You lie the only time hausa ventured massively in spare parts business in kaduna was when 1 alahaji imported many containers and empowered them to crash the igbo monopoly, they started selling cheaper to spite igbos not knowing it was igbos buying all their goods at cheaper rate, when they ran out of stocks and couldn't restock igbos resumed selling at even higher price cause they have caused artificial scarcity

Good news!!

Your brother is not honest with you. You need to have a deep conversation with him. Someone giving you zobo about work and travel will not accommodate and feed you for 90 days.
You cannot work in the US except you have work authorization or you are a citizen. A visit visa doesn't allow you to work. If you even get the visa and you are questioned at PoE, your visa will be canceled and you will be deported. 3 year ban will follow.
No company will even employ you without SSN or EAD.
This is grounds for the embassy to deny you and flag your profile for subsequent applications.
No VO will approve an application if your intention is to go and work for 3 months. And "Summer" is over. Its Fall going to Winter in the US right now.

You have the right to apply for any visa to the US, but there are conditions you must meet to get the visa approved. A visit visa is for holiday purposes. Not work.
There are work visas available for you to apply, but do you qualify. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wizard.html

He is my immediate elder brother so I don't think accommodating or feeding me for 90 days would be such an impossible sacrifice, even though I can still contribute.

He has been working in America just like many other Nigerians who are not citizens. He told me of different people he has met that came to America and worked for a few months before returning to Nigeria and they all came with either visiting or tourism visa. He has absolutely no reason not to be honest with me.

Of course, I won't tell them at POE that my intention was to work in the US, that will be foolish na. If summer is over, I can wait for another summer.

Thanks for your inputs, I'm not desperate anyways just that he told me about it during one of our conversations and I decided to research more on it. I will also check the link you provided.

unless you can get a work visa/ employment. No such country exists biko. You want to build travel history. Recovering travel expenses should be out of it. Go to dubai, south africa, maldives, try europe after

Thanks bro. I will consider Dubai.

Gerrard59:
Travel experience has nothing to do with being able to obtain a US' visa for whatever reason. What matters are money and intent. Regarding such countries where you can teach English to pass time, aim at Asian countries esp South Eastern and maybe North Asia. Another place is South America but expect stiff competition from Americans. The issue is that those countries prefer westerners aka oyibos over blacks let alone black Africans. Also, young westerners especially British and Americans flock to those countries to teach English and let's be frank, 9 out of 10, most non-English speakers or tutoring agencies will prefer them to learn English from or teach their students over black Africans. Moreover, they and not Nigerians have easy access to those countries because of their passports' strengths.



If you intend to do "periodic visits" to the US, you don't have to try to recover visa/flight expenses via working in those countries. What that bold says is: you don't have the money to perform periodic travels.

Thanks for your detailed response. However, I was going through the US Visa thread and I found out that one of the reasons for rejecting visa seekers aside money and intent, was lack prior travels. Also, before my sister travelled to US, she first went to Dubai and some other African countries and when she eventually applied for American visa, it was granted at first application.

On the last paragraph, I certainly don't have the money to just go to the US for tourism purposes alone.

The price of beef will soon rise in the South East while it falls in the South West and South South.

A win win situation for all of us

You guys are obviously shortsighted and deluded.

A win win for you? Sorry!!

Yes, the price of cow meat will skyrocket initially once the ban is implimented since only smuggled ones will be available. However, it is high prices that will help to attract lots of investors to establish ranches in the East to take advantage of the now extremely lucrative industry of cow ranching. And trust me, many Igbos will key into it thus creating lots of jobs and economic activity.

Give it a couple of years and everything will stabilize in the East and the win win will actually be for us while you guys in the sad waste will continue gnashing your teeth and suffering endlessly.

The joke is actually on you

Tinubuadvocate:
Epon agbo mi you forget that cow rearing is also a business just like fake tyres and fake products your people are selling in northern states.

Something is fundamentally wrong with people from sad west, I don't know if it's due to the sewage soup they eat.

Most people from middle belt to South have been advocating for boycott of blood cow meat that is causing deaths and destruction. Now that Igbos want to implement it, you started foaming in the mouth. The reason can only be either envy since you can't achieve same on your own or just your normal sadistic way of life.

Now, peradventure the blood cow becomes banned in Igboland. It will create a huge market for alternative sources of protein such as chicken, fish etc. Secondly, it will also create huge job opportunities since many investors would be forced to go into ranching of other types of cattle including the indigenous ones or other hybrids that are resistant to tsestse fly.

It will surely create difficulty initially but eventually, market forces will prevail and alternatives will spring up. Igbos are reverred for their ability to thrive in difficult situations and also for being able to make wealth out of any given opportunity.

Don't cry for us please, instead reserve all your tears for yourself and region because you will be needing every drop of it.

Please which countries can one safely travel to for purposes of gaining travel experience (I realised it is one of the basic prerequisites to increase chances of getting American visa). I ultimately intend to travel to United States for periodic visits but I don't have prior travel experience.

I know about Dubai as good for this, however I don't intend on going for just tourism or for shopping, but a country where one can stay for like 6 months and maybe teach English (in non English speaking countries) or any other job to make the experience worthwhile and also recover some of the visa/flight expenses.

Like I said earlier, I don't intend to live in such country beyond 6 months. Also, how much should one budget for it?

A lot of things now make sense!

Indeed from the look of things, even if SE and SS are able to break away and form their own nations, the SW won't be able to do so!

This is really unfortunate

fkj950ax:
Its a B1/B2 Visa.

But what will you tell the VO is the reason to be in the US for 90 days? How will you attend to your business in Nigeria while away?
How are you going to fund your feeding and accommodation for 90 days?

There is nothing wrong with seeking 90 days, but the probability of approval is extra slim.

Amd in your 3rd paragraph, you even qualified the 90 days with "at least."

Thanks so much for your response.

As per your questions, my brother in US advised me to come over and work within that 3 months during summer.

My wife will be in charge of my business until I come back.

I will be staying with either my brother or sister while there so accommodation and feeding is taking care of, besides I will be going with some money as well. However, reason to give for my 90 days stay is what I haven't figured out.

Please what type of Visa can I seek that will allow me to stay for 3 months or thereabouts in USA before returning back to Nigeria?

I have uncle and cousins over there that have papers and direct siblings that don't.

I only intend to stay genuinely for at least 3 months and wouldn't overstay since my wife and child are in Nigeria and won't be going with me. I also have a business in Nigeria I'm running.

N/B I have no travel history yet.

Help me with your advice please!!

Good news!!!

This bastard is making bunch of money through his senseless movies yet he chose to be enemy of state .

You can call your parents bastards since they didn't train you well on how to respect elders.

You're obviously brainless that's you keep saying rubbish. He makes a bunch of money from his movies according to you yet you called his movies senseless? If his movies are senseless, would he make bunch of money from it?? I ask you kiddo?!

You also acknowledge he is making money from his OWN talent yet you want the federal government to be entitled. Whatever he is making from his movies, with or without Nigeria, he would still be able to make money.

Now run along kiddo!!

Hmnn. Sh1t is about to real

Time is past when IPOB threats can be taken for granted but not anymore. If I'm to advise Miyetti Allah, I will tell them to find a way to reach a consensus with IPOB and promise there won't be any form of attacks or destructions anywhere in Igboland.

Why I'm saying this is because, once they lose the SE market, it will be a massive loss to them. Igbos are among the biggest consumers of fulani cattle in Nigeria. Almost every occasion here in Igboland requires cow; be it burial, weddings etc.

Secondly, the ripple effect on SS can't be overemphasized. Once cattle is banned in the SE, it will technically be banned in SS too since you will have to pass through Igboland before accessing many SS states.

shigishege:
North East and South East are brothers and sisters. The lifestyle there are quite the same.

Typical Iliterate almajiri, they can't read nor understand. The article is talking about bandits in the North West yet he is mentioning SE and NE.

Anyways, the Northerners brought this upon themselves so I have no pity for them. Poverty rates there when bandits and terrorists hadn't taken over was around 90% but now they're extorting them on a daily basis with no significant economic activities and grossly reduced farming activity, they would soon have 99.9% poverty rate with the remaining 0.1% rich being kingpins of bandits and terrorists.

The funny thing is that they're not even all that bothered but instead more concerned about SE

Igboid:
There is nothing to gain from all these minorities.
Nothing.
Ndiigbo have to learn that lesson fast and hard.

We have to learn to stay neutral in any issue involving these minorities and use their penury when possible to further our own interests.
We simply have to learn to be more ruthless and strictly Igbo interests protection and advancement driven, irrespective of what group gets annihilated in the process.

In summary. What FULANI is doing in Benue is non of Igbo business. Our business is how to play a good politics to effect boundary adjustment between Ebonyi and Benue that would result in all those Izzi and Ezza communities trapped in Benue returned to Ebonyi state, and thereafter fully fund our already formed *three dragon militia" to make sure Miyetti Allah that have been chased off SE , remain contained in BENUE and not cross over into SE from Benue/Enugu and Benue/Ebonyi borders.

This is how a wise people should behave.

If we play our politics well, we can even negotiate with Miyetti not to interfere in their issue with Benue, if they stay off Northern Ebonyi, Enugu and Anambra forever and not encroach as well as help us recover those Izzi and Ezza communities trapped in Benue.

This is what I call pragmatic leadership, politics and negotiation driven by interests and not sentiments.
And you can only get this by playing the neutral card, keeping all your cards close to your chest and all your options open, by not rushing to pick any side in any face-off between two non Igbo groups or zones in Nigeria, after securing your own patch.

Such that the Benue Minorities will be co
ming to you to plead for help to push off Fulanis, while FULANIS will be coming to you to offer you incentives to stay off the squabble.
You then weight both options and choose the one that serve Ndiigbo most, not minding the plight of Benue people.

Your idea is undiluted Machiavellian approach and it may seem heartless but sometimes can achieve better results.

Nadaken:
you really put that Abdul in his place

Is this not the same ffk their party chairman cum governor had to leave all activities of state to go introduce to his president who left all activities of the country to welcome him in the supposed busiest office in the country.

So much so igbokwe, elrufai and the likes objected

Btw sef it seems the juice they needed from him have dried out because he is mute

The thing pained the bigot sotey he go close thread wey I open yesterday for no reason.

That guy is irredeemable Sha.

Cloud700:
I’m a Christian but I don’t believe religion should cause an issue here or maybe you can explain more. I have been to some countries before I just think I will like to relocate to one of this country cos of the low cost of living so I can live like a king

If the part in bold is your basic reason then Egypt should be ideal. Turkey will definitely have a much higher cost of living since it's located close to Europe and is relatively more developed than Egypt.

Egypt has a huge population and is surrounded by relatively less developed and less prosperous countries. Egypt is also likely to lag behind Turkey in terms of amenities.

If I were you, I won't go to any of the two since you just need peace of mind and relaxation. My ideal prospects would be either Cape Verde or Seychelles

Wow, this is so beautiful.

Look at the still blue waters...

The nice looking homes....
The enchanting good road network....

This should be a top destination for tourism in Nigeria!

Looks like an exotic island somewhere in the Caribbean

Mynd44:
It is FFK you people take so seriously as to have issues with? FFK?

I remember when FFK was anti-Buhari and Buhari supporters told people FFK Shouldn't be taken seriously. No one listened but here we are.

If FFK caused you pains, it is on you ooo

Walahi, you're too petty to be a mod. So Nigerians shouldn't take FFK serious but your own president you asslick everyday had to leave all the crucial challenges facing Nigerians to host the same FFK in Aso rock??

Nigerians shouldn't take FFK serious but your president and party can take him serious?!

The joke is on you!!!

Tinubuadvocate:
Says by a pain igbo man, I pray you will not die of envy.

So Dr Bolaji Akinyemi, is now an Igbo man? I just hope your obsession with Igbos won't lead to your untimely demise.

The unbridled hate in you will suffocate you someday.

Nigeria was already on life support but Bulhari came and destroyed it completely, never to survive again. Nigerians will forever regret allowing this man to preside over their affairs, including his fellow Northerners. Bulhari will join the likes of Abacha, Idi Amin and Mobutu in eternal hall of shame.

Under Bulhari, every institution in Nigeria became totally bastardized. Today, Nigerian police is seen as a terrorist organization in the global community. It is all these madness that will eventually make the US to support balkanization of the evil contraption.

DJ Switch has become a torn in their flesh and the mere mention of her name will give Lie Mohammed sleepless night. I'm happy for her, at least her heroic acts and bravery has earned her global fame.

CAPITAL FOOLS!!!
North is now worse than Afghanistan but these fools are more concerned about Anambra?!

There lives are not important to those ruling Nigeria. Only Igbo lives matter to them, that's why they would contemplate state of emergency in Anambra that withnessed few political killings but turn a blind eye on Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Kaduna and the other Northern states where hundreds are dying everyday with terrorists and bandits carving out territories and obtaining tax from locals.

I'm really sorry for those Northerners because from the look of it, even if Boko Haram or Ansaru should drop an atomic bomb there, it won't pertub those in Aso rock

Ebi2233:
Ijaws are going for Ijaw Republic, General Ditari the leader of Ijaw Renewal Movement and the Ijaw Republic Liberation Movement,

and with the Ijaw National Congress President, Professor Benjamin Okaba have already given a proposal on Ijaw Republic to the head of the British high commission to Nigeria and his team concerning Ijaw Republic.
They brought him to Ijaw house, Bayelsa, the centre area of the Ijaw tribe, told the British that Ijaws are going for Ijaw Republic, and many different Ijaw leaders gave it to the British.
They've taken it to Britain.
Ijaw Republic are for only Ijaws that are under Ijaw Youth Council IYC Ijaw National Congress INC and the Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization LINO.
Ijaws are in Ondo Edo Delta Bayelsa Rivers Akwa-Ibom and the Aminadokiari (Ndoki)Ijaws.
They all share perfect boundaries with each other, but we're unjustly Balkanized into more than 6 States.

Ijaw Republic we stand.

Ijaw territories start and end in Bayelsa, any attempts to go beyond Bayelsa in your ijaw republic will be met with brute Force!

Meanwhile, ijaw shenanigans have been exposed in this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6790595/how-ijaws-fooling-other-minorities

Now he has seen that state of emergency won't work, considering the backlash he received. He has invited Obiano to Aso rock.

Nonsense!!
