Latino's get jobs in the hospitality,construction,agricultural sectors of the economy. This economy has created 5.2million Jobs in the last 4yrs. Illegal Immigrants find it hard to find a Job since 9/11, but they are still doing it. Working as day laborers,landscape workers. They usually get paid "Under the table" and typically do not pay taxes. Eastern Europeans Immigrants work in the cleaning industry. They come and work cleaning walmarts, Target, Banks, and they do babysitting work, and they somehow get by. But every new immigrant community usually find a niche market and dominate that market. It is Capitalism at it best.

Teenage Eastern European girls/women are smuggled in to this country to work in the Escort Industry. They are usually Tall,with blue eyes,and Blondie hair,and there is a market for them here. I am not sure if they are "Sponsored" or "pay as they go". But it is documented that they pay as much as $60,000 to come to the USA. When there is a will, there is always a way!

@Topic

I wonder why people are paying all this monies to come to the USA. Not necessarily Nigerians, but people from all over the world want to come here and have a chance @ the "American Dream". So if Life Abroad is so bad, why aren't people trying and dying to enter Nigeria or many African countries? The line in every American Embassy in this world is full of people that want to come. Go to the Nigerian Embassy in NY, Washington DC and you will see employees sleeping with nothing to do. I must add that they are very rude and hostile to Nigerians too.

@Kola

Whether i can afford it or not, is not relevant.Kola Listen, Clients do not ask for work permits when they call 4 an escorts. They want a service and these women can fill their needs. Usually cost about $150 for 30 Min's of "Full Service". AKolawale you can call them Illegal Immigrants, but i am sure u do not bring in that kind of money in Ibadan.

The trend now is moving to Eastern Europe where Young Teenage girls have been know to fork out as much as $60,000 (Source:United States Justice Department) to come here and work as escorts. They are smuggled in from as far as Russia, and are put to work in Big cities like Las Vegas, NY, LA, Miami ETC. Some of them are sponsored, and have to pay back over years in "Kind" or "CASH". But i am not sure why everyone is crying for these people and calling them crazy, i think it is a wise investment. Some Escorts make as much as $2000 per day. The Chinese people come here and work and make what they spent to get here.
The Chinese, Mexicans, Ecuadorians,Elsalvadorians,Guatemalans,Chileans, all work hard and can make back that money in no time.

@Gospelman

There is nothing wrong with the 1999 Camry LE. I just do not think you can afford it at 1million Naira. The 97 Camry CE/LE Models will cost about $3500-$4000. That is more your price range after you add shipping and clearing. The $ equals N150. Please note: You can not ship a car more than 8yrs old to Nigeria. The 1997 Camry will not be allowed into Nigeria. I hope i have answered all your questions.
AutosRe: Used Cars Wanted by OldGlory1(m): 12:32pm On May 12, 2006
@Gospelman

One Million? That is about $6700. I will advice you go for the 2000/2001 Mazda 626 or the 2000/2001 Mitsubishi Galant. Or maybe the Honda Civic 98/99. Your money is going to determine what you buy. Your options are limited in that price range. But if you able. i will advice you buy the 1997 Toyota Camry, that is if you can afford it.

I trust you will not spend that amount, but there are millions worldwide that will. Recently ICE Agents in Seattle caught stow-aways that were in a Container from China. They had spent $12,000 each to be put in a container in Hong-Kong and shipped to the USA. Mind you it is a 2week journey and you cannot leave the container until it gets offloaded. They ended up being jailed and eventually deported. Many Die, some lose limbs, but all pay mucho dinero $$$$

I am not in the peddling business,if anybody gets denied for a British Visa, there need to go somewhere and collects their thoughts and ask themselves why! It is easy to get. American and Canadian Visas, now that is another story. But there are desperadoes everywhere, and trust me people will spend north of $45,000 for an American or Canadian Visa. Especially now that the Green Card Lottery will soon be abolished, i think the price for a "Hook-Up" US/Canadian Visa will reach well over $50,000.

You will have to be punching a lot of people as punching bags, because there are females i know that are willing to pay more than $20,000 to come here and give birth to their kids, only if they could get a visa.But enough said on this issue, if it was not worth it, people would not spend the money. But it is worth every penny and that is why people do it. Maybe you would not do it Mr Akolawale, but there are Thousands just like you that will, and are doing it. They DIE everyday in the Arizona desert, trying to come across into the US from Countries that are better than Nigeria. Figure that one out!

@Topic(POINT OF CORRECTION)

I never said 3000 POUNDS was chicken change. I said it was a Bargain for a Visa to UK. Please go back and read my Post. Mr Akolowale and his off the wall reading and writing, interpreted that for me. Saying that i said 3000 pounds was chicken change. I said that some people from South America pay as much as $10,000 to cross over the desert by foot to enter the USA from the southern border. I still think that people will pay and have paid up to $45,000 for a Visa to the USA. Infact i know someone in 1997 that paid nearly $18,000 for a Visa to the US and never got it and settled for a Visa to Italy. Where she now is, and still trying to come to the US.

So please i hope this settles the Urban Myth.

We are using it today. E85 in the Midwest. In Brazil more than 75% of vehicles are driven with Ethanol. Solar Panels,wind turbines and more nuclear power plants. In France more than 80% of their electricity is generated with Nuclear power. The future is here.
PoliticsRe: US Oil Worker Killed In Port Harcourt by OldGlory1(m): 6:24pm On May 11, 2006
I hope these people that committed this ugly act are brought to Justice and put to death . I think if this continues we might have to drink our oil. People are moving away from Fossil Fuels to renewable energies. In a few years, i think there will be a lot of unemployed oil workers. Ethanol will replace Gasoline. Ethanol is made from Corn that is produced here in Iowa,Nebraska,New York ETC or from Sugar Cane that is produced in Brazil. This Killing is a Crazy stunt,that i think will backfire on those that are protesting for more oil revenue.It is a sad day for Nigeria! We are acting like Iraqi's and Terrorist.

Kimba

Please read my above post again, i have modified it for you to understand. I said it will cost you about $1400 not $3000 to ship. The 2000 Civic is in very High demand, because Asian Kids use it for racing and "Sup" it up with all sorts of things. But i think you can get it anywhere from $5500-$7000. That should cover the CX,DX,HX,LX, models. Also should accomodate the Hatchback,2door and 4door models. Again these prices are all depending on the miles. I am giving you pricing on a good condition car. Kimba price to ship is always fixed, add another $1400 to ship to Lagos.

Please scan and post your cousin paystub, so that the Tax man Akolowale can scrutinize and then give us feedback. It is stunning how he (Kola) can know how much someone is making all the way from Ibadan. I guess you (Kola) will have to go and apply for a Job at the store, and then work overtime and nights and see if you can take home 1200pounds a month.

AutosRe: Used Cars Wanted by OldGlory1(m): 8:17pm On May 10, 2006
RORO=Roll on Roll Off. Meaning it will not be in a container. Your cost on that depending on where you ship from,will be BTW $1400-$1700.Now the V6 is hard to maintain in Nigerian, because Nigerian Mechanics are not familiar with those Engines in the Honda and Camry. Or they will try to cheat you when you open your hood. It is complicated, i do not want to confuse you. But anyway the V6 means six cylinders and the standard is a 4cylinder. I think the V6 Accord is only Made for the US and Canadian Markets. I do not think Honda Place in Lagos/PH/ABJ sells V6'S or even in Europe. But anyway your cost on the 99 Accord EX(Loaded) will be anywhere between $6300-$8000 Depending on the Miles and condition and where you buy from. The LX model is a base model and the EX model comes with more features standard. As for the 99Camry LE(Loaded) will cost anywhere from $6000-$7500 for the Loaded version.

I hope this info helps you. I shipped a 2002 Ford Explorer Limited Edition for my friend this morning, the car is headed to Lagos and cost me $1500, because it was an SUV and there is a fuel surcharge the shipping companies are adding because of rising oil prices. But budget about $1400 and it takes about 14-21 days to get to Lagos Tincan/Apapa Ports. And from there it is up to you to clear the car through customs.
