I am using this opportunity to renounce my membership as an APC supporter. It wasn't easy. Each time I am supporting Buhari, I always heard the hidden voice of my conscience whispering to me. I can't endure it any longer.

The main reason why I withdrew my support from the PDP was that I love opposition party a lot. I have this affirmation that it helps to strengthens national democratic practice. APC may be the ruling party but they're already the main opposition party. But at the moment, I don't care if they're in the opposition party or ruling party. I'm only interested in distancing myself from them.

If Buhari were to be American President, Americans won't only send him out of White House, they will send him out of America.

This is no longer an issue of difference in political party. It's all about our country. It's all about Nigeria. It's all about placing an educated man at the helm of our national affairs. This is 2019, there's little an illiterate can do with power. Power without knowledge is a waste of electorates trust. People voted for you because they trusted and confided in you. They do so because they have confidence in your leadership style. Buhari has betrayed the hope of the common man. He has make void the expectations of the learned. 2019 in Nigeria now seem like 1914 in Kenya. Our major discus are now centered on cows and wild animals. This is not the change we bargained for.

in tears i write this, how will u like to see your country in the hands of the MUSLIM that your country is been sold out to MUSLIM and been ISLAMIZE that is the aim of the government for 2019. BUHARI and co. will come back to power if we the Christian are not prayerful and d coming back of BUHARI and co. is for d Christians. ATIKU is no match for BUHARI except through prayer, the church that are supposed to pray for their country are after money, many churches in Nigeria are into 21 days fasting and prayer some more than 21 days but how many of them took out time to pray for their country everybody is praying for prosperity,favor and many others. Christian in Nigeria need to pray out that (beast) that call him self BUHARI his coming back will b more tough than his pervious tenor pass this message across to your PASTOR to as many people u can reach with this message please and please Nigeria need ur prayer let the church stand in one voice and pray for mercy for this nation

This guys don't see us as fellow humans at all

I really think the united states should be more specific, share your intelligence with our agencies so as to make sure such never happen , no be only US citizens be human being

Mancala:
You links are validating my points. You need a visa to stay long term beyond the terms of the VWP. For self sponsorship, you will need lots of cash to invest .... or retirement income. If you need to work to survive, you need a work visa which is sponsored by an employer.

The rich in Nigeria keep on living their life as if everything is okay in this country, when is time for medical treatment they fly out, when is time to send their children to school they fly out, when it's time for shopping they fly out, neglecting the problems we are facing back home, to them there is nothing wrong with Nigeria as long as they and their families are okay. Forgetting that one day, this country could have a civil war or even go into a serious and fatal religious crises, which will be devastating to both the rich and the poor. That's why till tomorrow, I still commend Falz and 2face for speaking out against the wrong doings in Nigeria.

Mancala:
You're most welcome and I wish you the best as you determine next steps for your future in this great country.

I haven't met many Nigerians besides myself, and now you, who do not like Texas. I especially dislike Houston, it's a concrete Jungle with hardly any redeeming attributes. I like Dallas better but as a whole, Texas does not appeal to me. It's a an entirely different country

But I must ask you this. What makes you think you will like Nigeria if you are currently not liking Texas? One of my biggest reasons for not caring much for Texas, Houston especially is it's "Nigerian Factor". I'm curious if this is a a factor in your feelings.

Angela777:
Why Nigeria? As an US citizen you can go to live in almost any country in the world, Europe many, Caribbean, Latin America, Asia. Thailand is cheap and relaxing, good food too or go to Spain, Italy. Better chose the country where is a good internet and power always on.

Beautyaddy:
What a very good and educative advice Mancala offered with his/her post.

And let me also add my little cents and that is try to cut down on some unecessary expenses of wants( somethings you can do without) and try to set aside money for savings that you can use some for vacations times. And also try to have more relaxing time from work by just working the required 40hrs a week as much as possible.

I sympathize with the way you feel about America. I have been in your positon in the past but quickly found a workaround/workable solution. At a point in time, I was longing for the carefree/lackadaisical nature of life I experience when I visit Nigeria and also missing seeing my people on a daily basis. Like you, I have a family here and felt stuck. First, perish the thought of moving back to Nigeria without a concrete plan. You will regret it. Visiting life is a lot different from permament living in Nigeria. Those foreigners you see getting on planes everyday are going to Nigeria to make money, in many cases to rape the economy. A vast majority of them are not going there to stay permanently. One thing that pissed me off about Nigeria is the opoportunities that were provided to foreigners that were not made available to Nigerians. For example, when I worked in the Nigerian Oil industry with a 5 year technical degree from a first rate university, my fellow managers who were white either had high school diplomas or two year technical school diplomas. They would hire masters degree holders with many years of experience to report to these folks who were there by virtue of being "Oyinbo". What I'm trying to tell you is that white priviledge does exists in Nija. Don't think you will easily get the effortless pickings/fat juicy opportunies with low risk that these guys get.

Its easy to get overwhelmed with the routine and monotony of life in the U.S. especially if you live in one of the cold weather states where a typical Nija man is stuck indoors for the better part of winter. The solution is to travel. One benefit of being a U.S. citizen is that most of the world is open to you for travel without the hassels of getting a visa. Start by travelling within the U.S. You can arrange travel around your kids school schedule. Lots of "quick trip" opportunities within the school year for long 3-5 day weekend trips within the U.S. Spring Break is usually a week to 10 day break. Christmas break.....Thanks giving etc. Travel renews the mind and body and gives you a new perspective on life.

One more piece of advice I can give you from experience is this. The secret to living a successful working class life in America is to work hard when you're young and start building your wealth early. I'm assuming you're in a corporate job and have a 401k or IRA account with a company match? Max out your contributions and take advantage of the match. As you rise within the organization, you will get stocks and bonuses. Save and invest. Before you hit 50, you will potenially be a millionaire multiple times over. You can take an early retirement and go check out Nigeria relatively risk free at that point in time. I have a friend who did that with a $6 million portfolio (starting with modest Apple/tech stock holdings) that earns approx 180-200k per annum that he uses to finance his Nigeria/rest of the world travels in an early retirement while waiting on SS of at least $2,100 per month when he hits 62+. He built a house in Nigeria but always stays in hotels. Go figure!

One more thing, if you don't like where you live and work in America, now is the time to move someplace else within the country. Unemployment is low, wages are rising. But like always, you will find that affordale/better quality of life and long term career opportunities are more prevalent in those blasted cold weather states

Beautyaddy:
Lol!...How long have you been residing in the US?

What about your family members residing in Nigeria? How's your communication and relationship going along with them?

Sheq:

I was in a place today where they run power completely on solar. You should look into that if you decide to jet back. Good luck sir

Beautyaddy:
About from house rent( if you don't own your own house) most bills in Nigeria are not taxed.

Also, there's less compulsory bills to worry about in Nigeria too.

xoxocandy:
Better stay there.
It's worse here.

Dapricha:
You won't pay bills in Nigeria? What part please?

Babyvet:
When is the last time you visited Nigeria?
