with his erratic behaviours,Trump was never qualified to run for US president. I hope Americans gets him off the oval office, and restore sanity in US.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

In light of recent event and crisis sweeping across cities in America, here is an excerpt from Hillary Clinton DNC speech in 2016.

Emphasis on the word 'CRISIS'.

They've always been meeting over event that shouldn't have occur in the first place, truth is Nigeria was configure to fail.

It will never scale so long all this vultures keep making critical decisions that will affect our life and that of every Nigerian whose story is not yet written.

Jarus:
I shake my head.

I wish I was anonymous to say more about this.

Anonymous ?? you don't need to be.

You saying the truth right ?? , enlighten me bro.

ZINIBANKS:
But it's was $500K before
Has it been increased

Lol, yea bro it was effected last year Nov. , you can check the state website.

Stephenmoka4:
This option is a tough one, I think it's even capped yearly or so. There are other cheaper method than this sha

Yeah it capped but yea their is one for business men, i think you just invest like 200k USD in the United States and you get a visa but EB-5 can make you a US citizen.

Thebody:
Majority of our politicians must have taking this route. Reason why you don't often see them at the embassy applying for visa. This is their easy way out, should the country get too messy for them. But for the time being they will continue to live and enjoy their lives while they have greencard status in the US and permanent residency in other develop nations. Their kids are all on this visa category, they don't apply for students visa either.

You got it, only Politicians and few individual possess the financial requirements.

Stephenmoka4:
about 1M USD for EB-5 that figure is discouraging to many

You must be solid financially before you can even think about taking such step and since most Nigerians move to distant shores to seek for better life, i suppose they don't apply for such.

Rich Nigerian folks who need to change their location will be my best bet or business savvy individual whose idea can survive the competition in america if their is any.

Stephenmoka4:
Most wealthy Nigerians are likely to enjoy their money in Nigeria as the cost of living here is lower than USA. I won't be surprised if no Nigerians have done it. The more people got and grown, they might value money more than green card.
IDK if there is a stat of countries applying for such, otherwise I'll drop it here. What is your take

Needless to say it the Chinese because it easier for them to lay their hand on that kind of money (900k USD) and because of the economic atmosphere of the US unlike Communist china.

When will Nigeria as an entity stop being a charity case ??

Do Nigerians apply for this category of US Visa.

https://www.uscis.gov/eb-5

This visa type is meant for upper middle income family or investor that are wiling to invest in america in exchange for a green card, let say it the easiest way of getting a green card.

Do Nigerians apply for this visa type at all ??

TLION:
Doesn’t change the fact that Lebanese are wicked aswell. If you see the way they treat Nigerias that work for them here in our country ehn.. you go pity us

enlighten me bro.

Yankee101:
He's not the biggest


He's just dead, so everyone can take his carcass apart


There's a gulfwar windfall babangida took. And he was longer in power than Abacha.

Certain permanent secretaries, NNPC GMDs, past heads of state and their family members can easily produce 100billion $

100B USD ??

wolfenstein:
But African countries are funny self, WHO says we shouldn't get the covid19 organic drink from Madagascar, that it's not yet approved by them and African countries are listening to them. Are they the ones in charge of our health? Na human beings like us put them there

Africa needs no one, Lol - wishful thinking.

lol.

Ausrichie:
No need for insults na calm down.

Lol, Affirmative.

Masa no one is passionate about what they suck at. Every beginner would suck at programming. It's the discipline and consistency you need to stay the course, get better and eventually become passionate. It's hard and many people give up easily. As for using the internet. Part of being a good programmer is learning to use the internet. Even advanced programmers still use stack overflow everyday. The guys at Google, Facebook and Amazon have stack overflow open on their computers everyday. No one is an island of knowledge.

Op wants to learn he can learn but it's gonna be hard. Many people give up anyway. It's not easy but if he stays the course and is consistent and disciplined he would get it eventually.

As for computer science, you do realise that graduating with a degree in computer science doesn't make you a badass programmer. The only advantage I see most computer science students have over others who are self taught is the knowledge of data structures and algorithms and how to apply it to write programs. Data structures and algorithms can also be self taught. The best programmers didn't do any computer science. The guy who founded node.js studied mathematics at the university.

There are tons of first class and 2 1 computer science graduates in Nigeria who are unemployed and can't even write a single line of code in any programming language and they are "passionate".

I started learning to code in February. I used freecodecamp and finished the curriculum quickly and realised I didn't know shit got a udemy course and though the lady explained things well, I realised I didn't still know shit. By the time I got to the bootstrap section of the course, I had built like 4 projects but deep down within me I knew this weren't my projects. So I took up a hotel website and tried to replicate it and believe you me I had learnt more from just building the home page of that site that from the first 14 modules of the course. Infact just building the Navbar let me know I didn't know anything as I was using bootstrap. I quit using bootstrap downloaded more CSS courses learnt CSS deeply including responsive design, grid and flexbox which wasn't covered in the website and you need to see what I have done with basic CSS. As for JavaScript, I have over 10 JavaScript projects on my GitHub and everyday I try to at least build one project. That one project can take a week to complete depending on the complexity.

I try to code everyday for at least 3 hours. There are some days I am so hyped up and there are days I wanna watch movies or play games but no matter what I must do that 3 hours. I wouldn't call myself passionate in anyway, I would only say I am disciplined and I am consistent.

Lastly, you are disciplined but dropped architecture. You couldn't stay 4 years to finish a supposingly money printing degree and you are disciplined

I wouldn't like this convo to go further, you started learning coding few weeks ago and you r here arguing with ur grandfathers.

Now go and read about dunnings kruger effect.

Brother if coding ain't your passion, please stand down, you should know that by now.

patiently waiting for some high school student to reveal how death rate will take a quantum leap

even your great grand fathers in Washington DC hasn't taken a decision yet, it is one godforsaken shithole that has zero strikes against China that wanna sue.

kenodrill:
That's too private!

Lol, you can be a bit creative and be cryptic you know.

kenodrill:
I no fit marry if I dey work for private companies.They can terminate your employment at any time.Be you who.






True talk bro....my company just sacked 80% of its staff.most expecially i feel for the newly married colleagues of mine who thought they ve gotten a stable job and rushed into getting married. They ve spent barely a year with the company as trainee Engineers.may God help them all.

where do you work bro??

poco oo

Anonime1105:
Heheheh

wetin brotha

dude listen to me just Google tutorials point js pdf you gon see other site with compete version, i mean they just recently commenced the pricetags on their PDFs, after you r done say Hooyah

resosdigital:
Yea true. Usually takes 10 - 15 bid before I get a job offer.

What your stack brother and have u tried other platforms too ??

chim14:
You will bid for work till u get frustrated. And the funny thing now is you pay to bid, it's no longer free. So to apply for work you pay upwork money.

Even when it was free to get work wasn't forthcoming cuz of high number of competition. 50 to a 100 bids on one small job.

Having an account is not the issue but getting jobs is...and if you manage to get can you do that large amount of work for very small pay like $5

Wow, are you for real brother .. i mean getting job - is it very hard ??

gargoylern:
$15 per hour is the minumum wage. That's what moooooost people earn, Nigerians inclusive. On the average, it gets to about $2k per month. But the bills are also expensive. Phone is about $45 per month, rent varies depending on where you live, it is usually about $500 anyways. I think some girls I know are paying $800. Those working better jobs are able to pay higher rent.

But trust me, most will give up all that money if only they can get a guy. Most of them are staring down a tunnel into their future and that future has no kids and no man even things continue the way it is. The chances are very high that the average Nigerian girl immigrant will end up unmarried. Not that it is important that they get married o, but the problem is that they all WANT it.

The girl you met that cried, what her age ??

Seun:
Highly unfortunate, if true. I hope it's not true but I also hope Aunty Kemi doesn't get into trouble for this tweet.

pocohantas:
The final lockdown.
Dude is definitely not coming out of this one.

Really ??

SMH, i make bold to say if elon musk was a Nigerian he'd still be pounding the pavement looking for 50k job.

That a country where everyone has a fair shot and everyone plays by the same rule.
