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

...

After careful assessment I believe your heart and will is what will make you get through. Just know you are alone and work on your papers first. Tafuta asylum or something .forget the student crap.do asylum thing as soon as you land.ukichelewa to file utaulizwa why wait for 2 years to file ....hint
Best of luck sir. Ni hayo tu

how can that asylum thing work, never been out of kenya myself, but I have heard you need a visa just to get into a plane heading to the west.
what kind of visa can one get with 700k, can one visit as a tourist and disappear after that visa expires, I am assuming tourist visa will be like 3 or 4 months, and how does one apply for a tourist visa to the states, I might think of joining @chaser just incase

I dont see him having any chance of getting a visa. They give tourist visas to those with assets over 100m, not some recently graduated jobless 26yr old single males with only 0.7m in their account.

The only way to get the visa and assylum could be to join Boniface Mwangi in one one of his demos and ensure he (paperchaser) is clobbered to near death by the mboys in blue. It would also help if he "talked" (cost is 50k) to a journalist friend to visit him in hosi and air his story on 9pm news. Maybe that way the canadians would consider giving him a visa and accept his application for assylum and fund his degree in "human rights".
