The guy knows what he wants and what optims are potential in US, and decided that even if it was not a top salary, it would be worth it over the Nigerian options... Maybe he prefers a better sense of appealing environment... You can be rich in Nigeria, but living there still exposes one to all the 3rd world standard effluents and traffic and instability of the economy's inflation and so on...

You can work in general labor in US and live a cheap lifestyle but always have a home with electricity, hot and cold water on tap, street environments that are still tame and safe even when traffic is at its worse.. No daily risk of being extorted for bribe any time you try to use government service or encounter officers of the law.. Even have a car and have potential for better income opportunities to come about.
Mortality rate even among the rich in Nigeria is enough to conjure thoughts that if the rich people who died had the option to come again and live more poor in the US and give up a comfortable status in Nigeria? Better is better when you are alive and well to know it..
What good is any salary in Nigeria when many don't even get paid for months consecutively?

Its his choice.. USA is full of Mexicans and people from other countries with no passport or any papers.. They crossed the border in hiding and entered to begin working and a new life... I know personally of american farm owners who refuse to hire American workers if there are foreign workers from poor countries available to work.. He said the foriegn workers get the job done in good time with nothing but gratitude for the opportunity.. He also said the american workers work slow and sloppy and complain how small the salary is... And they just go and buy drugs and ogogoro with it anyway..
I worked the mans farm for 1 harvest season (3months) and it is true what he said.. Even the oldest person working there was a woman from a poor country.. She harvested the most out of all of us... She would easily make $2400.00 a month there because paid by quantity..

Every where i go in america i see new immigrants legal and illegal every where.. Its reached a point now where you hear so many languages being spoken anytime you go out..
How is this one more man going to make a difference when more will keep coming and fill any space he doesnt take. USa has a real issue with people just coming with no papers or passport... At least this man is on record with a passport and a proper/legal training tenure..
He will actually be a step above the common illegal immgrants and he will speak english as well.. For every one like him, there are several others who had no papers or documents ever, they stole into the land hiding and they dont speak english and grow comfortable here and even develop a sense of entitlement to speak spanish only and behave like it is the english speakers who have to adjust or shutup..

I beg, this man described here, is educated and english speaking.. He will be much more appreciated than the overwhelming throngs of others who are filling this place up fast... almost Every city in america has african refugee communities now from Africa like somalia and so on. Same with Indians, asians and all the South american spanish speakers... I see them every day no matter what city i go to here..

I am not encouraging him.. I am just saying he is aready here in the form of millions of others even worse than him.. So what difference will it make being that he has been here and seen for himself to understand what it is he is choosing for himself... His choice and the facts of what goes on here in USA... I beg, the Oyinbo people here will thank him for at least speaking english, its rough here now with so many foriegners working here and cant speak english to know what you are requesting and paying for.. So the transaction is often fumbled because of this..

There is no friend lol, the poster is the person planning to stay.

@ babeface3 Whilst I believe America has more options for processional than Nigeria, leaving a job in Nigeria to be an illegal is very very risky. Makes it very hard to get professional jobs and even if you eventually regularise which may take years, you have a big gap in your CV which makes it harder to get into the professional spectrum.

Bros I have worked in 2 different countries in Europe before finally deciding to settle in Nigeria with my family. Your speculations are funny

ttmacoy:
I get what you are trying to say but he needs to carefully evaluate.

These Mexican illegals you refer to are usually work manual labour and we're not professional workers in Mexico hence such farm jobs in the US is a big step up for them. The posters "friend" already earns a fairly ok salary in Nigeria and I assume is educated and a professional. Risking that to do labour or farm work is different. There is a reason why many medians tend to do gardening work and such manual work which doesn't not require qualifications.

If for example poster was a driver in Nigeria earning N20k or so, bring an illegal and doing such farm work would be a huge step up because he would earn far more, live a better life (albeit always looking over shoulder until he has paperz) and more importantly his future kids will be citizens and have options.

But if he already has a professional job then it's different. I guess it's all relative and the person is the only one who can decide how good/bad his life in Nigeria is in comparison the being an illegal immigrants in the states.

All I would say is think and research carefully and manage expectations.

This dude had concluded his training program sponsored by his employer and planning to stay back to search for something better in the US.

I am wondering why someone should decide to become an undocumented immigrant in a foreign country abandoning a job that earns him good 200 bales every month in Nigeria.

Can you help with advise!
