Chokes: I have been in Canberra now for four days and I find it incredibly boring. Life ere is expensive and the coming from the UK I find it depressing. Wishing to move somewhere else any suggestions on a much livelier city with more Nigerians to hangout with and little jobs to start with.

ROTFL!! Australia will be the 2nd London

londoner: @Jennykadry.....I agree that Nigerian who come over should do their best to live by the rules and adopt a way of life that does not show Nigeria/ns in a bad light.

Having said that though, other African nationalities that are already here in numbers, especially the Sudanese and Kenyans, actually have a bad reputation.

Some Sudanese actually parade themselves pitifully in Perth. The young girls dress in clothes that hardly cover their body and go about targeting older Oz men to use for money. The Kenyans are often involved in benefit fraud. They try and claim refugee status by telling the Oz authorities that they are Sudanese and basically live off benefits.

Many of the non Naija communities in Oz are getting involved in gang crime, drug dealing and getting pregnant in their teens and live on state assistance.


I do know that a small number of Nigerians have begun their 419 activities in Oz. I would say the student and professional classes of Nigerians are more in number though. But, one Nigerian fraudster is one too many IMO. There are a small number of Nigerian I have met in Australia so far, some put me off because of their usual mentality (which I'm sorry to say is general among Africans imo). To be honest, I prefer to keep my distance generally, until I run into some that have a different mindset.

All where gainfully employed though, either in professions or business owners. I think, in contrast to London, Australia is attracting Nigerians that are educated and established in Nigeria or elsewhere. At the very least they seem to be coming to Oz to study. They rarely come to Oz out of desperation or hunger....

I get your concern though, it's one I share.
