Dino noted that people who migrate to the US with a Nigerian mentality will see that it won't work for them.

He said another thing he did not like about the country was the snow, which he said was not as fun as people thought.

According to Dino:

"Everyone dreams of coming to America, but can you handle it? America isn't heaven- people suffer here too. Loneliness is real, and it hits hard. Taxes are no joke, and they'll take a chunk. Culture shock is nothing like what you see in the movies, bro it's crazy. Your Nigeria madness cannot work here, these guys have g. Snow isn't as fun as it seems. Trust me, you'll hate the cold. The American Dream is not free-it takes hard work and sacrifice."
