Thank you.

I totally respct the decision to go where you get opportunities, I am not saying everyone must go to US or UK. Some people will find their calling in Brazil, some in US, some in Nigeria, some in Asia etc.

My issue with this guy is why he feels the need to talk down the US to talk up Brazil. He should focus on my useful information like how people can get there, what career opportunities exist etc. not coming up with false narratives like Brazil is perfectly safe.

pseudonomer:
From the statistics you posted, I don’t think Brazil is safer.

Anyway back to a more useful topic, educate us on the visa options, how you got your visa, what career options are available because form people I know who went via transfers from the Us they say it’s very hard if you just go to hussle and many end up with jobs like teaching English.

Also educate us on how you learned Portuguese because as you are aware you cannot function properly without learning the language.

For the US many people go as students and convert to work visa then green card, some get green card through family sponsorship, some go with visit visa and stay illegal. Some won visa lottery though Nigerians do not currently qualify as we send more than 50k permanent residents over the past 5 years cumulative.

What are the options in Brazil?

walkbrazil4k:
That togetherness is why I love Brazil, people look out for each other and there is no hostility here in Brazil, it is just about happiness

In case you missed it police kill black people 6 times more in Brazil than the US, the difference is there is way more outrage in the US and it makes global news while when it happens in Brazil it is not reported globally. People in the US UK etc have no clue about it.

Oh Sorry I forgot they are all drug dealers right? Every single one is a criminal with no wrong killing, collateral damage. According to you every single one is justified right? Yeah I’ve heard

walkbrazil4k:
That togetherness is why I love Brazil, people look out for each other and there is no hostility here in Brazil, it is just about happiness

Again I say it yes Brazil is a good country and has a lot going for it especially when you compare it to some other developing countries but please stop lying and deceiving people not especially when you also claim the visa is hard to get, so what is the point of your tirade?

The Us is not perfect, crime is higher than some other developed counties but way lower than Brazil so stop lying. Racial issues exist yes but there has been a lot of progress and lots of conversations going on and trying to work it out. Brazil also has its massive racial issues similar to the US driven by history of slave trade so stop lying.

Look at Chicago where I live, the Mayor is black, the head of police is black, the head of the school district was black until recently and replaced by a Hispanic guy, the highest civil servant for the state the secretary of state is black and I can go on and on. Show me the same in Brazil.

And I can go on and on. Is it perfect NO, but there is progress being made and stop claiming Brazil is perfectly safe or no issues or racism that is blatant lie. Even Nigeria suffers from Tribalism against our fellow black Nigerians.

walkbrazil4k:

Chief stop the lying. Yes the US has racial issues and yes they have been getting better and better. The difference compared to Brazil is Americans tend to be very vocal and lots of conversations going on about this issues but you on the other hand are trying to claim no racism o discrimination in Brazil which is just a lie.

There is massive disparity across races impacting blacks in Brazil so please stop lying.

With the racial issues in the US I can point out many blacks in good positions in business and government and heck there was a recent black president, can you say the same for Brazil

With all the racial issues I can point out Nigerians doing amazing things and accomplishing great thins in the US, can you say the say the same for Brazil

Even Brazilians recognize there are issues and you are claiming it's perfectly safe and no racism.

Tell us what you do in Brazil and what type of visa and how you got there.

walkbrazil4k:
That togetherness is why I love Brazil, people look out for each other and there is no hostility here in Brazil, it is just about happiness

What does that even mean and why are you talking about how easy it is to get Brazilian visa from outside Nigerian on a Nigerian website where you are telling Nigerians to come to Brazil not the US. How does what you are saying make sense?

Now it's Canada all the way and yet you're in Brazil or you will say brazil is better than Canada as well?

You said you can easily get a visa to move to the US and by move I assume you mean permanent resident or work visa not visit visa so prove it and show how you don't like America by turning it down after you get it.

What visa I am on in the US doesn't matter as I said there is lots of information here on nairaland about how to move the crime ridden US but nothing on Brazil so please educate us.

and lots more for UK, Canada etc. Let's do the same to market Brazil and since you're the chief marketing officer for Brazil please educate us.

walkbrazil4k:
I didn't want to reply this but I just had to reply and I am mad at myself because I have been going back and forth with a kid with low IQ.you that can't tell the difference between within and after?

Which visa did you use to enter America? Tourist visa of course

Who are you that I have to prove anything to? Let me educate your ignorant as* like they say in America.

If you live in Canada I would understand but American is a mirage, Canada All the way

[b]IT IS EASIER TO GET ANY VISA OUTSIDE NIGERIA
[/b]

Bloody liar.

Prove it by getting the visa and turning it down. Come on prove it

walkbrazil4k:
You are a pathetic liar, where did I say Nigerians earn $7,screenshot where I said it now.

I just discovered america can't change one, because your level of thinking is low, everyone knows Nigerians do great things in the USA stop twisting it all.

This is the problem with many Nigerians in America always trying to tell lies, many Nigerians do menial jobs in the USA and its not a big deal, stop trying to make it look like a bad thing, theres no shame in it.this is why people in America won't tell you what they do because people would laugh at them.

You are a local kid who managed to make it to America, your dishonesty is making me end this back and forth debate.

You tell lies just to make us believe America is heaven

America damaged the reputation of Brazil through their media the same thing that they have done to many other countries



My finally words to you

If I want to come to America now I can come it is easier for me from Brazil because I have all it takes and I won't waste my money just to go take pictures

You finally met someone that does not give adamn about America, lol. I am proud of Brazil and I love Brazil so deal with it and let it sink in.

I never told you to quote me, I am blogging about brazil so I am just starting

There are many of us that don't give a damn about america and we are happy where ever we are. Bye

As I said migrating to America is well documented and you yourself said so hence why you went to educate s on Brazil rather than the crime riddled no free healthcare America so educate us.

America is crime riddled and we should come to Brazil so show us the way

walkbrazil4k:
Lol keep posting screen shots, Brazilian health care is top notch, the president of Brazil is always treated in Sao Paulo Brazil

Health care in Brazil is great and you won't understand what it means to have free health and we have millions of Americans without access to medi care

Americans run to Mexico to buy Insulin same Mexico they always look down on, in the UK they have free health care

What type of job are you doing in America and which type of visa did you use educate the people that want to enter America

I never ever told you that you don't have to work hard, yes you do same as everywhere and no I am not painting America as licking money off the floor. It is hard work absolutely but if you are willing to work you cannot go hungry in America and that is a fact.

You are the one claiming most Nigerians are earning $7 per hour and I am telling you that is not the case, many Nigerians do amazing things in the US and yes there are also many working menial jobs. Mostly they don't have papers or they moved too late its harder to break into professional jobs etc. Educated Nigerians with legal papers do well in the US.

Infact Nigerians are one of the highest earning groups in the US. yes Yes yes there are many working menial jobs so no I am not saying all Nigerians have great jobs but compared to Brazil..... no comparison

https://www.ozy.com/around-the-world/the-most-successful-ethnic-group-in-the-u-s-may-surprise-you/86885/

Unless you want to remain in delusion Brazil offers nowhere near the career opportunities that the US has and that is absolute fact and the fact yo keep trying to use $7 per hour shows your level of thinking.

That 1100 reais you talk is $195 a month, while the cost of living in Brazil is lower than major US cities, when you compare it to the US wage you are better off in the US so please stop all this you are saying.

https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Rio-De-Janeiro

This website shows the cost of living for a family of 4 in Rio is $1667 yet average single person earns $473, do you see the gap or do you need a calculator?

Why don't you tell u what you do in Brazil and how much you earn?

I don't need to tell you how to get to America because it is well documented on nairaland and that is the reason for your campaign right that everyone talks about US not brazil so you educate us on brazil the hidden wonder of the world that is perfectly safe "if you ignore the favelas".

So again what visa are you on in Brazil, how did you get so others can learn. What do you do etc. Let us know, who knows I may just quit the US to join you in Brazil the wonderland

walkbrazil4k:
Don't tell me about people doing well in America because I have people there and I know, people work hard and my point is that you are painting America like people pick money on the floor and we have poverty and crime in America.

In Brazil the minimum wage is reais1100 but companies still give extra like 400-500 more if you are educated you would definitely earn more.

I don't want to learn anything from you because I already know and I won't come to America and why would I waste my money just to take pictures in times square, lol,i would rather visit Chile it is closer and cheaper. you are refusing to do the same thing you are telling me to do,tell people that want to enter America how you got there

Not sure why you’re laughing the advert was there plain as day and that’s a job for less educated and students working part time etc so not sure what they have to learn from me. Many many Nigerians work and do very well in the US and make waves in many areas of life here so not sure why you are laughing.

walkbrazil4k:
The political America is worse than the devil and we can see what they have done to other countries and what they are still doing but I don't want to go into the political side of America and like the title of the topic says I am comparing crimes to let people know that the angel America is also crime ridden.

Brazil is a safe country and the favelas does not represent Brazil

America is a great country but they always hide the true America and this is why people would keep on flooding your borders

The point that I have made is to let people know that there are crimes everywhere and Brazil is safe unlike what the western media always show us.

And Brazil have some benefits that America don't have and America have benefits that Brazil don't have, you get it? Eg free health care

I can't tell you things that I have talked about and nobody can tell me what to do, I can say whatever I want to say when I want to say it, so you can answer the question so people can learn from you on how to get to America and get a job that would pay $30/hour after 4years,lol

Chief ok Brazil is great we have heard.

Why not educate us more on how you got there, what visa type, what type of job etc?

Btw the free healthcare you keep harping about also has its issues including quality of care. Do you agree that rich Brazilians either go to private hospitals or pay for insurance due to this? As I said the main issue with the US and healthcare are those that fall in the crack with no insurance and even that Gap closed significantly with Obamacare. Those who earn under a certain threshold are covered by Medicare.

Anyway we have heard Brazil is amazing now educate us on things that matter rather than proving US is evil. We have heard US is evil and crime ridden and Brazil is perfectly safe.

I have not talked any country down. I said and say again Brazil is a great country but it is not heaven as you claim and to many it is not better then the US. I already talked about homelessness and crime in America so I never said it doesn't exist, you are the one claiming Brazil is perfectly safe and amazing.

If you're happy there that's totally fine and nothing wrong with that hence why I asked you to share how you got there etc. for others to benefit. In all honesty I am not asking to make fun or anything I am truly saying focus on that as it will be more beneficial than trying to prove America is evil and Brazil is better or whatever it is you are trying to prove.

So again I ask:
- What visa are you on?
- How did you get the visa and move to Brazil?
- What do you do there?
- What are the wages to expenses like because I know have friends in Brazil some who were my colleagues from Deloitte who moved to Deloitte Brazil and what I know is in the major cities expenses such as housing is very expensive when you compare to income so your insight will be valuable to those interested.

walkbrazil4k:
Stop talking down on other people's country while praising America because America is not heaven because you also have crime and poverty in America

what visa are you on? How did you get your visa? What do you do in the usa? How is the wage you earn? This will help a lot of People

As I said America is not heaven and no one even said that. Same as Brazil

Anyway on a devious note what visa are you on? How did you get your visa? What do you do in Brazil? How is the wage you earn? This will help a lot of People

walkbrazil4k:
You dare not tell me what to post on a public forum, who you be? Are you OK?

How about you tell people how you got to the USA?

Your IQ is low because you could not even tell the difference between within and after.

You are pained because you see someone that is not worshipping America, lol

America is safe and Brazil is also safe, they both have crimes

Lies normal Americans live in Brazil and they don't work for any American company

Brazil is a great country that has many things going for it.

Do you have free health care in America?

America is not heaven stop the lies

And that’s where you stake your sword, before v within seriously? The fact still remains minimum wage is not the $7 you were claiming.

I just stepped out to pick something and saw this as well. These are photos I took not from internet

As at 2016 there were about 100k Americans in Nigeria. I can’t find official numbers though. Many are mostly expats and then Nigerians born in America etc same as Brazil.

The average American in Brazil did not go to Brazil to flee poverty and violence but the average Brazilian in America left to flee poverty and violence.

walkbrazil4k:
Why don't we have 60,000 Americans living in Nigeria, lol

Since you are here originalsly this dude says those doing 2-3 jobs in the USA are illegals and they don't have papers, is this true? I know it's not true anyways because I have people there, this guy posted this picture below and he could not tell the difference between within and after, he posted the pic you see below and he said they would increase to $30 within 4 years and the pic clearly says after 4years,how did he even get a visa to America, lol

Hahaha I didn’t know he posted this here as well claiming 60k Americans living in Brazil like it is some major point.

Originalsly:
The Confederate Flag represents those with a certain ideology... a racist one. Does that mean that bikers flying the flag go about looking for Blacks to kill? Did bikers flying the flag ever kill Blacks? I'm almost sure they did at some time or other... but should one conclude this as a common practice? This is what you are projecting which is untrue.

If the US is so bad compared to ehmmm.... your country Brazil .... why are over a million Brazilians living in the US?

Do you know many Americans living in Brazil are fugitives?... Brazil being country of choice because it has no extradition treaty with the US?

By that logic the US is perfectly safe then isn’t it? In fact every country on earth is perfectly safe based on your criteria so again what’s your point? Even Syria with war has areas less unaffected so based on your logic Syria is perfectly safe.

Anyway as I said Brazil is a good country that has some things going for it. if you have a good life there that’s amazing, but we don’t need to unwarranted constant posts comparing. There is a reason many more people move to the US companies to Brazil including Brazilians as I showed you over 1.4 million compared to 60k Americans many of which are probably expats wondering with American companies. And this is despite all the well known issues the US has.

If you truly want to be helpful why not tell people how you moved to Brazil, how you got your visa, how you got a job etc rather than US is this Brazil is that.

walkbrazil4k:
See me see wahala, do you understand something at all, ok let me show you the map of Brazil, just like you talked about Chicago having some deadly parts it is the same thing that I am telling you, we don't have favelas all over Brazil, look at the map and tell Me the whole of Brazil is not safe, really, don't judge Brazil because of the favelas the same way you don't want me to judge Chicago

Leaving this here for you

On one hand you claim Brazil is PERFECTLY safe on the other hand you claim favalas are full of crime and drug dealers, which is it or they are not part of Brazil?

walkbrazil4k:
We don't have racist police killings in Brazil

We don't have driving while black in brazil

People protest in rio because they see the favalas killings as racism but ask yourself if the drug gand are not in the favalas would the police just go in there and start killing black people?

The hypocrisy in this post is alarming. Seriously alarming. Please check your privilege

Floyd was actually in the hood and no they should not have killed him, totally wrong and I am glad the officers are in jail but again he also is an example of what I am talking about when certain actions and life choices result in higher interactions with the police. I'll leave it there

Another example of what I mean the shooting of Laquan McDonald in Chicago was a big issues a few years ago. And I totally agree the police should have done more to resolve the situation without killing but there are major questions to be asked as to why a teenager was out on the street at that time of the night with a knife and this is what I mean when I say lot more needs to be done to prevent those interactions in the first place.

I don't see how different it is from the black killing in Brazil, poverty and high crime is the main driver here and it's the same in the US it's just the poverty looks different ad they live in tub down slums in Brazil and the hood is a hit better in the US but still bad and crime ridden.

I also mentioned stereotype and this applies to both countries, police called to certain neighborhood in Chicago already have a not then again attitude and same in Brazil I'm sure if they have to go to the favalas.

I'm not saying it's right, it is not but I'm saying the issues are the same maybe a bit better in the US as there is a difference in what is deemed poverty in both counties. You can agree poverty is worse in Brazil right or you went to claim otherwise?

walkbrazil4k:
Black's killed are in the favalas and not like the USA where police can just kill anyone in a traffic stop[b]was George F killed in the hood[/b]?

We don't have favelas everywhere in Brazil and that is where Black people get killed do you understand?

Black people live in the favelas and drug dealers as well and when police to in there to raid they kill drug dealers and innocent black people because majority of people living in the favalas are black, do you get it now?

Brazil is perfectly safe

Yes you do,people are protesting racist killing in Brazil and you sit here claiming no racist killing.

Please stop. Yes Brazil is a good country with some things going for it but stop the unnecessary comparison that no one asked you for .

You have a good life in Brazil and that's fine, many others have good lives in the US and many other countries so that's fine as well.

walkbrazil4k:
Read your own screenshot because if you did you would see favela there and it means ghetto and it was a shoot out and innocent people would surely get hit

We don't have racist police killings in brazil like you have in the USA.
[b][/b]

We have police officers fighting drug dealers in the favelas

Because they do not want help. Here in Chicago when it gets very cold they move to shelters but summer comes they leave and return to the street and the government can't force them. This is a big issue no doubt but one that is being spoken about. No American will tell you there is no homeless issue there is, but it affects all countries even Canada which is seem as a very liberal economy they have high homelessness.

Yes I give you the free medicine that's is great but the poor also get government covered medical in the US. The gap is those who do not earn low enough of the threshold and do not get insurance through employers. And again this is an issue everyone talks about, no one is claiming it's not an issue

You on the other hand are trying to pain Brazil as heaven claiming PERFECTLY safe etc when it is not

walkbrazil4k:
Lies homelessness is not about drug abuse, are you sure you live in America? Because you clearly don't know anything about America, I don't live in America but I can tell you all, it is simple, research.

They always make us belive that it is drug users that end up homeless but that is a big lie, life happens to people and they can't meet up their bills and they end up on the street

First you said Nigerians do 2 jobs because they are illegal

Now you say homesless people are drug users

Hahaha, we have thousands of homeless people all over the USA so why haven't the government helped them? And yes we have homeless people in Brazil but it is worse in the usa

Health care is free in brazil and people don't need insurance, so homeless people can get medi care free of charge, is health free in America?

And in the US it's in the nice areas? No it's mostly in the hood where there are gangs and crime as I said. It's not right but a lot more needs to be done to stoo the interactions in the first place through education etc before they fall into a life or crime.

Again there are way more blacks killed in Brazil so please stop being so sanctimonious.

And this is contrary to you claim of Brazil being PERFECTLY safe.

walkbrazil4k:
Read your own screenshot because if you did you would see favela there and it means ghetto and it was a shoot out and innocent people would surely get hit

We don't have racist police killings in brazil like you have in the USA.
[b][/b]

We have police officers fighting drug dealers in the favelas

Again you have also fallen for the media narrative.

While there are some racism issues majority of police killings are not racism driven but did to high crime in certain communities. I ask how many Nigerians who work obey the law go to church etc have you heard of that got killed by police? Please name 1?

There are certain communities that have a lot of police interaction due to lots or crime and yes there is stereotypes etc but majority are crime related.


Keep living to yourself

walkbrazil4k:
This is the point and this is why I am educating you about brazil and people can learn from this.

We don't have police racist killings in Brazil

But we have police killings against drug gangs in the favelas and the innocent get caught up and you know the drug dealers are also armed

So the Brazilians killings happens in the favelas and not all Over Brazil.. You get the point now?

I am still telling you again or how else would I say this, Brazil is perfectly safe

Now you see where my anger is coming from, western media have really painted Brazil bad

Blah blah blah no one claimed the US us a saint, no one so stop.

Homeless is mainly due to drug abuse etc and me take health which many times is also driven by drug abuse. As a Nigerian who works hard and makes good choices you will be fine sos to using that as proof that. Brazil is better also the homelessnes in Brazilian slums is way off so please stop.

And fact there are way more help for homeless in the US than Brazil if they want it. Many times they will not want to stay in shelters etc. Take mental health and drugs out of it people can apply for and get help with housing costs through section 8. Not perfect and there can be wait times but there is some help. What is on offer in Brazil?

walkbrazil4k:
My point is there are crimes in the USA and there are crimes in Brazil and people should stop using the favelas to judge Brazil.

USA is not a Saint because it is also crime ridden but they hide it.

Do you know how many homeless people we have in california?do you know how many people die from gun violence? Do you know we have ghettos and slums in the USA? But CNN would never show us

Abeg who know this news channel way you post. Lol

I am talking of international new channels like CNN and fox, ok

Another example everyone knows about the issue of police killing especially due to racism aspect l so here are numbers for you: in the US a country of over 300 million police killed 1000 civilians, in Brazil a country of just over 200m police killed over 6000 both in 2020 but everyone knows about the US and no one talks about Brazil

And you sit there claiming Brazil is perfectly safe. I agree that most of the issues are gang on gang in Brazil and that's the same in many US cities. And it's gangs from various countries operating including Brazil etc that migrate to the US. MS 13 made up of El Salvadoran, Brazilians gangs operate in New York.

walkbrazil4k:
So see my point so why would you use the fevela to describe the whole of Brazil? Now you are telling us some part of chicago is deadly and it is the same thing I am telling you ignorant people about brazil don't use the fevela to judge Brazil.

And yes the US crime rate is high compared to other developed countries but to claim Brazil is safer is just ridiculous.

I REPEAT BRAZIL IS PERFECTLY SAFE

Do you have eye issues? Because you clearly can't read where did I use $7, I used $10 go back and read and stop embarrassjng yourself.


A Nigerian in America is supposed to respond to you for saying people do 2 jobs because they are illegal, lol. This is crazy, how you manage enter America? Lol well America visa is easy

And no CNN does not show us CRIMES and POVERTY in the USA.

I created this thread to compare crimes and not to compare the Brazilian and the American economy and I never said Brazil is safer than the USA, I wonder if you take your time to read properly, I guess you dont

I just wasted my time to arguing with someone that can't tell the difference between within and after. Lol

The news media always show the issues in the US so that's a lie. The police killings etc ars always reported worldwide.

Both countries have experienced increase in crime since covid and here are stats: Brazil mudder rate is 23.6 per 100k while the US jumped from 6 to 7.8 per 100k so again I don't get your point.

walkbrazil4k:
So see my point so why would you use the fevela to describe the whole of Brazil? Now you are telling us some part of chicago is deadly and it is the same thing I am telling you ignorant people about brazil don't use the fevela to judge Brazil.

Please stop abeg and stay in your Brazil.

You used $7 as your reason why Nigerians work multiple jobs and I’ve shown you no one earns $7.

Yes some Nigerian work multiple kind as I said they do not have papers to work so they end up doing menial jobs as they will have to show proof for better jobs.

As a Nigerians and educated if I can work at eg Deloitte will I still do 3 jobs? No those who do 3 jobs are menial lowest wage jobs and most because they don’t have papers. An educated Nigerian with papers will get better paying jobs and only have to work 1 job.

I live in Chicago and yes there is some gun violence but it happens in a few neighborhoods where gangs operate. The violence is mostly gang on gang. Aren’t there gangs in the slums of Brazil as well? Are you thinking Chicago is worse than the favelas in rio? Really?

Yes there is crime in the US no one every claimed there isn’t, it’s reported in the news everyday but it’s all not that you are trying to claim and NO Brazil is not safer.

So I ask again why are you using $7 to try to make your point? No one earns $7 unless you are being abused by a wicked boss who knows you have no papers and will threaten to report you to immigration. And FYI many Nigerians do this to their fellow Nigerians.

And how many million Mexicans live in the US? Nearly 1.4 million Brazilians live in the US and that does not include illegals so what’s your point? 1.4 million v 60k - 120k, wow what a comparison.

Many of the Americans in Mexico retire there due to warmer weather and their pension savings can stretch more, I don’t see what point you’re trying to make.

Many Americans in Brazil will work for American companies, many younger people traveling etc. I seriously do not get your point here.

walkbrazil4k:
Lol you are so ignorant, read the bolded part very well, so Nigerians doing 2jobs are illegal, wonders shall never end

Where did I say Brazil pays better than USA professional jobs are you OK?

You are slow i swear, if I think every one in the USA is on $7 why did I tell you that different states pay different minimum wage? This is just common sense, I even used $10 to calculate for you.

I compared crimes in the USA to crimes in Brazil letting people know that there are crimes in the USA as well


People are coming in caravans because they feel they pick money on the floor in the USA, is that not how you people paint the USA, this is my last response to your ignorance.

By the way we have 60,000 - 120 000 Americans living in Brazil and over 1.5 million Americans living in Mexico

Let me educate you, while the Federal minimum wage may be $7.50, majority of states pay more, and majority of companies pay even more. The few states that may pay the minimum wage are rural very low cost locations so using federal minimum wage makes no sense. The federal rate was set a long time ago to force states to up their rate but it has not been updated in a long time as majority of states and companies pay way more then the $7.50 so stop using the federal minimum wage rate, no one in the US uses it.

Secondly majority of Nigerians who tend to do multiple jobs is because they are illegal and unable to get better jobs, and also many Nigerians work multiple jobs to send money home for family commitments. if it was just to live they will be ok with one job same as you in Brazil.

And the fact you are using minimum wage as your comparison says a lot or are you also claiming Brazil pays better than the US for professional jobs?

This is a job ad I took a pic of for Jewel Osco a grocery store in Chicago, as you can see the starting salary is $18.69 and rises to $30 within 4 years. This is for no education lowest job, so imagine a graduate with papers in the US working a professional job. Or you think everyone is on $7? Please stop this ignorance.

If Brazil was so amazing why are all the Central Americans literally walking in caravans all the way to the US past other Latin counties like Brazil Mexico etc? I guess they are all silly and you are the only wise person.

Can you compare accountant to accountant, banker to banker, software engineer to software engineer etc. in both countries or you will also claim a software engineer will be better off in BRazil than the US ?

Let me educate you one last time because you are ignorant, so let's say you want to work for 7 hours in the usa.

Some states pay as low as $7.50 per hour while some pay $10 and $11 and some pay as high as $15 per hour.

Let's use $10 per hour and you work for 7 hours, so you make $70 per day and let's say you work for 6 days in a week. So $70×26 days and you get $1,820,what do you think you can do with $1,820?

Rent would take around $1000 if you want to atleast live in a good place and you have other bills to pay and you want to build your mansion in Nigeria, lol

So do you now understand why people do 2-3jobs in the USA or work for longer hours?

I always say the truth it is easier to get an American visa as a Nigerian in Nigeria and harder to get a Brazilian visa in Nigeria.

I am not a millionaire and I have no money, I am just telling you the hours I work everyday life is not about having all the millions, happiness is the key and I am happy and contented with my job in Brazil like I said happiness is free in brazil and I hope you learned something new today and you must know that not all that glitters is gold.

And I can't decide to work only 7 hours in the US? Based on our logic everyone in the US is working 18 out of 24 hours right?

Even though it's a big lie, as you claim US visa is easier so how do you expect people to the harder to get Brazilian visa?

Anyway I am still on my way to the embassy. I must join you chop this Brazilian money. Where I work only 7 hours and I'm a millionaire.

walkbrazil4k:
I work 7hours every day and it is OK for me, I can't kill myself, keep mocking your self, it is easier to get an American visa and harder to get a Brazilian visa

And in Brazil I only need to do half job and I'm a millionaire right? As I said I'm on my way to the Brazilian embassy.

Once I get my visa I will holla you so I can stay with you while I get on my feet

walkbrazil4k:
Na you sabi,since you don't understand the stats and by the way money don't grow on trees on the USA, you have to do 2-3jobs to meet up

walkbrazil4k I have seen the light, I now believe the Brazil is a better country than the US. I am on my way to Brazil embassy now to get my visa and join you.

See you soon bro
