I hate seeing comments like yours.The fact that u had it easy doesn't mean everyone has it easy.Nigerians are the most hardworking set of people I know. Most of our youths you call lazy are known to have two or more jobs when they get to the u.s,most of them get their masters and PhD while their American counterparts are mostly high school graduates.
Do u know how many hardworking graduates are unemployed in Nigeria. Una go just they type nonsense.

See I dint have it easy in fact I suffered after school I even had the option on getting out because I have siblings over there that were inviting me.
But I have this thing for "what is mine is mine" you don't want to know what I did after school but today 10years after school I can beat my chest
The opportunity I had then was given to my cousin then 10yrs now he is doing alright in Yankee no doubt but he still trips how I did it in Nigeria I have made life very comfortable for myself Legally and no connection
I don't have problem with you guys going but please don't come on social media and show others beauty of other countries and telling them to come over making us loose valuable youths because they want to make dollars

Bros there is absolutely nothing wrong with anybody doing the bolded, this is a country of almost 200m people, people like you will stay and make it work others will go else where to find peace and while at it, they will share ideas with others that are interested. The country is not loosing anything

Lol. You can come here and throw tantrums all you want, the truth is nigeria is nowhere near being developed. If I was faced with this decision to come over to the USA 10 times, I'd pick here 11 times. Me, I go dey post my experiences as I dey see am, your opinions do not matter one bit, the least you can do is ignore the thread, no one forced you to click on the thread title and read through.

open your thread and defend how glorious nigeria is, you will not see me on the thread bashing your posts. That being said, say hello to the newest employee of Burger King grin

Isn't life funny?
By this time last year, I was an undergraduate dissecting dead bodies (cadavers) in nigeria. Now I'm flipping burgers in the USA grin

Very soon, I'd go back to dissection (this time, real humans). Life sha is in phases. grin

Maybe I'd have this thread moved to the diary section so you guys can shove your "i love nigeria more than the usa" comments up your respective anal sphincters. grin

Brother, am really happy that you doing great there,but my questions are 1) how long have you lived in US and how did you get jobs?
2) did you travel with a visiting visa, cos a friend told me if you don't have working permit you will be useless in US, is that true?
3) what's the hope of surviving for a person going to the US with just a 2yrs visiting visa?

Thanks, I will be elated if you can answer my questions

1) I entered the USA december last year.
2) I travelled with an immigrant visa, my mum is a citizen so she filed for us. I have my green card, so looking for jobs isn't that hard, you just have to be determined to work.
3) a lot can happen in 2years, there's a million and one ways to get legal in the usa. Enter yankee first, as long as you have people here that know what's up, you will find your way.

These oyibo people can't pronounce my native name, it's so nice watching them try to. Though I have two english names (baptismal and confirmation names), I chose to stick with my native name. My native name is Obinna but they've helped me abbreviate it to "oh-bi" grin

According to the law, it's not possible. It's only people with at least one US citizen parent, or a parent with a green card, or a sibling who is a citizen, that are eligible to apply for green cards.

Lol. You think say anybody send you, the govt is even happy with people leaving. They would only be concerned if people like Otedola or Dangote decide to relocate. And moreover, this would benefit Nigeria in the long run, look at the Chinese as example.
