CalmTravels: Nigerians just do not want to learn another language. Too stuck in their old ways. There is no Western English country that I like. Australia and New Zealand are too far, Ireland and the UK is an islands, and you can only enter by flying, instead of driving. Malta is also an Island, while the US and Canada are so huge, that living there feels like living in a forest. I don't like their governmental system as well. As far as the West is concerned, I prefer the non-English speaking ones. If you live in Germany for example, you share a border with about nine different countries, making holidays easy. You can just wake up at 2am and drive to Switzerland. Isn't that beautiful? 62 Likes 11 Shares |

pansophist: To be honest even learning a new language doesn't guarantee anything. People don go Goethe institute sotey they dey dream in German. Visa no still come . The only foreign language I can advise anyone to learn is Spanish. Citizenship in Spanish speaking countries is a bit easy and if you want to get eu citizenship. All ex colonies nationals only need to live two years in Spain to get EU citizenship. Mind you this can be gotten in 6 years depending on when you leave naija o. That 6 years na only PR In some countries that's if you get visa sef 11 Likes |

If you spend a day here you will appreciate why Whites dont like blacks coming to their country! Many Nigerians still carry the mentality of making excessive money they dont actually need. If live in Schengen region, you will find out you don't really need a car, as there are efficient transport network tensazangetsu20: 29 Likes 4 Shares |

By on million times, Sweden is better.... Nigerians are moving from places like France, Italy, Belgium down to here. I met two yesterday. However, its jobs like sales manager, hostel manager etc that they could get. Once you have a place to lay your head, you can get jobs like i mentioned above. 98% Swedes speak English BigDawsNet: 9 Likes 1 Share |

For me, Swedish visa is very easy to get as i apply through Rwanda. I got it in 5 days! Like i said before, they are tightening the route through education because most people from 3rd country, come school & dont like to go back to their country. They need businesses who can at least employ them..... That is why they easily give visas to entrepreneurs than to students tensazangetsu20: 5 Likes 1 Share |

This is what you have to deal with... A call plan of 95SEK (roughly $10) for unlimited phone calls per month. I use Comviq. A transport bill of 360SEK per month for unlimited use of the Metro train/bus (T-Centralaen). A one br apartment cost 4000-8000 SEK per month. Inclusive of utilities. To get the equivalent in dollars always divide by 10. Food depends on your preference. Roughly 1000SEK will do. Then you enjoy the serenity of Scandinavia. 24 Likes 5 Shares |

Speak of where you have been to or live. Let me share my experience with you.... Sweden is almost 99.9% cashless society. When i first came here, i didnt come with an ATM Card. No way for me to make payment. But i have USD bills in hundreds. But no SEK. i didnt get means of paying for my apartment, they dont like cash. I went to the metro to use the speed train to go back to the airport where i changed money earlier. But train ticket will soon expire. After discussing with the guy on e-gate, he told me how a tourist had the same issue, and guess what, he simply went inside and brought out his food pack for that night and gave me. He brought out some SEK to add, my dear i told i him i am not a beggar that i need him to open the gate while i go back to my apartment... He quickly without hesitating book a 39SEK ticket that will take me home. My experience though! Word of advise: Dont come in as an illegal 9japride: 13 Likes |

Here if you want to burn their holy book, its allowed. They call it freedom of choice. If it is not ok for you, go back to where it is ok for you. They are Swedes, and doesnt want to be something else. They are seeing what France has turned into. Gerrard59: 3 Likes |

If you dont know your way around you will be spending like a crazy monster... This is pure wheat bread. I bought it at Coop S/per market for 65SEK approximately $6.5. If you take just 6 slice your belly don full. This two load would serve me for one week. One part of my three square meal is served, though with fish/chicken and petty other stuff. But another person would decide to buy the one 200SEK.... 12 Likes
