Travel / Re: Life In Various Foreign Countries: From My Experience by wishlolia(f): 10:08pm On Jul 24, 2012
Sapele_Don: @Vicjustice thanks for your write up and contrary to what a lot of detractors have written about what i will call your personal travel experience,you basically have hit the nail on the head.

First,and this very important and that is anybody travelling abroad should travel on legitimate papers and in doing this save yourself the hassle of getting the rough treatments from the host country(immigration/police/job discrimination)but sometimes,even with your legitimate papers you still get hostile reception from the locals who in most cases are not happy that most of the lucrative jobs are taken by those considered to be "foreigners" and this is mostly common in the non English speaking European countries and that is why i will never advice anybody to travel to a country where LANGUAGE is a barrier.

I say this as you have to start basically from the scratch I.E learn their language(s) and ways to be fully accepted and integrated into their society.

Comfortability/condition of living in a foreign is subject to different interpretations by different interpretees but the bottom line is no matter how comfortable or integrated one is a foreign land,there is that secret yearnings in the most inner recesses of our minds that we wish we were back home(Nigeria)surrounded by our loved ones,in a familiar terrain and with people with same culture and so this tells me that there is no place like home.

I have read a lot of the commentaries here and find some really educative,others bordered on tribal sentiments,some outrightly funny and some just plainly ignorant as people find it hard to accept the truth and the harsh day to day reality of life Nigerian's in the diaspora face.

@Vicjustice there is a saying in the Eastern part of Nigeria(i am from Sapele Delta State before the tribal Warlords start finding faults in my quote)which goes thus TRAVELLING IS PART OF EDUCATION and for that i take you as an enlightened man.

Let me start from the UK where i did my Post-Graduate study and worked some years ago. I still think the UK is the most diificult place to live in as a Nigerian in Europe for one simple reason and that is the OVER POPULATION OF NIGERIAN'S there and this has its UPS and DOWN side. It is very difficult to see Nigerian's in the UK not sharing a flat,most two bedrooms have 3 families living in it(the living room is converted into a living quarter),especially those living in London as it too expensive to get one to yourself and the toilet cleaning and kitchen sharing arrangement?simply pathetic. Accomodations are a little cheaper for those living in cities outside london but the UK still have one of the most draconian tax system in the world and i think the only thing you don't get taxed for is for going to the toilet.

This guys tax you for having a TV(tv licence),you pay congestion charges for driving through some parts of the city,cant park your car anywhere and most annoying is it is difficult getting a good job there no matter how educated you are so most educated Nigerian's there have taken to HUSTLING(Yahoo/Drugs),cleaning of toilets(KPEKE and this is mostly done by illegal immigrants),Security Guards(my friend who has two Masters Degree from the UK does that now for lack of a Job and the hours/shifts he gets barely sustains him). Far in between you run across Nigerian's who have their own business and doing well or those with good jobs but it is not common anymore.

Life in the United Kingdom could best be termed a FACE-ME-I FACE-YOU life.

@ineh, France is cool and Paris is fun and i use to joke with a friend of mine that Paris is the only place in Europe i will sleep outdoors with my two eyes closed in the street as an African. It is a very common sight in the night to see blacks sleeping in front of all the shops when they are closed for lack of where to sleep. The difference between France and the UK is that you find much of people from the Francophone African countries than the Anglophone countries there and there are hundreds of this African's LITERARILY sleeping in NYLON TENTS somewhere between Gare du Nord and the Airport in Paris(whenever i visit Paris and taking the train to the town center from the Airport i see them from the train window)one day i curiously asked the hotel porter why the French Govt dont take drastic action against them and his reply to me was THAT IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO DEPORT THEM,AND MOST OF THEM ARE IN PARIS TRYING TO GET TO THE UK through the Eurostar Train and after they get tired from lack of Job in Paris or do not succeed in crossing over to the UK,they usually go to some other European countries. There are no Jobs in France and strange as this may sound i usually don't run into Nigerian's there a lot as the few who usually get the French Visa usually proceed from there to Spain,italy,Germany and those other Schengen countries.

@proo212,Germany is not racist?are you joking?if Germany is not Racist then i am Baba Suwe.

Germany is the most racist place on this EARTH and i should know better as my job takes me to Germany (in the Hamburg area)sometimes and i can go on to give you a million instances but for lack of time i will copy and paste my last experiences from another write up i put in on Nairaland some weeks ago at the Frankfurt Airport.

*Two Saturdays ago, on my way back from Nigeria(Lufthansa)i did the transit thing in Germany to and fro from the States and this was my first time flying through Frankfurt as i usually go straight to Nigeria. Immediately i got off the transit bus into the building i was stopped by this German Custom guy who asked for my Passport, i brought out my passport and gave it to him. Next question was where are you going to?i said the US and his next question was how long did you stay in Nigeria and i replied one week. Next question what do you do? and so i am thinking this is getting interesting.

Next question?how did you become an American Citizen?and i asked him are you serious?and his answer yes and my reply to him is you are not serious.


Ordinarily if this questions were to arise at all it will be if i am entering Germany and have to go through their immigration and custom, but by law somebody transiting and in the transit hall is assumed by law not to be in the country he or she is transiting from but maybe this guy dont know that but about educating him soon.

Anyway, i told him vaguely what i did without going into details and still this guy was delaying me from catching my flight and it was not until he asked me how much i had for spending in the US that i knew this guy was out for trouble. First Sir, i am carrying an American passport which does not call for that question. Two, you are delaying me from catching my flight and Three i need to use the rest room real quick but still he was holding on to my passport and his body language was all set for trouble and so he called two other guys,me and three of them in an empty hall way.

It was at that point i brought out my ID which identified me and the nature of my job in the US(I work for the US Govt mildly put something bordering on National Security)and requested to speak to their supervisor,and this was where the fears came into their eyes as they thought this was another Nigerian guy holding a foreign passport they could push around but are now seeing they might be starting something with the US and German Govt which might spell trouble for them.

I am telling you this so that you will know this guys did not care about my US PASSPORT as they were hell bent on delaying and pushing me around for no reason and i will bet you my next tax returns that a White man holding the same American Passport i am holding will not be delayed and asked how much he has to spend in the US and how he became an American Citizen,really?.

It was while using the rest room that it hit me i got that treatment because i am a Nigerian and that is why i filed a formal complaint there and in the US when i got back.

If you are a Nigerian holding any foreign passport and still have an accent 5 out of 10 times you get the rough treatment at most port of entry in the world and i should know because i travel a lot*


@kood i find your story unbelieveable that there are American's living and working in Europe illegally and the first thing that came to my mind was that if there is such PERSON then he must be running away from the LAW in the United States.

American's are not that rich but an average American who can afford a ticket to Europe usually lives a moderate life and will prefer living in the United States and will only go out if it is a legitimate job related and even the Jobless one's will prefer living in the US and be getting their Jobless/Welfare check every friday than going to another man's land to hide from the law,and there is one thing American's have which a lot of others lack and that is PRIDE and will not descent so low as to hiding in other countries. It is just simply UN-AMERICAN.

Canada is okay.

My best advice for people wanting to live outside Nigeria should first try the United States and if it does not work then should try Canada,though life is not ROSY in this two countries but it is far far better than anywhere in the DIASPORA.

Vicjustice:

   Maybe TRUE, i don't love rice so much and i can do without.
   But why does this site have so many unnecessary and unreasonable censored words?
   I do understand that some bad language words should be censored for disciplinary reasons, but words that are politically or morally correct should have been allowed: Such words including; GA'Y, SE'X, HOM'OSEXUAL, PEN'IS, VAG'INAL, RA'PE, LESB'IAN are all decent words that politically, decently medically, religiously, morally and socially correct; compared to the bad language words like: F***,  S*IT,  NIG**R,  A*S,  BAST**D,  D*MN, etc
   Now, the prohibition to use the word SE'X (and replacing it with "Intimacy"wink in a section named "[b]SEX[/b]uality" is unreasonable; in other word, to have a section named SEXUALITY and yet forbidden to use the word SEX in it is silly: TRUE or FALSE?
True, i agree with this post.
Most men think they are great in bed and brag about it. True of False?
