book your flight with either Emirate or Royal Air Moroc to New York at MMA and also book your connecting flight from New York to Chicago with Delta Airlines also at that same MMA. Or you can book ur flight at JFK with any airline when you land at New York.

Re: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by temmytanny(m): 2:00am On Mar 30, 2013
Hello guys,it been long since i posted here and i must say my job has been a major factor for my absence,i visit here everyday but find it difficult to read all posts cos of my schedule. i wish to congratulate those who have been issued visa and also congratulate those awaiting to be interviewed cos the visa is yours IJN.As you all are preparing to come join some of us in USA,i must advice you all to aim for the best but prepare for the worst. Stories am hearing about hosts are cause for concern for me and i must say here that no matter how bad things maybe,God will see you tru. US isnt as bad as most host painted it esp if you are hard working,you will make it.It saddens me when some host treat their guest badly.I have heard many stories here on how host treat their guest and if feel i should share some with you.
My distant cousin came into US tru lottery 10years back,he arrived at a very gud friends place(old school pals) in east coast.with all high hopes that things would go well,he was given just 1 one week to leave the house(his pals house)after arrival.He tot it was a joke until wen one week expired and his found his things outside.GC and SSN hadnt arrived,no where to go,no one to call.He left in the cold for days before my dad heard about it and contacted my uncle in TX.My uncle had to fly him to Texas and accommondated him,imagine if there was no one to helpout.
A muslim couple came into US some few years back only to call their host on arrival but the host neva picked their calls till date.The wife was heavily pregnant,no where to go,no one to call.It was a gud Nigerian that refered them to a church.The church accomondated them and today,they are doing fine.Why did he give them his number and promised them heaven and earth?

I know some nairalanders in US too must had some bad experiences too but i pray God see you all tru.

Why must we treat our fellow human so badly?If you cant help,why make promises?If you cant afford to accommondate someone why ask him or her to come to your place? I know it may not be easy to put someone in your house but i dont think it cost much financially,so why the maltreatment?

hmmmmm.... words.
Bro, pls how easy is it to get accommodation in indianapolis? as in the least and on an average of how much will you recommend to have for personal upkeep for few weeks of landing?
Re: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by temmytanny(m): 2:37am On Mar 30, 2013
MY ADVICE,
I dont know who is going to host you here,your brother,uncle,aunty or whatever but please dont relax and expect luxury here.They worked to make their cash and you must also be prepared to do so once you enter US. If you have cash in naija,bring all along with you to start your new life here,am not saying you should sell your assets oooo but if need be do so,you will make your money back once you start work here.
Once you arrive,start looking at how you will get a job so that you can be independent.Am not sayin you should neglect schooling runs but let job be priority.Once you settle down you can now plan ahead.
See you at the top

Good evening Sir brightmon! How r u settling down? I want to plead with you, and to plead with myself too: let's be peace makers, let's not condemn others of their sin or hold on bitterness against another. No one is perfect, and God forgives all. We all have our human weaknesses, so please sheath the sword. Don't remind us of issues of the past; glow with a happy mind as you that. Happy Easter!
Oga Ifeanyi, gini kamme kita eh? my brother, I cant wait to have you in the States. I was really happy when I read about interview gist, just reach me when u enter and we will assist in anyway that we can.
Happy Easter.

You have spoken well.

I called my host to help me pay d 165dollars for the green card. You know what he said. He said Jide I will I get my money back. I was so surprised. After I have done lot for his family and we have being closed family friend over 16yrs Well I told him I will transfer it to him. He is a Qualifed nurse and d 165dollar is a small money for him. Then I began to figure out our life is going to be wit him with d cope of period I am gonna stay wit him. My broda after he made that statement within me I know I am set for greater height.

My advice to everyone that has got his or her visa or about travelling soon is please and please, nothing like is my family or family friend. Pls prepare well financially and other wise. God will help us out IJN

Some guests are terrible too.People should go to the USA with some money so that they can rent a room in a hotel before they finally get an apartment.That way u only use ur supposed host's apartment address to pick up ur stuff from state dept. We shld learn to throw away the mentality of a 30 yr still living with his parents. Try to unteach urself of some Nigerian mentalities or way of doing things that illiteracy and poverty brought in.
