TravelRe: Likely Questions By Usa Consular During Interview For Tourist Visa And Response by violent(m): 12:30am On May 02, 2010
They'd probably make up their mind in the first 2 minutes, so whatever you do, make sure your charm flows out in the first 5 minutes. Smile but not too much, maintain good eye contact but don't just stare, take your time to speak but don't speak too slow, and if they ask any question you don't understand or one you find confusing/trickish, it is better you tell the interviewer to explain than jump into the answer.

Likely questions are

Why do you want to go to the states

Likely answer: I'm having a short break at work so i'd like to spend some time off with my uncle {make sure he's really your uncle or whatever relative you are mentioning}, and i also believe its the right opportunity for me to get to know some interesting parts of the world.

What would you be doing in the states

I will be visiting {mention names of places you'd like to visit}, i will also be spending some time off with some old friends, shopping, as well as some freelance photography, i will be doing everything to have some great time

how long will you be spending over there

Since you are going on a tourist visa, its always advisable to answer this in days, as it gives the interviewer a mindset that you don't plan to stay long. . . so instead of saying 2 months, i'd rather much just say 60 days

Do you have any relatives? what is the status of him/her?

Yes i do. I have a close Uncle who has been living in New York with his family for over 8 years, he's an engineer and he's aware of my travel plans.

What work do you do? How much is your annual net take home?

I work as a Quality control officer at 7 up bottling company and i'm also an active investor in the Nigerian stock and property markets. On an annual basis, i net close to 4 million on all my total investments.

In all, they'd be looking for strong ties with Nigeria.

PoliticsRe: Sim Card Registration Begins May 1 ( Please Say No To This Rubbish ) by violent(m): 7:25pm On May 01, 2010
You should say no because you do not need a finger print submission to obtain a sim card even in the developed world and such biometric data are not to be left in the hands of private institutions. No one is against using finger print technology to fight crime but such data's are only left in the hands of government agencies and not a phone company please.

Hope you remember mossad dubai hit and i wonder what you guys will say when your data is used to commit such crimes.
The fact that certain things don't happen in certain places does not necessarily stop us from forging ahead in our plans towards fighting crime and improving security.
The US and the UK already have an established database of fingerprints to analyse data with, we have absolutely nothing.

I believe such things can be adequately managed by the NCC in conjunction with different security arms of the government. Established procedures might be put in place to prevent private institutions from permanently holding on to such data on their systems.

Besides, fingerprint is absolutely for recognition, i doubt if it poses so much security risk as you suggest in your post, an Average Nigerian is willing to drop his/her biometric details at foreign embassies in a desperate bid to apply for visa, and if asked will even drop his DNA sampling. I see no reason why such individual should be worried about the government having his/her fingerprint on the system if in the long run it will help to reduce and fight crime in the country.

Just imagine how many cases would have been well investigated if we had such database, the murder of Bola Ige, kidnap cases, etc etc, and even the process will reduce the number of scam that are conducted via phones on a daily basis for which Nigerians have been associated with worldwide.

I bet half of Nigerians will be willing to drop their blood samples, brain matter samples, shít samples etc etc, if US is offering a free visa.

Finger print collection is only meant to clearly distinguish A from B
PoliticsRe: Sim Card Registration Begins May 1 ( Please Say No To This Rubbish ) by violent(m): 3:14pm On May 01, 2010
And why should we say No?

We supply this kind of information {Passport, address, etc} at the banks before opening an account, the only addition is the finger print thingy, so why make a big fuss out of nothing.

Moreover, looking at the upside which clearly outweighs the downside, such information as fingerprint will definitely come handy towards tracking of criminals, kidnappers etc.
Hundreds of crime are committed on a daily basis with the perpetrators ignorantly leaving their fingerprint all over the place, it is only prudent that we have a database that can analyse such data and produce the criminals involved in a clear and concise manner.

Besides, it will also help to stem cases of fraud which has consistently been the bane of Nigerian's problems

PoliticsRe: Ibb Boycotted ! by violent(m): 8:47am On Apr 30, 2010
Former Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) president and current Secretary-General of Organisation of Africa Trade Union, Comrade Hassan Summonu, fired the first salvo when he appealed to Nigerians to never again allow any free and fair elections to be annulled in the country.
He stressed that whoever annulled the June 12, 1993 election was the cause of the problem Nigeria was passing through today.

But Festus Keyamo, a Lagos lawyer and social crusader, did not mince words when he said that it was only one man, one vote that would ensure a corrupt-free government that would deliver on electoral promise and be accountable to the people, adding, “that is why we protest the presence of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida who annulled the June 12 election.”

He's not being charged for an early marriage to the minor, he ought to be charged for child molestation and child trafficking, at the international level, the kids parent should be named in the suit as well.

All they'd probably just need is a one minute video recorded testimony from the kid about how scared she is of her captor and how she cries every night for someone to come around and save her from captivity.

That will certainly send the dude behind docks till the sun turns purple

Last time i checked, there are laws against child trafficking, it's only for the court to define the boundaries!

The court will determine if paying 15 million, for a 13 year old to leave under your roof against her wishes, as a wife, with her responsibilities including and not limited to sexual activities, can be described as a form of child trafficking, abuse and molestation, and if such marriage has in any way violated the minor's fundamental and democratic rights.

I don't know what your relationship with this Abalaka dude is, but from all indications it seems you are just trying to put up a cover to save the guy's shame.

If indeed people we getting cured, how can he claim to have a vaccine?

Vaccines don't cure people you know, you really need to invest in a mini oxford dictionary, or better and cheaper still try Google.

I coulda taken a bet and won still that his said vaccine is capable of curing staphylococcus, hypertension, sickle cell, syphilis, malaria, gonorrhea, streptococcus, diarrhea. . . .etc.
Nairaland GeneralToyota Corolla by violent(op): 7:26pm On Apr 25, 2010
One of Toyota's most popular cars, the corolla has been banned in one of Brazil's biggest states, which says the model is a safety risk.

The Minas Gerais regional government stopped sales of vehicle, claiming an acceleration problem was "putting in danger the lives of occupants".

It said nine Corollas in the state had shown problems that Toyota said were caused by badly installed floor mats.

Toyota has recalled more than 8million vehicles internationally.

In February, US authorities began an investigation into problems of the corolla, amid complaints the car would accelerate suddenly. At least 34 deaths in the United States have been blamed on the problem.

Stability Issues.

Earlier this week, Toyota agreed to pay a record fine of $16.4m in the US for failing to report some defects in some of its vehicles accelerator pedals.

The Japanese carmaker denied hiding the defects, but again acknowledged that it could have handled the issue better.

Some 2.3million Toyotas were recalled in the US in January amid reports that the accelerator pedals become stuck.

This week, Toyota announced it was recalling about 34,000 Lexus GX 460 and Land Cruiser Prado SUVs worldwide.

The company said it would update the vehicles'stability-control software programme to reduce the risk of them sliding sideways when turning sharply at high speeds, partly because the fuel tank and the presence of the driver might make the left side of the vehicle heavier.

Toyota had earlier announced the recall of 600,000 Sienna minivans in the US.
It said prolonged exposure to road salt might result in excessive corrosion of the spare-tyre cable, and that the tyre might fall off the vehicle.
Toyota overtook General Motors in 2008 as the world's biggest carmaker, but has since blamed its quality control problems on its rapid expansion.
