castrokins: Una No Go Kee Me Will Laugh. OP Meant No Harm. He's Passed A Good Info To People Who Are Interested In America. Peace!!!

I agree with you. But he's not supposed to guarantee success in America. Him be God? Or are fingers equal? If all what he wrote are true, then no one will ever live in anywhere in the world than in America, and no one will ever relocate from America.

He only said the good sides.. When the innocent get there is when some of them will start cursing him.

His good info should clearly state ''likely, might, and not guarantee.

gcfr.com:
Lol, I can't remember my domains anymore! Choi! Lemme visit godaddy lol

me too sef. Been busy with something else

lemler: Chinedu Echeruo, whose businness was sold to Apple for $1 BILLION is a Nigerian with a success story. But you know what, he went to GRADUATE SCHOOL. And not just any graduate school: Harvard Business School. But do you have to make 1 billion dollars to be successful? In my opinion, no. But there are a few things to note:

Most Americans(including immigrants) are in the "rat race' or the 'debt treadmill'. You know you are in trouble if you cannot afford to slow down.

2 types of immigrants to the US:

1. Those who come in and they have a well informed strategic plan of how to get to the top of American society. These are the people with vision and they will not mind sacrificing to go back to school or finding ways to improve themselves.
2. Those who come to the US thinking you can 'hustle and you will make it big'. To tell the truth, almost all the people in this group end up still 'hustling' till they retire, and then have to depend on Medicare/social security after retirement. No, I do not despise them, it's what they chose and are comfortable with.

Lest anyone shout me down, let me give you my current personal stats: what I pay in income taxes is more than what approx 60% of americans earn, yet I drive an 8 yr old Toyota Corolla. I buy good clothes on sale (but high quality ones because they last long), I have never paid a kobo in credit card interest because I never buy what I cannot afford. What do I do? I can't say it here. How did I get here? I went to school. I got an advanced degree. I realised quickly when I got here that if you join those looking for money, and you don't aim high, you will never be able to stop working 2 jobs, you will not sit down to eat with your children (you are always working) yet what you make will go to paying off the store cards, the car note, the mortgage. I have debts, but only beacuse these are leverageg. If the bank asks for their money, I can affordd to pay them off with just some minor discomfort, but will not be bankrupt.

So why am I writing this: you definitely can make it in the US, but you need top notch information. I wonder why people are not asking how they can come to America and be successful on wall street? As pharmacists, doctors, or in bulding a business that will transform the world?

Can I come back to Nigeria? Yes I wish I can, I would love to, but it is too late. Could I have made it in Nigeria? Yes. Without any doubt. If I knew what I know now, before I left Naija, I would be more successful there.

Happy New year to all. Will contribute more as I see fit.

I'm loving this

Somorin#1:
Unfortunately the OP is 99% right.

USA is the greatest country in the world. GREATEST INDEED IN THEIR CURRENT PROBLEMS EVERY SINGLE WEEK. However I guess it depends on how your measure that fact. Quality of life, jobs, heathcare, industry, freedom, etc?

Jobs: [s]There are jobs here. I personally do not know any unemployed Nigerian.[/s] MILLIONS OF AMERICA ARE SEARCHING FOR JOBS AND POVERTY IN AMERICA IS A BELL. WE KNOW WHATS UP BRO!

Credit: [s]My Wife came here in September and she has an unsecured $5k C1 card on her own so that she can build her credit.[/s] YOU'RE TELLING US THIS, WE'RE NOT THERE, SO IT CAN BE FALSE

Visa: [s]If you overstay your visa you will get a ban. It's not my job to educate on the length of the ban USCIS.Gov has all the info.[/s] NO IT IS OUR BUSINESS

Citizenship: [s]My Wife is on track to become a citizen in side of 3 years of her entering the US.[/s] BIGGEST LIE OF THE YEAR 2014

Education: Many public schools. POINTLESS AND HAS NO MEANING

Healthcare: [s]What we had worked for us. We are trying new things.[/s] ONLY FOOL CAN FALL INTO YOUR KNOWINGLY FALSE CLAIM

Crime: [s]I have never been a victim of a crime. I don't live in crime infested hood nor engage in activities that promotes crime.[/s]
EVEN A DAY YEAR OLD BABY IS A VICTIM OF RACISM IN AMERICA. ASK OBAMA FOR REFERENCE

Racism: [s]I've never been the recipient of a direct racist encounter in my 30 years here. But then again I don't go around looking for trouble.[/s]
AMERICA IS THE LAND OF RACISM

Your opinions on the US are faulted. I salute your national pride of which I have same for Nigeria and the US but I'm reasonable.

Your claim is even worst than the OP, and does not deserve to prove wrong.
In other news, stop misleading innocent people that America is full of money printing machine.
UK is better than your America
Whether your wife has become a US citizen or about to become it within 3 years or 6 month, you're the one telling us, and it's non of the innocent people's business and will never be a reason to convince everybody that America is full of money tree machine, honey and milk.
If all your claims and the Op's are 100% right, then i expect both of you to include ''Contact me if you need cash for your air fair and i will pay your tuition fee too.


The US citizenship process can take less than a year or several years. Part of the variation depends on where you are with your application right now. If you are not a legal permanent resident of the United States, this is your first step. If you wish to become a US citizen and neither of your parents are US citizens, you’ll first need to immigrate to the United States and become a legal permanent resident. Once that is completed, a process that alone can take a few years, you’ll need to remain in the United States and establish permanent residency for five years,


We are not smelos

http://www.us-immigration.com/us-immigration-news/us-citizenship/how-long-does-the-us-citizenship-process-take/

I STAND ON MY CONCLUSION:

UNITED KINGDOM IS BETTER THAN UNITED STATES: In Education, Transportation, Crime Rate, Quality of Life and more...

UK/EUROPEAN PASSPORT HOLDER: Can live in more than 28 European countries as many years as you want and also claim some entitlement

AMERICAN PASSPORT HOLDER: Cannot live in any European country longer than 3-6 month. If you stay longer than 3-6 month you will become illegal immigrant/Asylum seeker or arrested and deported back to your Honey and Gold land as you claim.

POINT: UK passport more useful than US passport

akpan123: Doct.com, l don think he is misleading anyone. its a write up . is like someone writing about the benefit of staying in nigeria. travelling out of

nigeria is a personal decision. whether is usa or euro etc. secondly , there is unemployment every where. and in any country. it all has to do

how you make best use of the resources available THAT IS WHAT HE SHOULD DIG DEEP AND BRING OUT, BUT NOT GUARANTEEING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT EVEN 10% GUARANTEE, in achieving your goals . nigerians are hard working people and they are blessed , no matter

the country ,they reside.

The write up is in question

[quote author=tensor77][/quote]Thank you

jakaiso: Its Easy to Succeed in America
For so long-I have heard about how difficlult it is for Nigerians and black people to succed in America. With evidence I have come to the conclusion that this is actually the opposite. Indeed a new book by Yale law professor Amy Chua lists Nigerians amongst 7 other culural groups as those most likely to succeed in America-this has only confirmed my observations.

I have lived in Nigeria,the UK, Ghana and been to other several countries-but I can tell you that IT IS EASY TO SUCCEED IN AMERICA. By success of course I mean- the ability to prosper financially and earn enough money to allow you to live comfortably.
Bros-if you are planning to come to America-please come, abeg come...there is milk and honey flowing here! WHERE IS THE MILK AND HONEY? IN WHICH STATE? STOP MISLEADING PEOPLE THAT MIGHT HAVE DECIDED TO HEAD TO ANOTHER COUNTRY BEFORE THIS YOUR FALSE HONEY AND MILK CONVINCE THEM

Dont get me wrong-you can succeed in Nigeria as well-but if your dream is to come to America-please come. All you need to do is to follow some simple rules-and success is yours.
[s]Forget about all the so called bad things you hear happening in America-its less than 0.00001% [/s] YOU'RE A BIG LIAR, WHITE PEOPLE WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE AS HELL WHETHER YOU LOOK FOR THEIR TROUBLE OR NOT, WORK OR NOT, YOU'RE A 9JA OR NOT of life in America and bad things happen every where. White people are not going to go make life difficult for you. Just obey the rules (and I know sometimes Nigerians find it diccult to obey rules), work smart, not just hard,save money and THINK.

RACISM
[s]You might have heard that blacks are discriminanted against here. The truth is that sectionalism whether it be racism, tribalism, neoptisim occurs everywhere in the world.[/s] AMERICA IS BUILT ON RACISM There are Ibos who hate Yorubas and Yorubas who hate Hausas and Hausas who hate Ijaws and Ijaws who hate Oginis. There are even Ibadan people who hate Ijebu people (yet there are both Yoruba). In Anambra-there are two communities- both speaking the same languagae who have been at war with each othere for decades-with many lives lost.


THINGS TO NOTE

BEFORE YOU COME
1)Education is good-but regardless-you will still have to go back to school. Aquire skills in carpentary,mechanic,plumbing,computer repair, electrical repairs or any other hands on skills. These are things that we look down on in Nigeria. But in Yankee-these guys earn up to $100 an hour. The carpentar who is going to repair my door wants me to pay him $160 for labour for a 30 minute job!
Combine this with your job and you can earn mega bucks.

2) Open a GT or an other bank account that gives you a mastercard-this will help you when you start sending things home to sell -so that you can get your money easily.

IF YOU COME WITH A SHORT VISA AND OVERSTAY
I dont advise anyone to do this. I know a popular musician who came here in the 90s-and is now stuck here. It can be difficult.

IF YOU COME WITH AN IMMIGRANT VISA /OR WORK VISA

1) [s]Get a job. Get a job. Get a job. Dont make the mistake some like me who were self employed in Nigeria made. Get a job. There are jobs in America-ignore the stats. There may not be office jobs-but there are jobs. Target states with low unemployment like Minneosta-currently about 4 %![/s] WHERE ARE THE JOBS? POST JOB AGENCY ADDRESSES HERE FOR US.
With a school cert from Nigeria-you can get an entry job with pay of like $8 to $12 an hour. Walmart will pay you like $8 an hour-while Boston Scientific temp job will pay you like $10 an hour. With overtime-you can make as much as $500 to $700 a week-thats up to $2000 a month. Offer to do overtime-work yourself bro.
Nursing seems to be the easiest way to good pay these days. With a 2 week course-you can be on track and within 2 years -you can be an RN -earning $35 to $50 an hour and working just 3 days a week (12 hours a day). Giving you days to work over time or another job. I know many Nigerian Nurses earning $5000 to $8000 a month.
Then go ahead and get a bachelor degree and Masters.
And this is for men too.

2) Live below your income. Ignore the offers to buy new gadgets or iphones-discipline yourself and save at least 30% of your income. Forget about sending money to ANYONE in Naija for your first year or maybe your first few years. DOnt be like me-sending money to people who are not even hungry. Its better to send them 200,000 naira in 5 years time then $100 now (with them telling you that its too small!)

3) [s]Get a second job if possible-even if its 10 hours a week. There are many of them-especially at the stores or schools.[/s] I HAVE BUNCH OF FRIENDS WITH GREEN CARD STILL SEARCHING FOR JOBS IN NY, MD, NJ, e.t.c

4) Go to school-get a degree-if you plan to work all your life-it will make the difference in what you earn.

5) [s]Start a small business. The easiest to start-is simple buying and selling to Nigeria. Electronics, clothes, books, computers, phones etc. $300 from your paycheck used to buy some items every month and shipped to Nigeria can be turned into $1000. I have done it before and still do it. With consistency -you can earn more from this then your paycheck.[/s] LIKE SAY E EASY EVEN WITHIN 2 YEARS SELF, HOW MANY HOUSES OR CARS YOU DON GET SINCE YOU ARRIVE IN AMERICA?.

6) Acceralate your credit status. The American life is made easier with the credit system. Its not an issue of borrowing money. Without a credit report and credit score,there are many things you cannot do-including renting an apartment in some places, buying a house and even getting a job these days. It takes about 2 years for the average immigrant to qualify for credit-but you can accelerate this process. Within your first month -apply for and get 1 or 2 secured credit cards-these are cards which you place a deposit to get. There is 100% approval on these cards as its your money.
[s]For example the Capital One Card only requires $99-and you get the card with $99 to $200 on it. Your aim is to make sure that on your statement 80% of the money is still on it. You mustnt leave all the money there-YOU HAVE TO SPEND SOME. What I did was to allocate the card to a specific bill-maybe your phone bill or gas bill (petrol). Just make sure that on a $200 card for example-you have $160 there on the statement day. If you do this for 6 months to a year on two cards and combine this with a telephone bill or small car note -you can move your credit score from non existent to 700 in a year and 750 in 2 years. Within a year-you will start getting credit card offers of $1000 to $5000 or more. By your 2nd to 3rd year-you can use this credit score to buy a house/get up to $100,000 personal loan or more.
The average American uses their credit to buy clothes, go on vacations, pay bills. Use your credit for business-so that you can make money from it. I see no sense in borrowing money to eat or buy clothes.[/s] A LOT OF BIG BIG LIES THAT I CANT EVEN STRESS TO EDIT...

[s]7) Buy a House and turn it into Money-when I was in University in Nigeria-I was reading Ovation maagzine and in the edition-I saw pictures of Waisu Ayindes (KWAM 1-the Fuji muscian) opulent house in Cananda or USA-I cant remember. They said it was worth about N100 million (that was way back in 1996). I was like wow-this guy has made it o!
The first day I arrived in America -one of the first things i noticed was how the houses looked so much the one I had seen back in 1996 in Ovation. I later came to realise that even a messenger can own a 50 million naira house in America. Have a job with moderate income and good credit-and the house is yours. The secret is the mortagage. It was very easy before 2008-when ANYONE could buy a house,with the 2008 crisis-its a bit more difficult and you need at times up to 10% down payment.
But the point is-buy a house and plan to sell it within a year or 2 or use it for collateral. If you buy a house for $160,000 -you can sell it for up to $200,000 in a few years-the $40,000 is yours. In some areas-it could be more.
Or rather than sell-get a loan on the house (THAT IS IF YOU HAVE A SOUND BUSINESS TO PUT IT INTO) and make profit on the money.
[/s] HOW MANY NIGERIAN STUDENT VISA HOLDER OR VISIT VISA HAS BOUGHT A HOUSE IN AMERICA. WE NEED THE NUMBERS OR THOSE YOU'VE SEEN
Obey The Law
Dont drive without a liencse. Dont over speed. If you obey the law-you are 99.9% sure of not getting into trouble. Bad things sometimes happen to 'good people' and not just black people. Dont be driving and smoking hemp or driving while drunk or beating up your wife of girlfriend.

[s]9) Become a Citizen
If you come here with a migrant visa-you can be a citizen in a few years and you can still keep your Nigerian citizenship.[/s] WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FEW? PLEASE STATE THE YEARS, BE MORE EXPLANATORY

[s]America is still the greatest country in the world. [/s] The things we struggle for in Nigeria are taken for granted here. Buying a car or cars, buying a house etc. Armed robbers are not holding your estate hostage going from house to house, policemen are not waiting for you on the road, NEPA is not taking off the light at will,a rich man is not slapping your face and telling you to do your worst, you dont need connections to get a job......

I love Nigeria and one day I pray that Nigeria gets there-but if you can, come to YANKEE- THAT YANKEE IS A BRAINWASH TO MUMU PEOPLE THAT WILL FALL TO THIS TRAP. make your money and go back if you must.
The one thing we need in Nigeria is order-if order comes, then every other thing will fall in place-the police, light, good roads, true democracy, justice , economic boom for all.

@ OP, Stop misleading people. This your statement ''Its Easy to Succeed in America'' is questionable and must not be alone!

bizibrain: Ok, I hear u.

If mikel av been ur blood-brother, would u av tip yaya.

D only tin wey pain me b say mikel or any Nigeria player may nt get close 2 dis in 2014. Its obvious nw, club performance was d main yardstick.

Story, while Yaya don reach house with CAF award..

CHESSBOARD: EWU the award is the best player not the best scorer..... then goalkeepers and defenders should not be nominated at the first place, Yoruba ppl with their IGBO hatred

[size=20pt]Goal is among what they consider

IF YOU TALK AGAIN, AWON BOYS MA GBA OJUEEEEEEE[/size]

[size=15pt]The single FACT is: MIKEL OBI does not deserve African Footballer Of The Year. Yaya Toure is over 1 million percent better than Mikel in Football both home and away. Wetin Mikel dey play? Yaya is better than him. I don't know why some Nigerians and their skulls are so full of bias and sentiment instead of saying the fact. It is this bias and sentiment that destroys Nigeria and they will still keep shouting Nigeria is not good. Are u making Nigeria good for been bias and sentiment when you knew the truth?[/size]

[size=25pt]Nigerians we need to call a spade a spade..

Mikel doesnt deserve the award, he is not the best player in africa. He is not also the best player in his club, he plays from the bench.

Don't be biased[/size]

bizibrain: ok, may we dey c, its a matter of less dan 14 hours.

[size=25pt]OGA MIKEL JUNIOR, YOUR 14 HOURS NEVER CLOCK YET? ABI I NO TELL YOU SAY NA YAYA TOURE GO WIN AM AGAIN BECAUSE YOUR MIKEL NO EVEN HAVE %50 TO WIN AM

BASKET MOUTH OSHIIII

EYIN BOYS, EGBA OJUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE[/size]

bizibrain: No nid of arguement on dis @ dis late hour, mikel would win d AFOY award, nd if u dont like it, kindly jump in2 d nearest ocean or kiss d nearest live transformer 2 console ur myopic mind.

[size=25pt]BASKET MOUTHM OYA TALK NOW! aBI I NO TELL YOU SEY NA YAYA TOURE GO WIN AM BECAUSE MIKEL NO DESERVE IT. LETS CALL A SPADE A SPADE JOR[/size]

Team of the Year: Enyeama, Fathy, Mehdi, Constant, Mikel, Aboutreika, Yaya, Pitripa: Aubameyang, Emenike, Gyan Coach Keshi

Shankboye: Yaya toure.. No sentiment

Exactly

tlaret24: The following is the basic
criteria:
- The performance of the
player at national and
international levels
- The consistency of his
performance
- His sports achievements
- His charisma and influence
- His popularity
Can mikel confidently beat yaya based on dis?

I doubt it, though i wish for him...

emmasege: He's flying in and out today in Chelsea's Jet. The lad must have been assured and informed confidentially that he's clinching the award. Knowing African players for whom they are, they will never take such risk of flying down except they've been assured.
The question now is this: Is Yaya Toure also coming?. If No, then the winner is already announced!

Keep deceiving yourself, na Yaya go win am

haaaaaaaaaaaa

bizibrain: No nid of arguement on dis @ dis late hour, mikel would win d AFOY award, nd if u dont like it, kindly jump in2 d nearest ocean or kiss d nearest live transformer 2 console ur myopic mind.

Don't worry, i will remind you as soon as they announce Yaya again. Just try buy one tissue paper u'll use cover ur face cos of shame.

nerodenero: It will be injustice on the part of CAF if Mikel John Obi is refused the AFOY. While not trying to discredit Yaya's performance at club level but he wasn't able to replicate such form for his country while Mikel shone like a bright star at the last AFCON. The Chelsea man truly deserves the award.

On what ground did Mikel deserve to win it? On 2 or 3 goals he scored in his entire career at Chelsea? or Midfield creative?

Stop been bias and partial. Mikel did not deserve it than Yaya.

Yaya Toure deserves it than Mikel 100% guarantee and you knew it.

You're just been bias because Mikel is a Nigeria. Na this bias/partial dey kill Nigeria till today when someone that truly deserve a post, but u wont give to the post, una go go give Doctor post to mechanic.

You heard it here first.

The owner of Kuv.co will be shaking head am sure... , if u can be a good friend of patient, i assure u you'll smile with even 5 figure
