May be not you and your family.

But un-countless Nigerians have left all that behind...even some have left their kids to immigrate permanently to the US.

AfonjaBoston:
I called, email and wrote letters to my House of Rep member in Nigeria sometime two years ago to come and partcipate in how to move our community ( largest in the district) forward in terms of social development and infrastructure. We even proposed he recommend a date he is available and we will adjust the timetable to suit him.

The idiot was just posting and playing us. Nobody asked him for money cos we are all "well to do members " of the community trying to make the lives of our people better.

Am glad he was outsmarted in the primaries. These are the same set of lunatics summoning an ambassador over some trivial visa issues.

Na ayilala go kill all of them

Yakay:
The fact remains that they are exploiting us whether you agree or not, they are making money off us.

hnmmmmmnnmmmm I can smell scam in the air..

My own case was like this

Me - Good morning
V. O - Good morning

V. O - How many children do you have?
Me - None

V. O - Have you travelled before?
Me - No

V. O - What are you going to in the United States?
Me - I answered

V. O - Sorry you are not eligible. She then gave me my passport and a light green paper that has some content written on it. The summary of what was written in the paper is, I do not have strong ties which will make me return back to Nigeria after my visit.

Me - Thank you
V. O - You're welcome

End of interview.


A particular lady was just asked one question and the VO refused her visa.

Lady - Good morning
V. O - Good morning

V. O - what are going to do in the United States?
Lady - Going for pleasure

V. O - sorry you are not eligible

smh

like i said too much tv. let me educate you, when you here people talk the projects they mean places like red hook , van dyke etc, these are ghetto projects yet they are far far better than you ikoyi towers and barbeach towers, with better facilities and such. Its the black population there and the black on black crime rates which are very high that make these places classified as slums, not that they are as dirty as surulere, ikorodu, victoris island etc.

Nigeria is a huge dirty, filthy slum with dirty streets, filthy cities, no health care system, no laws for women and children, no security etc.

Where do you start comparing Nigeria to USA? I grew up ingersoll projects and i can tell you a so called graduate who has a good job here is just living an average life.

What can you say is your security as a citizen? do you have a mortgage that assures you will own a home in say 20 years? can you get a decent car apart from the Knock off models KIA and Hyundau sell to you guys? for your information the Kia cerato and all model s you buy here are not the same they sell in America. take any Hyundai or Kia car brand new copy down the model number then go and look at the exact model number sold in america. you will weep!! what they sell to you guys are death traps called cars.\
Same with all brand new LG Products, take any tv model you buy brandnew here, go and look at the same model sold in America. this happens with lots of comoanies, why? because Nigeria is a dirty filthy dump

Sharonose:

This country is filled with opportunities,but the elite run the show. If you want to get a MEANINGFUL job, win MASSIVE contracts, you have to be part of them. They want to know who you are, who your father is, which university outside the country is your alma mata. Your profile basically.
There are those who have gotten great jobs and massive contracts as nobodies or without any connections, but the possibility of an outsider getting in is a single digit %. As the country gets tougher and harder, the rich tighten the nozzle and opportunities become more scarce for those outside their circle.

dumodust:
3rd class citizen treatment? are you serious? the amount of racism and discrimination i habe seen in nigeria is much worse... it is so blatant and even part of our culture. you can never completely feel at home outside your village because the indigenes will always show themselves

Xeedorf:
You called your fatherland a shithole? It's unfortunate!

justwise:
What is your definition of 'made it'?

Lexusgs430:
What the record label can is, selectively upgrade contracts, to keep performing artiste happy......

But the record labels are also very greedy...........

Lexusgs430:
If they sign a 2 year deal, and artiste is hopeless, the record company loses...... On the other hand, the artiste might blow mega, record label making a killing, while artiste is made to work like an elephant, but eat like an ant.....

The latter was the issue Kizz Daniel had... .. ...

Mskrisx:
U just a clown

GavelSlam:
They have their problems too.

Go to Brooklyn and see dog-sized rats on the roads.

philip0906:
It's not really about people assuming they know what they are doing because they come from up town. I have a friend who's friend was course mate with a sitting governor's son in the UK. He's back to Nigeria now and already has picked up a massive job in Abuja.His father is also wealthy.

You see Nigeria, the rich and wealthy run the country. They have squeezed out the lower class and even the middle class. The money keeps revolving around them. Is it a coincidence that while many youths are screaming about leaving the country and are complaining about no jobs et al, that these ones are planning to come back home? No. You think they would come back and join the labor market moving around with worn out shoes,praying and fasting to get a job or opportunity of 50,000? These guys from up town have built solid links, have solid backing or their parentshave built it already for them.

benben1000:
The fact is most Nigerians who go to Europe and Asia end up coming back. But US, Canada and Australia? Lie lie...rarely. America nah the worst. If your brother dey go America especially at a young age " teens and 20s" tell him bye like you will never see him again. I say that because all my uncles that went to America, not one out of 7 have come back home. 3 that went to Europe and Asia, come back regularly. That said, the ones in America send money regularly. They just don't want anything to do with the shithole, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehn. I spoke to one of them yesterday, asked him when are you coming back it's been 29 yrs, he kept saying "I ain't coming back to that shithole, God damn that shithole. Trump keeping it real, meeehn." LOL.

Lexusgs430:
It's not the records labels fault, but the artiste...... They sign anyhow contract when they are desperate to blow... After then blow finish, nah to run from contract.....

But then, not all signed artiste blow, so the record labels too a taking a risk......

Lexusgs430:
They are suing him for breach of contract... They probably increased his wage when he go popular, but he clearly did not like their terms of engagement.....

mrrights:
What do you mean by not intellectually match? What made one more intellectually superior than the other?

Is it that you have designed an equipment to test intellectually superiority and you have applied it on both women or that being a wife to a president has suddenly made someone more intellectually superior than the other?

Oga, you have a problem you need to deal with. It's called brainwash. You have been brainwashed and conditioned to reason like an inferior being.

You need to break the box. Yes, you can do it. Free your mind from that bondage

Timil:
Whats the big deal if Toke Makinwa inspires Michelle Obama.

Africans especially Nigerian's have a bigger inferiority complex that they now see the western man or the western woman as a God who is better than them. Nonsense!

I don't know why you folks are always feeling inferior to the westerners just look at this eediott who believes a African can't inspire Michelle obama, who the fucckk is Michelle obama??.

If not for her husband who would have known Michelle Obama??

The westerners have a better environment, they are living a good and comfortable life than us I don't dispute that but when you start to feel inferior to them, when you start to treat them like they are some God is what i'm against.

They are no way better than us as individuals in fact they are individuals backed by a working system, conducive environment and good leaders, if African's also have this opportunity I believe many African will succeed even better than the westerners.

Stop treating them like they some God they aint any God they are just like you.

BlackBaron:
Feels sad successive governments use this bridge construction for propaganda closer to elections.
Started from Obasanjo in 2007.

highqueen:
Oh y'all stupid mofos should take back seat.

In a non tribalistic and non nepotic country, this project would have long been done and even working without any noise.
But here in zoogeria, they are playing politics with basic needs of people.

Mtchew.

KELVINXY:
