brother people who earn 80k in california can not even afford rent. they live in their cars. not sure where you get this idea you can rent for 2k in new york. yeah you can rent a closet space for 2k not an apartment. not sure where you get this idea you can earn 40k and survive in the usa. maybe if you live in kentucky you can survive a little but you cant survive in any major city with that. you will suffer

I know a lot of people in Nee york.I know what's happening there In real time. How much is a 2 bedroom house in Hempstead new york?With a very big space?My Point is that you are exaggerating.

i being dey chicago but i touch base for albany upstate new york, i enter st louis, i enter east orange new jersey and newark new jersey, i enter wisconsin, i enter indiana, and i enter new york city. too much suffering in the land. of course the suffering is different from naija kind of suffering. its more like industrial prison suffering. you are on the go all the time just to make peanuts to allow you to get by. that new york city alone if you are not earning over 250k a year you are suffering

I don't agree you have to earn over 250k to live in New york.You can live under that in expensive Manhattan let alone queens. Ok rent is about 1k5 or 2k .You can easily get by with 40k or more .How many people even earn more than 50k in the US and you are saying 250k .you don't know what you are talking about baba.Dont just reel out figures. I agree a lot of people work incredibly hard round the clock with little rest though

Even the lazy blacks don't want to work Becaise of those benefits.You see them at the atm waitingto collectit and immediatelythey get it , they are off buying cigarettesand co

babzo:
Underpaid? I am talking about living with dignity.
What full time job in America doesn't allow you to buy a car and have an apartment? Tell me bro. The job and the city.

Living pay check to pay check is a Choice. Person wey dey earn $15 an hour and goes to liquor store every weekend, bar every night, pays for cable, goes shopping every other weekend; that person never sabi.

Or you think it's like what ASUU says "My take home pay can't take me home"

America that pays people when they loose their jobs till they find another? Unemployment benefits. America that pays people who are poor to feed every month. That gives free or subsidized rent to the same people ? For ANYONE who applies o. Not just APC/PDP supporters or BMC Crew

No gatemen in the usa.No big fences too.Na Nigeria you dey get those things. But what they are trying to imply is that would one take a lowly job in the usa as opposed to being a bank manager in Nigeria.To each his own

It's all about entertainmentnow.Thata what Nigerians crave probably becauseof the situationof the country.They most crave entertainmentshows not educative shows.Thata the way of the worldnow

Vinnie2000:
Bro, The Possibility is There!

Times have Changed. Yahoo Boys and Runs Girls have made Everyone Money concious!

Nigerians just Pretend to love Educative Stuffs and in Reality, they love Sex or Celebrity related issues!

Even here in Nairaland, How many educative topics crosses Page 2?
But Post 'My Boss Wife wants me to Fcvk her' and see it get to 10 Pages on FP.

Pretence and Hypocrisy too dey our body!

anuijadu:
Good afternoon everyone. I would still like to have answers to the above.
All i have to present to get an emergency interview date are scan results, invitation letter from the obstetrician abroad.

thanks everyone

Giving birth in the US does not qualify for an emergency interview

MrsHappy:
Hello all, it’s been a long time. Good to be back here.
I got my first US visa in 2015 with my hubby and we went on vacation 2017.
Then in 2018 and 2019 respectively, I had my 2 kids on a renewed visa. ( I sent an email to Lagos embassy to inform them of my pregnancy plans and they replied that it’s up to the Officer at point of entry) . At point of entry all my documents were looked at after I told them I was pregnant and I was allowed in.
Now my question is none of my hospital bills was more than $5000. I am going for this new waiver program with my husband. Do you think the amount I spent will affect my renewal?
NOTE: I’m not pregnant, dnt plan to have any more kids. Just need to go on vacation

Just like they said, it is also up to the embassy officials to determine whether the amount you spent was too low compared to what the average American spends on childbirth, and if that might make them to think you cheated on the system. We have seen cases where officers got angry at that figure qnd rejected people based on that fact.So it's possible they might call you for an interview when they see that so be ready to defend yourself.You can only hope for the best

Tosin9119:
same message was sent to me

They can't even spell properly. Confusing given with giving.lol

7031646386:
Yes, an email came in that same day saying it was rescheduled due to administrative reasons. However, I got an email this evening on interview waiver at the us consulate in Lagos. What does that mean pls?

It's for those trying to renew their visas

1stGenAmerican:
I could only wish

Adult woman here.

Your write in a matured manner

1stGenAmerican:
Yes, this girl is 1/2 Nigerian

Young adult?

timesup234:
Deny me visa? Listen and listen very well. I am not your mate, I might even be old enough to be your uncle so before talking that bullshiit learn to respect your elders. Because I come online to educate dumb idiots like yourself you think we are on the same level. America can't Deny me visa, I am the one who will deny them the visa of brainwashing Nigerians of the facade called American prosperity. Havent I proved beyond unreasonable doubt that the US is one overrated garbage dumb? Didn't I rescue many from venturing into a failed adventure that will set their life backward another 15yrs? You are all loving me, begging the MOD to lift the ban on me because your travel section wasn't getting no traffic and you all became broke and miserable. I will return fully on the condition they make me the only MOD here so I can rule like an emperor

All your life , in this travel section you invest your energy in disparaging America.We are tired of you and your inanities.Its not worth responding to you because every right thinking person knows that you are frustrated with America. We don't know what America has done to you that you invest all your energy talking bullhorn about them.Stay in Your Nigerian shithole and let the people in America enjoy the greatest country in the world while you languish in your Nigeria without basic Amenities. Hope Nepa had not taken your light today?

1stGenAmerican:
Your delusion is astonishing.

Never respond to this guy again.He is frustrated with America.They must have denied him visa several times and of course he always jumps on Any American thread to disparage them.He invests so much energy into it .And then you can deduce he US a very crude man with the way he writes and all that

1stGenAmerican:
No Sir

He went in with nothing and he will come out with nothing. He was too broke to hire a private lawyer so he was represented for free by public defenders.

Upon release, the government will dog him until he pays every penny of the restitution he owes his victims. He can’t outslick the US government.

Think I’m wrong? Invictus Obi was stripped of everything. He even begged the government to allow him keep the Diamond engagement ring that he had in his possession when he was arrested but it was snatched away just like all the money from his accounts and his family’s accounts was snatched away.

Can you believe that I saw some ladies on IG who say they miss the way he posts pics and all that?How can you miss such a person?Some girls are something else

1stGenAmerican:
Davido is boastful in Nigeria but humble in America. Many Nigerian guys who live in the Atlanta area laugh at him because they know that he lied about ownership of the Rolls Royce.

The Rolls Royce was shipped to Nigeria after he leased it from MotorCars of Atlanta located on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs. After the lease period is up, he will either have to buy out the remaining balance or return the car in the condition that the contract says it should be returned.

Davido is always exaggerating .I don't even consider him important at all .Always wanting people to think he is fabulously wealthy and is one of the richest people in Nigeria.I don't even know what he wants to achieve with that

1stGenAmerican:
Do you even think before you speak? What does the Secret Service travelling with the president have to do with Marines guarding US embassies?

Why do you call yourself 1st Generation American?And do you have Nigerian Roots?

meobizy:
There’s a gay/queer housemate. No wonder Nigerians were cut off from viewing the program. We never reach the level to understand such interactions. Back in the day they’d put one or three then throw wild straight housemates who were ready to experiment. Drunk nights would have viewers seeing things which happen in society which people act are non-existent. The show is a reflection of the real world after all.

Lol at their lack of sponsors. The advert shown heavily is Johnny Walker. The Nigerian version normally has Pampers, Malaria medication, Hotels and Suites, Interior decorators, Gulder, etc. Companies follow the money and don’t care for morals.

So why did they not have sponsors all these years? EVEN BBafrica is now in the doldrums for lack of sponsors. One has to still give it to the Nigerian organizers that they are able to get different headline sponsors each year ,and other associate sponsors. You are trying to disparage them by saying malaria medications etc.What about Pepsi, guider and co , aren't these international brands? You may not agree with the censorship and all that but give credit where it's due.Naija has held it down all these years while the other versions were in the doldrums.

7031646386:
Thank you Oyekora!
It has been changed to the new date. This is so painful and unfair. I've sent them an email already, waiting for their response. August 8 is very far fa since last year March.

They have been canceling appointments and changing dates themselves since last year.Even twice or thrice .nothing you can do about that

MissionaryArchi:
You just spoke of your friend in lekki Lagos, have you been to Enugu, Abuja, ph or Delta State? What about your own living condition, where are you at?

You dey mind that one

This one is always bragging about money and material things as if he is the richest I Nigeria. And he dey do audio most of the time and exaggerating his wealth.wilk hw gerraouta here

Dammytush:
Hi everyone pls I need an advice on the emergency appointment,I recently applied but was denied twice,purpose for medical treatment, I don’t know if there is something I’m doing wrong or I applied earlier cos my tentative date is April 9... pls anyone with info that can help will be appreciated

Isit pregnancy?

Prince001:
That's what they paid most waiters in Naija náà! He won't pay more than that I can bet u that. But if he does I will sincerely apologise.
I prefer paying more for something so far d person rendering d service getting well paid too. Its common, people that shows off not really doing d same in secret.

That's right, he seems to be a social media show off man now

Prince001:
Absolutely, then he's dashing out money to someone else in thousands for PR.
Even that idiot freeze posting für pic, I lost all respect for him when he went to Dubai to publicly praise Hushpuppi without even know d guy source of income, going to d level to insult people that does cos of his showing off. Birds of same featherd flock together.
We seriously need investigative journalism in Naija to help us exposed these people that's trying to misled d youth to be hardworking whereby they are stealing here and there cos I know Naija youths are really trying ooo but it's not easy when someone like obi cubana paying salary of 15 to 20k to do what naa. Salary that's almost same thing with apple juice price in their enterprise.

How do you know he's paying such salaries?

BigCee0:
.
Innobet never made it far with that cash..
.
Learnt that the guy is now worth less than a millionaire
.
Bad investments & other irrelevant spendings
.
So painful huge part still went to alabi.... #42M was huge to have gone down the drain.

I hope he make good use of the next millions if mother luck will ever visit him again.

Betting addiction is really a terrible spirit

NewDelhi:
Looks like it's fixing frenzy in Portugal. Braga gbam, benfica gbam. . The day you realize most of these clubs play for the bookies, the better for you. Some of them even sponsor their jersey.

Hope the innobets guy was able to do something tangible with the money before he ended up losing most of it to Alabi like you said?

ednut1:
when you are abroad legally and the process is defined like in canada or australia. You would tell your guys to come. But when you are abroad illegally( over 80% of nigerians abroad fall into this category). Trying to get stay thru marriage or asylum. You can't be encouraging your enemy to come na .that is why dey send their money home gotten from menial jobs or hustle . Because at any time dem fit catch and deport u

But how did you arrive at the 80 per cent statistics?

Originalsly:
NYC ... with the COVID-19 mandates ... customers can no longer eat in restaurants unless vaccinated. Since the lockdown ... people had turned to home delivery and that caused a boom in delivery services that is now a norm... the new normal. Electric scooters and ebikes be flittering throughout the city. Need to learn a skill?... ebikes repair.... they will be coming in your neighbourhood!
Ebike sales and repair ... used to be a tiny bicycle repair shop.
Delivery guy waiting to pick up order outside a Noodles Shop.(shop first had a few "African " delivery guys... but they had their friends hanging out in front blasting music and dancing... owner fired all of them... hired Mexicans)
Delivery guy on his way with food in insulated back pack.
Ice cream delivery ... this is the hood... stack of ice cream unattended.. can this happen in your hood? Company hiring drivers.... certification a must!

A lot of people I know left NYC during the pandemic because of the mandates especially. How do you cope there without Getting the vaccine as it seems it is required to enter most places in New york?I remember you said you can even go back to Naija rather than get the vaccine

Ashmark:
I doubt he filed anything for me.

Do you mean it is best if I applied without signifying that I have a brother in USA

You have to say that you have a brother there in the form .No prevarications .But don't make it seem like your sole purpose is just to visit your brother as that could give you away as an intending immigrant. You have to make plans to visits places like tourist attractions there and also see your brother . That is a genuine purpose for visit.

Jeromejnr:
Vaccination causing problems all over the world.

Yet you hardly see the unvaccinated dying.

Absolutely , why are they trying to even mandate it.If it was that good, why try to force it on people?

BrickDevo:
I been tell people say even that 250m naira cash birthday gift na Audio, him no fit just dash the guy 3 million from the 250m cash he received.

Davido na clout chaser from time.Always trying to big himself up .
