the person interviewing him is an idiot. so you interview him and blast his story on the internet why ? just give him money and move on with your life. but this guy looks very shell shocked. his story is the story of many stupid nigerians who think money is picked on the streets of yankee. then they see the rigours of yankee and their mind cant handle it and they get shell shocked. true story, so I was dating this nigerian girl in london. she had been in london for a while. then she brought her junior brother over to london. arrogant lil prick like the typical nigerian. as soon as he land he kept saying in less than a year he would achieve more than we could ever achieve in london and that we dont know how to hustle blah blah blah. I saw the guy after 10 years stay in london he was living in a council estate in london and had turned into a weed head and had no money. 8 Likes |

timesup234: It’s not all rosy here... agreed once a person gets legal, no matter what, he or she may not be rich but will be able to put a roof over his or her head, eat well, live more comfortably than his or her peers in Naija, but to get to that legal level, u need a lot of support and you don’t get here and get support easily. Hmmmmmm... I can’t emphasize this enough, IF SOMEONE HERE SENT FOR YOU, THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THE PERSON WILL HELP YOU NAVIGATE THE SYSTEM, but if you sent yourself here, just because u get visa, U GO HEAR AM!!! I don’t care how much you have on you, even if you have $10,000 to $50,000 that money go finish and you won’t achieve anything. A person who makes $2,000 monthly from a job and has his or her papers is more stable than someone who came from Naija with $50,000 in his or her pocket and not legal. The system is nothing like Naija...... it’s just the way here... 1 Like |

judgementyard: It all depends on so many factors. The city that he is in. The connects that he has made The kind of people he lived in when he first arrived. Information that he is exposed to and so many other stuff. As for renting an apartment, that is the hardest thing to do even if he has all the money in the world but dont have papers. |

franchasng: First of all, I am very sorry for the 11 willing souls who are so determined to get lost that liked the gabbage u posted here As I read thru all u wrote, one thing kept screaming at me, u have never been to the US before and it is screaming to me from all u wrote 1. 90% of Nigerians do odd jobs? Who did the survey? How did you arrive at 90? Please provide a statistically varified link for all to see 2. So every professional job here for Naija is medical right? Where are the lawyers, engineers, teachers, professors, real estate pros? 3. assured of $5 per hour which is rare? How much does your African restaurant owners pay Naija people working for Per hour? 4. America is where all dreams come true, so the millions who are homeless in most cities don’t have dreams abi? Or all are lazy? 5. U never really been to US because u are calculating $5 * 360 to equate living standards here in naira. $5/ hr won’t rent a room 4 u 6. U convert dollars to naira to conclude A laborer here is better than a bank manager in Naija. $2,000 here is same as N50,000 in 9ja 7. Land of dreamers, bro, all the dreamers Obama gave temporary work permit who are now out of status, where is their dream today? 8. With $7.25 minimum wage, how can u see your financial life clearly after $600 goes to rent, utilities take $500, before feeding? 9. A man making N150k Monthly that money is equivalent of $6,000 per month here as per purchasing power, that na Oga salary here o 10. I take God beg una, do not let this man deceive u guys, if u come here and fail, shame no go let u return to Naija, u will get stuck Just like millions of immigrants who got fooled by Hollywood, don’t listen to this guy who wrote nonesense here, be wise, a bird at hand is worth more than 1 million in the bush. America is indeed a dream, because the wealth u acquire in a dream Is lost once u wake up. Be wise! 5 Likes |

gypsey: How many US citizens born here with no drug problem, no criminal history, with high school or associates and willing to work earn decent wages? Before you argue, if you really live in America, go to your local work source and find out, na people like u dey make others resign their well paying jobs in Naija to become destitutes here and when they call u, u will block them on WhatsApp, and be laughing at their misfortune inside ur bedroom. The promise u just made right now, even Trump cannot promise US citizens that... guy, repent oooo 1 Like |

orunmila144: Who tell u say uber no dey verify you add social security?. Uber will ask you on your application to submit a US state issued Driver License. How can you have a photo ID or DL in the USA when you do not have at least a work permit in 2019 ? 20 years ago, with just your Naija passport only, u can go to your local DPS, they will give you a State photo ID, even driver license.... today, that can’t happen. I have a church member I am currently mentoring Who drives Uber part time and attends college too. When he was trying to set up his account, he was actually using my iPad, I saw it live he had to enter his social security number, that was when I realized even Uber will ask u for SSN. |
