ziga: There's possibility of Nigerians helping fellow Nigerians but we have got bad attitude and racking brains towards each other. Nigerian have bad reputation here in UK.

My take on this issue. Most Nigerians think Coming abroad is the end to their problems and frustrations, so we just simply point out the facts, that's not discouragement. And yes, there are lots of bills to pay, in Nigeria you can do without paying most of the bills, credit card not in the West. Secondly, most Nigerians aspiring to come don't have a clear immigration plan, no legitimate plan set, the just want to cross and and FIND THEIR WAY (we all know what that means, mostly Illegal activities) , I also advise against this mentality. What makes some of us look a bit rich when we come to Nigeria, is the FOREX EXCHANGE, with $6000 saved up, when we change the money to Naira, money go full everywhere. This same $6000 can't even pay for a good decent apartment in NY for a year.. But it can pay for 3-5 years rent in Lekki, Ikoyi, Asukoro in Nigeria. Now a case study. The messed up Naira, really Makes Nigerians in diaspora look so successful. Especially if the Nigerian is very conscious in his/her saving and remittance of money to Nigeria. You could be earning 18 dollars per hour/30-40 hours a week. 18*30= 540. 540 dollars is over 150k in Naira. How many Nigerians earn the 150k per month, not to talk about per week. 21 Likes |

factwriter:Yea they do, they are all sailors, mostly captains. The least earned $3000 a month working with shell petroleum then. But the glamour of coming to USA almost blinded them before I opened their eyes. Now his wife have given birth to all his children here. And those kids always come here for medical checkups that cost tax payers a lot. Yet he pays nothing even though he's a rich boy. That's the best way to take advantage of those who wishes to labor here. 1 Like |

It is not really about selfishness. It's more about painting a realistic picture of life in the US or Western Europe. Most new immigrants usually have odd working schedules. It's not unusual to have a job which is a 10-12 hr shift. Even to set up a hair-dressing or cosmetics business, one has to have a license/certification from the state government, and an educational certification too. 6 Likes |

First of all there is nothing like Competition or you would be Competing with yourself. Nobody is Discouraging you from coming, rather people are Warning you about what to expect. 1. Things are not as Rosy as you might believe, the work ethics are different and you dont cut corners. 2. People were also shocked when they first came here and many said "Like say I no, I for no come" Millions have said this Countless times and that is what they repeat to those back home. But now that they have spent Money, Loans, Difficulties to make it here, they decided to tough it out and that's why they didnt return back, though few Returns back 3. There are some people that are just not meant to be here and cant face or cope with the Pressure of the WEST coupled with the Pressure they receive back from home and such takes their own lives.4. Once nobody says you should stay back and not come, they just want you to know what to expect. We did a Movie long ago about Life abroad. Go to Youtube and check "Under Pressure Holland" 5. Finally many people might have been able to Manage and Cope if they were Selfish and just looks after only themselves, but NO! a lot of Pressure is from people back home. You work and have to Share your money with Family and friends back home, while the people here work and use the money for themselves only. That's basically it. Bless 11 Likes 1 Share |

factwriter: Quite a number of those in the diaspora are neck deep in debts. There's no money to even change to the naira sef. Once they see you're jjc from Naija, na to come and meet you to borrow money from you.. As if you'll fall for their gimmicks. Most live a fake life online, and have delusions of grandiosity pretending to be what they're not. 1 Like |
