I cant believe everyone is hostile to this guy!!!, calling him a lazy man wont help. We all know how it is in 9ja. I m not saying any one should stick his head on the line, cos you dont wanna get busted for helping. But a soft talk and some encouragement will help the man. No doubt 9ja is fustrating even for the rich. very unsafe!!! Have u forgotten how many prayers u made to GOD on ur interview date at the American embassy All the fasting? What about during your blood test?, have u forgotten it and ur prayers that the test doesnt deny u ur visa!!! The suspense, the fear!!! we all know all roads to heaven ways aint easy, but for those of us who made it this far lets appreciate GOD and please be nice to one another. 3 Likes |

Wait oh. . . why do we always have to act negative? The guy asked a simple question.If we can't help him, we can at least react positively. I like Kenflippers comment. For those overseas,we should remember that before we travelled, some were once in the poster's desperate shoes! Alot of people commenting here now, did crazy things to travel out- now we are acting like the most saintly folks.Haba people!! Empathize! For the sake of cynics, skeptics,pessimists and those with a negative attitude, I'm going to try to help the poster completely free free of charge. I trust that with the counsel and real assistance he will get here, he will be out of the country in a better place soonest. @Bigmodo If you really do need help, I can assist you FREE OF CHARGE, but I'll like for everything to be done here on Nairaland. Kind of like reality TV! Meaning we are going to document every step of the way until you get a Visa and travel out! If you are up for it, let me start by asking you a few questions. Whats your AGE? Whats your Educational background like? What Country are you most interested in travelling to? Lets hope this works out good!! 5 Likes |

well , u dont have to be harsh on this guy , just let him realiase that going to abroad is not the way to success . @ poster , i have freinds leaving abroad , but till date they have nothin to show for it , my freinds back home in Nigeria are doing better than them . I have been living abroad for some years now , but to be honest with you , i wish i am in Nigeria . especially if you are planing to go to the UK, you pay so much bills here , high taxation , housing is so expensive . heah bro , think about it properly before u make any moves to come abroad . |

@POSTER I may not have enough info about you to be able to advise you on what to do. However, traveling abroad is NO LONGER d ultimate achievement. If u are educated, just cool down, start from zero level. find out what people need that you can offer to do for them. 9ja will soon explode. Just fix urself somewhere.am not saying you should stick on seeking a job o! with 100k, you can raise a voice in this country. Goodluck! |

Re: Nigerians Abroad Help Me To Travel Out by Johnny(m): 5:15pm On Mar 31, 2008 |
Did someone just ask what he will be doing abroad? Anyway, let me leave that for now! Matured advice there. Nairalanders who claim to base in America and Europe tend to think that it's their birthright to be there. I can bet that a good number of them did very bad and ugly things to get abroad. And a very good number of them will be deported due to their unwholesome attitudes. Apart from making it abroad easily, basic amenities, which every sane man desire in life are readily and efficiently available. I would prefer to own 100 dollars in America or Europe to having 100,000 naira here in Nigeria. This is were crime rate is very low. The weather condition is very friendly. Water flows freely. Light is constant. Political leaders are commited to giving quality services to the electorates. A land where people work like ant but eat like elephants. And many more.Who wouldn't want to go abroad! I believe in my country. Nigeria is endowed with alot of opportunities, BUT if I have my way, I will travel out of this country. It's not always bed of roses, but it's not also always regretable. 3 Likes |

Re: Nigerians Abroad Help Me To Travel Out by prince84(m): 12:54pm On Apr 07, 2008 |
@ poster WRONG PLACE TO ASK FOR HELP!! This people will just end up killing your dreams look for other ways. One thing i have Noticed on the Land, If someone has a problem and asks for a solution here instead of getting solutions or advises He/she gets Badmouthed, abused, cursed, etc, etc But my brother the poster, Life overseas is very hard, evening harder when compared to naija My advice for is to try and see if you can make ends meet in naija, just try because out here in the so called yankee LIFE IS COLD AND HARD, LIKE SNOW IN THE THICK OF WINTER. bros think again. But if its realy what you want, please by all means follow you dream. |
Re: Nigerians Abroad Help Me To Travel Out by HRhotness(f): 1:24pm On Apr 07, 2008 |
Johnny: Point of correction nothin flows freely, u pay for every single thing u get here. Thats why some Nigerians who come here end up in trouble, we come from a culture where we get away with not paying tax or bills and getting stuff for free. its so different here, u are taxed before u get ur pay so u cant even complain, if u dont pay ur bills on time, u loose the service, get a county court judgement and ruin ur credit rating. then u get charges for late payment, bank charges, u ruin ur credit rating so u cant get loans or assistance,,,, before u know it u're in debt! Of course everything works but u have to be committed to paying for it! personally I'll be back home as soon as I can. people are not as warm and helpful here, everything is dictated by rules and policies,,, at least Nigerians are human. @ poster I dont discourage people who want to go abroad, as long as u either have a job waiting or have enough to live on till u get a job. The sad reality is that in the UK everyone is on their own and u really cant become a burden on someone else. Its not about being stingy, it can be really hard getting ur life together not everyone can take on additional responsibility of watching out for someone else. It is not enough to just move abroad, u should have a plan in place. Ask questions about the way things work, read all ur contracts and agreement (they mean every word literarily), do research and understand every service u are applying for and understand procedure in every situation. I suggest u think properly about ur decision. I know for certain in Nigeria there is always something u can do until u get ur dream job, u onlyhave to be patient 1 Like |

Re: Nigerians Abroad Help Me To Travel Out by lucabrasi(m): 4:21am On Apr 08, 2008 |
pls if you cant help the guy then you are doing more harm than good making fun of him and saying all sorts as if everybody on here were all born in the us or uk, the guy lives in nigeria and he knows what the money he has budgeted for can do in nigeria and he has his reasons for deciding to travel abroad i wish i could help but i dont know anything about visas as i dont collect my own visas but from what i have seen here ill advice you to make sure you come in through legit means as it will be difficult for you to do anything if you dont,also you can try some schools especially in the united kingdom as the funds you have can still pay for between 30%-50% tution fees which will stand u in good stead at the embassy,i dont know what skills you have but you could try the highly skilled migrant programme,hope you suceed and dont make the mistake of giving anybody a deposit,good lucks dude and hope you achieve your travelling thingy |

Re: Nigerians Abroad Help Me To Travel Out by izeek(m): 12:34pm On Apr 10, 2008 |
every man has his destiny, and maybe his is abroad. @poster, put everything u have into going abroad, and if it finally works for you then its your destiny. for me i once tot it was also my destiny to go abroad ( mind u i go still go, but as big boi.) but somehow when i tried i dint work, i put my effort into something else, and now its paying off. i work with a very promising company and am ten times happier than i wud have been abroad. maybe if i had gone, i might have dropped out of school, or be a layabout making some lil 100$ in very cold harsh weather. but the only advise wey i get be say if u eventually help, remember how u got there and help others here. dont be like most of our nigerian folks over there who never has a good word from thier friends they left here in poverty. cos when u come back nah those friens u go meet, and they will be the ones to help you. trust me. |

Re: Nigerians Abroad Help Me To Travel Out by Lady2(f): 6:01pm On Apr 10, 2008 |
Strange how a lot of folk who are advicing the poster to use his money to make it in Nigeria, are out of Nigeria. There's no problem coming abroad, just as long as those who want to realise that it won't take their problems away. Most people abroad can't afford to come back home. I will use myself and my family as an example. I am a university student and I owe the US GOVERNMENT in student loans up to $22,000 for my bachelor's and it will cost me approximately $30,000 to do my graduate studies, so by the time I am done I owe the US GOVERNMENT $52,000 plus interest. Most people spend the rest of their lives paying it off. I can't just abandon the loan and leave. Why? the US GOVERNMENT is no joke and they will hunt me down. Now ofcourse I want to survive as I go to school so I have bills to pay and yes credit cards to pay because ALL of America is run on credit and not cash. If I don't pay the collectors come after me and if I don't pay my bills, no more freely flowing, LOL water, light, shelter. I become homeless. Trust me it's very easy to become homeless in America, even celebrities get there (Mike Tyson and MC Hammer). Now my mother is a nurse and she works up to 3 jobs to make sure that her children are well taken care of. She has mortgage to pay( u can't buy a Then she has to feed and clothe her fast growing children 4 minus me 3. To buy food to feed my teenage brother alone costs her $100 per month and then add my 2 sisters and you have $300 per month for food. Then let's talk of clothes, for all 3 children it costs my mum approximately $7,000 per year. Then there's education. Even though school up to secondary is free they still have to buy materials for their classrooms and trust me they don't come cheap. When you're done buying boards and books and arts and crafts materials for projects in schools your wallet will have downsized a lot. We recycle everything in my house. Things I used in school are what they will be using. Then there's her car that she uses to run to work and run errands and take the children everywhere. She has to pay her car note (I told you EVERYTHING is on credit) and she has to pay for the upkeep of her car, God forbid one day it breaks down, then we're all screwed. You don't have a car, u can't get to work, you get sacked, say goodbye to all the luxuries of life. Yeah you don't have a car so why not catch a taxi? Well because taxis run on meters and their rates are really high and you can't afford to catch one that extra $30.00 is what u may need to make payment for your needs. She makes $4,000 a month from all her jobs. How can she afford to pay for these things? Well through her credit card and she has to pay that also every month. It's not like she can afford to not have a credit card, if she doesn't her kids won't eat or find cloth to wear. Poor woman refuses to buy herself lunch at work. She gets 5 hours of sleep every night and deprives herself of any luxury because she can't afford it and her children come first. It's a vicious cycle and it consumes you, tell me a woman working like that without vacation, isn't she moving herself closer to death. She's my motivation. Let me finish school and start my business, she's never working again and will be chilling working on her farm (because she likes it ) in Naija (where she dreams of) She hasn't seen her parents and siblings and cousins in 10 plus years. She can't even afford to come home. So if you think it's easy and your problems will go away come to America. Remember those who are in America may not be able to leave. In America LIFE holds you captive. This is not to talk of the stress you deal with when you face the police, your boss, or an ignorant American or a racist idiot. (I can only speak of America, someone else can give the breakdown of UK or elsewhere) 4 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Nigerians Abroad Help Me To Travel Out by lucabrasi(m): 4:58pm On Apr 11, 2008 |
yes u have a good house and prolly a good job/car,how many people have that opportunity in nigeria?the fact that u cannot je gbese means u have a choice ,what of people who have no choice at all?most nigerians dont get there and spend a life time abroad,they send money home and then return back to lagos,the reason why u ll get some still there is because they do not have trustworthy people in nigeria to i.e build a house of them,and set up a business plus nigeria being the situation it is people are desperate to get their hands on your money,personally if i had no hope at all and me and my family have no hope of gettn a good education,good life pursuit ill jump at any opportunity even government help to have a good education,the way the system works in the uk is once you are given a loan u do not get to pay it back till you start working, if that kind of system isnt near perfect and will give hope to the hopeless,then i wonder what will, so many children of below 20 who are in kirikiri for stealing a few thousands of naira will be better ppl if they had that opportunity |
Re: Nigerians Abroad Help Me To Travel Out by lucabrasi(m): 8:01pm On Apr 12, 2008 |
for anyone abroad that thinks 100,000 naira(400 pounds or therebouts)is enough to start something,not thinking about the guy's house rent,electricity bills,transportation costs even if its molue,feeding,not even mentioning clothing at all,toiletries while the threat of armed robbers s always hanging, i suggest you come down to nigeria with the same amount,no extra provisions for the stuffs written above and then live on 400pounds and also use it to start a profitable thriving business and im sure the guy will re consider |

@sugabelly sorry i know u were reffering to the poster but just wanted to chip in,how come you r in university in the united states and not one of the various universities in nigeria both private,and federal? the mere fact that you are not paying for your fees and your mum is,you have been to many countries and have not had to go through the rigours of visa e.t.c all shows you r above the normal nigerian like this dude,so you cant possibly know what he is going through compared to what he ll face in the united states. everything you have said about america and all other countries as well are true but the fact still remains thatthe people discouraging the guy all opt for either staying abroad or having an education abroad while we dont know if the guy is sleeping in a mosquito infested house in one run down house or something. i have not gone through the stress of visas as well and in my own case i was forced to study in uk as i ould have preffered nigeria so i cant realli say i know what the guy is going through but one thing i know for sure is that situations are diffrent and standards of living is diffrent. if you live abroad,study abroad,have rich or well off or above average parents who sort you out e.t.c i dont think anyone who falls under that category or anyone who has not experienced the same thing can be on any moral highground to tell the guy nigeria is a better option for him,his posting on here and asking for help is prolly because he doesnt want to go as an illegal immigrant but through legit means. 3 Likes |

Well i agree with most of the things uv said but here are sum flaws! the people discouraging the guy all opt for either staying abroad or having an education abroad while we don't know if the guy is sleeping in a mosquito infested house in one run down house or something.This is still my point! I have extremely strong ties to my country, and I am proud of it to a fault.Having strong ties does not automatically guarantee you a visa in the American embassy. . .if u don't know . . now u know. . My advise to you is to be calm. Stop trying to run away from your countryWhat an advise. . . . . had it been that the poster was in your position. . . . .he would not be here looking for help so i think you're off the case! Well without wasting so much time. . . Poster here is the truth It is really cool and sweet if u live in the developed country . . . . . i must confess! Dont let anybody deceive you that its not easy. . .this . . .that. . this. . .and yet they are there! (although its not easy but IT IS BETTER!!) But i am very sorry i can't help you. . . . but the fact that i want you to get into your head is that! Living here is wayyy better than Nigeria. . . .if u have what it takes to come over. . .then you are welcome! Just don't overstay. . .be a law abiding ***''legal immigrant''***** and you're good to go! Good luck bro!! 2 Likes |
