I
I got into Toronto a few days ago, on holidays, will be in the US for some time too from next week, come and see "saner climes" na. I just picked up my gadget now to update myself about home. I'm phased, annoying news everywhere. Amotekun, what about it? What happened in Imo today please? I just hope I'm able to see my kids through Secondary School before shipping them out of Nigeria to their "homes", I pray. I have put too much in Nigeria, it saddens me today. Government has never put bread directly on my table, an enabling environment created by them in time past deserves my appreciation today when I reason them side by side this current one.

I won't waste energy right now saying much, but I will just say you guys are the biggest problem of Nigeria, Buharists particularly! Yeah, Nigeria is messed up long ago, but Buhari is the greatest disservice done our dear nation. Nigeria's "turn-around-maintenance" after him will take decades. Kill and shelve that nonsense hope of a better Naija, only a miracle will make that happen, please....

Nail on the head.

seyewest:


it's not about Abuja Connect, just know that everybody will not leave this country, some people are richer and better than us and still believe in this country.

I never mentioned anywhere that everyone will leave Nigeria as we all know that can never happen.

However, people will forever have different reasons why they choose to either stay or leave from a particular Country.

So yes, Nigeria is not meant for every Nigerian Citizen to enjoy living in just as any Country abroad is not meant for every Nigerian.

Lee310:
With all due respect.
Agreed.

But if I may ask, is UAE a third world war country compared to Nigeria ?

Leave story there... Nigeria will be great tho but think outside the box... When ?

We live in world where things are done super fast and the world has evolved so fast. I can remember when I was still young... what a computer looks like... what a phone looks like... Now embassy get fingerprint... Limited paper but everything is electronically communicated.

UAE gain independence 1971, Nigeria 1960

I don't know what to think of the elderly ones sef.

What do we have to show for ? Reproduction cos our population is increasing drastically... That's another joke for the decade.

If Nigeria is good, nobody will go overseas. Americans don't travel. Statistically, less than 5% of the population travels. So all of you saying, Nigerians are these and that... the best advice right here is that come home and setup a business here because we have the market already and don't work for the Oyinbos again. If I hear you come home.. All you do is social media gragra... You spoiling our names....story for the forefather who left through the badagry during the slave trade era. And they sold our fathers who might have built Nigeria to be like them

Don't forget the exchange rate oh... I have heard people who works with Oil company japa sef...
His Excellency GCFR M. Buhari goes to UK for medicals... So who are you then ? Let me burst your bubbles again, UK has a better healthcare system than US but because of the dual citizenship, people opted for US and Canada.

I have always said this. Please don't misuse your visa but if you want to do... All the best for you. I'm not in support PLEASE.

My advice, do what's best for you and be good. You will not live forever. Enjoy while it last. I come in peace.

Nigeria will be giant of Africa again... when our brothers and sister in diaspora comes back and denounce the other party

lol!...Keep waiting till forever with that wishful thinking.

What about the millions of Nigerians still leaving in Nigeria as we speak...why can't they make Nigeria to be the Giant of Africa again but have to wait for those living abroad to come back and do what

Thank you my sister... The problem here is that some people prefer to insult those who decided to stay in Nigeria which in my own opinion is unfair.

We are not well exposed to the first world war countries so we no sabi but ogas wey sabi can help build back our reputation but it seems that H1-B visa don't want them to come home again until they make all the money for Yankee. They don't want to give back to the Federal organizations

All of una with B1/B2 visa are just Olodos

Goan watch Rally for relief (Australian Open) they are donating steady...

I really don't understand what the need for the insults does...may be to make people feel guilty? I don't understand.

Even some people also throw insults on Nigerians who choose to live abroad and want nothing to do with Nigeria.

So you see it goes both ways.

Hi all. A quick one please

Does Etihad provide hotel for long hours layover in Abu Dhabi?

Hello fellow Nairalanders,
I have a quick question and I'm hoping y'all can help.

Not sure if there is a thread for mothers who are traveling on B1/B2 to help their children in the U.S take care of their grandkids. So I'm just going to post here since I didn't find the thread.

So I've invited my mum over, she was denied the first time she went. Told the VO she was staying for 4months (PS: She's 50 YO, has her own business and still married with another child in the University in Nigeria, she has never traveled out of Nigeria before as well) but still wasn't issued the Visa. According to what we filled in the DS160 I'm the one sponsoring the trip and I gave her my personal statement to take with her but the VO didn't even ask to see it nor did she collect it when she offered to show her.
Now my question is, she's going back in a few weeks and I need to know if I can just go ahead to reduce the length of stay to 4weeks and if that won't pose any issues.

Thanks.

Did she give you an idea of why she was denied?
And are you a citizen or GC holder?

I'm currently on H1B, my GC is currently in the works.
According to her, the moment she mentioned 4months the VO's countenance changed.
She was issued the generic paper that reads her intention to be in the U.S is not consistent with the Visa she applied for. (No home ties I suppose).

Hmmm...I think two months might seems more reasonable and believable to the VO than her reducing it drastically to just four weeks.

4 months stay means your mother will work in US, taking care of her grand kids it's considered also working, having family in US is well known your mother can overstay and later fix her green card when you become a citizen or you are a citizen already. Apply for your mother legal residence as your family member and she can go.

"Au pair" under J1 exchange but that's a long shot. Let her reapply and use the words "visit and see" not "take care". Technicalities in words. You can also reduce length of stay.

Oh no she told the VO she was going to visit her daughter and her grand child.
Also would you think 4 weeks is ideal so that when she's asked why she changed from 4 months to 4 weeks she can then say it was an error with the first application and she didn't realize until it was too late(meaning she had to stick to the initial info she had filled)?

seyewest:


The problem is that this decay is before 2015 if I'm right.... e don tey and anybody pinning his/her hope on any person/President in Nigeria is on a long thing, let us not let our hate blind us, this country will get it right one day not because of one person but because of stronger institution... till then.

The current fool we have in Aso Rock has damaged the country to a point of almost no repair

This punk ass goat is racking up debt for generations unborn to pay, while the infrastructural gap keep widening
Two problems in one that future Nigerians will have to deal with

That's one

His ethnocentric stance, his hypocrisy, diadai for the rule of law, and killing federal character, and giving cover to foreign fulani terrorists to terrorise the country

The list of his fvck up is very very long, and it will take time to repair
Decades may be

Other presidents were not the best

But this fool is flat out TERRIBLE

Leave am na

All these ones living in delusion

I remember some of tgem running their mouth in 2014/2015

When 2016 happened and they lost their jobs, and the "millions" they thought they had lost value via buhari foolishness

Many of them ran away

Some are back on Britain

Some are now illegals elsewhere

And the ones with stamina did express entry

Until Nigeria show you it's underbelly
You will continue to run mouth

Like he said
Let him b left alone

OmoBendel24:
All I have to tell you Buharists on this thread, is that, the way Embassies are treating us as at this day is a direct reflection of the hopes and prospects of that dream Nigeria we all have, basically. Deceive yourselves all you will. A brighter Nigeria post GMB is gonna be a lot of work no doubt!

As long as e no kill una, e no go fit still kill us. Abi una get special market, roads, schools, hospitals, electricity, etc wey una dey use wey different from the ones wey the rest of us dey use? You lot know the pains you'd never admit in the open for that FAILURE, you'd prefer to rather pretend, suffering and smiling, hoping for one elusive future of a better Naija!

I have noticed that all of us that know we can easily jettison Naija and run off when the chips are down actually make up the bulk of those with these false hopes, it's a bad one please. I can afford to do much for my family if push comes to shove, I have prepared the grounds for them, I have paid some reasonable dues for their future, they may not even be needing me that much, but how about the generality our people? Oh, please! Please all of you, please!!!

You have spoken well

What if the mother is not getting paid to take care of her grandkids

hmmm....And there are some Nigerians who are boasting and insisting that Buhari is the best person presently that can gradually turn Nigeria completely around for progress after decades upon decades of neglect from past administrations.

So what do we believe now.

4 weeks is reasonable and making months/weeks error is fairly common. What's your nationality? I'm not trying to make assumptions-- could be a factor too.

I think visiting shouldnt be more than 4weeks for a granny. its enough to see the child and get to know everyone. you know these oyibo they think wetin mama won do there for 4months

Beautyaddy:

Totally true. As for immigration services taking care of kids by a NO authorized to work alien even for free, it's this alien takes the job of an American or a legal resident because in case if there is no grand ma, the parents pay the day care or a nanny. It generates the internal revenue. However, if the grand ma is a legal resident, she can take care of her grand kids for free or being paid.

If your relatives are visiting the U.S. to take care of you and the baby, you would not be hiring the services of the daycare
provider. Therefore, you are considered depriving the U.S. workers of their work. Working on a tourist visa is not allowed as
your relatives are babysitting which is considered work. Babysitting is considered a job and the baby sitter is considered to be
working, whether the person is getting paid for it or not. In other words, the grandmother is working for free which is not
allowed.
If your relatives are helping you to take care of the housework, you are depriving the U.S. workers of their cleaning job.
If the intention of the relatives is to indeed help with babysitting and the housework, many of them would end up extending
their stay and would want to come frequently and stay excessively, all of those factors are against the actual intentions of the
visitors visa and the consular officers already know this. That is why it is a bad idea to mention pregnancy as the reason to visit
the U.S.
The consular officer is looking for improving the U.S. economy and people spending money on tourism and shopping by the
visitors, rather than loss to the economy in terms of babysitting and maid work and are also concerned about unauthorized
work.

I absolutely agree with you!
So the last time she appeared, she mentioned she was going to visit her daughter and grand child (told her to say that with the hope that it will increase her chances of getting the Visa), so now should she just say she's going to visit her daughter or stick with the whole daughter and grand child story?

It's already in her record. I doubt she will get any visa very soon. All COs will think or maybe even tell her, wait until your daughter becomes a citizen and petition you for residence, in the mean time your daughter with her kids can visit you in Nigeria. Sorry, it's the way it works for any country, not only Nigeria.
