Thanks for bringing my mind to that, yes, I could only if there is<br>
someone to show me how to hack.. But based on time difference, like<br>
someone who was teaching me before was living in Poland and we<br>
couldn't connect well.. My traveling to the United States Of America<br>
is not about learning how to hack. I've got a lot of good programmes I<br>
want to study before going back to Nigeria. Anyways, I really<br>
appreciate all the responses, both the negative ones, the insulting<br>
ones and even the encouraging ones..<br>
<br>
Thank you all.<br>
<br>
<br>
Merry Christmas and happy new year in advance.<br>

Dear HackerSpace,<br>
<br>
My name is Friday Demola, I am a certified blogger<br>
and<br>
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>

I, as a portuguese and french programmer, have quite a lot of remarks:<br>
- why move to united states while you can learn everything on the net ?<br>
(btw europe is quite cool too, or asia...)<br>
- you like hacking mind ? build a hackerspace in your country and study<br>
from there while sharing your technics with others, that would be good<br>
for nigeria's autonomy (and yours).<br>
- money is time, be patient and take it so you're free to do whatever<br>
you want.<br>
- I once won some cool stuff by being lucky, like being the 100 000 nth<br>
client of a ice rink, so maybe your story is true, but we have so many<br>
scams coming from africa (and not only) that we can't trust this kind of<br>
message.<br>
- Of course Peace is the way ! (which direction please?)<br>
- No need of diplomas to make good and robust stuff.<br>
<br>
(no need to answer, this is just my point of view and nothing will<br>
change it)<br>
<br>
Friendly,<br>
