hummm your village people should free you ooo .........pele . This would have been one stressful journey
Thankfully a lot of things are electronic so might be easier than previous years to retrive and get temp replacement . The school would be the best to guide you on how to sort out school matter and also opening bank account or other functions that needs a passport . You can only take it one step at a time and with time it resolves itself . Work closely with the school ... If you need a Visa stamp , then check canada or mexico after you get another Nigerian passport . That ticket might be cheaper than going to Nigeria . but that if you really need it
at the same time, contact all the places you went through Airtran , airport . Call them and ask for their lost and found section. Also stay in touch for up to 2 - 4 months and keep calling incase someone returns it ....... I once left a camera on the train , which was painful to me because it had pictures of my family visit . i left my contact with the train station and kept following up . 2 months later when i have forgotten about it , i got a call that the camera has been found. That only happened because i stayed in touch and left my details . I was so grateful because those pictures were not replaceable
All them this village people sha.. Already left my contact details with them and I'm hoping to hear good news from them. Thanks for the Canada and Mexico option, I really appreciate it. Yea, my school told me to show up so they can help me process few documents that I'll be using till I hv my new passport in case I didn't see it.. Thank you so much ![smiley](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/smiley.png) 1 Like |

Hi VO,complement of the season.

I filled my ds-160 myself and I was not aware of the information to put on the US Contact Information so I put a friend contact information and I even indicate that the relationship of the counter person is FRIEND instead of putting the school info.In this case what should I say if questions comes on it .
Looking forward to mind settling responds. |

PhD Opportunity in GIS at North Carolina state University.Hi all, I am recruiting a PhD student for our College's new PhD in Geospatial Analytics. This is a unique, new PhD program with a required internship. I am looking for a student interested in gaining geospatial analytic tools and applying them to health and built environment challenges. Three years funding at $25k. The student would be required to at least wrap-up a National Park webGIS project for us (first 6-9 months), but after that I am hopeful the student will take on webcam, image, machine learning, accelerometry, GPS, and/or citizen science work of their interest. There is a little further information here. Aaron --- J.

imperiouxx: Hello guys. I'm back from my 2.5 weeks vacation to Nigeria. I don't know internet is crazily slow in Nigeria like this I can count the number of times I was able to open few webpages successfully.... most times it's "Error: page cannot be found". It's discouraging to keep refreshing webpage except when it's school related.
Men, I see the reasons people thank God after getting the visa...... most people walking on the streets of Lagos are really angry..... they are not smiling because the country is not smiling at anyone anymore. Lots of gas stations with no gas. Uncountable hotels in every corner you go with lots of hustlers - girls of different shape Heavy traffic, smell of burning soot mixed with noises..... men, environmental pollution everywhere. Heat wave o! .... my first full day in Nigeria, I showered 5 times but with time I started getting use to it and my showering cuts down to 2 per day, sometimes I do 3. I experienced excessive sweating throughout my staying. But I'm glad that I was able to make enough visits to old places and friends.
The intriguing story: so we took our traditional and white wedding to Nigeria after 3.5 years of marriage in U.S. The event was colorful and fantastic....... Lagosismyhome, it seems you know..... how? Well, three days later, I met Ojap on WhatsApp. He asked for my full name, date and place where the wedding was held. Then he said he thinks his dad attended. He sent me a photo proof and in the photo is my mom, his dad and my aunty........ his dad is my mom's younger brother (extended family).... my uncle It's so funny that Ojap and I are family. Ojap is my good friend which I met here in 2011 and our friendship offline has been great. I see the reason it's good to be good to everyone. We don't know where or how we will meet tomorrow.

This option is limited only to students and exchange students who are within 60 days of their start date.

Does exist though , just a joke phrase While you might think it is a joke phrase Ma'am, a lot of Nigerians seem to think there are some kind of "dark forces" always working against them. And most of these forces are directed at them by their village people (euphemism for old, extended family members). I actually think it is an important discussion, which affects our psyche as a nation, but this is probably not the right thread for this dialogue. |
