The guy is still in Albany, New York. Conference finishes soon. He actually wanted to stay behind to make room for him applying for a residency visa or find a person to settle down with.

People talking about hotels and going back to Nigeria dont understand the story or struggle behind his journey. He went to the conference with only $120 in his pocket. He struggled to come up with ticket money. Friends and foes have to gather and contribute the ticket money.

Going back to Nigeria so soon will be seen as failure for him. He wont have another chance again. He still has valid visa till 2017. Help comes in different form.

Ar dis one go pass failure ohh,it will be too bad,(cos how him go come yanky come go back empty handed?,)who's fault? Look,his best option is to go to a nigerian church..."I dey tell u,he will see many there peeps with stories or atlist one in same situation ...I currently have 3 guys in my church with same palava (one is a CameroonIan and has been sleeping in my church for the last 4months now)...free feeding,accommodation and now has a job (under d take job)....na just one yr I give d guy,he will be on his feet...

But come to think of it,I was d 1st to advice him about a week ago,to try a n9ja church, up till now,him never go any chuch,..."him b winch"?,evil spirit abi him dey fly for night,dis one way him dey avoid church, And as per him going conference from n9ja with only $120, dt na fat lies! I don't bliv U..

He's not gon be a permanent tenant. He only needs 5 months to get his sh*t together or move back to Nigeria. He's not staying behind and allowing his stay/visa to run out. He's hoping he will meet someone he will get involved with within 5 months or even get a place to work for that duration before returning home. He needs money to sustain himself back home.

5 months is too long and won't work for me. I am often in and out of New York and would like to come to my place when I'm there.

Let him try Craigslist or online dating.

A visa is not permission to stay in the Country. His entry stamp will determine how long he is legally allowed to be in the Country ( max is 6months) unless an extension is granted. I don't see why he has to feel like a failure if he has to return home. It's not as if he will be dropping out of college!

I'm sure that's sarcasm because nobody would intentionally want to be stuck with alimony and child support payments for the next 18years.

I know where this is going.
If this cousin of yours is not illegal, i will help him get a job on Monday and he will be able to make $250 every week, he will save up some money while living at my house but I'm sorry.

Does he have a social security number ?
Does he have a state ID card ??
Does he have a green card ??

If your answer is "No"
My advice is to arrange flight ticket for am make he come back to Naija.

You can't have a good job if you're illegal in America, you can only get a job at the farm or any fuccked up job
the same farm job they are running from in Nigeria. How funny.

you are even part of this man's problem. You actually think he can make money to sustain and keep sustaining him in 5 months. How do you guys even see these green countries. 300k that you gave him is enough to develop his talent in art. If he is good at the art job, he need not to seek pity to be helped. It will tell.

Op I dare say you are the so called 'cousin'. This is the situation you put yourself into when you set out to a foreign land without proper planning. Before I travelled abroad, I did a thorough research, I read and read. Through Nairaland I was able to get info from various threads about what to expect. Even though I was going to Germany I read about life in other countries. I knew I wasnt going to pick money on the streets of Europe. I didn't expect much from the country. First and most important step was coming here legally with a visa that will allow me to work. Since I have arrived here I have been contented. I knew it will take time and years to grow. I have a nice place to lay my head, security access to good standard healthcare. I am satisfied with life and working on moving forward gradually.
When I read stories of people on Nairaland saying they want to go abroad to hammer and by range rover like one clown on another thread I just shake my head for them. Even the native born citizens of these countries we go to, many are not rich. They work and pay taxes too.
Now op you got no permit to work and you want to make money in 5 months? Nearly impossible. In Europe no one will risk hiring you else they will be heavily fined by government. So you must have papers to work. You want a woman to marry within five months that's gonna be really hard to see. Don't know about USA but the Europeans can't be fooled into marriage for papers like in the past. They are wiser now. Marriages between black and white are not as common as before.
I wish you luck. And I hope someone out there reading this will make informed decisions before leaving the country.
Tell am!

This is exactly how some people become destitutes in America. I pray and reject that for him but I doubt if he knows how precarious his situation is. If things go south the 'handsomeness' will be totally unrecognizable in a matter of months.

Poorly planned relocation attempts like this are even worse for women. Several have been passed around and even ended up becoming mentally unstable and with many children from different men enticing them with promises of helping file their papers to regularize their stay.

Back to the guy, as some have stated it's down to 2 obvious choices - stay and hope for some divine intervention or go back and plan again since visa is still valid. If staying better start going out to malls and other places and target some 'not too pretty' but nice women but be prepared to live in bondage for years if it works out.

If God bails you out of this you will deeply respect those who are doing well abroad.
Tell am!

Hi Nailanders,

My cousin travelled to the US a week ago for a Art conference ( he is on a business visa). The Art Residency as its called is still ongoing and will finish soon.

He made an arrangement with his friend in Ohio that after the conference he would be coming over to stay with him. When he got to the US, he called his friend and the friend started ignoring his calls. He finally got through but the friend told him that he has changed his mind that he should look for somewhere else to stay.

Cousin is disappointed, and doesn't have anybody or place to stay after the conference. The conference is in New york. The Art organizers provided him with accommodation until the end date of the conference.

Nairalanders, I need your help to assist this brother.

Thank you

What does single and handsome have to do with being stranded? Are you pimping him out?
