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.

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, smiley smiley smiley 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...

mylunch: U hv a misguided believe,i reside here in europe,with absolute certainty,life is tough here.Aside lack of jobs,ur wages are lesser than your bills.Yes good roads and all of that,but u pay through ur nose for it.As soon as am done with my masters,am headed home,i can't wait to leave here.I hv couple of friends and relatives in d UK,they sob daily,what is d reason for this?life is tough.Most times they ask for loan from me,and d answer to this request is obvious,i don't have enough to spare.Am aware of d power failure,so what i have in mind is to come along with a moderate solar to power me 24hours,nigeria is blessed wt plenty of sun light,so i would use this to my advantage.Is better back home,i know what am talking about.

Re: Nigerians In Diaspora - Is It Really Still Rosy Out There? by guddylover(m): 3:11pm On Aug 07, 2012
In fact, you have said it all

love4ual: my advice for any one coming to america who is still below 25yrs of age is to go and study nursing whether male or female....................as a guy it was not easy for me to agree to study nursing but i decided to abandon my 300 level course at nnamdi azikiwe university to study nursing.....................the future looks brighter for me than ever.......

i will have my liscence sometime this yr .....but i am already doing fine in the health sector..................

with nursing you will have ur papers quickly.............the demand is so high that there is so much shortage in the major cities of the us........new york, california and texas......

being a nurse you can come to the united states quickly because you do not need labor certification..............they do not look at experience sometimes or where you are coming from or even legal status because there is so much shortage in the industry.................infact most of the philippines and indian nurses who work here in houston cannot even speak english properly and yet the are employed making about $5,000 or more monthly............................my sister works double shift and so makes about $9,800 monthly.......................

nursing certificate is the only certificate that is recognized in the usa irregardless of the country you are coming from.............most nursing agencies will pay for your accomodation, car and board exam....................once you pass and start working you will re-imburse them back.........

any other degree from nigeria is rubbish......

most nigerians in the us are not properly informed about the health sector in the us even though they know nurses are on top.........................some of the jobs are also dirty but when you see dollars your eye go open and you can do just anything...........

while some people are still going through tough times in the us....there future is much brighter if only they are exposed to the right information.............canada, the us and australia are very good........i will advice anybody not to travel to the uk.........is really tougher out there and my friends always tell me that we are the very lucky ones to have been in the states.........

pls forget other degree certificates from home........because it will never be recognized abroad..........

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.

werepeLeri: You hear a lot these days - and you keep wondering how our bros and sis in the diaspora cope. 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!

ekt_bear: Btw, as much as some might use a thread like this as an opportunity to bash Nigeria, my sister has found Nigeria better for her career than the US.

She worked for a few years at a mediocre, unknown accounting firm in the US. But now has a job with a much better firm in Nigeria.

So I think the important thing is to be open to opportunities anywhere in the world, rather than to rule anything out.

Pls tell this to Rhino.5 dm(dead.man) , i hate it when ppl who work in mortuary and tube as cleaners will come here and talk trash, why will i live as a 3rd citizen somewhere. when i can make Nigeria comfortable for myself, this guy talk like a baby, i dont even know how old he is, Afam4eva pls ignore that dunce.

Much better than a system run by retardeen Goatlock for sure and whose shaite is licked by lapdogs like the OP. In a system that works, not chaotic like odechukwu's Nigeria, you will not cope you will actually excel without any connections or boyboyism. Get an education, work as hard and smart as you can in whatever you do, you will be able to afford and have everything you need and get even the things you want while keeping your dignity and humanity. You will not have or need millions of dollars in your account like sellouts like the OP who help to rip off the patrimony of their fatherland to feather their individual nests but you will have enough and more depending on your talent, hard work, dedication and focus.

You will have good roads to drive almost everywhere you turn, healthcare that will take care of the smallest injury to the most life threatening ones without needing to travel to another country, buy or rent a good house / apartment, buy a very good car, take trains or buses, never have to worry that someone might bomb you and your leaders will do nothing but brag, get the latest electronics, travel to any part of the planet without needing to die at the embassy applying for visa, if you lose your job you never need to be an eye-servicer like OP to survive because your employment insurance benefits kick in for several months, enough to find another job, you can wake-up everyday and have peace and a clear conscience not those seared with hot irons like that in an environment where the quality of life is determined by how many billions you have looted of the country's wealth. All these you can do without carrying a credit card debt and be in control of your life. You will not need USELESS PRAYERS for NEPA to bring light, or BH or defend a good for nothing foolishe leader like Badluck Jonathan in order to get your own share of his N 1 B cassava bread handout! This is the real meaning of wealth and a good life not primitive acquisition!

Re: Nigerians In Diaspora - Is It Really Still Rosy Out There? by Nobody: 3:49pm On Aug 07, 2012
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...

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.
