How time flies..
Well, nothing much..
Graduated from a reputable University in Nigeria as a Medical Doctor, did my Housemanship then while waiting for my NYSC, I got a link from an uncle who's a Very High ranking Officer in one of the biggest and known Breweries and started work in their Clinic, that's the company's clinic (within that four months, I was shortlisted for NYSC but I ignored it because I knew I wouldn't stay). Wrote a Licence examination and made it. Though I was still on probation, I worked for 5 months and i finally decided to quit that very Job and got ready.
To shorten the story, I made up to 580k from that job and VISA was approved successfully.
And the Journey to the US was successful.
N.B- I didn't travel as an illegal immigrant. My Family members are there; citizens, so they filed for me even before I arrived. Today, I'm happy and fulfilled.
please i want to know, is it very easy for someone who is travelling for first time who have someone over there for the visa to be prepared and and arranged from there? then how will one be able to receive the visa?

There's nothing like a 5yr working Visa.. The fact is this--- the Agent ll make u see South Africa, but on a 3month Visa (THREE MONTHS)

You'd be told to bump into the street and hustle like others.. Because of shame of coming back and probably because you want to make it big, you'll join drugs, scamgang and possibly robbery gang..

When I visited South Africa (Soweto) met many stranded guys from Cameroon and Nigeria there doing nasty things for money........ Native South Africans queued up for jobs. #Fact!

it's desperation that is causing all these.


And they become a nuisance abroad.

Planning to visit Kenya later this year, so I'm saving like kilode cheesy

Make sure you get the maximum experience out of the visit.

It is better you opt for Airbnb as against a hotel.

A friend went there without learning Deutsche first. You just have to facilitate your admission and yes, it's free. Not all the universities though.

please what are the requirements/how much can it cost?
is there any site to visit for more information?

- I saved 100% of my allowances as a 'Kopa'
- With the savings, I relocated to Abuja as a self employed Data Analyst
- Jobs not forthcoming, so I chose to remain a Blogger, my active part time job for over 5yrs.
- Made some huge success in a year and invested into mobile app "reselling"
- With re-investments of proceeds from app sales into advertising deals, I saw my way up
- Dollar rise under APC was a push because I saved in dollars and euros
- Saved some dollars at N245/$ during Goodluck administration, I sold in at N480/$ and Euros even higher
- Exactly 2 years after NYSC I submitted account balance of N20,688,480 to consular
- Six months bank statement showed inflow of N48,000,000+
- No one, I MEAN NOT A SINGLE ONE contributed directly into this success, but GOD ALMIGHTY!
- I left Nigeria for my masters degree in 2016, 100% self sponsored.

#NIGERIAN YOUTHS ARE NOT LAZY, IGBO BOYS ARE WAY-MAKERS!

Only God, self denial, hardwork, consistency and honesty did this. I also have a good friend who was there to motivate me to NEVER GIVE UP. And presently he also self sponsored himself out of Nigeria for masters in another country. Same strategy. Good luck to everyone.

Wow shocked nice one and inspiring sir....just preparing to go for service too as a PCM.....since u don't touch ur Nysc allawee as am also planning, how do u cope with feeding + transport for CDs? Will like to private chat u Sir concerning how I can develop my @signature in d country u settled in.....

Thanks in anticipated

i actually read ur post then..so are u back?..

Yes my bro.. I've been back twice

U can't imagine how I felt seein myself in Obodo Oyibo.. I looked at myself and said "My goodness me!"
#also it was my first time of entering an Aeroplane (the one I saw cross over me everyday)
I had close to 30 photos on my arrival. I took pictures with virtually everything around the Airport (inside and outside) and sharing it on Facebook got me this #Slayqueen who's been ignoring a fine boy like me..
Immediately I started adding ''''''u know''''''' to my English..

They trusted me with funds tho they were a bit afraid until they saw me.
