Papasan, will convey your message to him but i'm very sure he will be there before the first person casts his vote. we had ours last month and the opposition party ( which happens to be my party) is in the supreme court contesting the result. i believe this will be the last time u will be voting as a Kenyan. All the best.
Thanks sister Makiki and all the best.

Hi guys
just popped in to tell you good morning as iam heading to class.My wife became instant friends with the lady proprietor of the college where shes taking her course and the lady told her bring on your hubby to study too he will be able to pay me once he gets the job which iam sure will be in less than 15hrs after completing the course!i say its the favour of the lord people and also try to be social with people once you get here.
Again i noted that the xray we were told to carry from the medicals is with us still it was not asked for anywhere n the way we were rushing with it n its size like that of iron sheet across airport lobbys!lolbut carry yours you never know.
for those yet to do medicals and those waiting for interviews,take heart and be encouraged on the fact that you are already victors

Nigeria Interview Today 18th Jan 2013
Just saw this Interview experience and liked this guy's tactics on the CO
Let me begin by thanking you all. You're all truly wonderful and dearly loved. I appreciate Spoondar, Kemzone, Temmy, Adesoji, Brightmon, Ifeanyi.Abdul, Jidedon, Adzovia, Tiwana, Bussyme, Gunners4u, Junkerhill, Honeydee, Remmy, ChirpyWest, Ibracadabra, and everyone not expressly mentioned. I wish I could remember all your beautiful names. Thank you all for the prayers and inspiration. God bless you all.
I left the house by 4:45am and arrived 5:20am. We observed all the necessary protocols and the checks and got ushered in. I purposely sat in such a away as to have a clear view of the white lady everyone dreads. I needed to inderstand her methods, temperament and ideology should in case I am sent to her.
She denied virtualy everyone who got to her desk. I realized it's not about the woman. It's about the applicants who come ill-prepared. She wants to be sure you TRULY MERIT the visa. Her question are not difficult but tricky and searching. From my interactions with her, I figured she must be a lawyer or someone with legal exposure. She asked me questions, more of a cross examination using legal terms known only to legal minds.
Now this is the secret to dealing with her. Learn forward and look her right in the eyes. That makes her uncomfortable and less composed. It's like turning the table against her. Answer her questions with CONFIDENCE even If you're not so sure of the answers. Maintain eye contact and be polite to a fault. Her approach could make you edgy and could provoke anger in her which always prompts her to deny without mercy. Keep a smiling face and raise your pitch when responding to her query. Use gestures too. All these played out to my favour. Above all, I realized she appreciates good command of English Language. But really, how can you claim to be a graduate and unable to make a sentence that's error-free? Let's polish our vocab.
Me: Good morning lady (with smiles)
Co: Thank you
Me: You're welcome.
Co: Do you swear to tell the truth?
Me: (Still smiling) Absolutely. I do.
Co: Put your fingers on the machine. I want to capture your prints.
Me: Ok maam.....
She takes my prints .....
Co: Thank you
Me: You're welcome.
Co: What's your highest Qualification?
Me: LLB, BL.
Co: Which aspect of law are you specialized in?
Me: Bla bla bla.
Co: Tell me all you know about a valid contract and what makes a contract enforceable?
Me: I lectured her with decided cases and statutory provisions
Co: Tell me the aspect of law you find difficult.
Me: I told her.
To my surprise she began to lecture me on it. I chip in facts from time to time to buttress her points.
Co: Have your original documents
Me: Thank you maam! (With a broad smile)
Co: I am going to issue you a visa.
There were two sheets before her. One was for denial and the other for approval. She pulled the paper, circled an address and asked me to pick my visa on Friday next week. I enjoyed my time with her. I am sure she enjoyed my company. She's such a lovely Angel to chit-chat with.

MaKiKi, I'm always here, but usually can only check-in on a weekly basis and contribute as and when I can. However, will try to check-in more often. May actually be in Nairobi in a week or so for something else, and would like to go looking for the IOM Heath centre, just so I know where it is. At least I already know where the US Embassy is located.
Compulsory enlistment (Conscription) in the US was abolished decades ago, however they do register men between 18-25, just in case they are required, but joining the armed forces is all voluntary.
Thanks for the info
well I must say its quite a piece of info u got up there...The guy who is in US tryin to acquire the DL,congrats n all the best.U've lifted my spirit somehow n at least I can say the journey is worth the struggle..Jus confidence n trust in God is all we require.Just waiting for next month,hopefully.
good ! that all we need to have in the forum,people willing to share their experiences.
