Why are African immigrants mostly doing 2 to 3 jobs, working long hours in a day while their white counterparts take vacations with families to greeny environment. Even in the so called obodo oyibo the blacks are still treating themselves like second class humans

When we travel abroad... most of us do this not for ourselves but for the family back home...

Some families go extend of selling large properties to send the child abroad....

Now you wanna tell me the boy will arrive and start working... the next is to use his saving to flex on holiday?

Do you know how much it cost to go on holiday trip...
If u send that money back home... it can carter for a whole family chain...

Now as a foreigner
You hav to take care of yourself, immediate family and family back home...
One menial job cannot sustain that...
So some result in working 3 jobs...

If you lucky to study abroad or get high paying job...one job maybe enough...

But in all... abroad life is npt forever.. we came to make money and return someday...
Holiday spending will happen...but not compared to the whites citizens

Does a white man have any extended relatives or in-laws that depends on him for money? Do you know how many people back in Africa that are hanging on one person living abroad? And you ask why he's working 2-3 jobs.

Did he have any job at all before he left the continent?

Is it your stressing?.

You'd complain and call people lazy if they refused to work.

Now, that they are taking up 2-3 jobs to be able to meet up with bills and repatriation of finds to also help those at home, you'd still complain.

Humans with their double-barrelled mouths and penchant for always nagging.
Overstressing the body can shorten one's life span.

Though things might be expensive in foreign countries, but most immigrants always want to live above their means especially Africans.

A Frog doesn't run in the day time for nothing.

It's either it's chasing something or something is chasing it.

Those people doing those jobs are called breadwinners in their families, they have so much financial responsibilities on their shoulders.

Imagine getting a scholarship to study in a university with conditions that you maintain a CGPA, then you will relax like others would pay their fees.

American dream.

Today many people will tell you that American dream is mere dream.
But American dream is still exist till today. You can achieve the dream by working hard.
Its like that forever. Only hard working people achieve their dream.

Everywhere in the world include nigeria one can achieve a lot by working very hard.
You know chief afe babalola SAN. He said he work from 7 AM till 11PM daily for 364 days in a year. Just one day off in a year.
I remember chief gani fawehinmi also worked tirelessly like that.
Do you believe what babalola said?Have you worked from 7am to 11pm to know whether it is easy?

The system is not rigged bro.

I repeat it's not, we are the ones who give our lucrative jobs to foreigners on a platter of Gold.

It's only Africans that give a managerial position to a foreigner then allow the locals work under him.

It's very possible, but you will take some minutes rests in between.

It's not forever, when you tell some persons that you start from somewhere, they will call you evil and say you are demonic.

Babalola is a lair.I have worked from 7am to 7pm and 7pm till 7am respectively.That was a factory own by Lebanese and indian.It was terrible.I would be sleeping while I was operating a machine.Any mistake that I fall,the machine I operate would amputate my arm.
I would take an excuse from my supervisor and go into the bathroom to sleep because if I got caught by the Indian I would be sack.

It is easy for him. His body and mind have been tuned to accept it. It become his way of life.
Most of SAN you hear in the news every time also work tirelessly to reach that stage.

Gani fawehinmi chamber also did long hours of work, but I cant remember the exact hours.

What of medical doctors, some of them work so much.

In as much as everyone's strength differs, I still don't think he lied.

I have worked 24 hrs straight without sleep or Rest. From 2pm to 2pm, I have done it twice or so, I am talking about operating a very technical mechanical machine that requires full time sober mood, I know someone that can do 48hrs too, but you will likely catch fever or have a mental instability after it, I had a serious target then, so I am not familiar with borrowing, maybe I am just not lucky, so I had to do it.

But 7am to 11pm, it's workable, there are many people who can do, they just reject because of the low pay but in overseas, though the pay is still low but when converted to our poor currency, it's like a fortune.

How many hours work are the white doing themselves?

Meanwhile, Africa should develop their continent without blaming others for their woes
How will Africa develop when bigots like you prefer to support nodowells and men of questionable integrity just because of tribe and religion?



How many nations have you heard became developed by championing and brazingly celebrating bigotry and clannishness?



Europe is a success because most European countries are made up of people of similar tribe that share same dialect (language), culture and belief. Can same be said about Africa? NO!



When we say okay since we can't let go of our tribalism and clannishness, let us divide Nigeria into various regions that share same or similar dialect, cultural, traditional and religious belief so that it can be easier for each region to govern themselves, you greedy folks will say no all because you want to be using crude oil from other regions to be developing your region and at the same time not want equity and fairness yet you have the effrontery to be talking about African development angry

From your statement it's obvious you are not worth talking to.

Only a dumb and foolish person would use the word "move" when making reference to a holiday which is to last for a short time

There you have it, now get back to your tiny farmland full of termites

Oga Rest abeg.

If people resort to scamming to meetup, una go still talk, now if I vent my anger on you now, you will say I am disrespectful.

While I was still a Trainee was when I worked these extra hours, the pay was very small, about 35k, some of my colleagues were into romance scams to meet up, but I did what I had to do because I am a big fan of legit hustle, I easily get angered then, if you just tell me rubbish without providing an alternative source of income, I finish you without looking back, I don't allow anyone kill my self-esteem for nothing.

The man working overtime has a target, at a time I did so many overtime, to help admit one kid in my area whose parents couldn't afford to put her in a public primary school, I shouldn't even be telling you this because it seems the Sun has always shone on your compound, so you won't understand.
