helpee: We don't know you. This is a faceless forum. Do you now assume we are jealous of you because you met the love of your life on the internet? I had a guy working for me even before trump. He met a fellow Jehovah witness online and they fell in love . I told him same thing. He got a letter from the lady. Got a letter from their kingdom hall he would use the opportunity to attend a kingdom hall conference bla bla. I told him not to mention the lady. He didn't hear. He travelled all the way to Abuja saying they had better success rate than Lagos. The moment he mentioned the lady...the VO just concentrated on the relationship and denied him after just 3 questions. In this your case, it is very very certain they will deny you. You are only going for excursion at the Embassy. Don't say we didn't warn. No VO will give you visa. Let me tell you your profile( not meant to demean you) so you can put yourself in the shoes of the VO and see.....YOU HAVE NO WORK, YOU HAVE NO FAMILY, YOU HAVE NO TRAVEL HISTORY COS YOU CANT EVEN AFFORD TO TRAVEL ON YOUR OWN(Not your fault since you have no job), YOU EVEN HAVE NO HOPE OF GETTING A GOOD JOB SOON SINCE YOU HAVE NO EDUCATION ( YOU DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL), YOU MET A LADY ONLINE( WHEN NIGERIANS ARE KNOWN ONLINE SCAMMERS), YOU HAVE NEVER MET, YOU JUST WANT TO VISIT HER FOR TWO WEEKS AND COME( TO COME AND DO WHAT?) Why will you come back? So you think the VO will somehow become blind or deaf to all these qualities and then grant you the visa because a citizen invited you? He may even feel obligated to protect the citizen from you....since Nigerians are well documented online scammers using love to defraud American. Build a better profile for your future than wasting money on a visa you will most likely be denied of. You should have told the lady you want to go back to school since she want to sponsor you. Get admitted to an easy country in Europe and go and study first. It makes more sense they say experience is the best teacher for a reason he will learn and he is no troll I know many who think just like him |

500k well to be very honest with you 500 grand will cover some ground but not enough grounds because most times initial rent here is six months (at least that was my case) and we have not spoken of trans (this will cost you at least 30k plus, being your first time) subtraction accommodation and transport Will decimate this amount I'm not discouraging you tho some people come with such amount and then rough it out but it's gonna be very very tough because this place can be unforgiving if you don't know someone here to say accommodate you what you can do is to try to increase your capital what you are doing keep doing it when it has reached a reasonable amount You divide the money in two keep one half in an interest bearing mutual funds account then come slug it out in CIV with the second half of it.

Fallenhunter: Nigeria is an oil producing nation and 50% of its population suffers from extreme poverty. Equatorial guinea is an oil producing nation with a tiny population and 70% of its population suffers from extreme poverty. In other oil producing countries with tiny populations they give their people free housing, education, healthcare and jobs. In other oil producing countries with large populations they use the oil to develop advanced economies and to attract foreign investors thus creating opportunities and prosperity for their citizens. In Africa the government steals the resources and people's general apathy and reluctance to actually protest result in oil producing countries being some of the poorest in the world.

Captaintimex: Nigeria greatest problem is that 13 Boeing 747 cargo planes come to Nigeria daily, offloading cargo, then went back empty. Sometimes, they have to use sandbags to stabilize the aircrafts.
5 out of every 6 ships that berth in Nigeria return to their base empty. The only one which leaves with cargo is filled with charcoal, gypsum salt & sesame seeds.
A country of 200m people eating, sleeping, making calls, voting for mercy of BBNaija and contributing almost nothing to the world. All we do is drill the oil, sell it & bank the money, loot 60%, share 40% of the proceeds. Even the oil is drilled for us by foreign companies.
Our youths in their most productive years are selling gala in the traffic, some are hailing frood, Ike & being tachaed, while other borrowed data to come throw tribal tantrums & defend the criminal of bourdillion on seun's platform

You also despise and look down on technicans and vocational education as 'being for illiterates'.
And you want the government to provide subsides, at the expense of investment and economic development.
There are reasons why China, Russia and the US are developed.
