You mean like in Luanda, Angola; or maybe Nairobi, Kenya; actually, what about Dakar, Senegal.

When you ride through raq u better check your mirror

Easy dey Waka o, no play play for Chicago

Welcome to Chicago. Yes, it's a beautiful city indeed. And actually quite clean for a BIG city. It's also known for its skyscrapers and architecture. I'm actually one if those that take the metra downtown for work. Did that for about 15 years or so. But now it's all remote work. Back in the days before COVID, there would be a whole lot more people than this in the loop. Especially during the week.

There are good people in Chicago, and it's a decent city in terms of infrastructure. However, it's a part of the Midwest. And offshoring hit their economy very hard. Much of the Midwest never recovered. News and oyinbos will always talk about the symptoms, but never the disease (e.g. private prison labor sl*very, systemic racism, and shipping entire industries overseas).

Oyinbo media also makes it a point to show negative images of African/black people. There are many reasons for this, but one major reason is that the simple idea of happy, healthy black people living well infuriates oyinbos. It literally makes them angry to see black people not suffering or having something wrong with them.

Their media will also try to demonize random things, for example, if a bunch of teen oyinbos do a prank or get in a fight, it may never make it to media. But if black teens do something arguably far less harmless, they may try to paint it as some dangerous trend or crime.

Funny how you turn this into a black discrimination thing....I mean, such insecurity.

Five months from now I’ll be in Chicago
God is so wonderful

Did you know??


A person who is okay with not being liked is a powerful human being.

Emotionally independent to sm extent yes, mentally strong to sm extent maybe cos of less clog bt doesn’t necessarily make u smart or powerful and in extreme cases it can make u a weak person.

@silverdawn give this crook money at your own peril.

do you know me before? A year ago I would have easily fed you. But i understand. I wanted to say what I passed through this year may I befall you but it's not worth it. Because you won't be able to survive it. Just don't be quick to reply someone you don't know just for some likes. Take care my friend bye

Go and get a job, leave all this yeye story. Nobody wants to hear it.

I love adventures and travels. During this holiday, I have some few time for that and I decided to visit the third largest city in the USA. Chicago is indeed a mega hub in the state of Illinois. According to the 2010 census, the population was 2,697,480. I am fascinated by skyscrapers and indeed, Chicago has a lot of them. I know New York City(NYC) is another city of skyscrapers , but I shelved my visit to NYC due to the brutal cold and many restrictions as result of the rising omicron strain. However, NYC is still on my bucket list. I took a train ride operated by AMTRAK to the Chicago union station.

i can as well download pictures of beautiful cities and buildings online n post them here,.....bros, where r you in all these numerous pictures to attest to the fact that u actually travelled to Chicago?

One major reason I chose to not go live offshore especially United States of America! The other day a well-to-do black man took his family out to dinner. On their way out of the restaurant a white man met him at the door and plunged a knife into his stomach right in the presence of wife and children killing him. The white man subsequently said he did that out of frustration and fury at the sight of a black man who is well-to- do! What a society!

go up through the thread. Do that now please. Please don't allow someone cry and curse you. People that scammed me in May I didn't curse them, the one chance I was in in October i didn't curse them as well you know i am a Christian. I forgive them and prayed fir god to forgive them so they don't catch them and kill them so they go to hell. Like I said in January I would have comfortably fed you, you never see anything my brother and pray make you no see ok. You no work pass me. You no hustle reach me. Just pray you don't lose your wife of cancer and you get scammed of everything you have. Look through those picture and first two won't be your portion. Do you owe me an apology. No be every body wey beg for nairaland be scammer or crook. I don feed people for Twitter this year. You hear me

I’m sorry. I hope you find your bearing again and get back on your feet. But please, stop spamming NL.

Just between November and December this year alone, trucks, buses etc ram into school children, passengers and commuters killing over 50 people and not a single investigation or acknowledgment from Governors, Senator ...just another day in our morally conscious society!

Walking down to the Millennium park from the Union station takes approximately 22 minutes. Here is one of the Chicago PD parked vehicle I came across. In the States, the police I came across so far are quite friendly. Though, there are some reports of unpleasant attitudes by some especially to people of colour, but I have not experienced that. They are highly trained and professional. Vehicles like this do have high tech interior design. I could remember one encounter of driving with a friend and we were flagged down. The officer politely asked for the driver license and went to his car to do some cross checking. [b]He returned to informed us that we were not suppose to drive that route in a certain hour of the day.[/b]We were not given a ticket but a warning after which he bade us farewell.

Any reason for that please?

Nice thread OP hope you enjoy your holidays, any plans to visit some culturally significant part of Chicago?

what does it take to be an Architect in Chi town or Yankee generally? I mean rectangular tall buildings everywhere all looking the same

it's fine my young friend. You guy's should just learn to be compassionate with words ok. My wife died of cancer in January you hear? You know how much it cost to treat cancer in Nigeria? I managed it for 6 months till she died in January? May I wanted to sell cement I was scammed of my last 600k, I was broken and did many things by October i had saved 200k and I was robbed in a one chance car, everything was wiped off and they still borrowed 130k that I sold my properties to pay for. Omo Yoruba ni e abi? Pray not half of what I went through. I have written a suicide note this year, I have been to the third mainland bridge? If you can't say anything meaningful please just keep shut next time make person no pray for you for what you no nothing about. Merry Christmas and enjoy it with your family

Op its 247 dangerous in South side Chicago. Pls don't go there. Your accent and dressing will betray you. 89th street, 91st, dog town all full of sh**t. Have seen enough to know better! I've seen and smelled death in Chicago, ain't no love in the street of Chatham. One more thing real quick, anyone who is an outsider is an immediate threat. Be careful over there if you want to live to see another day. Peace!! ✌

After crossing from the Millennium to the lakefront trail, I decided to follow the trail as it leads to the Navy pier. This a bicycle rack here where bikes can be rented if you have the app on your phone. However, I decided to walk instead and explore the lakefront. From this side of the trail, you can some beautiful high rise buildings. The construction teams behind these designs did a good job. Unfortunately, my phone camera couldn't do well in capturing this beauty(Need to improve on that)

It is such a beautiful place

This is a ship turned a restaurant along the shoreline. However, you need a membership to access it. Savouring your meal and enjoying the sight of this large expanse of water could be fulfilling. I realized that food is not only basic in the west, but also seen as an art.

HEAVEN4444:
not impressed. its a rugged corrupt city. bad roads corrupt cops. segregated neighborhoods, too cold, winters are too cold and summers too hot. shovel your car out of snow for hours everyday. drive for 2 hours to look for parking spot. yeye city. i prefer ijebu igbo

Lol but it looks good enough in pictures to impress the japa crew.

Indeed, the streets I walked through are really clean. I was told I can get a day pass to get to use the Metra. But, I decided to just stay around the loop and explore during this visit. I would endeavour to go around some other time. Yes, COVID really made a lot of workers to work remotely for now. Nevertheless, I still saw many people but I felt a little bit awkward to point camera at crowd while walking the streets.

Still following the trail, I saw this yacht anchored along the shore guard. I know this would be common sights in places like California and Florida area . During winter, people especially from the Midwest do head to places like Florida to escape the biting pangs of the cold. It is warmer and sunny in Florida . No wonder they call it the Sunshine state.
