Good one but for me, I'm not going anywhere. I travelled to the same America many times and in September 2004 for the very first time in my life and on a virgin passport. I was barely a year on the job after my nysc that time. I was on my very first annual leave after confirmation of my appointment. I wasn't well paid that time but I could say I was comfortable compared to what my peers were earning. I saw America and I was like...this is a new world . Maybe the guy and I travelled the same month or year as he celebrated his 15th year in yankee a few months ago. I came back after spending 2 weeks and people were calling me names. They said I had been charmed , bla,bla,bla. Meanwhile, I had foreseen the huge opportunities here in Nigeria. A few years later, I became independent, doing my business. My 3 kids attend one of the best schools in the country. The same country and airports he claims they maltreat Nigerians, I earn respect, each time I visit as a Nigerian. They still say yes sir to me. The only difference between me and US citizens at the airport is passport control and that I'm subjected to that doesn't make me lose my respect...I still earn it. Where I have visited in America, I doubt if that guy has stepped into half of it because once you're in there, you hardly have time to move around except you're a celebrity. There's no time cos work would take almost all your productive hours, except when you're 2 days off. I've visited almost 35 states in America, mostly on business. I travel both by road and air. Road via greyhound and by air via my preferred airline,called spirit. I can enter yankee anytime I choose and once my Visa is expired, I drop box. I don't have to appear in person. Back home, I dine and wine with leaders that matter. The book of proverb 18:16 says a man's gift makes a way for him and brings him before kings. I can say that description matched my life as a Nigerian. I've met with the president of America on one occasion in same hall where he came to address us. There's a reason why God created us here. We should rather ask Him to help us unleash our potentials , that's all. Amazingly with their green paali, each time I visit, I'm still the one dashing most of them and children money. If you feel leaving is your best option, think twice . You may go there and bring back home opportunities. I've also built houses, not a house...in exotic estates in Lagos. Leaving the country isn't the best option at times. What you go to look for in sokoto, is right inside your sokoto. Only ask God to make a way for you.

Good for you.. But hope u do know many are living with practically below a dollar a day?. IT has not been easy been a Nigerian at all. May God help us

Amen
God will make a way bro. Please dont lose hope. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth either. My parents are peasant farmers. Many times my siblings and I had slept on empty stomach. Have you ever bought Eba as takeaway and asked the seller to please put enough soup, then take it home, now make your own eba and add a little water to the soup so it would be enough and add some ingredients with it? We would now combine the eba I bought at the canteen with that made by self at home. That's what myself and siblings would eat. God can truly raise anyone.

It doesn't matter how OP looks or what kind of job he does. In America any job is respected, you make money, that's it. All I see OP is very happy to be an American and to feel equal with the President or whoever, white, yellow or black. He is talking about not exactly his personal success, some made it bigger, he talks about feeling respected as an American and not put down as many Nigerians. He feels as a human being same as any on this planet, not less. He talks about being in his own country nobody and now he is a well respected citizen. America gives people that, to feel equal, freedom.

Yet, I agree with another posting saying you can make it in your own country, Nigeria, maybe only few, maybe it's more effort (I'm not sure about effort, America is hard on new immigrants), the other posting says you can make it and well in your home country. But I don't know, somehow the poster saying stay at home, God will help, sounds to me as political propaganda.

Babyvet:
You are talking absolute rubbish. You have obviously never been to America before you started writing. The black man is not equal with the president neither is he equal with any white man.

123JohnF:
I am an American. The black man in America can be whatever he wanna be, even a President.

Oga, go and sleep . You know nothing about America.
