kpolli: Is there a set if Nigerians that like it?

Of course there are! Helllloo??
LSU is packed with akata-rized Nigerians, right? Or maybe first-generation Nigerian-Americans?
SOS! Mamacita is serious about her accent. I heard her and my brother discussing - every T is a D not an R. Haha! I was like WTH

OjaP: I am far from that. I can never act akataish*....lol. I am just keeping it 100% with that guy sis. You get what I'm saying?;
I should be in TX in 2weeks...

Sure about that?
What part of TX are you visiting? Work-related stuff or you coming to party??

Heyy Guys

Took the GRE today. Finished about 15 minutes ago.... Met Bukahands at the centre tho he finished before I did & left earlier (How did you do bro?).

Essays were alright, Argument task was easier.

First verbal & Quant sections were quite lovely.

2nd Verbal & Quants sections were far less lovely...almost crazy.lol

3rd Verbal (the unscored section I guess) was in between.

At the end of it all.....

Verbal -160
Quantitative 157.



my undergrad cgpa is 3.47

Can anyone please suggest schools that lay more emphasis on GRE than CGPA in giving assistantships, scholarships(maybe) e.t.c.
Intended major -Public health/Env. Health & related areas sha.

I chose Indiana Uni Bloomington, Uni of Cincinnati, Northern Illinois Uni & Kent state Uni.

Thanks guys. To those studying for the GRE, keep studying & practicing, forcus on your weak areas. You'll do very well.

*GRE -Check.

Sorry for late response,I have been dancing azonto to God since last week.I am back on the blog now.
I have decided to deffer my admission as suggested by my school but the extension letter serve me well for embassy
request for my Visa.I was not even with the extension letter as at the time I went for my interview & the VO knew that the date on my I-20 was due and did not make reference to it until the last minute after an enthralling conversation.

I wrote three pages out of the whole interview & I decided to stop because it was such a long & wonderful interview.
To my surprise, there was no single reference to my first interview.
I am convinced very well that adequate preparation with fervent prayer set stage for a sucessful interview.

Why should you be surprise about the bold sentence. They don't go back to your first interview because it's already in front of them with reason for your denial. Unless in a case they just asked to test your sincerity. Also getting visa with just few days expired I-20 is possible this is not my first time of standing with this claim for whoever like to challenge it. Mind if I beg you for a small errand in Nigeria before coming..... jo mafi se'binu.

Oops Oops Oops!
Don't wanna wake up to this caption on CNN "Is Nigerian student Anthonymighty really mighty for punching a roommie?"
... America teaches you to use your tongue to curse (verbal judo) while your fist sits in your pocket. Don't ever get physical.

Just like "Goddamnit! just shout the fucck up, I don't give a fucck about what's wrong with your fucck decision. If you don't like the room, get your motherfucckin a ss out of the house or you go to hell or you kiss my royal a ss" - Typical American when annoyed.

Anthony learn only the good words and no fight because police dey work 24/7 and 911 isn't hard to dial by a 2 years old kid.

Abegi, American English is the sweetest.....no grammar hunting, chastising, vocabulary blasting. American English is "You say what you feel is good to you" but must keep to your past tense when speaking of past and construct good sentence as a foreigner.

I heard Americans saying He/She don't wanna do it/that..... when carried away by discussion. Don't and Doesn't error occurred most as their mistakes/slip of the tongue. I trust my naija guyz, they will just look at you like you shiit for body if you ever do such mistake.

Loool @ American English. Very sweet when you're pissed!
What I like is that its informal with lots of contractions (lazy man's speech) even at a workplace. "How you doin?" may be incorrect to someone used to British English, but it works in all settings in America. Its strange to ask someone, "How do you do?" WTH? And when your own boss calls everyone a mo-fo, what do you expect? A---ta is worse with cursing!
Did you watch Piers Morgan and Alex Jones (Gun control guy) on CNN? The guy said something kinda like, "Get yo British a$$ outta here!" on national TV. Then started mimicking Pier's British accent. hehehehe Quite unbelievably stup!d!

Anfnie (Anthony - That's how your name is pronounced), be a good 'boy'. No punches, jabs or uppercuts!

Why though? They're Nigerians like you only that they're born here. If you settle in America, your kids will be like that too. Different attitude, accent with American thinking styles.

University of Cincinnati has a tradition of offering partial scholarship to most of their accepted graduate students, so that's ok. You can also try Texas A&M, College Station. They generally have low tuition compared to the quality of education you get. Moreover, most graduate students that apply on time receive funding, although to a lesser extent in your field compared to engineering. Keep it in mind anyway that these assistantships are becoming more competitive these days.

Thanks so much for your unflagging support in critical moment.
I see now why the first VO that interviewed me asked me to reapply immediately for another interview.

Nope, born n bred in naija.... came here in 2009/2010 n can't even pronounce their names again..... FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ones born here, I have not bothered to meet cos one of them caused chaos so I regard them as akata

But there are still some real gees

I beg to defer, it spoils ur English.... I can talk informally with them but won't allow it cloud what I've already learnt

Reminds me of a Nigeria-American brother who got done with his BS here in Dec. The dad, mom and aunt are typical Naija, speaking concentrated Yoruba English but Jason - the son who was born here speaks in American. Eng, behaves like the Americans. On his facebook, he always post about Jordan shoes....WTH! When naija graduates will be thinking of hustling for job by now.

Good to know that but at anytime we owe everything to God. You got good GA score now, that's why I asked you to research yourself. All you need is pick your state, use www.utexas.edu/world/univ/state/ to know schools in the state. Search each school requirements and first is to write the departmental head and the graduate coordinator, telling them your credentials. It's very simple to do.

Good to know you know. You will still give few of them a trial (let's say 2 of your 5 choice schools) while you await your new GRE.
