Visa Power

A Declaration: I will not passs critique on any movie in this post. Now as me and a lot of my friends are all caught up in expressing our sorrow or alternatively our elation based on our geographical location since the skipper is leaving we have manged to fail to recognise the economic coup that the americans have managed to pull off here!!!! Credit must be given where its due. Now please bear with me here as I try and explain wht the hell I am talking bout. The americans make us cough up a lot of greens before we can land our respective hineys in the promiseland....all sorts of test fees, application fees and all the other overheads.... We are also made to pay a fee for visa application...so thereby they make a lot of money....so whats the big deal?? u ask...well here it is.. the CIA with its vast spy network spread all over the world manages to identify a "PIED PIPER", so to say, from every community. Unlike the fable however this piper belongs to the fairer sex...
a declaration: I will not pass critique on any movie in this one.... Now credit need to be given where it due. While we have been caught up in the all the grief or alternatively the elation depending on your geographic location we have somehow overlooked the revulotion in revenue generation that is about to sweep across the US of A. consider this..... The americans ask you to pay the following b4 u can get ur ass in their land..... 1. GRE fees 2. TOEFL fees. 3. Application fees. 4. Visa application fees just to name a few heads. add to that the overheads like courier charges, all sorts of fees that u gotta cough up to get all the necessary documentation. Heres the masterpiece though. The CIA through their large spy network ( I have met a few of their agents ) identify the "pied piper" , so to speak,of every community. Unlike the story though this pied piper is mostly of the other gender. Now they will persuade this piper girl to take her GRE, TOEFL ....so on ...
