This is just my honest opinion. You can decide to take it or leave it. I know there are people who love it the way it is but before you crucify me, remember I’m only voicing out my experience of living in Australia for the last 13 months.
Melbourne is nothing but a huge disappointment. Run down houses and streets everywhere. The culture of keeping a well kept garden is non existent. An array of ugly old bungalow interspersed with one storied semi modern houses. The cbd looks second world, the suburbs are nothing but disappointing.!

Crime is on the increase. I was personally a victim of crime twice within 6 months of arrival.
When we arrived we lodged at a bnb, in preparation for moving to the house we rented, we bought a lot of household things, vacuum cleaner, plates, towels etc. When we got home that day, we were tired to pack them out of the car so we left them in the boot of the car.
In the morning, everything had disappeared from the boot.
Last week Sunday in church, car was parked outside the church premises. We came out to find the car door open. Apparently, someone had tried to open the door to steal something from the car. The alarm was activated when I switched on the ignition.

Electricity also went off on two occasions. We slept without light on one of those days.

Racial prejudices is high here compared to most countries I have been to. A day hardly passes without racial issues been mentioned in the news. Racial tension everywhere. They still stare at black people as if one is from the moon. This is not so in the whitest of Europe. My kid is enrolled in a school where he’s the only black kid. We make a scene each time I drop him of or pick him up.
The Sudanese community isn’t making matters easy. Even though there are criminal elements amongst them, the media over reports and sensationalize crimes committed by black people. This does not help Africans as everyone is viewed as criminals and racially profiled. Let me give you two instances: I went to buy a loaf of bread one night at around 19:00 at a filling station. The attendant refused to open the door. He only opened it when another white customer guy joined me there.

Quality of life isn’t fantastic as reported in the media. Internet is as slow as snail. Australia has the slowest internet amongst the first world countries. Malls close at 5:00pm. Limited consumer choice. I couldn’t get blue shoe spray polish to buy anywhere!
Most people are renting. Buying a house will take forever as the cost of deposit is often unaffordable for most people. Most people I have met live in shared apartments. It’s really disturbing to find people, (I mean Australians);
who have been working for 15 years in Australia living in shared apartments. They cannot afford to rent a whole house talk less of buying one. Most livable city in the world? That’s laughable

I don’t want to talk about getting your first job. It’s a huge challenge.

The whole skilled immigration is a huge revenue generating business for the Australian government. You won’t realize this until you get here. The beautiful index and statistics issued by world organizations are oftentimes manipulated to their economic benefits. It is a smokescreen that keeps their tourism industry alive. These are countries that understand the importance of PR. They say beautiful things about their countries and encourage people to come and stay by reeling out doctored stats and enhanced images of their countries. It is no secret that immigration business in the so called first world countries is a multi billion dollar industry.

To all those who are planning to come here, if you have the money, do an LSD trip first and then decide if you want to stay.

Cheers guys!

it would do us good if you cam post as many pictures of those rundown places. and all you've said. let start from there. maybe we can start seeing Nigeria as a paradise buhari has built.

Bro with all this things and you are still in Australia with your family. Are you saying there is no good aspect of the said country you are talking about.

All countries in the universe have their own flaws. But you know why, you only look at the merits and de-merits or if you like the benefits of such country.
I believe that the merits of residing in Australia outways the de-merits.
Mind you, Australia began experiencing a high number of black race in their country in the last ten years and as such you don't expect the country to be populated by blacks, but gradually is happening with high influx of black race through education, business and family re-union.

Their is no country without an atom of racism. You can talk about your country, what is happening?.. is every thing alright with them.
Bro! Ignore those niggas and focus.
Even America of all country, are they free of racism?..

Be focus bro!!. Goodluck in your life endeavor.

You will never hear the truth from people living in a country. Majority will deceive you by painting a rosy and wonderful pic of the country they live whereas they are suffering in silence. I’m not saying everybody is not successful in Australia but a lot of people, especially immigrants are having it tough. It is better to lower your expectations of what Australia is and what it has to offer.
I see amongst Nigerians especially on this forum and similar forums, it is the good side of Australia that is projected. Go online, especially amongst Indians, people have expressed their opinions in a way I have done today to warn prospective immigrants. There’s a lot at stake, there’s a lot to weigh. I know Nigeria is bad right now and all we want to do is escape the “sh** hole”

He had written his own experience, can we please respect it.

You can read to learn from it or ignore it.

@AdeyinkaSeun,

I hope you find peace with where you are soon. If you are not on state sponsored visa, you can move to Perth where the crime rate is lower than Melbourne.

May you find peace and God grant all your desires....

Hi, I’ve been living in Melbourne for the past 9 months and my experience is totally opposite of what you just described.

I got my first professional job in two months, moved in to a new house, haven’t experienced any blackout or racism ( note, I’m the only black guy where I work. Maybe they do it in my back, can’t tell). And trust me, I’ve been to UK and a lot of other European countries and I know what is obtainable there. In my honest opinion, Melbourne is totally opposite of what you just described.

Please what part of Melbourne are you staying cos we’ve been here for 9months and this is actually the opposite for us. Everything is working in this country. Most Nigerians we met here are living in their house and it’s not like they have fantastic jobs o. I think the first sets of people you meet will determine your stay here.

Talking of Racism, we personally haven’t experienced any. We really need to know what part of Melbourne you are living cos this is is too much negativity compare to other stories here.

What is totally opposite in what I described?
That shops don’t close at 5pm?
That internet is not slow? Australia has about the slowest internet amongst the developed world. It’s internet speed is ranked 50th in the world.
That Melbournians aren’t racially profiling blacks because of a few Sudanese?
That crime is not on the increase?

Don’t lose focus of my write up. It’s not discourage anybody from relocating to Melbourne or Australia but not to expect too much. There are third world problems here too. I lived in Nigeria for 25years before my company transferred me to the UK. I was there for 4 years before being transferred again to Finland and Switzerland. I never experienced all these issues which I I have experienced in Australia. Well it might be a case of different strokes for different folks.

Hi AdeyinkaSeun,
Its really sad to read that you have been through all mentioned. I am in Melbourne and so far I have experienced the opposite of what you have mentioned. Nevertheless, I'm sure we all will agree that it isn't a bed of roses anywhere.
I really do hope you find peace and tranquillity wherever you decide to settle down, be it in Melbourne, another part of Australia or Nigeria....

True tho. Different strokes for different folks. But like I said my experience is totally opposite of your and I sincerely hope you do find peace anywhere you finally decide to settle.

Just out of curiosity, did you get a professional job in the same capacity like your previous job in Naija? I ask cos that might also contribute to your assertions of life in Melbourne

Kempguy47:

Just out of curiosity, did you get a professional job in the same capacity like your previous job in Naija?

Yes I did. In the same field.

I quite agree that the media blew the Sudanese Cris out of proportion making an average shop owner in Melbourne to be scared of Africans. There was a documentary shown on SBS about the roles the media played to negatively feed people about Apex gang which the media claimed is responsible for all the crimes in Melbourne.
The good thing is that Victoria police debunked the existence of any gang and SBS concluded that the apex gang was the evil imagination and creation of the media in Melbourne.

That being said, prejudice and stereotypes are human thing. We all should understand that dominant group will always prejudice against minor groups while they prejudice for their ingroup members.

Psychology research concluded that prejudice in all forms such as racism, tribalism and stereotypes cannot be eliminated as it is part of our existence which I agree completely.

However, you live in a country where your rights will be protected if you fight for it. If you are being racially abused, file charges against the person or organisation. If you believe that a recruitment process is not fair, especially in government settings, you can write for a review of the process.

Switzerland, the Balkans, Nordic part of Europe have the highest form of documented racial discrimination in the world. My advice, if your rights are being trampled on, stand up to whoever is doing it, don't keep quiet.

If a shop owner repeats what happened to you the last time, start a social media smear campaign against the shop. Trust me they will come running to beg you.

Bro, fight for your rights. The shop closing is a policy thing which has its merits.

AdeyinkaSeun:


Are you in Australia? Why throw insults because I have given you my experience?

no insult intended. you made a claim, I asked for evidence.

Hi AdeyinkaSeun,

I agree with some but not all of the issues raised.

I am in Melbourne. Can we have coffee together if you don' t mind? We can have a good chat on these issues.

PM me my brother

Good thing is that you got a job in your field. So, I guess the main challenge is sorted. Every other thing is personal and can be taken care of by yourself if you so wish. You need to put things in perspective and make fair comparison. IMO, if your alternative was returning to the UK or Europe, then good on you. However, if you're serious about returning to Nigeria as the better option to living in Melbourne, then I'm afraid your sense of judgement has been greatly affected by the experiences you mentioned. Don't get me wrong, I cearly understand your experiences and considering your career profile and experience of living in other overseas countries, I can understand your dissatisfaction. I'm, however, not in support of your decision to return to Naija, and if you eventually do, I'm sure your wife and kids would not forgive you for such act. You really need to consider them as well and not just yourself.

I've promised not to write an epistle here, so if you really want a different perspective and advice, I'm happy to join in your coffee (beer) meeting to share views/experience. We may learn a thing or two from each other. There's also a whatsapp group for Nairalanders living in Melbourne. You can opt to be added so you can connect with other Nigerian migrants. I'm also happy to connect with you on any platform of your choice and at least give u reasons to debunk most if not all of your claims as there are positives or better aspect of life in Melbourne too.

You can also have a read of most of our stories; non claimed to be a bed of roses. We all had our challenges but were determined to rise above all. Here's is a long epistle of my personal experience if you have time and care to read:

https://www.nairaland.com/4107449/living-australia-life-australian-immigrant/7#61640311

PS: Even Australians and Aboriginals go through similar experiences like you. So, don't take it too personal.

AdeyinkaSeun:


Yes I did. In the same field.

I have been in Melbourne for 8 months and even though I have quite a different experience from AdeyinkaSeun, I however share the same mindset as regards getting a job. As shared on this medium, I was a successful IT professional back in Nigeria but getting a job here was so tough for me. They like your profile but will reject solely on the basis that you don't have local experience. You are not even given the chance to defend your CV. After working in a factory for some time and seeing fellow better educated Nigerians doing menial jobs here I began to think maybe this immigration scheme is just one big scam to bring in people from overseas to fill their growing demand in the unprofessional labour market. I keep telling my wife that had I known that I, as a former manager in an IT firm in Lagos, would come to Australia and work in a factory for 6 weeks before getting a professional job, maybe I would have stayed back. What kept me going was the grace of God as well as the thought that I was doing all this to give my children a future better than what they can get back home in Nigeria, and the fact that every single Nigerian I met here has had a similar or even worse experience but are all doing well today.

The truth still remains that here is still generally better than back in Nigeria. Here there's justice, peace of mind, better quality of life, better value for life and property and better opportunities for yourself. I know a Nigerian psychiatrist who came in 20 years ago. It was rough for him at the beginning. Infact he had to sleep at the airport for three days as he had no place to go. But today he's wanted all over Australia for medical appointments. He charges a minimum of $150 per hour for his time. He has several properties all over the place. All his children are married and are successful.

Bottom line is that I am here to stay. And God willing, I will prosper

AdeyinkaSeun:


Typical Nigerian way. This thread is about living in Australia. I have given my honest opinion about life in Melbourne as a black person.
Why don’t you respect it?

All you said are the negatives and I am sure there are positives. Next time present both sides so that people will know what they will gain and lose at the same time.

AdeyinkaSeun:


Cheers guys!

Hi. Sorry about the experience you've had. It'll be nice if you can also state the area in Melbourne so prospective immigrants can take note.

And yes, you can try other parts of Melbourne or another state entirely.

Cheers.

Sorry bro I guess that could be your experience but very TRUE am not in Australia but I get live updates of what's happening in Australia through Dailymail Australia Facebook page there is high crime rate in melbourne especially those Sudanese African guys making blacks look as if their all thieves with annoying comments Australians comment on those posts.


Every week if not every day I see updates of Melbourne hoodlums and crises the one that surprised me was the one these Sudanese guys used a house someone left/abandoned for lease these guys used there for drugs with crazy things in someone's house.

Please all well Nigerians in Austtralia for a purpose please stay far away from those Sudanese even though your of the same race those guys are evil especially in Melbourne.

#For the doubting Thomas please Like Dailymail Australia page on Facebook so you see what goes on in Australia.
Thanks

AdeyinkaSeun:


Hi Oga Bellong. I’m not state sponsored. I’m on 189. It’s an option I have not thought of. Will consider it. Thanks

Don't consider that bro... Come back to Nigeria, like you said, you will get a job... I tell you solemnly, there are lots of jobs here, so much that we have our own immigration system and business, the power is awesomely available 247, the healthcare system is out of this world, the military will lay down their lives in your defence, your kids will have the best of education and a bright future, the roads and infrastructure are being maintained and brought up to capacity, the politicians are selfless, our leaders are humane, the judiciary is nothing but perfect, the agricultural sector is booming, there interest free loan facilities for startups... I can keep going, but I believe I have made my point.

You have every right to your opinion, I respect that.

Please, where in Melbourne are you staying? Have you had any conversation with other Nigerians resident in Melbourne? Have you corroborated your experience with other blacks? I'm not resident in Australia, but find it hard believing your epistle. People have stated their culture shocks and nothing close to what you have shared was ever mentioned.

Thanks

AdeyinkaSeun:


Yes. Making preparations to go back. I have a job here. I need to get a job in Nigeria before going back

Ehya..welcome back to motherland in advance,there are plenty jobs of course and home is the best..abi now?..i would have loved to hear the good sides of melbourne from you as well...because i am consideri f moving there as moat of what i get are good reports...where do you stay if you dont mind me asking so that some of us can be guided

On another note naija is big on tribalism and nepotism which is on the same scale with rasicm or even worse (afterall we are all blacks in Nigeria you get?)...i learnt to live with different tribes and thier shenanigans so same can be applied to different races..
