Seeing the bolded here, it's either you're lying or you got your figures wrong. $85,000 a year you claimed you were offered translates to more than $7,000 per month. Let's even assume this is before tax. It can't be less than $4,000 per month after tax. So how then would you have $56 left in a month after paying monthly rent of $2,890? This makes no mathematical sense to me.

Well Mr proff/mathematician.
Google the company Robinhood investment company.. I bet you haven't heard of it before. So yeah that's where I got the job offer.
Now I won't break down and do the maths for you but if you live in America, then u should know that you should have deductible from health insurance such and dental and vision and etc. Now with that said you get some amount chunk taken out of ur salary every month excluding tax. Also finally I don't need to explain the rent situation in America so if u no go u no go know. So continue dey think the opposite all I say na best of luck to u.

micxwell:
You mean $4,500??

Yes $4,500

lendahand:
you live in Saskatoon??

I don't live in Canada I live in America.

Okay papi here let me turn the tide now for a bit.
So form my own side let me first of all day I live in America and not Canada. But lately, people have been flooding in from Canada and all part of the world into America.

Infact the Americans now are now scared the rate at which they pull in.
They now call these people sleepers.

Now here is my point. See most people will hear the amount they will be paying you in dollars and you will receive a new job offer and you will be happy not doing proper research.

See I got a job of $85,000 per year last month and I turned it down.
Now here are my reasons for turning it down.
At first I was happy when I got the job offer but when I did my research I found this.

1, the cheapest house rent I could afford was 2,890 per month including light water and Internet. Now if I pay that I only have $56 left from my monthly salary. Now that is the cheapest house. And the worst part is that the house is 30mins drive from my place of work. The houses closeby i.e 50 to 10mins drive away from my work they don't rent it's either air B&B or you buy morguage and it's on the high side. I haven't even talked feeding, gas,phone bill etc. My present job pays me less $45,000 monthly I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and I am okay and I get to save more I live in a small town but very okay. So in summary, America the more u make the more u pay on expenses and we never talk TAXES yet lol.
It's good to be physically mentally and emotionally ready to make it in America.

Deprofessional:


Please break it down. Are you saying men in their 50s don't work in US?

This man is not coming to hustle for papers. He already had one through his wife.

The family wants to be united once again.

Please break it down.

Okay I will try my best to explain to you from my own experience and what I have seen from multiple people not just Nigerians but with other African countries as well i.e Ghana, Kenya serialone etc.

So it's like this firstly if he has crossed the hurdles of getting his greencard which also comes with a work authorization he is entitled to work and pay taxes legally in America.

Now here are the factors to consider.

1 age wise which relates to job. Now unless they reside in a big city where he will be able to get a job immediately he comes into the country firstly they will be plenty discrimination just with the name first so first I will advice he picks one English name now before he relocates and tag it to his name change it will help for him to get a job.
And with the age, they will choose someone in their early 30s before they choose him. But if he lives in a big town then that shouldn't be a problem.
But I will give him one great idea that will help him alot at the end of this my short epistle that will help him with finance heck this hustle saved my life men.... Lol...

2. America u no dey sit-down for one place u are always on the move 24/7 hustle because bills no dey wait for u.
U see that light internet nextfilx Hulu Amazon prime TV apple tv etc it is very entertaining and u must get am like it or not. Insurance etc with bill as month end u must pay if not dem cut u off automatically e no be like 9ja. So u just have to be working to keep up bills so u no go too get time u go dey work see the money u no go too get time for urself.

Also as kids con involve na the culture whole new culture e go take dey years to adapt to am and the food e go affect ur health plenty junk food dey u go dey eat am dey sweet u but na for the future u go pay health wise so make Google be ur best friend when u firat enter this country.
Depending the state u dey go the Cold e bad...
First timer it's the worst experience u will ever get no matter the cold gears u have on. And it took me a long time to get used to the cold and at that age 50 I swear e no go easy.
I did more research on this and the older you get i.e 45 upward if u dey use to warmer climate and you relocate to colder region, the health dey go down a lot but it's only common with west African men migrating to colder region. But I pray its not the portion of this person because I no lie u when u don dey settle which will take u like 5 to 6 years to start settling only then will you start enjoying America.
Also new type of sickness your body never dey used to before. For example, we no get malaria here the mosquitoes here no dey give malaria typhoid etc. We get much type bad types here mostly flu related and food poisoning related. So u go need buckle up when u start transitioning from African to Western food.

Finally I no go advice you because in the next of relocating to America, you go sell all your properties carry the money come here believe me it's of no use because the currency rate when u start buying things here go shock u.. lol ur kidney go cut run leave u when u spend 100$ for just 5 clothes u go buy for 5000 naira for Nigeria.
$1000 na 1 million plus for there abi. U go fear how u go spend $5000 in one day for just one silly thing wain no make sense when u come here
So my advice just carry small u can leave the rest eg lands but u see cars etc sell them but leave ur land just get get ur C of O u good to go cause I learned the hard way.

If I go advice u something if u get like $5000 to $8000 ur own side money they carry am follow body I no go advice u to depend on ur wife when u land here cause believe me the load go heavy. No go use that ideology say I sponsor her aboard now she works. Yes it's okay but try reduce the load for her with this idea I wan give u so.

So here is the idea. If u fit get like minimum $5000 to $9000 us own u carry come here do this so you can be self employed it will help you and your wife and kids. But see no pressure her u find the money when u come here go to a dealership in your town after you don get ur SSN and work authorization use that money go car dealership pick out a new car 2018 to 2023 model any of the above because it comes with warranty get a new car around the range of 25 to 30 thousand dollars car, out that money as down payment register for Uber and door dash and Uber eat as soon as u get approved use that card for ur delivery when I was doing this, I work like 8 hrs daily on a good day I make $150 to $200 on a bad day $80 to $100. Now you can choose what time you want to work and your schedule.
It has many benefits because u get to know the terrain and also from there you start seeing good job vacancies and get a better job that pays much better
So u see with that u will be able to pay monthly the rest of the car payment help with household bills to help your wife and kids. And also foot your own bills too.
And don't go get used cars ooo even if fairly used. I have very good reason for this. So ur car has warranty. Incase u wan change parts, for the next 10 years after purchase you still have warranty for parts full coverage so you drive ur hustle u no go fear say u go service car pay out of pocket B4 2 to 3 years u don pay off the car twice if u like to drive 2 years too much self if u still get hustling spirit but na how u plot ur map matters. Also one quick tip Incase u buy new car no let them cheat u with warranty del dem sabi use style sell u premium u don't need premium. It's same thing they just want to take extra from u so no fall.

So my guy I don too type hand don dey pain me but if u get extra question shoot I dey with u.

Deprofessional:


Would your final judgement be different if the man is 50, and his wife whom he sent to US has stabilized and has invited him and the children to come over?

Well I would say it depends on the both parties and their agreement. But if the man in question is above 50 it's still difficult in some aspects.

I.e work, health, etc but if you want me to break down more I can.
But it is still going to be difficult regardless if the man in question have to work.

Pls wat do mean by under the table jobs?

Undertable jobs simply means you working without the proper authorization therefore, working in very low establishments under the redar i.e working without SSN, work permit and paying tax which could lead to serious consequences if caught by the authorities.

It has lots of disadvantages and it pays way below minimum wage. I.e peanuts, half the required hourly pay.

There are many types of undertable jobs but it works at its own discretion.

Let me add small thing based on my own experience and knowledge as person living here in America.

First your friend might be very very correct just FYI.

see I will not advice anybody not to come to America. But... if you coming here to hustle if u from 40 and below then try ur luck even 49 is too much 35 because to settle here go take u 5 to 6 years if things goes ur way.

If you above 40 then na holidays and vacation or business trips I go advice u to come do for America. I won't even advice anybody to buy properties here if you finally start making some changes to save for future investments.

America no easy as u dey see am most of all if u are a married man with wife and kids back home my advice is just forget it.

Before u go settle down e no easy see to get ur residency self no be beans u go fight for am like say na ur life.
If u think say under table jobs go help you na sorry for u. It will help for only paying your feeding and accomodations u no go fit save pim because na peanuts dem go dey pay u.

I no sy make my guy no try but make him consider him age and health factor first because this America dem dey sick anyhow u no get insurance na die for u.
America sweet only when u come in ur early 20s ND 30s u go fit plan ur self if not e no easy at all like u dey see am. Una go dey see the money na so the money go dey go.
See it takes two members of a household i.e father and mother to be working before you fit dey save small change for ur bank if not na lie because things are cost way cost now due to inflation watin I dey buy $10 around 2021, present today it cost about $22 which is twice the amount and it goes for everything u want to buy in America.

My final judgement is this. If the man is above 40 and he will put himself in debt to relocate to America i.e, borrow from friend family or bank or even sell property then it's not worth it because that man no go get peace all the days him go work work work and nothing much to show for it just my 2 cents.

This use to happen to me back then when I was in school
I still remember like it was yesterday.
Then it comes out at midnight usually 12 am till sun comes u and as soon as I go sit under the sun for a while my skin goes back to normal. The itching all over your body no be here ooo. Na so e go cover all my body and I go dey fear say na attack.
But I guess it's good poising a specific kind of bug that we cook with our vegetables that's the cause and we hardly know.
Na God dey save us e be like I go need do research on this because seeing this along gives me chills when I remember how e dey full all over my body that year.

Merry100:

It might just be a slang. It is not generally used even in the United States.

Dem right

Bia let me enlighten u small I have friends I have helped relocated from the UK to the USA not just one but 6 and all of them dey claim hard men back then I men when they were in Nigeria I dey take style fear them.
When they reach America they go first start with that their rubbish INIT talk dey carry knife for pocket after a few months nobody tell them they all calm down.

Moral of the story
First no use UK compare America for UK ma knife dem dey use rob and stab person. Here na automatic guns dem go use spray person here most times the gun dey scatter the victim body na DNA sample dem dey use identify them. N here I first see how gun shot to the head with Beretta dey look like after splashing everywhere. Believe me I couldn't eat for days.

UK na Lagos state with steady light ND water most especially tht PECKHAM area.
For here once u turn 18 u can walk up to NY gun store and buy guns with ur valid ID. Dem just look am oh 18years oyah choose ur gun to buy..

Do u even read or watch about mass shootings in schools here in America I me
an like secondary schools ooo where u don see am happen for UK?

The gangs here a bloody na international standard.
All be baddest them all around the world na America dem come end.
If dem boys from America pull enter UK base on wahala level them go clear that whole UK in less than a jiffy.
I dey see s e dey play dey show here if u no get mind leave streets way for boys wain sabi for here for America ooo UK na pikin when it comes to gang lands.

We in America we sometimes say.

Them all doing good. Thanks for asking.
A form of exchanging pleasantries

When I was shouting a while back about this nobody was taking it seriously.

This is just the starting phase soon there will be no houses or properties to see but water covering hundreds of miles...
When my prof warned me about this and I made a topic on this on nairaland it wasn't posted on FP and now this..

See I am not a bringer of bad news but we are yet to see way more worst than this in a thousand folds.
If the president doesn't do something about this soon ehn... na world news go dey talk about this issue soon enough.
We are heading for dooms day with the greatest flood ever to cross Africa.

Sometimes I no dey fit sleep for night I dey see the data I dey see the readings it's only going to get worst.

johnog4sure:

Thanks bro

You welcome bro.
See make I tell u something I am a geologist and I went to school here got a master's degree with excess payment for school fees etc.
Ask anybody wain school for America them go tell u watin I dey talk about.
After I graduate, person I know wain relocate here wain be mechanic earns more than I do he makes good pay. Na road side mechanic him be for Nigeria him no go the school na oyinbo men dey come close to am wan learn the guy dey scatter engine put am back most of them oyinbo guys here no fit do am.

johnog4sure:
Sorry I created another Japa thread, the country is not sweet now, One person advice me to learn a skill before travelling, I was thinking auto mechanic, but somebody else said there is no need learning any skills here that when I get there I should enroll in some training institution, get certified before I can even work, While another person said the reason why I should learn from here, is because it is hard to find trainers abroad unlike here and they will charge high even when I find any, So guys living in US, CANADA, Netherlands, Australia(these are the places are most interested in) what is your take on this?

If u learn.mechanic before relocating to America and u good at it u will make good bank big bank

I won't bore you with my words I will just go straight to the facts.

I know they won't post this on the news or anywhere instead the show us big brother 9ja and celebrities gossips.

Presently more than 2000 people have been confirmed dead and still counting this happened in Hawaii just few days ago. Fire tornado storm damaging hundreds of miles killing and destroying as it goes.

If you are in these states please be careful

Kogi state
Edo state
Enugu
Benue state
Lagos state
Rivers state
Anambra state
It has already started but it is just starting it won't be fire but FLOOD. I am not a bringer of bad news but it is imminent for this will surely happen. But we can save lives if we have a good advance state of the art weather monitoring system in Nigeria but instead our leaders prefer looting for selfishness but when it happens they will all get a full dose of it too.

Please let us be guided. For when it comes it will be the size of sky scrapper it will cover whole land mass within a twinkle of an eye. It is not a a prophecy my brothers and sisters it is science and facts I have been studying the data ND pattern and even my professor here in my university is freaking out about this and non of our leaders care untill it is too late.

Please go Google Hawaii fire storm or better yet go on tiktok and watch these videos

Op dey there dey talk travel come America u go question God about your beliefs. U go think say u dey surdom and Gomorrah lol..

Nigeria una even still get small hope when it comes to this matter

Galaxydon1:
everyone believes his or her religion is the best, if Jesus could destroy the world cos of his second coming, what about the innocent kids that died in the flame.. they white gave us Christianity and sold our forefathers as slave, it's high Time we wise up,

I like your insight you are indeed very interlect. Kudos to u and your reasoning.

I don't really know where this should be classified as a topic but, at least I get to shear this so we all can see and get to understand what the future holds for us in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but Nigeria is in for a dooms day and nobody in the top authority all the way to the federal level of government is talking about this and every night when I go to sleep, I always think about it.

It is almost 12am here now in America as I am writing this article and I hope someone who have the ears of president Ahmed Bola Tinubu will someday read this and bring it to the presidents attention before it is too late. I don't want to bore you with any more unnecessary talk so I will get down to my main point which is this...

The splitting of the African continent, that is currently underway. Which is called the EAST AFRICAN RIFT. for those of you who haven't heard about it, it is a divergent tectonic plate boundary where the African Plate is in the process of splitting into two tectonic plates, called the Somali Plate and the Nubian Plate.

I am a geologist and my professor and I was discussing about this some few months back and I have been studying this phenomenon for a while now and it has already started the plague already but we are all carried away with other things like big brother 9ja, celebrities and their gossip life.
Everybody please wake up. The flooding that has been happening all around Nigeria and it's neighboring countries this is the main reason
The rate at which climate change is affecting the ice, water level coming up causing splits in division of a continent.

My fears are this,

The rise in water level which is now causing more inflow of water to land also nobody is talking about the change in tide because we don't study this we don't have a well state of the art weather monitoring system for disaster and as such we are not getting the proper reading on the events as it goes .

My people. I no want out fear for una body but una see as Canada and America Australia dey deal with forest fire Everytime, our own go soon be water and e go bad I just pray and hope it doesn't come to what I am seeing because only God cand safe us then if there is one we can cry to and will answer us when that time comes if nothing is done about it.

Sure thing I go ride on today I go tell una why u need to make sure u take all your vaccinations before you leave 9ja for USA.

I learned the hard way so I decide to shear this with you because experience they say is the best teacher.

Okay so before you leave Nigeria for America, make sure I repeat make sure you take all your vaccinations ooo i.e yellow fever, chicken purse, titanus etc.

Most people only know about the yellow fever vaccine where you get the yellowbook to aid you board the plane for your flight. No it doesn't stop there. Before you leave Nigeria and come here, try and get ur updated medical vaccine and record.
When u come here u must do medical check up either to do medical exams for school sports or physical or for your medical exams for your permanent residency,
They must request for your medical result and if you don't show your update medical result, you will have to go do medical test and take new vaccination shots for all of them and it will cost you more than you will every imagine.

To sum it up in Nigeria to do that vaccinations will not cost you more than 20 thousand naira from a registered hospital and get your updated medical records OR, if you decide to come here before you decide on getting your vaccinations, it will cost you a minimum of $700 to $1200 depending on the state you live so please get yourself updated before you leave...



Make I drop more?😁

Okay this na very educational topic so make I dive in small join..

My own 2cents is this.

It all balls down to you and what and where you see urself in the future. I was once like u in this exact same situation and I made my own decision and I must say it is the best decision I ever took by relocate to the United States.

At first when I came here things wasn't easy hell it isn't still easy but we scale through always and that's life for u.

For me, I didn't only put my self into consideration but I also put that of my unborn children. U decide what u want and go for it..

Me presently I get peace of mind I dey see food eat anything I dey see steady light and water with little stress..

And presently chasing my dreams I am in my 30s as well and I will tell u something, Nigeria failed me to the fact that it was only after I left that country tht I began to see my self worth and a brighter future ahead of me..

I plan to come and invest my talent in Nigeria in probably the next 5 years from now because I want to take over the entertainment industry production to be precise.. as I am presently studying film studies and cinematography big time here will be don in a few years time. This I would never have accomplished in Nigeria so my brother follow ur guts.

I don't think you need to put that on your resume about your deportation because Information is t available outside the turkey immigration database..

If I was you I will only say I have traveled to different countries including Turkey. It isn't required of you by law to disclose that unless if asked by a CBP officer.

MMempire:
