Looool nairaland is a funny place, no wonder they dont like Twoods
If you tell them the truth, it's bad energy and someone who never enter america go dey tell you wetin dey happen for there.

They will say its dumping personal problems on people because you gave them advice

Lool
The end will justify...

Hmmmmmm, the same Twoods that quoted my old moniker that year and labelled me a failure bacause I had a low Gp from Nigeria?, telling me I'm unserious for graduating with 2.8 while my mates are getting 4.5 and above without knowing my situation and what I passed through in school?, the same twood that openly criticise everyone not applying to havard and MIT as less privileged?,
Abi the same twood (anti-migrant) of that time that will openly tell people including me that they will not get visa as if he is the consular General?,

I wish he is still active here so that I can show him my 4.0/4.0 cgpa ( all A's) in last semester.

Back to the topic. Life doesn't have a perfect manual, every theories and models been used today were some people's trial and error in the past which eventually worked for them before it became a model.


Sometimes, you let people figure out circumstances by themselves. If it works, they win. It it doesn't, they learn from it

I’m in America and I think you’re not making sense.

Let people come and get the education they need. If they don’t get to stay in America an American education will still open several doors.

PS: In the end, it's America's loss. Free education and Stipend with their taxpayers' money, and then you send us out after working for one or three years. We use the certificate and work experience to move to Canada and then grow their economy. Do you think it will take them forever to figure out how disadvantaged that kind of arrangement is to them? Think about that for a minute.

Check top companies and top schools, a sizeable percentage of those running these establishments are immigrants. They know this and this is why they spend millions bringing people in every year. They want to keep innovating, their kids don't like school, so they spend millions bringing people like you and I over here every year.

You way over estimate the Nigerian contribution to America. America was a world super power since the 1940s, we were still a British colony at the time. Do the math... only a tiny fraction of F1 students get their education fully paid for, the rest pay hundreds of thousands of dollars into the US economy. Just because America chose not to keep you doesn’t mean it turned everyone else away... many stay on EB1A B or EB2 NIW visas. It needs only 1 or 2 Elon Musk’s...

We are the economic beneficiaries of the US immigration system, not the other way around. We are not here to “grow” the US and Canadian economies. Their economies were already great, that’s why we came here, not Sudan. Let’s call a spade a spade. If we are that great at growing economies, perhaps we should start with our own.

You are a real man. I mean, the negative energy is becoming too much and it seems some of us (i wont quote anyone) are dumping both their personal problems on us.

Why the statement -real man? So the other is not? You have to be humble to learn, thereby sifting the grain from the chaff. The US is great, and so are other countries. If you don't plan very well, evaluate your present and future expenses, you will bemoan in this country. If you don't have a full ride, and you are unsure of how your expenses can be met, I will advice you to go to another country. There are top schools in France, and others whose tuition fee per year is less or equal to 300 euros. These are English taught programs. You can always return to the US if you wish to, especially if you've acquired a Phd from these institutions. There are various visa types like the L, J, G and others that can give you this convenience. You have to open your eyes to see. In the prophetic, the US will not be the center of attraction very soon given the abuse of power from political heads in the country.

Their economies were already great, that’s why we came here, not Sudan. Let’s call a spade a spade. If we are that great at growing economies, perhaps we should start with our own.

Nigerians are equally; if not overly qualified for EB1, Eb2 NIW, check the stats of Nigerians earning Ph.D. (even if it's to maintain status, they still get the degree regardless) And you don't get to find 1 or 2 Elon Musk by "shopping" for 1 or 2 1 Elon Musk.

You open doors for people you consider prospects, and then you might be lucky to have 1 Elon from a thousand "wannabe Elon". And when you say they need just one Elon musk, you made it sound like Elon musk discovered Physics or Fluid Mechanics and he conducts all of the research in that field.

His business relies on hundreds of thousands of Ph.D. hours, slaving away in labs, people who will forever remain nameless, to you and several other people. But then Elon and the American Government know this as well, so no point arguing on the massive contribution of immigrants to American economy. Africa is equally important in the discussion because we have the most incentive for migrating. China and India? They're growing, and most people will not consider leaving from those countries in 20-30 years from now.

You're wrong when you say we're not here to "grow" their economy, you almost contradicted yourself, if you know there are several people paying millions to get the American education, then it's safe to say they contribute significantly to the economy of the country? right? Also, take note that most of us are cheap labor to the American economy, we work 20hours, in remission of our tuition and a small stipend, without benefit and all the risk that comes from hiring a full-time employee; free up resources to do something else; again, we help grow this economy.

Yes, WE should grow our economy.

Hello everyone, good evening/morning. I appreciate you all for a great job done here thus far. I’m new here, and I’d like to ask some questions....

I just got admission into Texas tech Uni (department of political science).. I got an offer as a TA to online graders. The assistantship comes with a stipend of $10,000 for the period of 9 months (which I can’t really make sense of)...

The admission and offer came few hours ago.. I wish to seek your individual opinion, based on experience overtime about the funding (check attached), before sending a mail to the graduate coordinator.

Thanks

Nice!

I got an offer from TTU but it wasn't this great. Just out of state tuition waiver and $2K.

I am hoping for something better. Are you an MS or PhD candidate?

TWoods:


Your point being?

The point is, people here should not let someone who felt they are the best in the world,
who felt they are the most qualified,
who felt they are better than the consular at the embassy,

who felt they are the most honest Nigerian while the rest are fraud,
who felt you are a failure if you don't good GPA,
who felt you must be admitted to top schools,
who felt they have the best model for f1 visa,
who felt they can decide who gets visa or not at the embassy to decide Thier lives and future for them.

If I'm to live by your harsh judgement and model on me in 2018, I won't even apply to schools let alone nearing the embassy and getting visa and studying in a TIER 2, GOOD RANKED university in the USA.


You were literally good at writing people off, demoralised people and make people think it's either they are like you are they Bleep off.

Now that I have your attention, I will send you a dm, reply it and I will forward shots of my last cgpa to you.


The same person you tagged a failure two years ago cos I made 2.8/5.0 is here making all A's in arkansas.



Personal statement to every applicant here.

Don't ever!!!, I repeat, don't ever let anyone write you off or tag you a failure because of your circumstances. There is room for everyone to study in the USA even with your third class, yes you heard me right. There are schools in USA offering conditional admission to 2.0/4.0 GPA if your have good profile in other admission parameters aside the cgpa.
one day, I will post an exclusive writeups on how to achieve and get good school admission with your circumstances

Waoh, you need to see the way I dropped my phone and I'm clapping for you here. The bolded really touched me. Like the popular saying, " you aren't a failure because people tagged you as one, you are failure when you accept their tag and see yourself as one".

I truly remember the 2018 period. I think the part 12 of this thread to be precise, the dude was busy lording over the thread, deciding who qualifies for the visa and who weren't. I'm glad you built something from the stones thrown at you. I celebrate you bro.

I have some time sitting at an airport to respond to a few of you so why not...

Hmm lording over the thread? Precisely what does that mean? You mean making an opinion you had all the freedom in the world to ignore?

Here’s the problem... you’re simply a bunch of superstitious zealots. A post on a forum is not a stone thrown at you... they are merely empty words, get over yourself.

TWoods:


Ok? Anything more earth shattering you would like to share?

Next you hypocrites will be offering “testimonies”. Lol!

Of course our testimonies will come, and it will be "no thanks" to you.

Oddy16:


Oh yes! I will remember and share more. I thought the guy was exaggerating till you replied him. You are really a venom. You will really enjoy killing dreams. I hope it makes you happy? Be sure it makes you happy so that it will be all worth it for you. Again, you are an a**hole. No need painting words.

If a faceless forum member who you’ve never met and who has zero access to you, is able to “kill your dreams” (whatever that means), then you are the problem.

Yeah sure... you should get a hold of a bible and read it first before claiming “testimonies”... you all make Nigerian “Christians” look like the hypocrites they are.

Welldone to you for defining your own future ..... loved reading this journey post , some times second chances do happen

Words are powerful!!! I can only imagine what the OP felt after reading TWOODS reply then. 2yrs after he still makes reference to it. Another person might have stopped there.

The forum might be faceless, but our words can affect lives.

In this same faceless forums, people get help that transforms their future for the best, advice and encouragement to push still, and you think a dream cannot be killed here? So all your intelligence and ITK didn't tell you that?

All being said, I think the likes of TWoods & co are part of those painting the country bad. Yes, he contributed to the present predicament that we are facing now. I'm very sure he told the VO that he would be returning to Nigeria after his studies but instead to stay true to his promise, he decided to follow the fastest lane...funny enough he's still same person agitating for a ban to prevent others from getting in... Talk of kettle calling pot black? That's a hypocrisy of the highest order

TWoods:


Congrats on making straight As. You should have done that at the first time of asking but better late than never. There are millions of Americans and other immigrants here making straight As. My youngest brother is a plastic surgeon here... I don’t need your grades. Been there, done that. My best advice would be that you focus on your school and future... you’ve still got a long way to go. It seems you spent the last 2 years allowing me to live rent-free in your head. Not good.

The irony of it all is that you’re not much different from what you claim to denounce. You made straight As, now we won’t have a moments sleep. You now feel entitled to post lengthy screeds. The hypocrisy. Take a look in the mirror...

I just did that, I looked at my self in the mirror and I'm proud of myself oga Ade. Take just 5mins of your time to look through my old posts on this thread.

I never wrote off anyone like you did,
I never labelled anyone a failure like you did,
I never told anyone they were visa fraud like you did,
I never told anyone they won't make it like you did,
I never told anyone they won't get visa like you did.
I was never bittered about anyone like you did.
instead, I have helped a lot of people with low undergraduate cgpa like me to believed in themselves that they can always get a better second chance if they are dedicated to make it happen.
instead, I have coached, guided and had series of motivation and mocks with folks here to help them achieve Thier American dreams.

I'm much different from you.

P.s, this is the last mention you will get from me.
peace out

This guy is Nigeria's problem ;

If you mistakenly come back to naija, you might never go back ooo. So just stay there lolzzzzzzzz
