I've read all the comments here. Bottom line; Don't travel out If you're not a professional (Health etc) or If you do not possess a skill set. (Digital marketing, financial trading, project management using Scrum etc). If you do, get ready to work your ass off! 1 Like |

oaktown101: Boss, I think I can survive there and any hardworking Nigerians can survive there. Nigeria is just a harsh country with harsh leaders with no human feelings. Imagine no light in my area for about 1 week now and fuel is not available to power generator. Anybody who knows what's doing should mind their expenses and should not do copy copy.... 1 Like |

From what the lady on video has said,i think she doesn't really mean America is a difficult nation. All what she's saying is that life is not as rosy as we think or as our relatives and friends paint it for us to be in America. Most Africans would only say the good and better/brighter side of America than the ulgly,nasty and dirty side of it. I have family friends in America whom almost everyone in the family has migrated to usa except just two remaining. I made calls to them at anytime and we chat.One of them.which happens to be my childhood friend got married here and moved down to usa and now with a kid overthere. He now has about 3 cars he use with his wife. they are both working and husband earns about $800/week and wife works in about three places.They have now rented their own houses and have beautiful apartment.Lately.he complained to me that winter in Alabamais very harsh as a matter of fact,everything in america is in excess.when it comes to summer,the sun is too hot.when it comes to rain,the rain will be to heavy and causes hurricane.but to crown it all,he said what will take u 10 years to achieve in nigeria,it will only take u about 6 months to achieve in america.But the problem overthere to many people is to have work permit and greencard.without these,u cant work legally or live legally in america.you will be scared of immigration officer because u didnt have papers to work. Furthermore,u cant travel to ur country for a long period of time becaus eif u do,u wont be given a visa anylonger because u have overstayed so this becomes a very big challenge many migrant have been facing. Taxes overthere are high.There are jobs in states where u less have immigration officers monitoring workers but for states that are exterior and crowdy,u're unsafe to be engage as a worker.u can be working and all of a sudden u hear an alert that immigration coming into the building to check papers then u run out of the building and abadon ur job and loose it for ever.Nigeria can still be a better place even if our leaders are fucking up big time. the only thing my friend preaches to me everyday is come to america. I believe in this country,u're not totally free in america.ur still a second class citizen. If we the youths and eshew the mindset of get rich syndrome all shall be well. I spend most of my time on the web,i had conversations with youths in other countries of the world like china,nepal,indonesia,philipine,india,lebanese,bangladesh etc and i could see the patriotism ans passion in them over their countries.Chinese workers could destroy a plenty of phones in their domain at their huawei office in lagos due to expiration by smashing it off with hammer. A typical nigerian begged to be given to use but they insist that they cant tarnish their image for anything..that is brand loyalty.Let us all play our part with team spirit to build this nation well. God bless nigeria,God bless us all. 1 Like |

SirBaro:The Federal poverty level per person is $15,060.00 a year or $1,250.0 a month in USA google it. If you don't want to live in the ghetto, that can only pay for one room in an okay neigborhood a family of 4 is $30,750. The average 1 bedroom apartment in LA, Atlanta, New York is $1,400.00 in an okay neighborhood That is based on before tax btw. So a single person making NGN 500,00 a month is below poverty Dear, if you live with your Mama and don't contribute to any bills I guess your okay. 1 Like |

shagaman:What about car and health insurance, food and if you pay $10.00 for internet forget Youtube or even Nairaland sef. $140 gas a month? Must be a 4 cylinder and you live down the street from your job. So no outings like b-day party, baby shower, movie? How about clothes, hygiene products? What about water and even if you have free water you must go to local laundry mat. The rent you quoted is the ghetto in LA, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston etc; You must live in Idaho or South Dakota with that rent amount. |

lifestyle1: I like the way you calculated her wages and converted it to Naira to make your point. You haven't factored in tax (national and state taxes), accommodation (she doesn't live underneath a bridge), food, transport to and from work, healthcare (healthcare isn't free in America) etc. I could go on and on, the fact is that she can barely eke out a miserable existence on her present income. She is unskilled, and works in an unskilled role. She shouldn't be used as a yardstick to measure hardworking middle-cadre professionals working overseas, there is no reason for comparison as all your per hour calculations doesn't apply to highly skilled middle income earners. Plus, this idea of converting dollar/pound denominated wages to Naira in order to make a point makes absolutely no sense. People who live overseas earn, get taxed and spend overseas. 1 Like |

MIKOLOWISKA:Exactly they don't want to tell the truth. Most posting that they know somebody doing good is living on credit, in fact when they come to Nigeria it is on credit. Most guys take out loan to bury or marry someone in 9ja. These guys will go pick one chick in his village with bank loan and bring her to USA throw her in nursing school and after 5 years she will look 20 years older than her age. Only medical doctors I know doing good are defrauding medicare (federal government senior insurance)or they have bought other businesses like fast food joint, partner with other doctors to start a practice etc; You have to have at least 3 streams of income to be wealthy. If you can do sales and earn unlimited income based on performance pay aka as commision you have a chance. But like anywhere living paycheck to paycheck will help you survive. People into tech jobs have the best opportunities as well because easy to get a job plus side hustle. The only other way is illegal business. You can live with 24 hour electricity, good roads and free school for pekin them up to secondary, but the hustle no be small thing. The same hustle is possible in 9ja. 1 Like |

Bitterleafsoup: Sometimes i wonder why we Nigerians always respond senselessly to some posts, if one stays in the ghetto in the US is it your ghetto, a general breakdown is what is giving instead of you to make sensible contribution , before any one leaps to go to the US a general idea is needed, the local laundry mat you cant spend 10 usd a week , if you like leave in a 20k usd house monthly thats your problem ...This is 2018 lets be wise. |

MIKOLOWISKA: Thank you for this , however feeding is dependent on who is facing the situation , you cant really place how much you spend on feeding, African food generally is expensive, meanwhile the burger and co would make you look like bread that landed in water....its not easy but as i said in my earlier post a plan must be in place, education , if an average Database administrator here earns between 70k -100 k per annum depending on your experience ,this is a 40 hrs a week job .... people forget and sometimes get lost in the reality of life once in the US but remaining focused is very important, for me Nigeria is very good to stay however there is no harm in experiencing a better life where all the functionalities of life works, good roads, better health care, and you can plan.... |

Have you ever wondered why people are quick to tell about how tough the USA is and slow to talk about those who have been successful because they went to america? The last time I visisted. I met succesful nigerians, people whose annual income was in 6 digits Usd. I also met people who were struggling to get by. Regardless of where you are strive to be succeasful. God help us. |

shagaman:Do you know the dangers of living in a ghetto, robbery, vandelism, petty thievery worst still assaults or the ultimate. Can you raise a child in the ghetto and expect he or she not to feel the effects? If you did not grow up in that hood you are a target, talk of living with roaches and rats. You better tell the truth unless that household is making up to $50,000.00 a month it is the same struggle as 9ja, as for me life is too short to live in such conditions. If you came from a poor ghetto and moving to another one in the states you go manage I guess. 1 Like |

GetUmad: 3 gbosa for you, you have summarized everything, as for the man talking about Ghetto, Nigerians hardly live in ghettos nobody wan die we are not used to the gun shot parole, its not like naija where when one party breaks bottle the other guy fit run, YANKEE is gun to gun , you dont need to stay in the ghetto maybe in the projects people pay like $500 - 600 per month but who wants to go our and come back after hussle to see your TV and other things are gone. As said earlier people on seeing the realities on ground starts complaining because the work hard is real and hussle is real, you are up running 24/7 and when Nigerians complain this is the same work lots of Americans do ,you have to work for your money , most importantly plan and be prayerful. Most times it just takes a while and patience 2 Likes |

Bitterleafsoup: Oga which house hold do you think can make 50k monthly for yankee maybe you should show some people the way, maybe the definition of ghetto is what you are getting wrong, if you mean the projects ghetto as in ghetto forget it nigerian man cant survive there ,the truth is if you look and search very well there are good and secure apartments that guarantees security,with good schools around depending on where you are,there are states that one can stay and be able to live normal if you bring nigerian lifestyle here of laolao be ready for Prison break. Having said that i believe grace of God matters, yes Yankee is bleeped but people survive and thrive here , get better education and get your papers right better jobs are on ground. |
