It's never too late.
IF you have a degree already start preparing for GRE.
If you don't have a degree, start preparing for SAT, TOEFL.
No hope is lost.
Whatever you do, make sure you are taking steps towards your dreams.
Keep hope alive, it will happen for you too.
I'm looking forward to read from you in the nearest future.

Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by BlowJobs: 6:16pm On Apr 23, 2018
Let me share another motivation with my naija youths here

I cried when we moved 2weeks ago to a new appartment.
I went through some of my old things cos my wife wants us to donate what we don't need. Inside one of my books from naija, í saw the rest of my Alawi from 2013 that I didn'tspend. Then I remembered I got late to the airport due to traffic and airport workers were trying to delay me so I can "Roger" them. I had intended to spend that money on buying credit so I can call my family when I land but didn't have time. I hid it between one of my books so they don't take it from me

l remembers the struggles I went through and I am thankful

Like I said, if there's a job already waiting for you after service I wish you good luck.
If you know you don't have no clear direction for where you life is going with all the efforts you're putting in, while you apply for jobs I will encourage you to also start applying to migrate. You only have one life to live

I can attest to it. Once you leave naija and you have a solid plan, you'd be surprised the pace by which your life will move.

The whole money can't even pay for your phone bill self. What a lazy currency used in a country with a lazy President.

Omo see money!

In Nigeria, that amount is gold but over there it's useless cheesy

Be saving hard to leave this country.

18 year old, the earlier the better.

Once you have your pikin, show them the useless money we're spending here in Nigeria.

A word of advise for Nigerian youths (University undergraduates, graduates, Corpers and recently employed youth).

If you plan to migrate ( you look forward to it, dream about it, Nigeria frustrates you, you get depressed with the situation going on in Nigeria), Migrate while you are young and have all the strength to "struggle". Don't wait till you get older. Don't wait and keep hoping Nigeria will get better (it might never be). it is best you achieve your dreams now and acquire so much skill so that when that time comes and Nigeria is better, you have so much to give back to Nigeria (or it is best you have options so that when you move back to Nigeria, if things don't work, you can bring out your foreign passport and leave at ease)

Don't be that person at 40 years old running from Embassy to Embassy.
Don't be that person at 40years old looking for ways to move his/her family outside Nigeria. Don't be that person writing English test, GRE, GMAT, Filling out Immigration questionnaire at 37years old. DO IT NOW if you really look forward to migrating. The time to start is NOW!!!


you only have one life to live. Do you wanna live it with constant Electricity or Generator noise?. The choice is yours.


For married/ Family people, I really don't have an advise for you. I just hope you have the skills, Experience and qualifications that will open doors and opportunities for you. That is the only thing you can depend on when thinking about Migrating

BJ
I must say your thread has inspired me so much.Though I have a good job here at home but the life isnt what you call life.I want my wife and kids to live in the US.My daughter is a US citizen,my son isnt.I am also pushing my kid bro to go for his masters in the US with me sponsoring him.My wife/son spent 5months in the US and I can tell you I really want them back there to live without coming back to Naija.I visited twice during the period she went for childbirth and saw things for myself.Some of my friends left their jobs to migrate over.Thank you for the thread.Oh!by the way,I screenshot your interview and sent to a friend to have an idea.

@moyeb If you really have a good job job like you said to be able to sponsor family members abroad and also visit sometimes yourself, I would advice you not to ruin that opportunity by travelliing to us.when you get to us the first shock you will meet is how to legalize your stay,nobody is ready to give you a single dollar or show you support like we do here in Nigeria.The second shock is the kind of demeaning job you will find yourself doing just to pay bills and survive and not saving up anything even 1k dollars which is ordinary 350 k naira.They don't recognize the degree you came with from Nigeria.I can go on and on.In a nutshell don't mess up the good life you have in Nigeria.I am advising based on personal experience. The choice is yours

Dear aariwa,
Thank you for your advice.I never said I want to leave my job.Secondly,I'm aware of all you just said.I was talking about sending my wife and two kids which we've already commenced the process.I will leave my job at the right moment when all is sorted out.
Remember,we all have plans.
