Where’s everyone? 2014 was just like yesterday… really time flies. Can’t believe I was waiting to get itted to Uniben then and now I’m wrapping up my PhD.

MISTAICEY02288:


Alright Boss. Makes sense, and good luck with that...

But why? Why did you leave the USA and back to Nigeria… right back where you were running from? No h1b?

May asakel soul rest in peace

Is he dead? How?

mamagee3:

I live in Richmond, TX

Maybe we can hang out sometime.

Richmond? That sounds like Houston area. I’m in San Marcos. We could chat

Athemisia:

He is the king of the Itsekiris not everyone in Warri. There are three (3) kingdoms in Warri with three different monarchs. He is just one of them.
Okumabga kingdom
Abgarha kingdom
Itseriki kingdom.

Dont be st.u.pid. okumagba layout is just a quarter (a street) in warri. Can't be a kingdom. They call them idimi sobo. Those are mushroom kingdoms. There is only one king in warri and delta.... that is Olu of warri

allenken7:
Since July 1st 2021 Wes sent my documents back to my school. They said they didn't see my documents. I am confused, anyone from uniben with this experience.

Hi Allen. If you know someone in the uniben exams and records office, tell them to assist you. U may need to pay. I attended uniben, so I know the process is hectic.

Can you tell me the process on how to start WES USA evaluation for a Masters program in US? Do I need to submit my transcript and certificate only on the WES website? What documents does my undergrad university need to send? I am a bit confused.

Omo royalty is sexy.
If only royalty could be bought I'd have gotten His Royal Highness Obong of Calabar that's the highest Royal tool in Southern Nigeria followed by Obi of Onitsha before Oba of Benin!
Chai power sweet!

Check Google b4 u talk anyhow. Who knows calabar?

generalwo:
.... Na all these kind statements dey cause tribal war...... Who ask u who own warri? Na that one the head line talk? I am not from delta but delta is a home to different tribes...itsskiri ijaw, urhobo... They are all owners of warri... Leave it at that!

If u are not from there, then keep shut. U dont know the history of the place. Itsekiris own warri. Im from there. Itsekiris are small so alot of other tribes encroach into their areas

3minssex:


Stop saying rubbish. I don't even know why people are calling him Olu of warri.

He's Olu of Itsekiri not Olu of warri!
Urhobos and ijaws are more than Itsekiri in warei, and they don't call their kings "king of warri" or stuff like that.

U go just open ur mouth waaaaaaaa dey talk wetin sweet u

Kingray10:

Don't let me call you a fool, because you are talking like one.

Stfu! Are u from warri? What's your LGA?

weyreypey:
See what Nigerian youths are discussing? No creativity no innovation nothing novel .... The whole educational systems needs to be unbundled.....it is producing reprobates majorly

Yet u haven't produced anything... not even a toothpick

Gambit23:

about jaja of opobo and nanna of itsekiri. We had most ibos as slaves""

Mufu, Jaja of Opobo was never a slave to any Nigerian tribe, For u to claim him as ur slave means u are a grossly misinformed dullard, dont even vomit that fallacy again..



""Reno Omokri provided castings from bini and itsekiris showing ibos as their slaves""


I can see that u are a very backward mentally,
For starters are u Bini? How can a useless Itsekrir man called reno scream that Itsekiri had IGBO slaves and we blasted him for evidence, He got scared and started ing bini bronzes ......The bronze video he ed shows IGBOs once fought battles with bini people as best (which is a recorded fact, goan read about Idu wars, u will quickly discover that IGBOs were an integral part of the bini kingdom). Idu wars was a war between IGBO settlers in bini kingdom and a Bini king and the war caused many IGBOs from idu to start returning home, most of them settled in Anioma and Asaba and the remnants returned to onitsha and other parts of IGBO land. (Recheck those bronze images, they look like warriors).

The returning Man named Eze chima came back n formed onitsha with his wife who was a Bini woman.



""why we have you in castings as slaves"c

Dont be silly, the video was castings of a wounded person, probably a soldier who fought in those battles.



'Did you know itsekiris chief dore numa was the only man from Niger delta to sign for everyone in south leading to the 1914 almagamation?"

Be quiet, he was a useless slaves to the whites and he never signed amalgamation for the IGBOs because the IGBOs never accepted the amalgamation and therefore refused to come to the event. Goan read up, Obong of calabar was among the people who signed the almagamation, so dont blah that an unknown and inconsequential Itsekiri man signed anything on behalf of IGBOs.




Next time dont ever wikipedia as a proof to anything, Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia where anyone can and edit articles.

I never said jaja of opobo was a slave, I was saying you must of read tales of nana of itsekiri who fought wars. I just went ahead to list jaja of opobo as another individual you must know in history books too because it seems you are not informed about other tribes, it's obvious.

However, I have to stop arguing with you because you're overly emotional in this issue. I really pray and hope you ibos get biafra, but know that no inch of niger delta region will ever be a part of that biafra. No inch, not again! Ibos need to be put on a tight leech, and that's why we the binis and itsekiris used them as slaves, even fulani are still using them today as slaves. Goodluck and bye slave

Gambit23:





""strength of the itsekiris and bini are not in their numbers so dont be deceived""

Itsekriri population both in the 19th century and today represents 1% of the IGBO population, And every IGBO community is over 3 times the Itsekiri so there's no way they would have ventures into IGBO land to raid villages to take slaves, it is impossible. The IGBOs actually fought the europeans(with their guns) for 32 years before we fell, that's the longest time it took the British to conquer anyone anywhere in Africa. If Itsekiri ever ventured into IGBO land, they wouldn't be in existence today. Pls Itsekiri had no strength, They never defeated anyone in war and there was never a record anywhere that Itsekiri fought with IGBOs, show get size abeg.




""first educated king and individual in sub saharan Africa""

Can u show any proof to this?

If you ever went to school, you must have been taught about jaja of opobo and nanna of itsekiri. We had most ibos as slaves back then because of our direct relationship with the Portuguese and then British. Most African history are generally undocumented so it may not be obvious today. Reno Omokri provided castings from bini and itsekiris showing ibos as their slaves, the onus is now on you and others to show a counter Proof and perhaps, explain why we have you in castings as slaves.


You are one of those who think only ibo, yoruba and hausa are the only tribes in Nigeria. This tone is all over your scribblings, but today you will learn new things.

Read the first paragraph and explain to yourself how itsekiri was able to dominate the 15th century with Antonio Dom Domingo ... the king of warri, first educated in sub saharan Africa. There are lots of books on it bro

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olu_Atuwatse_I

Did you know itsekiris chief dore numa was the only man from Niger delta to sign for everyone in south leading to the 1914 almagamation?

U go learn new things today

Gambit23:



"That article also tells you the urhobo, isoko, okpe numbers about 200k"

Which article did u pick this from? From my screenshots??


'Ijaws have no documented history even as far back as 1900, do u think they dont exist then?

Ijaw had history from 1900s.



'the urhobo, isoko, okpe numbers about 200k... today those people are over 10million"

10 million people? Where exactly are they , Urhobo and Isoko are mainly found in delta state and delta state population is 4 million max. The remainder of them are found in smaller population in Edo and Bayelsa (they are minorities there)....so pls tell me where those 10 million urhobo, isoko ekpe are.



And IGBO population was 3.9 million in the early 1900s...And not 500k

Look at the last line of the image below(though I made a mistake saying 200k, they're actually 300k... read that article a long while)

Ijaws have no documented history about their existence. It's a known fact. Can you bring articles from renowned authors in the 19th century about them? Dont bring hungry bloggers doctored posts here bro.

How many ijaws vs urhobo/isoko/okpe have you met? I can tell you for a fact that you have met more urhobo/isoko/okpe. If wikipedia is saying ijaws are 15million, the urhobo/isoko/okpe will not be far from 10million bro. How many people are in bayelsa? It's like you have not been there

Where did you get the info that ibos are 3.9m in 1920? Even more than yorubas? Again, cite articles from renowned authors and not hungry bloggers! Yorubas are more than ibos by some margin!

Gambit23:


Itsekiri population was around 30k in the 19th century, this means that Itsekiri is an offshoot of another bigger tribe.

If Itsekiri were 30k in the 19th century, Then it becomes obvious that they might be just 3000 people or less 400 years ago, or better still they never existed in the 1500s.




Itsekriri are most closely related to yorubas

Dont act dumb bro. Growth dont work like that in those eras. That article also tells you the urhobo, isoko, okpe numbers about 200k... today those people are over 10million. Ibos in those era shouldnt be more than 500k. We are only seeing huge population growth because of better standard of living.


Ijaws have no documented history even as far back as 1900, do u think they dont exist then?

Gambit23:



U mean this Itsekiri?

Man, the strength of the itsekiris and bini are not in their numbers so dont be deceived. They had great influence then, and the itsekiris have the first educated king and individual in sub saharan Africa. They have direct links with British and with just a maxim gun, they can capture all ibos. Did you know lugard used only two maxim guns to defeat the war-hungry fulani tribe?

Femoje:

Then show me prove if they existed 1500 years ago

Google "itsekiris in the 16th century" and you will see alot of articles. Dont be lazy, do the work yourself. A prince from benin came around 1480 to establish warri kingdom but you must know that the itsekiris were already existing in gborodo, jakpa, omadino, ogidigben etc before they rallied under a "prince" from bini. Try get sense na

Femoje:


You should understand that the Benin kingdom were already established long before 1800's and the kingdom created other small group like the itsekires.

Itsekiris even existed before 1500 bro. Just be mute if you dont know history

Femoje:
The Bini was never in partnership with the Itsekiris, rather Itsekiris was the Bini Subject (slaves) just as the igbos. Reno is trying to paint his people as a potential rulers along side the Binis, which was not so. Benin empire conquer all region in the South-south and south-southwest.

Una go just dey talk wetin sweet una. Look the image below and explain it to ursef in the language u understand. The author of the article is a renowned historian

Chris525:
Even the Itsekiris were under the Bini. Reno is being smart by half for saying the Itsekiri and the Binis. It was actually the Binis.

The Bini empire was the only one in Nigeria the Portuguese and later the British referred to as ‘Great’ in all of their text. Its influence spanned into the south west to present day lagos, ondo & ekiti, beyond the river Niger up to the kalabari and even cross rivers.

Its was for the untainted loyalty of the king in calabar to the Bini throne that he choose to be banished there by the British.

Talk wetin u know oooo.... itsekiris "adopted" a bini prince as king but the itsekiris were existing before. The itsekiris have the first educated king in Africa. They are closer to the coast, benin is more hinterland. They both share similarities, yes. Benin and itsekiris have very rich history. Ogidigben, escravos, forcados used for trading on the coast are all in itsekiri areas. Do u know who are the governor of benin river since that position was made by the British? Talk wetin u know ooo....

jeffsummers:
. Messi is a better player than Ronaldo. but he isnt better than Ronaldo in all areas of football. Ronaldo is the greatest goal scorer in football history. He has more career goals than anyone.

Dont compare like this because Ronaldo has played over 100games more than messi. U should compare "goal ratio" ... messi has a better goal ratio to cr7. This means messi is a better goal scorer and rightly, the goal machine. Dont look at physique bro.

psalmuelwater:


Alot of architects employ civil engrs more.


Professionally why would a civil engr employ an architect?

Architects will employ civil engineers when job gets complex because they dont have broad knowledge of the behaviour of buildings. On the contrary, a civil engineer can do what an architect does so no need for him to hire one

NB: I'm talking about the Nigeria. So dont relate my posts to the abroad work atmosphere


Oggolden001 Ahmerdibnz

psalmuelwater:


Architects only work on building?
And you said you are civil engineer?

Please review that statement, it should be coming from someone in the construction industry

Bro, in Nigeria it's what it is. I said what I said, architect only work on buildings. (In abroad they can work on other structures or even as little as a sitting chair, but we are talking about Nigeria here bro)

Pabloma:

Architect Is the head of building construction team which includes the following
Civil Engineer ( Structural Engineer )
Quantity Surveyor
Mechanical And Electrical Engineer
Builder
ELV Engineer........they all depend on Architectural design to survive........... So Architecture is the way

Dey dere dey deceive ursef. Please dont comment if u dont know jack. Dont go to Google and just type rubbish here. The Nigeria setting is very different from what u get on Google. Na one papa wey nor go school sef dey head engineers and architect sometimes. Dont let him choose career base on this ur silly claims

Detailfix:

you are actually ignorant of both courses , so you aren’t the best to advice on any of the 2 courses . You can call 2 professional courses useless , and you are talking of IT related course without any specifics
My dear brother , both courses are good. Both I will advice architecture , [b]though more stressful to study , but if you are smart , you can start earning from [/b]school from knowledge of applications of softwares for rendering and animations

Architecture more stressful than engineering? Please what's ur jamb score in the just concluded exams?

Oggolden001:
A degree in architecture nd that in civil engineering which is more sustainable in the nigerian society? Please i need advice bcuz i'm finding it hard to choose btw this two. Heres me like, i b average maths student wey like to draw alot especially building related drawings/environmental drawings too. Heres my jamb subj comb, maths, physics, chem nd english. Please advice from experience persons in the field will be veryly appreciated. (if there is any word as such)

Bro, look at the profile of those giving u advice and know where to pitch ur tent. Im a civil engineer and I must tell u the truth, architecture has no single advantage over civil engineering in the present day Nigeria. In fact, no course really has an edge in today's Nigeria - there's no job. As a civil engineer in Nigeria, u can do everything an architect does and even more. The truth of the matter is that there's no job in Nigeria, but a civil engineer has all the options an architect has and more. Architect focuses only on buildings and civil engineers can also do that, but on the flip side, a civil engineer can work on roads, drainage, water supply, construction management, surveying and a host of others; whereas an architect only works on buildings!

N.B: If I were to advise, go for electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, chemistry, physics or mathematics if u are an excellent student. After many years you will thank me.

HELLO SIR/MA,
I HAVE AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW,

Fikayoid:
Hello guys, I need some advice.

I intend using my uncle's SOA for financial verification. However, on sending the SOA, I found that it was the name of his company that's on the (I.e. Business ).

Please, how do I go about this?

Will it not cause issues on Interview day?

U can use ur uncle's business/corporate .

Tell your uncle to tell his bank to write a reference letter to be addressed to the embassy. The letter wil contain words like, "We are writing this letter on the request of (UR UNCLES NAME HERE) who is the sponsor of (YOUR NAME)."

The reference letter will state that ur uncle is the signatory to the acct. You will need to staple this letter to the front of the SOA. U are good to go!

Goodluck!

olayinka94:
Hello everyone, please as for those denied twice is there any chance of them getting their visa approved on their third appointment.

.

Even if one is denied 8times, there's still a chance to get it the 9th time. So just spot where the mistakes are coming from and get it clarified with the vo next time

Mademan0984:
Please house I have a crucial question bothering me.
On my 1-20 form I was given fundings from my dept for 12 months as a TA that covers my tuition and living expenses. I have about $5,000 surplus for the year. But my program is 2 years. On my funding letter, scholarship for the 2nd year is conditional. Meaning I have to attain a gpa of 3.00/4.00 to get an extension. My older brothers statement of is fair enough to cover my trip. But not my second year expenses. Please! For those that have had their interview would I be mostly likely asked for proof of funding despite the scholarship details on the 1-20 form? My appointment is in 2 weeks time. I am really worried. Thanks.

Lol. Oga u dont have problem. U dont need to show proof of second year to the VO. U dont even need ur brother statement of . In ur DS160 fill the school as the one covering ur trip.

Prepare ur transcript, go to the embassy and get ur visa

N:B= U have full funding with excess
