Case 1.. I have a friend named Mr A. Mr A inturn has a friend named Mr B but i havent heard of Mr B before. So I met Mr B when I was in Nigeria planning to come here last year..

Mr A told me on phone that Mr B is working in one country in the middle east and after the whole deduction of bills, he is only left with 50k savings for a whole month after spending 13hrs at work. He said he would love me to put him through some usa visa application process which I did. He left the middle east and came back to Nigeria

I left Nigeria and Mr B was always in contact with me staying very humble to the extent he can even travel to abuja from lagos IF i say i need a cup of water in abuja lol..

Skipping all stories, He got Visa and came to the state. My friend said Mr B should stay with me pending the time he will get him and i have friends(students) living in the same apartment with me. I agreed! I used my card to pay for his NYC Airporter, paid for his bus to my place, bought sim card for him so that he can have access to sim card immediately he arrives and he got to my place and introduced him to my flatmates.I didnt collect any house rent from him, money for bills nothing since he will be with me for the main time.

Sincerely, Up to now, this guy is very nice to me but then an opportunity came and i quickly fixed him up. His work is very similar to that of OP and he gets paid regularly. when he started getting dollars and saw the difference btw US and where he worked in Middle east, Pride started coming in.

Summary, he misbehaved to all the other guys in the house, always bullshitting them saying all sort of things. FYI, I already moved out of the house and the guys always call me saying they regretted allowing him into the house.

Case 2. I and my friends were just flexing on a sunday evening when a call came through from Nigeria saying there is this guy stranded in New York that needs a place to stay and he has been wandering the streets for two weeks. my response was "let him go back home since he has nothing to do here" and ended the call. so another call came in to my friend's phone and it was the guy's mom crying on phone that he is their only hope blah blah that he cant afford to come back home. I talked to others once again to let us at least accommodate this guy since he is homeless, my friend kicked against it and we even almost fought. i stood for the guy that i will be responsible for anything he do in the house. so we paid for his bus ticket and came in. He was also humble saying "sir sir sir etc" but then after fixing him up, he started showing his true colour too..

So I planned for my wedding and told everybody that "gas and hotel" for each person should be arround $90 each which they all agree but the guy was reluctant which i noticed and i told him nicely that the wedding is just 3hrs and it is not compulsory he comes if it is not convenient. so one of my friend told him it will be unfair if he didnt go which he agreed to come.

on the wedding day, he was teased by others that the gate fee will be $25 for each person and he said and I quote " What kind of rubbish is this?I dont spend my money anyhow and He didnt tell me i will pay any fee when i get there infact I regret going/coming to this wedding ". That was his exact word.

When they arrived, they saw a African restaurant and decided to go in there to eat. A plate was sold for $10 and he refused to it saying $10 is too much for African food. during the wedding, when it was time for refreshment, he served himself and believe me, he put the largest food on his plate and ate it all. I told my wife about the development and weeks after my wife visited her friend and during their conversation, her friend said "there was this guy that served himself a lot of food that 3 people could have eaten" my wife was shocked and smiled saying she didnt notice anything.

In short after the whole wedding party, I told him infront of others that I heard what he said about me and I wasn't offended, its just that one good turn deserves another. He didn't say anything or apologized that night. It was one of the guys that told him when they were about to sleep that I was the one that recommended him and guaranteed his stay in the house. It was then he realized he needed to apologize. Had it been he was told nothing, he wouldnt have said anyting.

Other Cases : Is it the guy that was so humbled when he got here and later crossed to Canada to do asylum after helping him financially and "bullshit" all of us all.. there are soooooooooooooo many stories to tell but then All is well.

With all I have seen, I have just decided to keep to myself and stay away from Nigerians, I will assume all are the same until proven otherwise(I am sorry to say that).

@BJ
I re-read your thread and this image got my attention.

why am asking is, as at today N5 can't buy one even a cube of seasoning e.g Maggi

thanks

BlowJobs:


Na wetin Lady K write be this o



I edited the city to the bolded

Bossman:
Very good response from your lady. As highlighted, the location plays a BIG factor into how much the property is and how much it will rent for. And you do NOT necessarily have to live where your rental property is. I have rental property in Scottsdale, Arizona., but I live in Chicago. Management of the property, etc. is handled by a management company, for a fee.

omoluabiguy:
Good thread and nice guesture! Blowjobs I wish you all the very best, but for others wishing to come here by all means, I know naija is hard and all that, but atleast try to come in with a student visa route if you really want to have a soft landing and enjoy your American dream! Tuition can be waived if you got in with teaching or graduate assistantship or scholarship of some kinds. American schools do grant assistantship to good students. Coming in with b1/b2 for a hustler is really harsh. You can’t even open a bank account or get credit cards, drivers license/SSN card/StateID, car loans and all sort of things which are accessible to student visa holders. Secondly, you can only do what we call “under the table” jobs to pay your bills. Don’t expect anyone to accommodate you for free. Nah, that don’t happen here. Blowjobs is just one out of million kind of lucky. I have been here as a student for a while and seeing how Nigerians with b1/b2 struggle to survive is not fun. Whatever anyone tells you is all sugarcoating. You will STRUGGLE for real! The class of visa you came in through will determine your standing.

Thanks to Lady K for this response.Further questions:
1.By multi unit house you mean?
2.Is the program for a first time home buyer restricted to only USC/residents?
3.If my monthly payment is between 1,200 to 1,500 a month and I rent out at 1,000,then i won't be making any profits.So how do I make profit?

Awaiting your further response

What is the worst to happen if a person default on paying mortgage?

omoluabiguy:


I know the question wasn’t for me and I don’t mean to derail OP’s thread, but $5 is valuable here

sorry for quoting you

#omoluabi

FuckYaAll:


lol from your post in here I knew you're also in the States.
the bro chill!!! I wrote I was not trying to say you should not quote.
all I meant was you just rush the question without understanding the explanation I needed I.e saying $5 is worth Goods of N2k down here.
all I wanted was to know what the $5 can Afford down there.

Gracias.

lionlee216:
Like OP said, If you need to come here, Pls plan very well and one of the best route is if you can use F1 visa though the tuition fee is still much but I have seen people with little funds getting GA/TA/RA and living fine.

Do GRE and get good scores and then you will might be fortunate to get a good ride(scholarship), dont tell the VO that you are going for a conference in new york and you show up at California.

Dont tell tell the CBP at POE that your conference/visit will last for one week and show up with two fully loaded luggage and fully loaded hand lugage, You are on your own

Your Conference is 5 days, You booked hotel of $500 for 5 days and when asked about the cash you have at POE, You can only show them $300. You are on your own.

These people at POE have many stuffs to do. Once you dont give them something to doubt on, You will be fine. Pls do your homework well.

Make your passing at POE very smooth by helping the immigration officers to do their jobs. the only way to do that is you have verifiable documents and make sure your answers are straight forward. You are saving them some stress and also helping yourself.

Lastly, dont believe any friend of yours saying he is living large in america and posting different types of cars on fbk. dont fall victim. Be wise!

My eyes don see no be small I swear

omoluabiguy:


No that’s fine. I Get it. Foods are cheap here and it’s almost not a problem except you want to buy imported foods like Africa dishes and sorts. $5 can get you few food stuffs tho!

You are right on your post, but the bolded one, it depends on the categories of Nigerians you are hanging with. There are lots of Nigerians actually living big and fine here. If you have met graduate students on scholarship who are getting paid while schooling and the ones that graduated and working and maybe the Nigerians that are citizens and finished school Mostly in medicine and IT fields. They are earning big. Apart from those categories, you are right especially if they came in thru b1/b2, the struggle will be tough. You can’t even rent a house on your name. You’ll have to start watching your back the moment your visa expires. We see it here all the time

This is very true. There are tons of Nigerians working professionally here and doing well. As an IT person that works downtown Chicago, you'll be surprised how many Nigerians (Africans in general, but mostly Naija) I run into downtown or on the train during my commute downtown...all working professionally.

But I have never seen this type of people come on social media flaunting cash, cars, making so much mouth. I guess its because they have good jobs and family that keep them busy

A distant friend of mine undergoing AOS was seen on fbk with plenty 100$ bills flaunting them on fbk. recenly, he posted pictures of Nissan Altima 2014 saying "Who God has Blessed, No man can curse". I was wondering where he got the money from until I confirmed it was just "packaging". people back home will be thinking this guy has made a lot of money in US

Does it mean if someone as professional certification in IT he start a good chance , I am a Ccie security expert , can someone work under table before getting papers

Bossman:


In response to your questions

1. Multi unit means a building with multiple apartments (2, 3, 4, etc.) in it. So, may be you are living in one of the units and you rent out the rest.
2. That would be my guess. At least you'll need an SSN. A student visa will allow you to get one.
3. I believe the example he gave is referencing a multi unit. Where rent from all the units covers the mortgage. So, you are living for free. And of course building equity in the property.

You might be be right bro BUT try to mingle with Naija Ladies here with who already have green card, try to move close to them, the first question is do you have a green card

From experience, a friend studying in texas met this wonderful Nigerian lady and they were dating and she introduced him to her parents? the first question was " Is the guy a permanent resident" the lady replied NO saying the guy is non F1 visa still in school. the parents rejected him straightaway saying he is only after green card.

Since then, the lady started showing pride saying if the guy is serious about marrying him, he should propose with $4k ring . My friend was like WTF! the lady replied "dont you know i am doing you a favour by marrying you, you get a GC?" My friend just pulled out sharply

Some Naija girls here ehn. Well i believe we Nigerians(not everybody) start showing being proud especially when we stay here too long but who cares? If they reject me, I will reject them too lol

omoluabiguy:


Professional certificate is one thing, having the required skills is another thing. It’s literally not about your certificate here, it’s mostly about what skills you are good at e.g data analytics, programming, database and more considering you graduated and get certified by a US accredited university. I am not sure about “working under the table before getting papers”. That’s not an easy process as it sounds. You are talking about years upon years. You can finish university and start working with all those years under the table before getting papers if any.
