Nursing and Social Works seem to be the major courses that help immigrants get jobs fast in the US and UK. I have folks who even got employment in the UK with just a Diploma in Social Works from a Nigerian Uni. She later did a degree in Social Works so she could rise and become a mamber of their association. |

The fact is, No one plucks money on the tree anywhere in the world. If you believe you will be successful and you don't stop in the process, you will definitely be. Regardless of the part of the world you are, but no matter how bad it is, or how bad it may be. Nigeria is way worse and won't chose her over here. 1 Like |

andre99: Walahi no place like home, I stay in Colardo not too far from the cinema where the Dark knight shooting incident happened, we are afraid because another incident happened in Winconsin temple, walahi I want to leave Usa for Canada, problem too dey here, it is just the beginning of the shooting spree here in USA. Don't come here o! A lot people have access to gun and can pull the trigger anytime on you. Chill jor, relax, while it's that serious, it's not that seriously bad. America just like Nigeria has it's own problem. America is shooting spree, Nigeria is kidnapping, bombing, and what have you, should we now say it's bad to live in Nigeria? Besides, these were isolated incidents... |

Its certainly not rosy anywhere in the world but I think one is better off in Naija than anywhere else,I lived in the USA for six months then came back to settle in Naija. You can live in Naija and work abroad that's if you know how,I work as players scout/agent and don't need to travel out of the country and the club pays my commissions into my dom accounts when due for any of my players signed. I also work as mandate to commodity companies abroad without leaving Naija,with the few months I lived abroad I concentrated in gathering contacts than hustling. Now I have contacts everywhere as I can communicate with them,close a deal and receive my commissions without tax or govt bills. You can do anything in Naija and make money enough to be comfortable without paying huge bills/taxes monthly, a friend of mine who live in UK with his German wife and three kids want to buy a Honda Babyboy,he plan to raise N1.2m in two months as he plans to send £1000 every two weeks so I can pay for the car on his behalf. That's a man who hold a degree and could not find a good job in the UK,now he has decided to enroll for master degree at the university of Liverpool maybe that can get him a better job. Things are not what they seem abroad,Nigerians are suffering overseas. Pride will not allow many of them to come back home,it is easier to survive in Nigeria than abroad as whatever you put in the market here generate sales. If you come back to Nigeria with $5000 you can start an import business with that amount and double it in less than two months if you know what you are doing,no tax no bills just you and money. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Abeg, this no be thread for uncultured language, uncultured statements etc. This is so others can learn from your experience out there. not rosy, not thorny! one thing is clear though - it's miles better in diaspora than having to fear the menace of armed bandits invading homes every passing night! 1 Like |

Keep on lying and changing your stories. The other day you claimed to be posting from London and even jokingly threw a jab at those living in Nigeria. those you described as "home based", only for me to call you out. Now,your projectile of lies has landed in Benin republic because we are ready to expose you, abi ? Do you have any shame?

I think it largely depends on what industry you're in and your legal status in your domiciled country. The economy is real bad at the moment but you have to agree with me that if you hold an Engineering degree with good grades, possess legal status, and work in the oil industry, you definitely have no feel for what others are experiencing. While there was also a recent downturn in the oil/gas industry, most professionals cant complain. Life is more than good. There are tonnes of nigerians doing relatively well in houston. I've a met a lot of the younger generation who are also doing well in the industry. Be it MWD's Cementing guys, wireline guys etc. Several 23 - 25 yr olds who have their homes paid for without any mortgage left. If you're banking in 100 - 130 grand per annum as a starter working as a service hand you cant complain but say life is good. On the other hand, if you're in other industries such as business and banking, na OYO be that oo cos layoffs are still going on daily. In all, wherever you are, make best use of the opportunites you have. Get an education, better your skills. @ The guy that is making noise about nurses in houston, guy abeg chill out, nurses aint got nothing on engineers in houston. Office engineers in the industry easily make way more than that just working 9-5 while the field rig workers double what your nurses make. The nursing route may be good for those without a technical degree. If you have an engineering degree, don't even listen to all those folks that will tell you to abandon it for nursing. Get a masters degree or sumthin and the sky'll be d limit... 1 Like |

Rhino.5dm:Since you can't make a headway in your life, i guess the best thing for you to do is to try to take as many people down with you. I aint going down with you. is it by force? Your life must be a more hopeless than hopeless because you've tried your hands at everything even 419, kidnapping and pick pocketing but nothing is working for you. Duse, just kill yourself and pray and satan accepts you into his kingdom. Btw, thanks for helping me advertise my forum. Now, it's time to shoot yourself. Oya, release. |
