Now this alone might get some people to hear negative advise to discourage them from going abroad.

Anyone willing to risk to travel abroad on a tourist visa and have hidden plans to stay behind beyond their legal presence should be ready to provide their own accommodation.

Hmmm...this doesn't always work that way.

In fact, some people have used such tactics to lie to their abroad host and when later found out the end results were very unpleasant.

cheesy Maybe the guy had a really bad case of BO and nobody was willing to put up with him.

If we are going by stories then there are more than enough of such stories about Nigerians welcoming newcomers.

Yes, you're right.

People living abroad should not be discouraging anyone to come abroad too...but they should also remind those coming from Naija that if incase they need their help when they indeed get abroad, they should not be surprised if they are not able to offer to help them settle abroad.

How's that? cheesy

When you finally made it abroad then you will see the reality of life why some people find if difficult to help.

Okay, I don't think it's the helping that some Nigerians abroad are not willing to do

I think it's the lack of trust that most Nigerians already have with each other that somehow goes to affect the type of help they are willing to offer.

BTW, just in living in Nigeria...how many Nigerians really trust and help each other genuinely? undecided

There are several Nigerian communities overseas.

It is good to give and receive help but I think it is best for any newcomer to go in not depending on the help they will receive from others. Any help will then be seen as a bonus and not a necessity.

For better or for worse, life in the West is largely an independent affair.

Please Adebayo is an exception not the rule. Man went to Oxford, HBS and HLS. Worked with Goldman and Credit Sussie. Compared to the Indians, they're gazillions of their "Adebayos". So Ednut1 is right regarding creating jobs. Moreover, he's a general partner of the PE not the owner. Global Infrastructure Partners (owners of the airports) is different from Adebayo (GP of the firm). A company is different from whoever is the CEO.

Regarding the aspect of Nigerians not helping, I'll say it's due to the distrust phenomenon amongst us. Most are afraid the newcomers will incur additional costs, might commit crime and worst of all - don't contribute financially to the household. Unless blood relations, it can be difficult to accommodate a newcomer for a long time. The best option if you desire relocating is through education. Apply to top schools (provided you have what it takes), get funded and holla! You are in the US. That uncle of yours will be forced to reckon with you. Imagine informing him impromptu that you are in UC Berkeley. shocked He'll be startled!

Trust me, success has many friends

Most nigerians would consider this "discouragement". You can't win with Nigerians. By "encouragement" they mean help them beat the system illegally, put them up and help with their expenses, irrespective of what negative impact that has on them as the host.

No!!...that's a very bad advise. embarassed

It is not easy for most Africans to use that route and think they can settle that easy amongst undocumented Latinos residing in the US.

Most of those Latinos take priorities of helping their own than with any other race.
calm down and read my post again. I was talking about the Latinos no Africans

This Nigerian mentality is the exact reason i will avoid Nigerians like plaque if am opportuned to travel outside this country.
I am going to live in States or provinces with very little or no Nigerians because the average Nigerian man does not want a fellow Nigerian to succeed abroad
Not only abroad, even here in Nigeria. They don't want us to succeed

Indians and Chinese are incomparable...... Those guys are too much, you can't compare them with africans. They soo much loves themselves I agreed to that.

In brampton Canada majority of the house there is occupied by Indians, they will clearly tell you they want only Indian.... Even jobs too, if India is the boss, majority of workers will be Indians.
Same with the Chinese

Nigerians have no trust in each other
We envy/jealous ourselves alot
The rich dont want you to be like them, even come close

On Monday, a new batch of Nigerian migrants will be deported from Germany to Nigeria.

The migrants are expected to leave Frankfurt Airport at 8 am and land in Nigeria’s Murtala Mohammed International Airport around 2 pm and 3 pm.

Although the number of migrants has not been ascertained, it was, however, reported that migrants will be picked randomly from different accommodation centres.

Last month two batches of Nigerians were sent back home from the European country.

“The flight will be from Frankfurt on Monday. For those who have been given the information, the plane will take off by 8 am and arrive in Nigeria between 2 pm and 3 pm.

“Those who will be deported will be picked randomly from their different accommodation centres from 3 am till 5 am in different regions and conveyed to a central place and finally to Frankfurt Airport,” the Co-ordination Activist for Network Refugees 4Refugees, a political platform for refugees/migrant self-organization based in
Stuttgart, Germany, Rex Osa, told The Nation.

Osa added, “When their asylum application is already expired, they are obligated to leave the country.

“For those who don’t leave voluntarily, they will be given a what is I can translate in English to mean toleration status. This status is not a resident title; it is to show that the person is still there because the deportation is hindered because of one reason or the other.

“These people are picked up early in the morning without expecting the police.

“Some would be picked up from work also. When the police arrive in their rooms, they would be allowed to pack things not more than say 64 kilos. The police will be standing to make sure the person does not
escape.”

The activist urged the federal government to come to the aid of the victims as many of them are coming with a myriad of challenges.

“Among these people are many sick people. Nigeria should be expecting a lot of people who have psychological problems, and people with spinal cord problems leading to paralysis.”

As a Jjc, you don’t have to live with anyone..that’s why there’s Airbnb. There’s google for the information you need to get around, if you intend to migrate legally and have the funds, nobody will discourage you because it’s not their business.

If you intend to migrate illegally, I don’t understand why you think somebody that won’t house you is wicked.

Do what you want, but leave others out of it.

Nobody does, it’s easier to help someone that has an idea of what they’re walking into, than someone that is looking at the world through rose tinted glasses.

Why do you want to move to another country without thinking of your own accommodations? I’m in Canada, and Nigerians here help each other network and stuff like that, but definitely not a leeeching relationship.
