Just continue deceiving yourself while time flies. With over half of America earning less than $30,000 annually, I won't be surprised if you return back to Nigeria in your mid 50's to start all over again as a carpenter. Face reality or be ready to live in shame

HERE ARE 25 TRAVEL WARNINGS FROM GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD TO THEIR CITIZENS VISITING/LIVING IN THE US.

Here are some from the list:

19.) THE AMERICAN DREAM ISN’T REAL (FROM RUSSIA)

Russia’s travel advisories get snarky, advising
Russians of the U.S.’s hypocrisy over economic
inequality: “The ‘American dream’ originates
from here, as does another model—the special
democratic character of American society with
its ‘incredible freedom.’ However, due to the
presence of the ‘young aristocracy’—already
formed in the 20th century—and the specific
model of American society, inequalities in socio-
economic status between rich and poor are no
lesser than in any other country in the world.”

16.) DON’T EXPECT AIR TRAVEL TO BE SAFE
(FROM CANADA)

The Canadian government is not impressed by
U.S. air safety policies. “Do not expect safety
standards to be the same as in Canada,” it
warns. Maybe Canadians just aren’t used to
having to take off their shoes?

5. )WATCH OUT FOR GUNS AT NIGHTTIME
(FROM CANADA)

Canada, like many other countries, warns its
citizens that guns are much more common in
the U.S. than in other countries. Its travel
warnings advise that “the possession of
firearms and the frequency of violent crime are
generally more prevalent than in Canada.
Within large metropolitan areas, violent crime
more commonly occurs in economically
disadvantaged neighborhoods, particularly from
dusk to dawn. Verify official neighborhood
crime statistics before planning an outing.”

1.) DON’T GET RIPPED OFF AT AN ORLANDO GAS
STATION (FROM UK)

The British government, in its travel
advisories, singles out Orlando, Florida for
ripping off tourists. “Petrol stations that do not
display the price of fuel usually charge
considerably more than the national average for
a gallon of fuel. They’re often found close to
tourist destinations and airports, and
notoriously near to Orlando International
Airport.”

OVERSEAS TRAVEL WARNINGS ABOUT USA MOUNT

Government travel advisories are common for war-torn, disease-ravaged nations, but a growing number of countries are warning their citizens about taking trips to the United States.

The United Arab Emirates, Bahamas, France, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Germany are among those urging caution to U.S.-bound travelers.
The concerns include mass shootings, police violence, anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT attitudes and the Zikavirus.

While it is too soon to determine if the warnings are hurting U.S. tourism, the warnings tarnish the image the U.S. promotes abroad of a country that prides
itself on being a welcoming society and bastion of democracy....

if you are rich Nigeria is the best place to be,giving birth to your children in the US while rich will do more damage to your children than good

poor people run to america to give birth thinking they have provided their children with a good life,in the future when that child is wealthy it will do more harm than good to him.

for wealthy people birth in the US makes one a citizen whether you want it or not a wealthy USA citizen who never lived in the USA is liable for a tax of up to 50% of his/her worldwide income This is true even if he/she left the USA the day after birth.If a USA citizen by birth does not file a whole lot of paperwork every year, he is criminally guilty of many serious crimes, plus he/she owes a huge amount of money plus penalties and fines. A person with one USA parent is in the same boat.

One way to escape is to renounce USA citizenship, but that is a nightmare of waiting, filing, paying fees, and finding an official who will “accept” renunciation. Then too, most banks all over the world will never open an account or do any business with a “Toxic American” Why? Because then they too are caught in a paperwork nightmare & face criminal penalties and fines

Let me tell you something you guys dont know, i also believed what u just wrote when i was naive just like you, Most companies are looking for experience not certificate, some do ask while some NEVER ask.. For example a friend of mine in texas recently got a job as a clinical research associate earning $110k per year without certificate, they only questioned him about his experience and he was given the job. I can go on and on.. Forget what u read on paper sir, not everything is true.... My people perish for lack of knowledge..

And what about the part where he said Nigerians also drink garri and kulikuli in America and save their best clothes at the bottom of their luggage to look def when they visit Nigeria? How come you also skip the part where he said all he pays in the United States is bills, bills and bills while some of his friends who come to America from Nigeria bring in 15 million naira for shopping he could only imagine in his dream. You must have also forgotten the part where he said countless Nigerians are roaming up and down the street doing nothing and can't go back home because of shame. Just keep twisting the video to fit your narrative, you are doing a great job!
falopey:
People won’t understand that this man is talking in two different perspectives.

First, you don’t have a reason to relocate to America to start over again from scratch if you are doing well at home. Can you imagine a lawyer doing well in Nigeria relocating? He can never even be able to practice in the US unless he starts over to study American legal system again in the university as against the British common law he is familiar with. Or else he will have to abandon practicing law for good.


Second, if you are just starting your life, you finish Nysc and no job, you have not invested so much in your career back home that you now want to throw away, America is the best place for you. That’s what this man is talking about .

You see why i say u are daft cheesy, before you can even take the certification you will need at least one year of on field experience, you start from becoming a clinical research coordinator then you move on to become a research associate, that was the path he took.. Don,t just go and dig up links and think what is written is final..

Let me share with you and others what also assisted me to be in the position i am today.. Ever before i traveled i was just like you arguing with anybody online (Nairaland) i never wanted knowledge just arguments on what i read online.. But i later changed and started making more inquiry from the fellow i was arguing with, and he gave me enough information and with Gods grace i traveled to US..

I never ever forever believed people make 6 figure income without a certificate until i met a guy HERE ON NAIARALAND someone introduced him as his mentor living in atlanta he is into Oracle DBA, i got in contact with him and the rest was history.. The worse thing you can do to yourself is arguing with people who have the first hand info and experience.. Dont just go and dig up links from the internet, i can give u links on NIGERIA IS THE POOREST COUNTRY OR SUDAN IS THE RICHEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.. The key is learn from those that have been there..
