That was how they warned someone i know back then about Syria.

Better look for another country. Russia will soon start pummeling Turkey or create a rebel group to do that for them.

Yeah, you can get a permit. If you rent an apartment for a year/two or you get a sponsor to file for you-if that's your question.
Now consult other threads about Life in Turkey.

If you have the money to rent an apartment for a year or two- about 6000$+ depending on the kind of apt, that can facilitate the processing of a resident permit because you signed a tenant contact for a certain duration.
your sponsor is who files for you on this occasion, e.g your Job, your host, your school, your club(if you are a footballer) , your brothel (if you are a love-vendor)... do you understand?
Now consult other threads please

First, language will be a major problem that will limit many things for you in Turkey. Depends on the region of Turkey you will be living, some see many blacks as footballer and they will mostly ask you where you come from. If you say Nigeria, they will immediately say Okocha...Many of the locals dont know the difference between Nigeria and Africa, they mostly thought/think Africa is a country where black people live. Some even think Lagos is the only place in Nigeria, while others think Lagos and Nigeria are two countries.

Most popular cities you will find Nigerian are Istanbul, Ankara, Marmara and Izmir!

Living expenses is relatively lower as compared to many European countries, Americas and some Asian countries but sensibly higher than almost all African countries. For instance, a plate of normal food may range between 800 to 3000 naira and a 50 cent litre water goes between 80 to 150 naira depends on brand and location within Turkey. Decent room will range 25k to 50K naira per month excluding bills and with residence card you can easily get cheap payment option for metro and trains.

Wages is lower compared to many European countries but commensurate with the living Expense in Turkey generally. Casual jobs (construction, restaurants, loader, farms etc) pay between 2500 to 4500 naira per day ( these are extremely hard labour and in some cases would require a work permit), while some teaching jobs like those in teaching centers, normal workers in bank, telecom and other organization earn much higher but may require you to have sufficient language knowledge and skills in these region. If you have permanent job teaching in university in Turkey, the wages is quite good and you can apply for Turkish blue passport that allows visa free travel to European and Schengen countries. The normal passport is Red which requires visa to some European and Schengen countries but permanent academics do have access to get blue passport which is visa free to those mentioned earlier. To be employed as permanent Academics, you must in most cases have earned PhD in any field...

Residency Permit types:, there are various permit and note that residence permit does not allow working rights, you must obtain work permit to be considered legal and suitable to work. The work permit application are mostly submitted by the employer on behalf of the employee and you will undergo some medical test and present some credentials. To live legally in Turkey, you have to apply for either short-term residence (up to 1yr), student, family or Long-term residence permit. Each has its own requirements that needs to be met.

In your own case, you may apply for short-term residence permit and must be able to show financial means for the duration you want to apply for, proof of accommodation and be able to convince or show reason why you want to obtain the residence permit. If you decide to enroll into a university or study center, those will provide you student letter and makes the application easier. These applications can be done manually or via online system.

Racism yeah it happens all places and common in countries that their official language is different from yours and in most culture-enshrined and superstitious countries and environments. Racism comes in different forms and scale, you may have to live with it, understand it, proffer solution to it or let go. For instance, lots of Nigerian are racist as some Fulani will kill Igbo cos of cow, some Igbo will not want their daughter or son marry Yoruba cos of Amala and even some Yoruba wont allow marriage of a guy from Kwara to Ijebu due to witch-hunting and some Middle belt people wont eat your food cos you are Muslim while some Igbos wont hug you cos you are not Catholic christian. These may sound like tribal/ethnic stuffs but they are form of racism. So, in Turkey some will hate you cos of your skin, some cos your brother already duped one person or because you speak English and they cant understand. It happens in England, Russia and America as well....so learn to deal with it since it happens in South Africa and Nigeria also.

Hustling (as you termed it) in Turkey, may be difficult if you dont have money for business, rents, legal residence, basic communication skills etc. Cos since wages are low, you may only earn little that can take care of your daily needs. Other things people do their are fraud, drugs and scams; these ones are quick to send you to jail and enhance your death.

He can go to Turkey anytime he wants for tourism, studies or business legally. My main concern is going there Illegally will put him into various risks and when he cant survive he may turn into usable elements (Like scams, frauds, drug pusher or extremist). Turkey is a great country and provides good educational support for academics and business-oriented persons. I know Turkey quite well not just as traveler but as person with ties in Turkey.

Op,
My advise for you is that either you go to Turkey to further your education or for legal business or Tourism. A frequent business visit to Turkey will open your eyes to many opportunities and that can give you chances to residency. For business, try to know what sorts of business you want to do and how much will be enough for you to do that before you embark in your journey. As far as my brain can tell, you can only start meaningful biz with around 5000USD upward.

Best wishes!

That's not true. There are a lot of construction jobs in Turkey for unkilled/part-time. My problem is that those construction work pays 50TL/day which is 50*69(curent exchange rate) = #3450. Where as in Nigeria, you may also get construction job with similar payment.
