.
Paid 35k for one month at Beacon driving school in ph.
I regret I swear

35k is much o.
I personally believe when Nigerian driving school teach you how to drive , youd be scared and wont have confidence , than when you learn from people close to you .

Because if your relative or friends teach you, you can drive anyhow in front of them without being embarrassed, but for driving school, you wont wanna fvck up , with that mindset, you go dey fear and confidence no go dey.

My own thought

Sirchiboy:
.
Awesome.
Driving school na scam I swear.
I wasted my money learning rubbish

Lmaooo wait how much do people pay?

Sirchiboy:
.
How did you learn driving?

Myself .
On the day I bought my first car from the dealership , my guy just entered his own car and said "Put on your emergency light and follow me"..

I know where acceleration and brake dey..


I did and just rugged am reach house ,drove rubbish. (dealership no far from house sha)

Days later, we went out to open fields and just started driving anyhow till I became Vin Diesel. I no go driving school and nobody personally taught me anything.

Driving is not hard, people are just afraid.

Sirchiboy:
.
Where do you based?
Remember that driving is all about self confidence.
You must bashed car after learning.
I Broke rear mirror two times and dint the body.
So be careful and remember that reversing is the most important aspect of driving.
Moving the car forward is not hard but reversing is very hard.
Know how to use the trafficator, how to wheel the steering and know the road rules.
Good luck.

I might be the only person who didn't bash his car after learning. I dont know why or how.... no single scratch..

Just joking...

That Toyota Big Daddy , na your best option.
I know cars, and I have used cars!
Different brands.

Few years back, the Lexus es 330 would have been your excellent choice for that price,but now, it's around 2.4 (I guess) Good Car for a first timer.

Another car , is the regular Muscle. That's Toyota Camry 2009/2010. Also would be around the above price right now. All these are good for a first timer.

Cars are expensive now in Nigeria...

Pls, that dude telling you to save up to buy a BMW , pls run from his advice. What is good for the goose, may not be good for the gander.

I once had a turbo engine BMW TOKS. I almost cried with that car. I literally bought problem with my money.

Just get that Big Daddy Toyota, you would see a very clean one with that price right now (with good negotiation at your dealership)

It's a nice car, the speed isnt too crazy , good car for a first timer too. . . Later on, you can add money and change to Benzema C300 2018

Or RX 350 OR AVALON 2016 ....
Omo cars sweet abeg. . .

No sha buy Venza when you don blow, that car be like balloon. Very big for nothing

No be 2k u go give me, na 10k...where can I send my details. .?

I'll advice you to buy a motorcycle.

You're not wrong with the bolded though. (Helped u edit it)

johnbd:
No. The fallen breasts are really exposed.

I'm sure if she links up with you (which I'm sure she won't because you sound like you're less of a man), you won't hesitate to handle and suck the hell out of the so called fallen breasts like you described above.

SanctifiedSista:
Pls in the spirit of giving, pls I need .a side hustle .salary can't help with my expenses
I want to learn data analysis and graphic design...I need a certificate and it will cost 150,000 naira..DM me if u have advise or want to help

Well, I didn't want to reply but I go sha type am. Typing is boring for me me.


First of all, I know a friend who is a Data Engineer now.
Started as a Data Analyst.
Used about a year to learn.
No physical class or all those certificate whatever, he was on YouTube learning .

When they started paying , LOL he changed his car twice in a year.
I went to his apartment once , omo ...
Big Man Lifestyle.
You really dont know how much YouTube can do for you if you're serious .


Secondly, the Graphics Design thing .
YouTube also...
If you want to go to all these physical classes , them go just take your funds and do same thing a tutor on YouTube will tell you.

In my opinion, YouTube is better.
I used youtube for about 8months learning the Adobe Suites. Photoshop, Illustrator and all.
Dont underestimate YouTube.

There is one particular YouTube tutor I'd recommend, I've forgotten his name, but if you want it, I'll search .
He would teach you like a baby, till you become a professional in less than 4-5 months.
That guy is very good. Extremely good.

But still, if you want to go register with schools and throw them your 150k, go on.

Papilagreen:
Lol bro no believe watin u dey watch for film ooo if e set here everybody dey go hide under bed e get people wain get like 12 AK-47 for their house as gun collection some get RPG if e set here ordinary police dey Japa na SWAT teams dey come finalize the matter..

The last one win happen for my present it took the SWAT teams about 3hrs to neutralize the targets that's when steady exchange of bullets nonstop.

E no dey too happen like that but when it dose men na madness
I get ur point sha for one person for that shit to happen to am on diffrent locations all in 1year it doesn't happen that way here na for school clubs shopping centers church mostly but abduction or all this religious shit no dey happen like that if not for the way oyinbo dem advance ehn... This country for don go.. u call 911 B4 u end the call police don surround ur location already that's just the best part. They always on alert ready to move

Omo your eye don see many things o..
Surely Surely , God hand dey your body.

You dey always see havoc but he no dey touch you !

This question no be for you o; but I go still ask,
You said 1 minute or so after 911 call, police dey fall in, abeg how many minutes police go use fall in for emergency for naija?
That's even if the 911 dey work.

Papilagreen:
Yeah I plan to visit 9ja in the future but not anytime soon.
I have families back home I haven't seen for years so yeah I definitely will be visiting later in the future but not so soon. And as for the gun part lol I reserve my comment on that.. but just so u know back when I was in 9ja on 3 different occasions I was this close to getting killed in 3 different state

One was along Benin-lagos Express road when I was going to buy my first car from Lagos we was attacked by Fulani bandicts I was shot at twice but I didn't know how I survived with no gun wounds

the second time was in benue state 6 months after my first incident in front of a club called ACE of Spade while I was serving there in benue state during my NYSc days one of my friend was killed at the spot and another was shot in his right eye till today he uses artificial eye on that eye also I was shot but I didn't get hit.

Third lol on my way back to visit my parents along Kaduna Abuja Express way same thing that one was like war film even me self no fit talk that story finish and when I arrived home there and then I know 9ja was not for me any more... Funny how am talking about it and laughing while typing.. this life I don see shegeh... When I say my life is like a movie nobody go understand. So I hope with this small answer I take reply u so, u suppose don get the answer to ur bolded reference u quote.. I can't fall for that shit anymore...

As bad as yankee violence be, the above no fit happen.
I'm certain.

Tradinggiant:
so if I spend millions of naira to japa from Nigeria because of insecurity, I go still day watch my back for saner clime ?
Just wow

No watch your back o.
If them dey shoot , put airpods for your ear and dance .

Papilagreen:
Okay so I just moved from Chicago Illinois to Kentucky where I presently live.
America is a gun violent country if u go out, just have it at the back of ur mind that anything related to shooting can happen at anytime.
Almost everybody have guns here a 16 years old kid can go buy gun if they so wish to and ain't nobody is going to stop them and that's just the Sad part about it

As a sharp guy u just gats dey on alert 24/7.
I would say Kentucky is more peaceful than Illinois when it comes to gun violence. But hey.. u never know what might happen.
In America u hardly walk on foot unless u decide to go for a walk or a shot exercise or u going shopping in places like Walmart or Kroger or target. Best buy or the hardware store etc. That's when u see people walking around basically, everybody is always in their car driving nobody dey walk. Here for America u fit dey live for one particular location for like 4 to 5 years and u don't know who ur next door neighbor is cause everybody dey mind their business infact u go hardly hear noise even ur music self no suppose disturb the next person. America their way of life different that's why I miss 9ja where u go dey see okada or danfo.. noise everywhere even their be here na low-key type..
Sometimes it's like a depressing kind of lifestyle but for me I know my ways and I know how to make my day worthwhile for me na u go always create ur own fun if u get what I mean..

Na just work work spend then save the small one u fit.
But anyways it's a whole new experience and a way of life and u get use to it with time..

Me self don dey take gun shooting classes for target accuracy, I go soon go buy my own gun for protection. U never can tell what can happen and time

After your gun lesson, take Sword lesson .
So you go buy Kitana after you get your gun

Tradinggiant:
big boss.. which state u day for America and how do you cope with the America daily shooting??

While walking on the street, e day bother you say you might get shot ??

oh my god

I no fit laugh too much.

Abeg for Nigeria, your eyes never see things ? I mean End SARS? Police shooting and beating people up?

For my estate, About 2 months ago, someone was shot just in frontof the Estate Gate, they shot him in his back.
Young Fresh Graduate with no wahala. Small boy
Estate wey I never hear gun before in my life .
He just wanted to buy food .
Thank God say them carry am go hospital fast.



See for yankee, the time wey them shoot them Quavo gang , my Mama call me say she hear the gunshot not too far from her place .

Violence na everywhere. We know say USA own too much , but still we go dey WATCH and PRAY.

Papilagreen:
Okay let me shear my own 1cent of what I can say to all those my bro and sis aspiring to Japa.. first of all if u wan come pls come I will be very happy for you. But believe me when I say ur first 4 years will be hell for u cause e no go easy 4 u talking from experience.
Culture shock, currency value... U go carry $4000 think say u carry money come but when u buy one buy two ur eye go clear.

Nobody will accommodate u for free u pay rent minimum 450$ every month u must not miss or dem take u to court internet and water and trash bill 150$ join make am 600 monthly and as a first timer u go pay first month and last month B4 u even get key..
we nova talk phone bill which is 50$ monthly. That is the cheapest network service ooo.. u haven't plan food.. then winter lol if u no get car oga/madam u done for lol u go freeze to death for America car no be big boy or big girl. na necessity u just have to get it my first car I get for America back then I remember na jalopi.. I go roll am climb hill cause I lived in a hilly area then I go roll am down na so e dey start sometimes I go have to do am so like 5 times B4 e start. Na so I go weak B4 I reach class start sleep during lectures.

It wasn't funny.. if u wan come here the best advice I will give is via student F1 visa if u come here as visitor and think say u go make am ogbeni ur own don finish.. America rules for international students is so strict u only allowed to work 20hrs weekly and 89% of the time u can't even get ur full 20hrs.
If u no pay ur school fees on time every semester then u are not allowed to register for classes for the new semester and automatically u lose ur F1 status and as a result of such, ICE go come find u send u back to 9ja. The worst part be say as soon as u land here u nova even dind where to sleep u go dey post picture and people back home go say u don land everybody go start bill u and if u tell them say u no get them go say u wicked...

U go find Undertable jobs u go suffer B4 u even find one and dem go dey underpay u like Kobo Kobo.. u no go fit vex cause u need am or ur die of hunger and bills..

Honestly ur first 5 years won't be easy but at the end it is worth it.. if u smart use ur brain u go fit find ur ways around so u go fit survive..

If anybody wan discourage u tell the person no worry I go still come. But lower ur expectations cause na people wain u never know for ur life B4 go help u the one u know go losegard u 1000 yards no blame them na the street we all dey..

But trust me it will all end in praise at the end.. I am a living testimony if I tell u my full story una go say na lie Say na film I dey talk but all na 100% true my journey here for America too go long....

My advice follow ur dreams no let anybody kill ur dreams if it will be it will be.

You're part of the 10% who will encourage others t come .

I read every single word before I slept off early this morning.
I'm just replying now.


I hope people read and understand too..

Many people feel say once u Japa, make u dey bill people.

Anytime wey I follow my sister talk for phone , na she dey always explain in details how that place be for me.
Dey put me through things..she don even connect me with Job all the way from Yankke before self.

People dont really want to help.

There is this guy that told me he wanted to do masters, he asked his friend over there for help, the guy said no wahala, he go put am through.
My friend in Nigeria said he needed him to help him check something (idk what it was sha, maybe some project work sha wey he wan submit to Prof online ,I'm not really sure)

He said he sent it to his friend on WhatsApp over 3 times , different days , the guy he kept sending it kept on reading is message and not replying him

But was very active online , even going to club and posting it on his story but ignoring my friends messages.

Nigerian Yoruba Men sha

ednut1:
There is no one that can convince someone whose mind is already made up from japa.

Some of those who discourage people from coming are trying to prevent future wahala. Someone you know may have travelled in year 2010 when immigration rules were not that strict and has since gotten papers. You in 2022 is asking same person to show you way, meanwhile things may have changed, Housing you when you come and start working illegally can back fire on him or her. Some visit visas now you cant even convert it unless you leave the country. As dem dey try explain all this you can label the person enemy of progress and so them no want make you come at all.

I don see where dem house person and he go use their address receive yahoo boy/credit card goods. Another one dem house babe wey just come from Nigeria, the babe say she no fit do hustle job, meanwhile na wetin the host do when he first come Uk, so she wan just dey house dey waste electricity, food and water till good job show .

When i was in UK 2005 to 2008 many people dey use fake papers work ( Dagbo) , try am today if them no go nab you and the employer.

Hmm I actually no even dey ask for way personally from anyone .
I know the way I typed above may seem like I'm pained about this Japa thing, but I'ts just based on what I've been seeing from twitter and also this same Travel thread .

And thank you for what you said about how people dont want to help others because some might want to drag them into illegal problems. That's true.

He get one of my friends wey we dey talk last week, he just landed in USA like 3 months ago. He said someone was calling him about using his house address to receive credit cards LOL ....

.I always wonder how you can be in a country of opportunities as a Nigerian Hustler and still want to do fraud and not work legitimately LMAO



Sir Ednut, I dey always see your comments for nairaland travel thread, na big Name you be, thank you o
