You don't have to touch someone to sexually harass them. Lewd comments and unwanted advances count as well.

Shameful to see some Nigerians here supporting trump as if people had ever lacked jobs in america[with exception of 2007-2009 recession] If jobs were a problem ,Al Gore and Hillary clinton would not have lost elections.Obama apart from implementing policies that helped immigrants and minorities like us; also set the economy on the fast track we are seeing today.He made laws that curtailed the excesses of the wall street guys,tightened regulation on mortgage lending,simulated the economy through bailout of ailing companies ect.Apart from deportation,i am still yet to see any concrete economic policy implemented by trump as to claim credit for the good economy.His core supporters are mostly the hardcore racists but they cannot guarantee any victory for him as the sane people that were decieved to vote for the conman have now distanced themselves from him and his party

Even though Donald trump is a big idiot , it’s look like he will be up for re-election . Because there have not been any strong contenders yet. I appreciate some of the things Obama did with health care and the economy, but he still fell short in a lot of ways especially with immigration. I actually read a report that there was a lot of deportation under the Obama administration. For some reason , the American government does not want to reform their immigration system which is very broken. I think it’s due to politics and money. A lot of employers thrive off from employees who are illegals or temporary visa holders because they tend to pay them lower wages, which makes more room for profit.

IMHO, starting and running a business in the US is absolutely very easy.

Hear me out.

Unlike in Nigeria, the process is well detailed, the forms necessary are easily accessible, the fees are specific and doesn't change based on who you know.

I have businesses (not conglomerate but business none the less) both in Nigeria and USA and I speak from experience.

People also need to understand that the US is such a big place and that various municipality have their own rules and regulations.

Federal law
State law
County law
City law
Subdivision rules and regulations if in one.

In Nigeria we pretty much have federal law it seems.

One of the other things I want to impress on people is that where you leave, friends you keep and generally things that you do will dictate how you will coexist.

It's a pretty free society. I haven't spoken to a police officer since I came back to California in 2010. My Wife joined me here in 2013 and have never spoken to a police officer. I drove from Ibadan to Ijebu Ode last year and there were maybe 5 or 6 checkpoints. Seriously!

Infrastructure is pretty solid. Yeah we have some bad roads here and there.

Though I have been accused of discouraging people to migrate but it is not so. My whole deal is to migrate legally. It just makes things a lot easier.

On credit, it is very useful but one must be disciplined. I have credit cards with 0% interest for 18 months to 2 years. Basically free money to use while I earn interest on my savings. If you are disciplined to pay it off before the 18 months i sup then you're good. I just pity those that don't know how to use credit as they're selling themselves short in a credit society.

A good credit record affects the following:

Car insurance
Employment
Housing
Utilities (they can then ask for a hefty deposit but won't deny you service)

So you can see that it's not a play thing. You can't get a job in a bank if you have bad credit.

If you see your Americana friend with a iPhone X or S9 then one of three things. He bought it cash for about $1,000, he has good credit so that he got 0% rate or he has bad credit and he's paying ridiculous interest rate.

If you're a car freak like me then it is very easy to indulge yourself in the car hobby. America is not a country where if you have a 2000 Accord people will think you're piss poor like they would look at you in Nigeria. You can drive a very clean, very good and dependable car for under $1,000

Goo luck to all aspirants. Its a very good place to be a normal human being but you have got to hustle.
. Most insightful and sensible facts stated. Kudos

I keep trying to understand why this statement keeps being mentioned.

Out of all the advanced countries in the world the US has the most different ways to migrate legally into the US.

I am guessing that the only explanations why the US immigration system seems broken is because the laws already in place has been broken so many times and even the law makers have encouraged it to continue that way out of greed and cheap labor.

8 times USA lawmakers have granted amnesty to groups of illegals since 1986. Millions of people. There is nowhere near enough detentions centers beds to house illegals caught by border security. Many are just released with a court summons to appear at X date for court. They never show up. And you also have people that fly in with a travel visa, student visa, etc that just don't go back. Although people from all over the world fly into Panama, Columbia, then trek north with smugglers to the border, a decent portion abuse the visa process.

No it’s broken and unfair nobody can dispute even this current administration agrees that it’s broken. One can not immigrate legally to the US on their own without sponsoring from either spouse , family or job except for the DV lottery. Dv lottery has its disadvantages. Unlike other countries that allow for immigrants to immigrate on their own without any ties to the country . For example , Canada and Australia allow qualified skilled immigrants to get Pr to their countries without ties to their country. We have lost many skilled immigrants from the US due to strict immigration policies. The processing time for certain immigrant visa can take years if not decades which causes a backlog.

Raccoon Orientation for Canada-Bound Nigerians

By Late Pius Adesanmi

I promised I was going to get around to tell you all this story.
Eventually.

Happened last summer – before my accident.

The jazz of all my political enemies in Nigeria finally crossed the Atlantic and caught up with me here in Ottawa.

The trouble with Homo Occidentalis North Americanus is that as soon as he arrives within a certain income bracket that is no longer middleclass but not quite upperclass but dangerously close to upperclass, he will move far away from the city and create a new paradise he calls upscale suburbia. Swanky neigbourhoods with manicured lawns, removed from the rabble of the city.

That is where you will find high-earning doctors, engineers, accountants, lawyers, etc. If you are a Professor who negotiated a good pay when you were hired, you also tag along, buy property among them, and begin to form associate big man.

Trouble is suburbia in Canada or the US is always encroaching on the habitat of much older residents. Man steals land from these residents but cannot always predict consequences. That is why a family in Florida will return from work to an alligator chilling in their swimming pool. That is why a family in Arizona will grumble about rattle snakes all over their yard. They call animal services. Never mind that these animals have called that place home for millions of years before man put one leg on top of another leg and developed his suburbia there.

In Ottawa, if you live in the suburbia called Riverside South as I do, you have encroached on prime raccoon territory. As in Florida and Arizona, these raccoons have a way of behaving like omo onile in Lagos. Occasionally, they let you know who truly owns the land (This is where you google raccoon).

Because the jazz of my political enemies in Nigeria worked as I was saying, a family of raccoons elected residence in our roof last summer. We’d been hearing mawuru mawuru in the ceiling for months. The noise would come only at night. Tise said it was the tooth faerie. I thought it was squirrels, but we couldn’t fathom how squirrels could tear into the roof of a duplex from outside and make their way into the attic.

One day, madam called me urgently and asked me to hurry home. I arrived to a small situation in front of our home. Our otherwise very friendly neighbours had converged on our front lawn. It was quite a scene. Bloodshot eyes everywhere. No friendly faces. In upscale suburbia, we are naturally the only non-white homeowners within a certain radius so when normally friendly white neighbours converge, looking sorrowful and unfriendly, you worry.

I exited my car to behold quite a scene. Unknown to us, we had accommodated a pregnant raccoon for several weeks. Mama Raccoon eventually gave birth to six pups. On this day, she suddenly went crazy like she found a mixture of codeine, sniper, and tramadol in our attic. She began to fling her babies down on the lawn one by one. From the roof of a duplex fa.

That explained the sadness and sorrow of our neighbours. Remember, this is an animal-loving civilization. It also explained their hostility. Somehow, it must have been something we did that got that poor animal so crazy that she began to murder her own kids. Everybody was looking at us one kain, like, what have you guys done now?

The only analogy for you in Nigeria is if your home was invaded by destructive giant rats. You’d tried everything from traps to rat poison. Then, one day, Mama Rat begins to miraculously kill her own children before your very before. Only for your neighbours to gather around sorrowfully because those awesome baby animals are dying. Only for them to be hostile to you for not doing enough to keep the baby rats alive!

Anyway, animal services eventually arrived to rescue some of the babies that had not yet died. Come and see interrogation! Even Tise did not escape questioning! Are you guys perhaps a little noisy in the house? What time do you all normally sleep?

Nigerians, believe you me, Oyinbo was trying to determine if we did something to cause the postpartum depression of Mama Raccoon, which led her to killing her babies!! They began to explain the characteristics of raccoons to us. How it was still too early for her to bring her babies out, let alone fling them from the roof. There was the unsaid: you guys must have done something.

When we were eventually “acquitted”, the animal services people went into our attic to inspect. They screamed in excitement: three more babies that Mama Raccoon had yet to fling! We said: thank God. Now you can evacuate Mama Raccoon and her remaining babies.

I hope you all know that in Obodo Oyibo, public animals are government property. All those doves you see in Trafalgar Square or the squirrels you see on lawns, geese, ati bebelo, are all government property. Una wey dey go holiday in London from Nigeria, go to Trafalgar Square and touch a dove, that is the day you will realize that the life of a public animal is worth more to the government of obodo oyibo than your life is worth to the Nigerian government.

So, we asked Obodo Canada to please carry their raccoons from our ceiling. We were in for another shock. She is a nursing mother, the animal services people replied, we don’t move nursing mothers. By law, Mama Raccoon has the right to remain here and nurse her remaining babies. We will keep checking.

I have been in Obodo Oyibo for 22 years. I didn’t see that one coming. Apparently, the Raccoon had eminent domain! The best they could do for us was to come and move her at the end of the biological breeding cycle or something to that effect. With that, they entered their van and zoomed off.

I looked on in wonderment, lost in one of those na-who-send-me-come-obodo-oyibo moments that every Diasporan goes through on occasion. With which mouth am I even going to tell this sort of story to a Nigerian audience?

Then I noticed that Tise all along had had the same attitude as our Oyinbo neighbours.

Now she is glad that some Raccoon babies had survived and would not be moved.

I realized that only her parents had a problem.

I realized that we were two Nigerians raising a Canadian.

This is her country.
This is her culture.
These are her peoplye.
These are her baby raccoons.

I jejely borrowed myself brain and joined the little girl in rejoicing that three baby raccoons had survived.

Raccoons creep me out. They are super smart, have great memories, and and sneaky. When my family and I went camping two years ago, I was told by several people, to not leave any food out, nor leave the car doors unlocked because they can open them. A couple of people told me that woke up to their cars/trucks being ransacked bc the raccoons went inside looking for food. Another lady told me that they are super sneaky and operate like a operation sting, she said when her family went camping at a place called Raccoon Lake in my state, one will distract you while the other will make off with your food. They are bold. So when we went camping, late at night while we were just chilling by the bonfire, we saw their eyes in the distance lurking.
But mostly in the city, I only see them at night lurking in the sewer or sneaking in somebody's trash can.

Higher wages also means higher prices for services and commodities, inflation and maybe another recession. Trump might win due to racism

Higher wages also means higher prices for services and commodities, inflation and maybe another recession. Trump might win due to racism

Yea but atleast trump is making an effort to appease to his data base . While democrats keep making empty promises.

Hmmm...I don't think that is kind of true though.

If I remember very vividly, Obama kept one of his main promises about healthcare and that's what he focused on during his first two term of the Democrats having control of both the house and senate.

What other promises did the Democrats campaigned on that they were not able to achieve?

Either way, as you know the US government system has been created to run by checks and balances.

No one party can really govern to make laws and promises that easy to pass in the US. The US constitution has made it that way and so far no one seems to have it easy to just change it.
