I've been to a lot of countries, and I must say that the cost of living in Switzerland is really high. The average price of a bottle of water here is $5. When I arrived last week, I spent 55 dollars on a pack of bottled water, which didn't even last for a week. I've been here for 9 days now, and I must say that my bank account is really feeling the heat. Everything here is damn expensive. Switzerland is for the rich abeg. Nothing anybody wan tell me. Today, when I went shopping for groceries, I thought I was going to spend not more than 80 dollars, but to my utmost surprise, I ended up spending over 200 dollars on little items. When I was in Norway, Australia and Netherlands, I thought that the cost of living was high (these countries are quite expensive to live in), but this is just on another level. I'm leaving here on Saturday abeg, before my account starts wailing.

Guys, let me use this medium to drop a piece of advice. If anyone is advising you to leave Nigeria, show gratitude to that person, because he/she wants the best for you. I've been touring for 6 months now, and I must confess that Nigeria is a sh*thole. This is actually an understatement. If there was a worse word to use to attribute Nigeria, I'd have used it. Once I'm done with my travels, I'm permanently relocating to a European country. I'm just using this medium to gather my facts first, before making a final decision.

I'm an American citizen by birth, but I've not lived there for 2 straight years; I've been on and off. America is kinda cool, but I've no interest in living there permanently. UK and Canada are for introverted people, in my own opinion. Right now, I'm thinking of maybe Sweden or Germany for permanent relocation. I was forced to learn Deutsch, because I studied in Germany from 2016-2022; before relocating back to Nigeria, to handle my Dad's businesses. I learn languages fast, but it took me 6 months to almost perfectly learn Deutsch language. I now speak English, French, Spanish, Deutsch, Latin, and a little bit of Hebrew. I'll be posting more with time. Merry Christmas in advance guys.

Merry Christmas brother

Oga that na for your pocket.


All this charlatans in abroad always come online to talk rubbish, since life is fair to you enjoy it without forcing it on us.


The best Way is for all Nigerians to look for a way to make this country better, if all Nigerians follows this your mindset it means over 200M million Nigerians will have to leave this space and move to abroad. That can never happen because over 80 percent can't even afford to buy air ticket to Ghana.

Since life has been fair to you, all you've to do now is to pray for Nigeria.


Don't come online and tell us that we're stupid to still be in Nigeria.

They also earn an equally high minimum wage.

The pay in Switzerland is challenged only by what you can earn in the US. Na you carry your EU savings enter there . Fresh graduates in Switzerland can sweep up a CHF 100k/yr salary which is equivalent to $111k. You need 10 years of experience to stand a chance (not getting it) in Netherlands or Norway. They also have lower taxes than the other low paying EU countries in context.

The swiss built that country differently, and it's why getting citizenship there is a nightmare of waiting

So true, the country was built differently.

Switzerland is the closest thing to heaven on earth we have on planet earth. The only other country aside the USA and Chile I would consider living in.

Tensa, hope you're good? Yeah Bro, it's a really good country, asides the high cost of living.

its too expensive even the country side is too expensive


poor people can't survive there


it's damn too quiet and boring


nothing's going in that country


many tech bros would rather go to Thailand than there



The nightlife is really bad. Restaurants close early. Nothing is open on Sundays. The food is really mediocre, especially compared to France. The people are really stuffy.

I am curious, why do you want to live in those European countries (they have fewer black people/less diverse) since your dad has his businesses and you have a strong passport already?

Your language learning talent is great! To further test this talent, try learning Japanese or Chinese next. You have covered Latin/Roman/Germanic languages. Try East Asian languages.

Regarding the cost of living, obviously, Switzerland is notoriously expensive. It is one of those elite of the elite countries in the world. Very few countries, even developed peers, come close to it. From the immigration system/policies (permanent residency takes a minimum of 12 years for those with African passports), housing, the calibre of jobs, salaries (one of the highest globally), breadth of industries, universities' ranking and currencies. It is a country that is a replica of heaven. If there is heaven on earth, that is Switzerland. Everything is ELITE. For instance, in the breadth of industries: Switzerland dominates in luxury goods, especially watches and jewellery, commodity trading (pays one of the highest salaries in the world with extremely humongous bonuses. Only the oil industry comes close. Tech no reach o. That tells you the nature of the industry. Only the hedge fund and quant trading industries pay higher than the industry. By earnings, I mean salaries and bonuses. Then you have private banking. Although, this is now competitively fought for by its Asian counterparts - Singapore and Hong Kong.

Someone mentioned up there that Hong Kong is expensive, which is true, but only in housing. Singapore, too is also costly, especially in housing and owning a car. However, they benefit from being surrounded by Mainland China and Southeast Asian countries. As a result, food isn't so expensive provided you eat like the locals. Also, salaries aren't too high ACROSS ALL industries because of abundant labour from the Philippines, Indonesia and the like. That is where Switzerland beats them and creates the heaven-like environment such that a cashier at McDonald's or a watch apprentice earns very comfortably by world's standard. Also, this is protected by the tight immigration policies which unlike Hong Kong and Singapore are lenient in certain industries. Hong Kong and Singapore, especially the latter, protect skilled jobs from outsiders. Swizterland protects all. The folks who can easily or "quickly" break into the Swiss labour market are EU citizens or non-EU professionals with many years of cognate and quality experience.

There you have it. Enjoy heaven while on earth!

I understand your annoyance with how OP crafted his post. However, the reality is that someone with an open mind who leaves Nigeria to live for a short period of time in developed countries or places where the system works would be angry with the state of Nigeria. Nevertheless, that is not necessarily a place to "curse" Nigeria, but ponder why our case is different. I say this because as much as Switzerland is highly developed, black people don't have an equivalent. Chinese do, so do the Japanese and Koreans. Even Arabs now do in the place of Dubai.

That should be the focal point: how come others have a functioning enclave of theirs, but we don't?

P.S. Enclave should have at least 5 million residents before someone mentions Botswana and Barbados to me. 🙄

Outing with my gees yesterday. The weather no be here at all.

Modified: Business and more enjoyment is calling, so I'll be leaving for Germany today.😁 Already booked my flight yesterday. It was a very great experience for me, here in Switzerland. I can say that it's among my top three favorites so far.

I won't be surprised if one of his relatives is milking the country at present

Switzerland Beautiful Country ... Nigeria Beautiful Country just ignore the people daba-ruling things..

We dey buy 40 bottles pack of water for $4 here at Costco

I can only visit Switzerland during summer.

You ruined your beautiful write-up with your distasteful description of Nigeria. Please do better next time. Your father's businesses that thrived in the same Nigeria is the reason you can afford the globetrotting you are currently enjoying.

I love to learn new languages but find myself struggling at it. Please what techniques of faster learning can you suggest when learning new languages?

You're very stupid for calling Nigeria a sh*thole..

Nigeria is the country that provided your dad with the funds and education to give you the life you have today without Nigeria you would never have the life you are living now

Dey no get Tap water ?




Bottle water is expensive in most countries but their tap water is good for drinking

If you just see people wey T-PAIN government dey really deal with, you will know by their statement alone.

Why should this write up be an issue for anyone?


,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You only made such conclusions cos you have not reside in those countries. I grow up in Bariga and I used to live in Chicago for a while. Exclude downtown Chicago and Northside area, Bariga/Akoko will rival Chicago for real. Most inner cities of Amaerica are in deplorable state but the media will never show that.
