Haven't made my decision yet but here are the four countries on my list:

U.S
Canada
Ireland
Germany

Lol. Lemme give you hints on mine.

US isn't on my list.

Canada isn't on my list. They deny 70% of Nigerians students visa, I can't risk it. Same with USA.

Ireland isn't on my list sef. There is no black race dominance over there and the universities tuitions is kinda high.


Germany is on my list because of the high level of employment for their labour force and their free tuition Universities.

But Last Last na France dey my mind. A good number of blacks are there, the employment rate is high, tuition free universities too, not all though. Some Nigerians there are even illegal immigrants and they haven't been deported. And French seems like a cool language to learn. Lastly a good number of Nigerians are business owners there too.

After you come out of poverty through prayer, you're hopeful that you dont become poor again or be there and be killed by your wealth.

Thanks, this is very funny, how can I live in that balcony if I have fear of height.

You all know the LSDPC estate, those government estates, the stairs at the back has a windy, that has a spiral architecture. I visited my friend in the 4th floor when I was in primary school, it was scary as hell then.

Wow. Man, shit is real though. Lol.

I'd be very careful about the words I use lately oh. This is really astonishing honestly. Chai.
Good good,
We are trying to adjust.
It's not easy at all.
It's very good you brought this up.

Make person no enter prison for an harmless word. E shock me die mehn.
I was shocked when I was taught in the Health training that when someone is falling, we should clear space and let them fall properly.
I was like Nooooooo, I'm a human being, I cant let that happen.
They said the person that is falling is safe. Because the body prepares it by relaxing the muscles. Its different when chewing gum falls on the ground and when a bottle falls. When you try to help the fainting person, you might lose your balance, contract your muscles, and fall hard. In the end, the good samaritan Carries last.

Them too, they're adjusting to us. They dont sing Black black black sheep song here in primary school
Its offensive to my colour. How can the colour of my skin that I didnt choose be synonymous with evil and rebellion. And light with goodness.

If I see those graphics in my children church today, I'll shred them to pieces, some of them were offensive, I remembered that one of the caricatures of the Devil, had a similar colour to mine. I was wondering cheesy sha. Then jesus had long hair, pointed nose and tiny lips. My lips are full, I know how whites have complimented me on it. Plus white ladies do alot to achieve it, with injection and all.

If I woke up with a yellow skin, I'll be horrified, I'm proud of my skin and my hair. I used to relax my hair just to comb it, after combing, lots of my hair will fall out. I just concluded that combs wasnt meant for the African hair. I love my locs just the way it is. I've spotted whites with locs and I was surprised, their hair didnt lock properly cos it's not meant for them fully. I've spotted irish with extreme tan to achieve the black skin, and they look dramatic with pointed nose, straight hair and a not-so-natural darker skin.

Just as they adjusted to us, we also have to adjust to them. Ireland open its borders just 30yrs ago, they are not there yet, compared to other countries, but they are doing well. The court won't be nice to any Racist Irish. I'm at liberty to call the Guards on anyone, Employees, Employers, boss that makes a Racist comment. No one want to have it in their records that they were racist.

I'm trying to be like a Chicken, raise one leg and observe before making a move.

Verbal abuse is actually a crime in Germany.

Smartest context I've read today. I like the part you outlined how you dreaded your hair compared to relaxing and combing it.

Our black hair is kinky in nature and tends to curl and tangle more. It's weird when I see my fellow blacks struggling with combing their hair. I don't even use a comb anymore. I go on rough curls, I nor send.

The reason why I'm a bit skeptical about Ireland, is because of the white race dominance over there. Any country that has way too may whites and few blacks, there would always be slight racist remarks, you just can't help it.

Even the so-called nice Canadians are racist too. It's very normal. They'd diss you for having a heavy African accent.

Just don't use abusive or sexual provocative words, and I think you'd be find. But still nor dull.

Thank you very much

I know a lot of criticism I'll get if I go back to my church in Nigeria, its really a terrible situation. Christian religion hasnt helped the black race much. Fine, I can say that it took away the ills of the practices of our traditional culture. But we need to form our religion and abide by it. I really love the black panther movie, we saw a beautiful mix of tradition and technology.

About the hair, while I was waiting for my visa and was at home without combing, my hair locked for about three months. As I wasnt looking for jobs again and attending those nerve racking interviews, I stopped combing.

Interviews in Nigeria is like going for exam. I dont like the feeling I get at all. When you're on your way, you'll surely spot one fella in the bus that's heading there and by the time youre there, you'll see crowds. From the ones pressing phones to the one reading as if they missed some topics in exam, to the ones who came with their friends and they wont keep quiet.
All the interviews I went in Nigeria, I passed all and wasnt employed, except for one, that was weekemd teaching.

Never got any rude remarks from the Irish, my experience at the warehouse wasnt very nice but it wasnt negative, when I broke a serious rule in the warehouse, a white male, not sure of the country just ordered me to go out and correct myself. The warehouse conditions was by far better than what I saw when I worked for two months in the warehouse of a popular Online store in Nigeria. I wont say the name. Just because I came 5 min late, I wasnt paid for the week, look at that sort of abuse.
If I did the same mistake in the care industry, theyll correct in a more softer way.

I've had three interviews in this country, when I got to the venue, I was the only one that was to be interviewed, I passed them all, I was refused for one because of the distance, I rejected the rest because I wasnt satisfied.
If I didnt have an interview experience in Nigeria, I would have been neutral. I really pity folks in Nigeria who have to put up with that.
Big brother naija, the crowd was something else. Lol
I must say I feel happy about attending interviews here because I know I'm not seeing multitudes of people and I know that the odds are not against me.

About their women, den no dey look you, the people around them will discourage them actually and might stigmatize them. That babe that is honest to you, dont cut off from them. Also beware of those ones that don't give you face in Nigeria and start to hype you when you cross over, they might use you as a bridge.
