Babyvet:
I read your post very well, I’m addressing some of the points you made in your post thats all.

I've been passively catching up with comments and individual opinion and I must say how I've been somewhat impressed judging by my history of interaction with other Africans especially Nigerians here in the U.S
However, I cannot undermine the fact that some still tread the typical path of mis-information and residual knowledge to decide their life decision.

First of all, we need to choose our sides right before solving any eminent issue here: If you on this thread and you are IN Nigeria, no matter vast your knowledge is or how well you use the internet, there are tonnes of answers relating to real-life scenarios you haven't been in, rather than dissipating the wrong information, it 'll be nice to hear from the horse's mouth so as to broaden your skills.

The next category are the Nigerian living in US but not better off in terms of knowledge. See, that you spend donkey years in America doesn't guarantee success, or better information unless you put yourself in the correct track with the right set of people. What am I saying here? Many Nigerians living in the US have failed to realise the power of being "self-informed". There is literally a guideline to every step you can ever imagine to take in America ranging from Further studies, buying your first home, Filing taxes, Starting a business, import/export to mention a few. It thrills my personality to hear people poison the mind of others based on what their forefathers who's been working at Walmart since '98 told them.

Only as a means to inspire someone here and also debunk the hoax about having few blacks in silicon valley, I think it begins with you... What have you done to put yourself in that position? I work within the cyber security team of America's biggest bank, Just completed my master's degree, have two intermediate level cyber security certification already, and delved into website/ mobile app development on the side, a 2 year old LLC all in 3 years of my entry into this country.



The painful thing is some people haven't even ever tried,
Remember how they said US never issue visas to virgin passport, guess what? some of us tried.
Remember how they said blacks do only janitor jobs and MRDD, guess what? some us came to prove them wrong.
Remember all the myths we were told about living in America, guess what? some of came to debunk it.
Do your due diligence, walk with the right set of people - they decide how far you'll go, and don't stop pray. If by now you still doubt the existence of God, then something is probably wrong with you.

Together, lets make this $$

I miss how effortlessly beautiful she looks when she's asleep. I miss how stupidly beautiful she looks when awake. I miss the kind of envy/admiration i get from women when I would walk with my girlfriend on the street (Girls are weird lol) _fuck this thread, I didn't want the memories to start crawling back.

One reason Nigeria has yet to make progress in most areas is our ignorance, disregard & obfuscation of data. For selfish reasons, we’ve developed a culture of lies and secrecy. You can help to stop this by taking the #EndSARS survey.

Here are 5 reasons you should take the #EndSARS survey:
1. It’s is an anonymous survey, your identity is fully protected.
2. It’s a short survey. Most people complete it in 3minutes.
3. You are contributing to the birth of a new Nigeria that your children will be proud of.
4. It will help us understand the problem better and assist our advocacy for responsible policing in Nigeria.
5. You will be contributing to getting justice for many Nigerians that have lost their lives to bad governance, irresponsible policing and inept intelligence gathering.

So, don’t hesitate to click the following link to share your experience http://www.endsars.org.ng Call someone who has had an experience and encourage them to take the surevey too. Do this for you!! Do this for Nigeria!!
