Awon baba nla baba iya e lo mani bad luck.

I place this curse on you this Sunday morning before brushing my teeth. May every single thing you touch in your life destabilize in your face, IJN ati ola anobi.

And I said you don't know me!
Anyway have never been to America in my life! But have been to some europe country and I had to spent over time in the country due to some things I need to achieve...after my success I found my way back in my dear country...so I have a bit clue on what I'm advising the guy

majekdom2:
living not leaving.... that's to tell u on here is not a place to check errors... be more creative!

soleexx:


For her sis to invite him!.surely she got a plan for him after the six month.

They don't sack people in US?

publicenemy:


yes they do....but you can pick up any job and still earn more than the average nigerian and earn more than 75k.

majekdom2:
I like the word pick up.... yankee na picking things.I can bet my ass you don't know what's going on outside Nigeria neither have you been outta here.

Dandeson1:
. what's this one saying... mumu

majekdom2:
baba na wa oo... atimes u complicated but that was funny.

no1madman:
Don't be too ambitious. . .Jesus is coming very soon..

majekdom2:
gimme a link to your profile on linkedin, lemme see how big you are making it.

Op should ask some serious questions and provide Nairaland with follow up info.

Money wise, N75know isnothing. To put things in perspective, even if op was doing some crappy minimum wage job fulltime, he'll make around $1280 and have a better standard of living.

Drabeey:
She said she would help me travel to the States but she would keep me indoors in her house for 6 months pending when my papers allowing me to move around the US would be ready.

I'm already receiving 75,000 naira per month here in Nigeria and still single.

Please is there any advise from the house?

RaptorX:
Too many Nigerians have a wrong impression of what really life looks like in the US, I guess the brainwashing comes from Hollywood. I will never leave a 500k job in Naija to migrate to any country in the west, not me.

Celepope:
[b]Look at clueless comments all over the thread.Even some that claim they live in the US are not left out.@OP how is your sister going to bring you to the US?Abi u be paper bag?If she can package visiting VISA for you in which i know is not easy nowadays then its ok.Cause that is the major huddle.But first talk to your sister and ask her how she wants to bring you to the US(What kind of VISA).After that tell her to enlighten you on how you will get your Green card or being legal before you run out of your stay.Its either marriage or converting your BI/B2 visa to F1(Student) visa which is not that easy cause fees in community colleges are around 5-6 thousand dollars in which i believe your sister won't want to pay for you.But for real though ask your sister to brief you properly and if you have any further doubt u can PM me.But as for her saying you will be indoor for 6 months i have not seen such since my stay in the US perhaps you misconstrued what she told you.In all pray to God to guide your part.I took same step few years ago and i have never regretted it.Though the beginning maybe tough but gradually you will pick up and be proud you made that move.Talking from experience and not hearsay.[/b]

lockupman:

75k? Mtcheew! Even with my 119k job I still moved. No one says its gonna be easy or you'll start picking money when you get there as many Nigerians fantasize when they hear you're abroad. But look into your self. Are you hard-working? Are you adventurous? Are you resilient? Do you prefer more to less? Are you patient? If you say YES to all of these questions; then make the move man.

Hakagure:


How will OP make 400 a week without work permit? They will never pay you minimum wage, even mickey d needs high school diploma and do e verify. Ever heard of ICS raids? If OP impersonates another person the first day OP gets pulled over na 3 Days jail while they check if OP is isis. No judge no court no nothing, please don't lie to this people, let them have a plan when they come, not via modern day human trafficking cos the sister cant pay for child care or worse.

Ipledge:
which city is she taking you to,it depends on d city,If its new york city,she dont needs to hide you,so faryou are not a trouble maker,i will advice you to go

As a student that work outside,i makes more #75,000 a week when dollar convert to naira

Originalsly:
Tell him how much you take home after taxes and other deductions...then convert and tell him how much you pay for rent and the size place you live.I'm sure if you convert and make N100 000 per week ...he with his N75 O000 per month would be enjoying a higher standard of living than you.

Ipledge:
I stay with my uncle,so i dont Pay rent or any bill,same to him,he wanna stay with his sis.After Tax i still get more than that.Si you telling me that someone with gross income of #75,000/month in Nigeria will live better than someone that get net income of $500/week in USA.[/b]Please tell me what i dont know

He can afford a two bedroom flat?...can you?...@ $1400 per month for a basic two bedroom flat ? ...let's not even get into bills. There is a good reason why you are still living with your uncle. When you move you will face reality.

Celepope:

Don't mind that guy.Nairaland is the home of the most clueless blokes i have ever seen on the net.

Ipledge:
Which city do you stay?everybody knows New York is one of thé most expensive city,my uncle Pay less than $1000 a month,do you know what NYCHA is?those are thé house own by thé city,it allow low income earner and you can get flat less than $600/month.there is this town i stays when i first got To USA aberdeen,Sd. The best house there are $600/month for 2 bed rooms flat and $400 for a room.as a good analyst like you telling me why à bachelor should get 2 bed room flat

Originalsly:
Aberdeen is not NYC...leave that out. NYCHA is subsidized housing that you need to meet so many requirements then join a longggg waiting list if you qualify.Leave that out. We're talking going and rent a flat on the open market. One bedroom you would be paying $1200. I don't live in the US.

BOUNTYDOG:


After going through the thread,I see the better option is to migrate from that comfort zone.
@ OP you should have asked your sister what she means by you hiding indoors for 6mths as I see that is the only misleading line,otherwise I think everyone would have advised you take the bold step and move.
But b4 u move make sure u cum here and explain wat she means by you hiding indoor.
2ndly come and share your experience 8mths after getting there and let's see how better you are doing.
Certainly better

VickJames:
Brother, you should leave this country. What will 75k job do for you in the next 6months. Do you know the exchange rate of the naira to a dollar? Do you know the economic and political stability of the US? Nigeria is facing a rebirth and which is painful and will cause a lot of struggling, so you won't be missing much. You have to take the risk, with time you will earn more in the US and learn more skills to destroy Nigeria's labour market.

Guy! Fly out of this country
