LOOK WAR IS WAR AND PEACE TIME IS PEACE TIME.


EVERYBODY CARRYING GUNS IN PEAXE TIME MEANS SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE KILLED SOONER THAN LATER THAT DAY.


FEELINGS CHANGE AND ARE USUALLY VERY MISLEADING AND UNRELIABLE, I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE.


LIVING THERE IS TAKING A BIG CHANCE ALWAYS.

Hotels in NYC are not that cheap, except you're settling for the Bronx or outskirts, what app/website is this? The first hotel is €153 on booking.com
Even cheapest in Bronx is not $50. See below

Same was said when Euro came - dollar and US will crash!
America will never really crash financially. Too many things make that country rich - it is not like Russia or Nigeria. Money will never be their problem, petro-dollar and BRIC or not. They have other problems but I don't think money will ever be one of them for a very long time

All depends on where you are and your situation there. The average immigrant to the US is not living in a box room like that, and I'm sure you can find cheap motels rather than stay at a place like that unless you're trying to stay in Manhattan while being broke.

The second part of the equation is where is he now and what is his situation? If he is doing a lot better then the sacrifice was worth it abi?
Well, the person in question is doing pretty so well and has travelled over 20 countries with his boys and wife. He is a friend and I can say his story is such an awesome one of never giving up on your dreams.

There are dirt cheap hotels that cost that much per day as at now. Much less many years ago. Meaning he could have gotten hotels for that price or less for 24 hours since this supposedly happened years ago.

Na him wan stay New York. In fact even in New York he could have gotten hotels at that price for 24 hours instead of 8 hours and stay the whole day. plus some will serve you breakfast.

Pls shut up abeg.

Dont believe everything thing you read. Sometimes I wonder if I am living in a different America. Newyork, Philly etc do have even hostels that you can rent btw $40 and $50. There are thousands of shelters for the homeless in the US. Every Nigeria or Africans are not into dirty jobs. The average median income of Nigeria significantly higher than most whites. It’s not possible for an average American to earn more than an average Nigerian who is working in thesame company where over time is available. Nigerians are not living for themselves alone but for their large dependents back home, while Americans live independent of their children, parents etc beca they are been supported by the system.

The issue of slavery is sometimes exaggerated because nobody forces you to work over time. Americans work overtime but not like Africans who wants to make all the money.
Many Nigerians here buy there own houses not on mortgage, send their children to private schools etc

Racism is also exaggerated because I know that tribalism in Nigeria is worst, where a section of a country will call the other to leave thesame country they both belong.

Just talked about low self esteem among us.
He wanted to show subtly he has arrived.

It was here that I saw insults hauled at a man for plaiting his wife's hair in uk.
I was like,are these guys human at all.

And people will keep on being corrupt and devilish to please them.

Can’t wait to come home. Paying more the $4000 in bills per month. That’s total bull shit but life out isn’t the best though.

Fiction is something outside what REGULARLY obtains, NOT people who'd rather get peanuts than leave a room empty. You gave example of going on vacation - how much you'll expect to pay for a regular hotel room in NYC. If you tell anyone you're budgeting $50 a night, they'll tell you good luck with that!
Below is what REGULARLY obtains
If I’m on vacation, I expect to spend really well on a good hotel. 5 star preferably. 4 star if they’re known to be a nice boutique or design edition hotel.

But that’s not the case for him though is it?
He’s just looking for where to sleep so instead of a box, a cheap hotel could have served the purpose.

Also remember the beginning of my post I said he could have found something between $70-$100 to just have a bed and shower (nothing fancy or vacation level) for the whole day. But would’ve been better than a $80 box for 8 hours. Which is actually common sense but you had to argue.

I feel like you started to argue because you felt the need to be correct. I’m still showing you as I’m booking it on my phone and you just can’t help but argue. Na wa. Una really get wahala for this forum 🤭

I wonder if these mushroom hotels will charge that but I feel like if they do, it wouldn’t be that much. And you get the deposit back anyway

You see, I know some will come here to show their ignorance. There is a huge difference between New York City and New York State. The distance from NYC to Albany is about 3 hours.. if you don’t know, a simple google search should explain that. When you are done, come back hereto tell us who’s ignorant between you and I.

Is the Bronx or outskirts not better than that box he’s in?

Obviously the average hotel is not that cheap but for someone desperate like him, he could have found something better than that for a few dollars more. Which is literally my point and y’all are just arguing pointlessly. What website is that?
There are many websites. Just choose the one you want to book with.
