If he has died, what will want to come and do again in this stupid earth?
Over there is better than over here na.

Have you been at the other side before?

I watched the match. I started watching after he got the first card, so I wouldnt be able to say anything to that.

The second card that got him sent off had nothing to do with Mourinho.

He committed a blatant offence by tripping the opponent, and was even acting silly thereafter.

JONSYN7154:
Are you sure that your uncle is a citizen? Because they respect their citizen to the maximum.

They don't deny their citizen and their wives their rights.

Something is wrong somewhere.

Lies.

Nigerians will talk with such audacity and boldness and you will think they know what they are talking about.

Meanwhile, it is all lies !!

360command:
though this applied to a Nigerian girl here in the states. Her American husband died, just 5 months into the marriage. She went through an immigration lawyer, this Nigerian girl has a greencard . In her document, she provided proof of the deceased husband, she also provided court evidence cause she has the right to claim those benefits upon the demise of her husband.

Lawyers are not magician but they work with the law. And it is that law they worked with she was able to get the greencard.

The OP was talking of someone OUTSIDE the US, you were talking about someone who has already been living with her husband INSIDE the United States.

360command:
bro, do not say what you do not know. I reject this. even if the man passes away, she has every right to get that American visa but she has to go through an immigration lawyer to apply for something else under the American immigration law or act.

Stop spreading lies .

You do not understand US immigration law.

You think lawyers are just magician.

Even if the wife is flying to the US, and before she reaches America soil, the husband has passed on, she would be found inadmissible and removed.

You better go and learn about the US immigration law.

It is one of the harshest and unforgiving.

WaleEkun:
She can still get the spousal visa if she follows the procedure and presents required documents. First of all, it would have been advisable to requested for fiancé visa and do a court wedding in the US. Fiancé visa is faster than a marriage visa. The problem with most Nigerians is they don't follow detail instructions. In the documents asked for, they will request for evidence they are married. You will need to provide marriage certificate and probably wedding pictures. Let her check all the requirements and follow/provide all documents. Hopefully, your uncle recovers fully, that should be her priority. While the uncle is recuperating in Nigeria, she needs to make sure her name is on hospital documents etc. That will show they are truly married.

All what you wrote was not correct.

She cannot do anything at this stage.

The game is over. She was banned for life

She needs to be told the truth so as not to waste her money on the so-called agents.

9jaBloke:
Your uncle was brought back to Nigeria from the United States for medical attention



When your uncle makes full recovery, they can visit the embassy together.

Her uncle can only visit the citizen bureau advisory, he cannot be allowed into the visa section .

You do not have the privilege of visiting the visa section as an American. It is strictly on invitation.

That woman can NEVER enter the United States again, even if she has a genuine reason.

It is harsh but that is the United States law

NiceLegs:
Hello everyone.

Please I need you inputs on this.

My Uncle who is a Citizen in USA filed to bring his wife in Nigeria whom he married in 2020 to the United States in that same year 2020.

Luckily after a very long wait time, the USA Embassy in Nigeria called the wife for interview after 2 years in the year 2022.

She went for the interview and was not given the Spousal visa or Green card or whatever they call it

They told her to get more evidence of their marriage as the Visa Officers were not convinced they were married.

They fixed her to come after 2 months from the first interview date.

Before the second interview date, my Uncle in USA fell terribly sick were he could not speak atall.

They could not communicate with themselves at this stage.

She went for the second interview after the two months and was not given visa again.

My Uncle's case got worse that he was even brought back to Nigeria in January 2023.

Now my question is this, in such case, can the wife still get the USA Spousal Visa on her own at this stage?

What can she do to still get the Spousal Visa from here?

My Uncle is still in Nigeria as we speak.

Experienced USA migration experts, what can she do?

The Consular Officer suspected the the marriage was a sham and for immigration purposes only.

I do not know the true state of things and I was not privy to what happened during the interview.

But Sham marriage in the US attracts a lifetime ban.

If it were for any other offences, like misrepresentation, fraud, criminal conviction, health-related etc, she would be given an opportunity to apply for a waiver.

In her case, a waiver will not be issued and as much as I hate to say this, she has been found ineligible for spousal visa under the intent to engage in a sham marriage and the ban is permanent and for a lifetime.

Christistruth03:
Being equal before God doesn’t give everyone the right to sit on the King of Englands Throne

You need to read how the argument started.

You jumped into the argument in the middle and you upended everything.

whitejs:
Depends on king Charles inviting you to sit on the throne. Not something you force. Just like this case.

You know that will never happen.

There is a place for culture.

There is a place for spirituality.

Nigerians always attempt to exaggerate mere mortals beyond comprehension.

Even the Bible says - we are ALL equal before him

Dreal1247:
He is a king and a priest according to the bible book of Revelation 5:10. And it went further to state that we shall reign on earth.

Then, go and attempt to sit on King Charles seat in London.

To currency speculators , days of weeping and gnashing of teeth is so close.

Good day Nlanders!

I'm a graduate of Business Administration, hoping to serve next year, 26 years of age and i really need an input from experienced persons.
i want to learn digital skills but I'm confused on the exact one to venture into citing the skills with high demand in both home and abroad that reeks back bountiful money.
secondly I'm also considering going for masters but also don't know the exact discipline that will be pleasant since i already have BSC in business administration.
I just want to make the best decision on which Career path to follow.


PS : I plan to travel abroad it in few years time as nothing seems to be working here in Nigeria.

Any career that is money-driven never lasts.

You must have a passion for it, then the money will flow afterwards.

janda1:
I'm currently processing my movement to austria

And you wrote with absolute certainty of success for a country you have never been?

Your experience of Austria is not firsthand but through hearsay and other twisted experience of other people.

@everyone this is the reality of Nairaland. Imagine the quality of individual egging the op on to relocate to Austria. Be careful the kind of advice you listen to here.

Is Porto that good ?

If they are good, why were they not topping their group?

I haven't watched them.play

Dotinacircle:
I'm a 24 years old junior software developer working at a it company in nigeria, I don't come here to brag!!!, I only need advice from you guys to be successful more. I don't have girlfriend, I only focus on hustle. I need advice on how make my life better. Advice me like how a father will advice is son?? Thanks very much guys HB in

Your question is too broad based.

Are you asking advice on your career? If yes, we need to know how proficient you are with your stack.

Is it relationship or financial?

Your question needs to be more targeted

janda1:
I swear

He is going to live like a king, Austria is better than Poland now due to currency converter, you will earn and spend in euro and euro now is #1297 and Poland currency is very low

You cant get a date in Poland now but Austria you will get a date this week if you book

https://appointment.bmeia.gv.at/

No need to swear. When a Nigerian starts swearing to God forcibly, we know what it means.

I have had many experience interacting with people who need work
They like to Show their CV and certification which at the end they cant even follow simple instructions right
I wonder how many of them get their qualification?
This nation has a very long way to go no wonder we will even prefer to hire white man to come do work here because of experience.
You people should go and change

Most are not even trainable

Jrevelation:
In my own opinion not yours o

With what you have at hand if it is true that you have those things and you have a daily or weekly that generate income totally to 500k 1mill monthly you have better stay in Naija with good optimistic of making more funds weekly or monthly


Just do what is best for you

This is my opinion am not in position to tell you what to do and no one except you & yourself

Just saying

Are you presently in the US or Canada?

obainojazz:
Japa to Australia… You’ll never regret it

Are you presently in Australia ?

Hello Nlanders..
please I need advice on whether to relocate abroad or stay and invest in Nigeria .
I just graduated from the university and I’ll turn 28 in a few months time.
I come from a very poor family, I sponsored myself through the university as matter of fact I am the first graduate in the family.
I am here to seek advice from experts and enlightened nairalanders.
I have over 50m in real estate and I intend to sell 50% of my properties to raise funds for an online marketplace i intend to launch in Nigeria but I’m having a double mind as there’s no 100% guarantee that the business will succeed…
Since I just graduated from the university, should I rather use 25m to relocate abroad and further my studies or stay in Nigeria and invest the 25m ?
I don’t want to regret selling my properties to relocate abroad for studies.. I don’t even know if 25m would be enough to further my studies in any first world countries since I’ll have no support from family.

So my people, should I japa for studies with 25m or stay an invest in my fatherland?

For those wondering how I made over 50m as a fresh graduate. I didn’t make the money in 1 day or 1 month. I do land banking, crypto trading and farming.

Please Japa to guarantee the future of your kids, like they always say.

Don't you know you will make 10 times the amount you are currently earning in a year just in a month abroad?

Once you finish schooling abroad, you will be working in top organisation abroad, and you will be in serious money.

Within few months, you will build minimum of two skyscrapers in your village.

Anyone that dissuades you is your enemy and do not ever listen to them.

But before you do, I will be interested in your real estate properties. Where is the location and how much do you intend to sell?.
What are the other things you have for sale? I might get you the buyers that will quickly get them off you.

Let us talk business.

FG needs to stop attempting to pay individuals. It will never work in Nigeria and only leads to more corruption.

For any country to do that effectively, her data needs to be robust and solid. Nigeria lacks that.

Any money should be chanelled towards developing infrastructure and stimulating Agriculture which will be transparently disbursed and monitored.

Giving money to CBN staff to disturb to farmers always breeds monumental corruption.

MSN1:
because; thats the fact.
If u are close to a senior professor, ask him/her to tell u their salary.
I bet u don't know the cash, stress and frustration it takes to get to professor evel.
The first day my now late Senior Professor palli told me his salary, i almost weep for him.
That is the money my Dad that dropped out @ pry6 makes in one business trip (for 1 week).

How do u guys even compare variables sef?.

Comparing country where a whole doctors are living from hand to mouth with countries where common labourers are balling hard is insanity and to think u guys don't know, those guys struggled and sweated to make to make their countroes work.
So, u guys want to go there and work in big big offices, Does that makes sense 2 u, going to ride on peoples sweat?

Those doing menial jobs there, live comfortably but the mentality of get ALL at once of Nigerians is what is driving MOST of them nut.

How many level 10 civil servants here can afford to buy even common corolla here?, can that be said of saner climes where small workers get access to the good things in life?.

Please whenever you guys hear pipo moving to saner climes, JUST SAY CONGRATS AND WORK HARDER TO JOIN THEM.
IF U GUYS KNOW WHAT NIGERIA WILL BE IN COMING YEARS, UNA GO FEAR!.

--This country has been sold and anyone that handle the mantle; IS JUST THERE FOR HIS SHARE, IT TAKES COMMON SENSE TO KNOW THIS.

And I can see you have demonstrated that common sense with this your rant.

Well done!

I do NOT think it is envy.

I think it is a case of most people abroad suffering from superiority complex, and sounding insulting to people back home.

Flying plane has not actually added value to anyone. The real value lies exactly in WHAT you are doing anywhere you are - be it Nigeria or overseas.

Owning a passport on its own has never cured poverty!

youngrichnigga:
OP, you nor get extinguisher, triangle etc, talk true

I came on a visit to Nigeria and witnessed it firsthand.

I was not the one even driving.

The FRSC checked the vehicle I was in, everything was in tact but said his plate number was faded, and he would be fined for that. It happened on a State road.

At that time the driver challenged them they were not meant to be on the state road based on the judgement of the High Court and Appeal Court.

Yet they still fined him 3,000 Naira for having faded plate number.

So I wonder why there has been no one that challenged the FRSC in court, based on the earlier court judgement.

If this was to happen in the US, people would make a lot of claims.

studyless123:
The statement that 40% of homes are not on mortgage doesn't necessarily equate to 40% of homeowners is crucial, highlighting a common misunderstanding of statistics. To illustrate this, I know an individual who owns over 10 homes, all without mortgage loans. In many places, Zillow and other companies have been purchasing single family homes. The key point here is that a significant portion of these homes is owned by millionaires, investors, and institutions.

Direct comparisons often overlook the intricacies of labor costs, rendering such arguments flawed. For instance, it's impractical to pay a Nigerian plumber $20/hr and then draw such parallels without considering the disparities in living costs.

The reality is that ordinary Americans are not affluent; they are grappling to meet their basic needs. I'll give you a simple example I got a 2021 Honda CRV for 33k, now I want to get the same latest model for 48k. That's about a 40% increase in cost in just over 3 years. Now how many companies have increased salaries by 10% in the last two years. Few companies have matched this surge with a corresponding 10% salary increase for their employees during the same period.

Year by year, the disposable income of the middle class continues to shrink. The assertion that a $68,000 household income is substantial appears disconnected from the economic challenges faced by many. I wouldn't accept that as a salary even a decade ago. Let's assume my medical and dental insurance costs 1k, car & Insurance 1k, rent 3k. That's 4k without taxes and other expenses. How can I survive?. Contrary to your assumptions, a $68,000 shared household income is far from comfortable, especially considering rising living costs.

It's important to note that assumptions about one's background and perspective can lead to misunderstandings. Having worked across various sectors, including health, hospitality, warehouse, construction, oil and gas, and IT, my experiences provide a nuanced understanding of the economic landscape of the US. I guess you live as a typical Nigeria without engagement with the society.

The bolded says it all, and I AGREE with your submission.

Thanks for being real and honest with your post.

I have picked hole, with facts, in @IbeOkehie argument but he would not just yield.

I repeat the whites are NOT as rich as it appears!

IbeOkehie:
OK, just so I don't leave without addressing your point....what EXACTLY are you trying to get across? Let me look at the title of the thread again.

Why Do Nigerians Think The Whites Are Richer compared to them?

Direct answer - Nigerians think Whites are richer because...they ARE richer!!!

And I've given plenty evidence and explanation, even down to the micro level.

Cheers & Thanks.

I exposed the holes in your explanation, but it is fine, your perspective is your perspective.

Thanks for being civil while the discourse lasted.

IbeOkehie:
None of what you wrote there is really different from what I wrote. OK let's assume 23% of homes are mortgage free, that's still a good number, almost ONE QUARTER of homes and puts paid to the Anti-Japa Crew's claim that everyone is on mortgage. But I think it's actually 40% or above.

You cited AVERAGE INCOME, my figure of $65K was for MEDIAN income, there's a difference.

You've chosen to spin all this to mean what....that the average Nigerian is wealthier than the average White American? No way Sir.

For one thing all the figures we've put up there are for Americans in general. That's why I wrote this, note the bolded:



Oga, there's no way the average Nigerian is wealthier than the average Nigerian diasporan, not to talk of the average White American or British citizen. If after all I've outlined you're still not convinced, that's OK. I've lived in both Nigeria and the USA and I think I have a good idea what is what.

Cheers, always good to chat.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

The bolded is where you were missing it.

The thread is NOT about comparing Nigerian to American or Nigeria to US.

That was the way you were viewing and I have corrected that impression but you did not still pay attention to it.

I have lived in the US and Nigeria as well for many years.

Figures never lie!

You do not have a clue of waht a manager should be.You do not manage the Job, thats is micro managing you instead Manage people.I will use myself as an Example, I am a manger where I work and I have 11 supervisors who intern have 5 person on thier team at a time these are constant anything else is temp.Now we have 4 doctors on our team as the law requires us to do.I manage them all does that mean I now have to have a degree in medical science?I have Electrical Engineers on my team so as structural Engineers, Im only a Fluid Engineer so do I need to have an Elecect Elect to manage those who are Electrical Engineers? Managing people is a whole different set of skills .A Hospital manager does not need to be a doctor. Sometimes yah lot need to chill and think outta the box

Apt and well put!
