walex57: For those having problem with food in the US, this is my advise. If it doesn`t look farmiliar, do not eat it. If it does look farmiliar, be careful how much you eat. You will soon discover how unhealthy most fast food are and how negatively eating out can affect your health and your pocket. There are too many fat people here and its so easy to become fat here with all the junk and the rest of them. Here`s a few tip: In place of egusi, I use sun flower seed. I get that from whole food. You`ll never miss egusi again. When you buy rice, go for long grain perboiled ( Ha ha ha, i learnt the heard way). If you know someone with Sams club membership, you can get a box of long grain perboiled rice. Otherwise, buy the cheap perboiled long grain rice from walmark. For beans, not everything that looks like beans is really beans (learnt that too). Go for black eye beans in small sachets at walmart( its your regular white beans) Look for people who buy in bulk that you can share with. If you live in the MD area, I can be of help. Good luck. 1 Like |

To Support what Biofem2000 said, For Efo-riro, just buy collard greens or spinach (fresh or frozen) from walmart with all the tomatoes, red pepper, habanero (atarodo) etc and blend. If you dont have a blender, you can get a cheap blender from walmart to be blending your peppers instead of buying tomato sauce from walmart. As for the assorted meat, you can get kidney, shaki, regular beef,oxtail and the likes from walmart, HEB etc. If you have an African store nearby, goat meat and the likes can be gotten from there. Be careful with your palm oil usage as over time it can lead to a high cholesterol level. Use olive oil or canola oil and the taste still comes out the same if you are good at cooking. As regards eating out, even if you have to do fast food, go for options with lower fat in them like chicken sandwiches without the bacon and cheese etc. And if you can order wheat buns instead of white bread, that helps. Subway is a better option for fast foods. If you must eat out, order the healthier options on the menu and watch your portions. Dont eat too heavy so you wont have pot belly from all the carbs.. One more important thing, EXERCISE..Join agym if you can aford it...for the ladies, join a Zumba fitness class or Yoga or something... run around the tracks in your school if your school has one and most schools have a well developed fitness center you can go to for free..Get your heart rate up so that you wont end up on a wheel chair being pushed around cause you are too fat. 5 Likes |

Hey Guys. I have not been commenting for sometime. I was only doing the reading. So far; all the interview experiences shared...I noticed the VO all asked for GRE, SAT or TOEFL. But my school never asked me for that so I didn't do any of 'em. I am having an interview next month and I will like to know if that won't be a problem. I am going for Undergraduate studies. Will they still ask me for it because I noticed most of youz are for Masters. Kindly reply pls. Almighty imperioxxxx....I hail o. U too much. God bless ya 4 everything u have been doing here. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part3 by Anthonymighty(m): 8:29pm On Aug 17, 2012 |

imperiouxx: Just wondering why your friend did not post the experience himself and chose to send it to you in personal email since we usually encourage people to post their experience on the the thread be it good or bad. |

My Vicky: I have been a passive follower of this thread and I would like to appreciate all the nairalanders who have contributed meaningfully to this didactic thread. I had my interview at the US consulate general, on the 15th of August, 2012 and I would try to be brief about my interview experience. I earnestly pray that for those who have interviews afterwards, you will have success story to share. First, permit me say that just as many guys have said, the God factor can not be over-emphasized, you need the mercy and favor of God and I pray you have it in abundance on that day. Also, for first timers like myself, please ensure you have your photographs ready before your interview date cos those photographers near the embassy are out to drain you! Don't listen to anyone who offers to staple your documents for you, they will dupe you-the stapling will be done when you go in. I wouldn't advise you to arrive earlier than 1 hour before your appointment time else your precious time will be 'squandered'. Meanwhile, no two interview experiences are the same, i had to read Isaiah 50: 4-10 and it could be of help to someone. Now to my paraphrased interview proper: immediately my ticket no was displayed @ counter 1, I quickly walked up to the white guy there and.... Congrats and welcome aboard. Wish you a pleasant stay in the US. |
