Your GPA is not good, you GRE is not particularly awesome, I won't knock your hustle but unless you can craft one hell of a SOP, your funding is a long shot... That been said forget Illinois State University they might not even admit you not to talk of funding, I trust Professor Mohammadi ... EIU is the only school on that list where you have a minor shot if any at all for funding... You want honest... I just gave you honest

Its been a while...

I will buzz you via email or whatsapp based on that levels..

If people want something then they should put in little effort to find it. U cant spoon feed people all the time....it took me less than 1 minute to find the link using the search button on top ..... i only did it self blc i had a free moment. These days i just ignore any post that has been frequently asked ....

Anybody that needs any info there is a search button on top. ...use it ooo

Yes the search button option is the best option for them as well

tomisinobm:
Hello ma'am. Been thinking of this, why don't we post the link for the GRE materials, toefl material and visa transcripts and any other thing on the first page of the thread so we just refer to the first page when the need arises. It'd be easier that way.
Someone with a spot on the first page can volunteer to modify his post.
My 2 cents.

Cheers.

Cc walspring

The chance of doing it is very slim because most of us might not be online when a new thread is created, Only justwise can help to do such and i doubt if he will accept this free offer

KINGMAKER001:

Bro, only if you know what Dangote does ni, all this richest man in Africa stuff I don't buy it. I've worked at Greenview Terminal, Apapa Quays. It's owned by Dangote. Once you're in and you just go straight.. The dirty water from sugarcane will be pouring down like rain.. I heard how his subcontractors they complain about how he pays late.. If that is all self, if you know what our ban lends to Indians and Lebanese you'll be shocked why they say there is recession.. From what I see, they should bring dollar rate down and recession will disappear. I've handled a Nigerian incorporated Company handled by Indians and they make money like hell.. I won't list companies o... Lol. That'd be unsafe for me. But just to note this is not what annoys me, what annoys me is that they misbehave and we back them up. One of these companies employ girls to clean prawns caught from our waters here, these girls are made to wash their hands in the same water, which would look like.... Just too dirty, then they'd be made to wear stuff like lab coats which is/or has already been used by ten people or more. Then they'll be made to stand all day more than 12hours and they'll be paid #650 Naira per day. This is soo bad. And if they disobey or show tiredness, you'll be shocked at what our person will tell them.. Na straight fire. And we know how much they'd make, I've handled their export documents before, hmmph! If you see what they make on export.. See I tired for my country o!

Nah him sabi but someone like me need to wise up and hustle for my own future.

Sometimes i wish i play football as a career, my community will never lack and poverty my disappear from my place of birth and am still waiting for that day when i become a super star

KINGMAKER001:

VISA APPROVED!!!!
First, idobale fun obaluaye. Hearer of prayer.
It'll all started this time last year. Thank God I found this visa paradise. You guys are truly a blessing. A day to my interview, I land for obalende, book one random room for lewis street. Next moved out straight to Walter carrignton(me wey I nor sabi anywhere for lag), lost for road. Thank God for that Nigerian Samaritan that helped me out. Naso I land for the us consulate. Asked the security if the place was actually us consulate, he said yes. Told him I have an interview the following day, he advised I come early as people are fond of coming earlier b4 their appointment( my mind say make I sharply put street o.t. but I couple say make dem nor deny me before my interview). Fast forward second day I was there around 5.10am, people don dey there aidy, wonder if people nor dey sleep . immediately I saw the security working towards us, I just do a Kenny . So, I was the second person on the queue. We do all their normal parole. Now in the maim room where future are decided. We do the normal scanning then straight to the next line, still the second person. Found out na window 6 I go dey(looks Chinese bakan bakan young guy) immediately I remembered some folks said he denies and don't give time for explanation. That moment I prayed that God should do the best. The guy in front of me was approved. Next, Gods own scholar(these folks are a wonderful family) second born. Nazo I stand like one professor of mathematics lol, d comfy come.

Me: good morning, how was your night.

VO: good morning. (Didn't answer night, I sha couple say nothing dey happen)
VO: so why are you going to us?
ME: to pursue my PhD degree in mathematics at the university of Memphis after which I'll be coming back to take up a lecturing and research position at futa.

VO: why this university?
Me: am keen on joing prof Thomas hagen research group because he has an ongoing research that matches mine( this time I dey use hand dey describe, dey smile like say I won lotto). The purpose of my research with him is to understand the interaction between turbulence and wave which I believe will help me provide measures that will help reduce the effect of man made and natural disasters that befall our coastal ....vo cuts in....but I nor mind I complete my sentence ....coastal areas in naija.

VO: What are you going to do after your studies?
Me: I'll be coming back to Nigeria to take up a lecturing and research position at futa. Am also going to become a research consultant to Nigeria environmental management agency with a view to carrying out a research that'll improve.....vo cuts in again...(this point he stared at my i20 again and start typing like he's been doing since the interview Adam)

VO: so PhD in maths. When did you get your MSc?
Me: ooh actually b.tech was in 2014.

VO: (looks at i20 for some time) Do you have the letter from your professor confirming this funding?
Me: yes, I gave it to him

VO: (after reading for some seconds) this is so nice
Me: yes very great. Thank you. **I wan talk but I reason the guy nor too like talk**

VO: **types for some seconds**puts my passport in that kolo...you'll need your i20 at point of entry. Pick up your visa at this point. Congrats.
Me: thank you so so much. Thanks again.

Walked out and started jubilating nio....was like chai nah me be this. One random lost boy finally given victory.
NB: it not a complete success yet without my FAM christian129, Adebimpe and all my Gods own scholar family visas. Pray God grant you guys your heart desires(admission, funding , favor, anointing etc).
I will never forget your undivided attention and concern walspring. My love wishes goes to lagsmacrib for your love, care, time, experience (I dey solicit for more than Nairaland and mail sontin o...u understand na ). Oludare, mehn this guy DOPE. Thanks for the ginger and insight. God father Kenny, chai...window seat abi naso we go roll. Friend turn blood, CHRISTIAN129 this guy is from another planet, (your visa is a success aidy, and nor forget our parole. that big Disney cruise for Bahamas). Gods own scholars you're the best. Wish you all success in your visa hustle.

Congrats and enjoy your stay in Obamaland

DeeTus:
I knew this. The same guy sent an e-mail to me, instead of ignoring him or something, I still replied him. When I fail to response to some Private Mails, some blocked heads here will start to castigate me as if they are paying my salary.

He must have sent you same lyrics and script to you as well?

DeeTus:
MMM is scam. Do not encourage people to put money there. Lets Partner With Us has gone down the drain.

I personally know one of the guys who is a member of MMM. I don't talk to him though. But the guy is planning to travel abroad with people's money.

Roger that!

youngmoney416:
I acknowledge my mistakes and once again sincerely apologise. What we may claim to be online may not translate in real life. How else do I convince you and how I wish you knew me in person. Please bear with me.

Why lieing and claiming you have arrived when you have not even start at all

tomisinobm:
Boys are not smiling. Abi you don't know there's economic "reception"

For this change era eher boys wan smile if no be MMM wey dey make dem smile..

OluDare01:
Walspring don enter professional level for MMM

Lol.. No time to waste..

Nah guider I dey wait make I become for there oo

LagosismyHome:
while i agree the early people who cash in with MMM can make gain abeg small small with advising on the bold. .......i dont see a disclaimer of risk
The key to this thing is knowing when it grows too big and walk away . The interest given is not sustainable on a rob peter to pay paul model , one thing is certain it will crash one day ................but hey if you can cash out before then , its not BAD AT ALL .

It will go on pause mode by resetting if people don't PH so as to GH those who have done PH and not crashing.......... this flew over my head ooo. what is PH and GH . Let me check google as this is not an MMM tread or advertisement

PH means Provide help
GH means Get help

OluDare01:
I'm telling you. A friend invested all her savings in that thing.

That's risk and am sure she is smiling now..

Life is all about taking risk

If you can take risk and you don't have money to school or your money is not complete to fly to Obamaland, you better go and use it do MMM even dangote and his cohorts took risk with their money to get to where they are now not to take of others in the developed countries

LagosismyHome:
*MMM is bound to crash terribly one day (all Ponzi / pyramid scheme do because its the model just taking from peter to pay paul)* ....... but the ones who can cash out before it crash gain and some do make big gains .
But the only thing is no body can predict the day it will crash

It will go on pause mode by resetting if people don't PH so as to GH those who have done PH and not crashing.

Even banks are bound to crash and that when we see CBN taking over and merging two banks together..

Same way banks are taking from Peter to pay Paul and non of us are aware.. I like MMM ideology no be small

Every month banks used our money to trade by using it to give loans to dangote and his cohorts while they are getting rich day by day and banks collect the interest rate and share among themselves both junior and as irk staffs and at month end bank pay me #3 as Interest on my account and at the end of same month bank will charge me #100 and above as monthly charges is this not say light robbery?


Alert coming every week for Peopel as MMM is concerning and I have seen people using MMM to buy new phones, one girl on this thread used it to pay her house rent and I knew one guy who is planning to use it to buy a new car and sell is old car.. Tell me will bank help us or CBN help us. ?

If MMM crash today let's have it in our mind that we dash single individual money and not group of people, am sure majority in this world can dash a single person money and over look it and not group of people coming to collect their money and run away..

OluDare01:
All my friends for Naija still dey beg me to join MMM.
Ababa sha be careful

Thanks for the advice..

Opportunity comes but once and life is all about taking risk..

itunu8:
