this is a big lie jare
i dont think you know what you are saying

Greetings!

I'm an Afroswede, born and raised in Sweden. Life in sweden is okay, but not much more than that. Its true there is some sense of security system or "safety net" that prevents people to fall below a sertain standard of living. However this welfare system is not what it used to be and the general politics in this century are moving more and more towards lower taxes and a free market so the redistributing of wealth and founding of social institutions for everybody such as youth centres and cheap health care are fading. Sweden still has a well developed school system which is free for all citisens but the gap between rich and poor is now widening and schools in areas with a more wealthy population tend to have better standards and resources both in forms of materials and employees.

One very important thing to be aware of in this country is that the distribution of wealt can generally be matched with a scale of etnicity, or skincolor. The darker skin you have in Sweden, the lower paid is your job. Sweden do not register its citisens etnicity so the istitutional racism is hard to prove with the help of numbers since there is almost no statistics on it, it falls below the radar. Minority goups in this society is heavily marginalised and have no prominent voice in media or in politics. The few "brown" peolpe in the parliament have gone so far by downplaying their own heritage and by pushing for "stricter laws and regulations towards immigrants".

Sweden is one of those countries where you might live for 40 years or even be born in, and still not really feel "swedish". The perceprion of "swedishness" does not include anyone that is non-white, thats why, as for examle an African, many doors will be closed. Swedes still feel that blacks, arabs, asians or latinos is not a natural part of sweden. It does not matter if your family has livd here for generations, if you are black, your swedishness will be questioned and you will never be fully accepted as swedish as much as a white person with a "swedish-sounding" name or not even as much as an immigrant that is white.

The grass is allways greener on the other side... If you come here you might find it an acceptable place to live if you master the language and manage to withstand the long dark cold winters. The nature is beautiful, the streets are much safer than UK or USA and as I said before the education system is really good and totally free. Its not easy in Sweden but its far from the worst places to live. Unfortunately the new government imposed fees for exchange students from outside EU so if you are not planning on becoming a citisen and just want to study i reccomend Germany. They still have a lot of schools with very low fees but with hight quality and you will find many masters programmes in english.

thanks a lot for help ot with your information
what if some one is coming there to search for a football club?even local,regional,semi pro and professional what matters is to start from somewhere

workingirl: There aren't many Nigerians in Sweden but there is a small community. The bigger communities are like Eritreans and Somalians and people from that part of Africa. Things are as expensive as London, but everything runs smoothly and on schedule. Buses, trains, subway. People are comfortable and everyone is cared for. They queue for everything, they have this number system thats really cute. They are law abiding and you never hear anything in the news about robbery or attack or ANYTHING, well once in a blue moon, and it makes sensational news. They speak English very well, they also have Tv channels in English subtitled in Swedish. Its very very cold in the winter months and not very warm in the summer, but bearable. The night life is fun, there are many clubs and bars. What else?

Brethren Nigeria is good and Abroad is good also,first have information of where you are going to and know if they do the things you have in mind.By the Grace of God am in Qatar,things s changing unlike before,i thank God for that,but am still sticked to my mind of what i want,to be a great footballer.My teammate told me of his friend that went to Germanywith 3months visiting visa last year and went to a local football team and requestedfor a trial ,what happened afterwards he was asked if he want play with them he said yes,they gave him a long time contract and help him change his papers immediately.When he was abotu to go a lot of discouragement bra bra bra bra but today he is earning more than a million naira,so please lets get some points before talking and let nobody used because he didnt make it to discourage other.Here in Qatar i know some that stayed for 14 months without a job few times he will do some dirty jobs to eat,some other guys went back to Nigeria but today this guy have a nice job paying more than 400,000 naira ,new car,nice and comfortabe accomodation he has just brought his wife and daughter.The point i want to make is that GODS TIME IS THE BEST!!!

Hello nairalanders, please who can help with information on getting a visa to Sweden, I have a friend who's willing to invite me, how do I go about it? And is a swedish vis easy to get? I would only be visiting for two weeks and back home as I have a business to run. Also my friend is sponsoring my trip including flights and accommodation. Thanks for your urgent response.
