S. Africa has over 4 million.

oboy to travel go europe dy hungry me especially during winter bruh but na turn by turn sha and europe is just beautiful especially north and east europe

I get there one day, soon hopefully.

AlphaStyles:
you need to see the pics of iceland omg its such a beautiful country especially during winter its just magnificent

There are many places in Europe I would like to visit, never been there. I have Niece who lives in Germany, she married a guy there. They live in a very nice small university town. She likes it a lot.

Nice I like it, good looking girls also.

SoapQueen:
Greece..I know more about the country than Nigeria.

There are some nice places there and some nice islands also.

AlphaStyles:
Greenland,iceland,faroe islands and possibilly the whole of europe lolz and japan especially okinawa and tokyo

A lot of people mention Iceland. I think there is some sort Northern lights or something relative to sunset. Probably very interesting to see.

So this would apply to any elected official?

ApexTitan:
That's true but Nigerians who hold conservative values in North America are the obscure minority. The default black orientation is liberal and it has been so for many decades now.

Technically Liberal means liberty or freedom. Nigerian Americans can do anything. The left are not for for freedom or liberty. Nigerians understand this.

ApexTitan:
All this talk of oppression and victimization of blacks in 2018 never fail to amaze me.

It is granted that blacks and minorities suffered horrible atrocities in the past but anyone who continues to accept that as the reason why they are underperforming in key success areas today is adopting the convenient and preposterous position that has gained the upper hand in many circles today.

While we are busy playing victim and victimizer in America, Asian immigrants are excelling, even more than whites, under the very same system that we lament about. I wonder why. But there's no time to reason out why this is the case, time is better spent organizing the next protest and demonstration. Eff the Donald! Eff the popo! Antifa power! BLM power, LBGTQYZ power

Americans care about illegal immigration, not legal immigration. Nigerians are conservative also.

Backfornow:
Well friend, this is the exact mentality that America has been using for centuries when it comes to non-whites.

With that, I will bid you good night.

There is no comparison between Mexico and the USA, none. Non whites literally die trying to get into the USA. BTW almost nobody is "white". There was no immigration laws in the USA until 1924. So "centuries" is bull shit.

Backfornow:
Well friend, this is the exact mentality that America has been using for centuries when it comes to non-whites.

With that, I will bid you good night.

What? Even Irish, Greeks, Hungarians, Slavs were non whites lol. USA changed post WWll. Most of USA was self segregated due to religion and country of origin. The Interstate Highway system, robust economy, invention of the Suburb changed all of it. USA is a young country.

Backfornow:
Im not talking about caste systems. I am talking about systematic oppression. Native Americans have been oppressed here, black americans, and mexicans. All of which America has benefited greatly from their lands, and human resources at their disadvantage.
My point about Mexico, is that what is known as southwest America belonged to Mexico originally and is not being told like most of the negative American history.

And Mexico was another Euro tribe, Spanish so what. USA is vastly superior to any upward mobility than any C. Latin or S. American country.

Backfornow:
Nope, it started out as VERY intentional. Not to just blacks but all minorities. We all know what was done to the Native Americans but no one talks about how Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Texas was forced from Mexicio. America has had a long history of treating minorities very poorly. Whether or not if it is still intentional is debateable. Those deep seated feelings of hatred and entitlement didnt just vanquish in the air. However, I do believe that at some point a person's willpower and determination must be stronger than the perceived adversary. That has served me and many others very well here.

Mexico still has a caste system. USA no.

Dremca:
This is exactly the answers am seeking. Are these situations intentional to make the black disadvantaged.

It happened when LBJ great society was created.

Collarbone.

Chapecoense:
Right... Thank you for this, another thing is the Pilot shortage in the US. No airline will deny a qualified Pilot a job especially when the Pilot has the legal right to work..

Canada lets in Foreign pilots also. Some E. Euro pilot at Sunwing got canned though recently. He was drunk in the cockpit and passed out LOL. Sunwing services the Caribbean.

Chapecoense:
Right... Thank you for this, another thing is the Pilot shortage in the US. No airline will deny a qualified Pilot a job especially when the Pilot has the legal right to work..

Correct. Surely they put on the application they have a job offer, if they have the hours qualification they can fly immediately. And that is for a Foreigner. So if someone is already in the USA with a green card they can fly also.

Chapecoense:
I see your point, I still think as long as you dont have any criminal records and your DMV record is good, They wont deny you a Job because you haven't been in the US for 10years lol. A green card holder has the right to work anywhere except those jobs that requires top security clearance, NASA, Officer jobs etc.. A Green card holder who wants to be a pilot will still be subjected to the regular Criminal and driving background check, have the class 1 medical and hold the required certificates and minimum number of flight hours... Can you specifically tell me anyone (non citizen with a gren card) that has been denied a Job in the aviation industry because he/she hasnt been in the US for 10 years?

Green card residents can fly and do in the USA.


I have received an invitation to work with one of US regional's airlines as a captain, that was not something that US airline used to do, but nowadays because of the shortage they are sponsoring the visa processes for some cases
I have flown the Boeing 737-300 to 737-800 for at least 21 years (about 15,000 hrs on the type) and I have about 3,200 hrs on Twin Otter
Believe it or not, the salary that has been suggested by the US-based airline is not even half of what I get in the middle east, get your self a work in south-east Asia or middle east and stay away from China.

I see. So you'd most likely come here as an Aussie on an E3 visa ?

I bet any regional would be quite happy to get you. If you have no FAA Part 121 experience, you'd have to knock out 1,000 hours of it before you could be employed as a captain:

"Reported" to have said by a source. The topic was people on Temporary Protected Status. Both Haitians and El Salvadorans are suing the government so they don't have to go back to those countries. My guess is their lawyers have to prove those are shithole countries in order to stay.

spawnx:
Reminds me of the movie "Vertical limit"

Good movie, so was Cliff Hanger.

DonFreshmoney:
Guy lie small small.. you know an American guy, his son died 30 years ago? You must be an ancestor then

? Why would I be an ancestor? He is a retired lawyer and sits in the same section as me at Football games.

If someone did a thread in this sometime ago my apologies.

The peak of Everest is 29,000 Feet, an Airliner cruises at 35,000.

The climate of Mount Everest is naturally extreme. In January, the coldest month, the summit temperature averages about -36° C (about -33° F) and can drop as low as -60° C (-76° F). In July, the warmest month, the average summit temperature is -19° C (-2° F).

The Bodies Of Dead Climbers On Everest Are Serving As Guideposts

There have been over 200 climbing deaths on Mount Everest and many of the bodies remain at the mountain to serve as a grave reminder for those who follow.

Standard protocol is just to leave the dead where they died, and so these corpses remain to spend eternity on the mountaintop, serving as a warning to climbers as well as gruesome mile markers.

One of the most famous corpses, known as “Green Boots” was passed by almost every climber to reach the death zone. The identity of Green Boots is highly contested, but it is most widely believed that it is Tsewang Paljor, an Indian climber who died in 1996.

she died at an altitude of around 13,125 ft on the mountain.
But

A rescue team brought mountaineer Elena Basykina's remains down from 18,510 ft Mount Elbrus in southern Russia.
Did the body moved up?

Maybe a typo mistake or something.

The advice to follow the student visa thread is good. Also studly online about H1B work visas. Find out which industries and employers in the USA sponsor H1B visas. They can be for technical Information Tech jobs or working in a Restaurant. An an example Trump's Mar a Lago country club restaurant hires foreign workers. Get on facebook and see if there is a Nigerian group for Nigerians working in the USA on these visas.

I know an American guy who had a son snow skiing in Europe. Swiss alps or something. The son went off of a cliff, body never recovered to this day. Happened about 30 years ago.

Whichever airline you might anticipate flying more with in the future, to build up rewards points frequent flyer miles.

Happens somewhat frequently at Everest also.
