The information I'm sharing isn't for you so, kindly read and move on.

You are comfortable with Nigeria, live it on.

Thanks..

Natjojo:

People criticizing her should travel and see.

When you travel then you will get to realize that getting document is more important than dollars.

You will get to realize the reason why non gay agree to be one even when they are not.

Nigeria police ask for money, advanced countries will kindly ask you. Please can I see your ID?

I think anyone above 25yrs and above, with high responsibility should not travel abroad hoping is gonna be better over there.

Reasons:

You can't do anything useful with your life and time without been granted asylum recognition.

Getting asylum recognition to be able to integrate into the society takes between 1 to infinity years. Depending on your story.

You can do illegal jobs but that's like living from hand to mouth, never enough to pay bills, talk of taking care of your self or sending home. Do drug's or fraud or any form of criminal act then you have the rest of your life to regret because before you climb that ladder of becoming the next Pablo Escobar or hush, remember you have a space in the prison yard and a special jet waiting to deport you the moment you finish doing your time and if you don't get deported only miracle will help you succeeded.


Is better to travel younger if you intend staying for long.

Apply for asylum,
Get ready to prove that you need protection as an asylum seeker unable to prove it, you will be recognized as an economic immigrant and your welcome is over.
It will take you till God knows when to keep paying lawyers to fight for your document.

The best way to avoid all this stress and frustration is to face Nigeria because the moment you bord that plane and leave Africa continent and don't return in 6months, the shame, criticism,sadness and failure will never let you return, no matter how hard it is, shame if not making will never let you return home.

People in Nigeria should also take note of this, not that those abroad Don't want to return but they are afraid that you will gossip, criticize, judge and blem them for their failures. Many wish they could return but the moment they remember that we at home will shame them they prefer to keep trying rather than face your criticism like many of us here have done to the little girl.

They don't want to return is not because of 24hrs electricity, not because of dollars, not because of good life because is hard to have one, not because they see chances but because they think they have failed.

BigIyanga:

Keep deceiving yourself. Tinubu started in Chicago.. and still has friends and families here.
Peter Obi got rich with business deals his company formed with US companies like Heinz, Kraft, Wrangler, Anheizer Busch etal
Osibanjo kid attended school here. Dangote used to live in ATL.. His transport division used to powered by US International and Freightliner..
Tony Elumelu has Heirs Holdings Business in US.
All our Naija elite/politrickisns have US connect..
keep clapping for them while they move businesses and connect to US

Asour:


They can chase both actually.

A man doesn't have to feed his children OR send them to school. He can do both.

BigIyanga:


What things? Minimum wage in Chicago is $15/hr while in Naija is $45/month. What u make in 3hrs in Chicago is what you make in a month in Naija.
Also, if you’re traveling to hustle dont go with ur whole family.. let the man go first, get settled and then bring the whole family.

Comrade use violence speak sense into that gal abeg, them go dey follow akata wey her only problem na to control her libido dey talk nonsense.

A Nigerian lady, Ajibola Elisabeth Junaid from Oyo State narrates how she migrated with her family members to the United States in search of greener pastures. Her family settled in Chicago, as they were all asylum seekers. It did not take long for her to discover that hardly does the American dream exist for minorities or people of colour.

She described America as a reality of racism, poverty, food insecurity and gun violence.

She is a senior student at Wendell Phillips Academy High School.

Her narration below:

SARSCoV2:


Easier said than done.

What life can you get with $15/hr job? You still will be struggling with that amount.

SARSCoV2:



Everything that girl wrote up there is not a lie, except you want to ignore the truth and choose to attack her. That area she grew up is a poverty and murder enclave. Immigrants are not even in the frontlines of crime committed in that area. Its citizens against citizens.

And its a good write-up to educate people about neighborhoods they should stay away from irrespective of the cheap rent.

Lifepia:


I hate the fact that ignorant people will come on the web and be quoting the equivalent of how much they make in the US compared to Nigeria. Do you also pay your US rent and bills in Naira?

SARSCoV2:


Gosh,darling,from what I have been reading here,I'm worried about my young cousin.

She just had a baby and her mum went to see her this month.she and her husband,they live in Chicago.Her mum is in early 60s.

Darling,what other peaceful states can they relocate to?


South Chicago is a poverty, gang and car jacking enclave. Its summer already and all hell will be let lose. Very few sane people reside in hat axis.

No single week passes without someone being shot to death.

This week alone

Brandon Foley
Bruce O`Neal
Rashaun Johnson
Fred Boerma
Anthony Allen
Antonio Wade


All shot to death

And more people will be shot to death this week. Its a constant.

learner007:


Did you follow her quote? Her quote is not about neighborhood. South side Chicago is a slum, just as places in Detroit, The Bronx, Ijora, Ajegunle.

But make you come open your dirty mouth say American dream is hard for you based on color. She dey mad! Shey you want make I name many of my friends from Mushin, Agbado, Ajegunle, Bariga, Shomolu etc that are working as tech professionals (cyber security, data science, networking, MBA) with McKinsey, Amazon, Google, PWC, JPMorgan? Some are even lecturers.

Gun violence is real, but no where death and poverty no dey. No be that same Ibadan Sunday Igboho dey chase Fulani terrorists up and down? Na small pikin dey worry that girl. In America, plenty bad things dey, including GAY rights. But the only thing wey go stop you na you. Even my Indian and Chinese friends know say naija no dey carry last. That small girl don turn akata.

aragonchuks:
hahaha e be like you just arrive America , just know that people been dey america before you come ,hahaha going through your profile you just come so e still d chak you for body … few years more make we see if you no go miss Nigeria

nijanigga:

I was thinking same thing, I lived for few days on south side of Chicago, N Clarendon Avenue Back then a one bedroom apartment cost $2k a month and taste of Chicago ,annual festival was really fun ,but now all those things are gone ,lots of people who have the means are fleeing Chicago.
Starting a new life even for those born in US is hard ,talkless of coming from naija

PeaceJoyLove:
I just keep wondering why some people hate the US so much.

If America leaves the "world leader" position today, the new leader may be a real terror. To lead isnt easy. Yes, the US has its shortcomings, but not at bad as many of you are portraying it.

Most of those people bittered have been refused visa many times or banned from the nation. But there are still some who have been refused many times, but are still trying. Really, why the hate towards the US.

If you enter the US legally and attend school there, nothing stops you from making it. The place is filled with opportunities.

Yes, and yes, the US has it's own shortcomings, but the nation is still very ok. And I know that very soon, they will get rid of those senators profiting from sales of guns.

Without the US, we wont really be exposed like this. The US is where many free gifts are directed towards poor nations. Free learning platforms, free this...free that....yet, we keep hating the nation. The US is not the reason Nigeria is a terrible nation.

lionlee216:
I'm from ibadan, Oyo state and I live on the South side of Chicago too and doing well for myself by God's Grace . so many Nigerians that live here too. I have only in my 5 years durjng my stay here heard gunshot one time.

I live in a decent neighborhood on the Southside. All other Nigerians I know live in decent neighborhood. So I don't get all the stories flying arround.

I laughed when people say Chicago is very dangerous and I see someone recommending Baltimore MD.

Believe all what media says at your own peril

Shalom!

Artiiclebeast:


Ekpa....

You are obviously a kid and a lazy one at that.

If you knew how long I have been in this world, the first world countries I have lived in for years, and the experiences I have garnered, then you'd agree with me when I say America is truly God's own country and you would stop quoting me to disgrace yourself.

Stop deceiving and discouraging people due to your own failures and inadequacies...

mmsen:


Most Americans are not wealthy, far from it. Most are 2 pay checks away from homelessness.

Yours is the kind of senseless post that I'm accustomed to seeing from Nigerians.

Tony Elumelu and Tinubu do their business in Nigeria, not the States.

And why are you talking about American companies without thinking on how to build your own?

sukkot:
BROTHER how is north clarendon avenue on the south side of chicago ? are you sure you were not living at twin towers on north clarendon and wilson in the uptown neighborhood. that place is full of naijas

BigIyanga:



Lol.. you got him

Dawn91:


Point of correction I am in naija currently, secondly you will have no idea how cursed Nigeria is until you leave it. You see all the documentaries, first hand stories and websites can never explain well enough the culture shock of the first time you realize all your whole.life up till tnah point you landed in America was a waste.

Nigeria is cursed bro

Zekrayer:
na so. Anti-Americanism. People who have failed all their lives to upgrade their existence who feed on " Western-negatives ". Focus on your generational poverty

Artiiclebeast:


Proud arrogant dimwit.

Your types are the reason why I'm commenting on this thread.

You've been fortunate to go the route, refuse to acknowledge the fact that you are fortunate, hence, anyone can be too.

But instead, you make it seem difficult for people by trying to paint it as though you made it because of your intelligence and as though it were a big deal for others to achieve so that they can keep worshipping and bowing to you as the richest and biggest boy in the hood.

That is how the people destroying Nigeria reason.

You are living better than me. And so? Be and you dey measure prick?
Rubbish.

kingreign:


Seconded!


Let her come back if she doesn’t like what’s going on in USA.

Artiiclebeast:


Guy, no listen to the yeye naysayers jare.

If you get the energy and time and you want work, oga, you go earn $10k per month no be go come.

Decades of a gun culture. To many, acquiring guns is like acquiring wealth. In America, people inherit guns.
