SIRTee15:I see your point But the good outweighs the bad for the United States tho The standards of living is good, very good, but it could be much better... But I daresay That there is NO other country in the world that so many foreign born people made it so good like you see in the aUSA it's the land of opportunity and free market ![]() |

InvertedHammer:you know the American population is very high and a 15% poverty rate of say 330m people will show But still It's not all bad in the USA tho many many people still climb upward like upward social mobility if one is really ready to work and hustle towards it.... Watched a documentary on YouTube of one Mexican immigrant with his wife each working two jobs and living frugal for SIX years prior to setting up theye own business I the supply chain for Mexican restaurants in Los Angeles now they worth $8m years after.... such success stories are there. |

pansophist:Chai, when you see enlightened, educated and well fed people argue or pass across their points, it can be so refreshing to read My brother or is it sister, the way you wrote actually showed you're indeed at peace wherever you are. Nairaland would have been like quora if we have more of your likes instead of the average angry Nigerian that come here to vent their frustration with the terrible system we operate in the country |

Sirmuel1:These people do not have the mental capability to understand that USA is not the only country in world. |

pussyeater:If you are USA citizen, what stops you from making your country one of the greatest in the world? USA was not created great however men made it "greatest" as you have posited. |

Kingkun69:And you are fixated and desperate to live in the US, Because that,to YOU, Is your SALVATION.. Someone from a Country with a higher standard of living than the US, Why should he be desperate to live in the US? Or are you telling me that if your Per Capita income is $40,000 in a functional society, You would would be desperate to leave THAT and live in a country with a lower standard of living in the region of $25,000? Or indeed do you presume that the US has the HIGHEST STANDAR OF LIVING in the world? |

Ugosample:I agree America remains the best place for immigrants to achieve fast upward mobility.... But it's also becoming a place where immigrants stuck at the bottom gets to struggle a lot... Minimum wage is poor n social safety net is non existent... As an immigrant, it's either u work your ass off or u die trying... There are no other options... In other western nations, immigrants can choose to be lazy or mediocre at best, and still find a place within the system to survive n even get by.... |

I have been to and lived in all the countries mentioned on this thread and I can authoritatively tell anyone that is willing to listen that Nigeria is indeed the greatest country in the world if you really open your eyes and see the opportunities.. next is America because opportunities are endless, The UK should be the bottom of the list.. Don’t say I am just saying rubbish, I have evidence to back up my theory |

timesup234:Bros...are you comparing Nigeria to usa? Nigeria where an average citizen can easily die from a mere leg injury... Weak education standard Weak medical standard Weak infrastructure Retardeddd leaders from A to Z Backward system Lack of security of any kind Lack of direction or vision Lack of food Lack of employment opportunities Lack of water supply Lack of power supply And many more... For sure, whatever it is that you’re smoking is extremely strong...You should check yourself into a rehab....nothing else makes sense FYI:Trump on his worst day is still better than the best leader in Nigeria (past or present). When we are talking about decent countries, pls don’t mention Nigeria.. |

SIRTee15:why would an immigrant decide to be medocre or lazy in the first place? that's why these Muslim irritants like Europe you are not PRODUCTIVE at all but still get generous benefits benefit are ok But it's creating disincentive to be PRODUCTIVE and hardworking Someone has ti pay for those generous benefit and guess who is paying? Europe is heading to the abyss if they continue in this manner (with the exception of say Germany and some other countries ) |

naijjaman:It's a good thing that you posted a link. You don't have to live in NY to know It's public info. I know you live in Ngr that's I used the word "guess" Research Tips: Learn to read the entire article and read slowly (the link you posted doesn't agree with what you posted) Compare with one or two other articles. That way you will be better informed. |

ogbonti:Thanks for bringing out those valid points, I noticed that those in these situation are too busy to be on this platform or prefer to be silent and want others to have a "taste", after others have had their taste, they keep mute. Things have changed and many are in a labyrinth, some in emotional and mental distress. True some have succeeded but the margin is getting slimmer by the day and for now I won't advise any on that path. It was frustrating to witness a distant relative with 2 kids deploying all his resources just because of papers, he was combating suicidal thoughts, it later went through but not worth it in his own words. Going through K1, CR1, or IR1 is a better route. |

SIRTee15:Your head correct, spot-on brotherly. Only poverty-stricken people will consider the US as an ideal place to immigrate to, or those who are grossly misinformed about the current state of the US, who still hold the long-gone American dream illusion. I know few illegal Americans here in the Netherlands, they came as a tourist, some on a one-year working holiday visa, their eye got cleared that America is a shithole, and refuse to go back. The smart one gets an English job or looks for a girlfriend to legalize themselves, them full Germany as well. Of course, the US has lost of billionaires, but how does it affect the life of the ordinary man? or does Dangote being a Billionaire means Nigerians are rich? the way some people de think eh, e go be like say make I carry pestle hammer them mouth ![]() |

Hadampson:Even ordinary Nigeria has discrimination in form of nepotism, and along religious lines. |
| Re: Fleeing To The US ... A Word To The Wise. by alphaNomega: 1:32pm On Jul 25, 2019 |
pansophist:I swear people calling "the American dream bla bla bla" and the ones saying "Nigeria is the giant of Africa" are in the same WhatsApp group. All that is past glory, today in 2019 things have changed!! |
| Re: Fleeing To The US ... A Word To The Wise. by willian10: 1:46pm On Jul 25, 2019 |
pansophist:It’s hard for me to believe, so I had to google it myself before saying anything, well the screenshot u sent might be possible if u won a promo or something Tho I know it’s easy to fly between EU countries But the prices u mentioned are ridiculous

ogbonti:You are right, an ex of mine is currently in the US with kids and she is planning to do the marriage stuff, another friend of mine is also in NY with the same plans, I told them that they should be careful because the US government already knows all the arrangee stuff, I don't see them scaling through due to the current Trumps stands on visa abusers, they might end up heading to canada for Aduro |

simonjo:Do you live in US? Answer the question Mr Know it all. I don't have to live in NY to better inform you about what's going on in the world. Be aware that living in Nigeria is not a crime also. Stop making a junk of yourself and accept the correction about the minimum wage in New York. You also need to know that minimum wage in US vary state by state. |

DarkJeddi:why are you getting sooo worked up and aggressive you are still in naija with me the only difference is I have us passport or u want to see it ![]() |
| Re: Fleeing To The US ... A Word To The Wise. by naijjaman(m): 2:15pm On Jul 25, 2019 |
simonjo:Continue to live in Portharcourt and blab about minimum wage in US you don't live in. Losers like you will quote only a section of what I wrote in order to show why you are still struggling in life. Again, stop telling people about what you don't know. |

Ugosample:I used to have the same orientation on socialist economy until I saw the evil of brutal capitalism as practiced in the USA... Let's face fact.... Everybody cannot be rich.... Everybody can't go to uni to study machine learning or data science- these are careers that can fetch u 200 thousand dollars fresh out of school... Not everyone will turn their ingenuity to creativity.... Not everyone has the skill to navigate the tough waters of entrepreneurship.... What's happening right now in America is that they producing millionaires faster than any other country in the world..... America boasts of 14 million millionaires, the closest country in 2nd place is China with 3 million millionaires-the difference is clear..... But yet in the same America, middle class Americans have to work 2 jobs with both couples fully employed to pay for mortgage.... If u know the true meaning of the American dream as it existed in the 60s, u will know America is gradually losing it.... American median wages is nothing to write home about... 70% of Americans earn below 50 thousand dollars, while the median wage is 30 thousand dollars... That's pathetic, when compared to other western countries... In the future, the American social class will either be the wealthy elites or the struggling working class... There has to a balance, ordinary citizens needs to be protected... That's not happening in America and it's wrong... |
| Re: Fleeing To The US ... A Word To The Wise. by Beautyaddy: 2:34pm On Jul 25, 2019 |
AngelicBeing:Hmmm...those people really needs the help of a lawyer to scale through. As long as they can perform their best act of proving to the immigrant officers that their marriage is genuine I don't see them having any problems. Most important is that the couple must be living together, share a bank account and must be fillings joint taxes together...some of these things kind of show some genuinely about the marriage. |
| Re: Fleeing To The US ... A Word To The Wise. by Ugosample(m): 2:41pm On Jul 25, 2019 |
SIRTee15:I see your point But I doubt the median wage is 30k tho some of the things happening in America is not right ![]() But with time it will be corrected supply side economics that the criminal republicans introduced to the American space caused this problem in the first place |
