where are they all running to? I hope the embassy will deny half of them visa.

Who they won leave Naija for?

This is an unreasonable and illogical thought. People apply for visa with different intentions and you're there sprouting crap? They applying and leaving the country is NOT your damn business.

Yes indeed such Nigerians exist, they do not overstay but they only end up giving birth in America for free access to future overstay. grin grin(
ROSSIKE:


[size=15pt]You're talking rubbish. Most of those visas are given to Nigerians who are visiting tourists, there on holidays or shopping etc and who don't 'overstay' and are not there looking for ''greener pastures''. YOU DO REALISE SUCH NIGERIANS EXIST? You must prove you have a reasonable income here etc before you can get that visa. You and your ilk must be CRAZY if you think those visas are being given to migrating folks!![/size]

There really isn't any need for Nigerians to apply for visas to other countries since we have it all over here. We've got the best tourism spots, lots of top class shopping centres mainly just shoprite, a very peaceful environment with Boko Haram roaming the streets and kidnapping at the south, very strong and stable economy with everyone going on strike and currency value depreciating everyday, constant lack of power supply which makes us more productive, bad roads which makes travelling a big risk and puts our cars in the mechanic's workshop for days, government officials looting our paid taxes for their own benefits, best education system in the world, top class medical and social welfare of the people... I can go on for days.

From the aforementioned, Nigerians don't have to apply for visa and just remain in the country./s

They are non-immigrant applications which means it's for other reasons not settlement. These could be medical, tourist, business travel, education or research.

Motherland! The article i read made mention of 38,000 increase this year. I know if nigerians where given the option to relocate to USA 70% of our young men will gladly relocate and never come back. Plus people are getting their visa ready so they can run when disaster strikes next year. i'm not a doomsday preacher but we all know something bad might happen next year.With the level of hate i see in the politics section and all kinds of racial slurs i see there i just know the devil has already gotten the right amount of disciples he needs for him to carry out his evil plans. we should all watch how we speak on NL,The nigerian army can't even protect a single L.G.A talkless of protecting the whole country. spread more love and less judgement!

I've been in the US for almost 30 years and I have never been gunned down. As a matter of fact I have never had a firearm drawn on me by a LEO. I have never met any Nigeria who has ever had LEOs draw firearm or shoot them. Please don't try to make this to look like we have rabid Cops who go around hunting and killing civilians.

As for buying firearms, unless you're a felon you can walk into a Walmart and buy weapons and ammunition amongst with bread and eggs. Buying guns is not something reserved for "whites".

1) Something happened that day between Wilson and the person that got killed. Wilson must have interacted with many citizens that day that he did not kill. It takes two to tango. I never ever argue with a police officer, I get my ticket and take my case to court. It makes no lick of sense to argue with a person who has a gun and is authorize to use it.

2) I don't even buy my kids toy guns. Of all the kind of toys that you can buy your child why a replica gun? If I serve on a jury I would not find an Officer guilty for firing to defend his life if someone pointed a replica gun at him. You going anything at me that can harm me then you'll be dead.

Folks, let's look at personal control here.

STFU... If a person shoots someone after an argument there's a 90% chance of it been tagged "self defence". But if a person doesn't shoot it has a 90% chance of been tagged "murder".

A grandma is shopping with her grandson. The grandson picks up a toy and the grandma shouts: "Degree put the toy back"! A woman who was shopping heard this and asked, is that his name? The grandma replied "Yes I sent his mother to university and this is what she brought back"



Back to the topic, I was one of those and thank God I was given. Mine is just for holiday sha not greener pasture.
