we thank God, please am not trying to attack anyone bt i felt the issue need not be argued on cos the difference is clear in terms on infrastructure even though they may be charging equilvalent rents per month.I used to work in Lekki and my company pays about 2m per year for rent and we still struggle to get water and other things needed but here in US,everything is available once you pay your bills.

I beg my people let us pray that God may touch the hearth of our leaders,let us compare Naija to Taiwan Malaysia,Singapore first before we begin to compare and contrast with world leading countries,one of my new year resolution is to stop responding to unreasonable argument on this forum.There is no way one can give what one dont have, just like asking a man born blind to describe color yellow,when I went for my visa collection I met a woman who owns(not rent) more than five buildings in lekki, she said she slept at the beach for 7 days prayers just to get US non immigrant VISA.May God bless Us this year and grant everyone who so desire a visa to see how the world looks like, it is better experience than imagine.

Just for non - immgirant visa. God i tank u for ur mercy on me

gunners4u: Just for non - immgirant visa. God i tank u for ur mercy on me

Its God's doing

gunners4u: Just for non - immgirant visa. God i tank u for ur mercy on me

Yes gunner,didnt you see the long line of non-immigrant when you went for your interview? when you get to POE again you will see sea of heads of non-immigrant.

Happy New Year My Fellow Citizens..

Yes bros adesoji, i saw many non-immgirant applicants even 6.30am time applicants

The 5 Best Cities for Your Career in 2013



By Alida Moore, PayScale.com

If you are considering moving to a new city, it might be smart to factor wage and employment potential into your city choice. But how do you know which cities are thriving and which are struggling?

To find out, we consulted online salary database PayScale.com. The PayScale Index analyzes wage growth by metro area. Katie Bardaro, Director of Analytics at PayScale, told us which industries are growing. "IT, biotech, and oil and gas are all seeing significant growth," Bardaro explains. "All three industries are experiencing increased demand for their products and services, which means they are hiring and paying accordingly," she says.

Which cities came out on top? Read on to find out more about the places in the U.S. that enjoy a relatively low unemployment rate and relatively high wage growth.

5. Seattle
Unemployment Rate: 7.3 percent
Wage Growth: 3.1 percent

The Emerald City is well-known for its presence in the world of tech. The overly caffeinated workers in this city enjoy careers in IT, aerospace and software development. Popular jobs in Seattle include program manager, IT, senior finance manager, technical program manager and aerospace engineer.

4. Minneapolis
Unemployment Rate: 5.3 percent
Wage Growth: 3.2 percent

Minneapolis enjoys an economy that thrives on manufacturing, including electronics, medical equipment, and machinery. Popular jobs in Minneapolis include actuary, senior business manager, project manager, marketing and category manager.

3. Boston
Unemployment Rate: 5.9 percent
Wage Growth: 3.3 percent

Living in one of America’s oldest cities, Boston workers enjoy careers in healthcare, biotechnology and finance. Popular jobs in Boston include principal scientist, principal software engineer, research scientist and research associate.

2. Dallas
Unemployment Rate: 6.3 percent
Wage Growth: 3.5 percent

Known for big hair and bigger lifestyles, this Texas city specializes in telecommunications, defense and technology. Popular jobs in Dallas include landman, radio frequency engineer, senior recruiter, and tax accountant.

1. Houston
Unemployment Rate: 6.3 percent
Wage Growth: 3.9 percent

The largest city in Texas is home to many industries, including aeronautics and healthcare. Healthcare is growing due to the increasing population. As the population ages, more healthcare services are needed. The biggest boom, though, is oil and gas, which has had the most positive impact on wages in Houston. Popular jobs in Houston include petroleum engineer, petroleum geologist, geophysicist and drilling engineer.

temmytanny: I live in Grand prairie Texas and most jobs i see around me are more of sales,fast food and factory jobs.The hourly rates vary from $7.25 - $15 per hour depending on level of experience

Temmy, u can do better than dat.

omega25red: your friend either just started in the feild or they are underplaying what they earn. A registered nurse who holds a masters in nursing will surly be making over 60k a year because registered nurses with a masters usually are administrators in the hospital they work in. Anyway who knows.

I agree. As an engineer, I earn 55k per annum. I am also a part time job consultant and I help ppl in Dallas area secure jobs in banks, etc. I would not encourage anyone to settle for less when u can earn more. Temmy, I urged u to contact me when u got in but i don't know Wat happened. Naija in tx is a small community and I Blv networking matters a lot. Lemme know if ur wife can make hair... Customers are around d corner.

adesojiaderemi@:

Happy New year Ojdollar$$

I want to appreciate u madam for the great work u people are doing in this forum, believe me,its greatly giving much hope to us that will be landing in the state in few months time. I've spoken with Mr.OJ and I foundout that people can be of great help through what u people are doing here. I will also like to know you more cos I know that with people like you over there, success to the new immigrants is assured. One more question, can one learn dis hair dressing easily there?
