OjaP: Yvette! Yvette!! Yvette!!!

Why are you ignoring me? Did you see my email at all?

Anyways, I hope you are still not angry because of our last "discussions" here. How is your weekend going?

Yvete:

Okay, I finally forgive you.
The next time you say that any other woman in the world is better than a Nigerian woman, I'll fight you - that's a threat. ((hugs))

Shey those tins dey yankee? What of yam and beans. Ejo o...I can't eat burger and pizza with can coke oooo nyama!

kpolli:

Bros, go to market and buy packs of each naija food.... Nothing dey here, everything sold here is chemically modified.... Buy them plenty... Sef if possible, bring only 3 shirts, one jeans, 5 underwears and the rest, foooooodddd!!!

kpolli: Kpolli doesn't eat seafood..... Plus I don't eat outside my house, I always feel sick when I eat this their food (except fast food)

Anthonymighty: mamacita bonita senorita...How u dey now. How's studies. Just wanna say Hi. keep up the good work

You can bring maggi or know cubes in other flavours like crayfish but not chicken. Make sure you wrap everything in newspaper then put them inside ziploc bags. Bring antibiotics.
Grounded egusi, dry pepper, grounded ogbono, dry fish, peppersoup mix, dry ede, plenty garri, if you like semolina, grounded crayfish, beans, ukazi, dont worry about dry leaves, theres spinach here that i use for all soups. Theres plantain, okro and white beans here. Pls dont bring okporoko so your roomate will not run away. llooolll

Bayo Adex: Hi all, I greatly appreciate d contribution of u guys and ladies on this forum. May God bless all. Pls I do ve a question for nairalanders already in d US. I have a B1/B2 visa already valid for 2 yrs however, I plan to file for change of status in america as I wanna attend houston community college. Pls has anyone here done that before? How is it done? I will like us to pls discuss. Thanks all and God bless

OjaP: I dare not say that again ma, I have learned my lessons .....lol. I feel so uncomfortable not talking to you on here for real.

This calls for celebration, let me now think of how I can get myself into trouble later tonight....#beautifulweekend #Yvetteforgivesme #sohappy #dancingazonto

Yvete:

God bless you too! If a change of status is that easy, students would not stress for F1 visas.

Are you aware that your authorized stay in the US is governed by the duration of stay marked on your I-94? Even if the US Embassy issues you a 2-year visiting visa, the Immigration Officer at the port of entry determines how long you can stay here. Say you are coming in for a wedding, and he stamps 3 weeks on the I-94 (you can apply for an extension, but on what grounds? Are you pregnant and cannot travel? What circumstances...?) You also need to explain to USCIS why your intentions changed from visitor to a prospective student. HCCS will NOT, NOT change your status and getting into a 4 yr University is not a days job. On a B1 visa, you cannot register for classes and claim domicile in the state of TX, no state ID, no drivers license ... go get a student's visa.

Albeit, I heard someone did it, but what if your application is denied? Do you think that the Embassy in Nigeria will issue a student's visa next time? I doubt it.

Adolite: @yvete, is a lucky(risk) try; four of my friends try it, one was lucky ,three were denied,now the three are regretting trying it because Nigeria Embassy have been denying them of F1 visa since two years ago.

Gelatoman: Hello House,

A friend called me that he'll like to start a Shawarma biz in Houston.....Having been to Nigeria for a year on a project.....he has tasted almost all the shawarwas in Lagos (mega plaza, best shawarma, nos 1 shawarma, etc) and he feels setting up an outlet in Houston wont be a bad idea........Pls what do you guys tink of this? Ive been to houston once....katy,richmond, san antonio etc....and ive never come across our own type of shawarma....
pls give ur honest opinion.

Anthonymighty: Imperiouxx I be omo eko full time. Eko o'ni baje o! What can I help u with and I'd glady do it. But hope u know I'm heading for boston.

Yvette omalicha nwa. Ata gingun is grinded peper o. Don't mind your language tutor. I could get u those stuffs but how will u get it ? Oya shalaye o!

I just hope I'll be able to feed well because I select food a lot, I don't eat onion, salad, cheez and the likes. God go help me sha.

PS. Sorry I am responding slow. I'm not at home and this my mobile surfing sucks

Isobutylene: Hi guys,I really appreciate you guys for providing valuable information on this thread. Now, I need advice from guys already in the States. I have been admitted into the University of South Carolina, Lousiana State University and University of Houston for a graduate program (PhD), with full tuition waver and assistantship. Now, I would like to know the best of these 3 in terms of cost of living,life in general (i.e.boring or lively) and relaxation centers. I do not trust my findings on the internet so I need a first-hand information from my fellow Nigerians. Thanks in anticipation.

moroh:
By the way, if you get admission into Stonybrook, holla at moi. All the best.

Isobutylene:
It's better you apply to more schools, I also applied to 12 schools,..so far I've gotten response from 5.Still expecting from other schools...but by God's grace your expectations on the remaining schools shall not be cut off!

imperiouxx: @winbyforce,

Please, let me know whatever the PhD school in Florida says. I will help you ask from another person too.
