- A Nigerian lady saved her NYSC allowance and salary to fund her U.S. master’s degree application, but was denied her visa.
- She disclosed on her social media that she never received her monthly stipend from NYSC during her service year.
A Nigerian lady has shared a heart-wrenching tale of how she meticulously saved her entire NYSC allowance, along with a portion of her salary, to fund her U.S. master’s degree application—only for her visa to be denied.
In a post shared on her social media account, she explained how, throughout her service year, she refrained from spending her monthly NYSC stipend. Instead, she contributed ₦200 each month from her salary, ultimately accumulating ₦20,000 to cover various application-related expenses, such as fees, transcript submissions, and other costs associated with her U.S. master’s program.
“Every single dime was wasted,” she shared with deep emotion. “I cried ehn.”
