why don't u come home to be a hero.grin
This is the issue with us in Nigeria, we cant talk but mouth wash those that are talking. He needs not come home to starve or before he can talk, it is our choice to remain here to praise worship those starving us. We learn to support them by talking too to get us away from this bondage.

Mr. Security guard, Nigeria is NOT a shithole! Nigeria is a is a struggling nation like many other nations around the world. Don’t let your anger make you curse your fatherland because you were exposed as a security guard. It’s not the end of the world, a job is a job. Some of us also here in America had done similar jobs several years ago, we went to school, got an education and life has gotten much better since then. Don’t condemn Nigeria, let’s pray for Nigeria. Not every Nigerian youth can go or will go to America but Nigeria is all we have and we must begin to repair our country by positively describing our nation. No investors will come to a nation being described as a shithole. WE SHALL OVERCOME!!!
Am not part of the WE
I leave this country and pray it get better from where ever I am

People are blinded by poverty...if u ever find ur way out of Naija legally to any OECD country , u will understand what's happening in Nigeria, I don't know much about Politics but if splitting Nigeria is the way forward, please let's do because. The labour of our heroes past are already in VAIN...The prime minister of the country I live in at the moment is a 38 year old lady....not even married yet.

I miss Nigeria, if I'm to make a video myself, I will lament and sounds frustrated. This is not because of my situation here. But because I av seen how life is meant to be, real government...and how much damage has been done to Nigeria...The distance between the rich and poor in Nigeria is unimaginable.....here as an ordinary hustler, I can afford to eat,play and attend events with the rich...this will never happen in Nigeria....I eat the same bread and drink the same milk as the rich here.

I av never seen any police holding a gun publicly or military oppressing or abusing ordinary citizens....life is valued

I support this guy...I have no doubt he will do 10x better in the US as a security than a movie producer in Nigeria...and even apart from money, nothing can be compare with the quality of life u get from living in a sane community where life is valued more than diamonds.

Once u leave Nigeria, u will know life is not all about money....If that guy die today, the kids have a secured future, they are safe...

Im not in the US but Working as ordinary site labourer here, u will get an average of $45k after tax and u will even get more once u have more experience.... that's 12M in Naija...even if u are cursed u will save 3M naira plus a secured future,good retirement plan and good quality of life....the community works with u and support u rather than competing with u as they do in Nigeria.

Which country are you?

what about statement of account that were the problem his

U. S embassy hardly asks for such but just hold something...

Most times they ask generic questions like have u traveled before..are you married....why are you visiting united states...what do you do for a living...

You must be confident in answering the questions and you must present a good profession that will make them believe you will come back when you are done..

The best bet is to go as a student cos this is a very effective one. All the best

Sorry bro! But you got it totally wrong
It’s not only politicians, fraudsters and whatever you call it that are making money in this great nation.
Everyone look for who to blame but can u be honest with you?
People are making clean, honest and legal money in this nation despite the economic hardship!
To be frank! You are just mentally lazy and looking for a easy way out of your mysterious lifestyle!
Some of your mate hv left security job abroad and return home to startup and they are glad they took that decision including me writing this
I left abroad after many years doing crazy job all for money! It dawned on me I will just serve those white fools all my life for chicken change and little comfort.
I made up my mind to return and I came back firing GEJ era with fear of uncertainty! Ebola, boko- haram, bomblast everywhere! Even friends advice me never to return but I thank God I came back!
In less than 5 years., God really blessed my hustle and where I am today, I can’t get there in 30 years staying abroad!
Saw a niche in the market, provide solutions and now I swim in millions!
Soooo many opportunities here if u r smart, honest and hardworking.
So bro don’t sell your birthright for a plate of pourade.
Wake up, think deep, pray and take that bold step to turn your story around and stop blaming one politician.
The earlier you realize they can’t help the better for you!
Build your empire and forget government exist!
My little advice sir!
Well said

Dont make me lament... i actually had the financial means to RUN out of this country, but the optimist in me got the better of me ... now regretting my foolishness.

The problems of Nigeria are Nigerians. The America you are running to, you forget that it was the sacrifices of the people that made it what it is today. If they were always cursing it and running away, would it have been good?
If they were only thinking of themselves and families, they wouldn't have got to where they are. Now you want to run to reap people's sweat in another nation while you rain curses on your country.
It is good you are leaving. This country doesn't need cowards.
Nobody sows where he doesn't reap. If you sow curses, that is what you get. I tell the truth, with time you will curse the nation you are going to because it will come to a time when things won't be favourable.
The Indians, Lebanese and the Chinese came and made profit from Nigeria, but you as a citizen doesn't see the good things in the land because you have condemned it. From my conclusion, you're the problem of yourself not Nigeria.
If they ask you to bring part of your money as tax, you will decline, but you will pay higher taxes in another country. My friend, you can only reap where you sow. It is an unbroken universal law
Psalm 122:6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.

I didn’t destRoy Nigeria so I ain’t fixing nada!

You can stay and pray for your “Jerusalem” to get better. The rest of us have had enough to last a lifetime and it is time to escape. God help us all .

Rent = $550
Feeding = $60
Tax = $600
Utilities = $100
Transport = $xx

My point is, instead of converting directly to naira, first factor in the living cost in your location.

Like I said I didn’t add overtime and a second job. Most of the under the table jobs don’t get taxed. And for the tax bro, I hope you know about tax refund? A friend of mine calculated his returns for this year and it’s almost $20k.
Bro what I am saying it that you will find jobs to do, whatever your bill is you can afford it plus more and most importantly the system over there is working...whatever you work for or pay for, you get the exact value plus bonus.

I understand the guy's view.Naija will make you useless and depressed. After my NYSC,frustration engulfed me as no job was forthcoming.Was fortunate to get a visa to Canada.The truth is my first job in Canada was in a warehouse (got d job in less than a month of applying,had like 2 offers but chose this) but I cared less because I was getting paid every 2 weeks.I was been paid 15.50/hour back then (over 5 years ago now).its a low wage job according to Canadian standard.After tax,it's like approximately 1k biweekly(I did not do a 2nd job,another person would have). I was not making 100 naira in a month in Naija before I left even with my undergrad degree.
If you ask me if I would do it again:my job in the warehouse earning 15.50 an hour or submitting resume everywhere in Lagos and Ibadan,hoping for jobs that don't exist.I will tell u...i will do it a thousand times again.

are there not Nigerians who are gatemen here in Nigeria? if in your own country you earn 100_120k per annum and a person decide to go be a gateman where he can earn up to 9million per annum who do you think has more self esteem?
