dustydee:You are already limiting yourself bro. Don't do this to yourself. At 38 years of age, i assume you have some work experience that would be valuable to any mba class. I have a friend with an mba from said business school of the uni of oxford, he got into that school in his mid 30s. He got straight into AFDB before graduation. He would have still been stuck in his first bank job if he limited himself with pessimistic thoughts of non admission due to age. The only challenge I see would be getting admissions due to competition from all over the world. These are mba programs that would 1000's of applications for maybe 50 seats. 1 Like |

salford1: The OP was asking if he can be admitted into school , in Nigeria there are no restrictions while abroad you won't be given a visa at 38 to study BSC even MSC in some schools. That said, there are sectors in Nigeria where old age is key, ask politicians and political appointees 1 Like |

salford1: foreign University or employers wont mentioned your age to you but most times you will be disqualified because of your age but you can get admitted into undergrad at 38 if you are a confident person who is passionate about your chosen degree but for jobs its very hard.lot of young guys with good experience are competing with you. For MBA programme, your age is right but you need to have a lot experience for you to be considered for admission. 3 Likes |

Pidgin2:You did not read my original reply...did you? I dont think the op mentioned anything about embassy too. |
Re: Lies Of Nigerians Living In America by salford1: 2:06am On Nov 01, 2017 |
Asper the embassy visa refusal raised..i dont know if age affects visa applications or not. I have come accross many old and young international students so I cant even say I have an idea on how embassies grants or refuse students visas. Applicants would be judged based on merits known to the visa officers. |

Thanks for your comments. I’m not here to argue with you. Here is my problem with us Nigerians, just because you’ve never experienced what I described does not make it a lie. Those who understand how department budgets are managed, know that you some latitude within your department’s budget or cost centers, as department head. America is a big country and not everyone works or lives in Silicon Valley. Most big companies have “location differential “ to account for the cost of living in certain areas. I only shared my story to say, that everyone’s story is different. Wishing you all the best.� 6 Likes |

Thanks for your comments. I don’t want to be known, I’m not here to brag about my standard of living. Most wealthy Americans don’t brag about what they have and you may be living next to a millionaire and not know. Humility is virtue that i’ve learnt over the years. I was sharing my story to say that everyone’s experience is different and we all take different paths. Education is not the only key to success, there are many ways to be successful in life. The fundamental keys to success never change: humility, kindness, honesty, perseverance, self confidence and faith in God. BTW: I’m very involved in mentorship programs here in the USA and in Lagos. I don’t care for accolades or recognition. David became King not the traditional way, but because God had pre-ordained him as king. He had to overcome many obstacles to become king, he was not a perfect king either. Wishing you all the best. Pidgin2: 8 Likes |

Thanks for your comments. It’s never too late to do anything in life. You have to weigh the cost vs. the benefits of an MBA. What’s your end goal? There are Executive MBA programs out there that might work for you. The following schools have very reputable Exec MBA programs: Cornell, NYU, University of Pennsylvania etc. Someone commented about you getting a student visa, which the Executive MBA can help you with. An Executive MBA program is for older and more experienced applicants. Good luck!!!! dustydee: 2 Likes |

Pasca07: When the govt enforced limits on cards why was there an outcry by many especially students abroad who relied solely on funds from their Nigerian links to survive, did anyone do the stats or maths on these category of people? Billions of dollars from Nigeria are lodged in American banks, many Nigerians pay thousands of $$$ to attend schools there, millions of Nigerians part with money for visas to US, Nigerians also pay millions of $$$ to receive treatment there, trust me Nigerians pump in more money into the US than the reverse but trust Americans to do stats where it involves their image as a God father, take note that America is more populated than us but millions of $$$ are received in America from Nigeria through the above channels 1 Like |

timesup234: It's funny all you've said, never once did you compare the situation to Nigeria, even if America isn't heaven, it's definitely not the same with Nigeria, real life isn't what you read online...why don't u go to America yourself and compare the difference? After all you'll always be a Nigerian, you can easily go back to ur country if u don't like what u see. But I feel it's very myopic comparing a life of 80k in Benin city to Any city in America; plus if America is really hell like ur family members have been deceiving u why haven't they returned to Nigeria? How can u confidently post facts from ur bedroom when u haven't go out to really explore the world? America isn't perfect; Nigeria isn't either...stop deceiving people, stay wherever works for u 3 Likes |

I don't think Nigeria is completely lost, there are a lot of people still making it there, very true...but trying to compare the two countries is really misleading, I wonder how u sleep at night doing this to people who u clearly know don't know better |

I haven't been to America but I don't know in God's name why someone will be so mad and envious of that opportunity-laden country or other Developed European countries. For instance, I am a freelancer in Naija here and 80% of my income is from America. There is opportunity and hope in such countries. I do love Naija so much but I can't join the bandwagon of people claiming this country is a sane place to live. Do you even know the percentage of people that are suffering in this country? Do you know how many people that stop me on the road and ask for money everyday? This issue is not even debatable at all. I am making a good money from my freelancing job, high enough to give me a good life in Naija. But do you know what, I am planning to leave this f*cked up county soon. I need to be in a stable environment and start planning for my unborn children... Moving to a place where I can make better use of my skills, make more money and live a good life. As a freelancer, I am even scared of the police because they will mistaken you for a yahoo boy and victimise you. Its time to stop arguing blindly. I love Naija but I love my life more... FYI: I am going on a vacation in the next couple of weeks from Money I earned while virtually living in America. I paid my travel expenses in just 2 days without even feeling it... tell me the percentage of legit working class Nigerians that can afford that?? 2 Likes |

fiendishghoul:Young man pack well. Success is not tied to education. Nothing gurantees success. Education in form of schooling even delays it. Just incase you dont know college educated Americans will need to keep working into their mid 70's in order to complete the debt circle they started in their 20's. Thats what will form the basis of my next post. You think you are debating a gala hawker? The figure is out there, go and do the research yourself. They will work almost into their 80's 1 Like |

Nadratan:Your post is for the brainwashed. There are more people suffering in America than Nigeria. America is a country filled with homeless and hopeless people. The net worth of Americans is tied to the value of their home they wont be able to afford till death. College educated Americans at the age of 35yrs are still living with their parents while the females sell their bodies to sugar daddies in europe in order to come up with the monthly $200 student loan debt. America infratructure is in a decaying state and illiteracy is rampant with very high suicide rate. The US. death rate is higher than that of Nigeria in figures, i can go on and on and on. America indeed is one overhyped shithole 1 Like |
