This is what I have always tell people, that it is better to face racism abroad than tribalism in our own country. I also wish we were still under British control because I'm sure our lives would be better than this.
If i had known I would continue with my Norwegian grandpa I met online some years back, I for use am japa, I got tired of him showing me his dick so I stopped communicating with him, been a lady in Nigeria is not easy at all. I met a black American online but he's always carrying gun. I m scared of gun so I left, I met a white American but he's too young, I will try my best to live this country, I don't want my children to be born here, a country where there's no justice and where people see white and call it black is not worth raising children 13 Likes 4 Shares |

That's terrible, those are the kind of people that gives blacks a bad name. Normally, those whites are cautious when dealing with forigeners and those kind of people just make the situation worst. I can't imagine how able bodied men will be avoiding jobs. In most European countries, they don't look down on one's profession as it is being down in Nigeria. A cleaner can take care of himself and family. Those guys were really lucky to get papers easily.

CalmTravels: Things I found out in Sweden.
• I paid commission to exchange my US dollars to Swedish krone! Foreign currency is actually not craved for here like we do in Africa
• Everyone is helpful, nice & kind. Can give up their food for you. Their social welfare system is the best in the world.
• It's a totally cashless economy here. Yes, you actually dont need a paper money. Everything is digitalized including buying anything!
• Everyone works. The bills are crazy so any krones is needed. The Swedes are naturally, big, brawny, smart and strong. So working hard is never a problem.
* Work resumes by 10 am here due to weather changes. I mean formal jobs, not non skilled jobs.
• During summer, the sun doesn't go down. Meaning, there's no night. You can get sick due to body adopting these time changes. My first night i Stockholm, i slept around 1am without knowing its that late.
• Its really stable here. Count your self lucky like me if you have access to Sweden, it takes a lot to get their papers! Their paper can straighten out some shits in your life. I am a testimony.
• Stockholm is an idea City to raise up a child as everything is cool, lovely and good! World class primary & secondary schooling FREE.
• Crime rate is really low. Yahoo, fraud or other social vices can not work here. You will be caught easily as there are traits to everything you do
• Swedes are normally thieves, they are the original Vikings or sea faring thieves of past, so to curb that natural trait to steal, the government has done a lot to ensure everything can be tranced, this gave rise to a cashless, contactless economy that has proved to very efficient! In order words, it has made the Swedes to be law abiding because off what use is it to steal when you know you will be caught? Well, their prison is better than most average homes in Africa!
• Transportation is relatively fixed. For 3.9$ (39SEK) you can get a ride on the bullet train to anywhere in Stockholm for 75minutes. No other fee applies.
• Beside Rent, food, anyone can survive in Stockholm without much of a deal! With a Salary of $3000 per month, you'd live like a king! Especially if you work remotely!
• You don't really need public transport/a car to move around city, except you are hopping from one island to another. A scooter or bicycle would be more helpful!
• Swedes are Innovative, they have customized bicycles to various roles in the house, or work.
• I prefer living in Stockholm than anywhere in USA or Canada.
• The gap between rich and poor is low compared to France or UK. Here the richest man might be that fellow riding an electric scooter, or drinking low beer with you in the pub.
• Most houses in Stockholm do not have physical keys... They use codes type into the door to open. So if you have no business there, you gat no reason
• Almost everyone drives a bicycle, or scooter to move from one place to another.
• Sweden is really expensive to live in, but has one of the highest quality of life you can imagine.
• Everyone drink tap water. It's squeaky clean & safe. pH value is almost 7.0 on the dot!
• I met several Nigerians, most of them left Italy to reside here. They're always preferred before other African nationalities.
• Nigerians here, as in Kigali keep the law. Bros remember me oooo when you don Hammer, God go see you through over there oooo |

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.... You need to visit willys and Lidl for cheaper food.Coop is the priciest store in Sweden.Netto was the cheapest before it was bought over by Coop in 2019. |

CalmTravels: The other part of Sweden that any new visitor might find challenging is that, the Swedish economy runs a contactless or cashless economy. So if you have been so used to paper money, your first two nights might be a bit challenging. I came with some USD, but to make some payments, i have to depend on the good will of a friend to make payments for me while i give him cash to deposit on his account.
For visitors who are only making a couple of journeys a day by public transport, the easiest way to pay is by contactless debit or credit card, which must be backed by Mastercard, Visa or American Express.
You can also use digital wallets such as Samsung Pay, Google Pay, Apple Pay and Fidesmo Pay.
The vast majority of stations on the tunnelbana (Subways) have automated barriers, while buses, boats and trams have a reader that you need to hold your card over as you climb aboard.
No one cheats anyone!

Pls what are the lucrative IT Courses/skills you can advice? I studied Accounting what to make myself more lucrative abroad. Kindly adviceThank you CalmTravels: The best way to get visas to Sweden and much of Schengen is no longer through Schooling, Covid-19 disrupted their economies hard. Its now through business, especially tech business! They will approve your visas sharp sharp.
They even have flexible working permits so entrepreneurs can come provide jobs for lots of people who came from a 3rd country, have work permits but no jobs. So in other words they are giving you papers so you can employ asylum seekers, graduates from universities who are mostly Africans or Indians. I know an east African Masters holder, doing a cleaning job. I shudder in horror. Well, that's what the city can provide though.
To survive and live like a king in Sweden, just have excellent IT Skills, have a remote job that pays you good. My dear, you will understand that Life is extremely good! |

Please I will like to know if they have Permanent Residence scheme like Canada. How easy is it to get their visa, and what's the relative Job opportunities they have?

Thank you. Marry before going. this is not a family advice tho |
