thinking of relocating to the US, Canadians are wayy to laid back , need a few years in the states either Cali or NY , but ideally any where on the east coast is better cause its closer to home.

Ist travel was Europe and it was a very very nice experience. The people loved Africans. They loved that we could speak their language ( even though not fluently). The place was very welcoming and they sometimes gave us free foodstuff at the market and free rides to wherever we were going. I remember one particular woman who welcomed me into her house when my electricity was out. I needed to charge my phone but my charging port wasn't really good. She tried all available sockets just to ensure it was charging. She then began gisting me (in their language) about all her kids who were now married and were in other countries. She gave me nice fruits and even made coffee for me to drink as it was Winter. That was the day I ate the best fruit known to man. That had to be the fruit Adam and Eve ate, it was heavenly.

School was so much fun too, friendly lecturers, friendly secretary. Good learning environment. No stress, no lecturer failing you unjustly. First day of snow we all went out, played in the snow for hours taking lovely pictures.

I remember the first day we went to school without a guide. We all stopped at the wrong train station, got lost, asked for directions but due to the language barrier we were given the wrong directions so we ended up at the American embassy instead. Going back home was even worse. On our way we were already lost not knowing what train station to alight when we met a Nigerian who claimed to have been there for long. He gave us wrong directions again and we ended up lost again. We then decided we trek until we see road signs that show we were going in the right direction. That was when one of my friends sighted a saloon where she had been to a few days earlier. It was owned by a Nigerian and she gave us the proper direction home.

I had many wonderful experiences including signing authographs because some of them had never seen black people before.

My experiences cannot contain even a whole book so I'll just stop here.

Second country was UAE.

It is when you leave this country that you'll realize that Nigeria is worse than hell fire.
what's the name of the European country you went to?

I am writing an article titled “should/ will the whites come back?”. I ll publish it on here too. Nigeria is a ticking bomb, if not checked more than a quarter of the population may loose their lives.
i will love to read it.. Please update me when you publish it. Thanks

I've never traveled out of the country, but I'm sure most people on this thread saying rubbish about this country are cankerworm. Fair enough, the country isn't doing well, but the exaggeration by these folks is obnoxious. Besides, I don't ever think there can be anywhere that can be better than home. As terrible as the country is, it is our home.


Your home... speak for yourself

When I got to Johannesburg in 2009,i almost cried,cause I do think Nigeria is more developed than south Africa sad in fact I thought other African countries are more worst than Nigeria.

Bro,pardon me for asking this question.I am a pharmacist here in Nigeria but looking forward to do my MSC in a specialized course in pharmacy preferably outside the country.
Though, I have not thought about Brazil until I read this piece of yours. Can you give me a piece of information about good Universities offering pharmacy courses in Brazil where I can enroll for MSC and with the opportunity to live and work after my degree.
Thanks.
