Peace Out. Peace out. She now in another Realm

Or maybe she simply ceased to exist.
How come that possibility never occurs to us?

PulaPower:
America happening to people every day by day..

Yankee happened to her!

internationalman:
But as an economic migrants that most of us are, we don't mind staying for overtime as long as we get paid for it. At least till we are solidly standing on the ground financially enough.

Burnout doesn't care what sort of immigrant you are. You'll gradually be like everyone.
Also companies hate paying overtime so if you're in an area with excess workers they'll hire too many to avoid paying overtime

internationalman:
Lol. Time is valuable in US. Those Americans hate working 1 minute be young their scheduled hours let alone overtime. The weird look they give me every time I opt for overtime 😂

Some people work 10hrs in Nigeria and it's never considered overtime. I think Nigerian government has to have a labour law to protect low income earners in situations like this.

Thing is, most people hate their jobs - and sometimes it's not the job but the idea you HAVE TO be there instead of doing whatever you want. So telling someone to stay there extra time is cruel and unusual punishment!

internationalman:
He didn't factor in tax. After all tax deductions, that 3k will come down to about 2400 or 2500.

If he has to pay rent and feed himself and other utilities, it may be difficult for him to save half of 3k...

But, like you said, who knows if the guy is actually commenting from PH😂

Someone earning $15/hr in US simply won't wrote that. Abd notice he said "after one month" - he's been in US one month!😅
What he thinks: start work at 8, get off at 6 (Naija style)=10hrs so 50hrs a week. 15×50×4=3000!

Dtruthspeaker:
Did he not have a choice of either sitting back to managing the kingdom he inherited from his father or choosing to expand his domain to other lands?
He chose to conquer and trespass other people's lands.
So, he had choices.

And you see you said the word of freewill , "to decide" and Alexander did his own "to decide"

Funny guy😅
So if he chose to stay in his mother's house and not even join the army how would the 300-year prophesy be fulfilled?
Not only that, did he make himself the kind of person he was. Not only that, any one person could have used their free will to thwart the prophesy. Example, any one of his generals could have assassinated him!

Dtruthspeaker:
There is nothing to reconcile as free will means freedom to make your choices. And did was Alexander given a choice? Yes. Therefore, he has exercised his freewill

How was he given a choice if outcomes were already predetermined? Infact not only him, nobody else was given a choice because everything affects everything else. Example, all it'd take was for his father to use his free will to decide not to sleep with his mother that day, and he wouldn't even be born!

Those ones who celebrate Christmas on January 6, what is their problem?

EponObi:
Nigerians are senseless, aje!

You dey hear siren of ambulance, you see the ambulance on your side mirror and your brain no tell you to create space. A random biker had to tell you. Some of them self still dey proof stubborn after being told. What a shame! Them no even think say it may be them in the ambulance one day.

Na so one naija influencer called Danny Ajebo on Twitter go use public defibrillator do photoshoot in the UK. Someone who is reportedly rich and exposed oooo. Him brain no even ask if he has ever seen any UK citizen use the public health infrastructure for photoshoot before. This country and anyhowness and zero empathy and irresponsibility.

Respect to this biker. This is the kind of people we should hype and give media attention. But no, na whores, naked people, sexual naughtiness, nonsense content we give attention.

I'm pissed seeing the medical staff in the ambulance looking so helpless.

Because they know Nigerians - they know this can be a way to avoid traffic or become the new system to avoid traffic - just get an ambulace!

We4all:
You gave a hungry man a plate of food to share among hungry people when he hasn't had his fill.

Next time, don't tempt broke people with money. Poverty stricken people don't reason like normal people.

It is NOT poverty, it is greed. Some poor people will even give some of their own share to poorer people

So how do you reconcile this with free will? It was foretold hundreds of years in advance how these people would behave and what would happen

internationalman:
Lol 😂😆. Maybe you are right maybe not. It's a faceless forum after all.

Oh he's in PH alright. He has no conception of "take home". His math is $15 per hour, 50 hours per week, voila! $3000, half of which he'll save!

brain54:
Jewel of inestimable value...

She fine. The guy too was handsome!

Colorization and filters can also do wonders

internationalman:
The guy was specifically talking about himself. He might be the outlier that you are talking about. That's why I said people's experiences are different. Some people don't even have to pay rent or pay a quarter of the rent money if they must. Example is me.

The guy is in Nigeria. Only someone in Nigeria can write such. His location is right on his profile.
Here's what he wrote:
Lol.
America is a good country to make money, for my $15 per hour work, just one month I have made $3000, after bills I have $1.5k left, we die here ehhh
Only someone in Nigeria will write this

internationalman:
First of all where are you commenting from. Secondly your experience is not everyone's experience.

My company allows lots of overtime after the regular 40hrs. Some weeks I work up to 60hrs. I get called up to work most times when I'm supposed to be resting on my off days.

Have you worked at the airport before as a ramp agent for Delta airlines? You can even work double most times. Folks on $15/hr comfortably make above $3k a month with lots of overtime and doubles.

Lastly I know a homecare giver lady that works with a client in her home from 8am to 11pm (15hrs) Monday to Friday for $15/hr. This very woman makes up to $4.5 every month..

You people fail to understand on this site that people's stories and experiences are always different. There are some people on $15/hr wages that will have more savings than some on $30/hr or even higher.

Of course! That's NOT what we're talking about! We're not talking about "some people" or outliers or some sleep-in care giver. We're talking of the vast majority of workers - the kind of job an immigrant will likely get. Most peoole hate their jobs and wouldn't be there a minute longer than they have to be - that kind of job!

internationalman:
Firstly, it's possible if he lives with his parents or shares apartment with someone

Secondly, it's also possible if he works above 40hrs a week.

Why not ask Google and find out if you'll ever make $3K a month (take home) earning $15/hr.
You think companies like paying overtime. They'll
even make sure you work less than full time (40hr per week) talkless of overtime!

internationalman:
How do you make $3000 a month on $15/hr. Is it with overtime?

No mind am. That averages out to $2K per month take home. Meanwhile cheapest rent u can get in a place like NYC is $2K per month!

Jughead29:
The various types of incentives that US gives to its citizens are numerous, imagine $3k for illegal immigrants.

Meanwhile my dear country can't even give it's youth any reasonable start a life package

They'll NEVER give that to their citizens. Never!
US is a totally capitalist system.
They're only doing it because it costs Trump much more than that to find and deport one illegal, not even counting court processes and drama involved.

Let's say a broke American offers to be deported to Nigeria, they won't give him shishi, not even plane ticket

RaptorX:
They will confirm your identity, you think they are stupid.

They CAN'T!!!
That's the point!
$3000 is a lot of money.
I have no doubt some broke Mexican or Nigerian American citizens will do just that!

RaptorX:
You only collect when they verified you are back home not before.

I have a question: Why can't a US citizen apply for this since you don't have to show any papers. Once overseas you make your way back.

In fact I have no doubt some broke Mexican or Nigerian American citizens will do just that.
$3000 is a lot of money

Afonja007:
imagine illegal immigrants demanding for first class treatment ,do you know in UAE , Qatar and Saudi Arabia you can stay five years yet you can never become a citizen

They're not denanding anything. It's just that it costs Trump much more than 3K to find and deport one. Not to talk of possible court processes

OVikkytan49:
Run along 😀

You were already asked, TO WHERE??

jiggyman:
😆! They have electricity in those homeless shelthers. But you in your duplex, na darkness de ur house

Those are not shelters. No money money, no electricity. The homeless shelters are probably too dangerous which is wjy these people chose the streets!

RaptorX:
Return to which US? It is easier for a camel to go through the eyes of a needle than for anyone to cross the US border illegally now under Trump.

RaptorX:
You only collect when they verified you are back home not before.

Believe me, Nigerians will find a way. Not only that, Nigerians will find a way to scam the whole thing. Either they spoof the airline website or something. Someone will be fraudulently verified. Nigerians always find a way where there seems to be no way

dawnomike:
I trust our Naija brethren never to take such offer...

Trust me, Nigerians will find a way to scam this. Either they collect the 3000 and still return or they collect it and somehow never leave, or something. Nigerians will find a way where there seems to be no way

saintopus:
The money is too small. That is about N4.5 million naira. Most Nigerians living illegally in the US may likely not accept it due to greed but if I were them I would have taken it and start up a small business with the money

Not only that, nothing says you can't take it and still return to US illegally - since you already know "way"

Afonja007:
even trump is begging illegal foreigners to leave USA they also be giving 3000 dollars

Begging ke? He was threatningly offering them $1000 (now temporarily increased to 3000) to leave or else

unbiased2021:
If this place was to be in Nigeria , it will be high brow area like Ikoyi or Maitama but here in USA, it’s a slum. Do the maths bro

Which high brow areas in Nigeria do people live in make-shft tents?
People in the worst slums in Lagos have better hope and have their lives more together than these people

Afonja007:
if you like when reach USA begin go use drugs like people in the picture you posted ,those people you post their pictures love drug more than rolls Royce car ,show us our almajiri plus area boys

If you're broke and can't pay your rent due to medical bills, job loss, or something, what has that to do with drugs??

Chucks13:
That is Trump headache. When you are too arrogant, talks too much and a bullier nobody respect you anymore. Trump has totally lost respect everywhere in the world the only respect left for him is just he is America that is all and many countries and even within US are waiting for his tenure to compete they will skin him alive.

Lost respect how? Both Israel and Hamas respected him to end their war. Russia and Ukraign are respecting him towards ending theirs. China is respecting him divesting TikTok. So who exactly did he lose respect with?

AOB1:
This is better than that smelling lagos Island and mushin

Better for who?
Someone here can be much happier than you!

OVikkytan49:
If it's not you that created the thread, so why are you pressed?

You're obviously rude and stubborn. I do not have conversations with immature people. Run along.

Run along to where?
I'm not pressed at all. You're the one taking the whole thing too seriously😅
Believe me, it's not that serious. You were totally wrong, so what? You're NOT the first person to be TOTALLY WRONG!
