stonemasonn:
really? It took me a while to get an interview after numerous applications, infact I got my job from craigslist

Craigslist .. " i comment my reserve".

Suspectzero:
Lol i shouldn't have responded to you initially.
I can tell you are not my level and therefore not on my radar.
I belittle myself by even interacting with you.
Go on with your life. I know we'll never jam.

A diddly-squat talking about levels, you better face your plebeian hustle in Canada than poke nosing in peoples Affairs.
Nairaland is a faceless forum so a simpleton like you will have the prerogative to talk trash and meddle into peoples Business... Numskull!!

[s]

Suspectzero:
How about you free me and focus on your own life?
Lol you all don't want to be confronted with the Elephant in the room.
Na people wey dey cut corners be your role models.
Then you'll have the gall to complain about Nigerian leaders. Useless bunch.

[/s]

What is this one saying .. If you don't have anything meaningful to say go blow whistle.... Baba ode!!

Suspectzero:
It's not tough talk. It's real talk.
Continue deflecting. I'm not hating.
I'm actually glad that you're getting more exposure to what a civilised Country is truly like.
It'd just be a shame if you did it in a way that wouldn't pay you or your fellow Nigerians well in the long run.

Guy you chill naaa.. Shuuu!! Na ur travel? Abeg free the guy and focus on ur own life.. Nonsense..

Samtobh:
Nice write-up OP.
Well, your assertion may not be so true about the class of degree discrimination.
I've applied to more than 500 jobs online with a CV always restructured, well-furnished and updated. Ye, no single invite.I've even veered off my field into some areas I consider can boost one's chances but dear, the same issue keep coming up.
To add up, I have a diploma in computer engineering, learnt HTML/JavaScript/CSS programming, HPLC/GC-MS/AAS analytical methods, and possess a first class degree.
Feb.14th will make it 2 years I did my POP,still in my parent's House.
So, my dear, God blessed you at the appointed time.

Hey bro it's about 3 years since you wrote this I hope you have secured a job?

Kenneth10110:
Please go and watch Saw then come back and update your list

Very cruel movie...

@ EVABLAZE we are patiently waiting for your update. Ride on sir..

EVABLAZE:
Pls let's let this thread flourish.

The intention is to share opportunities and experiences about living in the United States of America which on its own has its challenges and to equally help people who have interest in coming to the USA by providing them the needed tips and answering such questions that would help save them from first time mistakes.
It's not only business people come here to do, good(best) schools are here too.

This thread was never created to mock Nigeria or make you believe Nigeria is the worst.
I wouldn't propagate hate speech.

Let's just stick to helping than condemning.
If I happen to post some contents that are against social laws, once you alert me, I will immediately pull it down, but coming to tell me your networth is annoying. I might have had more than you in Nigeria before leaving, but you will never see me debate that.

Propagating living in Nigeria because you have 500m in the account will only make those who don't have it want to leave even more quickly, and I must tell you, their are just too many of them.



Peace.

you better tell that troll called timesupreloaded or timesup234 to get out of this thread or else he will derail it. Better still report to the Mods.

Welcome to the land of opportunities my brother, stay focused, work smart and pray and every other things shall be added unto you. Keep up the good work..

timesupreloaded:
The reason why Nigerians don't move forward is partly because of pride. I will be personal for once. Serious minded Nigerians abroad contacted me via email almost two years ago around the time I made that post on Instagram and Nairaland. Unlike people like wonlasewonimi, Beautyaddy, NONNYG etc they knew this was not just another clown or talkative. Since then they have benefited from the business ideas and contact I gave them. Meanwhile I didn't task them or demand any penny from them. If you respect me then you earn my trust. Nigeria is a shithole yet every Nigerian abroad wants to invest in Nigeria. Give them 100 million naira and the first thing they will buy is a ticket back to where they all call a shithole. Reasonable people have been reaching out to me because they know there is no limit to the financial prosperity that one can achieve in Nigeria. Instead of that Beautyaddy and Kroger to swallow their pride they are busy paying the mods to ban me and remove all my comments. I have never seen a successful negative thinker..... so tonight I am giving Beautyaddy an offer so we know who is bluffing- tell anyone close to you to contact me via email. All privacy will be respected. The person must live around Delta, Bayelsa, PH, Benin, Lagos or Abuja. I don't even need to meet the person personally, no number is required...I will just give out instruction and direct the person to work somewhere. Make sure the person you choose have a handwork. If the pay for the contract job is 20k I will give the person 40k. Please note I am a builder so you know the kind of person to direct my way. Let's see who is a lunatic

Shut up your stinking mouth there, make me and Beautyaddy swallow our pride and reach out to you?? Reach out kii you there.. You know why i never change am for you since na cos say you dey yarn say u be from waffii, if truly you be from my side then u don fall our hand, u are a disgrace to the Waffi land.. Nobody follow you drag Nigeria, U dey make millions Daily as you claim, good for you, continue to make ur millions and leave people wen wan travel for greener pastures find their way. If person dey make millions for nigeria dem no go gree leave the millions relocate to abroad na. Na when hunger beat man he go find alternative route just like my own story too.

My guy abeg dey your financial lane make i see front abeg, you just dey constitute nuisance for the full Travel section making you look like a dim wit. Keep my name out of your mouth and miss me with your drama... Aramegbo !!!

NumeroUno7:
About sex in the USA. Is it only African Americans who tend to give sex anytime, anywhere or the white babes.

.

nelem:

Bro just keep doing your thing!!! I still have your number when I come to the US I'll get in touch with you SIR!!! for more and more MENTORSHIP

Boss it's been a while, I heard canada is a bit easy to travel to with the right connect. Chat me up let me give u one control.

Beautyaddy:
lol!...Are you seious with this question you asked?

If it's not New York where else?

The Increase of Nigerians that started to increase in the areas like Texas, Maryland and California just happened during the last I want to believe 10 years or so.

New York was the initial State that most Nigerians acclimatized with due to family members they had there that came in the 70s-80s(but never left the US) before now moving to other States.

Wow I didnt know though, we learn everyday. I thought the extreme weather and the hussle and bustle of New York will deter Nigerians from moving there .

What did you do to my man timesup that he hates you with such disdain Abeg of you free am small..

Drenimarcus:
Honestly I thought about this last night before bed. What’s wrong with blacks? Are we cursed or something? Why this selfishness, backbiting or not allowing a fellow brother to grow up the ladder? I read a story about a Zambian guy deported yesterday and I almost shed tears. It sucks.

Take a look at africa as a continent how backward it is.. President staying in power for donkey years doing nothing but looting. The ones we met here whom their ancestors suffered in the hands of the colonial masters, nothing to write home about that's a story for another day. As for me I have given up totally.. No redemption

TheNoble007:
My brother, you are very correct.. Here in New York, it is something else.. It's a pity.. The Carribbeans are even eager to help than your fellow Nigerian.. Nevertheless, If you are seeking for someone to train, please include me.... I am very interested...

So naija still full new york

Drenimarcus:
I don’t think black and unity should be included in same sentence. When blacks think people from Africa are kunta-kunte? When Yoruba and Igbo trying to outdo each other on being the most “woke”. I will rather associate with Hispanics and Whites rather than a fellow black.

Same here. I mostly roll with white folks to expand my horizon.. There is something fundamentally wrong with the black race

Afo1k:
Baba na so e b o... No unity. Most guys still carry that selfish mentality come US oo.

Very foolish mentality.. If you show me the way to get a job it doesnt decrease your income, you only helped a brother out of which u will be rewarded. Personally I know how many people I have helped to get jobs, when I see them doing well it gives me such joy knowing I helped a soul. Honestly we got some good brains out here but selfishness is the order of the day.

MackyNaija:
Here is a post I saw a while back on another thread -



Truly we have a long way to go...

Part of the reasons why I was having a hard time securing an internship was lack of information, I had no idea how to properly present my skills and experiences but that has changed.

Beyond changing that, I made it a personal mission not to allow people suffer unnecessarily - the experiences gained during internships and the money earned could go a long way.

A quick check on linkedin would show that students from Tamuk are doing something right. I have gone beyond that level...
Rendering career advice or sharing your knowledge about issues when clearly the receiver is struggling wouldn't hurt you, the US is toooooo big for someone else to displace you or become richer than you.

I applied for the Gas Turbine job from info a friend gave me that a certain company was hiring and I got the offer. Has it killed him? Hell no.

I interviewed at a sugar refining and a computer hardware company - didn't get the jobs BUT I mentioned it to someone, he applied to one and was sourced for one and with little coaching based on my experiences with those companies, he got fulltime offers from both. How does that take food off my table?
It doesn't, it only gives me one more person I go borrow money from.

I envy the indians, they are excellent at making opening for the kinsmen n women. We all should learn to share information and collaborate, there is too much opportunity in the US to be selfish but even in the midst of the selfishness of some, "las las, all men go still deh alright" - A. Richy, 2017


A friend even called me last week that he has gotten an offer for a software engineer role months before his graduation- starting salary is six 00. I am glad to have one less person to worry about.



Winnings exite me..
Keep pushing, Your time will come.

Hey bro that was my quote a while back.. I work very closely with Indians and I have learnt so much from them. Honesty, information, learning/education and unity within themselves. All these are Alien to the black race. It is very hard to beat unity that is why they have taken over the IT sector in america. On the other hand we Nigerians are something else.. Nobody is willing to show you the way cos they want you to suffer and be beneath them.

The way they take the america thing so serious sometimes I ask myself, no be the same America all of us dey, america no pass like this na. Helping your fellow Nigerian is a problem, show them the small way you took is a problem.. it's so sad how we Nigerians treat each other in America.

I once talked about training people on my field to copy how the Indians operate they labeled me a liar, that the money I claim to be making is false. I kukuma keep quiet to allow them keep hustling day and night while I follow my Indians make 6 figures with ease.

Officialgarri:
We in Nigeria are even very much relaxed and going about our businesss, whereas, People in diaspora are the ones taking up our fight.

All we do here is rant on social media and post naked pictures. Looking for followers like our lives depend on it

God bless you.. I remember the people in diaspora opened a go fund me page for sowore and contributed money for his election campaign. And I was thinking to myself, the people in Nigeria were not bothered despite the fact that they are d ones suffering and smiling.. Pathetic!!

7Alexandre:
I’m thinking about Georgia Tech & Maybe driving three times a week to Columbus, GA for classes at Columbus State University.

Oh ok that's good..

7Alexandre:
No, I’m actually planning to enroll back in college.

The cost of living is too high for me here in Miami.

Which college in GA you want to enroll in.

7Alexandre:
Planning to move to either Roswell OR Alpharetta from Miami by His Grace.

Roswell or sandy springs is your best bet.

7Alexandre:
You’re still living in Atlanta right?

I’m planning to move to either Roswell OR Alpharetta hopefully by Next Year by His Grace.

I still live in ATL. Where are u moving from.

NumeroUno7:
I love Chicago tho. The scenery from Franknetter's Post is fascinating.
During winter the possibility of having a white Christmas is usually high in comparison to other cities (the thought of a white Christmas sends shivers down my spine)
If the city is as bad as its been painted we'd never see anyone living there

Be careful what u wish for . White Christmas comes with a price.

timesup234:
She-devil keep opening new account to report my comments. I am watching you. Why dont u stay in your American lane and leave me with my Nigerian dream

Chai na babe dey deal with you like this all the way from the same america u detest .. See your life .

lionlee216:
Seems you guys are getting it all wrong about Chicago. Chicago is a beautiful place even the south surburbs(dolton inclusive).

It's not that you will be seeing bullet holes in walls, people armed with guns. South Chicago is just like other places with no issues but there are some places that dangerous that you just have to be watchful. Places like 69th st, 79th and 63rd..

Even the 64th and MLK considered the most dangerous block in Chicago is full of project houses where the bad guys live. Even at that, everything they do is at the comfort of their house but when Night comes, that is when trouble starts.. unless it's a gang related issue, they won't rob you in the noon and shoot you.

If it is as bad as people say Chicago is Chiraq, nobody will be on the south side anymore.. the Ghetto side is the Inglewood where shit also happens.

I can never walk in the night. Some people are always lurking arround to look for people to rob. This same south Chicago has CSU, UiC hospital on East Garfield and full of people of various background. North Chicago has the advantage cos I think they have like 3 universities up there but once you dont walk at night, midnight, You are safe. Dont leave stuffs in your car or else people will steal it.

North side, east side, west side, south side, I cannot live in chicago.. First off the cold alone can change your destiny that is even enough for me to decline living in chicago. Someone cannot safely walk at night, always watching your back is a no no for me.. To each his own.

tiptoe1:
Alright. I used to think Chicago as a whole has an high crime rate, but thanks for clarifying.

With the endless opportunities in the US, some set of people still choose to be lazy, nawa o

Its pathetic to say the least, you see immigrants come to the US work hard and live very comfortably.. I came to the US with $50 but today I am very comfortable.. work na lie, go school na lie, behave yourself mbanu, only God knows what these set of people really want.

Typing from my PC on a moutain Top, in an undisclosed location, UTAH

Quiet life is good oooooo

So this night club starts 9.30pm till 6am in the morning. single pays $50 as entrance fee while "couple" pays $40. The club doesnt sell drinks but provides free ICE and POPS(soft drinks). So you got to buy your own drinks to the venue. we bought total of 4 hennessy and 3 Jack Daniels. we entered the club and we got it rolling. the place was full of white like 95%. So this his how it works ;

the club has some private rooms with open doors and windows. so if you are dancing with a lady and she was feeling you, right there on the floor, you will be smooching her. girls were dancing with only G strings ooo... Mehn, Those ladies boobs fresh die. Even the "whiteness" added to the boobs. so you guys will take each other to the open rooms, give her head/get BJ or get laid. whatever works for u guys and people will be passing by and looking at y'all but they wont stay there with u. Some of my friends got BJ from these white ladies and after that, both of you will move on.

By 12.30am, the fee will increase to single $75 and couple $50. by that time, Most white people will be leaving by then then blacks will be falling in. the black ladies will be hanging outside looking for guys to pay for them and take them in. its win win cos you got to pay $50 as a couple instead of $75. i am sincerely tired of my black folks. at 1am, everywhere was so overcrowded and those ladies will be looking for guys with drinks on their table to beg from but they wont want to Bleep with you..

Being a black guy and having a black woman as a wife, i always try to stay positive about black folks but yesterday changed everything about my thoughts.

The whole place was messed up, increased security guys, cursing left and right, infact alot to say. like kroger once said, i dont know why they cant behave and conduct themselves as human beings and i was so hurt when a guy i met there said Arguing with Akata is pointless as they will never see things from your point of view. He said they are just good for sex and nothing else. that was a deep word i swear.(MY POST IS NOT MEANT TO DEMEAN ANYONE BUT BASED ON CONVERSATION WE HAD AND ALSO PART OF MY LIFE EXPERIENCE)

Each rooms has a Tv with erotic shows. Mehn, it was crazy. The money was well worth it..

Got some pictures but i dont know if youtube will allow me to upload them due to its erotic nature but some are decent too...

That was hell of an experience.

Left Kansas 8am sunday and got to Utah 12.07am Monday morning... Its 16hrs drive, very stressful but the views worth it all

Make i go do sight seeing, my flight leaves tomorrow morning.

How on earth did I miss this thread .. Bros I hail you sir.. No be small groove you dey oo. Enjoy urself man cos you cant come and kill yourself. Akata matter is discussion for another day.

timesup234:
When the ban on me is lifted in the travel section. People like Beautyaddy who sent money to the MOD to ban me will pay heavily. A moderate hotel starts from 50 million naira upward. 25 million can't even build a very standard four unit of three bedroom to 100% completion

You see why it is good to have money .. Someone from abroad sent money to the moderator to ban you, chai this is really oppression. Upon all your mouth making you couldn't do anything .. I once told you to face your Bricklayer work jeje to avoid this kind embarrassment you wouldn't listen. See your life now.

Beautyaddy Ugosample

victorjoe:
Oga, so many things were wrong from the very beginning. I think you were even played into marrying her. All that chores she was doing in the beginning was just to trap you. She no sabi anything, not just cooking.

See, for me o, you only have 1 life, you cant afford to be miserable in your marriage. And marriage is to be enjoyed not endured. Send her packing let her go and ply her wickedness and dirty trade elsewhere. Your kids are yours, they will always be with you.

You have tried self. Since her head for don reset if na me.

Most times we are the cause of our problems. You see something very wrong, instead of you to nip it at the bud you allowed it to grow cos of love.

If you do not want to die young, do the needfull. Make she waka!

U too much bros, I for don reset her brain back to factory setting long time. Marriage is just a scam involving both parties if I cant condole your attitude I carry my Kaya waka far.

The truth of the matter is the wife will never change her attitude cos it's her nature, the husband cant change her. The more he tries the more he get frustrated year in year out, life is too short for a woman I dont know from Adam to come give me sleepless nights. The sooner the OP ditch her the better.

ornicus:
You still don't get it do you?

Rosa Parks broke the rules and started off the Civil rights movement.

The fact that it is a rule does not make it right or fair

Now the rule has been broken, the student punished and the real battle will begin

Did the same thing not happen with the law student
Are you not seeing that hijab is now officially allowed in NYSC?

Have you worked in any large private company in Nigeria?

Like I said, go and choke on your bigotry. You are as triggered as those racists during the Civil rights movements. The only offense a hijab provides is to your sensibilities.

You sound half-witted and harebrained..

Speechless ...
