E be like say I fit don see scope for guys o

When I first moved into my apartment, I went out to get some food ingredients and I saw some very pretty girls but I couldn't go and talk to them. I have a Nigerian friend in santiago and he said talking to girls on the street can get you into prison. I later discovered this was a lie as I did it later on but I kept on regretting on not talking to those girls I saw cause they were very pretty and I kinda felt they weren't Chileans or from around here. Anyway, two weeks back I was getting back from church and met some missionaries from the church of latter day saints. I go to catholic here but I really don't care. Church here is an ear training exercise for me to really get to understand how Chileans speak cause they speak so fast so any meeting that involves Chileans speaking you can be rest assured I will be there.

Anyway, I gave these two missionaries my number. One was Chilean the other argentine and they kept on bugging my phone with calls and text messages for me to come to their church. Yesterday, while I was at home they called and were like they can come see me to share the message and I was like meh your choice. They came and you won't believe who I saw with them. The two chicks I saw in my first week that I was angry for not being able to go and talk to. Anyway we started talking and both girls are Americans and are here in Chile for missionary work. The rest isn't important to this thread but I did some research and theres a temporary residency visa category for missionaries. Here in Chile after two years on temporary residency regardless of the type you can apply for permanent residency. I am sure we have church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints in Naija for sharp naija boys. It doesn't have to be Chile. According to the American chick, they post people everywhere. If you don't have money for studies or you don't have the skills that can get you a work visa this is something I will definitely be looking at.

Church of Jesus Christ of the latter day saints do send missionaries to other countries.
From My observation, They do send missionaries from other African countries to Nigeria but I have not seen any Nigerian missionary they sent abroad.

If you know any, post it here.

Congratulations. Temuco is pretty cheap to live in compared to Santiago. I sent you a DM. Nice to see people making plans and succeeding while others are abusing. As of when I left Nigeria, a dollar was 750. Now it's 1000 if care isn't taken it will be 1500 and the money I used to move them one will need double of it cry cry cry

True. Chile is a bit expensive to study in but so much cheaper than Europe. Brazil is free and if one has 2 to 3 million that's still accessible. Brazil is also a very good country. Like very good.

Abeg, no dey call me boss. It makes me feel like I am one powerful and rich man, whereas I am an ordinary dude who wears old clothes and is very ugly. I am just fortunate to have middle class parents, and I used the Internet to my advantage to be where I am today.

Nothing special about me, honestly.

Men I wish I lived in santiago. So I have two Nigerian friends in Santiago on a startup visa and they went to an afro party. They apparently met more Nigerians there and those Nigerians were really well to do. One of them a Nigerian woman who has been in Chile since 2012. She has even lost her Nigerian accent and speaks her English like a Chilean who just learnt English. The girl is a senior developer at mercado libre. Mercado libre is the largest online marketplace in latin america here.

You won't see any of this things in my city. Here just be like village grin grin grin

The girl have been living in Santiago for past 11years added to her age one will presume she will be below 25years(why addressing her as a girl). It simply shows u lacking professional docrum. She went there to become a developer and have not decided to migrate to U.S of your dream. Now u wish u lived in Santiago than U.S... If you comot 4 Chile na 9ja be ur end of the tunnel.
