helped you raise the money for your relocation.

Pls be sincere, as someone out there might be of benefit to the thread.


PS: Pls kindly stay off if you don't have something meaningful to contribute other than discouraging those that wants to relocate.

Got a full-ride fellowship to do a Ph.D. in the US. Got an industry job a few months before defending my thesis... and the rest is history.

Was 90% through my NYSC when the opportunity came. The cost was minimal - only needed ~N200,000 for a flight ticket + $1000 pocket money. I was paid a monthly stipend that took care of living expenses.

bodmas119:
wow!

If a plane flies at a low enough altitude, you can see the rain falling through your window.

bodmas119:
Please nairaland, I want to know if it's really true that rain dont fall on the plane that flies in the sky

It does.

luvethsam:
Good day everyone, I have been a silent reader and learner here for a while.
My interview was on Tuesday May 2nd and I just gathered myself to share my transcript and it went thus

VO: Good morning

Me: Good morning ma'am

VO: I see you're going for an MBA program....

[b]Me: yes I'm going for my MBA in xyz cus I was given promotion as Head of Operation that'll be leading my team on a new project but I need an Intl degree in project mgt before I could assume my new position

VO: who's going to pay for this

Me: my husband, [/b]he's a medical doctor and own a hospital here in Lagos with a staff strength of 28

VO: what do you do

Me: I work at Xyz as a risk analyst (didn't talk further cus she wasn't paying attention)

VO: are you married

Me: yes

VO: children?

Me: 2

VO: alright, thank you for your time unfortunately you're not qualified for this visa this time...

Please 🙏 I need your corrections please and where i can do mock interview cus I intend to reapply next week.
I also need your suggestions if asked why I was rejected last time

That's where you goofed. You outed yourself that you were not being truthful. Companies looking to promote employees to sensitive positions requiring additional training typically would sponsor that employee. In this case, your company seeks to promote you to a position but is not willing to pay for the added training required for that position? Does it mean the training is not relevant to your job then?

ourunivibes:
She knows i have ego mehn i ain't bending it anyhow. That's one thing that got her interested at first.

Your ego works in Nigeria, not the US.

If poverty had a photograph...

iamwoleolu:
So excited. We eventually got our PPR.
We had to make this video to help others see how we prepared for journey to Canada. Particularly, we documented the 9 days down countdown.

Nigerians and packing EVERYTHING... you can find knorr in the regular store. That said, nice family... hope you're all settled in your new home. Be blessed.

BrighterThanDay:
The truth is my husband is a good man. He chose me, I chose him, and we are happy together. Aside from the current financial issues and law problems we don't have any other problem.
He stood up for me countless times against his sister and asked her to leave me alone. But whenever he does this, the sister gets so mad and says I've come to scatter their family and she begins to report to elders, who now turn on my husband and ask him to draw his sister close as the father of the house after the demise of his father. If he doesn't oblige, he'll be totally isolated from the family, even if his mother is sick or God forbid dies, he won't be informed, nobody picks up his calls or when they answer they sound so cold. The worse part was when my daughter was born, aside my family, none of them congratulated him. This is what they use to get to him and it hurts him so bad, and he ends up blaming me. I hate seeing him in this mood and I'll always encourage him to go back to them. I'm sincerely tired of this vicious cycle, I don't know how long I can continue living like this. This his sister is married, but she doesn't want any of her brothers to be.

Mark 10: 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

Your husband needs to read the above verses again and again. You and his child are now his family, he should be prepared to walk away from those who do not wish that family well, including his sister.

Zihno:
What has that got to do with anything? Are you that depressed? I’d see a psychiatrist or psychologist or any mental health professional to help you. You need help!

The typical empty bluster from the average low intellect Nigerian. I would suggest you focus on your objective for being here. Don't worry about my mental health, it's in excellent hands.

Zihno:
So, no stats? We should just take your words for it?

You don't have to do anything...

Zihno:
Ignore you. Seeing that you really aren’t smart.

Dude, you're looking for schools as far-flung as Thailand... ok.

Zihno:
Your thought process and jumping on my post is what’s absurd. The vast majority of schools accept unofficial transcript and gre score for the initial review process and only ask for the official files after you’re recommended for admission. DO NOT BE STUPID OR ANNOY ME.

Now that you're annoyed, what are you going to do about it?

Zihno:
Any stats to back up this absurd and racist claim?

I've been here long enough to see the ebb and flow. Feel free to disagree, but the quality of the thread has diminished. It's mostly filled with blowhards like you, no surprise.

BigIyanga:
I dont see anything wrong with Naija applicants asking to know the name of the school. The school is not going to lower their standards to accommodate all applicants. Once their funding pool is dried up, new applicants will be required to bring $$ if approved.
Some schools love having Naija students come to their programs.

Fair enough. But viciously bullying people for choosing not to state the name of their school is wrong. The name of the school has nothing to do with the purpose of the thread.

Louis8796:
OK, are the jobs for Entry level data analyst in the USA.

Not sure what you are asking for. There are entry-level data analyst jobs everywhere.

shegzhkn:
Rank and file or real manager ??, Did you move from a technical background to be what you are now ??

Manager with direct reports. Yes, started out from a technical background.

shegzhkn:
What do you do ??

Business manager for an O&G.

247Hustler:
You didn't reply my mention 🤔

My apologies, how would you like to connect?

BigIyanga:
But financial aid is not considered a loan??

Depends on what it is. If it is a scholarship/TA/GA/work-study/grant, then that doesn't come with an obligation to repay and is ok. A loan is a different story. You have an obligation to repay.

Louis8796:
How did u get to Texas?

Got moved here by my company from Pennsylvania.
