How Can One Make It Abroad And What Is The Probability That You Would Make If Y

make it? What does that mean? An average Nigerian abroad is struggling to survive. How easy is it to "make it" when the system taxes you out of your pants and everything has to be paid for? You can live a good life surely, but I don't know about becoming a millionaire if that is what you mean by "make it".

wow i never knew things were free in nigeria 

If you get a visa and would like to move to Oyiboland.please do your homework well.
Friends and family that will house you will do it for just a short while and then you become a nuisance,they get tired of feeding you and sooner or later you know you have to move and if you don't have the right visa,it is extremely difficult now to even get a job washing corpses in a funeral home without a green card or some form of work permit.

It's not as easy as the average Nigerian thinks.
The average immigrant with no papers works many jobs and long hours on meagre wages to pay rent and eat.
There has been many cases of suicides and murders(husband killing wife) due to the stress this place brings and it's not made easy by family back home calling and demanding heaven and earth not knowing that Joe is barely scraping by.

The 3 best ways to come here without an immigrant visa is with a student visa,a J or an H visa(for exchange students or skilled workers after hire)
If you come with a visitor's visa,you have a tough road  ahead.
I don't want to discourage you but I'm telling you the hard facts.

Its very interesting how things aren't the way we actually thought the were before we had a first hand experience. Life in the west is amazing, but the fact remains that, its not a free zone. Citizens payed for the society and are still paying for it. Like the other threaders posited, life in the uk and america is not handled with kids gloves. papers or no papers. well i would offer a simple statistical fact from 03. "78% of americans have never seen 20 thousand dollars in their lifetime". Another 72% have never saved it up, now naijas go figure.

So i'm wondering what is meant by "making it". i had had a friend emailed me to send him 20k dollars, just likes its 20 naira.This was even when I was in school. i was like na wao!.Keep in mind some folks, africans too, have also had it nice, private business owners.but they are in the minority. some of us are able to buy one two house, not because we went to the seller with ghanna must go. Listen in 04, i walked into a bank with 2350 dollars it took the bank less than 15mins to call the police and to get them there. I was upset, well u know, maybe because I was black and from the almighty NIGERIA, but they showed me a bank policy to that effect. has nothing to do with your skin pigmentation or ethnic orientation. Its the system. Now, when u sit back in nigeria thinking once u're in the US its "heaven on west" and u will make 50k dollars in two months, a rethink may be advisable. I have friends who are doctors, make about 200k a year and they can't even afford to spare a 100 dollars, why? because they do not have it to give outside the budget.

Conclusively, its not easy here in a different as its not easy in Nigeria.Once again, we naijas would answer me by saying, I think i would prefer the not easy in america than the not easy in Nigeria. Well I would respect that, but keep in mind that,its not as easy as u had envisage. its cool, but u would need alot of grace to standout here.

wow! i never knew those were free in nigeria 
_{sorry I'm just having fun}

this is a very important thread that should be in the front page! the 3 up there have explained the situation really well

p.s a bitlot of hardwork anywhere you are helps too

when did this become a notion the west is all that?

and all these talks about there are young men in nigeria earning this and buying that is all relative mate! youve been saying that for a while now.

If i live in aso rock ofcourse I'll say nigeria is an easy place to make money.

like I said Anywhere you are work Hard! don't expect anyone to give you kobo!
