I think it meant Mexicans are more hardworking and/or resilient than Nigerians. That's what I inferred from the post.

Thank you so much...
I was totally lost...but yes Mexicans are some extremely hard-working and resilient folks from what I have seen in my lifetime.
They tend to do the "jobs" that many people in the U.S. label as "degrading" ...(unfortunately).
Work has to be done...people are needed in every aspect of industry..
Don't know if they are more hardworking and resilient than Nigerians though?
Hopefully he'll come and clarify when able.
So your thread lives on!

I would not compare the two groups,but both are hardworking. It was reported that Nigerian are one of the most educated groups in America.

Yeah...I agree that they shouldn't necessarily be compared. But both groups work extremely hard and yeah....Nigerians are (what I believe) are some very naturally-intelligent people...coupled with the desire, fortitude and resilience to achiever their goals... (hopefully legally). In the education arena though, I do think that Nigerians have surpassed Mexicans.
I think I may have read that somewhere here on Nairaland about their education levels in the U.S..
I've seen and experienced that personally too...so that makes sense that they are one of the most educated groups in America...makes a lot of sense to me.

Theamerican. You don't ave family here to give u update? No friends you left behind? Your sarcasm is obvious through ur writin, tone down a bit. Migrating legally is the ish. How many do u think can afford uni fees even citizens in US before u start thinking of Nija peeps. Many rich who do it have family interests in Nija, some do migrate buh not much, OBJ, Donald Duke, Otedola, Dangote, Igbenedion and many more secure their kids future down here to take over from them when they are gone. The ones you see there mostly are involved in marriage scams, over stay visit visa, many things like that. Some migrate legally especially average ones. Make it easy for us, U can start by marrying one of us to secure legal migration if u truly care so much. Post ur pix make we access u small.

Here to share another experience. So, after doing strong head for months, I finally got an iPhone X from a guy who badly needed the money. Good deal for $400.

I was home fumbling with the phone o. Trying to fit it into a case. Before I hear anything, the buttons were pressed together, phone entered power mode/call sos, kia kia, it was dialing 911. I panicked and ended the call after one ring.

3 seconds later, I got a call lol. I was not gonna answer but my friend told me if I didn’t, they would assume I was in trouble, couldn’t speak, trace my location, and send cops to come and save me from whatever the issue is.

I hurriedly answered the call lol. “Hello, this is the Dallas police department, we just got a call from this number”. I told them it was a mistake, that I just got a new phone and the phone dialed 911, etc. They said ok, laughed, said goodbye and hung up.

Taxpayers’ money works. If I was genuinely in trouble, they would have arrived on time to save my big black ass. �����

Which latrine this typical Nigeria goat come out from to spew sh*t on nice thread like this. She just wrote "If you truly like it there, I respect you and support your ministry" but as a dafti, your flawed sentimental bias and comprehension- ineptitude takes precedence over the fact before you. You have no business using intelligence in a sentence as thats an insult to intelligient people.
Ofcourse as a dullard, the truth the OP and others presents here convolates your sh*t filled brain.

If that cockroach IQ of yours is too low to appreciate her efforts at sheding light to matters then why not stoping fuxking and sh*ting around the thread. Or you think you have the monopoly of graphic words to oppress a lady?

I'm starting to think there's a different Nigeria for NLers on this thread. When you see stories on IG, Twitter, Facebook and compare to the testimonies of some people on here, it's like night and day.

See, if you're coming here to proclaim Nigeria as the land of opportunities, with milk and honey while in your heart you can't wait to get the opportunity to flee, you're deceiving yourself, get out of your ignorance and run for the sake of your future kids. They don't have to suffer for your ignorance.


....

Only God knows the hole the dumb ass crawled out from using his filthy fingers to type gibberish here.the fact you didn't see anything wrong with the bolded statements above clearly shows how dumb you are at comprehending words and how poorly trained your lazy mind is.
You turned an asslicker and a defense attorney because of little crumb to someone who left the country for many years now,renounced her citizenship and still has the gut to be insulting the sensibility of other well meaning Nigerians is all but a shame to you together with your co travelers.if all your efforts and cheap tactics at getting her attention is yet to yield any results clearly shows how a bitter loser you are.
You may curse your ancestors and your creator for making you a Nigerian and such land can never yield its increase to a traitor like you.
only a mad dog who has lost his bearing in life will see nothing good in his country but busying encouraging and cheering on one inconsequential outcast who came into a Nigerian forum with the intention of shaming the country with baseless comparisons and stupid narrations.
Its not your fault really,i blame the government for allowing a hungry nuisance like you to roam about their cyberspace,engaging in fraudulent activities while looking for some prey to devour instead of taking hold of his life that is fast laying in tatters.
Mumu like you,you keep having an orgasm and spending your energy defending someone that doesn't give a hoot about you instead of expending it on some productive stuffs that may give your life a meaning.
IDIOT !!!!!!.

According to the American man, all he has heard about Nigeria is that 'if you don't open up your pocket and pay everyone from the lowest to the highest, you don't get anything done'. He concluded his speech by stating that ' as an intelligent person, you need to get out of Nigeria if you want to get ahead, because the powers that be wants to hold everybody down; especially women and intelligent people'.

I always tell people, come here legally and u will regret staying in Nigeria.

I will rather say God bless Germany than mentioning Nigeria.

Going on europe tour as if you are going to Ikeja.

Access to free education, plenty student job( averagely €1500=650k per month after tax), many easy way to become a german citizen,free semester ticket( you can travel a whole state 247 without paying kobo.

From nursery school to PhD education in Germany is 100% free for everyone.


Plenty free loan if u want oo....atleast u can get a credit card upto 6k euro=2.5m naira without collateral even as a student, if you are working full time here, plenty loan u can access at a very very low rate from mortgage to car of any brand.





Please where can one get this in Nigeria?

Who ever tell you to stay back in Nigeria is your village member holding u back.

Theres no comparism between heaven and hell fire.

God bless Germany.

Going on world tour in December, any europe based dude interest in co ride can holla.

Greetings from the Capital of Europe(Berlin)

The people I pity the most here are the creative minds that have no clue how making full use of their potentials can liberate them forever. See intelligent people slaving away for employers and even having to beg for salaries to be paid. How can someone work for months, not get paid and nothing is done? It baffles me.

You'll see job advert, asking for you to have crazy qualifications and years of experience and they'll offer you 50k Naira a month lmao. You'll even hear people saying "if you don't take it, others will". They've already accepted stupid practices.


Mediocrity has become the norm. The day you move to a reasonable country and you take a look at the rights you have as a human being and how strictly these things are enforced, that's the day you'll know you're wasting your life away defending mediocrity and absolute BS in Nigeria.

Rich man will go to barracks, bring 3 soldiers to beat the crap out of you because you hit his car on the road and nothing you can do about it. Ah! Come and try it here lol.

suffering and smiling. Nigerians have accepted mediocrity as a norm that's why even the so called educated will bathe with salty water in the name of preventing Ebola.
