Ishilove: Esere, sweery, abeg cool down jare. How can government use NL when the NLanders themselves are not helping issues. Go to the front page and see all the brain deadening topics there. How can any govt take NL seriously when we have topics like "Picture of Davido eating Akpu" or "Help, his dog farts too much. Advice needed",or "Picture of Tiwa Savage pounding yam" makes the front page while serious threads like this are relegated to the background.

dnpasion: It was really a sad day for me because i got Denied today at Lagos Us Embassy and here is how my interview went. Firstly i was bit nervous when answering the questions.

Vo. Why this school?
Me. I chose this uni becos 99% of their classrooms are technology-enabled and the school offers intelligence cognate which combine the key elements of computer science with the skills needed for work in the security and business sector.
Vo. How many schools did you applied to?
Me. 3 and listed but only xyz admitted me.
Vo. Who is Jerry westfall?
Me. Thought he said Jerry Falwel so I said he is the founder of the school because Jerry Falwel is the founder and chancelor of the school not knowing he was referring to Westfall who happens to be one of the prof. In the computer sc. Department.
Vo. Why this major?
Me. I chose this major because almost every major challenge facing society is turning to computing for a solution.
Vo.What will you do after the completion of your study?
Me. Come back for my nysc after that I wish to work for the nigeria government.
Vo. Who is sponsoring you?
Me. My dad
Vo. What does he do?
Me. Business
Vo. Type of business?
Me. He is a major distributors of mouka and yinka oba foam, he is also into sales of building materials.
Vo. How much does it have in bank for your program?
Me. Told him the total on the bank statement but he didn't bother to look at the bank statement.
He typed for some minutes hoping that he is going to give me the green paper but unfortunately he gave me a white paper and said sorry can't grant you a visa.

On the white paper given to me, it was stated there and I quote that: After considering the information you supplied through your visa application, your responses to questions asked durong interview and information available in our databases, the consular officer who conducted your interview determined that you have not demonstrated that you qualify for a U.S. Nonimmingrant Visa.
This may have been because you either did not demonstrate strong ties outside the united states or you were unable to demonstrate that your intended activities would be consistent with the type of visa for which you applied.

kaytee07: Thanks peeps. Interview was yesterday @ the Lagos Embassy with a black American guy. Here's how it went: Can't even remember if I greeted him.
VO: Please pass your documents
Me: Passed my docs (Passport, I-20, Admission letter, etc)
VO: What course are you going to study?
Me: Business administration and Management
VO: Why did you choose Bleep University?
Me: Spoke about the courses and how each of those courses can help achieve my overall career objective here in Nigeria
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: I said "three" and mentioned them
VO: Why did you choose this school over the two?
Me: Re-iterated the answers I gave to the first question
VO: Did you write GMAT?
Me: Yes, I passed my score sheet (he looked through and passed it back)
VO: Who's paying for your education?
Me: My mum
VO: What does she do?
Me: I explained
VO: What do you do presently?
Me: I work with a company (mentioned the name) as an associate in the xyz unit
All the while, he was typing. When he finished, he gave me a white collection form and said "Your visa has been approved, pick it up @ ikeja on..." (didn't hear the guy after that)
That was the end of the interview. The only supporting document he requested was my GMAT score report. All glory to God

kpolli:

You now see why I went angry. . . . When a whole egbon seedord doesn't know that naija zip code is not 23401

It is just a code that nigerians formulated themselves

Dial ke, my zip code here is diff from area code ooo

kpolli:

23401 is not a naija zip code ooo, its for Keller, Virginia

nex: Someone just mentioned that D'Banj's music is Afro Hiphop. Please, desist from such misinformation.

As a matter of fact, I must first start by saying that this is not music. Like D'Banj has often said, he's an entertainer. He's simply a Milli Vanilli. He needs a songwriter, a vocalist, a producer, so that all he will do is go on stage and mime the song. If he continues to deceive his new American partners that he can create music, he'll end up on the road he's been headed since the past few months, which is utter failure.

Nigerian Economy To Overtake UK, France By 2050

The Muhammadu Buhari-led Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) yesterday described the statement made by Prof. China Achebe on former military head of state, General Yakubu Gowon and the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, in his latest book,as unfortunate.

sweet_gala: Now I ask why must a old much respected Nobel laureate invite the topic of division and taint the image of his long dead enemy for personal gratification? The war for him is long gone and lost.

thelastPope:

The funny thing about posts like these is that people like you think all Nigerians are politicians of children of politicians. How many politicians are in Nigeria? How many people benefit from politics money? We work hard. We work smart and we get our doe! There's money here because there's population here. Get it into your head! Someone like you might even be posting from spain or greece right now and still be claiming you are doing fine. Smh

Billyonaire: You tried to make a little sense, but as I read on, you derailed to some sinister cheap punk tactics. When you mention 3 names of people who were not recognized, did you care enough to mention the names of the captains of Industries and Capitalist venturers who have blessed be awared honors by the Government. Do you think running away from Nigeria will make Nigeria better, I say Hell No!, Only cowards will run away from where there is work to be done to fix a broken and battered country. The truth remains that those countries you reside are adopted home, at some point in your life, you will want to come back to your natural home either as aged old man without natural history back here or as a dead meat popularly called Corpse, and hey, charter flights cost a lot to bring in dead body, you better save well well.

stillwater: I've never seen people who revel in their sh.it more than Nigerians in Nigeria. What a disgrace!

ajileko: Nothing works in this country. Absolutely nothing. It's like whole bunch of animals living in the bush, anything goes.
And please when you travel, please hide your passport.

Billyonaire: Do you mean your braincell is working and you pour this hate out here ? I do not know what working braincells mean anymore. Cos I do not understand why, you guys think we do not visit those countries you slave for. I come there, dine and wine and shop for things I need to clean my toilet then remember that there is Nigeria to build, so I think your braincells need mechanics.
