As much as I hate replying a low level like you, obviously you got no class to start with.
Isn't it funny how you just hate on someone you haven't even met before. See how stupid you sound? 
I have been in the USA since age 16, now am 23.. I have never said anything bad bout Nigeria. FYI, I'm from Nigeria, Akwa-Ibom state precisely. Dear, I own two Unisex hair saloon shop which pays me $600-800 times 4 in 24hrs and Also get paid playing basketball. I own a car and my mommy( a government worker) runs two restaurants, one in New Orleans, 2houses in Gwarimpa, (ask how much a plot is there)Abuja, Nigeria. That's just me N mom(I leave the rest of my siblings to sleep and not for a goat to start with like you) mind you, I've been balling into Nigeria for upto 2 Xmass with Ticket money on me.. You, who is your Father?
I can swear that my 18yr old sis is richer than your wretched father if at all you have and possibly all of y'all family life's savings up to your great grand wretched dead parents..
I never said I'm the first to travel abroad, neither will I be the last.The joke is on you right now, I'm presently having the time of my life in the United States of America!  you on the other hand are hating from the confines of the shackles of your mental slavery which you'll soon be dead with. I can feed and train upto 4 of your family members till their death..
The beauty of this thread is: I'm enjoying myself in the UNITED STATES OF FVCKING AMERICA; I will post what I like, and there's nothing you can do about that. I exit this thread for wretches like you who can't afford travelling to Togo..

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

Show me where i called dangote or otedola on this thread? Young man, in every single street in Nigeria we have millionaires. People with countless houses and business. Every single street in lagos, ph, delta, kogi, benin, anambra etc. I am not even talking about places like GRA in those states. Just normal places, you will see people with duplexes worth over 35 million upward. Unless you are not a Nigerian

I bet u are very young, u seem enticed by the millions and flashy lifestyle u see among few pple in Nigeria.

But remember it's not about the money, it's about feeling secured and comfortable.

I may not have a million in my bank acct but if I suddenly get a sharp pain in my chest now , I would dial 3 numbers and within 5mins there will be an ambulance in front of my house. How about u??

If my child starts convulsing now help will be here in 2mins if it's rush hours a paramedic on motorbike will first come and stabilise him before an ambulance crew will come take him to hospital. Wat would u do?

If I have an accident and there is no road access or the nearest Accident and emergency and far away, helicopter will be called to airlift me out of the scene. Wat would happen to u?

If my house gets burnt down today, the council will give me emergency accommodation and will start looking for a place that will be appropriate for my family. What about u??

I can go on and on, it's not about money. Think outside the box.

Sorry dear, American visa is nothing. Maybe 20 yrs ago but not in 2017. When someone points this truth counter the topic and not the individual. Can you compare someone doing menial job or even a Registered Nurse in America to a bank manager in Nigeria. Come on let's be frank and honest.

I have read some of your comments and i just laugh at your ignorance. Let me break this Nigeria and america controversy..

I have tasted both sides and i can boldly say America is Far more exceedingly better than Nigeria in terms of quality of life: Good road, great healthcare which our rich men in Nigeria travel to get, surplus food, 24/7 light, no air/noise pollution from Generator, you can travel with no fear of robbers on the road, Excellent school system. My very own elder brother is a bank manager in one of the new generation bank in Nigeria and he tells me how he is surviving,i recently sent him some money. How can u compare a registered nurse and a bank manager in Nigeria my wife is an RN getting paid 37$ an hour do the maths yourself and compare with my elder bro who rings my phone every now and then for money.

I recently took a vacation to Nigeria (Lagos) i was suppose to spend 3 weeks i ran back after 2 weeks because of constant power outage i had to buy 2k for fuel every bloody day, noise almost blocked my ear, Sars almost shot me because i refuse to settle them for no reason they labelled me a yahoo/arm robber, the story is for another day. Everywhere looking so filthy, all these is even enough for someone to run back.

America is not a bed of roses on the other hand, its a land of opportunities only if you are willing to hustle and improve your skill, a first timer might work at walmart, manufacturing company (warehouse) earning between 12$ to 15$ you can add a part time job to earn extra cash, all in all in a week a first timer earns between $450 to 500$ after tax and he lives just like those guys u call big men in Lekki and VGC. Compare side to side a nurse in Nigeria and a nurse in america, a bank manager in Nigeria and a bank manager in america. For you to compare a a menial worker in america to bank manager in Nigeria says it all..

If wee see truth make we talk am Nigeria no be am at all, no dey console yourself with hatred because american embassy deny you visa. stop the beer parlour argument and go do something tangible with your life.

stay glue on this channel man, this is just a warning shot..the real bomb is coming soon. People who have some kind of skills or those who learned a trade are even far better than your so called professionals and registered nurse. The greatest lie of america is go to school and become something. Are you aware that college graduates in their 30's are still living with their parents? Why do you choose to ignore that fact?

now get this straight into your rock head- rich nigerians dont live abroad, they all reside in nigeria. The ones who once stayed abroad all relocated without any major sign of success. They got rich off their contacts back home, majority of their businesses are done in Nigeria. You can scream from here to Toyko, noway someone residing in America gonna make the equivalent of 100million naira to come spend on a house unless they are into fraud. VGC is not a big deal? I laugh you, go to Time Square and top areas in new york and see how they smell like piss and shiiit. Most places in new york are only good for donkeys to live in not humans.

another one is here! Doctors normally graduates in 2017 with a heavy loan burden of $350,000 that they will spend the rest of their lives paying back. They get paid a peanut of $50,000 annually for between 7-10yrs depending on their practice before they can start earning $200,000 annually. But meanwhile doctors are rated and that is why some doctor still earn below 100kusd. Dont come with that physcian shiit man cos they are even more desperate than other workers, from fear of losing their license to low rating.

The op is a young man is need of company, I bet he is enjoying all this. cheesy

What excites me most is the way they will treat both rich and poor the same.

I just came back from my friends place, I met their family doctor there because the daughter has lots of rashes and she suspected measles, so to stop other children getting in the clinic , the doctor got off his seat and drove to my friends house. This girl doesn't work because she has 4 kids and of them are very young, the husband is a factory worker. All lives matter, both rich and poor, that's the beauty of this my country.

Goldenboy007:
"He who has not been to other people's farm would always boast that his father's farm is the biggest

There was once an old giraffe and an old pig living in a farm yard. The pig told all the other animals that the farmland is all that there is in the world. He said there are no other places you can go beyond the farmland. However the giraffe tells a different story - he said there is a world out there beyond the farmland, a big beautiful world bigger than the farmland.
The truth is - these two animals are correct in their own right. The pig has short legs so he can't see beyond his height and the farmland, so he can only pass on what he knows. However the giraffe has long legs and neck - he is taller than all the structures in the farmland so he can see beyond the farmland into the beautiful horizon.

We all tell our stories from our little perspective - but you will be doing yourself a great injustice if you think the world is restricted to only what you know.

If you sit in your little world in Nigeria and talk about other countries then you are the most ignorant buffoon - ( I am not insulting the OP, it's a general statement). If you have been denied a visa - find out why and improve your chances or try other countries - see the rest of the world and how they live, stop being a local champion spreading myopic tales.

All countries have their challenges but to compare the average economic life in US to that in Nigeria? It is not every Nigerian immigrants that are doing menial jobs, also some are doing menial but doing great!!!
Some people earn $15 an hour in US and live better quality family life than a bank manager in Nigeria - wisdom is key. I am not the average American but I have more than $10,000 in my account and so are many hard working Nigerian immigrants.
In summary - with reference to the story of the pig and giraffe - you can only talk about what you know. - if the only American Nigerians you have met are the hustlers with nothing to show - then you need to change your circle of influence.
Don't mind them. They're just consoling themselves. I'm sure if someone hands them a visa they'll jump at it.

I bet u are very young, u seem enticed by the millions and flashy lifestyle u see among few pple in Nigeria.

But remember it's not about the money, it's about feeling secured and comfortable.

I may not have a million in my bank acct but if I suddenly get a sharp pain in my chest now , I would dial 3 numbers and within 5mins there will be an ambulance in front of my house. How about u??

If my child starts convulsing now help will be here in 2mins if it's rush hours a paramedic on motorbike will first come and stabilise him before an ambulance crew will come take him to hospital. Wat would u do?

If I have an accident and there is no road access or the nearest Accident and emergency and far away, helicopter will be called to airlift me out of the scene. Wat would happen to u?

If my house gets burnt down today, the council will give me emergency accommodation and will start looking for a place that will be appropriate for my family. What about u??

I can go on and on, it's not about money. Think outside the box.

This is the quality of life I talked about earlier. Quality of life has absolutely nothing to do with wealth

Lies, all the wealth of america were stolen via global capitalism. It is only fools who compare wealth of a nation via gdp that is backed by worthless paper money. The day the dollars dies the illusion will fall off your eyes. DRC Congo is a trillion times richer than America
With this comment of yours in bold about Congo being a trillion times richer than America, in fact you have with that careless comment turn everything on this trend to child play. People that are smart enough with mature intelligence will understand that with such statement, this trend is no more worth their comments.

so sad people will continue to live in the dark even with all the information out there. A typical black man dont believe anything unless it comes from the western media so i am going to post a link so you shut up your mouth forever. You guys are rookies. The uranium used by America to drop the atomic bomb on japan during the second world war was stolen from DRC. The black man is a slave, leaving the most wealthiest continent in the world to work as a dog in America. Yes DRC is a trillion times richer than America and America monopoly on global capitalism via the dollar will be broken soon and they will be exposed as one big shithole. Have a nice read
