Obviously I know a good number of Nigerians are in Russia already. But one thing I've realized is that most Nigerians don't add Russia to their country of preference compared to UK, Canada and Germany.

Some would even prefer to start up with smaller countries like Estonia. I hope you all know Russia is the cheapest European country you could move to.

When I'm on Instagram and I view pages of Africans in Russia, Nigerians are always the least.

Why isn't anyone talking about Russia, is it because of their low cost of living or currency. Because 1 Russian ruble is 5 naira.

It would cost you just 2.5 million to move to Russia and study compared to a good number of European countries. And don't come here telling me about racism bullshit, it's actually safe in Russia lately, watch some YouTube videos and see for yourself.

Housing there is actually very cheap too, I know a girl who pays just a 100 dollars per year for her apartment.

Russia is one country that has the biggest landmass on Earth. So many European countries are small, buying land properties would be expensive and won't be easy neither. Nigeria is 3 times bigger than UK.

It's annoying when I see Nigerians on Nairaland who have just 2million naira, when people tell them their money is too small. You only need 4000 US dollars in your account as proof of funds to move to Russia.

I'm not an agent so don't think I need your money, I got all my information through research on Russian study platforms. Go on Instagram and check out Africans in Russia.

I would stop here, so I don't talk down on other European countries before the mods come for me.

Hammyaladin:

Go there and confirm yourself before you spread hearsay all over the forum.


I love to see things for myself and not depend on filtered information. Thanks.

Arizonaz:
Please what's the best route to travel to Russia.

James4bright:


Lol. Some folks would come out here and tell you how America is the most racist country on earth. I've seen folks who said Poland is a very racist country and I've also seen folks who said nice things about Poland.

Focus on views from the majority and not just one person. Like I said, go on YouTube and watch videos about blacks in Russia talking about Russia.

So many countries got their flaws. I saw a video on Facebook where three white guys were beating up a black guy in Germany. But so many black folks still live in Germany peacefully.

SenecaTheYonger:
Because of America's propaganda. Do you even know how brainwash the avg Nigerian is by US media? Lol



All my life i've always thought Russia was impossible to live in as a Black.

lilvicky68:

It takes a mad person to identify his comrade in madness!!

Heat is the reason why Africa is where it is today! Lack of harsh environmental conditions made Africans sleep!!

So guy, heat better pass Cold

Kinematics:
[b]My take is this


1. Russia doesn't have reputable name in the minds of Nigerians. This is borne from the negative way Western media has painted Russia.
Our media is soaked with news and propaganda from English media like CNN, BBC etc. Even in American movies if there is a Russian he is painted as the bad guy.

2. Russia is not entirely an open country, also they don't operate an imperialist system as compared to the west.

3. Russia is not a good destination for black race(yes I said so, been there done that). Racism is worse in Eastern Europe than anywhere else in the world.

4. Job opportunities are not much in Russia or Eastern Europe compared to western Europe or America.

5. Russia is too cold, I know some will say Canada is cold as well however Canada benefits from its proximity to USA.

6. English language. Russia is not an English speaking country.

7. Russia is not an EU country and is not planning to be.

There are many more, but truth be told Russia has bigger cities than countries in Western Europe. Even UK dey learn work.[/b]

Cybercop2002:
i respect you for this answer every country have bitch in dem just like naija but there are still thousand of nigeria cummunity there there are 4 black politician in poland 3 are nigerians google nigeria descent in every country

Gerrard59:


Finally, the Russian economy isn't that big enough to provide well paid jobs and apart from crude oil, she's practically a nobody in global economics. Better South Korea, Brazil or Mexico than Russia.

AFONJACOW:
So with 40,000 dollars I will live comfortably in Russia

HRprof:
I recently got a volunteering opportunity in Russia with accommodation and feeding for 3 months, but embassy is not open for visa application for now and i have received all the necessary documents from organization. The programme commenced by May. Do anyone have an idea when the embassy will open?

Funkybabee:
I think speaking of their language is the problem
