How do you know your friends in the US and Canada are doing very well?

Ask him ooooo

Just tired of, my friends, I heard stories..........

chinochizzy:
How much is the cost of the car and what model of car is that? How long are u going to pay for d car

He said he's financing d car and will pay off in 7 years

TheCongo2:
She hasn't tried the Canadian route
I guess she is afraid to embrace the unknown
It isn't easy to leave a familiar territory for an unfamiliar one.
It may require a lot of courage. And once in Canada she will be asking herself why she had spent so much time in the US without papers.
"If I knew then what I know" has been a familiar tune of many people who had crossed from US to Canada.

OP, as I do understand the situation, the only option to fix your status in the US is via marriage.

On the other end, should you decide to move to Canada , you may end up becoming a Canadian resident through the following routes:

1- Refugee Status

2- If the refugee route fail, you can appeal the decision.

3- You can apply for Canadian residence through Humanitarian and compassionate ground any time even when waiting on your refugee application. The fact that you have 2 kids living with you will help in this process as the Canadian government will take into account the best interest of your kids. Been involved in the community such as a church helps as well.

4- If the appeal of your refugee application fails, you have one more chance via a process called "pre-removal risk assessment" . In the process you have a chance to explain to the Canadian government in writing why you think they shouldn't send you back to Nigeria. Once again, the Canadian government takes the best interest of the children very seriously. The fact you have 2 kids will increase your chances

5. You can get married.

On a different note, should you decide to cross into Canada, dont worry about your living arrangement in Canada given that you and the kids will be provided with free room and board by the Canadian government.


Good luck

Good write up.
But do you think the canada route is easy these days?

I've heard a lot of sad stories on that route recently

The OP is too smart than some desperate village dude here.
She replied to a better post.
She ignored unnecessary comments asking nonsense questions.

She's exposed.

Before somebody can come openly don't U know she has tried all her possible best to change her status.

Some are advising to help as if they are mayor.

Some are even advising from their village.

deepchocolate:
Don't get me wrong being a citizen give me numerous opportunities when it comes to get a job and pay the bills etc.... ( which is what 90% of people here do anyway. The system is set up that way . No escape from it ) .

America has its own realities and ramifications . You have to come , Feel it to truly understand . Forget about what people say and what you see on hollywood TV show..

The fact is , for the sake of showing that they have made it in life , many people in the diaspora don't tell the truth .
I am 36 . I spent 20 years here , study here . Have a great career . No complain on that front ...
I might not know it all , but I have seen it or experienced it .

1- here , You are strictly on your own . The system itself have no soul and only care about money .
Your family members have their own bills and wahala to worry about . This is how children here abandon their elderly parents in nursing home and move on with their own life.

2- here , nothing really belong to you . Whatever you think you have , you can lose it anytime.
30 years mortgage . You finish paying . The minute you owe property tax , The municipality will take that house from you and sell it.
Years ago I rented a room to a lady in her 70 who used to own 2 houses. Lost the first one through bankrupcy . Second one due to sickness and she couldn't pay .

If you have big ambitions , Africa is where the untapped opportunities are right now.
The way my brothers kill themselves here working 2 , 3 jobs just to survive and pay bills ,
If they could apply the same energy and a bit of creativity many would have been billionaire in Naija.


As for you friend who is saving $3500 a month , ask him to borrow you $1000 only for emergency. Or 100 even .
You will see his reaction and judge for yourself if he is truly saving that much.

In fact your comment is EOD.
If I'm the OP I will pchat u for advice.

Exactly whats going on in the western world.

I hate when somebody will say I have a friend that save 3,000usd a month
Some will say my cousin bought a house abroad.
They think buying a house abroad is like d way they buy house in nija.
Ask them 500usd they will catch race

truthsayer009:
I have WiFi quite alright, you let me decide if I'm a ghost or not, will ya?

Someone who has lived in US for 4 years & just coming back to a place where nothing works is just catastrophic & she will feel the change and obviously get depressed.

Let her return her kids if possible as someone has advised & stay there to hustle, make money. Dollar is 360 now & it's not going lower than that, people are saving close to 3.5k usd in a single month over there that i know personally.

I'm guessing its because of her kids that she can only save 3k throughout all her stay. The guy who is a citizen and having it hard is probably lazy, i can tell you that for sure.

I hate to see this statement.... Somebody I know.

Saving 3.5k a month after bills.
U are a clone right.

U need to be expose

justwise:
No it will selfless and responsible as a mother to move back to Nigeria with those two young kids before you ruin their future.

Its just only 4yrs so the affect on them moving back to Nigeria is negligible but the longer you stay in US playing hide and seek with the system the difficult it becomes.

I can understand that you want the best for your kids by taking them to US but since it did not workout don't try to sneak in into another country to start afresh illegally all over again.

Save as much as you can and move back your kids will be fine and will have freedom and rest of mind.

At the age of 29 with two kids and a degree certificate you have a better future but not in US living illegally and wasting your years and certificate.

God bless you.

We adviced some said we are teaming up with her village people.
Don't even know she's that young self.
There's still a lot of hope for her.

Can we now see the different between a white man and a black man........

Can a white man sit down and think he wanna save $120,000 from pay cheque?
Can a white man be sleeping for just 5-6hrs daily because of money?
They value their health more better than money cos health is wealth......

See what's happening with African leaders
They will embezzled the whole country money cos of their selfish interest.
See Abacha he stole money and kept it at Swiss bank believing he will live forever.
Swiss govt spent d money and repatriate the leftover.

I used to ask my white collegue at work
Do u wanna be rich to buy everything she will replied by saying no I need good health.

White man will make money and spend roughly almost everything to satisfy themselves and other will surely benefit from it while black man will make money and will hardly spend little from it.

I never say money is not good
Jus live within your reach and be happy

Lots of dudes here that doesn't know how the system works keeps saying stay in the USA.
Some are saying try another western world. Lol
Some are saying move to the Canadian border and some of those that are saying this are also illegal in d USA. It's easier said than done.

The fact is the OP is screwed up.
She need to be very strong in her decision.
Moving to Canadian border is not an advice cos she might be turned down at d border and she will face deportation right away and to move to any other country is capital no.

Dear OP if you have something better to do in nija please go back home.
When there's life there's a lot of hope.
Hard work pays.
Later later those kids can still study abroad in future.
Just avoid deportation.
Life abroad without paper is like he'll
It's boring cos u are not free, no bank account, no access to facilities, no better job Kai.

But if u think nija can't be conducive for you
Please stay put in d USA
Lots of singles and searching in d USA if u are not selective or picky picky.
They won't even mind if u get 8 kids na to just dey put them sabi�

U are a strong man o.
I salute u.

But are you not paying bills?

I'm tired of those people than will come online to attack when they have nothing to offer.
I believe we need people who have something to offer on this thread.

If u think it's exaggeration why cant u just proof him wrong?

As for me I only attack with proof

Mille:
Buhari and Atiku can burn for all I care. The reason I am waiting is just to see if there will be any brouhaha after the elections.

I'm only bothered about Security. Na to just find solar take console myself. Even if na 1.5KVA.

The thousands wey stay back for Germany. How are they faring. Most are into low-level Logistics jobs like Amazon or running from one temp agency to another. In all my sojourn in Europe, I have never met a Nigerian who could comfortably afford to rent a 3 bedroom with a car. Of what purpose is migration if I cannot live a better quality of life than the one I live back home.


Bros, I am not coming to search for job o. The one thing I am thankful of, is that Europe has exposed me to the many opportunities in Nigeria that I couldn't see before.

That's how Canada exposed me to many opportunities in Nigeria. I left nigeria in 2014 with the mentality of living big abroad as if everything is easy over there which i ended up working my ass off with pay cheque which is not even enough to live good.
Fast forward to 2016 I sat myself down and think deeply cos I got a lot of dependant which canada situation can't help or else I will end up ignoring my dependants by not not letting them to know my contacts again.
Here we go April 2016 I decided to leave Canada to Nigeria cos I have a lot of business idea, thou right from the beginning business is in my blood.
When I decided to leave i inform my family about it my brothers, sisters, mom and my friends were all scared and wonder how can I decided such a silly thing to come back to nija. Sometimes self decision is the best. I kept mute I didn't listen until I carried out my plan, booked a one way ticket to nija, landed and the hustle started. Everybody are looking at me like let's see what will end u in Nigeria.

I dont know Why we Nigerians lose hope on our country as if these western world are paradise?

I went back to my business I was doing before I left for canada which is agriculture. I put some money I managed to save on it. Upgrade myself by advertising my products online, travelling around, visiting big big farms for sales cos I'm into poultry and I also sell foreign feed additives such as feed proteins and amino-acids.
These business I have been doing before I left for canada but the mentality of travelling out for greener pasture has eat deep in me, then I didn't work too smart cos I believe abroad is the only option to success.

To cut the long story short
I'm now a owner of a company.
We sale imported feed additives in case a farmer might be interested in buying.

Till today Canada door is still opened for me.
I was there 2 times this year, planning to go again next March thou for visiting online.

All my write up is all true cos I know some might want to quote me wrong. I swear
Some might wonder how come all these happen in 2yrs yes it's God's grace and focus.

Funny enough, a lot of people didn't believe all these till today, some believe I'm into Yahoo thing and even sarz always stop me while driving but when they see evidence they free me cos I'm just 29yrs still very young for face. I swear with my life I have never try that Yahoo Yahoo thing or ritual in my life. God is my witness.



@mile
Nigeria is the best if you have a very good business idea and fund to finance it.

I will never advice who's going for greener pasture abroad not to do it cos not everybody got business idea and everybody can't be a boss.
Some will live all their life on pay cheque while some is destined to be d boss. That's life.

I just joined nairaland cos if catch my attention especially this thread. One love
