Ignorance is worse than poverty. Most people who haven't been abroad before, still thinks d abroad is like a safe heaven. even the kingdom of God suffereth violence.

Don't blame NIGERIANS back home for one bit.
They have suffered uninterrupted onslaught from BoKo Haram Kidnappings, and many more.
So any safer haven is welcomed
You don't expect war torn humans to keep quiet.

porka:
Same as many democratic party run cities. That's the definition of 'progressive'.

The poorest states in America are in the South. And they are completely controlled by Republicans. You brain is paining you.

Abeg shut up. Is the US government not ''looking away'' as 40,000 Americans are shot dead annually by THEIR versions of Boko Haram, Bandits, and Unknown Gunmen?

As 70,000 Americans die from opioid overdose annually while US border officials turn millionaires through bribes from Mexican drug traffickers?

And 99.9% of people you see in that video and in similar settings are full-blooded, born-and-bred Americans, not 'immigrants'.

You really should not come online to tell lies and misrepresent facts.

Plus, which city do you live in in Nigeria, and why have the bandits not gotten to you, since they are everywhere, in your head?

99.9% of you hear about 'bandits' and 'Boko Haram' on television, but they have ZERO impact on your daily existence.

The Truth is,
The number of homeless people you find in the USA is dependent on many factors.
Do you know that people leave LAGOS Airport on immigrant basis, arrive the US with just a luggage and in many months they start reaping their benefits.

Now every society has got RULES.
Some take theirs serious unlike Nigeria that's Lawless.
In AMERICA, If you are ever caught spearheading troubles or involved in any form of crime, that will be the beginning of your DOWNFALL.
IF you do drugs... you also render yourself unemployable.

Now CALIFORNIA has got many homeless people because of their proximity to MEXICO which is still a struggling nation. Such is not the case with the US States like Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana which share border with Canada.
The Reason is, CANADA is a far more developed nation than Mexico and one shouldn't expect overwhelming migration from that side.

The above informs the reason for the building of WALL to cut off Mexican migrants.
The Funny Thing now is people from all parts of the world fly into MEXICO just to trek from there to the United States/Mexico border.

Now when you arrive the US, the new wahala of GREENCARD begins. Not easy at all.

You DON'T pay tax in Nigeria.

Do not dare call that pittance you pay, ''tax''.

When you live and work in America or the UK, you will know what tax is.

Yeah, when I live in a place where I am being paid £8 per hour, I will definitely pay more in taxes, but I will see the local municipal council come weekly to empty my trash, see police patrol and not block roads with tire and woods, call 911 and be responded to immediately, go to polling units to vote and not fear of ballot boxes being snatched, and so many other vices.

Modified: I pay 7.5% from a minimum wage of 30000 Naira, and I indirectly pay same on any product I buy.
What is it used for?

Pay 30% of your salary on tax then another 3% on health Insurance then see if you wouldn't demand better appropriation of your funds.

Using which minimum wage?

UncleSnr:
Using which minimum wage?

Whatever the minimum wage is.

Minimum wage is based on the per capita income.

Many of you need to deepen your knowledge of economics even basic economics.

pansophist:


I can least at least 20 countries in Europe alone without slum, no kidding. And even their own version of "slum" can never be compared to the US version. And even more sad that the US it the world largest economy, and richest.

And no, those slums are occupied by Americans mostly, not immigrants. Same way most prisoners are Americans not immigrants. America is fukced. There is no other way to slice it.

America is the only place where immigrants do far better than the citizens

khia:

Exactly and it's done by design.

Same way most of your perception about Nigeria was done

Transcriber:

Same way most of your perception about Nigeria was done

Exactly, not just Nigeria but Africa as a whole.

Oh, so when last were YOU accosted by Boko Haram terrorists?

When last were you kidnapped by 'bandits'?

If YOU have not experienced any of that (and I KNOW you haven't), then you are an absolute mor.o.n to be calling me 'stupid'.

For real Sir, you type without thinking!
