Exactly, if someone really said "Im a janitor/cab driver/ko gbe, ko gbe" abroad, trust me, they will not be asking for much.

Some people with legitimate jobs in Nigeria make much more than some Nigerians abroad.

We all just need to be honest.

r231:

bruv they will not be asking for much but they will still ask not thinking whether you have paid your own bills or not and when you tell them that its not easy they will tell you to come bck home then

posakosa:

hahahaha! <come back home to do wetin ? >

Exporting vehicles from the United States is a complicated process that involves validating the title with US Customs and Border Patrol and the Office of Homeland Security. The process and necessary documentation required by US Customs and Border Protection for title validation is not standardized throughout the United States. Instead, it is set by the Port Director of the port from which the vehicle will be loaded and shipped.

Despite the varying standards from port to port, at minimum, you will need to prove ownership of the vehicle. Only the original certificate of title, or a certified copy of the original, is considered valid proof of ownership. Other registration documents, by themselves, are not considered proof of ownership. If the car has a lien, encumbrance, or is leased, the exporter will have to attach to the certificate of title a notarized letter from the lien holder or lease holder authorizing it to leave the country.

omega25red:

its not their fault you should blame all the people who spend the year working and[i] saving money just to go home for two weeks to lie about the life they live abroad[/i]. you should also blame the people who do odu you know the credit scammers they have no value for the money they steal so they go home and pretend like money grows on trees abroad

@ Poster

Cause they`ve not been there to experience it.

Because, you make them think so. By giving and giving and giving at all their needs, you invite stress for yourself here.  Follow this Biblical principle, don't rush out at any of their requests - wait until the dust settles and then decide whether to act.  You see, when Our Lord Jesus Christ was told that his uncle Lazarus died, he did not rush out immediately to check for himself instead he waited for 4 days before going there by then, the corpse has already been buried and obviously, in bad state.  On getting there, he asked that the tomb be opened and commanded Lazarus to come out and, he did.  I didn't say that you are Christ and that you should start performing miracles now, rather be logical with certain thing home people throw at you here else, they will bankrupt you and laugh at you when you return home with only your sleeping mat/bag and a flip-flop on your feet.   Do not say I did not warn you!

Pittbaby n posakosa i dont know how he did it but u need 2 go 2 the port in NY n see d deals dat nigerians that own shipping coys do.

Janeesa:

Yea thats sooo true, at the same time though Nigerians abroad like to show off now that they are abroad! they want to pretend like they are living the life when they are here shttin money out the ass just to pay for their car note ( cuz we r flashy like that and we like mercedes,lexus,hummer etc nothin wrong with that as long as u hv money for it !) then some Nigerians actually COMPETE with other Nigerians ( especially in Washington, D.C.) to see who has the most expensive house or car, its soo immature, Some Nigerians are really just suffering and over whelmed with bills, so much for "living the life in America!!! LMFAO!

I know one stupid guy like that who will be callin his ppl back home sayin life in America is sooo sweet ( yea right) and hes havin fun yet this guy works as a CNA, lives in a roach infested apartment ,has a broke down mercedes and buys his prada and gushi ( thats his pronounciation lmao) instead of payin his light bill, now THAT is the ULTIMATE AMERICAN dream!!!!!


thats just wat ive always wanted : live in a roach infested apartment, drive a piece of shit and clean ass

omoNJ:

I totally understand that some dejo pretend instead of telling the truth abt how things really are abroad. But I don't think its fair to only blame those idiots. Ppl back home have long throat period! Just because lagbaja and tamedo comes home with flashy car and shower money like no man's business that doesn't mean that life is like that. Don't judge me because Mr A says life is good in America. If I tell u that I can't send u anything, just take it as that. Just because your neighbor's sister's son's wife's daughter-in-law say life is good in America (well life might be good for her, however u want to interpret that) that doesn't mean that I have $1000 or so to send u. People have wives and children to cater for, if u don't pay your bill, u will be homeless. Its not like in Naija were ppl hide when they see landlords coming. You will come home with your stuff outside on the curb while your neighbors start packing your valuables. So your immediate family (husband, wife and kids) comes first, then worry about ppl back home. Believe it or not if u don't send that $$$$ they r asking about, they will survive. I bet they have it in their bank account but will like to help u spend urs. NONSENSE
