If you got good vibes, all you need is good management by a season professional. I can hook you up with my elder cousin who has as managed the likes of Davido and wizkid. He is currently Tiwa Savage tour manager, quote me or send me a Dm if you are interested. |

If you think you can hit like WizKid or Davido, then stay....Otherwise travel out. Even if it is to Ghana! |

abbey621:This your “TO BE CONTINUED “ no be small thing. Next is child support on top factory work. Pray that you don’t miss a payment, then you would be arrested and tagged criminal due to your background history. Final story, no employer would come anyway near you with a 100 yard pole. No landlord would want you in their house. At the end, no money, no house, no food. The child you had it taken away because you cannot care for him/her. That is how generational poverty is passed down. 1 Like |

sonnie10:Okay I do see where you're coming from. I don't see any sense in him going through all those hassles for something as unpredictable as a musical profession. I'm just wondering who the hell would go abroad without a well constructed plan? If that's the position he's coming from then it clearly makes no sense. I'd admit to not know much about their "work laws" concerning music but what the hell is a work permit for if one can't earn money as a result of it? How do footballers earn that much money from foreign clubs? are you telling me they've all got green cards?... I've got a friend who recently got a work permit in the UK and his biggest stumbling block during the process was from the people in charge of processing his papers over here. You know we do things like mad people. But even before that he was issued a "temporary permit" with which he was able to work for stipulated hours, which of course meant there was a limit to what he could earn. But he beat that by taking jobs which only paid in cash, as then his earnings couldn't be "monitored". I don't think it's that different from the U.S, but who knows? |

honey82: Wow I understand your dilemma I was in your situation a year ago and here is my advice Don't travel to the US, if you are really serious about your music career Traveling to the US will detract you from your music career Immediately you get to the US, you will be preoccupied with making ends meet and learning the Western way of life Here in Nigeria, you can start your music business while expanding your business and using part of the profit to fund your music career Please don't give up on your talent Most of the people on this platform dishing out advice that you should go to the US have not left Nigeria Neither do they know what it means to create sustainable wealth You are still young. And you have nothing to lose giving your career a try in Nigeria It's better to fail taking risks than not taking risks at all Remember, the only thing standing in your way to success is FEAR. Overcome it and you will move mountains 2 Likes 1 Share |

JastSiryin:Anything you do that gives you money is regarded as work. You could be a doctor, musician, janitor, a footballer or a business man. If you earn any money, you have to pay income tax. Work permit is not an actual thing in the sense that it’s another way of saying you legally permitted to work on the bases of your immigration status. There are two status, it’s either you are a green card holder or a citizen. However there is a small group with temporary work permit on a case by case consideration like agricultural seasonal workers or those with pending immigration case. Op here doesn’t fit into any of these categories, and would remain illegal which is not a good position to be. On working without permit; How much do you think minimum wage is? About $7.5 per hour right? If this is what someone with legal status is entitled, how much do you think an illegal would be offered? Do you think that money is enough for food and transportation let alone savings. Would you encourage someone who makes #300k in Nigeria to put himself in position? 1 Like |

franchasng: You dey mind the gullible youth?.. They don't know music money goes as it comes. They have to pay for flights, hotels, record label associates, payback sponsors, expensive house rents, rent/buy some luxurious items to maintain a rich classy look, and other necessities of life until they don't reign no more...Only very few artistes with very good management secure their futures by investing some of these monies well before there sun cease to shine no more. They aren't as rich as they make ppl blve, that's why it's called showbiz. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Bros if you make 300k naira it best you save that money so that once you come to yankee you have something to work with. America is not a country you don't want to be in if you don't have money or family. America is country where you cant fall behind on your bills such rent water electricty transportation and also taxes dedicated if you live in a certain state will hurt you credit score making it hard for you to buy anything until that is paid off. Here in the Bay Area california rent is almost 3,000 dollars for three bedroom. If I were you I first apply for jobs wait for the visa and by then you have money save dup to move here. Also just know you be competing with the majority people of latinos white and asians for the scraps and pieces that they call jobs. Once that Naira exchange rate come to America you will get absolutely nothing because this yankee they tax the middle income and poor to enrich the elite |
