shaybebaby:Wow!! You guys must be paying loads of cash. My school do have versions of these 24 hours "library" more in the computer room section but no eating and drinking. Main libraries are never 24 hours but with a virtual library, one can have access to millions of books and online journals through the various affiliates/memberships. |

dancok:What I see here is that, though, life might not be easy there as claimed by those living there but I think the whole thing is exaggerated To make money is not easy anywhere but Nigeria is worse. A country where people plot evil against one another just to meet their needs |

Damzy007:The simple truth is that most educated nigerians are some of the dumbest people anywhere in the world. They lack the capacity to do a simple research and are completely brainwashed. Now listen and listen very good- going to college or university does not guarantee anything in america if anything at all it sets your life backward another 10yrs. Now start with this link before i really open your blind eyes. Most Americans getting close to 40yrs are still living with their parents and i am talking about college and masters degree holders.

UncleJudax:We can't generalize. But what this person did was to invest the little he was making wisely. No miracles. He bought quite a few cheap lands then and held over time while still doing his business. Then, he sold some and used the money to build houses on some. It wasn't a get rich quick thing, but he could be considered as doing really well now. 1 Like |

I have read all what has been discussed here..there are some elements of truth in what those saying America or other western world is not what most peeps in Nigeria think of it ..they are very correct that life is not easy,they are very correct about some people being out of job even after graduating,they are right in saying most things owned are on via credit card and stuffs like that and they are also right that there are homeless people all over the western world..i totally agree,but if i may ask is there any country that is 100% good?..i doubt it but there are numerous countries that are better than Nigeria..and what i wont also agree to is that it is better to remain in Nigeria if you have a legal immigrant opportunity to live in any western world. Difference is,you are given the enabling environment to succeed in anything you work hard and is determined to do without political,tribal and religious attachments we have in Nigeria.In western world like America,your kids have future and know where they are heading to,if you get serious and take a deep breath you will rediscover your new potential and dive towards it and make a decent living,yes agreed that some drive cabs in the US for 30yrs but thats what they chose to do and are lazy to try something better,he has been driving cab for 30yrs and some that came from Nigeria 5yrs ago decided to enroll in RN courses took sleepless nights to study and graduate and are making good money..some came from same Nigeria and went into trade skills education and came out took some time and established their own workshops and make money..some came and looked at the market structure of the city and labor demand and decided to take the pains to switch to a different thing...statistics have it that Nigerians are the most educated and most industrious of all immigrants in the US..and they are all doing well.Okonjo iwuala is yet to return fully back to Nigeria and she schooled in the US started her career in the US and got to where she is now cos of the US..she didn't achieve that in Nigeria.Our Nigerian politicians kids all came to school in the US and so many remained to work in the US..they aint driving any cab or work in walmart...Regina Askia with all her miss Nigeria and nollywood celebrity got to US and went back to school to study Nursing and today she works as an RN..she ain't working in Macdonalds. ladys and gents here,you need to explore in other to discover to recover your potentials...i wont advise you to enter any country as an illegal or undocumented cos it would be so hard for you that you will wish you are back home in Nigeria..but if you have a legal means to enter the US please take the chance...Nigeria is not even supposed to be on the list of countries in the map.You may never be a Dangote in the US but you will sure have a better life than those in Nigeria..building houses and buying cars in Nigeria is what we see as a measure of success which is why Nigeria is what it is today..values have gone and mediocrity replaced it.It is better to be in US ,aim high and miss rather than be in Nigeria aim low and hit. life is not all rosy any where but its more gloomy in Nigeria that anywhere else.By the way i live in Canada legally and visit the US often.We enjoy somethings the US don't enjoy but the US dont have to live in giant freezer like us. 12 Likes |

Arondizuogu: You always need to cut your coat according to your size and think ahead of time. If you must buy something on credit, buy the one you can comfortably pay off based on your income. Many people here have bought so many things on credit with their card and comfortably paid off without issues and it improved their credit history. And credit card is not designed to deal with low income earners but rather to help them; it's not compulsory that everyone must have it. Both low and high income earners are allowed to have it if they choose. Also, you should avoid buying every single thing you need on credit say as not to accumulate debt for yourself. Avoid artificial life style. Not all Nigerians in the US are employees, some are self employed and have all the time in the world. America is full of opportunities, think of what betters your life more. 1 Like |
