- America is great and it is a land of opportunities to a person who is not lazy. If it's your dream then pursue it!. My duty is to give you information and you make your own decision whether to come or to remain in your country.

I think there is something about Kenyans.. U guys your so loving... U and Janet rangi are a blessing to some of us...I pray when I come to America.. I'll also help Ugandans with such information
Kenyans are very enterprising.
Heaven's true what u have said, Ugandans need such information.
It's important to know also that the each bill is due on a specific date of the month, and if you don't pay, and you don't get a payment plan the company cuts your service of, or your insurance gets cancelled, or your electricity and phone gets turned off and there are costs to put them back on! These are very critical piece of information relating to bill payments in America. Also, as video suggests, each state has different costs of living and weather conditions! States like California, New York, Pennsylvania...have high cost of living, while states like Oklahoma, Iowa, Arkansas are have considerably lower costs of living. Some states like Pennsylvania have many taxes while star like Delaware have less taxes. Some states have extreme weather conditions like very cold and huge snow, like Minnesota does. Other states like Florida don't have winter. Some states have hurricanes and tornadoes every year, others don't. Think about those realities too as you dream about going to live or work on the US. They can be additional challenges to Africans coming from heavenly warm weather all year round. 😂
Wow this is a great piece of information. What about state Virginia, I really like it.
Wow thnks for the information. How about Chicago and Boston. ?
@@dianahnattabi758 Chicago and Boston have very cold winter weather and huge snow. Chicago is very windy, it's even nick named Windy City. Winds make the winter colder. Boston definitely has high cost of living and so is Chicago. Boston is laid out like European city and might give comfort to some Africans cos some African cities are designed after European style.
How about new jersey I like that state
@@alphabilalkoroma5746 New Jersey generally has good weather,winters aren't extreme. Cost of living is reasonable. It borders New York City at some locations like Jersey City. So some people live in Jersey City and travel to work or do leisure in New York City and back. The closer to New York City the more likely life is a bit expensive, especially if you rent apartment. Job opportunities are good according to friends who live there. Like any other state they have their taxes and from little experience, they pump gas (petrol) for customers while in some other states like Pennsylvania customers have self service of gas into their own cars. New Jersey has great educational services and resources too. They have beaches for fun times too. Over all a great place in my general experience and knowledge.
Thank you Shiko for giving people hope. I have seen so many Kenyan in USA discouraging our people back home from coming here. US is the land of opportunities. It's depends on what you want and how you take it. Yes there are bills here and in Kenya too there is bills. But life is not hard as people portray. As long as you are not lazy and you are positive , you will make it. Don't listen to negative people......they will tell you how hard it is to live in USA and they are still here and they are not planning to go back to Kenya. Just think about it.
Exactly 💯.
I would rather come there and work those 2 or 3 jobs than remain here in Kenya where even that 1 job is hard to find😭😭😭😭
Bancy maina that's true
Thats true. I tell people when you hear someone has a ten storey apartment in Ruaka or Kitengela they have worked like crazy for 20+ yrs all while raising kids& going to school.
I think going back home also becomes hard for them coz they have nothing to fall back to. No investment so have nothing to start on. They left the kenya system( many) years ago and would be hard to fit in again, people will laugh and mock them.So they complain about how hard things are, they r already entangled by the system, and I believe as years passby they learn better and do betterbut when for their now, maybe actually things r not good for them.
Me every time I click on Shiko's channel..."Hi friends".. "And here we say inawezekana".
Randomly started watching Shiko and now am addicted. Can't miss a single video ❤❤❤❤.
Lots of love from your hometown, limuru
Thank you so much 😘
I'm less than a month here and whenever I watch your videos I feel like in US 🇺🇸. Very humble and good information

Inawezekana, thank you for this information, though you did the video a long time ago, today i have learnt a lot through it, through you. Thank you my sister.
Since I came across your page, I got hooked. You are too sincere and highly desirous of other people's happiness, growth and development. Thanks so much. When I get to US, I must look for you, to offer one on one gratitude. Keep the hope greener, through your excellent work.

Just three words to describe you, YOU ARE AMAZING.God bless you.
Thank you 😘🙏
Shiko am an Ugandan but your doing great work may you be blessed abundantly IJN 🙏🙏
Living in Souther California is very expensive....much more expensive than some other states. We have great weather most of the time. A good 1 bedroom apartment is at least $1,500. A mortgage of 3-4 bedrooms can be 3-4 thousand dolllars monthly. Then remember all the utilities, property taxes, earthquake n fire insurance, home owners insurance...etc. I am a single woman n must earn at least 8 k monthly to cover my expenses with my chn. Thank God, I was able to highly educate myself n provide for my family. I also send $ home to my country for my parents there
Cali is so expensive 😫😩
Am indeed grateful to you Shiko and Betty AZ for I just stumbled on your videos but immediately subscribed and intend to watch all of your videos.
Mwebaale nnyo byona byona.
Africa Mashariki always.
Bantu balunji Bambi geda olabe ne Janet rangi naye ayogera nku America
Thanks lovely lady so honest and true to your word. Much blessings for these free info your giving out. Both you and Betty are giving us such valuable info about life in the diaspora. Much credit for both you gals this openness has never been here before. Very much appreciated love you sana.
I hardly comment on videos, but yours has got my attention. Your videos are really really amazing. Thanks a million for all what you are doing 🤝🤝
What I have come to LOVE about you girl is positive vibes and you are informed.
Shiko have been following your informations and it helped me so much upto a moment I won my greencard and am travel on July this year
Yaaaay congratulations 🎊. Welcome to the USA
@@SHIKOHOPETVUSA am grateful
You are very smart.I need to link my wife to you once we land there...`Mutumia wa Ngatha`
Such a wonderful content. Now Shiko tell us what it takes to own a home in terms of mortgage. The requirements,how much you pay as deposit and installments
From me what I can say you are doing good job you two Shiku and BETTY AZ the information you are giving us is the information which many people can't give us it's only depending with the person thenkx sana for good job.
A credit card is given to you by banks or companies for you to spend money which you don't have but you repay monthly with a high interest. Eg the bank can give you a credit card with an amount of ksh100,000 This means you can go to the shops, buy whatever to that amount. End of the month you pay a % of the amount let's say they will deduct from your salary ksh10000. You are left with ksh90,000 but then they add a big interest on this balance. Here in S.A it can be 20% to 25% interest depending on your credit worthy. So you see, although your paying back, you can be trapped into debt coz of interest. One credit card will be fine to manage. The best thing is to pay more than what they deduct. Am not sure if you can do that in the U.S. When you pay back credit facilities without defaulting, it increases your credit score and worthiness and you become important for those who want to offer you good loans eg when u want to buy a car or a house. They check your records and see you are a good payer.
Waaaa thenkx so much my friend Fran Mdleleni for that clarification be blessed where you are
@@franmdleleni6520 Thanks so much credit well explained 🌟🌟🌟
Betty alisema venye life is so hard in America then just bought a new house the following month🤣🤣🤣

Excellent
Hi Shiku, I'm new here, very greatful for your advice.Niko class yako 100%
On matters investments you can also buy government bonds in addition to your land, it’s very flexible and the return is good every 6 months you earn your interest. You don’t have to keep your money in a savings account buy bonds and tbills open a custody account or speak to your bank for this
Shiko..you are honest and kind..may our good Lord continue to bless the work of your hands..Lv u.
Thanks shiko , watching from Uganda
Thanks for the info. I'm anew immigrant in Canada and living each day at a time as I strive to make it work out.

Shikoh where do you leave your young child while going to work?
The first time I watched this video I ws just enjoying your lovely voice and the positive vibes. Now am back here after watching Betty AZ's video my goodness! I am so keen and attentive 🤣🤣
Shiko do a video on "is it good to buy a house (mortgage) or rent? How long do mortgage last?
Following for this shiko , you answerd my doubts & questions & thank you for guiding us .Ngai akurathime wamatha
What is kyamazi ! Sorry am Ugandan some kiswahili words are hard anyway thanks so much ur really a kind thoughtful person may God bless you
Chamas not kyamazi. Chama is financial merry go rounds. Where you contribute money to a common pool, then the money is given to members in circles.What we call table banking also. Think along that line, hope this helps.
At least there are many opportunities in U.S and in the diaspora. One just needs to look for them.
Welldone Shiko. So proud of where you have come to where you are. Hope you remember where we met.
Yes I remember. Thank you 😊
Wow this is beautiful Shiloh. Thank you ♥️♥️
Thanks my dear all your informations are sooo touching and very positive. Be blessed.
the truth that you spilled mungu akubariki tu
Big up guys💪🍾good job 👏🏼 , now let as compare and contrast.
Shiko you need to do a video on compare and contrast of your previous home back in Kenya and your current home.
Will motivate many
You can't compare Kenya to USA, there are worlds apart.
My first time of commenting, you're really dishing out hope to us, thank you for being real. I will like all your videos
Hi Shiko, thanks for the information. How do you become a member of Sams club or Costco?
Hi Shiko, I'm from Zimbabwe and recently came across your videos and I've been hooked ever since. I'm a registered nurse and doing my visa process to come to America. I'd like to know how helpful it has been to have both yourself and your husband working (that's if he is working). How has it impacted how you afford your bills and expenses and your savings too? Has it given you a better and comfortable lifestyle?
Yes ma'am. Two heads are better than one. Welcome to America 🇺🇸
I have a paramilitary certificate from Kenya,,is it an added advantage in joining the British army?
Wow, great content there information is wealth.
You're so good hearted, love you for free...more blessings Mami💕
The message is still just as fresh as if u posted yesterday .Keep going Shiko
Hi Shiko I love your videos thank you being open and encouraging us especially those of us praying to come to the land of opportunities. May God bless you
First one here yeee inawezekana.
#inawezekana
Inaezekana thank you shiko for giving us hope...kindly talk abt going back to school after arriving there nazenye mtu atapata a well paying job
Very educative taking note's.. Thank you
Thanks Shiko, can we also discuss the process of getting to US through an invitation...what happens? How can one change the visitors' visa to enable one get a job?
Doing it soon
Please do, I would like to know more about invitation and how to change B1B2 Visa
Hi shiko Was this done hmm
Was the video done?
Shiku you are the best may God bless you cause everytime am watching your videos you make feel as if am already in USA am trusting God to come there soon.
Thank Mrs Shiko for such insightful information.
God richly bless you.
Next time talk about cheaper states and expensive States comparing the Cost of lets say rent and food
I agree, this is really key. It can play a role on how fast one settles down in the US.
There is nothing like cheaper state or expensive states. It’s like someone living in Nairobi and earning more money and someone living in Eldoret and earning less money. Minimum wage in United States are different in every state. Someone living in Carlifonia earns good money but the rent is expensive while someone living in North Carolina state , the rent is cheap but the minimum wage is also low. So it’s just the same
@@DaviesMatep yes we have affordable states...you compare where you will settle in terms of rent or house buying. Southern states are affordable... NC.. georgia, nashville...SC
@@DaviesMatep But I understand your point
You always speak the truth .na kutomboa siri zote shiku.which we did know.thanks
Thank you for this information. Indeed very helpful. God bless you Mum.
Thank you for that advice Mrs Shiko.
God richly bless you.
Some people just discourage others I wonder what's their motive they just tell you about the negative side.thanks for the infor & sharing.
Very good video. You made my day with "returning hand" 🤣🤣
Many people don't understand credit cards. If you are disciplined with money you can have as many as you can without hurting yourself credit wise.
Wow,l love this,thank you
Shiko you are encouragement to many, God bless you.
Thanks Shiko for giving me hope and ideas. My dream to come to America is still alive#inawezekena.
Shiko you are a lucky woman and God is with you and may the good lord remember me and my family
Tell us the truth madam. You deserve my subscription girl
Thank you 😘

Eeee,l salute you dear,nimekuvulia kofia.that man is lucky to have this kind of a woman.keep opening our eyes,God bless you
