[quote author=ozo_emeka]Don't listen to false crap. Julliard is a TOP NOTCH school for the Arts. Oh BTW they support Nigerians as well . SO THIS IS A "WORKABLE" (is that a word?) advice to give. If you train at Julliard, you are considered the BEST.

Really? good luck getting him into Julliard or any of them above mentioned schools without an audition...PHYSICAL AUDITION. Go on youtube and see the crowd that thronge the auditions and see how many they choose? Less than 80 for a whole session. Ode, information is free on the Internet. Use it

royale442: mehn! A bottle of water for 1,500.

Why would a bottle of water be 1,500 (almost $10) when I buy a pack of 24 for $2.99 at Walmart or Kroger? Don't listen to his pack of lies dude
Probably he's drinking Evian water, Which I have no need for. Water is water!
Even vending machines sell water for a dollar! Smh

[quote author=Anyi.]Classic failed attempt at a joke...[/quote]Classic failed attempt at relevance . Go set the P somewhere else....

imperiouxx: And that nowhere Guyana too is better than the US. That's a sign of frustrated victim of US embassy Nigeria. I've been reading lots of crap here.

en! I can't buy food.... en! I can't pay rent because it is $1,500 per month which is equal to N 24,0450 in Nigeria.....dumb

And dem no fit go back Nigeria like say dem plugged dem here. If moving forward is hard, I guess going backward should be the next option.

Word. These people come on here an talk all sorts of things. Yet booking a visa appointment at the US Consulate, Lagos na die! The crowd there every day nko? Where are these people coming from then? Mars?
If you can't cope in America, move back home! Its as simple as that. But don't dissuade people from coming here!!!! Circumstances differ, and I know plenty of Nigerians who have it good here. and they certainly are immigrants.
They want to come to America and live the kind of life they don't dare dream of in Nigeria. Overnight oo

imperiouxx: That's called hating on US for banning Nigeria from DV lottery. I know them by the kind of statement they utter after getting the news.

you got him. This is someone that opened a thread about wanting to go to Guyana! To meet his supposed fiancee wonders shall never end.

imperiouxx: I no dey zombie country too ooo, may be na only em no the land of the living dead.....lolz


He such a funny Nigerian with typical Nigerian mentality.

The guy na clown. Simple sentence, he can't string together. Running Helter skelter, saying non.sense. Shior.

imperiouxx: Na so, I see am oooo. Hear the guy saying America is a dead country. Chei! Ms. Nas, you're a zombie

Me Zombie ke? I dey Ajegunle dey enjoy canal breeze oo! Cos na wetin my guy talk. I no follow you dey land of the dead oo

imperiouxx: [size=15pt]Ta! Stop lying to the public.[/size]

Since you said America is a dead country, have you been to the US before liar?!

Lmaooo! Yaff die

nwanna89: My own opinion:

There are only two things a nigerian can do in the US and have a slight chance of succeeding:

1. Go to school in America, get work authorization, and get a good job. (there is less racial discrimination in employment of highly skilled labor like engineers/doctors)

2. Go into trade. A lot of nigerians especially in texas do this. Trade such as resturant business or african store business.

For anything to work for you, you MUST have work authorization.

I met a young man in a nigerian restaurant in houston, texas. He was working there and had no papers. Therefore, his madam paid him whatever and whenever she wanted. He has a wife and child in nigeria. His mother died, and could not afford to send money back or attend the burial. He too dreamed of a better america. But to be honest, unless he gets lucky, the highest job he will get is a cab driver job.

Number 1 applies to me. I got several job offers as an IT engineer. After a while, I dropped number 1 for number 2. Wholesale african goods imports.

Therefore, my advice to people, if you are not educated enough to land a job in US, DONT move there.
If you cannot obtain work authorization upon arrival, DONT move to america.

Dont envy that your uncle or friend who comes back to nigeria every 5 years with a jeep. All na packaging!

There are better opportunities in Nigeria. If we nigerians living in nigeria work half as much as nigerians living in US, we'll become millionaires.

Exactly. America doesn't recognize foreign credentials. Go to school and get a good degree. Come back here after you get your degree and tell me what it's like.

Chars1289: Well said....
Ms Nas easy ohh..its well..hop al z going on fine ova dere...

I dey jare. How far?

chiboy1928: I can see u have no vision or goals of going to the state who knows u might be in one jungle at ajegunle claming you they yankee cos dat wat u guys do nw am nt suprised!

Coming from someone that opened a thread about going to Guyana! I'm not surprised.

claremont: I think the purpose of this thread is for Nigerians to be able to make informed decisions about travelling to America (or anywhere overseas for that matter). The fact of the matter is that people would still migrate to countries with better living conditions regardless of the amount of hardcore data that shows that not everyone living in these countries are actually living the dream. I also think MOST Nigerians (if not all) who desire to travel abroad are fully aware that one cannot just pick money from the streets, and the majority of Nigerians have the necessary commitment to work hard to achieve their goals.

I'm just an average uncultured Nigerian commoner living the dream in a country that has provided me with what I could only dream of if I was based in Nigeria. I may not be rich or be privileged to have attended the best university, but I'm happy and content to live in a country whereby my future kids have a better chance of a good life. I would rather raise my kids in a country where I get value for what I pay taxes for, than in Nigerian society notorious for endemic corruption.

Thanks a million for this! The Bolded, one thousand likes!!!

[quote author=ozo_emeka]*deep breath*

Ret@rd is spelt that way because if i type it out Nairaland edits it.

I am Couth. It is futile trying to even talk about my school. The only reason I brought that in this thread was to retort some id1ot's comment. Now you don't pay my tuition do you? No one lies about schools, at least not in my reality.

I am American. I am not trying hard. It's like saying you're trying hard to be a woman. So when you say women get emotional are you bashing women?

I adored the strength, culture and will of Nigeria. That is till now I have witnessed actual "Naija reasoning" - I think I fully get the Naija mentality.
Maybe I should stick to interacting with cultured nigerians, because the commoner, his mind is nauseating.[/quote]Yada Yada Yada. Stick to the topic of "enlightening" as you put it and stop the name calling.
I wasn't going on about the way you spelled retar.d but the fact that you have the nerve to call someone who didn't insult you retar.d.
Grow up, man. Get off Nairaland and make something out of yourself.
Why would I wanna pay your tuition?
You adored the strength of Nigerians yet you don't hesitate to throw insults at them. Judging them collectively. IRONY.
Also, who are the Nigerian commoners? Loooooolll I'm a commoner and I'm proud. I'm also sure you aren't one of the elites too. Don't get your knickers in a bunch, man.
Let's not retail the topic of your thread, okay. Lemme seat back and watch.

ojdollars: Be courteous please....

And refusing to disclose my personal info on a public forum is bring discourteous? I seee

chiboy1928: so miss americana for hw long have u been in the state and wat ur purpose of going to the state can u answer dis question?

And I'm obligated to answer you?

[quote author=ozo_emeka]Again, you SAW what you wanted to SEE
Did you READ through or did you just STOP at one line

Did you READ the part where I said "I could scan my id but are you worth it?" (MEANING I WILL NOT GO TO THAT LENGTH TO PROVE TO A LOYOLA C GRAD THAT I AM AN IVY)

DID YOU READ THAT PART? OR IS YOUR BRAIN JUST TOO CLOGGED UP TO SEE?

Did you also read the part where the ret@rd said he can sponsor my education....you know what why do i even bother. If you are too dumb witted to see, you won't .

It's like saying because I don't let racist comments get to me THEREFORE racism does not exist, is that not a FOOLISH claim? Stop projecting your "PERSONAL views" as reality! That is the issue here, separate FACTS from your OPINIONS

IF I CALL A SQUARE A CIRCLE, DOES THAT MAGICALLY MAKE THE SQUARE A CIRCLE? ?? ?
SMH...PLEASE USE YOUR HEAD NOT YOUR HEART NEXT TIME.[/quote] Look at you! Trying so much to be American, while trashing the same country. Where do you get off calling me a blockhead? I'm so many things, but blockhead certainly isn't one of them. If you do half of what I do, your life would be fulfilled and you won't come here on Nairaland whinning. You called some guy a "retar.d", who's the retar
d here?
When life throw lemons at you, make lemonade. You're here in America, make the best of it. Or GTFO and go back to Nigeria.
Last thing, you said you go to an Ivy-League school? Yeah right. You certainly don't sound like someone that goes to a tier-1 school, not to talk of an ivy.
Grow the hell up!
Again, cool it with the name-callling or I'll go hard on you. Both of us might end up being banned. I passed my message across without cursing or calling people names and I expect you to also respect yourself and people around here too. Stop acting uncouth

Originalsly: Was his response directed to you? No...but you quoted him...and went on to answer a question that was not directed to you. So why be upset with me for the very thing you are doing? FYI....this is a public forum and anyone is free to quote and comment on any posting...just like you did. Let's keep it moving.

Just take it easy and let the guy talk for himself. No need bursting an artery defending someone you dunno. Let him come speak for himself, buster
Addition: he's the owner of this thread, and he said things that I don't agree with. I can't see anywhere where I quoted you. Gba ran mi d'eleru

Originalsly: Read again..."From what I know"...key words. He is giving his opinion...how can that make him a liar? Is he not entitled to his opinion? This is a discussion forum...if you disagree with him then let's hear yours instead of popping out of the woodwork ...screaming liar and disappearing under a rock.

Was I quoting you? Mr Defender. Abeg oo, its late in the night. I no get time for Iregbe.
So, Ko rora losun jeje

I was just reading through and I noticed some things. The fact that Ozo-Emeka is so quick to defend himself and calling people names is appalling! Like why would you scan your school ID? E reach that level? Stop trying too hard bro.
Yorubas say: you might see something from the anterior why somebody else sees it from the exterior. Accepted some people don't have it rosy here in America, while some people have it really good. And trust me, I've seen people have it really good here without being shady.
So you're meaning to tell me that every immigrant here will have it tough and wanna move back home at the end of the day? Olohun maje!!
If you come here with tall dreams and you're not ready to do the hard-work that goes with it, then expect to have it bad. If you can persevere, you're good.
And about Americans looking down at Africans....well that's your own opinion. nobody can make me look bad over my own identity. I deliberately speak my pidgin loud and everywhere I go. People ask me to speak it to them. And trust me, i ain't lying. People tell me they like my accent countless of times. If you refuse to be ashamed of yourself, nobody can make you feel bad. I rock my African attires from time to time. I'm proud of my "Africanness". Even if you feel I'm inferior to you, you good. So far you don't talk it to my hearing. If I hear!!!! E Don be for you.
Moral of the story......America is whatever you want it to be for yourself....either good or bad

[quote author=ozo_emeka]I answered your question.

From what I know Blacks see "AFRICANS" (including their "pidgin english" ) in a condescending way. Regardless of what part of "africa" you are from.[/quote]Liar!

samnoah: Axiomatically speaking, when there is a will, there is always a way. The transcript of your interview shows that you have sedulously prepared for it. It just only happen that 3rd of October was not the auspicious moment. Hope your account statement does not contain any mendacious details though? Check that and go back to the embassy and you will be granted your visa with immediate alacrity! Congrats in advance

You go fear Engrish

imperiouxx: He wasn't debating with you, so why are you getting him wrong? Some got it with .. CCC....:..that's indisputable.

Quick question Have you seen legs of a 40 to 50 yrs old born crippled human being before?? Ok, that's the chance.

Well, God will see you through. Amin! Your success story is what gladdens our hearts here. Shikena!

Bolded..... Cele things!

vivysparkles: Babe do you know if WES will agree to call the school or something? Cos apparently they sent the email to a wrong address or something is wrong somewhere?

Lailai I don't think so

vivysparkles: Please who knows what email Wes sends verification to? A friend of mine says her school hasn't received any email from WES, and Wes says they sent the mail since 24th...fax, mail and email the school hasn't received any and she has an October 15 deadline.

The email they send verifications to is the email that the school indicated on the transcript.
Most cases it's the Registrar's email address, as it was in my case.

I will withdraw it well well. No be my money?
My friends and I have once camped in the defunct Cooperative bank when I was in the University. Reason? Semester is over, we wanna go home. They sent money from house for tfare, but since it was those days when bank transactions took 2-3 days, the money didn't come on time.
We just sat there are was telling the tellers to be checking every 10mins if the money has come!
Those people eventually gave us money and told us they will debit our account when the money comes. Cos we refused to leave even when they were about to close!!

fittty: Me too!

E no good oo. No dey take the guy laugh na. Only that the free part is
