You didn't get me correctly. I didn't say two people. I said couple of people and what i mean is that i know quite a number of people who camr to US with student visa and have green cards now, not two people. And as for other things you said, well i have nothin more to say. Lets just smwatch and see how things unfolds.

student better sef. 80% of those on tourist visas never came back, i once said it that more than 70% green card holders where once illegal immigrants, the system is soft about it. but if u commit crime b4 green card, you are on your own, na you and homeland securities go sort am grin

Lol. Guy, na for dubai before I go America I first had this same experience o. Na so I pee finish. I come tanda for there dey look like lucozade how I go take flush my pee o because na so the pee color well well. I come say haba, I be good Nigerian naa, how I go come use toilet for obodo oyinbo no come flush am. Because na so everything for inside the toilet dey shine. Na so I deeey oo. As I dey reson am, shey I go come sleep for hear now because of say I no see watin to press flush the toilet? I just vex take a step back wan start to dey comot. Na so I just hear the toilet flush all by itself o. I was shocked with surprise.

Now it's time to wash my hand after peeing. Haha again. Which kind wahala be dis. The tap no get handle where I go turn it on or off o. Na just only mouth sticking out eh get. I just stand dey look again but this time looking at a guy making use of the second tap next to me. Na so the guy just see me o. Chai. Which kind embarrassment be dis? I know for him mind, e go be like, see this village boy, he no sabi use ordinary tap. The guy just tell me say make I reach out my hand to the tap. Na so I put my hand forward o like say I dey bey the tap to give me something. The next thing na water I see running out and it automatically stopped as soon as I remove my hand. That was my first experience using such things.

Lol. the tap thing was functioning in Lagos international airport, seen that a couple of years back. it is even in big hotels.

some people dey fall hand sha, we know say Africa bad, but smart tv av been around for a while na. just that we dnt have good internet here. but i still connect with swift or spectranet. someone is even surprised about sensor on hand dryers, even cheap restaurants have this. haba, make we use our mind na, we know say naija nor good. smart tvs also allow you connect your smart phone to the tv wirelessly to stream movies, play games and the likes, but your phone must have wireless display. i do use it, just that when playing games like asphalt 8 it cracks. maybe obodo oyinbo own go perfect sha. my target is May, cold for don reduce

Check the following schools:

Memorial University of NewFoundland
Brandon University
University of Prince Edward Island
University of Manitoba

Memorial has a good program in oil&gas, computer science and other engineering course, the also offer entry scholarship for graduate program in any field. Truth be told, Masters admission in canadian universities are very tight. But then again, you can jumped through it without hassle. I hope you have a good grade in your undergraduate result.

University of Manitoba social science program are the best. Very cheap tuition as well.

Some of their colleges tuition fee is recession friendly grin

Can you pls explained what you mean by colleges tuition fees. Is it different from the university fees. I have browse through and they seems so so useful but I wouldn't mind if we can chat privately. Thanks

[quote author=sledjama post=52784544]

very short comment but riddled with ignorance, you are right by saying you are a village boy.

you just picked on/disrespected your country of birth by tagging her stupid.
Charity they say begins at home, if you can't show some respect to your country, how will you respect another man's

Nigeria is not the best country in the world, and sure isn't the worst.
"wherever" you think Nigeria is at the moment, It will one day get out of it.
Buhari may not be getting it right, but he is making efforts to and in the next 2 years
we may try another hand and someday, Trust me, we will get things right.
This i know because Rome or America wasn't built in a day.

If you Nigerian-Americans have any useful pictures to post, please post them and stop the boring stories already.
you are not the first to travel abroad sirs.

Why do Nigerians hate so much on themselves just look at what you typed "you are not the 1st to travel,did he beg you to click on this thread open and read up to this page, this is just somebody trying to open your eyes as per happenings around him .. Guy Nigeria is shit and will continue to be , @op u doing a good job abeg how far all those babes wey dey give u eye for church u never arrange them ,bless me with that ur sister s7 wey don crack make I repair am ,sell am grin

In a Nutshell, colleges tuition fee is cheaper than Universities unless you are given a scholarship which will cover half of your tuition or even a full ride scholarship. The above listed universities tuition fee is relatively cheap compare to other universities( I stand to be corrected).
Also, College admission is quite simple and faster than university. It all boil down to your prefrence and pocket, the kind of program you are putting in for and the province you would like to study.

Good news guys, my permanent residency card just arrived in the mail. grin

Happiness is too mild an adjective to describe how I feel right now,



Do you know what this entails?

This means the level of success I would attain in this country is directly proportional to the level of hardwork I put in. Nothing can dampen my enthusiasm for life at this moment. The sky is not just my limit, it's my stepping stone. cool

It is too expensive in Nigeria, hence, only large organizations go for unlimited data plans. well, Naija go beta.

Na the toilet I no know oh.

Yes. these things are in Nigeria. I know MM Airport does. I have also been to a couple of hotels out there that have these. The one that got me was last August when I came to Naija with family. I already told them about the power issues before we left. So that they are not surprised. We got off the plane and I had to use the bathroom right away. So, before we even got to the luggage area myself and my son saw the first men's room and went in. There was no working light in there at all...pitch dark! My son was just cracking up when I brought out my phone and turned on the flash light. LOL! The oyinbo man and other person that came in did the same thing. Crazy! I saw the maintenence guy on the way out, he said they are looking to replace the light bulbs. na wa o.

May God bless you bro. Im glad someone finally knows what i'm talking about. When i was sayin it they kept arguing as if i didnt know what i am sayin. Theres always a way here to get green card and as youve said bro, the most important thin is to stay clean and live normal while the card is being processed.

what kind of tv is that? ..

i dont know there are tv that have internet access..

or is it the cable that is connected to the internet..?

and how much do you pay for unlimited internet access a month ?


Bro, what im sayin is that theres a connecton to TVs here in US which also allows you to watch Youtube, Netflix and other online stuffs with the use of internet connection. I dont really know how the thing works cos im still new here and as for the unlimited internet access permonth, i heard it costs just 50 Dollars to do that. And you can connect any damn thing you wish to connect to the internet anytime. I use the internet for my phone and computer whenever im home.

Lol. This is a public forum na. Everyone codes. People that got lucky doing the normal thing will always preach that and i understand that. Mostly those that go on tourist get married or do the CM which i don't advice. But if u can get married, well fine, its the CM i really don't support. Most that do CM are either married here or have a committed relationship. But with Trump, we don't know what's gonna happen, how things will change!

To confirm what Frank earlier said, i also experienced it teo days ago when i went to the schl restroom. I discovered there was no button or anything to use to flush when you're done urinating so i just did my thin and was leavin and surprisingly, just after i took few steps backwards, i heard the flush sound and when i looked back, my pee was all gone truly. grin
