Travel / Re: Memoirs From Chile by babakb: 6:32am
tensazangetsu20:
Chile Is an amazing country but unfortunately it's not paradise. Chile as a country has very deep internal issues and most of these issues do not show on the surface.

You don't get to see Chile's issues until you start interacting with Chileans and get to see life through their own perspective.

The wage inequality in Chile is very real. A simple internet search will show you that Chile has one of the largest income Inequalities in the world but if you come to Chile, it's not very apparent. Most people tend to dress well and somehow look fresh but men life is hard.

Let's say you live in the same city I live in and you earn the Chilean minimum wage of around 500000 Chilean pesos which comes to around 500 usd a month. A single room in this city. A room not a house goes for 200000 pesos. You would also pay a tax of around 50000 pesos on that money. What's left after that. How are you gonna eat? How are you gonna buy clothes and all.

The education gap is also very wide. It's very expensive to go to school in Chile from primary school to university so if you are born in a low income household you are pretty much bleeped to be honest. It will take the grace of god to pull out. To be born to a poor single mother household in Chile is equivalent to being born an almajiri in Nigeria. There's really not much difference. Life on earth would be hell for both people.

Another problem I have noticed is that the family unit in Chile is completely broken. A lot of Chilean men are very irresponsible and that has led to a huge number of single mothers. It's almost an epidemic here. There's like so many single mothers. Most times these kids are left to the mothers to raise and it's extremely difficult especially if the lady doesn't have a good career or profession going for her.

Truly every country in this world has issues and there's really no perfect country on earth. I like Chile for what I have gained here and the opportunities I have gotten access to but Chile has really deep issues and I feel those issues are what makes Chile a second world country despite how developed the country is. I feel a whole lot more work will need to be done by the government to reduce the wage gap for Chile to actually be a first world nation in the true sense of it.

This is actually not a problem, Chile is where it's supposed to be in terms of development, like you said it's a Second world country, I'm not disappointed with that.

Chile is still far better than a certain giant of Africa that has become a home to Mass murderers, Serial killers, Kidnappers, Ritualists, Armed Robbers, Bribery and Corruption, Vandalism etc

Chile will get there.

Yes! That's the perfect environment. You also need to put enough self-study, get a French teacher in the city or town and make friends with young Francophones who have lots of freetime, so that you can be forced to keep speaking French and self correcting.

You can still do passive listening when you are occupied with something else, just set the proper expectations that you are not going to absorb 100% of the material, even if you absorb 10%, it is still good enough. Only do passive listening with audios to which you have listened and decoded their meanings. Don't do passive listening with new audios.


With your experience in this journey, do you think living in a francophone country for 3 months immersion will help in blasting TEF or TCF, especially for someone on A2 level.

I'm looking at embarking on this adventure next year, it'll cost a lot of money so I need some assurances smiley smiley smiley

This one of the effects of spreading hate against women for no reason, men don't think twice now before killing a woman because other men will be happy about it and justify why she deserved to be killed.

You are only allowed to say this if all he did was insult, punch or slap her, not cutting off any part of her body like an animal

No man is allowed to punch or slap a woman even if she ran her mouth, if you can't live with an insulting and nagging wife then divorce her and let her go.

We should stop justifying domestic violence against anyone.

Travel / Re: What Is With The Inflated Ego Of Nigerians Who Relocate Abroad by babakb: 10:28pm On Mar 30
Neddstark:
Firstly, I will like to infer this. I have been in three countries in the world with the UK being one where I went for a family/business visit. I am also doing quite average with my business here in Nigeria. So there is no envy in this topic.

However, I have noticed this of recent. Most Nigerians who relocated out of Nigeria suddenly have a superior feeling above their country people back at home. Out of 10 fellow Nigerians I know who relocated, at least 7 of them directly or indirectly try and inflate themselves over you like they are mega superstars all because they are now in a country that their fathers and ancestors did not raise a finger to develop.

The only comments they make about Nigeria are bad ones and they always demonize their fellow countrymen as if they didn't stay in Nigeria most of their lives. And if you contact them from here, you can sense the pride in their response. Or they give this chat attitude when you communicate with them like if you are the new bug in town that should be avoided.

This is not limited to colleagues or friends, it is even worst among family members. My ex has finally gotten the guts to block every communication with her younger sister who went to the USA. The girl was able to get an American man in his 50s to marry and since then, the last born wants to control the family because of the $100 monthly she sends to the parents.

I know they will come for me but I no blame una. Na the useless leaders wey no sabi anything na them I blame. And for the record, I am not relocating. I will keep doing my business here and I will not sell my landed property to travel abroad whether it is to work in an office or wipe old women's arse for a living. Because you are in a white man's land doesn't make you any better than me or anyone you left back home.

Kudos to those who didn't let seeking greener pastures abroad change them.

In midst of the madness, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Amen

Is it a crime if the last born controls the family, what matters is the positive results her control brings.

I so much detest siblings seniority BS, I see it happening in a lot of families, Elder siblings wants you to be subservient to them and yet they want to enjoy your money grin grin grin Kolework, He who brings more money calls the shots, please it's not pride or arrogance, it's the game.

Everybody wants to be in control, besides how can a woman living in the US be in control in Nigeria Your ex should calm down and enjoy the benefits of her younger sister's status.

P.S. Visa is fake. No agent can get you a job which requires a work visa in Europe. How many times do we need to state this here?!

The only thing you said here that is correct is the Visa is fake wink wink wink

But the reference to Remi Tinubu statement is meaningless, yes I can't work as a cleaner here in Nigeria but I can do it in the EU, America or Canada: do you know why?

I get to enjoy the benefits of travelling round the world without hassles and meet different people from all parts of the world.
I get to enjoy quality infrastructure.
I get access to quality education.
I don't have to fear for Kidnappers, Ritualists, Terrorists and Bandits.
I won't get to hear how truck crush live humans on the road every week.

Remi Tinubu and her likes will surely enjoy Nigeria but not people like us.

pansophist:
If Japa also includes other stable African countries, then it is achievable by almost all Nigerians. Fun fact. Only Brazil is bigger in landmass than all the 28 countries in the EU.

So Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

Now add other non-EU countries like Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Andorra, Georgia, Kosovo, Ukraine, Turkey, Monaco, Moldova, and Brazil is still bigger than all of them plus the above EU countries combined.

The world is way bigger than the West. The West is a small place. Ecowas for example is bigger than all EU countries in landmass combined.

Of course, I understand that landmass means nothing without opportunities, but my point is that Earth is a freaking huge place, and one would be missing out on only concentrating on the West for migration.

I don't even want to add Asia, South America, Oceania, Africa, the Caribbeans, the Pacific, the Middle East, or Russia, the largest country in the world. Japa should not be synonymous with the West. Go to other places. God created heaven and earth, not Africa and the West.

I get your point but the West is still the best place to start with wink

I've not Japa yet but I know the enormous benefits of acquiring a Western passport, it gives you access to any part of the world smiley smiley smiley

People talk about racism in the West but there's racism everywhere so immigrants should gun for the West and enjoy all the benefits that comes with their passports.

Skit or other activities of adult on social media?

1- that whole South America region is full of sapa and dangerous gangs. Even their own people are japaing out of their
2- America is too dangerous. Over a billion guns hiding waiting to blast. You just have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Too much violence and psychos and weirdos
3- Canada, boredom will destroy your life
4- other African countries ? All got the same struggles like naija. No jobs
5-other European countries ? Black man no get any levels there at all plus language barrier
6- Russia, nothing Dey there. No job for black man
7- Asia, no job for black man and language barrier
8- Arab countries, dem no rate black man there
Pacific islands, sapa full there well well
9- Australia, e too far

And that’s the whole world leaving us with uk. They speak English, there are over 400 Nigerian restaurants, black man get small levels eg kemi badenock and umanah and David lami etc, suya spot Dey everywhere, naija parry everywhere, only 6 hours away from naija, jobs Dey yafunyafun although e fit be wiping yansh sha lol, you will not be to homesick if you move to areas like Peckham, it’s culturally diverse, if clubbing is your thing club Dey everywhere .
