Nigerians across the US — H-1B, green card, community, culture and opportunity.
From Nigeria → Houston → California: Losing My Job, Finding My Direction, and Building Something Bigger I moved from Nigeria to the U.S. with ambition—but no roadmap. For years, I figured things out alone. No one told me about FedRAMP, CMMC, or how to position for compliance-focused tech roles. I learned the hard way—through trial, mistakes, and persistence. Then life hit again. I recently relocated from Houston to California, and like many people right now, I’m navigating job loss, a slow hiring market, and uncertainty. But instead of going quiet, I’m choosing to share the journey as it unfolds. Not perfectly. Not daily. Just honestly. I’ll be tagging the real moments along the way: challenges, disappointments, small wins, and testimonies. Because this part of the journey matters too. If you’re navigating immigration, career transitions, or trying to find your footing in the U.S.—you’re not alone.
