USA2019: Ok, God almighty! I have my funds, just not risking to go as a self-funded student.
There is nothing wrong with going as a self-funded student . What is wrong is asking a complete stranger to disclose his/her financial information to you and to lie on your behalf. Com'on bro, are you for real? You could be a fugitive on the run.
Chips101: You're asking people on the internet to disclose their financial information to a complete stranger in a country (Nigeria) known for financial malfeasance and fraud. You are asking people to lie on your behalf (saying they are your sponsor, probably have to lie about their relationship to you to explain their sponsorship of your education), and hurt their profile with the US government.
Best of luck.
Lol .... I admire his courage. Il n'a pas froid aux yeux
Chacha22: I think you are reading a different meaning to his post.. I understand he wrote he wants to be a 9ja tailor to people based in the USA. And then give 40 % of his proceeds for referalls. I think he is just advertising his craft.
AfonjaBoston: While I vehemently abhor slavery of any kind and object to some of my family members who stylishly engage in it by bringing older distant relatives from the villages for the purpose of child care and to "better" the life of the person they bringing but beyond all those mumu and fake tears the people being "trafficked" I dont know if that's the right word or better still being "brought over" knew what they will be involved in
It is The greed ( engineered by other closer family of theirs in their home country) and the fact they can file for asylum and in some cases get all money accrued from services "legally" rendered is why they go to authorities.
Though I encourage trafficked people to go to authorities if they did not from the visa processing stage know what they will be going into. The ones that knew and still went along all these years should be punished by the state just like the trafficker both of them are as guily and should both be deported and their properties donated to charity or some humanitarian course
My point exactly. When Haryoureendey4 said that he will srart giving 40% of his income to whoever will bring him to the US, I am afraid that when it will be time to pay back his benefactor things may turn ugly and ending up with someone be charged with human trafficking
Haryoureendey4: For those of you in USA I pray God answer my prayer too and those observing this thread without commenting a word....we shall Enter the state too legally in Jesus Name, Insha Allah....My brothers and Daddy's in USA please let me be your 9ja tailor now please.... I won't disappoint you sir ' s, if u get me a client there again u take 40% of my in come.... I'm not a lazy youth, currently serving the nation, every day I do pray for Grace
40% of your income? Are you serious? For how long?
sexiestharam: I always hear of missing people but I never ever thought it would affect anyone I know. I know her mother personally and she is such a nice woman. God, Please let this beautiful girl be found.
Oh! So sorry about that. Let's pray for her return safe and sound
Olalekank: I really don't see why you should change it. It's good to be humble and follow people's advice but you shouldn't let other people's post or action make you revert from your actions/post which clearly isn't wrong.
Keep it coming man.
OP has proved himself to be a man of value and a great man by removing the comment that was a clear example of microaggression people of color face daily in different part of the world.
You may not see anything wrong with the comment because you never had to deal with the issue of subtle or everyday racism. But at least be sensitive to the experience of other people.
Why do you think that op's comment would have been removed immediatly if it was written on a public forum of an institution or organization in a western country? Are you suggesting that microaggression should be accepted on Nairaland?
Microaggression has to be addressed when it happens. At least, I will never stop addressing it.
Kudos to you OP. My respect for you has gone up exponentially soon as I saw that you had removed that comment. You are a man of value. A great man
Inception12: Landed seniors, some help needed. I asked for a car insurance quote and 1 company gave me a quote of $8,000 pa which is just pure madness. How does one go about getting a smaller quote for new immigrants.
8000 ? That is way too much unless your car is a rolls royce Where are you located? Insurance pricing also depends on the location.
IyawoToBe: Like I said earlier, you are beneath me so i won't go low with you. I hope you get the help you need. I certainly will keep you in my prayers.
I always knew that IyawoToBe was way over my league ...
henryhemon: I had an experience with a canadian and American organisation, they were impressed with my CV and practically pleading with me to come work with them n wanted a chat with me and when I told them I was in Nigeria , you need to see the regret mail they american sent, the canadian was a little humane advising I find my way to canada.
Maybe when you told them you were Nigerian, they realized there would be too many immigration issues involved by hiring you. Do you have an African or European sounding name? If you have an African sounding name then I would say they were interested in you in spite of your name as you yourself indicated they were pleading with you to work for them. I fail to see racism in your case
In any case, I completely agree with everything @Mcowubaba wrote on this thread about racism in the west.
ekanDamie: I don't see this as racism. If a coy in lekki only wants people from lekki or on the island to apply, are they racists? It depends on the coys ability to bear d logistics or not
Thank bro. I didn't dn't even know Nigerian was a race.
AfonjaBoston: Looks like you or your family have some immigration intents to Canada. Have you been denied Canadian visa? How far gone are you in the Canadian skillled visa program ?
Be ready to defend your ties to Nigeria it will boil down to that.
Tough luck but best of luck
From her post, there is no indication that she had applied for a Canadian visa or intend to submit the Canadian skilled program application. How then did you come to this conclusion?
AlphaStyles: i have one white friend in british colombia i would like to visit canada one day places like edmunton,winnipeg,toronto,ottawa and british colombia
