You already a failure in life. Carry your frustration to your papa not me.
Retardèd slowpoke.
Las Las you go die inside water trying to enter Gabon.
Born foolish bastărd.

Kingpele:
Chai Gabon of all places...for whatever reason don't go to Gabon..u will suffer...I have travelled to Europe and gambia and I know that exchange rate is not much factor....look at China yuan the currency exchange rate is way less than dollar but their economy is doing better than USA ...population is key...I have a guy who travelled to Gabon for so many years..we all thought he was doing great only for him to return last year with nothing much..no wife no children and he's older than me by 3years ..now he's learning a trade in ogbete main market enugu..make japa no carry us to where we will suffer more

Grupo:


That guy is very right.

Nigeria is the cheapest place to live in the whole of Africa. You won't understand this until you live in other African countries or you compare living costs.

Before you debate, mention one African country that is cheaper to live in than Nigeria.

Marjoribanks:
Which country is?

mkbessman:
Please I’ve been thinking about this since last year. I teach here In Nigeria. I can’t afford to go to the western or Asian countries but I think I can be able to save to move to Gabon to atleast teach.

I’ve checked their minimum wage, unemployment rate and their exchange rate snd I think it’s better off than Nigeria. Please advise me. I’m still single and in my mid 30s.

Is it worth taking a try? I know no one there.

I am willing to take the risk to go look for a job there with what I’ve saved so far. I’m projecting 500k.

Please I honestly and sincerely need your advice

mkbessman:



If you’re a clown talk again. You really need to get your brain checked. You just entered this thread and all you could do is to insult people. You’re a waste. I won’t answer you again because I don’t talk with clowns.

dondo83:



500k will not get you into Gabon , I travel to gabon twice every year to work … as a first timer they will only give you 1 month visa at 260k plus …flight alone is over 800k minimum! The living cost of Gabon is also high as they use an American system. Rent is paid on monthly basis , the least rent will cost you minimum of 200k a month … you will have to pay close to another 1 million to have a working visa … forget the English teaching job as the language is not widely spoken … Gabonese people hate menial jobs as they love to read so getting a menial job to start life will be helpful … so as not to suffer you really need a contact person to make it easy for you … if you can drive the best job will be to start as a cab man … my cab man makes over 1m after all expenses paid (exchange rate factor , used to be 500k ) hope this helps

greggng:



Brassavile is not Gabon...do you mean Libreville?

JungleJustice01:


Theres not much to lose. I would advise you do some preliminary findings though. Join gabonese groups on facebook and seek information. Check their job boards, check school websites and mail the proprietors or connect to them on linkedin. Ask to know what prospects you have with your qualifications and experience.

Look out for other nigerians in Gabon or anyone who can receive you and show you around town for your first few weeks. Look for churhces there as well and connect. Finally, you should definitely have an exit strategy if things do not work out as planned.

This way your risk is calculated. Good luck

SweetyZinta:


Please save at least 1M if you are not going there by Bus

tctrills:

Oga, I have lived and done business in 3 African countries now. Minus the quality of their food and the fact that my family is in Nigeria, there is nothing to miss about Nigeria.
Right now Nigeria is hell compared to most places in Africa.

henrixx:
don't use exchange rate to determine how good the economy of a country is o. I've
been to several African countries and I can tell you things are quite expensive compared to nigeria . e.g a bottle water be costing like #1500 naira lol.

goodman023:


What is the best African country in term of security, how safe it is, weather, food etc?

sweetkev:
It's your bad currency that makes it look like it's expensive. Naira is worthless in Africa now.

cocoduck:
Nope! Don't, if you do, you will be taken advantage of. the minimum wage is for citizens or residents with carte de sejour and you are working for the government. The private schools run by Nigerians (that is where you will work because you do not have carte de sejour and you do not speak french) don't pay well, If I were you, I will buy a camera and film myself teaching, then upload it to youtube. With time YT will pay you. BTW 500k is way too small.

coputa:
Yes, the Gambia with their small population, needs labour.

You will meet many nigerians there doing different jobs and also their currency is higher than the naira

I worked as a teacher in the Gambia for two years 2002 to 2004

Rodinat:
You can try Cote D'Ivoire there more Nigerian there.You can go by bus from Ejigbo town in Osun state,you will spend less than 100k for the trip.Its a three days journey.Best of luck brother.

tctrills:

For food, no one beats Nigeria. We have the best food by miles
For security, I could give you more than 30 countries where you wouldn't have a single problem. But the clue is this, any country not at war and that doesn't have insurgents is likely safe. South Africa and Zimbabwe are not too safe. Also Kenya and Tanzania are not perfect but all these are much better than 9ja.
As for the weather, its not a problem.
Now here are my top picks
Gabon
Equitoral guinea
Ivory Coast
Morroco
Algeria
Ghana but they don't like us too much
Tanzania is growing very fast it's a great place to set up a business
Benin and Togo are perfect for almost any kind of business and they are close to 9ja
You can become a millionaire in Libya in just a day if you are the risk-taking type. I will not say more.
The smaller Congo, not DR Congo is growing every day
And maybe Senegal.


If you notice, I did not mention some of the richer and more stable countries such as Cape Verde, Namibia, and Mauritius because I don't think they offer many oppurtunities.

Yomkris:
@op.
i will advise you follow your heart by trying another land. all you need is to do your research well.

since you are a graduate of mech Engine, you should be very good in teaching mathematics or physics. the teachers of science subjectsi are hot cakes in some African countries.

I'm presently in Cote D'Ivoire though not for teaching jobs.
kindly contact me via my signature. God will help us

viodemus:
Relocate if you have the opportunity.

Gabon has electricity. Like other African countries, they are not really using it for anything.


If you Japa and do business, do some with your intended trade name, but do many in the country's name. When I use to run a restaurant, I used their local name, but my menu had diverse food, and that is where I got creative with names.

I wish you good luck.

Is possible to make it anywhere, some people get their platform to success in Nigeria or Africa, while some spring boards to success might be when you travel out.

Parrot69:

Your still a kid. Before I joined nairaland, I was in a forum called Nigerian Best Forum in 2004. That time you were still drooling catarh on your nose. I discovered nairaland in 2006.
I had my first passport in 2003. I did my first travel in 2004. I've been more than 7 countries.
You're a kid. Internet is just giving you leverage to talk to people anyhow.
Fooòl that wants to travel with N500k.
Just $277. I pity your daft family.
I pray that boat you want to use to go to Gabon will capsize inside the water and you die because You're a waste. Your education is useless.
I created this moniker to taunt idiòts like you that holds no future in life.

Learn french arrange your LinkedIn profile and I believe you will get a job in a few months in Abidjan.
It is one of the fastest developing cities in Africa. But their food is nonsense.
