Challenges Of Emmigrating To South Africa

south Africa is okay atleast better than Nigeria,provided he has a means of getting his temporary work permit which will be for a year, i have a brother there who is doing fine.
So he should have enough money for his accomodation and the paper work without these, i will advise him to stay here.

My mum used to live in the US, and has since relocated to Joberg SA to work for an international organization. She swears SA is better than the US and loves the food,weather and standard of living. The Rand is pretty strong, but jobs are hard to come by. Nigerians can do well in SA,but i think you should go with some skills in hand or things might be rough. Make sure you keep to yourself and stay away from illegal $hit.

this particular guy has little or no skills,how can he survive?

Very interesting.  Living in America, all we ever hear about South Africa is AIDS!  One would think that AIDS is airborne in South Africa.

Then of course there's the perception that the country is so violent that people are literally held hostage in their homes after the sun goes down.

However, since the mainstream media NEVER portrays any part of Africa (except ancient Egypt) in a positive light, it would be very insightful to hear about South Africa from South Africans themselves or people who have lived in South Africa before.

Constatin i think you're so passionate abut this issue of nigerian going abroad, but i want you to understand that none of us can change the heart of our leaders because they all hav bad intent we can only put up our little effort. if u carry naija issue 4 head them go kill u throway. who go go tell our leaders say them corrupt or question their deeds. na country when no good make people dey run out, them believe say no matter how bad outside be dey can still see manage. but naija here forget it, those when see garri drink thank God 2 som na June 12. who go c sugar reject am.It is not rossy outside but u never can tell, where is not good 4 Paul can be best for Peter. Wut i just knw is that if anyone feels going outside is best 4 him let him/her do so or remain here and continue to struggle until d day miracle go happen 4ram.men i must confess is not easy,, i must confess!!!

Constantin, you are right. We always seem to run away to cosier places, but we fail to realise that these places like the UK and US (and now Asian countries) were BUILT, they just didn't land on Earth the way we see them today.

The thing is we are so busy looking at what politicians should be doing that we totally miss what we have in our own hands, even if we are not in Nigeria, we can still contribute to the country (not just our own families either), I definately want to look into what I can actually do, we are just helping already developed countries excel, we all know Nigeria can be frustrating, but we tend to miraculously put up with the woes of the western world, just because we adore it so much.


I often wonder why foreigners who come to Nigeria with all its problems can actually make it work for them, whether big or small companies, they put all the indegenes who say Nigeria is nothing to shame, because somehow they are doing what you said can't be done.

Maybe because they invest what they have rather than waiting for a governement of thieves to suddenly turn into saints?




By all means live elsewhere ( and noone can blame you), but criticism alone is just not helping the situation. What is so funny is that when these same thieving politicians come and spend that stolen money in the UK and US etc, we who have run from them (supposedly), don't treat them like criminals, but princes,
