I like to keep you posted especially,those of you that are based in US.I live in Mushin,a suburb of Lagos.Lagos,happened to be the former capital of Nigeria and at the moment economic nerve center of the country. The reality on the ground is that,majority of the citizens residing in Mushin,lives below 3$per day!.Please do not be too amazed.The people are doing legitimate jobs,while others can not secure a well paid job,irrespective of the qualification.And that is why Nigeria has been topping the list of individuals seeking green card through DV.lottery. I am putting it across to you that,if most of the peolpe I'm refering to can get within the range of 100-450$,there lives will not be same again. Your reactions is/are very important.

That is alarming. Having lived in the US all of my life, it is hard to a imagine a person surving on $3 per day.
You mentioned that individuals are seeking Green Cards through DV. lottery? Can you tell us more about that?

Yes Nigerians are seeking The green card through the visa lottery programme organised yearly by the government of united states.I have played for about three or four times. Trully speaking an American dollar equalls about 138:00 naira,Nigerian Money.And when this is multiplied,what you will get is,408:00 naira.I will not lie to you,things are pretty tight with citizens here. I am expecting more response.

That is very difficult financially and emotionally because one is just playing by chance especially on the said income.
I just did some searching on that and besides having many specifications you are still faced with a game of chance. I am sorry no one should have to experience something like that and every year there are changes which just either increase the forms to fill or stipulations because of the immigration laws.

The family members can do a lot to alleviate or assist the affected. Firstly,you can set up a foundation,there in US,with me as the link.What will be the major reason for the establishment of the foundation is to give soft time loans to the affected.Please spare me your indulgence,there are a lots and lots of fraudsters globally,all i can tell you is that,I am not of them. Secondly,there are plenty of skilled,qualified graduates of universities,polytechnics and artisans of different trades,who if given the chance will want to migrate to US,or wherever they can make use of thier brains and skills to live a meaningful life. Your responses all these while are very much appreciated.However,whatever you think,that can alleviate the sufferings of the affected,you can let me know.
