Chriscero: I don't know what they did to the meter thing that made me see 227$. From the airport to Manhattan. I was furious, but needed to get going. Gave him 300,only for him to return it,saying I gave him 3$. I couldn't do anything, I gave him another 300$. He came down to help bring out my luggage. When I stepped out of the car, my waist bag dropped in his car. He picked it,asking me to put it in my box,before bad guys snatch it. Acting all nice asking me to take care of my health. I had 400$ inside an envelope stuck in the bag. The ID!OT took the money. I got to the hotel only to realise all that's happened. 3 Likes |

Hello guys,I got into the US about a week ago. It was a long stressful flight. I fell sick a day before my trip. Couldn't cancel cos I thought I could manage it,.I regret not cancelling. . Emirates is cool, but I thought Airbus 380 were meant to be spacious. Jeez! The leg room isn't spacious enough. Aircraft filled up,e remain make they sell toilet seat. I was restless from Dubai to NY. Maybe cos I was sick. I expected so many questions, but got few. I observed all of them,saw a very tired looking guy and joined his queue . Here; Cbp ,, What do you do and why are you here? Me,, I am a civil servant and i also run a **** company, and im here For business (told him the business I came for) Cbp,, How much you got for it? Me,, I have 7k$ Cbp,, But that's not enough money for the business Me,, I got my credit card here . (For my mind 'You dey crase,How much you get?') Cbp,, Where would you be staying? Me,,mentioned the hotel. Handed me my passport, and said ,'welcome to America ' I went to pick my luggage. A guy helped me drag it out the roller, cos I couldn't. I was really sick and dizzy. Guess what? I got duped of my hard earned 700$ by a Pakistani or Indian motherfvckers. ,can't tell. My heart is burning as I write this. This only happened because I was sick and didn't know what was going on. Open your eyes,guys. Humanity is fvcked. Bad guys everywhere. I think New York is over hyped.I spent 3 nights instead of the planned 1,cos I needed to recover. Meanwhile, before I return to Naija, i will get my stolen money back from this America . I shall WORK .Thunder fire them! 11 Likes 1 Share |

Ugosample: I once followed my Igbo friend to his village in Anambra. Dude,I was blown away by the beautiful duplexes, tarred roads(built by the rich,from what he told me ) and street lights. The road network is far better than what's in the 'cities .' It was at that point I understood why my friend's hussles are triple of mine. Igbos are competitive in nature. But I'm yet to understand why one would build beautiful, well furnished mansion, and visit once or twice (e no dey pass 12 days per stay sef)a year. Una people dey try. The pressure no be here. 9 Likes |

Please, what do they mean? I am stuck cos I can't make payment. Someone, please, help. Meanwhile, na wah for Emirates, they don sell seats finish. Very few comfy seats left. I thought I was to book for free 48 hours before departure. I guess it's cos it's on promo,abi na their usual. |

I have been denied twice in my life, but I have a US visa now. First was a UK visa,six years ago. I was very young. I cried and said I was never gon try again. I got my mind off visiting any western country. Second time was in January. US denied me in Abj. I felt so bad, my chest pained me for days cos I was very confident I'd get it.A lady friend advised me to try again . I decided to give it one last try. Same info. Same purpose, but a more confident me. I went with an open mind." If this fails , I count my loss and go home ''. In all honesty, I didn't hope this time. I was blown away when my visa was approved . This life ehn. Sometimes, when we lose faith, the unexpected happens . I don't know if it's luck or the way it's been designed to happen. *my 2nd interview was in lag* You can try again, guys. 17 Likes |

Abeg, my people, I have more questions. I have two boxes I want to travel with (a hand luggage and a bigger box. They are light and contain just clothes and novels). I am hearing it'd raise a red flag since I would be spending only 2 weeks . I don't understand why this would be an issue. Please,Someone should enlighten this JJC. Thanks. |

SAMSUNG Note 2 for 5 years. It's never been faulty. The only thing now is the picture quality, not as sharp as these recent smart phones. I want to go for Note 8 now. The only reason I am changing is cos I need a phone with a very sharp camera. |
