Boarded a local flight from Houston to my destination, but my luggage isn't there yet. Do I have any reasons to worry? All I have but my travel documents, are in those two boxes.

If you flew with American Airlines, they will deliver it to your domestic address in less than 24 hours. In fact you can even track it on their website. Hope you complained and they took your info.

I am a first time testimony on this. It just happened to me two days ago..

Well let me assist you. You were denied visa because bla bla bla and for you to get your visa the thing to do is bla bla bla. Practice some bla bla bla and with when the vo ask u questions regarding the school, please bla bla bla. If you are asked why you chose the course and how it will be of benefit to you when you are back to Nigeria, just bla bla bla. I believe with this few points of mine, I have convinced or rather confused you that your visa will be issued straight up. Mmtttccchheewww. The thunder wey go soon slap some bla bla bla candidates still dey honeymoon. Make e return.

I need your help and steps to take also I need your help in this area which is can I apply with my HND upper credit or the PGD that I just finish last year in National Open University of Nigeria my fear is that is NOUN recognized over there?

Noun is recognised all over the world. There are a lot of people on this thread that has gotten their visa that are graduate of Noun. Don4ye is a living testimony.. So no need panicking.

Just passing by. I'm slowly getting over the culture shock, life has been beautiful. yesterday marked a week since I got to my school. I'll do a brief review of my stay so far. Can't believe I've only been in America for a week, it's like I left Nigeria decades ago. This is not me badmouthing or bashing my country but Nigeria sucks big time. From the leaders to the common citizens, darn... you people are rotten from top to bottom. Forget corruption now, I'm talking about the general behaviour of a person. People are so nice where I live, I can't even start to explain. It's like a general, unwritten rule here that YOU MUST BE KIND TO OTHERS. I'm loving it and trust me, it's new to me. May God forgive me, whenever someone does something nice to me here, I secretly think they're just pretending but I'm slowly getting to know it's just their nature. 2 ladies offered to chauffeur me around yesterday (for free and it lasted about 4 hours), one gave me $100 cos my stupid bank card stopped working, the other paid for my walmart shopping: $150. They even took me to lunch and paid over $25 for the food after they had helped me set up my apartment! They were so nice!

School starts today, I expect it to be the only downside of my stay here hehe. I don't like school so I don't expect it to be fun. Right across my window, on the other side of the road is a branch of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. I'll go there next week and see what they have to offer. I learnt those church people can epp person with some ogbonge package (read between the lines, don't dull). To all the efikos in the building, I'll have something for you tomorrow when my lectures start.

My accent has been a barrier so far. I speak well but I'm torn between trying to speak like them (hoping it would help them understand me better) and speaking with my Lagos boy accent (this is really convenient for me but harder for them to understand what I'm talking about). I'm confident this is going to fix itself with time, I'm not bothered one bit. Understanding them is no biggie for me. I grab all they say 100% and I've not told anyone to "come again" for over 5 days. I'm even helping you people out here, telling them nice things about Nigeria and Nigerians. Saying we listen more than we speak, don't talk while eating, raise kids to be respectful, help the elderly, etc.

On girls... *sigh* This is my favourite part. If there's any guy here who doesn't know how to talk to/woo/toast girls. LOL... don't worry, you're going to be blown away here. In Lagos, I couldn't start a conversation with a girl to save my life. Twitter, FB, BBM, Whatsapp... I was a guru. I knew the right things to write in a chat to get a girl to like me beyond words but when it comes to talking to a stranger face to face and trying to get her to at least part away with her atm card pin phone number, omo... it's been a disaster so far. It only worked for me like 5 times out of 50 attempts. I used to think my game was weak, now I know it's the nonsense girls in Lagos. Stupid girls who think being rude shows class. I'll talk more about girls later.

I get mad whenever someone tries to post a transcript, hides some information for reasons best known to them and people launch attacks on the poster because of it. Listen, it's better to ignore this post if you have nothing to say about it cos I'm angry and I'll give you a very aggressive clapback if you try to say nonsense to me. Have you ever heard of privacy? Where were you when one NLer was digging someone's information up after a little misunderstanding, posting personal email addy, pictures, full names and saying loads of crap about the person, threatening to get him into trouble? To those posting their school names, house address, phone numbers, etc. good for you, some people aren't that free when it comes to sensitive information, you should respect their decision. There's always an immature kid somewhere who's going to fccukk you up with these info someday if you ever have a clash. You Nigerians need to chill, calm down, life is not so serious!!!

No matter how bad a poster is, there are kind ways of replying!!! You don't make them feel bad. I'll give an example. The last poster wrote "Name of School: Bla Bla", a mature answer would have been: "what's the name of the school?" or "I think the school you chose could have been a factor, do you mind telling me the name?". Kindness is not going to kill you! what if he applied to a low rank school and didn't want you people to laugh at him because of the nonsense attitude I'm complaining about? you complain that Nigerians aren't as helpful as the Indians, check yourself first! People are different I always tell you, everyone isn't on your level (whatever level you're on). If you can't help someone without robbing them of their confidence with your itk aggression and insults, simply ignore their post and move on. I have asked these whites the most stupid questions ever, they didn't insult me, they helped! The other day, someone was asking for tips cos of a 1.73 cgpa, some were laughing while some people tried to help. Do you know how hard some people try to succeed but end up not succeeding? No matter what someone's situation is, encourage them or just ignore if you can't! Ignoring a post is free, learn how to do it.

I'm not encouraging or discouraging "incomplete transcripts" as you call it, I'm only saying you should relax, be respectful and more understanding. Some people don't know half of what you know, don't make them feel bad about it. Simple

If you can't help, ignore the post.

To buttress HelkayKlassic's basis.

NOUN certificates are of international standard. The only difference which can be noticed between NOUN and conventional universities is their mode of studies. In term of studies, you take responsibilities for your studies, unlike in conventional academic institutions, where they mostly depend on lecturers for lectures.

However, a lot of students has raised unnecessary and extrinsic concern about the validity and acceptability of NOUN certificate. One thing, should be clear and that is, the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) is a well-recognized academic institution, which is solely owned and funded by the Federal Government of Nigeria, and regulated by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

Regards.

A big hands for you bro
I guess this forum was meant for people to ask questions about what they didn't know or understand, but come to think of it some people will rather insult you than assist you, according to what you said bro you are right and that's why we have individual diffences, some people might like to keep some info about them unsaid and thats what will call privacy lo, be kind and always have it in mind helping other's make life beautiful
Enjoy your stay in USA and i wish you success in your study IJN.

No matter how bad a poster is, there are kind ways of replying!!! You don't make them feel bad. I'll give an example. The last poster wrote "Name of School: Bla Bla", a mature answer would have been: "what's the name of the school?" or "I think the school you chose could have been a factor, do you mind telling me the name?". Kindness is not going to kill you! what if he applied to a low rank school and didn't want you people to laugh at him because of the nonsense attitude I'm complaining about? you complain that Nigerians aren't as helpful as the Indians, check yourself first! People are different I always tell you, everyone isn't on your level (whatever level you're on). If you can't help someone without robbing them of their confidence with your itk aggression and insults, simply ignore their post and move on. I have asked these whites the most stupid questions ever, they didn't insult me, they helped! The other day, someone was asking for tips cos of a 1.73 cgpa, some were laughing while some people tried to help. Do you know how hard some people try to succeed but end up not succeeding? No matter what someone's situation is, encourage them or just ignore if you can't! Ignoring a post is free, learn how to do it.

I'm not encouraging or discouraging "incomplete transcripts" as you call it, I'm only saying you should relax, be respectful and more understanding. Some people don't know half of what you know, don't make them feel bad about it. Simple

If you can't help, ignore the post.


Ma G!!!
its been busy here so i have not been able to come on to NL in 5 days and we already on Part 10
anyways, your post make sense die because that was exactly my experience, two guys picked me up on my first day in town and drove me around town for hours, got my AT&T line and other stuff. The day i wanted to shop, it was one guy in my program who picked me in his car and walked around the shop with me till i was done shopping. and on another day, one lady picked me up, took me to the mall and that day, GTbank ATM decided to fail. the lady paid my $56 grocery bill immediately with her card.
like you said, politeness is like an unwritten code. i should continue writing but my new British friend i met here is waiting for me at the mall.
will continue when i return.

Got a question for guys in school or that have admission....

When the schools say 'academic LOR', must the person be someone that has lectured you before? Or is one free to get from any other Prof or Dr not necessarily in one's school? I am asking because I finished BSc 10 years ago and all my lecturers are either demised or AWOL. But I have got other Profs from other schools happy and ready to give me LOR.

Please any response?

Just passing by. I'm slowly getting over the culture shock, life has been beautiful. yesterday marked a week since I got to my school. I'll do a brief review of my stay so far. Can't believe I've only been in America for a week, it's like I left Nigeria decades ago. This is not me badmouthing or bashing my country but Nigeria sucks big time. From the leaders to the common citizens, darn... you people are rotten from top to bottom. Forget corruption now, I'm talking about the general behaviour of a person. People are so nice where I live, I can't even start to explain. It's like a general, unwritten rule here that YOU MUST BE KIND TO OTHERS. I'm loving it and trust me, it's new to me. May God forgive me, whenever someone does something nice to me here, I secretly think they're just pretending but I'm slowly getting to know it's just their nature. 2 ladies offered to chauffeur me around yesterday (for free and it lasted about 4 hours), one gave me $100 cos my stupid bank card stopped working, the other paid for my walmart shopping: $150. They even took me to lunch and paid over $25 for the food after they had helped me set up my apartment! They were so nice!

School starts today, I expect it to be the only downside of my stay here hehe. I don't like school so I don't expect it to be fun. Right across my window, on the other side of the road is a branch of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. I'll go there next week and see what they have to offer. I learnt those church people can epp person with some ogbonge package (read between the lines, don't dull). To all the efikos in the building, I'll have something for you tomorrow when my lectures start.

My accent has been a barrier so far. I speak well but I'm torn between trying to speak like them (hoping it would help them understand me better) and speaking with my Lagos boy accent (this is really convenient for me but harder for them to understand what I'm talking about). I'm confident this is going to fix itself with time, I'm not bothered one bit. Understanding them is no biggie for me. I grab all they say 100% and I've not told anyone to "come again" for over 5 days. I'm even helping you people out here, telling them nice things about Nigeria and Nigerians. Saying we listen more than we speak, don't talk while eating, raise kids to be respectful, help the elderly, etc.

On girls... *sigh* This is my favourite part. If there's any guy here who doesn't know how to talk to/woo/toast girls. LOL... don't worry, you're going to be blown away here. In Lagos, I couldn't start a conversation with a girl to save my life. Twitter, FB, BBM, Whatsapp. I knew the right things to write in a chat to get a girl to like me beyond words but when it comes to talking to a stranger face to face and trying to get her to at least part away with her atm card pin phone number, omo... it's been a disaster so far. It only worked for me like 5 times out of 50 attempts. I used to think my game was weak, now I know it's the nonsense girls in Lagos. Stupid girls who think being rude shows class. I'll talk more about girls later.
hey sureboy,welcome to America,my only advise to u is just be careful with girls,I see u like them just like I do but some situation has taught me to be laid back..I will give u 2 instances,a room mate of mine last semester brought this girl home,we started talking and she fell for me,after sometimes we made out,I lost interest the next semester and moved on and told my room mate that I'm done.i didn't know my room mate had a thing for this same girl despite been in a serious relationship,on this fateful day,he used his gf's ride to go pick this girl up,gave her some liquor and took her to a calm street and made out with her in the car,after that night he didn't call or replied the girl's text,the girl felt used and went to the cops in the school to report that she was raped by my room mate,the cops came to the class to arrest my room mate with cuffs(what an embarrassment if u ask me) coz class was on-going,so he explained his side of the story to the cops and was granted bail and told to always report to the station while investigation was still on-going,during one of his visits to the station he showed the detective in-charge all the texts the girl was sending to him,just to prove a point to the cops that the girl was the one coming after him,but guess what?as at last semester,the school authority held a panel with the girl's mother in attendance shedding tears,the school later passed judgment that my room mate is guilty and expelled him from school,now the govt has taken over the case and he will face charges as we speak,he is hopeless coz he is the only one here..

The other Naija guy I met where I was working had the shock of his life when he got a call from his school official telling him that he was accused of rape and his Sevis has been terminated just like that..according o what he told me,he said the girl involved was a girl he met at a party took her home and they made out,he didn't hear from the girl until his school official called to notify him..

This is just to keep the long story short,like someone on the forum initially advised,no one is here to kill ur zeal for girls,they are everywhere,u just have to be careful..me Sef na lead city boy and God bless me with small good looks and I be small celeb for my school (been on billboard and mags) but even when girls come hanging I'm always very careful..I'm not saying this to discourage u but I just want u to becareful,ordinarily I barely post here but my conscience will prick me if I don't let u and others know what's up with them girls here..stay safe..welcome to America ..peace
