Legendoo: Bastard liar. Why e dey pain you for body, mumu. I dey debunk all una lies of say "America no easy". I know how painful that can be to be busting your bubbles you lazy dickhead. Mumu. You dey US 30 years you no still Sabi Road dey talk about 100k. Wetin concern me concern your 100k. I'm even very okay with 30k. Olodo That your laziness and unwillingness to be able to learning new things and ways of doing things or surviving in the US doesn't mean everyone must suffer as your cursed soul has been suffering.

Ishilove: Too bad she is on the wrong side of America. Poverty in the Us is less the 14% of the population. Unemployment is less than 4% Hunger is nonexistent. A Black man was president for 8 years. She chooses to see poverty and racism instead of opportunity and grace. To me, she made the worst choice. 3 Likes |

Lifepia: You are living in your own world and this is why most black people are still backward and too emotional to make progress,They only focus on their weak point and wail like idiots.if you are well read you will understand that the capitalist world is a modified jungle where you have to survive by any means necessary and eschew unnecessary emotions and the white folks are not even left out,we still have homeless and jobless whites also. She is very lucky unlike some northern almajiris they are not even sure of their next meal not to talk of being educated. Focus on your goal and try to outsmart the system and have peace of mind. Maybe it Could have been worst if the blacks where to be the whites with what I have witness in my life so far and I overpaid my dues for whatever i have today( no scholarships or free travel) n iam still paying not minding the distraction. American dream is real, 99% can't be wrong. Iam not even in America...lol 2 Likes |

Artiiclebeast: Exactly why I said you are a dullard. She's talking about real life in Chicago , you're talking about laziness . How does that correlate? Well since you didn't understand the Tax explaination and consequences , it's safe to assume you're one of those hungry mofos in Nigeria hoping to travel. I assumed you are here. Werey advising me about laziness , do you know what I do? I'm not pained because I'm here, na you suffer head go finish for naija and when we come home we go employ you. Arindin |

InfinityFabric: Thanks I have read about it just now. Quite informative. The formative history of the area also suggest it to be a somewhat neglected black dominated area in the past. 1 Like |

The millions of Hispanics littered all over the US wey no get any document but to dey born like almajiri for the government to take care of how far about them? Una still come America dey play awoke of I no wan born pass one picking while the Hispanics don litter everywhere with their population and will soon be calling the shots on the caucasians and our blacks.

If you believe your lies and are convinced in your ego-tripping bullshits, open a thread let's debate so I can point out your fallacies based on the one month experience I have that has trounced your decades of lying to yourself and others so as not to get a competition. I know how annoying I sound right now to you ego-trippers because all you had and kept to oppress people who hadn't been here with is been debunked and thrown to the bin. Rubbish |

The point of this thread is obviously lost on so many people. A story about someone whose expectations of America didn't meet her reality, but she coped, learnt and evolved to suit the environment she found herself. And now she's striving, applying to further her education and improving herself. And she's telling you people, And as usual you descended into insults, curses and unnecessary clapbacks. Any reasonable person will pick a lesson or two from this and adjust their idealisms accordingly. "Although I plan to go away for college, I don’t plan to stay away. After I get my degree, I hope to go to medical school at the University of Chicago, here on the South Side. Because leaving this neighborhood isn’t going to make it any better. But coming back, serving the community, working to get programs funded, and working to get guns off of the streets could make a difference for others who are born on the South Side or arrive here with big dreams of their own." God bless Ajibola. May she achieve all her dreams and expectations. 4 Likes |
