bjhaid: K1 visa is a far cry from somebody traveling with visiting visa just to do under table job to survive. Dude i don't know any company in western world that gives a personal driver to their managers. you drive yourself or find your way to work. Is either your friend is lying or you are exaggerating things 44 Likes |

bjhaid: Which company is he working for that gives him a chauffeur?! I'm not saying he is lying to you, but in developed countries, even the head of blue chip companies either drive themselves to work or they use trains/taxis. I'm guessing if a visa holder can be given a driver, then passport holders working for the same company will be given drivers as well. The company will be spending a lot on drivers for its staff; this is a practise that even Microsoft UK, Apple UK, Schlumberger etc don't even do. The best they do is give a car allowance for you to lease a vehicle, not hiring dedicated drivers for their employees. Infact, I'm keen to know the name of the company your brother works for, maybe I need to dust my CV and apply to work for them. ![]() 44 Likes |

Because we don't want criminal minded Nigerians overrun the place with crime. The country i grew up in , there were only professional Nigerian expats working in the oil and gas industry and other reputable jobs, high paying as well , but fast forward 10 years later i saw a Nigerian brother running on the street just past my brother and i after robbing an indian fellow on the street. i was ashamed , because i just saw the Nigerian guy on the street like few days before , Now i have to carry my ID everywhere i go because people now think Nigerians are criminals, when 10 years ago we won the award for the best immigrants . just imagine. Nigerians are nuisance once there are too much of them . 28 Likes 1 Share |

helpyom:And you think 40k is bad. You are even lucky you have a job that pays that much... And who told you jobs are in abundance overseas...lol My friend with a msc in proj management from a UK uni applied to Mcdonald 7 times, yet he was rejected..despite that i helped pushed good reference on his behalf as i worked there at that time... This was after he could not get jobs in his profession. He eventually returned to Nigeria where he now works in an NGO. In Canada, i have met graduates from Canadian Uni working in walmart as cashiers/stockers. Some cant even get jobs at all and are trapped with student loan debts running into thousanda of dollars. I dont think you know how hard and low paying McD and walmart jobs are. Do you? I worked mcd in Uk, got my palm burnt by bread toaster on my occasions, walmart job when i came to Canada and broke my wrist lifting huge boxes and spent months visiting physios, labour job where i hit my thumb with a sledge hammer despite all my degrees from naija and the UK...Dont let me even get started with the ex pwc, mtns, nlng, doctors, accountants e.t.c that i know working shit jobs in Canada.. yet someone like you would get angry at me if i was your uncle and didnt send you money or help like in your thread...lol. U can come abroad ooo..no one is gonna discourage you...but its also good to prepare your mind that the first 3-7 years would be tough "if you came in legally" so you need to have your mind prepared. If you come in illegally, that is even worse..Imo, it's good to let people know what they are getting into.... The positive vibe to it is that after the years of sacrifice if you can slug it out, then you shall reap the reward of abroad. 42 Likes 6 Shares

AreaFada2:This is so true. The fine houses and cars are even all mortgages and car finance, and that is even if your have a job that is atleast stable to an extent..and the person better pray not to lose his/her job. The good thing about Naija is that people with a good or okay job can still afford to pay cash down for the luxury of life and you dont have to worry about losing it all in an event of job loss...but overseas, na soso debt everywhere. still i will take the debt+access to excellent healthcare and good standard of living if one slugs it out compared to the bad healthcare system and low standard of living in naija. May God help us all. 12 Likes |

I can't imagine this is correct (that some top executive has a dedicated driver, etc. as you said). Very unlikely! I catch the train with owners of multi million $ companies here in Chicago. We all head into the city for work. Very Rich or Poor, we all catch the same train. Now some TOP executives that travel for work - That usually pop in on Monday and are out to their respective cities (Houston to Chicago for example) on Thursday evening or Friday, may have a Limo pick and drop them at the airport, but that's about it. No company here will give you a chauffer and all that stuff they do in Nigeria. bjhaid: 14 Likes 2 Shares |

salford: Just one question? Why u still there if there are no jobs over there. so you want to compare Nigeria rate of unemployment to there with just that one guy? Note:Each country has it's own rate of unemployment but Nigeria's own is 61% high with our population contributing more of youths...you can't compare any western European country or America with the rate of unemployment here. 24 Likes |

helpyom:I didnt say there are no jobs over here. Just letting you know the jobs are also not easy to come by. Even the so called survival jobs would still not be handed to you on a platter of gold e.g cleaning or hotel bed laying jobs. Employers would ask you for years of experience in cleaning/operation of buffing machine or bed laying. I stayed cos i was determined. Alot of Nigerians arrived Canada/UK around the same time i arrived, and returned home cos they couldnt bear the hardship/difficulty... You are suprised..yes, lots of nigerians and other foreign nationals return to their home countries every year when they realised abroad is not eldorado and they were better off at home...... I Suffered for some years and eventually broke even. I am glad that i slugged it out...I stayed back cos of my kids...atleast my children would have excellent education, good healthcare, good stndard of living e.t.c they would not have had access to in Nigeria. They would also find it much easier than i did when i moved here. 20 Likes 1 Share |

If you are working in a good job in naija and you want to migrate...odikwa risky..think am well.
