Nonsense. Heart attack takes less than 10mins to kill. No emergency services will get to u in Naija. Do you also have fire service station in ur house.
Btw, covid19 grounded and killed GMB cabals with bigger connect and pocket...Naija has less than 100 ventilators ��

Craze and ignorance they worry you, heart disease kills 600,000 Americans yearly. They have lost almost a million souls to covid, why didn't their ventilators save them.

I was speaking of France

Some french understand English. Except you went to the remote or less desirable places in France.
Also, your demeanor, and appearance sometimes pose a barrier.

I’m glad you said some. If you don’t come across those few people who speak, you need to use google translate. Most of the government administrative offices can’t help you if you don’t speak French. You’re forced to always go with a friend who speaks French and English. Those days I used to go with my Cameroonian friends. Or you’re force to use a translation app. Those days were hard. But I thank God for growth. Now I can express myself comfortably in French and be understood. I also understand when people talk as well.

Apart from the Cold that Nearly killed me During my first Winter, I quickly adapted to Every other Thing.

But the food for here na nonsense. I miss Banga soup.



Hahaha, I'm from Ondo state, but I grew up in Delta so I know the soup wellla,,,,

No wonder

SeriouslySense:
I watch western movies, so the culture shock is minimal, plus, i have adapted in terms food.

I enjoy outside Nigeria, they never take light away, you can walk outside at night, i dont have the criminal mindsets of Nigeria, i dont want to rape or steal or kidnap No No.

Best things, is that there is order, the bus always comes on time, and the people driving cars are no mad, they respect the traffic rules and pedestrians.

Outside Nigeria, you don't fight for water, electricity, good roads, access to information, its at your finger tips.

For those with good pans, you will reap the fruits of your labor without needing to know someone or going to Babalawo/ mamalawo.

Success takes some time, but once you know you are building yourself up, it will come eventually with consistency and focus even with little steps all the time.

But what i miss about Nigeria is family, extended family and food.

If i can remove those two things, there is nothing in Nigeria to miss.

I just wonder, how we were turned into animals in Nigeria. Could be over population, and other factors probably.

Overpopulation has not posed any issue to any reasonable country. China the most populous country made regulations on population because they were over 1.3 billion! And they didn't have any idea on how to leverage it well.
And Nigeria is no even up to 250 million yet, not to talk of 300 million!
You can see how well USA used its large population as a big advantage.

The other factors are mostly the problem if corruption is the major part.

It is nice that you made such language developments.
May I ask what proceses did you use in the acquisition of the language?
Some french do know English, but blind patriotism and subtle racism mixed with some elements of xenophobia would make them feint ignorance of English, so do the Germans.

Whatever is the reason the French don’t like to speak English doesn’t matter to me. The good thing was that it forced me to learn the language. I also think language is a vital part of culture. They need to speak it to preserve it whether anyone likes it or not.

I used lots of resources
1. I went to a church that spoke only in French. I didn’t go to Nigerian church because they spoke in French and translated in English. I needed to hear just French.
2. I joined language clubs on Facebook. We go to a bar and just speak. We talk over a glass of beer. That way I got to meet with locals and was hearing French even more
3. I moved into a residence were I shared kitchen with other. I stayed in this residence for a while and honestly, it helped a lot because I spoke with others who spoke fluent French
4. I had 2 hours French class every week
5. I got a job in a restaurant. This job helped me improve my French drastically
6. I just listened to French. I practiced French on my own for at least one hour everyday

Funny thing now is that I have relaxed and don’t even bother anymore because I pick up new words and expressions very fast. I’m literally surrounded by French speaking people everyday. I only speak English when I’m speaking with my friends and family from Nigeria. If not, I’m speaking French.

Agreed.

Rich men in America also dies.

Car crashes, gun violence, fire disaster, you name it.

I didn’t even rule out death in my post, I clearly stated “I die here….”

Consolation for the poor. GMB lives in the UK because of the health system. Tinubu depends on US/UK to live.
Osibanjo’s 80% of investments are in $£.abroad.
Aisha Buhari lives in Dubai. Atiku has businesses in Dubai, UK and US.
Peter Obi has business and investments in abroad. Your wealth not fit build meguard house for these inndividuals who dont trust Naija.
Dont worrry about dying.. cos it’s appointed unto average Naija to die in their 50s.. just chilax Naija is happening to u..

The UK, Tottenham precisely, If You're scared of cold, winter will definitely be a tough period for you, there are special clothings specifically for winter period, heaters are installed to keep the house warm, The food is still a big problem for me. As to how I adjusted quickly, I stayed with my cousin for the first few months and he basically put me through the system.

I'm not going to lie to you, the first few months will really stress you out. If you have any other questions, I'll be glad to answer

Wow, thanks for your prompt response. Am rounding up my level 3 diploma in health and social care. Am in my 150 hours clinical after which am done. With Ukraine people there, do you think it will be easy getting care jobs with Cos?

I wear my sweater, and try not to expose my body to cold, always have vitamin c, Panadol incase i notice flu, exercise also helps me, and due to the lack of sunlight, and darker skin, its harder to get enough vitamin d from the sunlight, so i make sure to take fish, to get vitamin d which also helps in synthesizing calcium sources for stronger bones.

Winter is tough, but by taking the necessary precaution, such as having sweater, or jackets, drinking hot fluid, using the indoor heater moderately, exercising, keeping some medicines at home, and getting enough vitamin d, one is able to boost the toughness of the body and mental balance.

Firstly getting a job isn't easy, I see a lot of Nigerians here doing menial jobs such as Driving, Security guards and so on, But also there are a lot of Nigerians working as professionals, so anything is possible. While the influx of Ukrainians might have an impact in getting some kind of Jobs, You still stand a chance of getting whatsoever job you want as long as you know what you're doing. Let me be honest with you, I'm not going to raise your Hopes up by saying getting a job is easy since you're a professional, but also I won't drag your chances down by saying it's hard and blah blah blah, because anything is possible. What I'll just say to you is try your best to be very good at whatever you're doing, and leave the rest for God

I was in France some months ago, and I had to leave quickly because of the Language barrier, for some reason best known to them, they hate speaking English. I japa leave them abeg, although I wasn't planning on staying there, but the language barrier made my stay even shorter. In the UK you'll see them trying to impress you with their heavy accented English, but in their home town, reverse is the case, Don't get me wrong I'm not generalizing, but the French people like wahala abeg

Winters23:
Nothing sweet pass being a rich and wealthy man in Lagos or any other part of Nigeria.

It's only poor people that denigrate this great country and they think going abroad is a sure escape route from poverty...

I basically own and control the police station in my locality, the OC debriefs me regularly on security situation in my area.

I have white people work for me from all around the globe and they get paid as at when due.

I can't even count how many duplexes and mansions that I own.

I travel to any country without visa because I have countless CBI passports.

I live like a king and general even as a fvcking civilian.

The only social media I use is nairaland and I am a ghost on other social networks.

I love my country Nigeria, I die here!

So why do you need police escort? Everybody cannot be super rich, but if the system is working here, 80% of the population can just be comfortable
