The Link To the Video Guide on how to obtain the US Visa Fast is here   In 2015 on my way to Lagos for a friend’s wedding, I was seated in a Toyota Siena with two guys, who were obviously heading to the US embassy for an interview.  And they were seriously lamenting about the difficulties in obtaining a US Visa.  Now even though it was a night journey, they were chatting all night.  I joined the conversation; well not because I knew a thing about getting a US Visa then, but because I was curious.  I wanted to know more about getting a US Visa, I might need one someday.  So from that day, I became very inquisitive about getting a US Visa. I read anything I can lay my hands on about US Visa online, including here on Nairaland.  I asked just anyone I hear traveled to the US. Some provided help, but many had no clue.  A few were just not ready to talk to a random guy like me.  But years went by, I didn’t get anything r...

Nigerian-born Chris Imafidon is a Professor at the University of Oxford, England. Though autistic, Imafidon, whose children have been described as world’s brainiest kids, tells ‘NONYE BEN-NWANKWO, how he got to the height he has achieved. You were at the University of Ilorin recently during their graduation and you said you would give a scholarship to the worst graduating student. Why? You might need to ask my grandmother that because she believes that every child, without exception, has a lot to contribute to the society. She would find out what you are capable of doing. In my own generation, I try to implement what she lived by. She didn’t just preach it, she did it. She was interested in every child. I did what she would have done. She is gone now. But I am here to represent her voice. I must not let her voice be unheard in my generation, I will always echo it and my mantra is that every child is a genius. If every child is a genius, then it shouldn’t matter if y...

But then the N-power has announced through its social media channels that names will be released by close to midnight on Monday, 20th and N-power applicants will be able to check on the N-power website if they have been successful in the pre-selection.  Remember this will not be the final list as there will be physical verifications at your local governments for all the items necessary for enrolment in the N-power programme.  Remember the whole journey? Online application, BVN Validation, Assessment test and all that and now by Monday, pre-selection would be completed. But then a lot of people are asking how they would check their names.  Well after uploading the list on the internet, and test running it, the N-power will be able to let us know how applicants will log in to check their names. But it surely will have to be a combination of any two of the following in...

Have you wondered why only a few people succeed in life, while the majority become their fans? Have you wondered why thousands of students would be admitted to a university but only a few will make the best results? Because they were smarter, right? Ok, how about NYSC? There’s certainly no academic work there, so why is it that of the many that go for national service, only a few receive presidential awards? Have you bothered to ask yourself? Or you simply assume that they were lucky? Well, it is neither luck no smartness. I wasn’t one of the best students in my school, neither did I receive the presidential award after NYSC.  Actually, I used to also think that those guys were smarter than I was, or were luckier. But ever since I read about the Pareto principle, my thinking has changed and I know better how to be among the best. It’s called the 80/20 rule. Also known as the Pareto principle, the 80/20 rule states that 80% of peas in a pea garden are produced by only 20% of...

I have received lots of inquiries from applicants especially since the successful ones were shortlisted. Participants keep asking, ‘will YouWiN give money?’ ‘How much is YouWiN going to give us?’ ‘…I cannot see anywhere they have mentioned how much they are giving in this YouWiN.’ And a whole lot of similar questions. These are real concerns and they appear to be true. All the communication from YouWiN so far has not mentioned any monetary benefit, and that is deliberate from them. YouWiN was established to encourage the springing up of new businesses. Under the previous administration, YouWiN provided business training and skills development for 6000 semifinalists, after which they are required to submit business plans and submit other some specified documents like land titles. About 1200 selected from all the geopolitical zones are then shortlisted as finalist and winners and given between N1million to N10 million depending on their business needs. However, one of the bigg...

 By Brian Tracy You can imagine your personality by thinking of a target with concentric rings. Your personality is made up of five rings, starting from the center with your values and radiating outward to the next circle, your beliefs and values in life. Believe in Yourself Your   values in life   determine your beliefs,   about yourself and the world around you. If you have positive values, such as love, compassion, and generosity, you will believe that people in your world are deserving of these values and you will treat them accordingly. When you believe in yourself and chose to be a good person you will find yourself to be more positive and successful in life. Set Expectations and Know Your Values in Life Your beliefs, in turn, determine the third ring of your personality, your   expectations.   If you have positive values, you will believe yourself to   be a good person . If you believe in yourself to be a good person, you will expect...
