Why are you still in America?

[Arishok]

you are naija, a career awaits you.

Naija?

Like, no troll or anything, I'm really wondering. My cousin just hit 30 and said she's leaving as soon as she can.

But this country obviously isn't going for us and probably never will, and I see so many of y'all saying you're leaving. So why are you still here?

There are so many places you could be prospering at but you're still here. Is it money issues or what? Are some of y'all holding onto hope?

Since I was 13 I wanted to take over and become the most powerful man in America, like Vanderbilt or Rockefeller were. I've been planning shyt since the 8th grade. But now I'm not even sure if I'll stay here past 25.

If people only lived in other countries for a while they would realize despite all it's problems the US is a damn good place.

I don't plan to leave soon because if you've ever been outside of America, you quickly realize that beyond all the issues that are present here, it is still arguably the best place in terms of upward mobility. Even though the gap between rich and poor has grown exponentially over the past decades, it is not as bad as other places. In many countries, the average person is like a cashier within the Walmart workforce; you'll never be much more than a cashier. At least in America, if you work hard enough and find the right opportunities, you can live comfortably. I'm not even contemplating leaving until I'm set financially.

people always make excuses not to use the useless american system, we don't use the system the right way like those other clowns.

we think entertainment is the answer when it's not.

i'm rechecking the old x-files, Vancouver was/is looking str8. Canada is a good choice. I'm looking to visit Kenya next year, also made a lifetime friend from Antigua.

I'm looking to visit Toronto before I decide if I want to live there. That's my number one since it's relatively close to Chicago.
