If you're truly making that money in Nigetia then you'll be a complete dunce to abandon that for the US.

Trust me on that. I've been here since 86 btw.

7500 naira is equivalent to 377 dollars, if exchange rate is #199 per $, so you know.

And I said you don't know me!
Anyway have never been to America in my life! But have been to some europe country and I had to spent over time in the country due to some things I need to achieve...after my success I found my way back in my dear country. ..so I have a bit clue on what I'm advising the guy

Fair enough but what you are advising the op is unworkable under that condition.

You haven't shared anything that blew up my skirt. How much currency exchange have you done in the past 3 moths? Care to compare receipts?

What point are you trying to make exactly.

Why are you guys so up in arms for me choosing an option that was put forward by the OP himself?

For her sis to invite him!.surely she got a plan for him after the six month.

Can you think of any legitimate plan that involves hiding in the house for 6 months before getting genuine paper? Does that not worry you that somebody traveled to America with genuine visa but not allowed to leave the house for 6 months?

My point is that #75k ($377) per month is not a lot of money, i wouldn't call her a dunce if she quits... .

You wouldn't but I would definitely call her a dunce.

75k is a lot of money for a single upwardly mobile Nigerian in Nigeria. Of that I am unwavering because I know better and many people have reaffirmed that. Heck, even folks have asked the OP to tell them how they can get the old job if he decides to leave

The fact dat am responding 2 ur qstn reflects I like u so much as I have dz unusual declination 4 typing....GO To THE US, THANK ME LATER

My Mother In Law was out and about the very next day here. Why? Because her paperwork was legitimate from Nigeria.

Nothing good can come out of starting your new life in a place by hiding in a house for 6 months. Or maybe OP is using the word hiding in a wrong context.

sorry bro, but u need to expand your thinking

and you need to research what I have posted

Probably...because I can't imagine any loving sister putting his brother in such situation.

She said she would help me travel to the States but she would keep me indoors in her house for 6 months pending when my papers allowing me to move around the US would be ready.

I'm already receiving 75,000 naira per month here in Nigeria and still single.

Please is there any advise from the house?

Sounds like BS....wow u just stay indoors for 6 months and this work permit or whatever will just turn up for real? U got mama America for a sister, that's!

Dude make a plan. Your sister means well. Think what to do after de 6 months. Truss me even peeps earning 400k plus in naija would kill for a chance like dis.
but pray First o. Make u sabi wetin God wants u to do to Actualise ur potential. Try search for ebankole and dream interpretation. No jones o

My brother, please pack your bag and forward march to the USA - this will benefit you and especially your own family in the long run IF you have Faith in God, Ambition, Endurance, and you can Always Remember the Son of Whom you Are, No Fraud, Don't join almighty 419ers, and don't $pend your Future at Present. No matter what, you will be far better to make it in USA than Nigeria. You are currently making #900, 000 less than US $5,000 a year - what can you accomplish with that, you cant buy land in the city, you cant send 1 or 2 kids to a good private schools, you cant leave in a good flat, you cant even assist your siblings - Don't Waste the Opportunity - Forward March to USA - YOU WILL MAKE-IT BIG where others are failing.

first I disagree with those who say 75,000 is nothing. the starting salary of a bsc holder in the federal civil service is 75,000k. people get married n raise families with the amount. they buy cars and embark on building project. its all about frugality n understanding. the average wage in china is $500, yet they have the fastest rising middle class in the world. we earn n spend our salary in naira not in dollars, thus any attempt at comparison or conversion makes no sense.


now at op my piece of advise;
dont travel out of this country illegally or by fraudulent means. trust me its not worth it.
ur present status cannot get u a visa easily in any us embassy, so I dont really know how ur sister intends to bring you in.
travel out only if u have a valid visa. it doesn't matter the type. be it visitor, student, work visa. So long its genuine, take the risk and make the best use of the opportunity.

Wait a minute. What is this? A rational Nairalander? Impossible

I completely agree with you that 75k is very good for a single person in Nigeria who has a plan for the future.

For Nairalanders who are making that amount, don't despair, you're doing good. Don't listen to those who want to put you down, they have worse in their life and just flexing on the web.

CityNG:

you're welcome.

tonero230:

You should offer that figment of your imagination job to Nairalanders that need it though.

But we all know it doesn't exists and is just beer parlour talk

Not really but I can tell you there is way to get a genuine paper after 6month in america...I won't go into details...but I know people who runs it with a million naira for a stay and work in the states...so you don't know other peoples plan until u cee them achieve a thing

Alcatraz001:
@ Op please don't mind this people who are advising you to stay baack in Nigeria oooo, they are not happy for you.

Please ask your self if you see hope in this Country? How much is 75k? Please take this opportunity with both hands,before you know it you would start a job after getting the papers in the US. I want you to think about the quality of Life that the US offers and not the slave wages being paid in Nigeria. Nigeria jst survived a Civil War by whiskers because God intervened through the US and Britain but there is still tension in the Air.

Just sit down and think about all you have to gain by moving to a more developed and stable country.

May God give you the wisdom to make a good decision.

he remains a second class citizen and may only live on funds for refugees maybe... if he perhaps get ill during the 6 month, won't he still get deported when he seeks treatment. Remove this assylum seeking mentality and you see yourself go higher.

tokaiki:
It is not always greener at the other end but I'll rather take the risk than stay put with a 75k job. @Op after a couple of years you'll realize your risk paid off. You can live the American dream. A word they say is enough for the wise.

what's the American dream? The Nigerian dream is much more possible. When you start thinking right and learn to love who you are.
