Lifepia: From your write up,you are the one being delusional and uninformed. If you are planning to hold the crop of politicians we have in Nigeria now accountable then you are living in a different world. You guys are just dat dreaming for expecting the American dream not to have it's torns n setbacks and it seems both of you where thinking that American dream is really a dream where wishes are horses. |

[quote author=Ishilove post=113308654][/quote] Why not do research before migration why do people rush to do life changing decisions. . How on earth would you move to Chicago the house of drugs crime and violence na lowkey bundu or abonema be Chicago na except the gated communities there.... thousands of drug heads fraud and crime A Google search of top 10 violent states in America would have saved her family these trauma. However, "it's good to die in a place where things work than stay in the shit hole" ipob and agitator. If you wan leave Nigeria and you no shine ya eye do your research you go turn to philosopher preaching bad news every where you go. $0000/2 |

delzbaba: Toor Everybody knows that Southside Chicago is very rough and dangerous but it's not a comprehensive picture of the whole of America Hmmm I'm not crazy about living in the US and there is no place like home. BUT my earning power is in America and I will always be grateful for the opportunity of dual citizenship.... Enjoying the best of both worlds.. To God alone be the glory 3 Likes |

BigIyanga:american nightmare you mean lmao see the problem here is that you are not fully vested in chicago for you to appreciate the gangsta way in which it is run. its like me i have never been fully vested in lagos state to know how it is run but yet i hear people swearing and cursing tinubu all the time but i never understood it because i was never vested in the place meaning i had no business or property in the place. however i was speaking to my sister who is fully vested in lagos and has a business and property and she was narrating how tinubus people came to tear down and throw away her business sign. am like really ? why ? she says to have any sign up in lagos state you have to pay money to tinubu. i was shocked. now her husband has land in jakande lekki and tinubu was trying to take the land from him and he had to fight the case in court for like 4 years. whats my point ? you can only appreciate how gangster a place is run when you have properties and business in the place. thats why you dont know chicago because you are most likely just a nigeran grunt renting an apartment and looking for work. you dont own property or business in chicago. i know guys who own business on roosevelt avenue 1200 south and every month government mobsters come to shake them down for protection money. i know people who own property and the mobsters would jack up and double property tax so as to kick you out and take your property. this is how chicago is run but you need to be a business owner or property owwner to see the gangsterism. i mean look at the former mayor below of over 22 years ? how do yo become the mayor for 22 years ? only in chicago the corrupt city. this nigga takes pride in dressing like al capone the gangsta. look at the al apone hat he is wearng ? all gangsters. people are tired of the corruption and gangstersm and are runnng away from chicago. most corrupt city in america for 3 years in a row now. 2 Likes

TWoods:You keep believing you own lies. What at arrogant display of sophisticated idiocy. Violent crimes are mostly committed by legal residents and residents. TX has the largest of refugees in the US while Mississippi has the highest gun death in the country. There is no correlation except in your head. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/slideshows/states-with-the-most-refugees?slide=11 https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/05/26/politics/gun-violence-data-what-matters/index.html Your feelings are not facts. Chicago is not in the top 15 of cities with the most violent crimes/homicide.. your feelings are not facts. Gary IN has more violent crimes than Chicago, how many immigrants live there? Sticking to the subject, Chicago is well suited for the OP cos asylum seekers dont have it easy any where. |

sukkot:Typical anecdotal alarmists.. How did you know about me? So a coat is what makes a person a mafia? Has any mayor been indicted in the last 30yrs? Naija folks and conspiracy theorists are married.. lol. There is no term limit so the mayor ran for multiple times and won.. every ekevtion he had an opponent. So take ur fallacy to beer parlour group chat I have owned businesses in the city for decades and know a lot of Nigerian business owners.. nobody has harassed them. |

For every one black immigrant in America who didn't make it,there are at least 50 who are all doing well.

Artiiclebeast: 10 bottles of Heineken for you boss I so much love this write up. You are a real hustler That’s what one of my cousin told me, he said anyone that tells me that life is hard in America is Joking. He said their is plenty of money to be made as long as you are not lazy. That he makes up to $5000 in a month as a Nursing assistant. Now the guy just joined the US army. This prompted me that I must move to the US or Canada despite married with two kids already. I need better life for my family. I really need much info from you boss |

ednut1:@ednut1, you didn't read her article properly. She's NOT being ungrateful and delusional. The teenager only gave the TRUE situation of drug-fuelled violence, and her family's status in the South Side of Chicago. The South Sides of Atlanta and Houston too have gangs and gun violence. Most U.S. South Side areas are usually violent. Better to live or stay outside these areas and white supremacist areas as well to enjoy the U.S. Folks coming over to the U.S. must do their due dilligence on the safe and unsafe areas of each U.S. city that they want to move to and the cost of living to avoid getting stuck in bad living conditions. Period. All the best. 1 Like 1 Share |

AlphaTaikun:What better due diligence could they have done as asylum seekers with limited options?.. Maybe people lied to them.. There is no American dream for asylum seekers until you get your papers.. Given the fact that they came from SW-the most peace region in the country... their chances of denial are very high...someone from Sambisa area stands a better chance . 2 Likes 1 Share |

PeachtreeReside:Keep shaking your ignorant head there, till it falls, if you like keep being deceived by Nigerian sadists. I, My mother and half of my family are scattered all over the US, they will laugh if they can read your comment. Na person wey dey live for naija dey comment about insecurity? Forget talk, WE ARE IN HEAVEN. You all are clowns. It is only Nigerians I’ve seen that do this, every other race of people are always grateful for the American opportunity. All of us are afraid to even step foot in our former countries. Including these hypocrites talking rubbish as if crime doesn’t exist everywhere. |

PeachtreeReside:If calling you ‘ignorant’ is verbal abuse to you, you need to take adult English classes. Your opinion is ignorant, and hypocritical, that you have an opinion doesn’t mean a person can’t counter it. Greatest achievement my generation will ever achieve? I am trying to educate you on your ignorance, you want to start throwing unmerited insults to my family? Down to my generation? See this pathetic frustrated soul. I will not come down to your level to drag your family into this, you are the pig here. My dear, you are not just a big fool; you are bitter one like the rest. Bros/Lady, I have left you to believe what you wish, die in Nigeria, e no concern us for here. |
