Lucid1:


I'm as shocked as you are.

This is proof that most Nairalanders read but don't comprehend, yet jump to comment. What a shame

ZoneBslayer:

you seek for reasons why a soldier beat up a woman but will be the first fvcking hypocrite to scream "men should not beat a woman" when a man beats his wife.. I fvcking detest the utter hypocrisy and cowardice of the average Nigerian male..keep looking for a justifiable reason why a soldier should brutalize a citizen he swore and is being paid to serve and protect.. bloody nincompoop!

abbeyty:


just shut your mouth you fking son of a gun, are you trying to justify these barbarians for what they did to this woman ? which story do you want to hear that will justify this inhuman behavious. Now i know that the country is really a zoo full with cruel animals including this idiot

BlackOnassis:
What kind of human beats up an innocent guy just for being gay? Sick!

Finally, my visa was approved this morning. it's been a rough one for me but God has been faithful. I got three denials mid this year for Fall session and it was like I wasn't gonna make it thru again. But I thank God, that I ade it thru this last attempt.

Here goes my transcript:

VO: How are you doing?
ME: I'm great sir and you?

VO: Can you tell me your study plans?
ME: I'm going to Valparaiso University to study a Master's degree in International Commerce and Policy for the period of 18month. I will be taking up courses like International Trade, International Business, Economics, New Venture Creation and International Relations. These courses will equip me with the right skill set to be able understand the application of Business with Trade, Economics, International Relations and Public Policy. *VO cuts*

VO: Tell me about the programme
Me: Like I earlier said, the course is for a period of 18 months and I will be taking the aforementioned courses and at graduation, I must meet up to 3.0cgpa and must have completed 25 credit hours. *VO cuts*

VO: How many schools did you choose?
ME: 2 and the other is George Mason University, Fairfax, VA.

VO: Why did you choose Valparaiso University?
ME: During my research on the course, I found out that Valpo happens to be one of the few skls around the globe that offers such course with robust combinations of course from 4 areas such as Trade, Economics, International Relations and Public Policy. And I am *VO cuts*

VO: What did you study in your UG?
ME: Business Administration.

VO: from what skl?
ME: Lagos State University, Lagos.

VO: Why do you like Unilag?
ME: * I became confused here and told him to repeat the question*

VO: Why do you like Unilag?
ME: You mean Unilag? *VO replied YES* I didn't attend unilag, I attended Lagos State University which is also called LASU. It's LASU not Unilag

VO: okay okay.

VO: Valparaiso University and George Mason University are top schools in the US, why didn't you choose them then instead going for University of Bridgeport?
ME: *The Question confuse me small but I just started saying anything* After the denials I got, I just realized a course that perfectly suits my interest and that is International Commerce and Policy(ICP) and the course has to do with the connection of business with economics, trade, international relations and public policy. More so, ICP is more of a concentration of MBA and So I just had to make the switch. And after the completion of my programme, I will return back home to work with the Bank of Industry and see to how I can formulate strategies to help startups, SMEs grow in Nigeria.

VO: *nodding his head. Bringing out the white paper* okay okay. Just keep your i-20 safe because you will be needing it at POE.
ME: *with so much excitement* thank you very much sir and God bless you.

Thanks to DeeTus and texrem and other gurus in the house for their contributions. God bless you all.

This thread helped me a lot. -Good work guys .

arshavineering:
someone please gv me a clue on the numerical test. I just received an email to take the test within 72 hours. any clue will be appreciated.

fizzile:
And after registering,did u ask the lady to mail them informing them that you have registered. I gez dat was the instruction. If it was done,I guess u have to call ur graduate program coordinator. I think you are the 3rd or 4th person I've come across that has applied into mnsu.

fizzile:
Did u register with educationusa? Cos without that,they won't process ur application.

purplesummer:

When did you send in your application? If you think it has taken rather too long then you need to shoot them a mail. If they don't respond to your mail, you call them on the phone.

Good luck!
