otokx: Now that US govt workers are forced to stay at home; will they get paid for those days?

manny4life:

Lol, don't worry about it, with time, things will unfold itself.

The guy na clown. Simple sentence, he can't string together. Running Helter skelter, saying non.sense. Shior.

soul_glo:

But what is the big deal about credit checks in situations like these. If someone is going to be hired to dole out financial advice and tell people how to plan for the future and make good investment choices wouldn't it be wise that their credit is checked to make sure that they at least have a clue about money.

Reincarnated:

U no wan talk now? How u go fit hold up info like that

ozo_emeka: You know what,

I'm actually curious to see if any naija GREEKS on here wil read this and what their opinions are

Afam4eva:
As far as you don't go hungry after paying all the payables that you'll enjoy then it's ok. Nigerians won't mind paying as long as they have OK jobs and there are basic ameinities(Electricity, water, good roads, medicare etc).

imperiouxx:

That's called hating on US for banning Nigeria from DV lottery. I know them by the kind of statement they utter after getting the news.

manny4life:

Lol, I'm under oath not to divulge certain information...

You no know say FBI, CIA and their types dey monitor NL?

manny4life: Btw, this is for those who went to emergency room and they deemed their case wasn't urgent...Now go figure.

I still maintain some hospitals require insurance before they treat you or they request for upfront payment.

INOVA HOSPITAL here in VA WILL NOT treat you unless you have insurance, even in some emergency case.

I beg to disagree. Nigerians are paying but not getting the services. They PHCN for darkness, they pay at toll gates for potholes, they pay tuition for strikes, they pay N97 or more per liter of fuel for long lines at the pump, they pay water rate for dry taps; they pay MTN for poor services. Hilton hotel rates are cheaper in USA than in Nigeria. Go figure! Rents are paid in months in USA and not in years as obtainable in Nigeria.

They pay sticker duties for emblems on their pick-ups. Nigerians pay pay pay. Yet no services rendered.

Is that what you call life?
I can understand though. Ignorance is bliss. Most Nigerians usually see suffering as obligation until they venture outside the country...then
their demeanor changes. For the things that are taken for granted in most countries are luxury items in Nigeria. Common road, electricity, water (yet we are close to the ocean).

Even god damn deodorant is luxury in Nigeria. When some dudes/ladies raise their hands, the stench from the armpit can only make you shout "devil is a liar!"

On the debt ceiling debate; The good news so far is that Boehner has declared that he would be in support of raising the debt-ceiling. But it's yet to be seen if the other Congressional Republicans will toe a similar line.

chiboy1928: Let not fool ourself even if u hold an america green card or citizenship u will still be reffered to as a second class citizen ur accent doesn't even qualify u to a be a first class citizen if u like speak ur english wit ur nose jst like hw most of u guys do over here dat still doesn't make them see u as part of them that discrimination still exist and will always be they dat jst the fact!

dasparrow: @Post

OP, God bless you for this thread. You see, America had been my residence for almost 14 years. I remember when I was coming to America in the late 90s, friends in Europe warned me not to go but I stubbornly did not listen because I was carried away by what I saw on MTV and BET. When I arrived in the USA, my eye come clear. America is nothing like what she portrays herself to be. Infact, America brings out the worst in people oftentimes. You see people asking their family relatives to pay rent even though said family relative(s) is/are unemployed. You see some Nigerians calling immigration on their fellow Nigerians who have not yet sorted out their immigration palaver. You see some Nigerians spending the whole paycheck of their fellow family member who had just migrated to America and had just started working.

Most Americans live from paycheck to paycheck. Debt is a huge issue. Most Americans have mortgage loans, car loans, student loans, credit card debts, infact, 'gbese' all the way. Without credit cards, most Americans cannot survive. The American society is largely a debt-driven society. They encourage you to get into debt so that you can have a credit history. Without a credit history, you can't do much in America.

The racism is something else in America as well. You walk into a store and the whites think you want to steal. Sometimes they stalk you. The average american will harass you because of your accent, your African name, and threat you like crap once they find out that you come from a 3rd world country or from Africa. In America, you have nice neighborhoods and then you have the run down, crime-ridden neighborhoods which you find mostly in the inner cities. Many neighborhoods that have mostly black people and Latino residents in them are poverty-stricken but not all of course. Many neighborhoods are racially segregated especially in New York city.

Overall, America is just there. I truly believe that there are other more tolerant advanced societies an African immigrant can live a good life in. One just has to search. However, as for me, USA just ain't it. Yes, you have constant electricity, water, fast internet access, good universities and the likes. But, the average American will always remind you that you are not part of them no matter how long you reside in the USA and that is the gospel truth. I know some Nigerians will come on this thread and start defending America like their roots lie in that country or like that lives depended on it. However, I believe in telling it as it is. Many Nigerians love lying anyway so that they can keep boosting to their relatives in Nigeria and making themselves feel relevant. The truth however must be told so that people who wish to migrate to USA can make an informed decision. Shalom!

Godson201333: I am living in Europe and i am starting to believe that this racism thingy can be favorable at times.You see that is why Europe is very cleaned and organized than USA.I know there too and when i say very clean i mean very clean but the racism here is higher than USA.

It is just because we black people some of us are violent,dangerous and some do not even have focus.If you see people fighting here they are blacks,If they organize a party they are gonna fight at the end,many of us are just bad..

The rate of blacks going to school here too is very low,we just wanna make quick money.

god_of_music: I've been following this thread with a wise mind-set, I read what the OP has written and I got the cents, authomatically this man has contributed to my life and I am not gonna forget what I have learnt from him so far.

@Moderators He wasn't trying to insult anybody,he was only quoting them with words that seems insultive to the understanding of we the third world countries as 'they' call it.

I just want the wise ones here to take the cents from the OP's Post and add to your account. Trust me, it's gonna multiply and probably make you Rich.
