Dear forum members, please help me thank God for he has once again proved that he is indeed a gracious God. Lord to you be all the glory.
First and foremost, I thank God for directing my path to this great forum in may last year shortly after we got our first notification letter. Am saying this, because this forum has been a great source of information for me.
Secondly I want to specially thank all those who have in one way or the other contributed to the growth and success of this great forum especially Kennyeast, who started this new thread almost immediately after the old one started by Adediran was deleted. I appreciate you all.

IT WAS A VERY DETAILED INTERVIEW. LORD TO YOU BE ALL THE GLORY.
My prayer for all those yet to go for their interviews is that the good lord will see you through and perfect that which he has started, but please make sure you are well prepared when going for your interview, because those guys are well trained to do their jobs. You have to prove to them that you are worth your salt, so be prepared to defend your qualification.
I really do not know what went wrong yesterday, because a lot of people in the DV category were denied visas and in my heart after we left, I prayed and hoped SAMAKINYEMI not to be one of them,but I was shocked when I saw his post this morning. Its unfortunate, but my brother God knows best. Please wait on the lord and he will renew your strength for greater exploits.
Thank you all,and God bless
Congrats!I love ur type and everything.U are brilliant.
