Newbiee:
AU must stand for constitutionality and not allow the western powers to influence their decision on this. The Mugabe era must be allowed to end in a constitutional way, not through the backdoor because of his wife's excesses.

This is a silly post. What have the western powers done other than to keep quiet and ignore Zimbabwe? We love to blame the western powers, while steadfastly refusing to hold ourselves accountable for our gross incompetence and inability to make anything work.

cooljude:
It's a coup, sanctioned by western government (it's obvious from their reporting) and it shouldn't be recognised in Africa because it would signal double standard and embolden military personnel to start plotting coup.

Mugabe might be different thing to different persons but this action might further lead to the degradation democracy in Africa. I hope AU takes the right stand on thus issue.

Exactly which democracy are you talking about, with respect to Zimbabwe?

Sharles:
Hmmm even mine was kept for administrative processing at abuja yesterday. I taya for this abuja administrative processing oh.

Too many tithe-paying frauds. they have to verify that your submitted documents are genuine.

ceejay55ceejay:
Good day. Please I would like to ask a question. Is a 24 year old going for undergraduate degree advisable?

Not a problem. Be prepared to explain what you've been doing since you finished high school till now.

demiiii:
Hello Nairalanders, I need your assistance. I intend to further my education by enrolling for a phd in the USA. I currently have my BSc in Insurance and MBA in Accounting.
I will like to apply to a school in Maryland.
I need your urgent advice.
I have gone through the thread but still confused as to how to get in contact with A supervisor who can endorse me. I need your support. Thanks

What exactly do you mean?

seyewest:
Long time how far?

My brother, life is good. Home sick today so i have all the time in the world.

kristinbaby:
Congratulations. This is so easy. Have you or your husband travel out before? It pains me when I read transcript of how visa officer keep asking why do you want to give birth in US, why not UK. Someone was rejected based on this, despite giving reasons why not UK, she was denied. May be the VO is expecting her to say because of duo citizenship. God is great!!!

Let's be honest, that is the REAL reason you choose to have your baby in the US, not the UK or South Africa, Ghana or even Nigeria. It's ok to be honest. It's not against the law to want a US passport for your child.

Kukaman:
Hello house, can anyone confirm to me if Webster University is a red flag school or not.

Looks like an ok school.

Ayantybat:
OK... Tnx for the response,Ow do I best present my case

The best way to present your case... is not to present it at all! An entire family going on vacation for 3 months... yeah who are you kidding.

Reine22:
An entire family is going to the US for a church program for three whole months, husband’s work details are admittedly sketchy, wife plans to birth and her office is going to pay for her bills instead of giving her a car...
Tales by Moonlight! Where’s Twoods when you need him??

Twoods is here, quietly laughing at all these frauds who probably pay tithe too.

Billyonaire:
My response was geared towards the very negative blow back this news has generated on this 'Nigerian' forum which I consider primarily ignorant, and that is the basis of my point of view. It does not mean that the 'white employers' who deny him jobs are smarter.

Any individual or corporate entity who sees tattoo as a vice is moronic, ignorant and biased. Any contrary opinion to this is just an opinion that needs to be re-screened and those with the mindset need education on how to reason properly.

This is a senseless statement. Google, ExxonMobil, Facebook, Amazon - all are corporate giants earning far more than your country spends as its entire yearly budget. You will never find ANY of its public-facing executives with such tattoos. I will bet my last dollar that those people are not "moronic, ignorant or biased". They are simply smart people who understand that branding is a key aspect of remaining competitive. Tattoos may not be bad, but lets be frank, such a tattoo tells me more about the person than anything he/she has to say at an interview. That is a person who is likely impulsive, lacks the capacity for good judgement and shortsighted. Those are traits i would not want in a potential employee.

Femmylawy:
Pls house, what is the difference between passport number and passport document number. Am confused on what to fill. Secondary must I lie that have travelled out of the country before my visa can be granted. Just gained admission to a school in us nd working on my ds-160 form. Kindly assist out

Why would you consider lying, for anything at all? Kindly share with me what prompts such a thought in your head.

signature2012:
So in your mind,no Nigerian is trustworthy.Your level of reasoning is totally opposite your level of education.

If you think they are, let’s see you leave your bank account number here. We are a nation of the dishonest... you wouldn’t trust anyone here with your money, for all your feigned disgust.

Your opinion of my reasoning or education is your problem.

Ability247:
Spot on. I toyed with this idea. It was actually one of my plan Bs in case anything goes wrong. Then I realised how hard it is to find a cosigner despite having lots of relations here in the States. Then it dawned on me that once you get here, even if all your lineage is here, you are to a large extent OYO. But if you are a believing Christian, God will always be with you and He has been making a way for me. Well, that's a testimony for another day. Truth is, Lagosismyhome is very correct - that stuff needs a cosigner and getting one is harder than one would think/imagine. I kinda understand why though... everybody is over cautious, nobody wants even the scent of future wahala. Lol.

Only a fool would co-sign for you. For starters, why would anyone trust a Nigerian? Sorry... that’s the hard cold fact. Second, as the co-signer, I am responsible for the entire cost should you fail to pay back and abscond to wherever you wish. Not only am I stuck with the bill, my credit is ruined for good. Third, that loan will be a problem when I need to purchase a car or need a mortgage.

whyqueu:
Hello house!!! Need your honest opinion on this situation about Murray State university.. I applied some sleep months ago to the school and I asked my school (undergraduate school) to send my transcript as usual to the School. they told me to ask my school to resend it again " There have been some discrepancies with some transcripts that's why I ask you to have the Transcripts sent again directly to me" which I applied also to my school to resend it. only to get this message from them saying!
I have told my undergraduate school and they said they will send them a massage and the truth is what is the best way to do it.. Should I forget it or what. please help me .i need some urgent response to this situation because I'm terrified. I called the school and she was confident that it's was a Fraudulent and Transcript!!! WHAT SHOUlD I am dO?

lagosismyhome

Lol another fraud. Seems that’s all we get as Nigerians. If you were genuine, you won’t be here asking questions, you’d be at your former school demanding answers as to who is trying to destroy your future.

Aspentrails96:
bro, i've known them since dec 2014. I don't think they can, 60years of age. How can i strong word my honest intentions to btttress my concept.

You won’t get the visa. Save your time.

emmanuelebhos:
What if I was banned because of misrepresentation by Canadian embassy. Can I still apply for an america visa

Why not? They are not obliged to grant you a visa if they feel you’re not qualified though.

Pidgin2:
I wished him good luck initially but i was called out for mentioning tax, that's all. I'm still wishing him good luck tho

I’d rather pay 40% tax in the US than zero tax in Nigeria. In over a decade, I have seen power go out twice... once for maintenance and once when we had a bad hurricane. In both cases, I was inundated with warning emails days prior and power was back within 10 hours. Water flows like clockwork, schools are free up to college level, the 911 system works efficiently and we have the best healthcare in the world... even your president comes to the UK or Germany for healthcare. Shame on you.

Your effective tax rate is lower, but other than paying exhorbitant salaries so Dino melaye can pose with exotic cars on Facebook, what exactly is your tax used for to benefit you? By the time you calculate how much it costs just to live as middle class in Nigeria, you’re paying far more than a 40% tax on a lower salary.

seyewest:
Our eyes don see pepper for this thread.. That number 14 is a disaster waiting to happen.

Which is quite sad, that the vast majority of us cannot support our answers with credible evidence... but of course, it’s just “god”.

chimoore247:
Okay thanks for your response, first and foremost I am not desperate,I have a good job here and I have my family, I mean my husband and daughter. I have made that mistake we all make mistakes, I am just looking for a way forward and solution. Solution is all am seeking now thank you and God bless you.

It is true that we all make mistakes, but certain mistakes have more severe consequences. Nothing anyone can do to help you. Sorry, the only solution would be to not have lied in the first place.

chimoore247:
Hello house,I just joined the house and I have been seeing other people's Testimonies it can only be God.

In subsequent posts, you admitted that you blatantly lied on a visa application. The visa officers aren’t stupid, you will continue to be denied a visa unless you admit this. Also can you please stop abusing the name of “God”? You don’t seem to reverence Him if you have no problem lying.

seangy4konji:
twoods calm down..i see the way you take things as if na u sabi every.yes its good to let people know falsifying is or wont be of any benefit to them or us in general but you always like to stress it like a commander.u no be consular...i will only share you one of different things cos OFIRI LETI...Walls have hears...ibne of mys cousin was rejected UK 3 times and invitation was from bro from their mother side 4 of them with british passport but he was used to falsifying docs.got banned for 10 years...we got the letter on a monday and responded on wednesday and they put a call through the next monday and on that same passport they put that stamp you seem to put as one of theirs as if it is not meant to be stamped on one of our passports...where ur power stop na there some other people begin...dont falsify docs and always be truthful..

i got nothing in this world myself..my word and my balls..i dont break it. be easy when you try to correct people...they will understand better instead of acting like say their destiny is controlled by the knowledge of what you know.

Your post is quite dumb and frankly is the problem with Nigeria. I don't post as a consular officer, i am not one. I simply post as a concerned Nigeria who is sick of attitudes like yours. They are the reason you would kill to get the right to live in the West, even though you seem to endorse the same corruption that is the bane of underdevelopment of Nigeria. Good luck to you.

Gracesofar:
Calm down man.... She's obviously clean on dz. D fault is from the agent or whatever his called and she not checking the authenticity. Nd I won't blame her. Even as a kid till I was 16 or so. I tot d only place visa can be giving is from agent office coz dz wia my families go to in case of travelling or anytin.

Dnt blame her. No one is perfect he rfaukts are close to little and if she's a fraudster like u undermined she wud HV acted more perfect and not suck up at the sight of the promise land.

That is your view... it is unfortunately not shared by actual visa officers. The issue of using visa agents has been exhaustively discussed in the travel section and actual VOs have given their views. You are held solely responsible for any information that is false in your application. If we all stopped trying to excuse fraud and dishonesty, we may get to a place where we are not all running away to countries where these types of issues are taken extremely seriously.

cristianisraeli:
i get your point but she can still claim she didnt know

but we still dont know if the visa was fake or something

she might be going to israel on pilgrimage visa or so

no one knows for sure

she didnt commit any hard crime against the state of israel so am sure she can still apply for UK or US

That is not possible. Signing a visa application is an implicit agreement that you are aware of every information provided. In the US, the signed application is equivalent to a sworn statement in court, that is why the US warns strongly against using agents... claiming "i did not know" is not a valid excuse.

Only in Nigeria is lying, fraud and deceit considered "not a hard crime"... and we wonder why we all want to run away to other countries who take falsification of documents very seriously.

cristianisraeli:
theres always penalty for deportation and reasons for deportation

they deport people for many reasons

giving wrong answers or even behaving suspicious at ben gurion

she would be able to apply for UK or US as long as shes truthful and state the true reason for her deportation from the state of israel

Think for a second, you tell the US or UK visa officer that you were deported for falsifying a visa... and you think they will then stamp one of theirs in your passport? Sure.

Gracesofar:
God help her. Cheers

God help her do what? Be smarter at committing fraud?

mofedamijo:
I beg to disagree boss, people get deported and still get u.k,u.s,canada abd Australian VISA,the thing is if ure deported from the above countries,then u done,the u.s especially knows that the isrealis are crazy,they deport even u.s citizens https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-interrogates-deports-u-s-citizens-pro-palestinian-group-n622671

xandy84:
You are wrong. I had been deported before and i still got F1 visa 4 years ago. I really don"t understand while Nigerians generally are pessimist. All they see is the dark side of life

Good luck to you both.

I think the problem isn't that Nigerians are pessimistic, it is a question of why Nigerians have a predilection for doing things the crooked way. If we were simply honest, threads like this would not exist and we would not require a visa to go anywhere.

Also we need to be sure that we are describing the same situation. I doubt the UK or US would be willing to grant you a visa knowing that you've once been deported for falsifying a visa. But as i said, feel free to try.

def111:
My question is did your sister went to the embassy her self and collect the visa herself ?.... If not it's 100% fake.. Look for army go beat that agent. Collect your money too...

If this is true then your sister can forget about going to the US, Canada, the UK etc. The question of whether you have ever been deported from any country is asked on their application forms. Stating the use of a falsified visa as the reason is sure to lead to an automatic denial. Sometimes, pure honesty is better than endless fasting and prayer.

modath:
Tpako!!! You ehn...

no be true?

dannyfrank1:
oga calm down..u've bewn tagging everybody lazy since i've been seeing your post take a chill pill abeg..you must comment in everything you see.

Well if you tag me in an unserious post, I certainly may comment. You can always take your own advice - take a chill pill and calm down, you were not being referenced.

slinkman:
stop quoting me unnecessarily if you aren't going to provide help , just ignore .

That’s the point, you don’t need help, you need to be told to do your work and stop being lazy. You can insult me all you want... at the end of the day you’re the one still stuck there.
