tpia@:

silly question, imo.


a peaceful place can be turned into a war zone at any time and same goes for racism.

We know,

tpia@:


since you already have misgivings about philadelphia, then just go somewhere else or isnt your priority supposed to be where you can find a job and housing within your budget.

what's with all the picking and choosing if you're not even there yet.

Honestly you get problem, if have no sensible contribution to make y not move to another thread, abi na by force.

kech:

@OP you should be looking at the whole package; cost of living, diversity, safety, job opportunities and the likes. From your list, I'll say Connecticut has the least crime rate, but I don't know if it will be a good place for you to start as a newbie in the U.S. The rent can be pretty high, there are not many job oportunities compared to some other states on your list and the transportation system is not as established as some other states (If you don't have a car). Connecticut is a great place to live, but as a newbie just starting to hustle, it's not the place for you. I understand the way u feel about not wanting to stay where too many Naijas are , but the places are not so bad. There are reasons Naijas flock to certain areas. If there are no opportunities there, they WON"T be there. The good thing about it is that you get integrated into the system faster. It'll be easier to find Naijas that can help you get a place or look for a job or recommend you to someone. The only advice I'll give is, as a newbie, be careful of the first set of people you meet (Naija or otherwise), who want to "help" you and maybe "introduce you to the system", or "show you around and how things are done". They could make or break you.
Anyway, I think you should look into these states.
New York/New Jersey
Maryland/Virginia
Texas

But to be honest, I wouldn't rule other states out because it also depends on what you want to do when you get there. What industry do u want to work in? Some states have more advantages in some areas than others. As for the racist thing-y, there are racist everywhere. Just bear it in mind that States in the Northeastern U.S are more racially tolerant than States in the South.

Thanks, i think i'll take time off work and check the level of grounds over there, will probably stay there (Burlington, NJ, cousin) for like 2 - 3 months and if things do not click well i'll hold on to GTB for a while. Thanks for the contb.

Thanks Jay bee, no more fuss

ibadan1:

From the list you provided New Jersey and New york are about the same although you did not say if this was New York City or New York state which is very rural and vast. For the best prospects in terms of Jobs and least racist I would say Maryland. its big enough so you can avoid our people just don't move to silver spring and its environs or you will think you are in Lagos. Avoid the new England states for racism. Delaware is quiet but not sure about job prospects. Chicago nice parts are very expensive but job prospects are not that good. Depends on what you want really, they all have good and bad points.

Tnks Ibadan

Lol

D-sense:

U re scared of being killed
U no wan die

na u wan kill me

jay bee:

Thought the key thing you ought to be looking at is, the city that will provide you with the best chance of getting a Job plus the ease of integrating yourself into the community

tot you already know what i'm looking for, isn't low level of racism = integration. I know you live in ibadan so pls mute.

kpozaa:

My dear Yankee will be what u want it to be for u, If u get less racist in a one city, the gun crime may be high Or High racist Low gun crime.  It boils down to the neighbourhood u live.
My Choice for U -
1) Maryland OR Texas (Dallas) Though Naijas de there but na soft landing for a newbee)
2) New  York (Big Apple for all man. its like Eko) but it has The very Good, The very bad and The very Ugly oh)
3) Illinois (Chicago) - get blacks

U may need fellow country men assistance as a newbee in number 1) then u can relocate when u become oldies to anywhere like DC, North Caro or even LA, Miami,  Vegas.

God bless u

God bless you, pls what about New Jersey i know few people there, just like i know few ones in Maryland.

Mudley313:

as business organizations (which they actually are) they are not failing at all. they're reaping the maximum of profits and financial benefits, or what do you say of MOGs now owning private jets; tell me if thats failure

Agreed! i like u for that

Mudley313:

if i begin to highlight the evils that has come from the vatican, church of england, the catholic church etc through the ages, there'll not be enough space here. ever heard of the crusades, the inquisitions, the middle ages when jews, and others of different faith were persecuted. these guys murdered more than hitler and stalin combined. even though they're all an evil to society i prefer 419 churches to those who cordoned and aided slavery and murdered millions

Fa fa foul, the above were mere speculations with no theoretical facts. I once thought these churches contributed to slavery but hey they rather fought slavery. Dont allow the Jehovah witness to deceive you about the catholics , in fact during WWI AND WWII the catholic played more charitable role than any instituions and by the way have you read the movement of John Wesley, William willberforce etc these leaders of church denomination to stop slave trade. However i can agree with you on occultism in some catholic churches but of course there will always be judas in any righteous gathering. In constrast to false indoctrinated belief many slaves in those days were rescued by the churches and educated i'e Bishop Ajayi crowther, Martin Luther King 1 and many more. Parliaments decides slave market not the church.

Nigerian churches are worst, their members suffers in high doomly darkness, hunger, high level of poverty, rituals name it,

It's all business not for charity and salvation.

@sexy74

Are you[b] Pastor sexy Dayo[/b] of "All miracles international church at Egbada Lagos" ?

My guy i understand you are in UK but here in Nigeria church business is highly lucrative, you don't pay any tax, you dont have to buy and sell all you need to do is train yourself in communication skills that's all and the sky is the limit.

I have a land at Agbado, Lagos if you are willing to start one

I think every child is a gift from God and it doesn’t matter whether it is female or male. We should learn to appreciate our children the way they come. Who can tell which sexes of children would be more useful to the family?

Whether it’s a male or female child, the important thing is: the child is given the right training. When I say right training, I’m not necessarily saying the child must be sent to the United Kingdom or United States of America to study. If a child is given the right morals and values, that child is bound to be useful to the society and I think that is what is necessary.
I think we should stop talking about female and male children in this present generation. We’ve gone past that age where issues like this should be our major headache

@ Manmustwac

Seems you are the king on nairaland pls where did get the cartoons from?

I've googled for almost one hour even ask jeeves but nothing is coming up

I now realise many nairalanders are the biggest hypocrite on earth, Please i want every one of you to be nonest with him or herself for ones: and conclude in your various heart of who is more responsible btw every one of you and me

13 Wanking
14 Brothel etc

Now, haven't kept my virginity up to this level and wish to loose it to someone outside the box; and to someone (if at all may qualify) that will quantify my taste it's now problem. Every one of you is just a big hypocrite of the highest height. I wonder why the headache
