Try attending churches nau. After that support groups and the likes and before you know it, you have company. Don't do life alone

I'm no longer very religious.

Hello nairalanders I know to a lot of Nigerians who have never left the country this may sound funny. But I'm indeed frustrated with my life in America. I moved to America as a student in 2016 for masters in an engineering degree and after about 7 years I obtained a U.S Greencard. I work a middle income job with the government and I'm here with my Nigerian wife. I have faced a series of health challenges since I got here and some have been resolved and some additionally ones have cropped in with the latest being depression and extreme fatigue. Currently I'm on antidepressants but I'm still depressed and frustrated. My job is not that taxing but I wish I could do more save for the extreme fatigue that the doctors have not been able to resolve. I wish I could hustle harder but my health is not allowing me to. I feel also very sad and lonely living in the U.S as it's only me and my wife and I dont really have any friends. Everyone here always mind their business and its tough building any meaningful relationships. I have toyed with the idea of moving back to Nigeria in my head since America has not been all I hoped it will be for me but my wife does not want to and she quickly reminds me of the employment suitation in Nigeria and how it is me that made her come here in the first place. She kind of prefers it here. We have no kids yet so that is one additional information. I'm just venting and frustrated and I hope maybe some Nairalanders can come to my aid. Additional information. I dont come from a rich family that has money sitting in the bank and its me and my own. We just bought a house on a 30 year mortgage so we pretty stuck with paying the debt for 30 years but I don't know how I'd live here for 30 years. Just looking for someone with experience to share ideas with since I have no one. I feel stuck. Please no insults

Nigeria a country doesnt have constant power. Which one come be AI university again. We need industralization and manufacturing before AI. This is pointless.

baba sope politics in full swing in Lagos. Tpain era is here to stay. Seyi Tpain is the next Lagos state governor already.

In China people like that are committed to death by hanging but in Naija even to name the person na wahala.

Retrofiting cars with CNG cannisters is not safe. These are cars that were originally not designed for CNG. Do it at your own risk ooooo......

Body go tell U one day....keep supporting evil APC....
PDP was far better off than this night charger party U call APC

Both PDP and APC are the same thing. Bro stop deceiving yourself.

danvon:
Imagine a man will spend millions, abandon his family, his country, his culture, his dignity just to go abroad and be wiping asses of old white racist men and women - they deserve to be insulted.

You can't blame someone that is doing any work trying to survive. It is you same Nigerians living in Nigeria that will call diasporans 'wicked uncle' or stingy when they refuse to send you out of the money they are making from wiping bottom. 1 dollar is now 1700. Go figure. Nigerians with entitlement mentality yapa.

Nigerians are still struggling to grapple with the fact that Nigeria is a VERY POOR country. Only Oil cannot sustain the entire country. Nigerians are also quite lazy. Many cannot survive the hustle and bustle of western economies.

I cant believe that in 2024 people are still believing this Bill Gates GMO Mosanto population control hoax

Prettychild:
This is not an issue per se. if the children are buoyant enough, they should be coming back either once or twice a year to see their parents. Meanwhile, they should be video calling them every week aside normal day to day calls

How many people are buouyant enough to visit once a year. The cost of international flights are very expensive. Imagine travelling for 25 hours one way just to see your parents for a few days. No to mention the huge logistics it takes to travel to Nigeria. It's not just something you can plan that easily. I'm speaking from experience as an abroadarian. Japa indeed breaks up the families. As the parents are feeling lonely so are their kids also feeling lonely and away from their culture. Most people japa for greener pastures. Money is important but everything is not all about money. When you Japa you will find out yourself. Make all of una come abeg. And experience it all for yourself then you will understand where the OP is coming from.

Everything about APC is always in future tense. Political party of failures **spits**

Omo I feel sad... I don make mouth give my British colleagues

Meanwhile, more than half of the American female basketballers that played against us are Nigerians domiciled in USA

This is a lie. more than half are not Nigerians. Not even 10%. Nigerians have a "chosen one" complex

AcuraZDX:
Onye isi nkuka.

What of Tinubu that defected from SDP to AD to AC to ACN before merging ACP as APC?

Tinubu has always stayed his a.s.s in the party and moved forward with the party through each TRANSFORMATION. I no be fan but let's be honest here.

Much easier.Anybody here deceiving himself that Tinubu won't win 2nd term regardless of performance doesn't know the type of Politician Tinubu is. Tinubu will either win by hook or crook. All those stand and defend your vote won't work let's be honest. You cannot be more violent than political touts they will employ. Let's wait and see sha.

Forrest whitaker is a red cap titled chief of nkwerreland

Yeah right. And I'm the King of England.

The OP is high on expired ugu leaves. More than half of those people on the list except for TEMS have nothing to do with Nigeria.

tilumbu and Buhari are from the same party. In fact Tinubu marketed Buhari to us as the messiah so how can he try to separate himself from Buhari failure especially when he himself is also currently failing woefully.

Maxxim:
What's the obsession with Usdt, your problem should be with Ngn, is there a way to make it a stable coin

Hahaha.... What is the Naira backed by? A useless govt. Is naira itself stable. How will you create a stable coin for something as volatile as Nigerian Naira. Mschewww

Kenneth4u205:
Foolish op . So why did TINUBU ban binance if USDT has nothing to do with dollars?. And for your information there is crypto ATM card which you can use for shopping or even withdraw money from any ATM machine. Here in south Africa ,we shop with crypto ATM Card and wallet balance.

USDT is the same with physical dollars . But it's a digital currency. Same way that the Bank transfer you send to your girlfriend is also a digital Naira

This is not true. USDT is not same with physical dollars but converts at a rate close to physical dollars. I'd take my chances with USDT being stable than Naira being stable. Or is it yeye enaira you want people to keep their hard earned money as??

I regret supporting this BAT govt. They are so uselesss. While other countries are building and expanding airports to handle more cargo, passengers and trade, this yeye govt is celebrating building common hotel in the airport. From a traffic stand point it's even a bad idea because it will induce more traffic into an airport area which should just be for transportation.

Nonesense and ingredients.

Maybe in 4 years we should give P.O a chance if this Tinubu cannot put in programs to improve Nigeria's infrastructure and stabilize the economy. The problem now is that it will be extremely difficult to get that demagogue out and he will likely do his 8 years complete.

Who swear for Nigeria? Abeg naa....

matify83:
This is totally a wrong move.

Usage of Brute force will not force the arbitrageurs to renounce the only business line they have ever known.
Let the CBN sell FX through DMBs to all at competitive rates and the BDCs would crumble naturally. All these dramas will create unnecessary heating up of the FX market with the attendant scarcity of FX and continued naira devaluation.

I'm not a prophet of gloom and doom but I can deduce from the actions of the government that they may soon criminalize the possession of the dollar.

If all interventions fails to halt the slide of the naira, they may confiscate the dollars in dorm. Accounts.

There is no low to which this government can not sink.


Watching!

Na that confistication we dey wait for since then last year ooo. This is why you should not be operating any dorm accounts right now. At worse change your money to usdt crypto or any other stable coins to avoid stories that touch. He who has ears, let them hear oooooo. No low Nigerian FG cant go.

for them allowing this news to get out. they must have agenda
