If you get to go abroad at the strength of a company, you will enjoy yourself thoroughly. Ask Ricdees. If you get a good job out in America, you are sawa. Like you can afford to travel home 3 to 4 times a year. Girl, aint you lucky? It means you have a good job going on or your abroad is Rwanda.

My cousin is finally coming home after twenty yrs in America. Now, aged 40, he has no wife nor children. When your wife goes, she seeks custody of the kids.

When he lands at the airport, the real airport, only a hand-full of guys will welcome him.

In the states, he worked four jobs, some fifteen miles apart. He is more or less like a Robot.

In the fifteen yrs he live with his wife, they became strangers. Landings were only once in a blue-moon and the wife devised ways of coping.

Most of the time, you are forced to take a second, third or fourth job in order to be able to pay bills, mobile phone bills, car loans, house loans and that does not include food, junk food to be precise.

A lady friend of mine went there recently on a green-card. She cant find a job but is taking nursing courses so that she can get employed as a health worker. Job description, Washing 90 yr olds, unblocking the old mens plumbing system using a carrot when blocked and massaging those who spend a lot of time on wheel chairs.

She plans to collect a tidy sum of dollars, send them to me for investing and when she is ready, come back home to enjoy the same.

I have for many yrs told her that life is not a rehearsal. You live as you earn. She is likely to return back here when she is old and likely will die before most of her savings or investments have been exhausted. She will thus be working for her young brats who will destroy the investments in a span of two yrs.

Enjoy your life now, not tomorrow, but spare something for tomorrow.

@ Maich! you have quoted me again! .

Nope i am not in Africa,nor am I in Dubs. but you have a small point which justfies my whole argument,but i dwell more on how someone went out of the country- the process ( this includes a lot of stuff such as learning about the country where one is going,getting conversant with the regulations of work,which leads one to know the certification or validation process/ work permit,cost of living etc etc

@Surealligator, hapo umesema ukweli kabisa..

Guys in Kenya don't know just how lucky they are..Why do you think expatriates never want to leave Kenya ? They have an incredible life only found on the movie screens over here ..gardener, several house girls,, a driver, a security guard all affordable man! Hapa its only people like Oprah who can the afford that..5 bedroom mansion in some gated community..

Nyumbani kuna watu wengi wanaishi namna hii..Most of my former campus mates wanaishi Runda na Karen.On the other hand over here , girls are hitting 40 years and above are still single and have no man and no child..why?

When they first arrived, they ignored Kenyan guys like the plague. Pretty soon time is flying fast..before they know it, they are forty, single , no child !! Now what kind of a life is that..sorry i am just being honest. Now the same are trying to get back with those Kenyans they ignored (who are by now happily married) coz they want a baby eiiiiish!

Mambo ya dunia ni ngumu..
