Bros, as much as I try to respect you and stay off your threads, I think I expect same. Do you want me to post my Cell Phone number here? Or are you leaving UK for Texas to help them Settle in here? Why don't you ever reason before you comment on a thread self. Or have I been involve in any dodgy business on NL here before. You weren't the reason I put this thread up, there are many Nigerians in America who are in the wrong places and can't find a job, that's the reason I squeezed out a few minute from my busy schedule to put up this info. Why scrap out my email?

OjDollars,
Nice one there, i actually had this information last year December(when i landed yanky for good)..Infact,my friend who came to pick me at the airport ,in Baltimore Maryland had just relocated to Baltimore 24hrs earlier. He had spent 3good yrs in Newyork and things were pretty tight even though he had 2 jobs. He relocated to Maryland baltimore because he was to start the said Job the following week..

Within 5months on this Job, my friend had bought 2 cars(Toyota Camry 2003, which he used for 3months and shipped to n9ja), and Toyota camry 2007 model which he currently uses.In all this, he still sends money constantly to his siblings and parents back home...wow, i love this Job, 4days on ,3days break.. $17 per hour(normal working time) and $25 per hour over time..Another Good thing about this job is that you can be as old as 50yrs and yet you will be employed..I saw so many Nigerian(papa with them uniforms on)..The enrolment exams forthis jb is easier than primary 6 G2, funny thing is they employ Africans the most.

"But if you ask me, its quite a dangerous job i must say",

guys can I apply from nigeria?or how else can I apply to make it to US?
