Nigerians do every kind of job, depending on the situation they find themselves. if you are going to overstay your visa, be ready to do the jobs you have never dreamnt you would do in your lifetime for at least 2 years. If you are hardworking and you can endure, you would be able to feed yourself , cloth yourself, eat whatever you want, afford a cheap car and get some savings ,however FREEDOM you would never get until your status changes.

[quote author=pseudonomer post=81366694]Secondly, some people are showing off fake lives on social media... and they know you coming to them will be “casting”. This is why you’d notice, that uncle that promised to come pick you at the the Airport never showed up or reachable. And some people are always believing you’re going to be a burden to them during your first few months and they are actually finding it difficult themselves.

this happens alot lol

They only discourage when they know you are coming to over stay your visa.Experience is the best teacher, i am sure that at some point they have encouraged someone to leave naija and when that person got to either uk or usa , that person saw that life isnt a bed of roses at all, hence they we blamed for not been 100% truthful about leaving without papers in another country. but like i tell people , instead of discouraging just tell them how it is and tell them how you can help, do not promise what you cannot do.

are you just noticing ? so why are you bored? have you tried talking to your partner about the lack of good communication between you two? if you are looking to talk about this with someone , you can reach me on whatsapp +19087372941
some of us have been in your shoes at some point and we scaled through but one thing im sure about is that talking to someone about his helps alot.

I swear alot of crazy pple here

hows the whatsapp group going ? Are there equal amount of genders ?

either you get a student visa or a fiancee visa , those are your options .

black Americans aka akata are not the easiest people to live especially if they know your from Africa, it will take a miracle to find a level headed one, one mistake that you think can be overlooked can never be over looked by them , on the other hand if you give them 100% love and honesty they will worship you , just dont make them angry.. like i said , its easier said than done. everything is sweet online but when you guys start living together , true colors will show up .
as per loan , just forget it , its none of your business.
And whatever naija mentality you have please leave it at muritala airport because she will never understand it.

Blastedholligan:
Thanks alot for your input, but I wish to ask; what are the dangers of living with an akata with a kid? Any issue involved? And how do I get these right papers with and without her help? I just wanna weigh my options to see what I can do here.

Firstly, you do not have to pay for her debts, its a loan of a life time and most of them do not pay it all back during their life time.

now your concerns should be

1) how to fund your schooling over there
2) can you actually live with an akata with one kid, think about this one very deeply, itas easier said than done.
3) are you ready to be a bread winner cos thats what your signing up for although its going to be 50/50

FYI, if you eventually make it over there with the right papers, you will get a job that will cater for your family in naija properly. Plus your generations will always have dual citizenship which is a gift to any child .

There's this sweet Akata I met on fb, we are getting along well and she's thinking we could spend our lives together. She's a single mother of one, older than me with one year and a medical assistant. Now the problem is, she doesn't really earn too much and she has accumulated alot of loans that could amount to 50k dols and she wants to acquire another to study at the University for 4years, calculating all these could amount to like 150k dols and I've not even talked about my own cos I'll have to sponsor myself through school. Another issue is that I don't think I'm really ready to settle down cos I really need to hustle and make money to help my family if I eventually travel before marrying and I intend on doing a course here in Nigeria for Digital Marketing to help me secure a nice job. My problem now is, I'm scared of marrying someone who has acquired these loans cos Las Las na me go still follow pay wetin I no sabi. Please, I need a clear guide on what I should do cos I don't wanna be selfish here with her by using her to get to the USA, I'm very willing to let go of her if I have very good reasons to.

Pardon my scattered words.

Cc: justwise, lalasticlala

sure, I had my hnd done in yabatech , and then proceeded to have my Msc done at the university of Hertfordshire UK, but i added one professional certificate to my application , so maybe you should find a professional certification that relates to what you actually want to study for your masters . but tbh try the USA, after your program you still have a year to look for a job, but in UK, you're coming back home immediately after your program.

I have been wondering if there is any HND certificate holder who is studying masters Directly abroad without PGD or pre-masters. I really need your advice. I hold an HND cert. from a federal polytechnic in Nigeria with a distinction in electrical engineering and I am willing to continue my studies abroad.

Sad tho ! But going back to Naija would only frustrate you along the line ... and tbh with u, the best gift you can give your kids now is dual citizenship... find a way to do it by all means .,because later in the future they would ask why u gave up on doing it ...
meanwhile , I’ll advice u go to another state (probably NJ,Newark) and find a way to get better jobs and save up .. I’m sure u know what to save up for !!
If u are tired of that .... find your way to the Canadian boarder and file for refugee claimant ! U must have a valid reason to file for refugee claimant !

I made a reservation for a hotel in NJ with my family .. plan on paying when I get to the hotel with my bank card .. I’d like to find out if this kind of reservation wouldn’t be an issue at the POE .

Would be better if they have a marriage certificate or they should just go for fiancé visa ..
Tourist visa might not work out ...
a lot of events has occurred in 2017 for ur friends hubby ..

Naaakua:
I think she has posted her story on Nairaland before but still wanted to help.

Hello Good Afternoon,

I have come again but now on behalf of a friend that is more than a sister.
A long story hopefully you will read and understand. Please and thank you in advance.

Questions and a little detail about her situation. She is married traditionally, no traditional marriage celebration yet but bride price is already paid and all. Her traditional and white wedding celebration is coming up July next year. She resides in the United States and she is a US citizen, she will be graduating school next year may 2018 and she wants to invite her husband to come to her graduation and after the graduation, they will both return to Nigeria for their marriage preparation and celebration with their families including me (because she has picked me as her maid of honor), because that is where our both parents live and also her husband is still in theological school in Nigeria, due to the fact that he is on the road to becoming a priest and next year will be his last year before he can be Ordained. They don't want to jeopardize all the years he has put in for his passion.
The main story is that my friend's school offers invitation letter to present at the immigration to family members and loved ones to attend graduation from outside the country. Her concern according to her and she confiding in me, is that before her husband married her traditionally, he had gone to the US embassy twice (in a space of two weeks) for a conference visa to attend a church conference that the church wanted him and his Mentor (Archdeacon) to attend and the church was sponsoring the trip but he was denied both times. The first time he got denied, he said that the interviewer told him he was too young (34 years old), but the church decided to send him back again to the embassy since the mentor they paired him up with to go to the conference got his visa, they thought that with that influence that the embassy will also issue him a visa since it was both of them that they are sending to the conference. The second time he was told that the conference is not enough reason to be going to America. The ironic thing is that the church sent him and his mentor on the same conference, but the mentor got the visa based on the conference that he was denied a visa. My question now is, since she wants her husband to come for her graduation ceremony, and she doesn't have family or loved ones here to attend and she is an only child. Her first graduation, no one was there for her including me because I had traveled which I felt bad that I wasn’t there for her. She felt so lonely and sad because everyone else had their family and loved ones with them but she didn't. Her heart desire right now is that she wants her husband to be present at her graduation and after which both of them can travel back to Nigeria for the wedding ceremony and all before she can petition for her husband to come live with her in the United States since she is a US citizen.
Question 1:
Please do you think that his previous appearance to the embassy will have any impact on him going again to the embassy since her husband went there already twice, but this time around with the invitation that my school will give to him. Or should she just forfeit him coming for her graduation which will be a dream come true for her, and just fill fiancé Visa for him after their wedding in July 2018 or just fill for Green Card for him?

Note please she also gave me details about his previous application:
The first time he was denied on the 27th of Sept 2017, but the church scheduled an appointment for him (in space of two weeks) again in the notion that the Archdeacon that they are sending both of them to the conference got his visa. So he went for a second interview on 18th of October 2017.
In his ds160 form, she said that that husband said to her that, he put married because he was married (paid bride price) to a girl which things didn't work out with both reasons being that the previous girl (wife) couldn't cope with the church traditions, rules, and regulations. The girl’s family returned the bridal price to him at the end of September 2017 after 7 to 8 months of separation because the family wanted the girl's happiness. Within this period, my friend has traveled to Nigeria, the husband proposed to her, they got engaged and he married traditionally in November 2017 and they are now waiting for their white wedding and court wedding next year after her graduation. Which both of them plan to return to Nigeria together for the rest of the celebration, where both of their parents, family members, and friends are.
My friend's husband to what I understand is that he has to do a white wedding in Nigeria before he can be ordained a priest because that is the only wedding the church recognizes. Also if he leaves Nigeria without finishing his theological school, he will lose his chances of becoming ordained as a priest after putting in his 6 years in. I heard that he is very passionate about his ministry work.
Now my friends greatest fear is that she doesn't know what will happen if or when he goes back to the embassy with the invitation letter from her school here in the States to attend her graduation. If the interviewer would think or look at him like he is desperate to go to the United States when that is not the case. she doesn't know what to do, my friend is highly in limbo, cries and has sleepless nights about this situation.

Question 2:
Her husband has never done a white wedding or court wedding before. She stated that he can't get a divorce paper being that there was never a court wedding involved before or white wedding in his previous marriage. Does he have to get a letter stating that he is no longer married to the first girl (wife) or what can he do?


Question 3:
If it is possible for her husband to attend her graduation if he is filling out the Ds160 application again, what should he do or should he put my friends name as his wife even though there is no court marriage yet until July next year but he has pictures and their upcoming invitation for their wedding in Nigeria, and remove the first name he put in the previous application because he is no longer married to the first girl. Does he have to get a letter stating that he is no longer married to the first girl (wife) or what can he do?


I wish her well and I pray that her happiness will be complete soon because she really helped me when I was going through mine as well.
Any advice will be gladly appreciated
Please and thank you, help a sister/ a great friend in need.

I came back to ask on her behalf here on nairaland because this was where I got help when I needed my husband to come to the United States to live with me and our baby, I am a born US citizen. Which nairaland helped me and I am happily living with my husband in the states now.
Thank you[i][/i]

goodday everyone in this house ..I'm new here have been following you guys from sometime now ..i have a very serious and complicated .I dont want to leave any stone untouch ..first in 2015 I contracted an agent which applied for a visiting visa and he filled I was married , working , earning about 600k.. and I was denial secondly in same 2015 December my uncle brought one 419 agent to apply for a student visa and the guy was bragging that he has some one in the embassy that will wipe all my previous details because I told him what I have been through , I knew he was lying since I wasnt the one paying I allowed him little did I know he was causing more harm than good ..this time he filled i was single ,not working , not married, I was still denial...It was then my uncle knew he brought a scam ..to cut the long story short , since December 2015 I haven't applied ..now I want to apply with my financee .my financee has gone to Dubai 2016 ,in August we want to Ghana together for the sister convocation .and I have been to tanzania..i now have travel history ..we want to apply as couple we are lion member we want to attend lion day with the UN in march 2018 we are thinking of applying jenuary ..Please house what advise do you have for me

Too many lies over the years will affect your visa acceptance.
My advice is if you ever want to to travel to USA, use this opportunity to come out clean ... state all the obvious lies you've lied in the past and come out with who you really are and your true intentions .
Do not expect sympathy tho ..
but never say never ! GOODLUCK

charaph:
Hello guru in the house, please I need a candid advice on what to do and our chances of getting nthe visa. I intends to apply for visiting visa with my FAMILY. Below are my present status

1.No traveling experience by either me or my family.

2. We are Six in the family(Me,My wife and 4-Kids)

3.I work with multinational company with salary 370k

4.I have landed property with receipt and survey documents

5. We don't have any body in the USA.

6. Why we are traveling to USA is because of my children who have been disturbing me that they love to visit where nickelodeon actor/actress do act their film and meet some characters they love and book hotel close to the place.
7.My wife is a fashion designer.

Please kindly assist with feedback ASAP

Two things might work against you ..
1) your monthly salary seems to low to cater for a family of six for vacation
Airline ticket is already nothing less than 2.7million naira for all of you ..
2) no travel experience for neither of you .(can be overlooked tho)

Nevertheless if you want to try, go ahead ! Say the truth and be confidence bout it . Don't pay agent ooo!! GOODLUCK if you eventually want to go for it ..

Pidgin2:
From your attitude I wonder what you are looking for here, remember it's mostly Nigerians on this forum and if our country is so dispicable that you can't spend a day in it if it can be helped then we also should be despicable to you because we live here so explain why you spend your valuable time arguing with despicable people?

27 people were killed over the weekend with many injured, that's the American life, a life where someone can blow off your head in the twinkle of an eye. Is that the false peace you are trying to make us feel exist? Your president suggested that mental sickness is the reason why these sort of killings occur, so in truth you live in a place where mentally deranged people own guns and you think you are safer than us?

Be careful because the next hurricane might destroy your house and everything you claim to own

In Nigeria successful middle class people that can prove they have ties to the country will be given visas to any country in the world, the last time I checked no country restricts Nigerians with valid visas from entering and if the average Nigerian was not brain washed by you guys that paint false pics of eldorado abroad they wouldn't sell their birthrights by going to live as illegal migrants abroad. When this happens they will be granted entry to various countries without need of visas.

As for using kerosene stoves, when last did you hear of scarcity of the commodity? Betwen many city dwellers use gas. Candles? Smh

Yes 27 people were killed during the weekend but pls check instablog and see the amount of ritualistic , rapist, murderers they post in a month ...every country has its own ups and down ... Bigeria is worse abeg !!

spartacus11:
Yankee guys live off crime over they, or u thing we don't know majority of goods dey send to Nigeria to sell are stolen goods.

How many yankee person really dey make their money through hard work less dan 0.1℅, and those that do nor dey fit even send money come naija frequently

Those making mouth and showing us balance are fraud or female as.ss lickers, prostitute drug niggas, thief and human traffickers

Where's your statistics coming from ?
Have you bothered to google world top ten most corrupt country ? Try and see where Naija lies lol ..
Meanwhile why should anyone work and send money to people in Nigeria .. I don't know why people think it's a must to send money to Nigeria or to show off ...
So u actually think it's that easy to commit crime in Yankee and get away free ... you're kidding me

spartacus11:
Tell us about yankee people

DRUGS

THEFT

HUMAN TRAFFICKING

FORTIFICATIONS OF DOCUMENT

DOPING PEOPLE IN NIGERIA WHEN THEY SEND MONEY TO HELP THEM BY GOODS,

PROSTITUTION

GAY

MARRYING OLD LADIES

Yankee people nor be una crime worst pass

And all those crimes you listed out don't exist in every other country in the world yeah ?

The things Nigerians call "living the life " is just out of the ordinary and unnecessary..

Pidgin2:
Yes you can. There are gate men, house helps, mechanics and others on menial jobs who have families here and they are thriving fine. One can plan life anywhere as long as income is coming. Haven't you heard of cleaners in Nigeria even petty traders that trained graduates?

Define "thriving fine amongst people that are doing menial jobs in Naija" ...
Most average earners are even scared when it's times to pay school tuition for their kids ..

I don't see it as thriving fine when a mechanic struggles to build a one bedroom bungalow in a dilapidated area in Ifo for his wife and kids to live in while he goes to ipaja for a week to work ...
His family is def not feeding well , the school is thrash , the environment is dirty , no treats for the kids , no park walk , don't even let's talk bout electricity in such remote areas ...
That's struggling in a system that's not working ...

timesup234:
forget pig story. You are actually describing most nigerians living in america. They are the pig in a deep hole in this your story. Come to Ajah and see young igbo traders under 40yrs buying a house for 40million cash. No week we dont see a new buyer. Come and see real estate lawyers cashing out millions as percentage you can only dream about. Come and see young civil engineer contractors making millions monthly and you will regret ever leaving this country blessed with all that life has to offer. You guys didnt see that part of Nigeria hence your rush to america. It is never too late to pack your luggages and head back to the land of millionaires and achievers

Can you see how u elevated them igbo boys sellin spare parts and buying houses in ajah ?
That's the same way some other dude woulda elevated "Evans " the kidnapped with different houses he has in magodo not know it was all kidnapping money ...

Too much shady things going on in Nigeria that we don't know how some people even got their money ...

True ... if u go to Yankee illegally you'll get a menial job which the pay would be shitty ..but with that shitty pay you'll pay all the bills and be left with mere nothing... it's not how long you can endure and make good use of that "mere nothing" till it becomes something for to get what you need and move on in life over there ...
people don't relocate cos of financial stuffs .. they relocate cos it's a system that works ..
All I've been reading is mostly bout "how much u get for bank " bla bla bla ..

A menial job in Yankee will pay your bills and put shelter on ur head comfortable ...
Meanwhile a teller job in Nigeria will not do all that

You're comparing people at top management in Nigeria to a menial job in Yankee ..unreasonable!!

During my masters in U.K. .. I was a car park attendant for a year , I earned £1200 a month
Accommodation: £400
Transport for a month £80
Food for a month £60
Gas and elec for a month £120
End of I still have £500 in my pocket for that month to do whatever I like ..

Can u be a car park attendant in Nigeria and do all that ?

Don't be naive with this topic .. yes menial jobs are stressful and hard .. no one said it isn't and the pay is frustrating cos of the labor involved but end of youre working for a system that works ..
If anyone wants to relocate anyhow , be ready to endure for nothing less than a year ..if you're not lazy you'll get on your feet , if you're lazy .. GOODLUCK ..
If u don't want to relocate, enjoy Naija and keep the country going the way u like

Male
No travel experience
A caterer that barely earns 150k a month
Single

Any logical chance of him getting a tourist visa ?

seyewest:
