₦airaland Forum

Yvete: I'll check my inbox. But wait, I'm scared because of that stuff you wrote about tracking me

Yvete: Aiight Sir! But I still insist though.

Yvete: I didn't link twitter, facebook (my obsession) or my real email. Looool

Yvete: Yea, but I'm pretty sure about that when it comes to nairaland.

Yvete: You're not so sure... Nobody knows the real me on this thread.

Yvete: Don't get a degree in Pol. Sci and expect anyone to file for you. s

kpolli: Of course am marrying a Nigerian but the venue of my wedding will not be here.... Am not buying that 50-50 rubbish in case she wants to divorce... Hope u get me now?

All the akata females I have met since I got here were once males... So mehn am not adventuring into anything here in America... I love my Naija girls... And about working, wherever God opens a door for me, I will go... I will not work as a prison guard all in the name of staying here like that dude in the other thread...

kpolli: Truth is that both of you have your points but in this argument, they can not be a winner.... So put down ur swords and pop champagne.... I am sipping my vodka, dunno about u

And egbon, Nigeria is a gold mine that can only be tapped by few.... It's not a PLC

iykrion: Hi everybody,
My F1 visa was granted on Friday 04 2013, my intention is to go for studies and return home afterwards. I wonder why so many people want to stay put in d US after studies. Pray, how will Naija grow with this unprecedented brain drain?

kpolli: Just checked the schools out, quite very very affordable but don't have many courses. . . . Very good option instead of community college

Adolite: Dont get it wrong bro,4k is per semester which is just 12 credits units,so the more you add to your credit, the more your money pilled up, I school in SD so i know whats going on down here but to be honest with you guys life is easy here and accommodation is cheap too. Over here you will surely see fresh food and fruits.BUT BUT BUT BUT COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW FULL here..lol..

Anthonymighty: Hello guys.....I don baff, rest and chop better food from mummy, come sleep small wake up because I have been on 7 days fasting and constant prayer since 20th till today. And it wasn't in vain. Now I can tell you how everything went. But first of all I want to say a big thank you to Dr. imperiouxx. You have been a wonderful friend to everyone here. Yvete, mamacita, kpolli, mr Chris, and everyone who has supported everyone in prayers and everything generally. Here is how my interview went

I got there by 5:30 i drove from ikorodu to V.I the road was free because I left the house at about 5:00 am. My time was for 8am so I sat down (100 naira for seat) zooooooom! After biometrics I sat down for my turn. Counter A 118 flashed and that was my number and I went to the VO that I have been praying to God to take me too since I entered there because I accessed the 3 VOs....counter 1 was friendly and issuing visa if you can defend yourself, the 2nd VO was asking too many questions and if you answer all well, you get the visa if not he will refuse u. The 3rd one was just denying people. So I went to the counter 1 when I was called.

Me....good morning sir
VO.....good morning...passport and application please
Me...I passed them to him (while passing it) I said compliments of the season to him....I think he didn't answer or maybe he did but I no hear because I dey para..
Vo...he scrolls thru my passport and starts typing. So where in the united states are you going too
Me... Boston Massachusetts
VO...which school and course
Me...Neu and bachelors in information technology
VO...when did you finish secondary school
Me....I finished in 2003 and I went for a diploma in computer engineering, maintenance and repair....I just try explain all the gaps sha
VO...what's your highest degree...
Me....OND in computer science at Laspotech
VO....when did you graduate
Me....last year and I worked at quest engineering ventures for 1 year (wanted to show him the letter from quest ventures) but he said don't bother..
VO....what do you do there....
Me...I repair computers, assemble them for customers, maintenance and General IT consultant.
VO....did you take SAT
Me...(here I used Yvete's expo) I have taken college level classes at Laspotech and I sent my result to my school before they admitted me because they were impressed with my GPA (I stretched my hand to show him the transcript too but he didn't look at it)
VO.....do you have any relative in Boston
Me....no I don't
VO....that means you are going to live in the school campus
Me....yes sir
VO...and who will pay for all this
Me.....my dad
VO....what does he do
Me.....he is a retired staff of NNPC and the CEO of Godwin Cars Limited
VO....ok he sells cars
Me.......yes
VO......can I see his account statement
Me......yes ( I gave him the statement and he flipped through then returned it back to me and the next thing I heard was.....pickup your visa in 3 days time. He kept my passport and docs and handed a white paper to me containing steps on ow to get my visa with a green tag already given to me before my biometrics......that was how my interview went o......

All I have to say is...God was really there for me....I didn't take a ny test, I was lucky because that was the only fear I have been thinking about for long because the next toefl or sat date was after my school's resumption date so I just thank God because so many people were denied because they didn't take a standardize exam. Please it is important you take it o..I only used my experience which I gained here to scale thru that question when I was asked about SAT.....Yvete God bless you o......I dey go koko concert tonight to go pop champagne....because thru out my Xmas season I no shayo because I was fasting and rehearsing real hard. Thank you everybody in the house....Please the key to your visa is prayer and hard work..I prayed hard, fasted and abstained from so many things because of today and it finally worth it. All the gurus in the house .Keep up the good work....Boston, MA...here I come o....na too dey find cheap ticket now be that o.....

Imperiouxx oya burst some champagne for floor mehn....I wish all those who are yet to go for their interview success. Go and get your visa with full confidence and faith.

ferdimako: Guy, for the fact you have been using 23401 and 23402 and having your stuff delivered does not mean they are correct. When you go to the US pls get the correct zip code of where u live or work. 234 is for calling Nigeria and when you go to a NIPOST office your street zip code will be revealed to you. Because Nigeria does not make most use of their zip codes, should not make us tell others to stick to a wrong thing. My area zip code here in Jos is 930282.

chuquiz: i think i would settle for California State University,Long Beach. they have a reputable track record and a great teaching staff for the postgraduate programme in Philosophy, goo research environ as well. GRE isnt a requirement for application consideration there

Mamacita007: Those of you with GA - Did you get the GA at the time of admission or afterwards? My school offers GA, but they won't allow anyone to apply until they accept you to the program. I just applied today. Should I wait till the GA decision is made before i schedule an appointment at the embassy? Because right now I don't have it.

lanrypaddy: My email addy is lanrypaddy@yahoo.co.uk
Gotta dey expect from you soon bro. ⌣»̶·̵̭̌·̵̭̌✽̤̈̊Ŧђɑ̤̥̈̊п̥̥̲̣̣̣kƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇✽̤̈̊·̵̭̌·̵̭̌«̶⌣.

lanrypaddy: Anybody in d ous to reply me? Abi presentations, articles and other assignments don occupy you guyz ni?

imperiouxx: @jimtosam,

Do you mean waive of out state tuition + stipend but you still pay in state? Cross check that very well because waiving of tuition + stipends is usually for PhD. Except you are in one of the ivy league universities and/or you have good research already done.

coolguyz: There will be primary auction for Treasury Bills on Wednesday, 22-August-12 with details as follows;

91 days tenor with maturity of 22-Nov-12, amount on offer is N30.647 billion
182 days tenor with maturity date of 21-Feb-13, amount on offer is N40.00 billion


The 91-day and 182-day bills are trading in the secondary market at 14.40% (offer) and 15.25%(offer) respectively.

Yields had gone up across all maturities in the past week due to a drop in the level of liquidity and an increment in the sales of bills by counterparties who need to raise funds to meet their obligations. However, there was a marginal drop over the past two days as there was a decrease in demand for bills. There is also the expectation of the FAAC inflow after the holidays. It is expected that yields at this auction might hover around the stop rates of the previous one

feelamong: Clearly you are wrong on this! You will only be availed at the rate you bidded for! Pronto!!

Square65: Webstradamus, how you dey? Where are you now?

feelamong: The CBN stop rates for the Tbills auction yeaterday were as follows:

91 DAYS ------14.5%

182 DAYS ------15.30%

364 DAYS ------15.38%

Good one for investors!!!

AjanleKoko: I've used the GT Naira Mastercard on travel sites like booking.com. I have used the card on ATMs and POS terminals around the world. UK, Dubai (regularly), the US, India, and China.

US ecommerce portals will typically bounce a card issued in Nigeria. Though I use VISA (not from GT) as part of my account on Amazon and Zappos. I'm told it has more to do with the billing address not in the US.

Also, you can't use a card from Naija in any Walmart store. Tried that severally.

rayo2002: ajan you are right tried both visa and naira mastercard in walmart but no show...

you even have to hold cash these days as these cards can mess you up

bukahands: They want to be able to track customers in case something goes wrong cos pple have been using online transfers for fraud and a current account has reference so as to track the person

djunit1: Get the job first before you worry about ICE lol....It is very hard to get a job outside school without proper documentation. To get proper documentation is another discussion for another day.

BTW, e get one guy wey lose him passport and visa one time. Any body kno Wetin happen to am?

imperiouxx: @webstradamus,

wetin you dey do here this morning?

EatmyShorts: Guys went for my Interview on Thursday, I GOT MY VISA!!!!!!

Odin MacThor: Hey guys! I want to go for MSc in Computer Science in USask. I'm about to graduate, but can I forego NYSC and do the Masters?

longman56: @webstradamus
