My father's junior brother was deported from their 2yrs ago Already he was warned

Thanks for the info.

I’m from Addis Abeba.

Standard of living is low for majority Ethiopians because of poverty but if you have money then you can live a good life.

Crime rate in Addis Ababa is low meaning excluding small crime like pocket theft, big crimes like killing and raping is rare. In other parts of the country some parts have low crime and some aren’t.

About our currency, $1 is 27 Birr.

Whao'!!!! Thanks a bunch ! How about getting a job be it teaching or any other jobs....: also hospitality towards foreigner esp nigerians.

[quote author=Larrycool1234 post=70939124][/quote]
Generally jobs opportunity in the country is scarce but I heard teaching, marketing and accounting are relatively among the ones easy to get.

About hospitality, I read majority foreigners find it good. I don’t specifically know about Nigerians but in the area I live I see Africans and they seems fine with the locals. Don’t take the advice of the first commenter seriously when he said don’t go there. Yes there are some problems but few unfriendly locals don’t represent the whole population.

It may be hard for you to get along with us but we could be friendly.

And remember we have a new leader now, there is freedom of speech and things are going well now. But as an advice, before you mention something to someone make sure you are saying the right thing next time

Am from Ethiopia too,

Here's some info

Don't expect the same crime rate in Ethiopia (if you are from Nigeria)., it is so much better here.

As I've observed, teaching is better in Ethiopia as a foreigner because that is a job easily found. (especially for foreigners). For example, the school where I learnt had a Ugandan and Indian Principal and also Rwandan, British and Canadian teachers.

The country remained unstable for like 3 years, even though things are going well now., I recommend you to stay in Addis Ababa because it is the safest.


Ethiopians aren't friendly as other Africans are but once you get to know us, it'll be cool. But you need patience.

To be honest, many Ethiopians don't talk about it but Ethiopians don't get along with foreigners easily, it will take them long. I've had a foreign friend at school and my Ethiopian friends didn't talk to her much. I was the one who was close to her because I knew how it feels. Those Ethiopians aren't bad at all, (I know them for more than 5 years). They don't spend so much time with her because they want to communicate in Amharic. That is all. But this may seem that they were doing it on purpose.


If you come here, you will see Ethiopians standing around the corner staring at you not saying anything. But don't get shocked (it's a language prob) not anything that is making them act this way. And sometimes Ethiopians aren't friendly to new things




Water, transportation and Electricity is very cheap

But Network is a real problem here

You know am saying the ryt thing
Else you just changed

I read taxi drivers use landmarks instead of addresses because Ethiopia wasnt a planned city.

Network is poor because of closed market.

That's one hell of place.

The taxis are grouped into two. While the one group use landmarks as you said, the other one use address and is relatively expensive than the former.

How about the way Ethiopians treat you?

I just wanna know

How people treat people is not universal. Some people are naturally born dicck heads and you wouldn't expect much from them. And the kind of energy you pull around people, or how you treat them is the same way they treat you. I know a lot of Nigerians go to a place with the mentality that everyone should be nice to them and when this isn't the case, they tend to label that place racist. You owe no one anything and no one owes you a damn thing. "TREAT" is something people give when you have something in common or some of connection. In essence, no one really gives a fucck about you.

Okay, I get you. But the words you are using are difficult
