[size=13pt] Biking in Houston won't get you too far, unless by bike, u mean "power bike" . If you don't have a car in Houston, u're quarter to being f***kd [/size]

dayokanu:

I cancelled my LA Fitness, Most apartments now have gyms in the complex

pDude:

Me sef I'm considering moving there too. Heard there are good opportunities there.

Ileke-IdI:


LOL ewwww. Esp those ppl who like putting their armpit over your head.

I'm moving because One particular school has the best rating for my program. And something about Texas just calls to me; same climate as over here, and not too expensive (FL is a retirement state, quite expensive).

tpia@:


the dc metro area is one of the best places to live, commuter wise.

not as crowded as new york (that might be changing though) and a bus stop/metro station on every corner.

unless someone moves to the suburbs, transportation is no problem.

pDude:

ronkebp: i want to move, because of the fun, i hear they always have. Philly is boring....

dayokanu:



nothing sucks like waiting for the metro bus in 100 degree sun

tpia@:


how about waiting in the snow.

kokoye:

Let me know when and / or if you decide to move to Houston.

Tolaaaaannni:

Ok so i will believe any other thing, but that bolded statement i won't believe. 20 cars in your mid twenties, Is your father a car maker?? Even obama gan hasn't had that much cars in his lifetime.

shymmex:

I'm in my mid-20s, and I've owned more than 20 super nice cars since I started driving

dayokanu:

You dare not walk in Houston or Dallas.

Those places as soo far away.

Walking on Beltway 8, or 59 in Houston, 635, George Bush turnpike, Loop 12 (In Dallas) Can land you anywhere from the morgue to to orthopaedic)

Drivers in Texas as also some of the craziest.
When I just got to Houston, I missed my bus the last of the day. And I trekked almost 3hours to get home, What you can do 15-20 drive

Ileke-IdI:



Nooooo too much NIgerians. Una go kill me. . . .

ronkebp:

Now, i will take the summer heat over the snow...any effing day.....i hate the cold with a passion.

afam4eva: It seems everyone is moving to Texas. Me sef dey go Texas Texaco bus/stop, Orile.

Kay-Dee:



[size=13pt] @Ronke Texas ain't no fun , well not as lively as it is up north.
@pDude, as per opportunities, u're damn right, its the place to be but still not 'a bed of roses'. [/size]

tpia@:


that figure is rather high, and not very favourable to you, imo.

ronkebp:

Must have burnt alot of calories, 3 hr walk is the way to go!!!!!

LFJ:

I believe at the right time your luck too will smile. When you have opportunity for interview, let us remember that, that is just a step, many people will be invited and mostly one luckiest person will be selected. What I noticed from most of our brothers and sisters is that we prefer short cut. If you rely on your Nigeria certificate to gain a professional job in US, it may not be easy because most of the recruiters or employers of labor don't trust our certificate. There is no doubt that the initial stage is always tough, but if you can try and forget who you are back home and face the reality in your new home the sky is the limit.

kokoye:

manny4life:
Look at you, calling me Nigerians, please, I heard that opportunities are there, but I'm going for other reasons, explore different ideas.

tpia@:




na obodo oyinbo oh.

dayokanu:

Actually Texas is good for Nigerians because the weather is similar to nigeria though can be very hot in Summer.

Texas is business friendl all the major corporations are moving to texas cos of the favourable tax regimes

Dallas and Austin are becoming a huge IT hub. Companies like Dell, IBM, Oracle, are already there or moving there

Many banks are also moving their operations to Texas. JPMorgan was the first to open followed by Citi and I heard BoA is moving too.

Texas. Houston Specifically is the Oil capital of the whole world. All Oil Companies have huge offices in Houston.

If you are a Naija Owambe person, then there is no reason you shouldnt move to Houston you would party like you are in oshodi

Most of the Naija Politicians and businessmen also frequent the area and have one or two houses/businesses there.

Kobojunkie: Houston even had it's own Naked Bike ride

manny4life:

You see, that's what I'm talking about... Let's get the party started

shymmex:

That's the problem with you pagans, you always think everyone is lying..

If you live in the UK, you would know people who have owned more than 30 cars in 6 -7 years...

Buy a slightly damaged car for cheap, fix it up, use it for 3 - 4 months - and sell it off for almost twice the price you got it for...

Some people do that for a living smh... And why should I lie

tpia@:
^you must be from jos or its environs.
