Fastest way to immigrate to US. Go for a masters degree for 2 years and get a job after. A lot of indians and chinese take that route, which is why their population is not slowing down anytime soon.
Also international students can't take loans for school or borrow $30,000 for the poster above.
Lastly life is a lot easier in America if you come with a skill, have a PhD, best in your class, have millions in the bank, be a doctor, all of that. If not, there is no money distribution kiosk.
Also know people both Nigeria and US, because the people in Nigeria, know the people in US. Its a small world, people that vacation in the US, hardly do they stay in hotels, stay with family, friends, a friend of a friend, some connection sha.
May God help us all |
Just felt I had to chip in here because this post was too harsh.franchasng: lolz you know when someone fails he gets surprised to hear that others are making it big in the same city where he is finding it difficult to succeed.
People fail all the time, all the motivational stories you hear, they talk about failures, its only in Nigeria that all that is acceptable is success, that is not reflective of life.
Okay, I said I have countless number of relatives, as in blood relatives who are American citizens who have lived in the US for over 30yrs, and most have paid off all their housing loans many years ago. Why is it a surprise to you that they are done paying off their housing loan, is it because you couldn't do it and for that anyone that does it is a scammer Mhen, people should beware of going close to failures like this fella cos he will infect them with his failure attitude and life 
What the poster was surprised about and rightly so is the fact that you said they paid off the loans for their houses in 5 years, highly unlikely, maybe if you said 8-10 it would be more believable.
One of my childhood bosom friend just got a house last 2 years for 30yrs mortgage, around $450,000 and he has paid more than $150,000 currently and intend to pay off before the 10th year. Now you are talking, and intend is not the same thing as actually going to pay, life happens.
You lazy nigga only do your 8 or 9hr job and you use the rest of your time to chase panties around the city while your mates are doubling their income through smart legal business ventures because they have the right clique of friends and families like us, so to you its a magic or scam. Is that not the whole point people talk about in America, the truth is people need to realize is people work harder in America than we could imagine. The average American works harder than the average Nigerian, students, politician, banker etc. Also depending on the kind of job a person does, for instance a nurse, work for 8 hrs standing and then you expect the person to still have time to hustle in this streets.Work can and will leave you drained. Work ethic in America is very serious, its not impossible and they pay for your work but don't compare it to Nigeria.
You have earned $1million after living in the states for over 30yrs according to you and you don't know you are a failure And its not about the figures u earned, its about what you have achieved with your income, what are your investment worth after earning so so and so amount Do you blow it on white powder and clubbing around and then get surprised that some others are investing wisely and doubling their income You have never been to America, if anyone listens to you something is wrong with all of you together.
My friend, a guy that only went to US 8yrs ago now have 3 different buildings in top 3 Nigerian cities worth around 150million naira and he also have a thriving business here that earns him more than what he earns as a medical doctor in US. You are dull, stop comparing your failed life with smart people who come from the right family and have the right friends, stop discouraging others not to travel to US just because you didn't succeed in US doesn't mean others are not. This right here is what I keep telling people, the money is STILL to be made in Nigeria, a lot of rich Nigerians in America still make their money in Nigeria. Hustling in America in a vacuum is for the long haul, the American system is built so that immigrants come in and pay their dues. If you can pay your dues, success is assured but you pay your dues. If it is to make insane amount a short amount of time as you are suggesting, Nigeria is the land of opportunities. Observe for yourself.
US is a land of great opportunities, if you couldn't succeed in US, I bet you there is nowhere else on earth a lazy, dull fellow like you can succeed, so thank your stars that you found yourself in US of A because you would have been in your village dungeon picking garbages. The system in the US is very different, to compare succeeding in the US to Nigeria is insane. Will Dangote have been a billionaire in America, worse maybe he will have a pasta factory, if it won't end up being outsourced to china. Nigeria is also a land of opportunities.
I can't compare my life with you because I am sure you maybe as old as my father based on your own words, and I wouldn't wanna start rocking shoulders with you, but if your son becomes quarter successful as I am, you will stop working for the rest of your life and dedicate your life to serving God for giving you a smart successful son like me, oh yeah  Na wa oh, you are very proud, and I don't know, that is not right.
Face the topic because if you dare measure yourself with me, you will not only look like a failure that you have admitted by yourself that you are, but a big one at that because what I have achieved by the special grace of God at my age, is what your entire community will be proud of if anyone from your local government achieved it. Success and failure is not by money. The reason Nigeria is in the state it is is because, the measure of success is money, maybe monetary success you are it, but nobody can say the same about everything else. Do you have a wife and kids that hold you in high regard, have you left a legacy to people in your community. 50 years for now, will any of this your hustle even show face anywhere.
Some materials we need for our company operations currently on sea from Houston to Nigeria will take care of your entire community, so be humble.
You failed in US because you had the wrong friends. You had the wrong mentors. You were not smart enough. You failed in US because you never believed in US, you live in US and you still hate US, it won't favor you. You failed in US because you refused to acquire right education, you refused to equip yourself with the right skills. I studied **** engineering, I didn't relied on my **** engineering degree, I personally equipped myself with other fast selling skills, and today I do more than software engineering graduates can do. You refused to upgrade yourself with the right selling skills, so blame your failure in US on your dull, lazy, brain dead self not on US environment that offer anyone great opportunities to survive faster than anywhere anywhere else. This I completely agree with, my uncle started a business in Nigeria and his manager stole 1 million Naira from him. To do business cross country, even within the same country, google, apple, amazon, you need the right people. It's a huge prayer and because you know the right people and your friends abroad know a (maybe) trustworthy person like you.You don't know what God has done for you.
Nigeria is a land of opportunity se, in US, those skills you are boasting in, a dime a dozen, especially if they are mediocre. May God help us all. US don't favor dull dingbats like you. If you had the right information, the right friends and the right family from the get go, you would have made it big in US and you wouldn't be castigating US because you failed. Can you throw your family to the US, how is someone supposed to have the right family, you cant work towards that. Its either you have it or you don't again, don't be so harsh on others when its obvious a lot of these conditions are out of a person's control.
US have made so many people from all over the world, why only dull failures like you complaining If you think US is bad, then board the next available flight and go back to your hometown where you can make it bigger, stop discouraging others from aiming for greatness just because you failed to make it! Mans was not complaining but was stating facts, you might want someone to paint a rosy picture all the time. But he has thought about it and that is his experience, nothing wrong with that.
Stop discouraging people from traveling to US legally if they can and if they are not earning enough back in Nigeria because no matter what failed Nigerians in US like you say, USA remains a land of great opportunities where dreams are fulfilled faster than anywhere else. Please people travel to the US legally but to call someone failed, someone sharing his life experience, and you have never been to America. For anyone travelling out, consider the pros, the cons, make sure you have a plan.
Be thankful to your maker you ended up in US if not, if you had remained in Nigeria, you would have ended up a homeless man in his own village. He will not have, US is not a miracle worker, it is just a very organized, demanding and rewarding system. Has no bearing on factors in life that makes people to succeed, the right friends, the right time, ideas, etc. God bless you. |
