Chelseafan1:If you are a permanent resident you would be qualified to apply for a scholarship and/or loan. Maybe you can try some other less expensive school |

Chelseafan1:Harvard certificate is highly rated. Not just that, you are assumed to have acquired skills to be the best. You should expect rigorous screening. So if your faith can carry it, go for it. All things are possible with God. 1 Like |

1Rebel:Not many people would want to take out a $150,000 student loan anymore. With that type of loan, you will be a virtual indentured servant, who may not even be eligible t take out a mortgage. 3 Likes |

InvertedHammer:I love this comment. Though I am not in support of the average living condition in Nigeria, but whether in naija or in US, people make choices and these determine the standard of living. Someone in naija can buy a 50k picture frame and another can save it as living expenses for 2 months. Key word there is financial management. 4 Likes |

sholay2011: ![]() Whenever your friends are hosting a birthday dinner at a restaurant, better bring your own money. No one will pay for your meal, except if it's your sibling's birthday dinner. Even if your friend invites you to hangout at a restaurant, you will also need to bring your own money. That's how this society works 18 Likes 1 Share |

CFCman:You are very right. But note that this my church member is a 'correct' Nigerian oh, bred and buttered in Lagos. She just decided to take advantage of the 'system' in my opinion. ![]() I mean, I was just ordering smoothie and snacks, left and right. I also noticed I ordered the most among all of us while we all played card games. I didn't know ignorance was worrying me. Thank God it didn't result into stories that touch. ![]() 13 Likes |
