Had to come back to Twitter to share a devastating news . This one hit close to home cos it happened to a very good friend. With his permission , and heavy heart …Nigeria is designed to kill you. The stories about Fulani herdsmen destroying people’s farmlands with absolute impunity and immunity is real . Very real . My friend’s over 40 acres of farmland was obliterated by Fulani herdsmen. He had hoped to retire his dad who has been in the US almost 30 years .

For those of you going to American embassy for your student visa interview , the KEY to passing is making sure you don’t give a reason for the consular to think you will be staying !
Here are some of the questions you’d be asked and how to answer them. You may be asked what you gonna be doing during the holidays. DONT ever say you’d be visiting a friend in a different state or whatever . Let the consular know you will be coming back home to spend it with your family . As you would have missed them .

I landed JFK as a 22 year old kid with just $50 in my pocket , a dream , and a desire to make the most of every opportunity.
Then I went on from working 3 jobs just to survive to working for the 2nd biggest bio pharmaceutical company on the planet. Most of us in diaspora got similar stories and even worse . We came with just a visa and a dream . Most with no family support , no rich parents or whatever . But we trusted the system to reward our hard work and it did.
