45 MILLION AMERICANS ARE POOR!

https://googleweblight.com/i?u=https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5828974&grqid=UTYfq2au&hl=en-NG

From the article you posted it reads The annual income threshold for being counted as living in poverty was $11,490 last year for a person and $23,550 for a family of four. that is about #8.5 MILLION Naira in Nigeria.. while 70% of Nigerians live less than 2$ per day

Gemc3:
Sorry about your experience. I'm glad that things have turned around for you.

O yeah, thank you very much sir..

Gemc3:
Do you put your grade on your CV?

If your CV is well constructed, you will get some calls

At first yes the later i had to switch, but it was still same old story..

People this days have problem distinguishing between the real facts and made up stuff out of their deluded or ignorant mind they refer to as fact.

Running water not fit to drink? Maybe it’ the borehole water you call running water in Nigeria you are talking about. I drink running water in the US over bottled water for years because doctors here advised drinking tap water (in US) over bottle water. Bottle water is packaged in synthetic rubber material made of chemicals and not natural rubber. Taking bottle water from such plastic all your life exposes you to cancer.

Here in America, people will sue the hell out of the running water corporation for millions of dollars compensations if the water is not safe and makes them sick. I drink running water over bottle water here every day. Mind you my decision is based on doctors advice. American white doctor o. So what do you know.

Some Nigerians here out of their ignorance prefer bottle water over tap water because that’s the mentality that followed them from Nigeria. The same ignorance has been passed on to you by your ignorant Nigerian folks.

Spot on!!!! i don't drink bottle water i only drink running water, i only buy bottle water in case i got visitors.. so many ignorant folks on nairaland..

Pidgin2:
Your own wife swore never to visit your country and you are not ashamed? Say bye bye to your kids in adulthood except you too plan never to return.

With all the food stamps and stuffs you are waving at us, people still live on the streets of America, sleeping in cartons and inside cars, you still have many people living in shelter homes in america and druggies and alchoholics who live outdoors and beg in broad daylight. Unlike your wife I've visited America and almost got duped by a thief because I asked for directions, dude come dey beg me for money. Are those beggars and thieves not American citizens too?

Fact is you got running water which you can't drink because it's unsafe, pay bills for everything you use, all but one of my relatives who claimed to be rich deserted yours truly because of the lies they made up when they came down and they couldn't live up to it, fake lives. If life is so good for you all, why are many of you so stingy? The truth is most of you people living in US are not wealthy but struggling to survive. Just like anywhere else a few are doing fine but majority are struggling.

Taaaa!!! which america did you visit go and seat down jare

With all the food stamps and stuffs you are waving at us, people still live on the streets of America, sleeping in cartons and inside cars, you still have many people living in shelter homes in america and druggies and alchoholics who live outdoors and beg in broad daylight

Beggars, druggie, alcoholics are everywhere you go not only in America. Its even worse in Nigeria.

Fact is you got running water which you can't drink

My running water is far more purer than the eva water you buy in Nigeria, and who told u we dont drink it.

Pay bills for everything you use

Thank Goodness we pay for what we use, in Nigeria we pay for what we dont use, Example i still pay electricity bill in Nigeria and i don,t see the light i am paying for, thats pure scam. In america we pay and use what we pay for its as simple as that

If life is so good for you all, why are many of you so stingy?

Someone can have the whole money on earth and still be stingy its a personal thing.. I have a list of my peeps i send money to every month to hold their side and enjoy

The truth is most of you people living in US are not wealthy but struggling to survive

Its not about being wealthy but having a good quality life is the key, wealthy Nigerians run away just to have good medical services and leave poor peeps like you to suffer..

Just like anywhere else a few are doing fine but majority are struggling.

Case settled

You will surely be due .. Dont try and play the victim game

timesup234:
another one is here! Doctors normally graduates in 2017 with a heavy loan burden of $350,000 that they will spend the rest of their lives paying back. They get paid a peanut of $50,000 annually for between 7-10yrs depending on their practice before they can start earning $200,000 annually. But meanwhile doctors are rated and that is why some doctor still earn below 100kusd. Dont come with that physcian shiit man cos they are even more desperate than other workers, from fear of losing their license to low rating. Guy man dont debate me, nowhere you won pass come, na inside we dey

First and foremost you call $50,000 peanutThats more than 18, 000000 naira a year.. Doctors make nothing less than six digit figure in a year, i make far more than that.. Now i know u are just one senseless youth.. I called my so called bank manager of a brother and sent him your post he was just laughing at you.. Like i told someone my next project is to reveal who is behind your monicker, i know u are jobless with no formal exposure whatsoever and i will reveal it soon.. it will take small time.. change monicker as u want your IP still intact

arena07:
mislead who?or he is only fooling himself,nairalanders are sensible than this dummy embarrassing himself here

chairman my next project is to reveal who is behind his monicker, i have done it twice on nairaland and his case will not be different. it will take small time but i will get him and post his poverty stricken biography here.. stay tuned

happney65:
You are ignorant and something is wrong with you..Comparing America that is 200years ahead of Nigeria to us?Are you in your senses at all?A country that has 247 around the clock power,light,security who's state economy alone is bigger than the whole of Nigeria..Texas alone can buy the whole of Nigeria..Do you know how many Americans are in the list of the world's richest alone?Africa's richest Man Aliko with all his wealth no dey top 100 sef in the world...A country and its citizens that can buy you,your father,mother and your entire generations you dey claim nonesene..Infact you no get any sense at all...I no fit dey talk with an ode and opomu like you...Oloshi

chairman it will suprise you that the OP is still a small kid living with his parents in one remote area without electricity. He come nairaland dey talk trash..

timesup234:
stay glue on this channel man, this is just a warning shot..the real bomb is coming soon. People who have some kind of skills or those who learned a trade are even far better than your so called professionals and registered nurse. The greatest lie of america is go to school and become something. Are you aware that college graduates in their 30's are still living with their parents? Why do you choose to ignore that fact? Comparing your one room that cant even contain a rat to a mansion in vgc? You must be high on cheap drugs

which yeye skill/trade you dey yarn, The most skill and trade in Nigeria is Tailoring, bricklayer, mechanic, re wire, barbing, after few month they will celebrate their freedom, having learnt nothing then they open one small shop to ply their trade.

Are you aware that college graduates in their 30's are still living with their parents?

At 18 u are expected to leave your parents house and go hustle on your own, in Nigeria reverse is the case, person go still dey with hin parent they chop food " mama thank You" at 35 years..

Comparing your one room that cant even contain a rat to a mansion in vgc? You must be high on cheap drugs

for your information i bought a house in VGC and majority of my neighbors are people who live abroad mostly people living in america so which one u dey shout VGC like say na heaven, guy park well no let me change am for you e be like say ur brain wet..

timesup234:
Sorry dear, American visa is nothing. Maybe 20 yrs ago but not in 2017. When someone points this truth counter the topic and not the individual. Can you compare someone doing menial job or even a Registered Nurse in America to a bank manager in Nigeria. Come on let's be frank and honest.

I have read some of your comments and i just laugh at your ignorance. Let me break this Nigeria and america controversy..

I have tasted both sides and i can boldly say America is Far more exceedingly better than Nigeria in terms of quality of life: Good road, great healthcare which our rich men in Nigeria travel to get, surplus food, 24/7 light, no air/noise pollution from Generator, you can travel with no fear of robbers on the road, Excellent school system. My very own elder brother is a bank manager in one of the new generation bank in Nigeria and he tells me how he is surviving,i recently sent him some money. How can u compare a registered nurse and a bank manager in Nigeria my wife is an RN getting paid 37$ an hour do the maths yourself and compare with my elder bro who rings my phone every now and then for money.

I recently took a vacation to Nigeria (Lagos) i was suppose to spend 3 weeks i ran back after 2 weeks because of constant power outage i had to buy 2k for fuel every bloody day, noise almost blocked my ear, Sars almost shot me because i refuse to settle them for no reason they labelled me a yahoo/arm robber, the story is for another day. Everywhere looking so filthy, all these is even enough for someone to run back.

America is not a bed of roses on the other hand, its a land of opportunities only if you are willing to hustle and improve your skill, a first timer might work at walmart, manufacturing company (warehouse) earning between 12$ to 15$ you can add a part time job to earn extra cash, all in all in a week a first timer earns between $450 to 500$ after tax and he lives just like those guys u call big men in Lekki and VGC. Compare side to side a nurse in Nigeria and a nurse in america, a bank manager in Nigeria and a bank manager in america. For you to compare a a menial worker in america to bank manager in Nigeria says it all..

If wee see truth make we talk am Nigeria no be am at all, no dey console yourself with hatred because american embassy deny you visa. stop the beer parlour argument and go do something tangible with your life.

ccollins:
my brother, no be small thing.. here people suffer a lot in Nigeria and one dim-wit is trying to deceive people... ask him if nigerians suffer than typical American citizen.. people like him always hate the truth

Dont mind the idiot, he is just a kid. The suffer i suffer for naija before i bail out ehn, my shirt collar begin tear cos of austerity. But thank God for america.

SpitsOnYoruba:
Ignorant goat
What economy ??
They show you Los Angeles on the T.V and you think America is heaven ??
Have you seen the homeless people sleeping on the streets in Los Angeles or New York ??

Do you know what food stamps is ??
Pick up a book and educate yourself
The continent of North America cannot feed Nigeria and Ghana for just 2 days

*Spits
Your ignorance stinks

Shut the F*** up dimwit, throughout my years in america i have never heard a gun shot before it depends on the location, you only talk about the crime and forget about the larger opportunities in America. Food stamp are for single mums with low income, which the US government allocate every month for food, of which the Nigerian government will never do. Only the economy of California is bigger than some countries.

You better keep shut and keep wallowing in the euphoria of dumbness.

There's no genuine education happening any place in Africa, cause the colonial brainwashing model of education we inherited from Britain and France is not education in the true sense of the word. People are taught how to cram to pass exam, how to speak English or French. The British, France, Spain, Portugal, e.t.c weren't interested in Education in Africa, they were more concerned in teaching their languages in African schools which is why they made English language and French a core part of our school curriculum Africa-wide. They needed to do this so they can communicate us fluently to enhance exploitation. But, this is not education!.

Don't worry, the real education is the one you possess which you can use to solve problems. The education you possess now is exactly what we need to develop in Africa. Paper qualification is still revered in Africa more than real education, because as you noticed our foolish elites and ministries of education remain dumb to realize that whiteman himself doesn't have value for the model of education they left us during colonialism.

All these were explained in details on the link on my signature. Find time to read the part 1 and 2, and you'll understand why we're where we're today.

I couldn't agree more with you sir, the system is in shambles to say the least, all what we do is la cram la pour and that's it just to have a good grade. All what we think is going to school and get a job and sometimes i wonder who create the few jobs out there. Right now the government is not interested in the educational system, rather embezzling is the order of the day. We can keep going on and on but without practical step nothing can be achieved.

You should have known the uni he graduated from. Some uni are so messed up that intelligent people can't make it beyond 2.2
Lecturers. that tell u to write word for word what is in his note, those that give the limited A grade to their gf, those that victimize u when u ask difficult questions in class.
Bro, I believe his story intoto

U just spoke the truth!!!

RVBC:
a very good question! How do you want to give back to Nairalander now that you are made?

I am planning on setting up an IT firm soonest.

tooltip:
Two questions sir

1)I'll appreciate if you throw more light on the kind of visa you used to undertake the course in the USA and if this happened recently
2) I'm aware that getting work or an H1-B visa sponsorship is quite difficult, how were you employed rapidly even with your immigration status?

Thank you for sharing

I won the visa lottery about 4 years ago which made it way easier as a green card holder to get a decent job.
