For the first one week you come to any Nordic Country, look for this kind of accommodation. They are cheap, used by whites of all social status. Like i said earlier on, no go do big boy for Europe ohhh. Once you go broke, you go understand that most of those people you call friends are an extension of village people.. 2 Likes

One of the reasons where Nordic countries have some of the highest standard of living and almost nowide gap between very rich & very poor, is their Agricultural section is well developed, even helping countries like Romania, Poland etc to import their farm produce 1 Like |

Before coming right over to Nordic countries, prostitution is illegal. If you are caught, they dont do anything to the lady, its the male they fine or jail. Even ladies look for easy pick on men, so be mindful before you accept to bed any lady. Better go for old, matures ones, sa shame wont allow them cry wolf. Black and color girls are worse hit by scarce sex. They sometimes ask black guys out. So if you are lucky they hit it off with you |

CalmTravels: Sex in Scandinavia is basically ¨survival of the hottest¨. If you have a potbelly, don't give a shit about your appearance, and think you can just dole out cash to girls for fork, then you are on a long thing. People there have money, they will only fork you when there is attraction. No such things as pay-as-you-go sex, or who-cup. You want to nack?, just accept that you must be physically responsible by force. This can also be true for all of Europe, not just the Nordics. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable" - Socrates. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

CalmTravels: For Nigerians, it is English before every other thing. Even in Ecowas, Ivory Coast is far better than Ghana, but they decide to kill themselves with Ghana. In the west, Canada is the shittiest of the options, and even worse, the UK. Canada is one giant hellish freezer, and for many Nigerians, their only achievement is the ayam-living-in-Canada slogan. Imagine British students paying up to 10k pounds a year to study for a degree, meanwhile, those in Sweden are paid to study, all for free. In fact the more unfortunate you are, the more money you get. I know a physically challenged guy that comes to school with a wheelchair, I swear this guy is richer than us that have jobs and has legs. Due to his lack of immobility, there are privileges he could access that we cant. This mofo got his house paid for, and his apartment is a special kind of apartment with live camera monitoring everywhere and a speed dial for doctors to show up immediately if he needs help. He has a dedicated cook and receives free money monthly. He was studying computer engineering, and a lot of his study equipment, and expensive devices were all free for him. Mehn, I begin looking at my leg one faithful day and asked myself seriously? Should I just break this thing and start coming to class in a wheelchair? So imagine, if a society can treat the weakest amongst them in such a graceful way, that goes to show how awesome such a place is. Right now, about 25% (that's one in four) of British citizens are below the poverty line, getting food from food banks, and the UK govt keeps cutting down social support. This can never happen in the Nordic. You see Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Denmark. Those countries as far as the West is concerned are utopias. If learning a language is not your problem, I don't see whey a person will choose Canada or UK over the Nordic countries. Are you normal? 11 Likes 2 Shares |

The golden rule here is that if the girls dont look at you or give you sufficient green light to approach, please do not go ahead. She can easily call the police on you..... Ok. Everyone agrees the ladies here are really starved of sex. Yes. Swedes dont give a shit about that stuff between the legs of a lady. There are rumor's of a sex party somewhere in Sweden.

Something you must understand in Sweden. * If you sleep with an under aged girl, its five years in jail for you and 10k Euros for her..... please be really careful. My experience. I was hanging at my favorite pub, when this really cute bae want to have a convo with me, and started telling me that i look young and all that, me mature old cock. Tipsy though, i want to carry the free cookie home when my friend quickly demand to know her age and perhaps see some ID to verify her age. Baby just waka comot. He told me that some girls look out for guys who just came to live in Sweden. These are mainly other European citizens from Poland, Romania, etc. That was when i newly came to Sweden. Be careful, one girl fit use your foolishness buy designer phones & Prada bags. Hold your cravings. Worse still, buy train ticket go Italy, Spain or Greece. You will get it all! 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Sometimes, you just go to gay pub. Luck might shine on you and a Lez might decide to give you a free ride. I was there sometime last week. Took this really sweet, cute & tall Ethiopian girl home...... Girl later told me she is bisexual and really like men, but for survival sake, she gat to always frequent there. In the morning i just sharply discharge her before one night stand become living in partner Funny thing is that you gat to pretend you support queer people...lol. |

Inyaky: Racism and tribalism are both bad. One doesn't cancel another. I don't really know why people like you and CalmTravels are justifying racism because tribalism exist in Nigeria, very absurd thinking. It's like saying Swedes can rape because there is murder in Nigeria Tribalism is not worse than Racism as you may think. Many European countries do have tribalism and nationalism issues, almost all of them have fought bloody wars with their neighbouring countries or territories that once belong to them. CalmTravels made it seem like only black people in Nigeria engage in tribalism. Once again, I'm not justifying tribalism in Nigeria. Sweden like most western countries have their own problems, it's not some mythical paradise. The OP is selling market so it's expected he will present Sweden as some magical city without problems. Now, I'm not saying people shouldn't japa to Sweden. People should japa to wherever the feel is best for them! 1 Like |
Re: Things I Found Out About Sweden! by CalmTravels: 4:09pm On Jul 29, 2023 |
I agree with you on that racism is bad, and stands condemned, but how about we put our home and mindset in order first before even asking strangers to treat us fine. If we treat our selves fine, no body would tell foreigners to do the same. In my opinion, tribalism is worse form of discriminating, because tribalism has been known to lead to mass killings of the vulnerable. Mcowubaba: 1 Like |

Once accommodation and food is settled, i tell you much of Europe is so sweet, you'd never want to leave here. However, the first clique of people you meet the first week you land is what would define whether Europe will be sweet or bitter on. Once you got a job that pays you at least 13,000SEK ($1300) Monthly, you can manage and have a semblance of life, and grow from there! On no account, should you seek for asylum. Once you do, and they take your finger prints, that is the end of any Schengen Country for you! Ask question from Companies like us, so you dont solve your migration challenges with quick fix, short gain strategy! 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Except of course, you are gay! But make sure you pass the test that comes with claiming asylum via gay route. |
Re: Things I Found Out About Sweden! by Mcowubaba: 8:27pm On Jul 29, 2023 |
CalmTravels: You're still missing the point. Even if tribalism didn't exist, racism will still exist. These two things are mutually exclusive is not a hard concept to grasp. Beating your brother at home doesn't justify or give the right to a stranger to stab your brother outside your home Racism is more complex than "If we treat our selves fine, no body would tell foreigners to do the same." It literally doesn't work like that, c'mon be real. In summary, racism and tribalism doesn't cancel each other, they are mutually exclusive if you know what that means. Peace! 1 Like |

To get the dollar equivalent of SEK divide by 10. IT salaries in Sweden Sweden offers the highest net salary (after taxes) in the European Union after Denmark and Luxembourg. The average salary in Sweden is SEK 31,400 per month before taxes or SEK 376,800 per year, according to Statistics Sweden. IT workers earn almost 30% above the average in Sweden. How much you can earn According to Statistics Sweden, the average salary for software and system developers stands at SEK 40,000 per month (before taxes) varying between SEK 35,000 and 44,100. Note that the minimum salary to apply for an EU Blue Card in Sweden is SEK 51,900 per month. If say you earn this alary, you can apply for this type of permit.

Re: Things I Found Out About Sweden! by CalmTravels: 10:09am On Jul 30, 2023 |
Experience matters a lot. Sweden is a weird blend of Capitalism, Socialism & Welfarism. You will like it here, as the average Swede is living above EU standard of living, compared to UK, Germany, France etc. IT salaries depend on work experience. Employees with experience from 2 to 5 years earn on average 32% more than junior specialists across all industries. And once you hit the 10 years mark, the salary increases by 21% and an additional 14% for those who have crossed the 15 years mark, according to Salary Explorer. In addition, salaries are higher in the private sector — almost SEK 52,000 compared to remuneration offered by municipal organizations (close to SEK 44,000). IT salaries also vary significantly across the tech companies. Yubico, Google, Facebook, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) top the salary league in Sweden’s tech industry. Here are examples (SEK per month): Yubico: 127,960 Google: 107,940 Facebook: 103,250 AWS: 98,930 Microsoft: 91,090 King: 80,430 Mojang: 77,290 Bambora: 74,640 Spotify: 71,250 DICE: 62,710 iZettle: 52,680 Acast: 52,230 Klarna: 51,000 Rebtel: 48,900 Kry: 47,350 Automile: 44,430 Truecaller. Update for those on our Consultancy Plan. Lucky you if get employment from any of the above. Also, when submitting CV to companies for considerations in their next employment runs, let them know you can work remotely from Rwanda, but available at short notice to more to Sweden or any of the Nordic Country. Good luck! 1 Like |

On issues of Tax. Its usually 25%. Let me explain with this simple illustration. If you make SEK 40,000 a month living in Stockholm, you will be taxed SEK 10,362 (Roughly 25%). That means that your net pay will be SEK 29,638 per month. Though you earn roughly $4000, what is yours is actually $3000. Your average tax rate is 25.90%, and your marginal tax rate is 34.63%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of SEK 100 in your salary will be taxed SEK 34.63, hence, your net pay will only increase by SEK 65.37. This what they use in making sure the country is well run and good for everyone. |

Hi CalmTravels, You are too much in your exposition to Sweden...You actually did a nice job, I must give it to you. Nigerians (Nairalanders) ought to be proud of you because you demystified and simplified all that one needs to travel to Sweden and you even proved you're in Sweden with your shopping pictures to Willy's Store. My cousin travelled to Norway in the 90s but settled down in Sweden for many years before he relocated to the UK around the year 2020... However, he died and was buried in the UK due to stomach cancer. Anyway, I've downloaded Duolingo and I'm learning the Swedish language... Furthermore, I'm going to renew my international passport soon. I need to travel out of Nigeria to seek better pasture, as our country is fast decaying without any hope...Make man no come old finish. You made a vital point of transiting from Rwanda...Thumbs up! Just that all these movements will involve a lot of millions. I love your agricultural route innovation, it's a good one...I believe your travel agency is a legit one...Keep it up! Japa crew, let's japa! Cheers! 1 Like |

Bad news & good news.... Let me start with Bad news first. You must have an employment offer that pays you at least 26,000SEK before your work permit gets approved. This is roughly $2,600 pm. Previously it used to be 13,000SEK or $1,300 pm. This law comes into effect in October, This year. For those we are consulting for, hasten up. A s the day go by, Nationalists & Populists are taking over all Europe. Get your papers before it becomes more difficult.... Good news....More than 100 companies are already complaining that its going to hinder their employment runs. If you already have your application, or already here in Sweden, na work go dey find you. Several industries won't be able to meet work permit salary threshold. A number of industries are expected to struggle to find staff once the Government's new minimum salary threshold for work permits comes into effect. News agency TT reports that almost 100 collective agreements in Sweden include salaries below the new threshold of around SEK 26,500 a month, which is how much non-EU citizens will need to earn to receive a work permit or prolong an existing permit. Irene Wennemo from the Swedish National Mediation Office tells Radio Sweden it will be difficult for employers to give non-EU workers higher salaries, depending on their collective agreements. Migration Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard tells TT these jobs can be taken by unemployed people who are already in Sweden. |

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, Rwanda appears to be a better transit point as; in my opinion, there is a doubts regarding any document that comes from Nigeria. Through Rwanda, at least, the documents can be verified from anywhere in the world. This creates transparency which the West truly love... Yes, Agriculture route is a sure path way. It's going to be better now as the minimum pay has been move from 13,000SEK ($1,300) to $26,500 ($2,600) pm excluding other benefits.. Their leaders are always looking for ways to bridge the gap between the "Have" & "Have not". Good leaders i tell you. I love it out here. Taxes are high but i tell you there are lots of goodies for instance: * Child benefit. If you have 3-4 children, every month expect good money from the State. Yes proficiency in Swedish is a great benefit. I wish you all the best. Tack! KyleJason: |
