Hey,overseas is not for everybody,i prefer getting out of comfort levels and finding whats out there,kaeni Kenya,tuchungieni hizo shamba we will work these shifts and buy them less than market price cz that Kenyan uchumi might be ngumu for awhile.

I said Africa not necessarily Kenya. Why should I move to US to wash tucucus when I can make $5K doing what I love in Kigali ,Addis or Monrovia?

Most african countries have a better pay than uko mayuu especially those fragile countries

I'll remind you this; The other side of the field always has greener pastures. Human beings have insatiable needs. They also get bored over time and look for change. The jungus come to Africa for expatriate jobs! Well paying (uniform regardless of your nationality) while living standards in Africa are relatively low. Why are Kenyans flooding Sudan yet Kenya looks 'paradise?' This is a cycle or a puzzle you can't solve. Underlying factor is what you mentally get contend with. Kenyans netting 100k + monthly don't see need of going majuu.

Sorry,long post Alert!!
You need to understand international labour laws to understand why people are moving,if you are somewhere in Africa earning $5k then you are very different from that Kenyan being satisfied with 100k cz a Kenyan earning that amount is management,if they make a smart move they will make way more than 100kes so thats why i was speaking of non driven people staying in comfort zones.
Now,I have worked out of country before and i know of the jobs in Africa or in war-zones where Kenyans make more,but the difference between me and you is that when i get my US citizenship,i will definately make more than you if i come to the same job,or get a better rank than you cz of US citizenship,this is the one truth most people working overseas dont speak of,your nationality(First world or third world )dictates your pay,but to bring this in perspective,i will tell you this,Kenyan working in Ethiopia will most likely earn more than the locals cz of intl labor laws,now,American or french coming into Ethiopia will earn way more than the Kenyan or Ethiopian doing same job,same level,why??nationality,something about first world nationaly,they get treated better,unfair but true(they are trying to change this but its still rampant)same way west Africans in airtel Kenya earn way more than Kenyans there or come in and scoop better jobs that they cant scoop back home,french guys in Airtel Kenya way more than the west Africans or the Kenyans.Now lets flip it,Americans coming into Kenya will earn more than their Kenyan counterparts,the amount an American is being paid in Kenya working for US embassy is way higher than Kenyans working same place,the amount Americans earn in US embassy in Kenya is not the same amount they will earn when they work stateside,hence why they move to Africa to scoop the jobs.that's why they are coming to Africa cz they are being paid way higher cz once you cross the border,intl labor laws dictate your pay.so thats why smart ones are crossing borders.(cross borders and invest in businesses back home(Being an employee and a boss same time),its the smart thing to do.
That guy speaking of washing cucus,whoever decides to do that,its their choice,too many jobs to pick from paying better than back home.US appreciates every profession,If you are a driver,a cook,housekeeper,baby sitter,nanny(maid),delivery,mechanic,carpenter,plumber,nurse,chef,mortician,office guy,hairstylist,it dont matter,you will be certified and you will be paid well,the only job if you do in Kenya you might not transfer that knowledge here is tout,no matatus here so you might want to know how to drive a truck,crane or something.actually if you are an electrician,plumber,carpenter,tailoryou know,kazi za mikono,US will treat you well unlike Kenya where they expect you to be white collar to make it.

Thanks a bunch!

Upcoming paper chaser , I want to be Nasty and real with you ,you might remember me or hate me one day .ill give you few points free off charges


1 the people you call relatives abroad aren't the fantasy people you have in your head. It's good your uncle is a policeman. You will be in for a rude shock when you are there are realize that being hosted by relatives are worst than being hosted by friends .friends are much much better coz they will tell you the truth even if it hurts .few percentage less than 2% of relatives hosts have been successful without drama for here I'll leave you to discover for yourself

2 your zip should remain uptight and firm .you once mentioned something Tanzanian women "not getting clean down there " on a certain thread..brother this was derogatory .if you carry this mentality there to go test ph of every woman's down there then you will be doomed with something men fear called "CHILD SUPPORT"

3 I'm meant to understand you are a realtor or surveyor or something . Let me be real with you and this might be your eye opener. Lolest is right . The field you are on has too much potential if you choose to use your 700,000 to go buy some potential land by using your realtor skills to develop or partner with somebody for higher capital gains . I feel sad when you said you want it to be your pocket money there .the skills you have about realtor is crap in North America .you might choose to give a try ...well that's good and ok but remember ,I repeat remember ,your accent will sell you away. Also these people you call wazungu ain't angels the way we have been brainwashed to think they are .
Here you might make 100k, live modest and save approximately 40% of your earnings as you grow your capital .North America you will earn 400k(god bless your heart for that) but here is where the hammer comes down . Rent 100k, insurance 70k, gas and bills another 50k,car payment another 50k, clothing a foods another 50k,provision for tickets (by policemen either speeding or court cases or immigration papers proceedings) another 50 k and mainly to support your family status since they have a son ngambo so you send them money to dress and look good and school fees for siblings and sisters kids and eat good another 100k.right here you are already in debt with -70k.

4 North America is good for 3 kind of people
a) form four leavers who want their minds moulded into a career when they are young,it's challenging to go to North America with family or when way too old
b) older people who have tried it all in EA and they are always unlucky with jobs ,career and anything.people who are beat up will find relief here
c) professions who have been guaranteed of their trained jobs .if you are a realtor here and you have been promised a realtor job and have done all the interviews and all then you are set .

5 North America is good if you humble yourself and forget all the degree you earned here and be focused on what you want and do any shitty job and save .If you limit your expenses and give yourself a grace time for exit just like stocks before you burn yourself then you will be safe . Don't get into a rat race there.its common .

6 if your uncle is "nice" ,he will help you get immigration papers "this is the key or door opener "and go to nursing school and him supporting you ALL WAY THROUGH. Nursing is the one of the few careers that jobs are readily there and pays good when you done because wazungu don't like dirty jobs to do with handling blood and all that. Do the nursing and when secured a job then develop your realtor career.forget about your uncles job of policing ,hiyo ni yake.tafuta yako.,I saw you talked about going as a student ,dude be ready to suffer for a long time . If you go as a student and change immediately your immigration status to maybe asylum because maybe you are an albino and they kill albinos in tz then you are lucky,I'm not an immigration lawyer to help you with that .but as a student god help you coz I don't know how you will make it.

7 get hosted with your uncle and move out immediately before mkosane. It's common with relatives unless yours is an angel. Immigration papers is the key, making tires is different from using those same tires on the road coz any one can make one but few tires can stand the tough road. If you have regrets for migrating wipe off the dust and focus .it will take time before you reap your fruits but you might go through hard life before then . EAcans who made it didn't get it through silver platter. Ask anyone, be it books,be it relationship and mainly BE IT IMMIGRATION DOCS. Do your research well , avoid other provinces and go to others ,if you happen to go to states avoid carefully southern red states and chose northern blue ones.

For me I'm happy home. I had my share of that life . Try your luck maybe that's your calling is.i know so many East Africans who are doctors ,realtors, mayors and all that.you could be one of them but it won't be easy and will take time . One day tafuta Mimi hapa nairobi after you made it and buy me arabica coffee.what I said above a realities that even your own brother or uncle won't tell you. Best of luck

Thanks a lot my brother. There is no way i am going to hate you, yet you have been so generous with facts. Its an eye opener indeed! A few things to note though:

1. The policeman is not my uncle, but a friends'. i was just using him as an example. I have no relative in Canada...i will just be freestyling coz a friend says there are plenty of blacks there!

2. Life is about experimenting things. If life doesnt go well there, I will still be a Kenyan and i will come back home and despite my condition, i am sure that i will be received by Mursik and ululating aunts at JKIA. So it doesnt mean am imprisoning myself....lemme go and try, if it backfires......i will be back.

3. I am in a good career as a realtor...cant complain a lot, and to top it, niko managerial team so no lots of stressful things. its just that i wanna leave my comfort seat for greater challenges.

4. Am a hardworker when it comes to looking for money bruhh......am not a lazy bone. Some 3 months in 2014 i used to work for 20 hours online!!!!! And my attitude is different as am an ambitious young man.

5. About women, thats true....i will learn how to befriend my right hand and vaseline!!

6. Life is too short not to take risks......training to be a nurse takes two years then you start earning dem dollars very well. for those two years, with an interest rate of 22%, those who wiuld have taken a 1 million loan to buy a plot in thika will still be paying for it!!

7. Am so addicted to risks as well......whatever comes my way while there...as long as i break no rules and laws, the challenges i shud be ready to combat!!

Ni hayo tu kwa sasa!!

I actually thought thrice

Hhahaa......of course watu wa ndizi ni hatari sana....si their neighbors from UG kule Bukoba ndio wamewafunza!!! Uko wapi by the way? masaki?
