Through the express entry program, from what I told and they did not check status. So the person can leave, just won't be able to come to the US for a certain period of time or may never be able to come back.

What are the challenges Nigerian immigrants face in starting a tech company in silicon valley and accessing funding from venture capitalist. How come there are less Nigerians in tech startup compared to Indians and Chinese immigrants.

Well, what you are taught regarding financial literacy especially as a teens has nothing to do with your realities when out of school.If that's the case,how come a lot of Americans are(die) in debts?.

If you read one of my previous post i talked about how the Indians are more structured in combining ideas in establishing tech companies, it must not be in silicon valley they are all over the 50 states.. Most Nigerians i have seen here from my experience hoard information cos they dont want you to be better than them, but the Indians have formed a formidable force in the IT sector, well organized people. They share information between themselves and with their combine effort and money they start up something brilliant with the initiator the CEO. You will not find one Indian person working in a warehouse or doing menial job except in a gas station which is owned by his brother or relation.

Mind you Indians are the richest immigrant in America, because of just one thing which is INFORMATION between themselves, so much so that they rarely borrow money in starting a tech company.

On the other hand Nigerians haven't gotten to that point yet because of our mentality, hoarding of information, you must not be better than me in america mentality. More so we are not organised like the Indians, and we have not created a niche for ourselves, we have a long way to go.. Right now some individuals who i have met are trying to create a niche in IT sector for Nigerians to compete with the Indians, its achievable but its gonna take a long time because of our attitude and mentality. I spoke on here about how my friend in IT security is trying to raise Nigerians to get into the field and i brought it up here but our Mentality will not let us see ahead.. I even mentioned how much he makes a year, i was labelled a liar. I am not giving up but will gladly train those who are willing to join the train to become a force to reckon with in the IT sector.

To be honest alot of us weren't even taught it. This is on both sides, black and white. So if alot of the country is financially illiterate to begin with (we can debate on why) but then add to it a materialistic give me now society, gives you your answer. Plus the economy survives strongly on consumer spending. I took an Econ class last year and it is surprising and concerning on how deep it is.

No its not. Ca is a high cost living state, so 65,000 is not big pay.

LMAO!!!...you made me laugh so hard..so $65k is a small pay to you now but you are everywhere attacking someone with $100k plus who is a professional as being fraudulent.your hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Besides,you have to stop this your "american" entitlement claims as if you are the only American on this forum who lives in America and understand the system, those born here don't even claim this unnecessary entitlement.
Fyi,majority of people in here are Americans and understand the system more much better than you do.

Aside the Nigerian born, Chinedu Echeruo who sold his software hopstop to apple for $1B dollars, I have never heard of any Nigerian pushing boundaries in IT startup in US. What I see everyday are stories of Nigerians who broke record bagging multiple degrees with disctinctions not Nigerians solving real life problem. I am not saying bagging multiple degrees at once is not a good milestone but knowledge without applying it to solve problem is not really cool. I can say Nigerians abroad are intelligent but not smart (this is just my opinion) whereas the smart ones are doing cyber fraud in Nigeria. I have a dream and plan of being a tech startup founder in silicon valley someday.

First, if your educated, your school system has failed you because basic reading and comprehension you lack. Me and backfornow were talking about correctional officers and you were talking about a probation officer. Both jobs have different requirement, job descriptions and pay. I never stated people of various degrees should be paid the same. I do not prefer 10 or 12 job and I do not earn such pay. Nobody is saying that anyone should come to this country to earn minimum wage or little more than that. No you stop posting false salaries and learn how the American system works and know the difference before gross income and take home. Better be careful, not everything that glitters is gold.

Backfornow:


Do you have a kindle or laptop? The reaspn why I ask is that magazines such as Inc, Entrepreneur s, Wall Street Journal have articles about start ups and raising capital all the time. There is a website or app called Zippio or Ziddio something like that will allow you to download magazines. I just started accessing these magazines from my library, a wealth of information. It might be a little harder for you to do in Nigeria but I dont think impossible. Tbh capital raising is extremely hard no matter the race but from what I have experienced, communities such as Indians and Chinese are extremely tight knit and resource from within their own communities.

Please can you use the correct word (You are)? I noticed you have used it at least 3 times in 3 posts already, it makes reading a bit difficult.
Thanks.

Babyvet:


I see a common theme here, you too lack basic reading and comphresion. I have clearly stated multiple times, in multiple post that salary varies accross the country and is according to cost of living. You people like to pick and choose what you like to here . Some of you in this forum , need to take reading classes . I just mentioned how people in CAvmake higher salaries so don’t try and get smart with me . And if you know best then keep that shit to your damn self. Anyone else who wants to come to me with bs , can have several seats.

gbope:
Kroger I sent you a PM...I don't know if u saw it . I wanted clarification about your earlier post about quality control engineers as it pertain to my field. U mentioned something about the resume which caught my attention. Could you please PM me as I don't know whether you received mine. Thanks in anticipation.

Look at this one,when you were shouting this is america,it didn't occur to you that California,New York and co are part of the country shey??.
Have read some of your posts and it's good for you if you limit your dumb comments to the Healthcare sector where you claim to be a professional and leave other sectors cos it's obvious you don't know jack about what's going on there.

I can completely relate with this,
You see opportunities abound in this country to those who knows what to do and where to find info and not some bunch claiming entitlement but looking for $20/hr a job all about.
When you spend 18hrs daily doing that routine job of yours,you are probably going to be deaf or blind to other important info that could change your life for better.you learn to earn,majority of Nigerians fall into this category.
Nigerians are intelligent but not smart and the smart ones rules the world.

PS...
I addition,I can bet you,those mags are so rich in info and you don't even need to download them.they are very easy and cheap to subscribe to.i get all business journals,wall str,automotive,travels,real Estate,money magazines and many others twice a month for just $20 quarterly. they are worth a million dollars in info.

The drill is simple...Nigerians are not productive people,our cultures thought us to be consumers reason one would wonder why the country is where it is despite the many human resources scatter all over the world.very disheartening.when I went into business,I nearly changed my mind with the way my former colleagues(Nigerians) were given me million stuffs I stand to lose,now I can not thank my God enough.I now know better.
To be honest,we are lazy and always afraid of failure.we are contented with working as an employee instead of an employer.few that manage to own a business don't have plans for expansion,they are only concerned about today,so don't expect any venture capitalists or a good investor to invest in such business.

This is not a fair.
Americans are taught to choose professions that they are passionate about irregardless of the pay. That is why you will see plenty of Americans who have these $ 20+ jobs and are content. Myself, I make good money as an xray tech but it is not my passion, that is why I am transitioning to business. I want to do not for profit work and I know that it will not pay alot, but that is my passion.
Also, none of us know it all, but I think that some of us have alot of life and career experiences that allow us to be knowledgeable on several subjects. So I think its ok to advise based on your own experiences.
Going forward, I think it will be best for everyone to assume that everyone else has had a different experience from the next person which doesn't make it not true. And one path doesnt fit all. So if one person made it one way, it doesnt mean that everyone else will make it or should even follow that same path. And finally fact check everything. There is just too much information and easily accessible to just blindly accept what someone is saying. Fact check me too, Im humble enough to admit when im wrong. The problem is Im never wrong.

Exactly my thoughts,what's the essence of your financial literacy teachings if it doesn't reflects on your financial situations in the real world because it works at cross purpose with the established system.
There are things that happen in one's life that defies logic or teachings.
I never believed in the American financial system(though it works for some) but in my own opinion,the African culture of financial system best all others and it works for them far more than it does an average American.
