Is Russia a better place than where? Your query is incomplete.

smiley smiley smiley grin from mine personal view it is a complete statement,the poster is not doing comparism only wanted to know if the country or the environment would be convenient for him to stay.

^^^ Comrade, when the word " better" is used in any context, it becomes a comparison. Onitilo asked if Russia is a better place to stay. Better than where? The answers he get would depend on where he currently resides. If he lives in the United States, the answer would be no. If he lives in Iraq, the answer would most likely be yes.

So his question is all about comparison.

EXACTLY.
Poor education is just rife in nigeria.

Russia is a terrible place for blacks. they are routinely attacked in trains and shopping malls.
Besides, russia has little or nothing to offer anybody as the society is similar to that of Nigeria: a few people with all the money.
I'd rather live in nigeria than in russia.
Re: Is Russia A Good Place To Live? by Nobody: 2:34pm On Aug 10, 2011
The racial discrimination in Russia against Africans is very high. It's among the worst places to live as Africans.
Re: Is Russia A Good Place To Live? by Nobody: 2:42pm On Aug 10, 2011
There are very dangerous skinheads in Russia, even in Moscow. Racist attacks happen with shocking regularity in Russia.

However, you could always try your luck. This man below did,

And he made a success out of himself.

Chai,wen i dey tink say,make i give the op my opinion kpam kpam b4 ppl spoil im mind with their stereotyping.but i will still say my own.

Nw,it depends on wat u want to go and do there,if na to go and work,dat wan na long tin o,because 1)their economy just use style beta pass our own ni.and the jobs they available are just enof for their citizens,n nt even enof,but its far far beta dan 9ja's own.2)nigerians don spoil deir mind with our gbajue n illegal hustling behavior.there ws a tym,u wud see 9jarians hawkin hard drugs on d road,and our gals sef no try,na so so prostitution,n dat caused dem to be harsh on us.n ofcos oda africans too.

But if na to study,then russia is a gr8 place to go.me sef am going there soon.i had a lot of mixed feelings b4,so i decided to tospy d place n check it out b4 decidin,and i went in march n spent 2 months,and i can say the place is a good place.

And on the big mata,RACISM,its has a lot of factors,be cautious of the way u talk to dem,know wen to leave dem n go ur house(usually wen dey take too much vodka,they start to misbehave),dont walk alone in alleys,n lonely areas(but i didnt adhere to dis one o,i walked freely) and dont do anything illegal.dont overchase their gals,even if they chase u.(gals r more dan men in russia)russian men r mostly jealous.so dnt go around d streets flauntin ur russian gf.if u adhere to all dis,u av a 0.0001% chance of getin beaten.and ignore racist comments too,give dem dat na dem sabi attitude.but to be honest,racist abuse has gone down very well,maybe 1 or 2 incidents in deir villages n suburb areas.

I hope i av tried.dasvidaniya (byebye in russian)hehehe.i learn sometin.awkin hard drugs on d road,and our gals sef no try,na so so prostitution,n dat caused dem to be harsh on us.n ofcos oda africans too.

Re: Is Russia A Good Place To Live? by Nobody: 8:22pm On Aug 10, 2011
I visited St Petersburg, Russia in 2007. I was there for just one week, but even in that short period, I could feel the hate coming from most Russians in waves. Anytime I was at an eatery, shopping mall or on a train, I could sense their dislike, the atmosphere was thick enough for you to lean against, or cut with a bread knife.

I couldn't imagine any sane African wanting to study there. You'll have little or no social life, dating a Russian girl could be dangerous, drinking in a bar could end up with you staggering through a dark alley, with a broken head. Compared to Russia, Nigeria is paradise.

I'm guessing you're female

A male would more likely be attacked than a female.

Numerous videos abound on Yt showing skinheads jumping immigrants.
