Guy!!!! Chicago, land of my inheritance. But come I, all these your pix. Na suburb una de? Enter city give us correct pictures na!

Trump towers
Navy pier
Lincoln zoo
Downtown generally..

I miss Chicago, mehn, timed my escape back to Nigeria before that wicked winter start. You missed the magnificent miles parade, awww. Make sure u see it next November.

I don't want to be you right now. Chicago winter + windy city is not for the faint hearted.

Welcome to Chicago. I am in Chicago myself. Live in the NW suburbs, but work downtown. So, I take the train into the city during the week. You already have some good advice. If you are good with computers (specifically programming/software), then a career in IT is what you can look into. If you have any questions relating to how to get into IT (compputer programming, etc.) and how to start, you can PM me. You are correct...Chicago is cold! And it's not evenJan/Feb yet. You just have to dress for it.

Edit - Now that I hjave seen more of your pictures, it looks like you are in the South Suburbs. I see you have visited on of the many Nigerian/African grocery stores we have in "Chi-town" . Good work bro!

And who talked about religion here? undecided

Can't people have their own morals and standards without religion?

I understand u, but i am not ready to be the first to break the jinx of no divorcee in my family. Trust me divorce over there aint child's play. I will rather marry for love rather than green card. If kove still fails after marriage at least i have a clear conscience i tried. Green card only guarantees u a like a better standard of living, not the most sort after riches. In fact with a green card u can still be as useless as an unserious person and even some unlucky serious persons in Nigeria if u are. It careful. I can go and hopefully i find a good citizen to build a beautiful family with. God help.my decision

Thank you my brother, like my brother who left for the US in August even for study only to get there and start looking for a citizen to marry... Well, he has his own decision to make. My point is you made your decision already and we need people who would stand and not compromise their integrity(not even religion now), we need men who are not desperate to the extent that they can do anything to get whatever they want. Men who wait for their own timing. Please do d needful and don't violate the law of any land all in the name of getting rich quickly..... Beware

Thanks jare. People wey never get visa before not to talk of travelling out before go con dey form super advisers dey rude on top am. Blab like every thing is as easy as ABC.
I am not desperate, I know no one will disturb u as long as u stay away from crime and troubles that can land you in police wahala. But all tru then, one has to do all these little jobs to sustain. But those little jobs still makes more sense compared to Nigeria, plus the standard of living and the relative peace of mind.Perhaps with time, one will get a spouse. U only have mouth whe. U have that green card. Will make a solid decision next year, God help me!

Whatever u say. But i could have bolted out immediately i got the visa cos the only problem would have been flight tickets which i can definitely afford. I have so many places i can put up to before i settle down. If u feel its forming, that is your cup of coffee. Its new year. No time for childish rants.

I havr a 2 years visiting visa that expires in 2018. Still confused ehat to do. I won't be a party to arrangee marriage for green card. Looks like that is the only way to get a green card if u overshoot ur time of visit or u actually get married to a citizen. Now i am confused. The only thing i need to do here ia desert or "put paper down". But what if i stay back and visa expires, (if u stay above 6 Months u already broke the rules). Just confused cos i wont do arrange marriage ir papers. Learnt flights are cheaper around feb to maybe may. I can afford it even now, but finding it difficult to make a decision.
