Where will I start from? Well born in Naija but I have travel alot. Africa I have been to republic of Niger what I see there is suffering. I have been To Algiers, Constantine and Oran all in Algeria. They should be best address as europeans cos the place is well planned and neat. I have been to Ghana, Benin republic, Togo and Ivory coast. Europe. I have been to Paris France and Monaco, I have been to Milano, Rome and Torino all in Italy, I live in Geneva and Zurich in Switzerland as well as Warsaw in Poland. In addition I visited Frankfurt and Munich in Germany and spend couple of days in Norway. America I did my Master in California U.S.A, and visited other couple if cities in U.Sa. I have also been to Cacun In Mexico. Asia. Spend my 2010 holiday in Kualar Lumpur in Malaysia. Middle East. Qatar. Life in U.S.A is ok but you are mostly on your own as every body is always busy. Man gat to pay bills you know. Swiss life is very cool but expensive . You better avoid anything that will land you into police trouble. Polish life is cheap but no much work but their girls are very pretty All these countries except Niger republic, Benin and Togo are all better than Nigeria 1000percent. Thank you. 24 Likes |

SirLakes: Well I live in the Southend of Amelika, Mississippi (A whole lot of people who adore the Confederate flag) to be precise. Bro it's not expensive here in Mississippi due to how poor the State is compared to most 'Yankee' States. My journey out of Nigeria started here on Nairaland! To cut it short. Nigeria has no future! To add to it, I'd be getting married soon. By January! Right now I'm thinking of how to move my entire village to this place. 28 Likes |

Funnicator: Pharmacy is a hot job regardless of the country you reside( maybe except Nigeria...lol). In the U.S licensure varies by state. So you pick out the state you want to domicile and check out the website of their pharmacy board. Salary wise, it varies depending on the industry you want to dive in. A friend once told me that Walgreens start their pharmacist at 80k and this was like in 2014 I believe. And the salary will be similar between Canada, Australia and the U.S. Cost of living, it depends on where you decide to stay, in the U.S, west coast and East coast have higher cost of living. I find Canada to be expensive tho, their taxes are too high for my liking but I am reliably informed that their high taxes are needed because of their single payer healthcare system. But living in the U.S and visiting Canada, I grumble anytime I am purchasing sth. Maybe I would enjoy Canada better if I was a Canadian or a resident because I would enjoy the amenities provided with the higher taxes. I like Australia, it seems cool and the politics is not deeply divided like in the U.S (in my view) and Australia dollar is Higher than both canadian and American dollar. As for Chicks, every country have both good, bad and ugly and remember beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. One more thing, if you plan going to Quebec or Montreal... Berra learn french. It will come in handy. Australia, things are a bit expensive as well, remember Australia is in it's own continent surrounded by smaller countries, the biggest neighbor by GDP is New Zealand. 2 Likes |

Funnicator:both countries are good and offer quality standard of living. Opportunities are abound in both countries. The only difference between Canada and Oz is that one is way colder and the other is way hotter. One is farther and the other is not. 3 Likes |

I havent been to any other foreign country other than australia and I ve been living here for over a year now. Life here is generally good and independent. Very conservative, pretty mild racism-compared to what our brothers go through in Europe. What more? I can assure you that here, it is very easy for someone who grew up in nigeria to live a decent life. here. As usual, basic amenities are there to standards and what I love most about here is the fact that the LAW works. I am rest assured that contractual aggreements are usually honored, espescially when compared to nigeria where you get duped and still get the response " shine your eyes next time". Safety is taken very seriously here. Just recently, I heard in the news where bones were found in a bush (unsure whether its human bones)- a thorough police investivation was conducted- and I thought about my country where even real open deaths get swept under the carpet. Well, no place like home, but with the level of thinking of nigerians I see on nairaland and other social media, I definitely do not want to go back 12 Likes |

I am currently in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Believe me, if it is possible for me to move over my family, I will do that and renounce Nigerian nationality for ever. The country is not as developed as Nigeria, yet the serenity and peaceful atmosphere is alluring. Here public power supply never blinks. Water is 24/7. Ever since I came here 5 months ago, I have never heard of any incident of armed robbery. Just the usual pick pocketers that is normal in populated cities. But being a Nigerian outside the shores has its stigma following one like tse-tse fly. Security officials take unusual interests in you wherever you go. It is the only handicap. 3 Likes |
