Over here unless you have a degree as a doctor, Pharmacists, etc or some professional degree, you're wasting your time. Skilled workers make a lot of money here. Once you get certified and obtain a red seal, you'll be laughing. School nowadays are a scam, just a business.
what skills thrive there for a lady?

Do you think learning here in Nigeria and getting certificate before coming over is okay or get there and learn?

How do you get certified over there?

Am awaiting your reply please. Thanks

MOST People Will Not Go.

1 u op and the others on this thread who literally run from 9ja are not Most 9ja people undecided
The entire country of 9ja can not pick up and move so improvement is the only answer.


So vote better politicians in . vote for a better President
Or run like u want grin because that's really all u want, Not opportunities.

But don't bad mouth 9ja and her resources when ya go undecided

Your posts are so uplifting, thanks again. They voted wrongly, based on sentiments and tribalism, now they blame my beloved country for their woes. And their only solution is to encourage 170 million people to leave the country and seek greener pastures in America, how reasonable is this suggestion to any right thinking person? Cheers.

All these success migration testimonies would make one feel all he has to do is get to US or Canada by any means necessary...be prepared to work hard and success is guaranteed. Note... all those testifying are abroad legally, with Green Card and had family support. Overstay your visa in these times or enter illegally.... that's when people become trapped period. And yes, whatever his name that is having a hard time is probably one such person. Bottom line... look well before you leap if you intend to migrate...you can end up on Heaven...or Hell. Instead of planning how to migrate illegally it is better to visit and check out the real situation..... there is sooo much you can see that if business minded, you'll forget about staying and prefer to travel to and fro doing business.

Lol. Nice one but u are not entirely correct.
The UK issue and some other countries have really made many Nigerians think all countries are the same. That's why u see so many people going to US embassy with so many unnecessary things that will not even be checked. Lol.
The truth is every tourist or schooling visa appalicant is a potential migrant. They know all these, they are only trying to reduce the rate by putting those checks.
Over 60% of immigrants who have green card or permanent residency or whatever were once illegal immigrants. They either got it tru marriage or the runs they do with $7k. Most that do those runs are either married back here, or have someone already. Having said this, illegal immigrants still work and make some money. The problem is some get so carried away, and feel so comfortable with what they are earning that they don't even move forward. Whle others are making moves to get a permanent residency, then green card, they are busy living the easy life and squandering every penny, moving with wrong cliques. At the end others have gone far, while they don't have a permanent residency, they dont have savings, they still do the same odd jobs they have been doing for years. 90% of those who get tourist visas have zero Intentions to come back here until they are fully secured. (once u over shoot 6months at a goal u have to remain there and find a way to get your residence then green card). There are thousands of single babes there who are citizens even Nigerians who are citizens one can hook up with. Point is being there illegally, is not an excuse not to make it. Focus, get grounded, then u can start doing fala folo. My friend as clocked 8 months now, works as a cashier in a restaurant, earns $10 an hr. Average of $600 a week. Stays in a $750 per month house.(,has flat mates). He is looking out seriously now to get married, though his choice is a white girl, which i am not so comfortable with. Truth is no one is looking for u to deport u, and they don't just deport like that. Don't just comit crime. I have a tourist Visa, granted since Nov last year, the only reason i am still here is I know the only option for me is to get married asap over there. I ain't gonna pay $7k to anyone. Its not gonna be easy at first, im gonna leave my "boss work" here, and probably be a vendor at McDonald's, or some jobs I won't do here. So i have to be fully prepared for it, then i jet off. That I won't go, ko le werk, i will definitely move. In b/w just leave that clown talking about racism blabla. If e nor work well for am, he didn't arrange himself well. He shouldn't discourage others. How can one say he is regretting going to the states? Well!!!

This is very interesting. I recall you actively campaigned for CHANGE/BUHARI persistently on this forum and now you are jetting out permanently on a US visit visa?

OMG these are the real enemies of our country, those who campaign for leaders based on sentiment and tribalism rather than being objective, thanks for bringing this awful change, some of us are still comfortable regardless. It is America I pity because a Leopard never changes its stripes.

No one encourages anybody to leave anywhere. Op is sharing his experience in the US, which is normal to any new-comer.
In time memorial, Nigerians have been lining-up in the embassies to get visas. So, today's recession is not the reasons for leaving wherever they want to go.
The system is such a scumbag from ages, not even the recession making people leave the country.

PlayaOne is one of those people who came abroad and didn't plan his life. After years of being a "playa" while his mates were grinding and built a good middle class lifestyle with assets, he has finally opened his eyes on the opportunities he had and eventually wasted. Now ashamed and embarrassed he needs to make excuses for his successful or lack of it abroad. So now he's running around discouraging people from coming abroad, and blaming racism and everybody for his lack of success abroad. Notice he hasn't taken any responsibility as well? Is someone putting a gun to his head and making him stay in America ? I'm 31 and in Canada, all my mates who came here all own houses and drive nice cars within 6 years after arriving. My cousin who just came here 4 months ago as a skilled worker just landed a entry level job at a major bank taking home 2600 Canadian dollars per month after taxes. You do the conversion. That's a entry level position. And he has his own apartment and about to get a car, not to mention he has the luxury of living in a country that provides everyday amenities (running water, constant neppa,etc). How many 31 year old can accomplish this in naija in 4 months unless there papsi was one big politician stealing money ? The funny part is, my uncle (his dad) was originally against him migrating here. Now he thanked God he did. He use to be one of those naija patriots (like playa), even he can say youths in naija have a future with a straight face anymore.

Playaone is a fool. Original onye ara. Don't mind him. Come abroad and you will not regret it, I promise you! Your destiny is literally in your own hands here, no bullsh!t. You work hard you'll be successful period!

Not funny...but just had to laugh.
None of your friends bought a house.
They leased a house that will be theirs in 30 years.
In other words, they signed into servitude.
A man that builds a house in Ajegunle to call his own is better than ten of your friends put together.
But then, you bought into the illusion.

...just saying. But I understand your point.

How wish Nigerian govt can allow or give same chance to her citizens without "man no man" or favouritism to lease a house and after 30 years it will be finally theirs.
To butress my point,my former landlord is an igbo man,i wont use the word LEASE but bought the house in the year 1998,a 2 story building,he and his family make use of the 2nd floor while he rented out the 1st floor and the basement,the money he makes monthly is double the amount he pays for his monthly mortgage payment.Is that not a good way of having a home and also call it investment?

Back to naija,looking at the country the way it is,what is the % of citizens who have this privilege?
