@ Nana, I agree with you.
@ Wayan, I feel you but this writing chose to focus on the African immigrant. It doesn’t mean other people find life easy.
@ Edward, true but…
@ Adama, don’t give up onyour dream!
@ Wilf, yes indeed.

Thanks for sharing. I can envisage parts of this book being used on our literacy course.

Why not take the pain to create a job that your children’s children will live to enjoy.
I dont subscribe to brain drain and second-class citizenship.
I will stay back here in Nigeria and build a corporation!No matter how many years it takes.

I personally think that the push factors are far worse than the pull factors. I wouldnt blame any BSc or BA degree holder if he/she emigrates to a foreign land in search of a better life (debatable!) especially after he/she had search for a decent job in his/her own country without any success!!

What a great read. But do not think it is just the African immigrant, or just immigrants that tell this tale. I too have moped, cleaned, and waited to survive. Oh the woe to all of us born without golden spoons in our mouths

If this isn’t a disincentive for people with “no legal papers” to emigrate to the UK, U.S. etc then I don’t know what is. ‘Nuff said
