MackyNaija: So basically your New Nigerian passport will be mailed to you in Texas in one week time correct? I'm asking because mine was expedited & was available for pick up the next morning. |

MackyNaija: Just be extra cautious when borrowing money. You don't wanna be stuck in a cycle of paying back debts. When you're unable to pay back those debts they become deliquent and your credit history is severely impacted. You can't do anything in this country with bad credit from renting an apartment, to buying a car plus getting a federal job you really need good credit. Just finished paying over $5000 in Credit Card Debt to Citi Bank, Capital One Bank & Discover Bank. I was paying only the minimum payment every month & came to realise those banks were actually playing me. I was paying almost $200 in Credit Card Interest every month. No wonder the only want you to pay the minimum payment which is only $25/month so in the long run they make more money out of you. 2 Likes |

MackyNaija: I also renewed my Passport at the Nigerian Consulate in Atlanta Georgia around September last year. I paid an extra $60 for expedited processing. So I ended up spending a night at Comfort inn around Market Blvd in Roswell Atlanta. Very Cheap hotel with a Nice Breakfast. I only paid about $80 for the night. I went back to the Consulate the following morning around 10:00 AM and my passport was ready for pick up. I picked up my Passport and headed straight to the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport to catch my flight back to New York City. 2 Likes |

suxes2005: New Zealand actually have a 2 year working permit for citizens of certain countries. But I don't think is available to Citizens of Nigeria. It's very similar to the Australia Subclass 462 Visa. A friend of mine who is a U.S. Citizen actually moved Temporarily to Queensland Australia using the same route. I'm also looking into it as I plan to spend some time overseas. 4 Likes |

FrankNetter: It's that way my Brother. I remember taking Physics, Chemistry, Differential Equation & English during a single semester. Those professors nearly killed me with quizzes, assignment, Tests & Group Presentation. I finally figured my way around I now take 2 easy courses + 2 hard courses every semseter. 2 of those courses must be online while the remaining 2 courses will be in Class. 10 Likes 1 Share |

dustydee: This table you're shaking... Meanwhile I usually use Irish Spring OR Dove. They both work perfectly fine. You should be able to get them from the Grocery Store OR Pharmacy Shop. |

Irenenwaka: Better spend the $18 on amazon & get the soap you need. If you continue converting from Dollar to Naira & vice versa you will never spend any money. I believe you still Fresh off the Boat but with time you will adjust. I used to do same exact thing just like you when I first moved to the United States until I got my first job and started earning in dollars. Just Last Week I wanted to make Egusi Soup but I couldn’t find any stores selling Palm Oil, I had to take the Train to a neighboring city about 45 minutes away before I could find an African Store. I ended up paying almost $18 for a small bottle of palm oil that shouldn’t cost more than #600 in Nigeria. After Buying everything I needed to make Egusi Soup & Beef Stew I ended up spending almost $150. Normally I don’t spend more than $100/month when I Strictly eat American food only during the course of the month. 2 Likes |

Babyvet: 5years - 10 years is more enough time to adjust into the American system. |

justwise: Justwise I have utmost respect for you but I'm not one to let anybody disrespect me including You. If there are any part of story that doesn't add up bring it to attention and I will be more than happy to answer you. But saying someone can forge a United States Passport & a United States Paasport Card is a fallacy. If you understand the consequences of such action which include federal imprisonment, you wouldn't be making such claims. |

Babyvet: If you aren't satisfied with my answers to your questions then get outta here with your bullshit... Heck I'm not even answerable to you but made every effort to answer your questions. But you were only looking for loopholes in my story to discredit me which unfortunately you didn't find. So therefore IDGAF... Go find something else to do with yourself... Bye... |
