Dear HackerSpace,<br>
<br>
My name is Friday Demola, I am a certified blogger and online<br>
promoter who is from Lagos, Nigeria. Before I finished my high school<br>
in 2007, I prophesied that I want to study in the United States Of<br>
America and any time my mates<br>
were applying for Jamb, I never felt like registering because I was<br>
working hard trying to get the money for my Visa and stuffs; but at<br>
the end they were all abortive. After many years of trying, nothing<br>
worked out, so I had to stop disturbing myself about traveling abroad.<br>
Two years ago I thought to myself that if I am studying here in<br>
Nigeria, I would have graduated by now, but God reminded me that I<br>
prophesied something, I didn’t remember what it was, until my Pastor<br>
(He has been transferred now) asked me last year about what I am doing<br>
concerning my international school, I told him I have stopped it, so<br>
he encouraged me not to stop, so I registered for the America<br>
DV-lottery the same year and this year 2103 the result came out and I<br>
was randomly selected amongst the 150,000 people. I was so excited and<br>
after sending my documents to the US consular office in Kentucky, now<br>
I am among the 50,000 people that were finally picked.<br>
<br>
My Visa interview is January 8th, and I need to get all the<br>
requirements they requested for.<br>
1. International Passport<br>
2. Attestation Of Birth<br>
3. School certificate<br>
4. Police Records<br>
5. Affidavit<br>
6. Medical check-up report<br>
7. Visa Fee<br>
<br>
Calculating everything it’s N111,000 and I have N51,000 now but<br>
still looking for the remaining N60,000 so that I can use it to get<br>
other requirements.<br>
<br>
The N60,000 is equivalent to $375<br>
<br>
The spending of the N51,000 begins tomorrow. My Christmas wish is to<br>
get the remaining balance so that I can have a successful Visa<br>
interview. I tried reaching my friends to support but they are all<br>
prophesying lies upon their heads which is so bad.<br>
<br>
NB: My aim is to travel to United States Of America, study more about<br>
ICT, work and<br>
come back to Nigeria and nothing is going to change it.<br>
<br>
I would be so glad if my wish can come to pass.<br>
Thanks so much HS members for taking your time to read my message.<br>
<br>
Remember there is no way to Peace, Peace is the way<br>
