Universities in the states have been relying on foreign students for years. It is even worse now since tuition have jumped in some states 20 - 39%!!!!


so if you got the money, of can fake like you do, the U.S. Colleges and Universities ares yours for the take.

It does not play in the United States,

It is so sad that many Nigerians abroad only think of making money by extortion when they come back to naija. Sad

They learn from their colonizer well

Now why would you want that Diingo. You will blow up wiith it. Aint no body gong to accept yo in Afirca so be careful what you wish for. I don't wish the down fall of any people but I do recognise their faults and if there is one thng good about America is ta it strives to perfect itself even though your feelings are hurt Dingo

Americans DO NOT GIVE A FU. C K ABOUT NIGERIANS!!!!!!!!

if they did they would MAKE your Company develop and treat your people better.

Instead all America want is THAT OIL ON THE CHEAP!!!!

they could care less about Africa.

you are a passive a.s.s nigerian, you all talk, while your people suffer.


you will do anything for a naira, y

Taxi drivers in the US make a lot of money and mind you they have access to real cash most of the time not credit card payments and lazy people of course cannot do that. There are people I know that work for at least 18 hours in a day and they are very comfortable.

Even in Nigeria, taxi drivers and bus drivers make so much money that most of them own their own houses and send their kids to good schools.

It is not about perception, it is about reality.

The funny thing is that human beings are usually looking for money where the competition is stiff while overlooking good money making opportunities around them.

They are not fabricating anything, a lot of them make a lot of money.

If you think working 18 hours a day is a quality life, knock yourself out.

Normal Americans do not like working NO MORE than 8 hours a day, MAX!!!!

Having access to ready cash makes Taxi drivers a target, and let's be clear!

Taxi Drivers take more abuse from Drunk White people than anybody.


and when the good weather comes, Taxi Drivers have to work LONGER hours to make a profit.

Europeans are gloating this week. The continent might be struggling with ballooning debts, a faltering euro and national strikes, but when the U.S. House voted in favor of President Barack Obama's health care bill Sunday night, March 21, Europeans seized the moment to thumb their noses at Americans and remind them that they've had pretty good health care for decades.

"On Sunday evening the richest, most powerful country in the world, the USA, finally entered the 20th century. Yes, not the 21st century, but the 20th," read an article published Monday on the popular French news website Rue89.com. The site also posted a copy of TIME's cover from Nov. 24, 2008, showing Obama as a contemporary Franklin D. Roosevelt, below which it placed a cartoon of Obama on the phone to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, saying, "Hi, Nicolas, how's your health?" The Dutch daily De Volkskrant noted that the change was a long time coming: "Where health care was until now a closed privilege, Obama and the Democrats have made it a law," read an article in the paper Monday. "One of the most important differences between America and other industrialized countries has finally been lifted." (See pictures of Obama discussing his health care plan.)

Europeans have long expressed dismay at the fact that millions of Americans have no health insurance, and tales of American suffering are always in the media. One such article appeared in Monday's edition of Le Figaro, France's biggest morning paper, which focused on a young woman who is dying of breast cancer in New York City's Bellevue Hospital because she had no health coverage and didn't get her diagnosis in time. "She might live to see President Obama sign the law, but she won't benefit from it," the article said.

In Europe, voters demand that their governments offer good public services - including decent education and medical care - and regularly vote them out of office when they fail to deliver. Taxes may be slightly higher in Europe, but medical fees are heavily subsidized by governments and are drastically cheaper than they are in the U.S. The French, for example, pay a fixed $30 for a doctor's visit - and proposals to raise that fee even a few cents can ignite national protests. And in most of Europe, insurance companies are barred from rejecting applicants because of pre-existing conditions. (See pictures of immigration in Europe.)

The fundamental difference between Europe and the U.S., Europeans believe, is that Americans regard public services as a bonus rather than a basic right. For some, this is evidence that the American system is deeply flawed. "It was a scandal that the world's richest country for so long offered its citizens such pitiful protection against illness or injury," wrote Gregor Peter Schmitz, Washington correspondent for Der Spiegel on its website Monday. "It seems entirely possible that, in 10 years time, Americans will find it hard to believe that they didn't always have the right to health insurance." (Comment on this story.)

Aside from concern for the well-being of Americans, Europeans had another reason to want to see health care reform pass: Obama's political standing. Obama remains hugely popular in most of the continent, and European papers have treated the health care vote as a measure of the President's ability to push through his other policies. An editorial in Monday's Le Monde newspaper in France, titled simply "A Victory," referred not to the big news in France that day - the left's strong showing in the French regional elections - but to Obama's health care success. The President "succeeded where his predecessors have failed," the paper said, including the deeply unpopular George W. Bush, who it said "abandoned all ambitions on this issue." (See 10 players in health care reform.)

With the health care victory in hand, Europeans will now want Obama to get back to issues more relevant to the continent, Schmitz wrote in Der Spiegel. While American politicians have battled over health care, "every other issue has become a sideshow," he says. "The Afghanistan mission: of marginal interest. Protecting the environment: postponed. Peace in the Middle East: off in the distance. Sanctions against Iran: delayed. Europe: not even worth a trip." Ouch.

watch america crime documentary. I forgot the names of the documentary. When a thief goes into an america shop. What you see this american do is fight back. They sometime over power the thief. This is America for you. And after living here for a way, I have learn to fight back.

sorry people, but religion is a hoax

from the Wall Street Journal

The Greek crisis is getting serious. What started as a problem with the fiscal credibility of one euro-zone state has exposed political fault lines running through the currency bloc. Constructive ambiguity, whereby markets were placated with the belief that unspecified help could be provided to Greece, has given way to confusion. With politicians becoming increasingly entrenched on either side of the Greece-Germany divide, the risks are rising that Greece becomes a big problem for the global financial system.

One measure of the seriousness of the crisis can be found in bond yields—less in Greek bonds, although the 10-year yield climbed to close to 6.5% on Tuesday, but in German Bunds, which at 3.06% are at their lowest yield in around a year and close to the low of 2.9% hit in the depths of the financial crisis. This reflects three forces at work: the flight-to-safety trade, a preference for German fiscal prudence and fears over the potential damage the Greek crisis could inflict on the euro-zone economy and financial system.

Another measure is the response of European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, who has noticeably softened the ECB's hard line on Greece and switched to playing peacemaker. On Tuesday, he said Greece could receive loans from other governments if the euro zone was threatened and suggested the ECB might yet reconsider its collateral rules to allow Greek government debt to remain eligible beyond the end of this year if further ratings downgrades occur. Meanwhile, Dennis Lockhart, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, warned that the Greek crisis could affect the U.S. economy, including via a broad shock to financial markets that could impact the banking system or lead investors to retreat from sovereign debt.

The market is on red alert ahead of a European Union summit at the end of this week. Greece is continuing to demand further support while insisting that it hasn't asked for aid; Germany says aid for Greece isn't on the agenda. What needs to happen is clear: All sides need to cool the debate and—as Mr. Trichet has pleaded—think carefully before opening their mouths. The only real solution is for politicians to focus on the hard decisions needed in all countries to repair the damage caused by the financial crisis and to create conditions for future growth.

But the chances of this happening grow slimmer by the day. Greece's attempts to coerce its European partners may yet pay off in the form of some kind of support in the near term. But any short-term fix may lead to further problems in future, not least the message sent to other highly-indebted countries. Meanwhile the breakdown in trust caused by Greece's behavior risks destabilizing the euro zone at a critical moment, further u

Your country can LEARN from this.







We need that .04 cents to pay for poor peoples healthcare

hmmmm, Morpheus is being a typical Nigerian


attack, attack attack


emotive, emotive, emotive


with misinformation from mis-informed people


and regurgitating erroneous information from unreliable sources and using them as fact.

typical nigerian

And it is funny, because many Nigerians, especially in the Washington DC area and Houston area are quite wealthy. We Nigerians in the United States are doing well. However, I am glad, that my parents sent me back in forth from Nigeria and the United States. You get to see the best of both worlds.

This is the PROBLEM.

These people are DOING NOTHING for the Nigerians in Nigeria.

They just left their country and TOOK THEIR BRAIN with them. They turned their backs on their country for their OWN SELFISH AIMS.

So when these successful Nigerians say they are from Nigeria, They get looks like,

and unfortunate words about what about your country?

Then these Nigerians fell like

*****************

LEAVING Nigeria and not forming a Action Group to UPLIFT NIGERIA is individualist greed.

It is rooted in shame and lack of Pride in Nigeria.

********************

The diaspora Nigerians can change this , if they REALLY wanted to.

Religion was CREATED to keep the people passive.

AND

Priest told the Pharohs that they would live forever.

Can you imagine being Pharoh and dying,

The SUN used to be God

Religion started in Egypt, the Middle East and spread from there.


If you study where Religion come from INSTEAD of believing with your heart, you will be better off.

Religion is a comfort zone, but what comfort are you grateful for?

Life is suppose to be soooooo much more.
