Just that you over blew it. You are saying 1.1M Americans are being killed yearly. It's not true. We have a lot of Nigerians in the US and we don't see them killed yearly.

But this is not my own info invention sir, This is according to BradyUnited.Org. tho there's a different stat for those shot and killed and those shot who later survive but these are the number of persons shot. you can fast check me and correct me

So you haven't been to America even for a day and you're hyperventilating this much like someone who had spent decades if not century over there? Lol, bank on hearsay from your imaginary people and media? Lol

You downplay the power of Research. Well I really can't blame you, you're not a PhD or even a Masters material to know you can research and even be quiet more Knowledgeable from ur home

Go live in America for a year and come correct my write up if they're wrong, i'll sincerely apologize.

Don't mind the guy. The thing I fear most is gun running in the US.

Anytime I'm going to work in the morning when it's still dark or coming home in the night, I don't joke with prayer and looking around for suspicious move or happening around me

Colleagues and friends have been fatally shot, threatened with gun on highway and home burgled by gun wielding mofo.

A brother, whose apartment complex next to mine was relating how he was begging a burglar not to kill him.

America has a great economy and infrastructure, and freedom, no doubt, but the great nation is losing it for social crisis and gun violence.

Every Nigerian I have met in US have one thing they dread and talk about, that's gun violence.

There are records of Nigerians in the US wasted every year through unprovoked gun violence. One just happened in my city last month, where a Nigerian on delivery business was riddle with bullets.

The only thing I fear in the US is gun violence, which is at epidemic level now. At home, at work, at public places, on highway, on the street, everywhere.

The sad really is that justice is not served, the killer may be in prison for years and later released to live his/her life.

A Nigerian guy I know that was attached by a black guy with gun at his home told me about how vulnerable he felt in the US after the incidence, makes the fear real for me.

When I asked why he didn't report when the guy exited his apartment? He said that the guy will be released after months when he is arrested and jailed and said the guy will definitely come for him in future when something ring in his head towards him.

As for me, a no dey argue with nobody, no dey even do pim, no dey look face-na down a dey look, and no dey do any bit of gragra-not me, as careful as in Nigeria when driving or working down the street at night, which is rare for me.



You really get the point. As much as how good and Economical vibrant America is, a whole lotta thing is wrong with that Country, A whole lot

There are close to a million Nigerians living in America. How many have U heard getting killed because they visited Walmart. How many do U know?

Nigerian Americans are the most successful amongst all Nigerian immigrants. Have U seen a Nigerian in America going to social media to do a lamentation of his life or saying I regret coming to America. It's always Nigerians in UK or Canada doing that nonsense.

Guy leave story. U can't rewrite what everybody knows is a fact. America is a land of opportunity that can never be found anywhere else in the world

It's a country where fresh immigrants off the boat with basic qualifications are getting a job of over 150k per year.
Vivek is the son of Indian immigrants, he's 38 yrs but already worth 800 million dollars. Now he's gunning to be president of USA. Even rishi sunaak made his money in USA, not UK. He only returned to UK for politics.

My advice to all immigrants going to USA. Avoid ghetto areas by all means, don't do drugs, avoid crime, get education and work hard. And don't 4 get the place of prayer.

Trust me the chance of you making it is very high. Yes shit happens, people sleep and they don't wake up. We can't rule that out anywhere but the truth is the positive fat fat outweigh the negative when it comes to America.

The opportunity is just too much and good thing is those opportunities are available to everybody including immigrants. That's what makes America unique.

Your claim Americans are leaving in thousand is just nonsense. People relocate for several reasons. Lots of white people retire in Thailand and Indonesia because it's cheaper and affordable.
If africa gets it's acts together and provide basic infrastructure, control inflation and improve standard of living..white people will also be retiring there too.


I'm glad you understand I'm not downplaying how Good America is and how Beneficial America has been to Migrants and Africans at large. I'm only trying to expose the real truth most people don't know bout America.

And No Sir, my claim of Americans leaving America in large numbers is not nonsense. Why do people migrate "majorly"? Security and Economic reasons

There are reasons some persons from some countries are never denied Visa or better still they enjoy Visa free to many Countries. countries like; Norway, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and in Africa, Seychelles, Mauritius and Botswana. Cuz if your Country has both strong economy and security why would you want to relocate to live elsewhere??

Talking so much nonsense.

America is one of the unsafest places to live, yes. Absolutely.
Saying Americans are running out of America as a result of this is baseless nonsense.
Also saying they're trying to hide this anomally is another nonsense.
Do you think Americans give a damn about keeping low with bullshits?
If imbeciles can be as bold as showing off their desire for same sex relationship publicly, then you think they won't throw dirty secrets into the open.
Which country's citizens have a reputation for calling out their government's bluff, Russia, China or North Korea??
When I see Putin fools come with different narratives to make sure the West is painted darker than darkness I don't take them serious. I see them as jokers with sentiments. Jihadist tow the same lines.
Nelson Mandela learnt a lot from Martin Luther, an African that believed in the American dream...If he were alive today, Putin will be his least inspiration, unlike the idiotic Ramaphosa.
Apart from the African soil, where else do blacks stand a chance of becoming a voice?
you typed all of those nonsense but your family members in the US dont want to return to their motherland.
Yeye dey smell.


Well looks like you're reading it from an Angle of Sentiment. I never downplayed the positive roles of America to Africans and Africa at large

I don't think the 107 are Idiots cuz they read and comprehend what I wrote but you didn't, so who's the Idiot here? There are many opportunities in Maiduguri today both in Business and in Job (I've been there) but why will you reject the offer if you're given one?

1st that page should expose the rotteness in russian system. Rampant corruption, alcohol addiction, homelessness, elderly abuse, weak institutions.
Russia is referred to as Nigeria with snow.

2nd America may have it's problem but can never be compared to any other place on earth. It's a place where am immigrants can come from nothing to become everything. No other country offers such opportunity.

While I sincerely agree with you, but what's the Point when my Life can be taken in a flash? I have to suck every shit anyone throws at me and not react cuz he might kill me. What's the point when I can be killed in a cross fire if I just want to go buy Food at Walmart??

Now assuming someone kill you during the course of arguing, that's a voluntary manslaughter and in 3 years with a good character in prison, the person is out. Again I ask, what's the point?

But keep your stereotypes and stay in your own country. Your not someone Americans would even rock with anyway, you’re very closed minded.


My Bad that you've got comprehension problems. Out of all my Points, you only found fault in just one and there's you typing I know nothing about the US?? people are dying to go to the US? you mean folks from 3rd countries that knows nothing bout the US? go check the stats of Americans that leaves America to live elsewhere yearly even to nearby Mexico.

Well, while you are right with your submission, will the strong institutions and justice bring back the lost life? The US is a place to be , no argument and has lots of opportunities, but the gun violence is too much, with all the good life Israel had, a bitter hateful white mofo just switched him off just like that.

Nigeria is not any better but I will rather try any other country where gun running is not allowed eg UK, Germany, New Zealand etc....

Bro don't you think the Justice system is poor? US is also corrupt and not every case get Justice. Just like Nigeria, you're a step ahead if you're rich. it's even worse if you're Black. Remember that "Onlyfans" lady that killed our Nigerian guy, even with CCTV footage that showed her assaulting the guy couple of times, Do you know she was granted bail and is still walking free today? let's even say Bail means she can still be called or arrested later, With the so called strong justice system, it's over a year now and she's still free.

Nicky Minaj Baby father was sent to jail for sh**ting a 12yr old girl in the face, guess who's a star today??

Pop smoke killers were once caught on Camera vibing and sharing Pizza with all Joy

Those are little of the ones we know o. So where's the strong justice system??

Now, if you were intelligent, Amongst the points I have listed above, you should have pointed out which and which is wrong and then I should submit you some stats.

Making mention of Herdsmen in Nigeria, I never said Nigeria was more better or secured than the USA. But even with ur submission, we know areas in Nigeria that are prone to Herdsmen attack and we can avoid such areas and still be at peace in the City. Now tell me what state in the US is Gun violence free? Even New York, Illinois and other US western states that has strict gun laws still experience violence on a daily. Or na Chicago for Illinois dey very safe

"He alleged Giroux threatened Isaiah Olugbemi at least two other times with a gun this year; once in January and a second time in June."

Looks like he was warned TWICE before being gunned down the third time.

In the US, it's best to AVOID confrontations. Even if you are built like The Rock with the boxing skills of Mike Tyson and the person threatening you looks like Sanyeri. Best thing is still to WALK AWAY.

Call the cops if confrontation is prolonged or you think violence is imminent.

Trying to be a tough guy could get you killed. The US has OVER 21 million depressed people who think life is shiiit. And they ALL have access to GUNS. One small fumble and you get a bullet.

ANY little dispute you have with your neighbour, let Police settle it.

A Nigerian student in 2022 who tried avoiding every means of Confrontation by calling the Cops on his noisy Neighbour got shot 8times when his Neighbour returned from fulfilling Bail conditions

Look if you're japaing to the US, Japa with the mind of relocating to Maiduguri (you might go and not return) or better still, don't live in the Poor communities, meaning travel there having every money you need at ur disposal to live somewhere better and dont manage

When I was quite younger and Inexperienced, with the way American movies and News paint her country to be the best place on Planet Earth, it became my choicest Country and a Country of my dream

Until I got in Contact with this Russian controlled page "In The Now" that exposes the rotten and Dirty secrets America has been hiding away from folks outside America before the page was brought down, my jaw dropped. It's there I got to know;

> Each day you wake up in America, you live in constant fear, esp if you're Black

> Each year, thousands of Americans also Japa from America to live in other countries

> Atleast 312 people are being shot daily in the US (app 1 persons in every 12min)

> Just like in Nigeria, you're not safe at Night as you can be robbed or shot dead

> You don't spend much time in a place of large gathering like Walmart, Clubs or Cinemas, cuz it's not safe as you can be shot dead "mistakenly"

> When people look at you for long, it really might not be in admiration, you should be nervous

> Many Kids and Adults are being kidnapped and with a hopeless likelihood of been found

> A simple n short Argument can cost you ur life (America is the easiest place to be killed mistakenly)

> Being Black leaves you at a Disadvantage when being approached by the Cops as a racist Cop can push you into doing or saying something that can cost you your life

> Police approach you with a safety off Gun in fear cuz he doesn't know if you have a gun or not and "any uneasy body movements" can have him release bullet shots, killing you.

> Your killers can bag a 5 - 10year jail time and be out to live even his best life.

> There's no True Justice in America, Detectives are always looking for evidence even when it's glaring, so don't loose guard by allowing anyone kill u first

> Just like in the Jungle, life in America is a life of kill or be killed. reason why everyone own a Gun

The a10 warthog if I recall is used primarily by the US army for air support. It is one of the best fighters for direct support of infantry

You will observe that the Nigeria army seems to be taking the US approach where every military branch has their own planes and pilots who would be under their direct command.

The us navy has the fa14 tomcat designed for aircraft carriers

The us marines have the harrier jet (vertical take off from vessels)

The army had the huey and warthogs.

So the Airforce will now be basically Useless cuz if the Army now do Air ops, of what use will now be of the Air force in Military operations

She is an Igbo lady that speaks Yoruba.

Why i said so is; Igbo language is the most difficult amongst the 3 major ethnic group, when it comes to spoken language.

Before a non Igbo would be able to speak the language, he or she must have resided in the South East over a period of time.

So forget the way she wrapped a head/hair like a Muslim, she is an Igbo girl.

Na lie jare. If you live amongst Igbo people you'll speak fluently. My mama speaks Igbo fluently by staying with Igbo neighbors in Benue back in the days, she's so good that she even speak ur proverb
