[b]To be honest, based on my experience and many others here, i would say, Stay away from Nigerians here, especially those you think are Family here, its hard but its the truth, many times they are nothing but BIG trouble, there are many nice people around, including Akata and other nationals, be very open to interact and communicate with them, they would help you faster than even your own brothers that have been here for Donkey years..

If you are not hard working, patient and cant persevere, please just sit your Lazy behind back in Nigeria and don't bother wasting your flight ticket, because like they say " there is no free lunch in the US"

And when you get here to avoid distraction, Stay away from Facebook etc, Focus on improving yourself based on the skills and education you acquired before coming here.

Lastly, Records are very important, be very careful, because if get into the wrong side of the Law, it stays there for donkey years and affects everything you do for life.

God bless the OP[/b]

shut up

Not all is bad, but the common sense of it is to be alert, be discerning, and guard your own interests closely.

You can reach out to friends and family you know for advice, just get more than one opinion and do what seems right.

We live in the age of the internet so for a lot of practical information there are trustworthy websites. If you don't have a computer, they are free for use in the library.

While money is a major concern, building a personal network is important. If I couldn't eat tomorrow, I have more than one house to go to for a plate and even a bed.

There are a lot of immigrant service agencies that have counselors who can provide assistance and advice.

Learn to cook and clean for yourself. It is very expensive to pay for someone else to do it abroad.

School is great, but don't fall for those expensive programs that give people worthless degrees. Do your research about the ranking and quality of the school.

Limit smoking and drinking, they are expensive habits that can make you undesirable.

Befriend people who are either where you want to be or fast on their way. This does not mean you take advantage, but you can learn from them.

Get involved with religious organizations if you practice. Having a routine like church or the mosque can help build a network of people doing good things for good reasons.

Humility, kindness, and respect will do wonders even if it is not always returned.

don't forget to go with garri,
it might come in handy.

Get rid of your heavy accent and always wear cologne. I hate FOBs.

If possible please stay in Naija. Too many of you here already. most are good for nothing anyway.

Get rid of the heavy accent? And throw it to where? Over Atlantic Ocean

It's your type that crossed into U.S. and started to form with the weird accent that puts everyone in double commotion. Double Jeopardy. Your trying to form mad your experience a terrible one, so you want to act out against someone else.

Please people, BE YOURSELF. This is WRONG ADVICE, people will gladly communicate with you if you speak yourself than forcing yourself to be what you're not. You'll be mocked trying to feel among rather than being yourself.

The accent comes with time, and when I mean time, it's def not 1,2,3 years, it takes years for the American accent to flow through because you have to learn the words, (we use different word than Nigeria does) and the pronunciation is different. You also have to fluently interact with people constantly before the accent flows through. Even educated veterans here still have slight African accent, let alone, a new comer.

As much as your spite and hate cannot be overlooked, for you to call someone an FOB, it certainly means that you're in the same system. Veterans do not use that word, unless students who're in the school system. So it translates either you're still in high school, college, and haven't seen the light for you to make such comment. So please, STOP the advice knowing that you're in the same FOB.

One thing I wanna tell any guy-man wey still de Naija is to put head down and find a space in the country where you can solve a problem. Look around you , u must find smthing u will do to better the lots of humanity; like that u make ur cool cash.

Discover a problem, solve that problem and money starts pumping into ur acc. Just dont think of travle, the economy of the western world is in total downward swing.My guys its not easy outside here at all. The whole world now depends on Africa for survival. So ,if u r still in Africa, pls stay put nd find ground where u can match. There r more destitutes in NYC than our dear Lagos if u don know.

Naija is the destination (162m people)good mkt for anything u can think of

With fringe benefits like early retirement and a lifetime on Vicodin and other pain meds. Why get a good education when you can spend the rest of your life on SSI . . .
