In his words:
"I’m officially a US citizen!! I’ve waited for many years. 13 years to be precise, for this moment and I’m so proud to be part of this amazing country, my host country.
"For 13 years, I have stayed and lived responsibly in this great country without committing any crime, felony or breaking any law. Indeed, I deserve to pat myself on the back. That is the most required eligibility to be awarded; naturalization."
Speaking with Legit.ng's Tunde Ososanya, Wilfred said the training he received from his parents who were teachers was instrumental in having a clean record in the the US.
According to him, he mastered how to maximize his mindset to follow the way things work to better make all the needed upward movement.
In his words:
"Most importantly, I had to take my time to learn the system by choosing my choice of friends. Then draw a road map to follow."
Speaking about opportunities in the US, Wilfred noted that menial jobs could rob people of the opportunity to spend valuable time with their families.
The Nigerian man, who transitioned from a menial job to a corporate setting, said he gets paid four times more and now spends more time with his family and also go on vacation. This also affords him the opportunity to grow his start-up, Zeed Worldwide.
Zeed Worldwide is a virtual coaching platform where several coaches are coaching young professionals around the world.
Wilfred said he is proud to be a Nigerian irrespective of the fact that a few bad ones are tarnishing the image of the country with internet scam.
He said:
"Nigerians are the most educated immigrants group in United States. With that in mind, I feel so proud. As a corporate professional, I am loved, respected and admired in my organization, the largest Healthcare system in Connecticut, Hartford Healthcare.
"In fact our CFO is a Nigerian. Again, Nigeria is a brand. I am proud of my identity regardless of the internet fraudsters."
Expressing gratitude to God
Wilfred expressed gratitude to God for all the blessings and opportunities he has brought his way.
He said:
"Always thankful for God for all his blessings and opportunities that he brings into my life, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave! God bless America."
