the real question is why are blacks (nigerians especially) the majority when it comes to green card marriage visas? ![]() other races and nationalities dont seem to be rushing this option the way nigerians/blacks are doing. |

the mentality that making it outside the shores of Nigeria is just crazyyyyyyy... sit yo ass and think of what you can do to make money...even in the US you don't pick money on the floor tho...it's just laziness on the part of our youths...dangote didn't leave Nigeria yet he bosses foreigners... well decision is individualistic and if for a blue passport you start banging your grand mother, issorait...not far anymore the US passport will be worthless it has started...most countries have removed their foreign reserves from US dollars into Yuan (renminbi), yen, swiss franc etc...with a US passport wherever you work on earth you'd be taxed back by the US government so your money is not safe wherever you are... imagine getting taxed from the country you work then getting taxed back home again...mehhh...your life like PS2...press X to deduct..I've seen many US citizens that ran away to China, Brazil, even Cambodia and Vietnam cos of extradition laws...THINK BEFORE YOU ACT...the blue passport isnt a jail free card its welcome to jail card...nonetheless there are hardworking youths out there selling gala and chips on the street who wanna make it without shortcut and that's where the blessing lies...You go to Queens NY you get shot in the damn head when grandmas grandson discovers she married her age mate... 2 Likes 1 Share |

Marriages for green card are done by people of all nationalities in the US, It is not just a Nigerian thing. However what most people do not realize is that majority of the Nigerian folks hustling here did not leave Nigeria because they were not doing well, Many of them were actually doing pretty good with high paying jobs and great career, meanwhile they wanted more out of life and felt Nigeria was not looking promising enough especially for their children and children's children. Now you hear of Nigerians doing Nigeria proud in the US. How did you think majority of them got their green cards? ..lol, It is the same story- And for every 1 Nigerian male with an ugly white chick, we can definitely come up with 20 Nigerian male with beautiful and young white chicks, so let us stop with the pull down syndrome, If you get the chance to get american green card with the accompanying path to citizenship, grab it- It doesn't necessarily mean you have to live in the US, but you know you have other alternatives in case Nigeria goes up in flame.....Need i say more? 5 Likes |

pansophist:So ur definition of a decent lifestyle is engaging in sham marriages so as to secure a future in green pasture? People who have something worthwhile doing here in nigeria don't bother about having green card, they have the money to get them visa to secure their stay in any country they wish to sojourn. It only becomes pathetic when people who have no hope of survival in nigeria start spending their life savings just cos they want to be in the us at all cost. Most endup being scammed by their hookup agent or risk being deported when immigration gets wind of the fraudulent marriage. So what will be the gain at the end? |

Lol listen folks.. Don't get it twisted, as much as I agree it's a height of desperation, it is the only way for these guys. People who go down this route are not stup*id, they know what they want. It's east to castigate them, but what's the alternative? Go back to the cesspit called Nigeria where majority are hopeless & facing a very bleak future? Nah!! They're better off taking that risk, it's a calculated risk. The OP says the anxiety of constantly looking over one's shoulder is enough to wear the person down,lol...... True as that might be, it is nothing compared to what you will face in Nigeria, where you will have to constantly look over your shoulder for the rest of your life, then add insecurity, corruption, poverty, lack of electricity, terrorism, and you have a recipe for shortening your life. Most of these guys have nothing, no hope, they managed to get themselves to America & if it entails sitting on the edge for five years before they settle, I think it's logical. Nothing good comes easy, you've got to work for it. People spend years trying to achieve their goal, some even spend it in jail. Everyone has got to weigh up their personal circumstances and see what choices they have. If an American passport holds your only lifeline, then by all means get on with it, 5 years is a very small sacrifice. It doesn't mean an American passport will solve your problems, but it will give you (& your family) freedom to explore and realise potential in a sane, and functioning society, it will give you freedom of movement around the globe, it will give you stronger diplomatic backing......... Things your country is unable to provide. Don't get it twisted, this is a no-brainer. 5 Likes 1 Share |

pansophist:Common trait here, u wana agree with the ryt facts i stated. U said ppl get green card to secure decent lifestyle in order to avoid the ills in the country. I said, people who av good livelihood here don't bother about having green card, they can get visa to secure their stay where ever. Its desperate people who don't have even have hope of survival here that bother about green card by any means necessary. There's no reason to support actions of desperate hopeless peeps who are clamouring for green card. Most (desperates) end up doing menial jobs over there. Is that what u call decent lifestyle? Reasons for having Decent lifestyle only applies to those who have legit means of survival. |

prettyboi1989: Do you know that a huge amount amount of Nigerians abroad are from wealthy family? Do you know that those who commited marriage of incovinience are the minority? and many are well of too? Do you know that a huge amount of your politicians are dual citizens from a highly develop country? Before securing a visa, the embassy scrutinize your circumstance when issuing an entry clearance, and this is a requirement most Nigerians cant afford. I know dozens of Nigerian here in Europe that left bank jobs and different kind of highly level paying prefession just to immigrate here, its funny you consider a decent living by making money only. With your millions, you still have to apply for a visa anywhere you want to go, education quality is very low and not respected anywhere, some sickness cannot be handled by our medical society, should I name more? Its evident you havent been outside the shore of Naija if not, you wont be spewing this. I repeat, not only poor people immigrate and peeps who commit marriage of incovinience are the monority. 3 Likes |

pansophist:Ah ah? Do u find reading a problem? Or understanding what u read a problem? I wrote "reasons for finding decent lifestyle applies to people who have legit means of survival." That was on the last line of my previous comment. I wonder what u people gain from berating peoples post when u all don't even understand what the post means. Read it again and understand before u start talking like som1 who is ignorant. Being out of this country doesn't mean those in the home country aren't of any substance. Yet u still can't understand my simple facts. Well knowledge can't be bought. |
