RAdeola:
Good day, people

Please I’m in a fix. I made the worst mistake of my life. In my DS-160, I filled that my brother is a US citizen and I got rejected on Friday. How do I wash myself clean going forward knowing this is a big issue.

Please I need help!

Omo I just saw a transcript where the recipient has full scholarships with graduate assistantship in four different schools and stated that his brother is a US citizen.Hope it is not you

chidiakwari:
No it is not. You’ll have to check with the department if they require that you get a prof you’re willing to work with for alignment on research interest.

There are different kinds of Assistantships. RA/ GA/ TA

Thank you! Because I have checked some schools' websites, and the requirements are mostly GRE scores, transcripts, English proficiency test results, recommendation letters, Statement of Purpose (SOP), and CV. And if someone has all these and they are up to standard, is messaging a lecturer (or supervisor) really necessary again? I often hear people say that you need to a supervisor first, who will then consider your application.

Taal17:

Yes, or is best to do so especially if you need funding.
The funding for programs goes with the professor and your research interests should align as much as possible.
Treat it like the professor is your hiring manager/line manager.
Sell yourself and why you want to do this research.

Because if you check schools' websites, you will see the requirements to get ission to their PhD programs. What I mean is, if you apply directly and meet all the requirements, and I assume PhD programs are usually fully funded most of the time, shouldn't the person be itted? Also, I don't think messaging a supervisor is usually part of the requirements, but I could be wrong.

Is it compulsory to message lecturers before applying for Phd. Can't someone just apply directly on the school website

Scholar212:
Most PhD programs are funded in the US, does not matter the state. Usually PhD students are funded as Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant or a Fellowship. STEM courses have more funding than the arts and humanities, if you studied a medical and life science related course you can look towards Biomedical science PhD programs. Search on Google or even use Meta AI or ChatGPT to create list of universities in US offering PhD in Biomedical science and related fields. From there you can start going through the school websites one after the other and potential supervisors you find their research interesting.

What Davido is doing is called manipulation. What are you still doing around the family you broke up with one of them. This is very insensitive. Chioma won't be sure whether he wants her back or not which may affect her emotionally.

A Deep Dive Into Wizkid’s 2021: His Elegant Year (of Hooge Success) AWARD, The year 2021 was no doubt massive for Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, widely known as WIZKID. We are also positive that Big Wiz had big plans for the year 2021, but he sure did not think that Made In Lagos will become a global force.
As well already know, Wizkid premiered his 4th studio album, Made In Lagos – MIL on October 30, 2020 through Starboy Entertainment and RCA Records. The 14-rack project features guest appearances from the likes of Burna
Boy, Skepta, H.E.R., Ella Mai, Tay Iwar, Projexx, Tems, and Terri. To further pice things up, the deluxe edition dropped on the 27th of August, 2021 with features from ace Canadian singer, Justin Bieber, and Nigeria’s Buju.

Ever since MIL dropped, Wizkid’s journey has not been the same. If he were to be an artist, Made In Lagos would have been recorded as the album that brought him to the limelight. But this is not the case, Big Wiz has been breaking grounds in the industry for about 10 years now, but we can all agree that MIL is indeed a propeller.
Altogether in 2021, Wizkid brought home an impressive 35 awards from 19 award bodies. History was indeed made.

I quickly told him I’d copy him a little and blah blah and he agreed. sat beside him and I’ve already got the questions paper and waiting on the answer sheet. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked back and the guy behind asked, “bro abeg wetin be today’s date?

What (very irritated) ion know mahn!

Exact moment the invigilator walked in. He asked me up, carry my paper and properties and gave me a bench to sit at at the very front.

Didn’t write anything except my name. Worse part was the young nigga with the glasses submitted first in the whole class. Village people nor try dat day.

Almighty Soc 217. That is one of the hardest course to . Did you finish from Unilorin?

Wizkid has burst out with excitement after making history by selling out the O2 Arena within 12 minutes ahead of his Made In Lagos tour which is slighted for November 28.
Just as every artist sells tickets ahead of their shows, Wizkid also has been selling tickets ahead of his Made In Lagos tour across the country and has sold out tickets for his show in London within 12 minutes after the tickets were made available.
Wizkid reacting to that has affirmed his love for people in London as without their love and he wouldn’t have made history by selling out O2 Arena within 12 minutes after the tickets to the show was made available.

Something is not right with the way everything went down. From the video it is obvious someone has placed the lighter at that particular place for the lady to use which means it is a planned work with the lady and an outsider.

ntyce:


Baba Lao was Soapy by Naira Marley
Newly released Loyal was taken off Essence by Wizkid
Jeje was from Wizkid's Joro

He simply isn't original, steals song then shoots a colorful video to back up.


This is another claim from a Kenyan site, February 2020.

He will only win a Grammy if there's an award for stealing off songs.

This is what they don't know. Diamond is very smart when it comes to analyzing the market. He used those afrobeats songs and modify it into bongo flava in a melodious tune. Check the way he changed joro to jeje and slow the tempo of the beat. The same way he did to essence but he used low beat to it in his new song. That soapy is a street banger but only few artistes can try that style in Tanzania because it is not their genre so he has to change the song to high tone but no matter how he changed it naira Marley will definitely come to your mind when listening to the song

SETH03:

Burna boy is far better than him. Diamond is just very smart. Most of the best bongo Artiste are under his record label.East Africa has a very sizeable Swahili speakers so it is very easy to blend with other countries around them. The guy is even begging for international approval that is why he signed a 360 deal with warner. Many countries Bleep with afrobeats compare with bongo so it will still be long for him to catch the markets outside his terrtiort

DSoj:
How burna boy got Grammy ahead of this guy baffles me.. This is thorough African music star. Full package

On July 12, 2021, Nigerian superstar, Wizkid’s song, ‘Essence’ became the first Nigerian song to crack the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
Wizkid also becomes just the third African artiste to appear on the billboard Hot 100 and 200 simultaneously, First was Mariam Makeba in 1967, Manu Dibango in 1973.
This comes after the song cracked the Billboard Bubbling Under Charts for the first time.
This marks a remarkable achievement for Wizkid and Tems.
The song marks Wizkid’s third appearance on the charts, after ‘One Dance’ famously hit No. 1 in 2016. For Tems, this marked her first appearance, as her launch gathers heat.

You should go back and read my comment again then point out where there's a screenshot of his Dm on the post for clarification.

Don't mind him, maybe he can't differentiate between comment section and dm

Bilabong:
See as US dominate...

It is easier to make it in America compare to any other countries in the world. The America system is built for someone to achieve great things. The capitalist favour America a lot. Banks are willing to lend money even if you were bankrupt as long as you have the idea. Their rule of law is also very organized which favour everybody including small scale business.
The major reason why they are very wealthy is because of the 80-20 rule. The total wealth is usually concentrated among 20percent of the people where the wealth is 80 percent which goes in cycle. Some opportunistics and intelligent among the 20 will have 80percent of the wealth which will bridge the wealth cycle. They have a standardised industry which makes them to grow more and more wealth which are spread among the people. The richer everyone is, the richer the most successful.

Cancer is a disease which some of the body's cell grow uncontrollably and spread to other part of the body( National Cancer Research). It is a genetic disease that is caused by changes to genes that control the way our cells fiction, especially how they grow and divide.
Sizeable proportion of cancers are caused by environmental factor where someone lives or exposed to, lifestyle attitudes while some can be caused by hereditary cells.
It is very possible to live a healthy lifestyle and still be diagnosed of cancer. Some pro athletes in recent times despite living healthy lifestyle also died from cancer.Tour de winner Laurent fignon and Gabrielle Grunewald a popular American runner is a good example. Though nobody is perfectly disciplined with the way they live but some people can still control what they eat, drink, breathe and engage in exercise properly,how to maintain their mental and spiritual equilibrium and still have cancer.
Does it mean anybody can have the disease despite living healthy and not suffering from any hereditary disease or mutations in cells?

Wizkid manager and third baby mama has described Dr Fab who is a very close friend of the multi talented musician as a man who lack integrity and respect for opening and posting the Grammy package given to him to deliver to the musician.

neztar:
Rema is commercial Yes. Versatile, No. He's too one dimensional like wizkid. I'd pick tems over him. Moreover, his music lacks longetivity. Reminds me of dbanj.

Tems is lyrically better no doubt but saying his music lacks longevity is wrong. How many songs in Nigeria has longevity, there is definitely time for evey song except for burna though and
Saying wizkid is not versatile is outrageous. He has touched literally all popular genres. His abulms sounds are different from another. Super star is different from Ayo and Ayo is different from Sftos and Sftos is different from Soundman and Soundman is different from MIL. Someone that gave three genres on his intro song in MIL. The abulm has more than Four genres. He has given house music styles, afrobeat, regaee, rnb, dancehall, pop music and tradition. No doubt he is the most versatile artiste in Nigeria

pocohantas:
To think some people had the effrontery to compare this guy with Fireboy.

I need to find all of them for intense flogging.




Totally senseless video and repetitive lyrics. I’ll be ashamed to be associated with this. Be it as a producer or vixen.

How is fireboy better than Rema?, apart from wizkid,davido, burna boy and Mr Eazi, mention any other artiste that has more streams on all platforms apart from Rema. The guy has more international collaboration than Fireboy because of his Versatility. The guy can trap( you can check his Ep for that). Vibes are also necessary for music. Rema has the range, his music can be played depending on any mood which Fireboy lacks and moreover lyrics is debatable. Afrobeat is more of beat than lyrics, check all Nigeria Songs that were bangers and listen to their lyrics.
To some people fireboy may be the better singer but remain is definitely bigger

What is happening to Harry and Meghan is the Same with Peter Okoye and his Wife. Meghan is experiencing first class racism while Lola is also experiencing tribalism here. Peter stood with his wife against all odds and Nigerians are already saying he is been controlled by a woman but the same Nigerians are applauding Harry for standing with his wife at the expense of royal family.

The biggest collaboration any Nigerian artiste will Feature an international artiste is definitely come closer. The song is certified gold in U.S.A, Platinum in Canada and Silver in UK. It is the most streamed Nigeria song on Spotify with over 97 millions and over 99 million views on YouTube.
My best featured Nigerian by an international artiste is own it by stormzy ft Burna boy followed closely by borrowed love by metroboom ft wizkid and swaelee, that song is goldly especially swaelee's high pitch Soothing with wizkid melodious tune.
Others include Real life by Burna boy ft stormzy. I can go all day listening to that song. Burna murdered that song
Can't believe I by kranium ft wizkid
Bella' Mhd ft wizkid
