hmmm, you have a right to do your business, i see you are a human trafficker, do you think those countries consider your job as legal.what is your motive. i think you try to help people who are desperate by collecting money from them to show them how they can get abroad legally or illegally.You may be reposible for the death of generation through what you are doing, God would hold you responsible.Imagine you helping somebody take a very dangerous risk abroad and the person gets there only to be killed or died miserably.You not only killed the person but a generation, you may insult me or curse me, i would tell you the truth.

Egusi is a local dish in Nigeria.
Egusi is also local/African dish in NY.
Yah logic still don't apply

It's of Public knowledge ad perception that Nigerian girls are called Local chicks by Nigerians in Diaspora.

An amazing fact, a girl who stays in the Rural part of Nigeria is even considered to be a local chick by a Girl who stays in the Urban part of Nigeria.

Like a girl residing in Mbano Village in Owerri, Imo State is seen mostly as a local girl by people who are resident in Ikoyi, Lagos .
Anyways, we agree to disagree

Mcowubaba:

Nah people like you dey end inside Deportation Camp or Jail.
Who is avoiding burden, maybe your relatives.
We are just being sincere with you.

Do you think your problems are over once you arrive in a Western Country.
What are your plans, immigration legal plans.

"Yahoo boys in Nigeria are making it, last time I came back, the were the ones that were buying drinks for me, the cars the drove were bigger than the one I used" ... Rt not endorsement.

Immigration is really tight in the UK now and there isn't much your aunt can do to help you relocate to the UK legally.

She will be doing you a great disservice by helping you get a visiting visa only for you to overstay and become an illegal resident.

Things so bad now that you cannot rent an apartmentment (landlords are legally required to check immigration status of prospective tenants), you cannot open a bank account and you cannot have a drivers license if you are illegal.

The only feasible routes are Tier 2 sponsorship (where a company sponsors you and you can only work solely for that company) or Tier 1 entrepreneur (you need £200,000 to be eligible) or Tier 1 investor (you need about £1,000,000 to be eligible) or marriage (spousal visa) if you want to come here legally and acquire a permanent status (indefinate leave to remain) five years later.

These routes have very,very stringent requirements and the requirements keep getting tougher.

Why not try the Canadian option and speak to her about assisting you with school fees or travel costs?

Benekruku:
My Naija peeps can use a lot of bad examples to make a point!


Bebe2 is 100% correct!


They will never tell you about the few ones who came in and achieved. It's always the nasty and dehumanising stories they use as case study.

Even withing the country, they hardly Lead u on

i live in hamburg. Where in germany do u live?

Acidosis:


You're right, majority forge at least one or two papers to get a visa., and then return to church to give testimony to God



We have redefined corruption as "smartness". You're only being smart by forging bank statement or employer letter.. That's not corruption according to a Nigerian dictionary.

Its really a sad thing what our politicians have turned the country to. I can't imagine the so called "expatriates" forging some papers and testifying in church just to fly to Naija. Lol

@OP, I believe some are wired to survive and excel in foreign lands.. I also believe some persons are meant to stay back. Everyone should find a way to identify their purpose, howbeit legally, without necessarily being a burden to people.

odimbannamdi:


Honestly, this is very scary. Please, could u expound more on the emboldened?

tosyne2much:
Can you just imagine? SMH

Each time I talk to my friend in New York about my interest in traveling out of the country very soon, he will start telling me how hard it is to survive abroad and how tax is killing. He tells me how Nigerians roam about the streets helplessly just to discourage me

ollah2:
You said nothing but the truth. Btw, what country did you file for if I may ask queen?

Mikeparlo12:
Dont blame us buddy....think about it most people just wanna go there without any specific reason thereby becoming a burden. In America for instance...You gotta work to pay bills..If you dont wanna work...dont come

alsudaes1:


Yeah, ,,

Even in Nigeria, same is done, you see people discouraging others to move to Lagos or Abuja, claiming life is difficult that they also want out

dederocs:

You got a poor mind, not everyone is settling for minimum wage, and if you are not rich, then you are wasting time over there...village immigrant...no be your mate be Seal, Sade and other Nigerians and African doing it big-time who know you or refer to you... Lol.

Why u no do the yahoo, listen if you are not 100mil naira rich after spending 5yrs abroad, them come home.

Eh pain am.

Ogbeni no be cause your frustrations oo.
Carry your wahala go Chérubim and Seraphim make dey help you

Don't expect another reply this Year

judgedredd22:



stop sounding naive and saying what you don't know... a lot of companies in europe and US give personal drivers to high ranking officers... mostly private firms that operate globally!

justwise:


How many years will you keep working illegally before you find your feet and at what age?

Do you know why people don't come home after many years abroad?

bebe2:
This is getting annoying , how come each time a person is asking for directions on how to travel abroad most pple in diaspora will be discouraging the person.

If it's dat terrible why are u still there?

You enjoy the benefits of living in an organised society, knowing fully well that naija is a difficult place to live.

Are u scared of the competition the new immigrants will bring?

Nigerians in diaspora , what exactly are u afraid off??

queendoreez:


Please ignore your friend, just like i did to mine. Do not get discouraged. All you need to do is have a plan and stick to it. 90% of Nigerians are very selfish and want others to always look up to them while they "form bosses".

deskossy:
aha mainz people. Is the nigerian community vibrant over there? Compare to münchen,berlin or hamburg?

deskossy:
wie gut is dein deutch?

Mcowubaba:
My take on this issue.
Most Nigerians think Coming abroad is the end to their problems and frustrations, so we just simply point out the facts, that's not discouragement.
And yes, there are lots of bills to pay, in Nigeria you can do without paying most of the bills, credit card not in the West.

Secondly, most Nigerians aspiring to come don't have a clear immigration plan, no legitimate plan set, the just want to cross and and FIND THEIR WAY (we all know what that means, mostly Illegal activities) , I also advise against this mentality.

What makes some of us look a bit rich when we come to Nigeria, is the FOREX EXCHANGE, with $6000 saved up, when we change the money to Naira, money go full everywhere.
This same $6000 can't even pay for a good decent apartment in NY for a year.. But it can pay for 3-5 years rent in Lekki, Ikoyi, Asukoro in Nigeria.

Now a case study.
The messed up Naira, really Makes Nigerians in diaspora look so successful. Especially if the Nigerian is very conscious in his/her saving and remittance of money to Nigeria.
You could be earning 18 dollars per hour/30-40 hours a week. 18*30= 540.
540 dollars is over 150k in Naira.
How many Nigerians earn the 150k per month, not to talk about per week.

haryomikun:


err sir. I thought if one is caught living illegally you will be deported.

so if one goes to the us and wants to come back home all one needs to do is just present oneself to the police and that's all!

Pidgin2:


Nice thread but Nigeria is not a difficult place to live in. Those who want to migrate can do so legitimately and anyone seeking to stay shouldn't be made to feel like he or she is living in hell because it isn't true. Good thread

oyetpel:


Guy US government officials also forge document, even General Flynn is under investigation on this matter. No be only naija corrupt, na our looting political class spoiled our name, and made us also spoil our names by ourselves

lovelygurl:


Lol yh. It is but but as that of München, Berlin or Hamburg. Those are bigger cities. Besides you are more likely to see a Ghanaian than a Nigerian but I think that's everywhere in Germany

Jman06:
But do something worse!

I hate it when some people pretend like naija is such a rosy place when the reality on ground says otherwise.

cosade:



Ich bin neugierig, ihre Antwort zu kennen.

deskossy:
