You're making the marriage route seen easy. If it was so easy why won't all the illegals especially Mexicans do it ? If you entered the US illegally it's near impossible to do that route. And if entered legally, you have to go through interviews, prove you've been married for at least 2 years, before you get the permanent green card. Even getting someone to go through with the whole process is hell. You got to pay them like 10k USD, they'll have to remember and collaborate both your BS stories, live together,etc. You'd be surprised how fast these fake marriages fall apart when the man/woman doesn't really love you, leaving you back at square 1. And of course if it doesn't work out, that 10k does not get refunded. I feel that 70 percent rate is false but I have no proof. But bros, stop simplifying the thing.

You're not American and i doubt you've lived there beyond a year or two... but you're heavy on the phony accent. May i remind you that the upper middle class average American does not use ghetto speak? Yawn.

For the record guys, the sensor shown in the picture is a proximity sensor. It most likely an infrared sensor. Same thing used for the hand dryer too and in those metal detector doors in banks in Nigeria.

For street light we also have LDR: light dependent resistors, that's why street light go off in the day and come on at night.

You also have cameras that act as proximity detectors too. Mostly used in he US for crime monitoring, robotics etc.

Behind the tile/walls there is a small circuit that provides the power and circuitry to control the sensors.

If you really want to be nutty, use a darktape to cover that sensor and the toilet urinary won't flush.... plese try it!
Pls remember to remove the tape; this is for learning purposes only ciao.

I havr a 2 years visiting visa that expires in 2018. Still confused ehat to do. I won't be a party to arrangee marriage for green card. Looks like that is the only way to get a green card if u overshoot ur time of visit or u actually get married to a citizen. Now i am confused. The only thing i need to do here ia desert or "put paper down". But what if i stay back and visa expires, (if u stay above 6 Months u already broke the rules). Just confused cos i wont do arrange marriage ir papers. Learnt flights are cheaper around feb to maybe may. I can afford it even now, but finding it difficult to make a decision.

You can easily find true love amongst hundreds of marriageable Nigerian-American girls in US. You don't have to engage in "arrangee" marriage.

JonSnow:



Dude, I have a relative who doesn't have green card, she earns $2000 ++ every month


How many graduates can boast of that in Nigeria?

You already converted the $2,000 to naira at the parallel market rate, and you probably screamed "almost One Million naira monthly!".

A graduate earning half of that amount in Nigeria would be living better than the person you mentioned.

A simple analogy, with $2,000 monthly you'll be to have haircut 118 times (at $17 per cut) whereas with half of that amount (N500,000), you'll be able to have 2,000 haircuts (at N250 per cut).
Again, remember that the money is earned in US and would be spent in US.

Lol. I ignored that post. What about house rent of probably $600 or$700 a month for one room oooo. They will just be doing some funny conversions.
$2000 should never be a motivation. That isn't money living in the US. Though I don't agree with some of ur assertions.

what is easy?? Life here? Then you dont know the American tax man or the high cost of living in a 1st world country

Where a government is accountable, a good citizen would be willing to pay tax. In US, your taxes work for you whereas in African countries, a good chunk of government revenues goes into private purses.

In your country, there are lots of opportunities for those who want to utilize. I'll give you two some examples. Students' loan is available for eligible citizens, you don't have to know anyone to get it unlike what obtains here in Nigeria.
Over there, if you have a job, you can easily purchase a home through single digit mortgage facility but here you have to save to build a house.

False... that graduate will be lucky to have a job that pays that much in Nigeria in the first place. That same salary is expected to help with food, rent, a car, generator (plus gasoline/diesel to fun it daily), a steady source of potable water... these are all things the person earning $2000 in the US would not have to deal with (other than paying bills, which can be dirt cheap depending on where you choose to live). Nobody needs 1000 hair cuts a month.

To make comparisons that people can easily relate to, such simple analogies are used. No one is saying anyone need 2,000 haircuts in a month.

Nothing is false about what I said. There are millions of graduates earning more than that in Nigeria. It's obvious the relation referenced in the post is not a fresh graduate! No one has said fresh graduates in Nigeria earn N500,000 monthly.

Oga Americana, he never said he was an Americana. The way u guys that have stayed abroad for a while quickly wash people down is not fair. U were once like him, and he may meet u were u are and even overtake u. I know numerous people who left and got married and are doing fine, talking of personal friends i have more than 5 of them including Riwan who is a Muslim. He is married and still married with a beautiful daughter 5 years after. He works with an oil and gas coy now. Its only Kelly who.is a warri boy that got divorced, biut he already has his green card. He doesn't calm down even before he left. He is still single 2 years after divorce. Others are doing fine with kids. Bidemi has 3 kids and still married to same woman. He stated what he knew, there was no point attacking him and discrediting him. No big deal getting married there. We know the process is not easy, but its worth it. Nothing is easy.

1. If he wasn't American then why is he aping slang that is mostly reserved for the uneducated?
2. I was never like him - there is no sense in speaking like a tout really, just because the "phonetics" impresses Nigerians who know next to nothing of the real American culture.
3. He won't meet me (because he doesn't know me)...
4. Overtaking is not an issue... that is Nigerian nonsense. Every man has his/her own lane in life.
5. No one is saying no one should get married... just do it right and not simply as a means of getting a green card. It really is not that complicated.

LOL I haven't laugh like this in years. Na def of Yankee I go give. My cousin is the same way but I'll be sponsoring him out of there soon.

I was back home for christmas, I speak with you from Nigeria now. Things are really bad true and I do not dispute tha fact that you can easily get a lot of things here abroad that you lack back home. But I tell you, just like Maslows hierarchy of needs, you would want more than food, shelter and electricity and security with time. The tribal slurs and all what have you in Nigeria is mainly online..its not bad in every day life in Nigeria. Ofenmanu is not a derogatory term, it means people who cook with too much oil...its like saying Oyibo is derogatory...wait to you come abroad, you will be amazed by the number of racist and ignorant white people around. Some hide their scorn and disdain for you and give you a fake smile (they learn that smile in school) but others would call you names it would make you feel really bad. So sister its a give and take thing, its not all green grass anywhere. Most of the people posing for you abroad are trapped, they are too ashamed to come home for fear that they be termed failure by friends and family...the nice Facebook pictures are to deceive you that all is well, most of them do very low jobs that you cant even imagine, because its really difficult to migrate from Nigeria at a later age and out compete kids who grew up in the system, and beat them to really good jobs...a 16year old kid abroad is on the average smarter than a 30year old man in Nigeria. I know there is nothing that you will tell a person in Nigeria right now about the true lifestyle abroad that they would understand, I pray you get a Visa soon so that you can see for yourself. I am planing on relocating back to Niger, I am working on a plan. cheers!

Take note that Oyibo people also fight and act unruly, its just that you cannot join them because it can go into your records if you get arrested and this could affect your visa extension or your stay in the country. So if you see trouble you must stay clear even though nah your trouble them find unless you have permanent residency.

I have not taken any position on which is better, Nigeria or US. No position on such issue could be right or wrong. It's just the perspectives of that person on how he sees things at that moment, and of course this is not static.

However, anyone wanting to migrate to US or Europe should do it a legitimately. I always tell young friends thinking of migrating that "it is a crime to fall in US or Europe as an illegal immigrant". Though not a crime, but it is just to illustrate how life can be difficult for illegal immigrants in such countries.

Your analogy is right but how will you cut hair 118 times. The money in America is for Americans. But the least jobs in America can make you live average life, not what is obtainable in our hemisphere, bro.

How we you cut hair 118 times?

There is no graduate that didn't study statistics in school, at the worse scenario as an minor course.

Have you ever seen anyone cutting hair 118 times a month? The analogy is simply to demonstrate what $2,000 can buy, taking data from the thread.

It's a shame the day I saw an Electrical Engineer struggling to remove a bottle cork. I simply collected it from him and rubbed the bottle neck a few times, and thereafter removed the cork. He was amazed but I was quick to remind him of his elementary physics. Objects expand when heated. After rubbing my hand against the bottle neck, it expanded a little so that was why it was easy to remove the cork.

What we studied in schools are meant to help us in our daily living.

It's what you wrote, 118 times. A job in McDonald in the US can make you live average life unlike a job in Mr Biggs in the street of Lagos. Do the mathematics, too.
