He's even lying about drugs being free in the states.

I've watched a number of documentaries and they always complain about the cost.

Guy appears fake.

Nooo...anyone with HIV gets drugs in the West. It's paid either by Insurance or the government for poor people. Nothing is truly free in the US; someone pays for it.

There is no way the government will allow lack of money by a patient to prevent them from getting drug and thus allow HIV spiral out of control and become an AIDS epidemic.

yinkeys:
@Megabig I used to think these top tier (US, UK, Australia, Canada & NZ) countries deny people with serious health compromising issues visa
Surprised you got to USA
Especially since they deny a ton of people’s visa applications daily in Lagos
Well 2008 is totally different from today.
Getting it in level 200, that’s crazy young. Congrats to getting out of that depression well.
A ton of people won’t be able to handle it.

Immigrant Visa to USA does medical including HIV.

I don't think they do for Visting etc. OP went through Visting

alphaconde:
u dont need to show evidence i believe

meanwhile ndlea couldnt jail burji kashamu till he died

they cant do anything to kyari

they have not shown they can

Marwa was not in charge then o....

planetx:
He is telling you the truth, that is one person that will tell you the absolute truth about America or the UK

Which truth?

Studymore123:
You started well but you don't have tell lies on a public forum. Many people are underpaid and millions struggle to make ends meet. Many default on their loans and others live pay check to pay check. There's need to increase minimum wage to improve the standard of living.

Underpaid? I am talking about living with dignity.
What full time job in America doesn't allow you to buy a car and have an apartment? Tell me bro. The job and the city.

Living pay check to pay check is a Choice. Person wey dey earn $15 an hour and goes to liquor store every weekend, bar every night, pays for cable, goes shopping every other weekend; that person never sabi.

Or you think it's like what ASUU says "My take home pay can't take me home"

America that pays people when they loose their jobs till they find another? Unemployment benefits. America that pays people who are poor to feed every month. That gives free or subsidized rent to the same people ? For ANYONE who applies o. Not just APC/PDP supporters or BMC Crew

maasoap:
Just because they give work to just stand and watch? There are different kinds of security jobs now.

Stand and watch? That's Nigerian method o

nakaman:
What insolence, u compare a manager who goes for more training and seminar abroad to a permanent gate man abroad, Oga give me the manager job. I can always save up some money and employ a white gateman abroad

They don't employ people like that in USA o. Millionaire sef no get driver, no get servant talk less of gateman (non existent job).

Everybody who has a job gets paid well and works strict hours. Pay includes insurance, 401k ( pension) overtime. Unless you want to give all your salary to your " gateman "

sukkot:
hehehe i done live for yankee ooo. i see am with my own 2 eyes . too much suffering in the land

Anyway maybe na your own be dat. Na enjoyment galore me I see for there.

sukkot:
been there done that. lived there for 8 years. too much suffering there. too much homelessness, despair hardship. i prefer Rwanda or botswana . nothing dey yankee. all na illusion. debt debt debt

This man hennnnn....I am suspecting you...

sukkot:
they are struggling ooo. you know how many pahrmacists are caught trying to sell drugs outside of office hours in america ? they try to supplement their income by prescribing narcotic drugs. the money no reach ooooo. it sounds much but after dem tax am it is small. yankee na suffer oooo unless you are doctor

Haaaaaa....bro....who do you this thing nau

Uchemus:
The fact that people see being a security personnel as a bad job is worrisome. This goes to show you how deep the rot in our society is. Most Nigerians dot believe in dignity in labour.

They all want to be Dangote or Davido or Obi Cubana

sukkot:
ahhh you no understand the system ? that money is small but it is just that when you have a good job you have access to credit and loans. all those people owe so much money in loans that they are paying back. forget that illusion living oooo. the average household in america is 400 thousand dollars in debt. so all that good living na igbese. the salary itself is small.

to enjoy yankee well well with no debts hanging over your neck you must earn correct money oooo my brother. at least 200k a year

Bro, do you live in America? If not, I advice you do.
Average household has 400k debt how? Credit Card? That's impossible. Or your mean mortgage? That's a debt, generating money.

My cousin just sold his house after 12 years of ownership; he collected cool $110,000 profit with no work. House simply increased in value to $320,000.

Please try and read "Rich Dad , Poor Dad". Some debt are good. Even in the Bible, Elijah told the widow to borrow vessels.

That refinery Dangote is building na loan o! Yet his net worth will increase by $20 billion when it's done.

Wisdom is profitable.

Again if you are earning 150k a year in America, YOU ARE RICH by American standards.

TheGift:
Yes, you must survive first, before you can live, But don’t in the process of trying to survive speed up your death.

That’s what happens when you allow, ONLY money and needs drive your decisions.

There is dignity in Labour, every where. I have artisans who work for me in Nigeria, that carry themselves with so much dignity , I can send them to a Bank Manager. And they are collecting thier money.

They don’t need to run to the USA to go and do what they are too ashamed to do here, because they are not confident in their self worth.

The problem is not so much location or environment, as much as it is our mentality.

Why would only money be the factor in working? It's important, but not the only reason.

uthlaw:
how many times have you travelled to America and they explained to you!

Please ask him o.
If dem give am visa nau, I'm no go collect?

sukkot:
brother i guess everybodys opinion of hammer is different. see this word HAMMER only applies if you are working in the usa and having the cost of living of nigeria. but if you are living in the usa ? you have usa cost of living and dare i say anything less than 150,000 dollars a year is struggling ooooo. dem tax am, you pay rent, your childrens school fees, you pay health insurance, you pay other bills, you buy food, buy clothes for children, buy gas for motor, pay car insurance etc etc 150,000 dollars done finish oooo. so all those jobs you mentioned ? plumbing etc etc, na struggle life for yankee be dat oooo. the thing is to become a guru in IT programming and be earning 200 thousand usa dollars while living in naija working remotely. now thats iving

Hammering is making much sudden money, that's extra and much more than you need.

Sorry but anyone individual earning 150k in the USA is classified as wealthy by the US Government. Infact any household earning over 80k is well to do, not one person o; husband and wife.

Check the tax rate.

How can an individual be earning 80k and be struggling? Dem swear for am? What is he doing? Using drugs and carrying $1000 prostitutes?

Uchemus:
Most of these people haven't crossed Nigeria's border before, not even to Cameroon, yet they are the ones with the loudest opinions.

Very true

TheGift:
Everything in life is not just about making money to survive the necessities of life.

What happened to your sense of purpose and self worth in life. How about working at a job, not just to feed your stomach but to feed your hunger to live and fulfill your dreams.

Thinking with your stomach alone doesn’t allow one really achieve their potential, that’s why people would e willing to ignore their passion, talent and opportunities, to go stand at gate.

Beyond survival, let self actualization be your guide, only then can you make the better choice.

You can't fulfill any dream in life if you are not feeding yourself and taking care of your responsibilities like family , rent.

Making your dream come to pass is not moinmoin, which is most people never do.

Most people you see massively successful today except those born to rich families worked jobs first. Not talking about Nigeria, talking about the USA.

There is dignity in labor. No dignity in begging relatives and friends to lend you money or pay your children's school fees.

sukkot:
its not high paying. if you join an automechanic workshop in usa they start you off at 30,000 dollars a year. when dem remove tax you are left with like 20k. you cant even rent a decent apartment anywhere in a major city in america with 20k.

20k? Bros how is that possible? The average pay for entry level work is $15 an hour, 8 hours a day without counting over time is over $2400 a month. No decent full time job will pay you 20k a year after taxes.

And you can't compare what an 18 year old fresh out of high school earns to a grown man in his 30s or 40s that's been working for long. Pay is not stagnant here nor work level. No one who has been working for 5 years will be living on 24k a year except he's an unserious human being.

If you are coming to America, please learn handy man work like plumbing, mechanic, painting to add to your degree; you will hammer quickly.

sukkot:
Bbrother all this one na talk ooo. its like mechanic in naija and auto repairman in USA ? na the same car dem dey fix ooo. its a low paying job in america which is why most of the ones who work in ghetto complexes sell drugs to the residents to supplement their income. They are gatemen wey dey carry gun

Haaa. Mechanic is low paying job in America? Nooooo.
Mechanics earn more than bank workers ( infact bank workers are poorly paid except you are like an investment banker or work in Corporate banking) a bank manager here is on the same level as an ordinary worker. Retail banking pays nothing.
Mechanics earn more than people with University degrees.

Labor jobs like plumbers, mechanics and construction workers earn heavily here o. As much as $80,000 a year!!!!!

sukkot:
ahn ahn, it is still gateman na. just because they give you 2 weeks training doesnt change that fact oooo. i know people doing it in london

Big mistake. And I'm not talking about London. Topic says USA.

The vast majority of houses in America don't have fences, talk less of gate, so such job as gate man doesn't exist.
Gates are usually in large industrial complexes and homes of the wealthy and famous.

Most millionaires who are not famous don't have fences.

2 weeks training is not sufficient for security, especially if you are handling guns which in all likelihood you ll be required to know how to use.

The idea of a gateman in Nigeria is a jobless half educated man earning barely enough to survive, so depending on Dash and gifts from. Visitors and Oga and food from Madam; that concept doesn't exist in the USA. Every job is paid well enough to give you dignity and afford the necessities of life.

sukkot:
security guard is gateman na . all na name.

Sorry sir, that's ignorance.
To work security in America, you have to under go training, almost police like.

They don't just allow anyone to do any job in some countries.

Security is serious matter; peoples lives and properties are under your watch.

maasoap:
As seen on Facebook today and it looked like greater number of responders went with gateman in USA.
As for me, considering all factors, I prefer to be a bank manager in Nigeria. What about you? Any reason for your choice.

What's gateman in USA? There is no such thing.

Nairalandboss:
This man is the most trustworthy person I've ever met. I used to think people in Computer Village are criminals but he proved me wrong

Long story. My laptop got spoilt around the time that I was very broke. So I was looking for something of great spec within my budget.

This morning, I saw this post. So, I contacted Kaluemma around that 4 something AM. He responded. We negotiated but my pocket too small.

I had to explain my financial situation to him. He showed sympathy and later accepted my offer.

Fast forward. I sent him money for the laptop and he waybill the laptop to me with original charger



Funniest thing is that the laptop looks better than it looks in the pix. Very neat!


Lest I forget, he even paid part of my Waybill money.


I will recommend you any day boss

Wow. Well done @Kaluemma. Keep doing business the right way! Congratulations Mr.Buyer for your great purchase. Enjoy!

You just have to be very careful now....
So many scammers in the name of logistic agents..

That's serious o. Scam somebody upon collecting my item?!!!!

GIANTPLUSHUB:
You need to understand that in shipping, alot of things happens hence there's no best reliable or best honest shipping company due to situations beyond their control most times. Every shipping companies are just trying their best. The most reliable one can become unreliable tomorrow and the most unreliable one can become reliable tomorrow and vice versa.

Even the Almighty FedEx and DHL can still fvck you up. Of recent, FedEx had a downtime with their shipping processor for a month. If you had any shipment with them then, you would have concluded that, they are not reliable and honest with their delivery duration. Right?

Just as some things happens in the world that are beyond control than just to exercise patience. Same is applicable in shipping.

If you see a shipping company that is always available to listen to your complaints, give you updates about your items and your items are safe with them. Stick to them!

No need jumping around looking for shipping company here and there because no one is the best. All of us just dey try!

Your contact?

My contact? I'm buying things in the US and need a reliable AIR shipping service that can deliver them to Nigeria?

Please who can recommend a good shipper to Nigeria from the US that is honest and straightforward. All the shippers I have used , it's been a nightmare.

The Great Sani Keita. One blow, 7 die. No nonsense guy.
1 man army!!!!

Frustration has risen in the West African country in recent months due to the frequent killing of civilians and soldiers by the militants, some of whom have links to Islamic State and al Qaeda.

This paragraph says a lot.

Citizens are tired of nonsense. Citizens are tired of militants ( in some countries, we call them terrorists , unknown gunmen and bandits)

aribisala0:
Many of you just talk
I will try again

These coaches/carriages/train cars if used for high speed rail do not have engines in the same way that a car or truck has engines
You could have 6 coaches coupled together. The question is where does the power come from is it within the train unit or external. .

High speed trains are generally are powered by electricity which is EXTERNAL to the carriage.
This is very different from what we have in Nigeria where the trains are powered by engines that are part of the train

You seem to think that high speed trains are like a high speed Ferrari or formula one vehicle

NO

The trains when deployed for high speed rail run under what in Nigeria we call High Tension cables. There is a point of contact with HIGH VOLTAGE electricity infrastructure that is dedicated to the high speed rail infrastructure

ON TOP of the carriage with the electric lines and that is how the carriage or coach is pushed along the track

So high speed entails specialized tracks and specialized power.



Also High speed rail is used generally for long distances e.g to get you from Lagos to Abuja in one hour.

They are generally not used for Metro services where they would have 20 stops in 10 minutes.

Get your head around the idea that it is not the coaches or carriages that are "high speed" .
A coach may be suitable for multiple uses whether high speed or not .

If you have experienced or understand the concept of electricity powered trains you will not be talking this nonsense

With respect to Milwaukee where it is said it was intended to use these coaches for High speed rall .There is sufficient and regular electricity to support high speed rail
If the coaches are then redeployed to another use where they are PULLED along by DIESEL engine locomotives or whatever.That is a completely different scenario

Finally summary; Lagos is getting 2 brand trains. First of its kind in Nigeria and West Africa.

We move!

aribisala0:
Your problem is that you do not use your brain . You just read and react , copy and paste like an automaton

Go back and read what you have posted
A High speed rail line DOES NOT EXIST in LAGOS or Nigeria

Trains intended for use on a high speed rail line can be used on a rail line that is not high speed
The fact that a knife was intended for use in killing a turkey does not make it a TURKEY KILLING KNIFE or mean it cannot be used to kill a chicken

High speed refers to the LINE and supporting technology not the coaches or carriages
FYI
There is no High speed rail in the UK today . A contract was awarded to start one and that should come online in 10 years or so.

So specialized tracks are required and if we bought trains intended for use on a High speed track that DOES NOT make the trains "high speed".

Haaaaaaaa......Oga don shift goalpost o.....

First it was train is not high speed; then Oga see say dem be. Now it's Lagos does not have the tracks....Chai....Naija man....

Eko Oni baje o.....Lagos no go spoil!!!!!
