U guys should stop all these nonsense....
Who told u Nigerians in USA struggle to earn 30 thousand dollars or live below poverty level.....
The average wage for nigerian Americans is 60 thousand dollars....
If u have relatives earning below that, tell them to stop being lazy n double their hustle....
If they can't break even in USA, there's no guarantee they will crack new grounds in naija where opportunity is limited n environment is harsh unless they've got solid connection with people in high places... .
Furthermore, there's nothing limiting the success of Nigerians or any immigrant in USA....
USA is what u make of it, there's no free meal anywhere.....
What u need is to study n understand the system, then build ur career around an area of competitive advantage...

The most successful ethnic group in USA today are the indians, not even white or Jews....
The average salary of an Indian in USA is 104 thousand dollars, almost double the national average....
These people control the low-cost hospitality industry in the US, they also dominates the IT industry- 40% of workers in Silicon Valley are Indians, they are also a strong Force in the Healthcare industry.
Nigerians in the US are also doing remarkably well, only they are yet to create a niche for themselves in a particular field....
But to say majority of Nigerians are suffering in the US is nonsense.
And by the way what do you mean by Menial jobs....
I hope you are not talking about artisan jobs like welding, plumbing, mechanic, electrician, carpentry, drilling etc
In case you don't know these are the jobs that fetches you good money both in the US and UK.....
In fact in the UK, these fields are completely dominated by the white, u rarely see blacks in those jobs....
For a foreigner or immigrants to break through, I guess you need to be extremely good....
What we should be doing is encouraging our youths in naija to go into these so called menial jobs, place a demand on these jobs by adding value to it n exploiting the opportunities that lies therein...
Not castigating those that that do it abroad...

Finally, I do agree that there are some invisible glass ceiling against foreigners with respect to career progression in some specific fields in the us n other western countries.....
In UK, building a career in banking, financial sector, Media, entertainment, human relations n PR could be frustrating for a foreigner....
But really like I posted earlier, it's not about doing follow follow n day dreaming about white collar jobs in a white man's world.....
Rather it's about exploiting the vacuum ignored by the natives or seeking fresh opportunities in areas of high demand n turning it into a lucrative venture....
For example, nigerians constitute a significant number if workforce in the NHS....
Yet, I'm not aware of any healthcare recruiting agencies owned by a nigerian.
These agencies come to africa to recruit doctors, nurses, radiographers, pharmacist etc for overseas healthcare industry.
What's stopping Nigerians with vast experience in healthcare recruitment coming together to establish such agencies.....
These agencies make good money with impressive revenue...
Glass ceiling can be shattered, enough of excuses.....

So what type of handwork do you suggest people should learn so as to improve their earning capacity?

First those in Lagos, what i know now is Uber or Taxify, who want to learn work fit learn driving

In benin if u fix tiles, do house wiring, pvc or pop, aluminum windows u can still earn more enough to take get of urself

Dj too d demand is increasing.

I called one of my little boy make he come fix pop for me, he his charging me 200k plus, dis his a boy of 18 and he his into pop not to talk of

welders carpenters or furniture makers

Anybody wen say handwork nor dey pay is a liar

See what poverty has caused on us?
If the OP should be granted two years America visa now, am sure he will swallow is his pride now now.

Poverty na bad thing ooo
From the nonsense the OP has been spewing, what I suspect is that he was deported from abroad, hence the bad-mouthing.

You don't live in Abuja. Don't mislead people who don't live here. I live here.

Kubwa? The least you can get a house around Deidei is 300k not to talk of Kubwa. Are you counting Deidei as part of Abuja?

Gwagwalada is nearly 60 kilometres away from Abuja. Who counts Gwagwalada as part of Abuja?

Abuja is Wuse, Maitama, Asokoro, Garki, Jabi, Lifecamp, Gwarimpa, Mabushi, Katampe and the upcoming Lokogoma( Lokogoma minus the terrible roads).

I live here. Abuja cannot measure with any city in the USA but still has high house rent. Call a spade by its name; Nigeria is a country to get out of.


Kubwa, jahi, gwarinpa is now counted as part of Abuja bro...

Mugu, there's no pride in living in the UK or US, so I wouldn't need to lie or brag about that. UK is a godforsaken country, but atleast they can market themselves very well to trap mumus like you to go there and provide cheap labour for them and stupid politicians to hide their loot.

As soon as my programme completes I will be on the first plane out of here.

Nigerians abroad, I advice you to manage your money and invest very well back home or in any other African country for that matter. Just have something to fall back on for the sake of your future. The kind of rat race life people live abroad is not good at all.

Dont say what you don't know... In Australia we oay just 0.2% of our income on Medicare and believe me, its worth a thousand. Ask people herw who saw their wives give birth with the best medical facilities without paying a dime

This type of Nigerian just like getting free things they dont pay for or work for but complain that nigeria is bad when they dont even support the country they moved to

Medicare Levy in australia is a flat 2% tax on your net income if it exceeds $21,655, plus a surcharge of up to 1.5% if your income is over $90k

it is calculated by the salary you collect

if you pay nothing on medicare in Australia it means you are a foreign resident that dont have dependent, dont work and poor)

or you meet certain medical requirements.

Many Nigerians lie to get many things abroad,passport and document falsification,name and age fraud,some will claim oppression because they are gay when they are not,some will claim boko haram problems when they dont even live in the north etc,if they properly check their documents well and properly investigate,most will be deported.

The fact he keeps comparing people who are illegal and doing menial jobs in the US to bank managers in Nigeria says it all.

Lol... And thats why i said you ignorant. Lemme tell you this. If you still say in UK, i can still manage to agree with you a bit, cos things are tough in UK than America and they have higher taxes. I know of families that were kn the UK for years buh later had to relocate to America for better life.

You sayin theres no way an immigrant doing same higher payi profeseion with someone doing similar profession in Naija is totally outrageous. I am still saying it, most immigrants even doing menial jobs in America are better than some peoplethose doing higher paying jobs in Naija talk more those doing higher paying job in America too.

I rest my case

I think it's all opinion based. For me, the man made a mistake as far as I am concerned.
Dvc is better cause it's sort of legal. These ones went on holiday visas, so getting their papers is either by arrangee marriage or seeking assylum.for me morally,its a no-no but they are willing to do that.i can't condermn or judge anyone.
i have visited and lived in some developed countries.i can tell you,its still easier to live in Nigeria.
its so sad that we have such hopeless leaders.There are so many simple things that make the lives of Nigerians a lot happier and also prolong life,like electricity,paved roads,serene environment, good waste disposal system, water,good housing... But no, our nonsense leaders wouldn't do it. These would make a world of difference in the life and orientation of Nigerians.
I completely agree with you. Just imagine if we had everything overseas here, electricity, good road, water, health and social security. In fact If you see the quality education primary school students there enjoy, learning chemistry at such age while we are here teaching 1+1 and an ss3 student can't identify chemicals. I just wipe for this country, left for me I'm leaving not just for the money or quality of life but for my children's future.

Mmehn u mean u have a nagging woman as a wife that's the worst thing that can happen to any man,as for the house once is close to papa bustop or cooperative I think I 'll be interested.
Felixv:
Reading through this thread explains carefully why Nigeria is and would always remain a 6th world country.

it takes me only 1 month to save $2k dollars and that is a fact.Now, the average American (at least the guys I work with),invest their money in their 401k,house,kids college education,summer vacations and some even invest in further education. I know one guy who has just completed an MBA program from one of the best business schools here in PA --how much did it cost him -a cool 85k.

my mortgage is 2200 dollars a MONTH, and I had two vacations this year -one to Thailand and one back to Lagos -where I stayed in 3 Marriott hotels-still got 3 kids lol , and nagging nurse as a wife.

Why do you think the smartest Chinese and Indians guys dream to work in the US --seeking the H1B visa desperately.

One guy was talking about 250k naria as being enough for a decent 2 bedroom apartment in lagos. hahahahahahaha

In aguda where I have a house -that would only get you a room a parlor. In my mothers place near isolo 250k would surely get you 2 bedroom flat.

Please don't go near bode thomas,adniran ogunsanya,ikeja,ajah --not to talk of lekki ..

The bottomline is that the American society is very advanced,they really do not need illiterates from Africa who are governed by a bunch of thieving national assembly members.

I really do not care how much a bank manager in Nigeria earns -he is probably stealing more than he is earning.

And if anyone needs a bungalow to rent , I have one in badore going for a 1m NAIRA
