EgunMogaji2:Uncle e do tey you left the States, I can see it. Gang war in Torrance was way long ago, the city is nearly without gangs now. Gang cities like Compton and Inglewood are being cleaned up as I type. Cost of living went up because of the stadium in Inglewood and those low lives are leaving town, going down as far as Lancaster. Yes, Pasadena may still hold some of the gangs for now. Do you know that average one bed rent around Torrance is now $1600/month, do you think that those lazy gangsters can still afford it? 3 Likes |

Dollywood:I need a SCREEN SHOT of it. I need it as an evidence, because I don't think he will be lying about such. I have followed him keenly, and he has always said things about the US. I also have an uncle who resides in Los Angeles. I think he is right in most of what he said. So, I think the CANADA evidence will do justice... 1 Like 1 Share |

Dollywood:It appears we derive joy in insulting people before we make our points. And such character is affecting us badly. I believe in him because I have followed him for sometime now. What amazed me about him was the day he transferred tokens to the accounts of some DIE-HARD MESSI fans on Nairaland as part of his jubilation for scoring a fantastic goal and my friend who was sitting right with me got an ALERT and thanked him. Others also did. .... a LADY on Nairaland cried that her fashion business was collapsing, he kept asking about the lady's welfare all through. The next we saw was the LADY screaming with joy on the same page thanking him for an alert. So, why should I despair him and by the way, he is very knowledgeable, and vast. And I try to verify most of his facts. Meanwhile, I just told you my uncle stays in Los Angeles and I do call him regularly.. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

I always feel sorry for Nigerians when I read all these heart breaking comments. Someone said they'll rather be homeless in America than live in Nigeria. God please send help to your people because one thing for sure there'll be stricter immigration rules going forward, Nigeria must get better for those who can't escape. 2 Likes 1 Share |

drips8: One of the reasons why property in Los Angeles or California as a whole is expensive is restrictive planning. It is difficult to get a permit to build. Worse, a permit for the wrong sought of structure is granted. A city like Los Angeles needs lots of medium to high density buildings but there's preference for low density buildings i.e. a house on a plot fo land. This senselessness keeps rents very high. There's a city in California where 94% of the buildings permits are low density buildings. It won't shock you therefore that a 3 bedroom bungalow will easily top $1m. Meanwhile, a much bigger house in permit friendly Arkansas or Texas will go for $150,000 2 Likes 1 Share |

Felicity0001: Mortgage is not government free bills. Mortgage and not equity is the preferred choice of property purchase in developed countries. It is only in countries like Nigeria where mortgage lending rates are sky high you see people preferring equity. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Theconglomerate: I let him know that in developed countries, a mortgage is the preferred means of homeownership due to affordable lending rates, unlike Nigeria where it is 25%.

cococandy:No. I posted that they are average and below-average earners and couldn't afford to buy a house from 3 years' savings. Then, you started talking about education and making comparisons. This is irrelevant as we have real numbers for comparison instead of flawed correlation. Why shouldn't it? Drive has no effect on potential income when you correct for skills. If the average software engineer earns 150K per year, there is no reason why a Nigerian immigrant with similar skills will earn significantly higher than others. Same applies to Nigerian immigrants in Ghana, for example, we wouldn't expect similar-skilled employee of Nigerian origin to simply out-earn the native just because they are immigrants.
You are probably conflating 2 figures, poverty level, and average income. The average income of a native-born American is not $32000, unfortunately, the article did not state the native-born average income but compared Nigerian income with the rest of the US. I didn't generalize, I merely stated a statistical reality common to ALL immigrant demographics with a significant population in the US. That they likely earn an average income or lower(this applies to recent immigrant) Consequent on the above, they are no more likely to own a home than the native-born. There is no reason why Nigerians should earn higher than any other similarly-skilled citizens. This is a line from your yahoo link: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-could-actually-more-nigerian-133011858.html I am even surprised that it even went beyond what I expected.
The quote above buttresses my argument. That a group may have some of the best-educated and employed people and still earn average income as a whole. My point still stands if the native-born are struggling to own a home in the US just by saving, there is no reason why we should expect any different from Nigerian immigrants. Unless of course, the immigrants are earning double or triple the average native-born income which is quite a fantasy. 1 Like |

ivolt: The income of the average Nigerian American is above the American average "Nigerian-Americans, the article added, were one of America's “most successful immigrant communities, with a median household income of $62,351, compared to $57,617 nationally, as of 2015” Some immigrant groups such as Cuban and South Asians have been able to achieve that feat too Source: https://africacheck.org/spot-check/yes-nigerian-americans-do-well-but-arent-most-successful-ethnic-group-in-us/ https://www.ozy.com/fast-forward/the-most-successful-ethnic-group-in-the-u-s-may-surprise-you/86885/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

ZINIBANKS: Learnt Dutch are multilingual but it does not change things. In California, there's a massive Spanish speaking population. Does that mean you can be successful just knowing how to speak only Spanish and not English.? You probably can but it will be limited. Knowing English will get you very far. There's still a preference for Dutch. I'm sure office work is conducted in Dutch for instance. Official letters will be in Dutch etc. So, even if you can go far with English, you'll do much better having a good command of English. |
