They've started rejecting Nigerian students admission because of Ebola?

Despite being an Ebola-free country, some universities in the US are now rejecting Nigerian students admission. Twitter user @Idrisayobello shared one of those rejection letters on twitter and wrote, "Ironic that NavarroCollege only 31 miles away from Dallas with an active #Ebola case is denying admission to Nigerians who are ebola-free!". This is ridiculous!

Was reading comments on the post a girl was complaining about makeup sex btw her n hubby
It just occurred to me that my hubby n I have never had a fight
Pls I want to know if its normal or we are still very fresh
We dated for one year (in that one year I lived with him for 6months cos I had an accommodation problem)
During this period we never had an issue or any quarrel
Initially I thought he was pretending even though am a very calm n peaceful girl tho lol
But he just gets everything ryt
We 've been married for 6months now
N am yet to witness a quarrel talk more of make up sex
He has only raised his voice on me once during our wedding preparation cos he was really under pressure but later became extra nice
Is this normal or our compatibility rate is just too high
Or its d whole relationship still fresh
I pray we stay dis way tho
Even tho I want to experience the makeup sex :)

That is how it used to be with aids. Indiscriminate discrimination. I don't think they will do this with a resident of a west African descent.

Dis is really serious Nigeria gov should do something about dis

Its not their fault now, If we had good schools in Nigeria, Why will I put my life on the line to school abroad???? It is well!!!!

Anonymous said...

Like seriously.....as of rightnow the united states has more ebola cases than Nigeria ...so they are the ones dealing with Ebola confirm cases not Nigeria. The fact is we have eradicated the virus to a pint. Last i checked WHO confirmed Nigeria to be an ebola free country.....the same cant be said about the United states.

Unknown said...

They are overreacting they should screen then instead. Well, they have option to come to their country to study.

Unknown said...

This is so so fucking crazy and annoying?
Where do these sorties put their ears in terms of Nigeria NEWS.
Well, I blame our government who aren’t able to provide qualitative education and learning system for its citizenries .
If this is not quelled as soon as possible, I see Nigeria eluding more percipience

We should be d ones denying d Americans entry into our country. It's a shame we keep storming their country like ISIS invasion.... 'I wanna go to d States' to do what exactly? School? No good schools in Nigeria? We have world class Universities here yet we still queue up at d embassy. D more we go, d more d capital flight. Our problems are nt those of leadership only but of lack of self respect and worth for ourselves.

I thought they can do better then stigmatized.

Americans should be thoroughly screened and even isolated in quarantine wards for observation before they get into Nigeria. We should take necessary precautions when dealing with such a country that has recorded ebola cases.
God Bless Nigeria.

I strongly disagree with your post. Please confirm before you jump into conclusion. I am a bonafide PhD student in the US and the US government/CDC working hard to protect everyone in the US and around the world. I don't believe any university in the US would deny admissions to international students from Ebola prone regions of West Africa. Linda please verify your stories again before google shuts down your blog again. Please verify and if it is true, such a student should file a complaint with a human rights lawyer. Moreover, Fall semester admissions are way over..spring admissions notifications start in early November..please stop encouraging cyber hate crimes.

Shut up, you Muslim demagogue. No God is bringing America to her knees. America does a lot good in this world. No other Country, I repeat, no country does as much good as America. Go all over the world and see their footprints for good. That it has not opened its doors for Muslim terrorists to invade and mess up, just like they're doing in Europe, does not mean that you have to criticize them all the time. In actual fact, thank God that there's a country like America in the world today, if not, it would have been a case of dog eat dog and utter chaos.

Who cares.will our government tell the US how to operat,let them come home please.we have good schools quit deceiving ur selves.learning is a choice

This letter clearly tells me that whoever received the note has just been set up to become a very rich person. This is a documented case of discrimination of the worst kind, which violates US laws. So what you should do is seek one of these ambulance lawyers in the US and send them the note. they will be all over Navarro. Unless Navarro is run out of the basement of some Nigerian's home. How could a school with legal counsel and an academic council truly pen down this type of evidence. I wish they had written me the letter. I will be smiling to the bank in one year with a healthy fraction of their bloody endowment, that is if they have any.

Lol u r just six months n u talk. My dear enjoy it now but wait till your 5th year anniversary to ask such question . hehehe

Only redneck, ignorant schools do that mess. Navarro college is not even a four year college smh. Nonsense bush people.

Who declared Nigeria ebola free? How did they come up with that? The truth is that there is no way to prove that Nigeria is ebola free, people die everyday from strange illnesses, it's might just be a way to cover up for election. My people open ya eyes!!!

What are they doing in a country that Ebola virus has relocated to. They should stay home and study in a NIG uni... Not that they get contact the disease and still bring it back to nigeria, thanks to navarro college for refusing to admit....please let's forget discrimination @ this rate

You know akata people always profile and are always ready to dump on third world countries. Well god is reminding them that they are not better than anybody else, in fact their incompetence is ringing bell. It is quite amusing watching them stumble through this ebola mess. I hope they get it together soon so they don't expose everyone to this germ.
Unfortunate about the victims. Oh, they have been told to go to Nigeria to learn how it is dove, some have but majority is letting pride get in the way thus this mess you see on TV

That's their business, they asked for it.
