6 years in Ivory Coast and I don’t think I’m coming back anytime soon,
The last time I came back to Nigeria I was Harassed at the Nigerian border Ny NDLEA for no reason
Extorted in Lagos Island by police for absolutely no offense
Intimidated by the street cultist
Lost a lot of items all these happened in the space of 1 month

To me going to Nigeria now is like going to war

Really?
what is the cost of accommodation over there?
Apart from Abidjan, which other city is good for a Nigerian to settle?

Gambia is a very good place to be. If you have the cash.

Going to ivory Coast should take up to 80k. But you must factor hotel bills and normal itinerary too
80k is far way too small. Do u knw how much she will pay for her tp to and fro?

In terms of what?
Stop displaying your ignorance here... how many African countries have you travelled to?
Small countries like Benin republic, Ghana, Rwanda, Gambia, Ivory coast etc are far better than this zoo you call a country. But unfortunately, Nigeria is far more blessed in resources than these countries. The reason? CORRUPTION! Almost everyone you see in Nigeria is selfish, dishonest and corrupt. That's why things don't work here.
Take our education for example... Ask yourself: How many students from other African countries are coming to Nigeria to study? And why is it that almost every Nigerian parents that can afford it are sending their children to study in other countries?
Why is Nigeria the poverty capital of the world despite all our resources?
It's because NIGERIA IS THE CORRUPTION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

why is south africa's unemployment rate so high, with all their job openings?
tensazangetsu20:


True there's no job in Nigeria but other African countries are worst. In a lot of these countries once you leave university you just go back to your father's house and farm. In Cameroon just here doctors hawk drugs as there are no jobs for doctors. You can imagine for other professions. South Africa has the most job openings but the unemployment rate in south Africa is around 70 percent

It's not true, some African countries are relatively better and safe than Nigeria even Gabon, Libreville and Port gentiles are 100% better than Nigeria, stable power supply, good road network, affordable good food, easy access to menial jobs that pay good like hustling in their seaports, they eat more of assorted fish, our regular frozen fish there is not even considered a fish, they eat different types of good fish freshly gotten by Nigerian fishermen from ilaje and ijaw and Sao tome fishermen who go to fishing on the high sea on a daily basis than red beef, they flex weekends like carnivals good music, drinks and barbecue fish from Friday evening till late hours of Sunday night, nothing robbery, the only thing amazing about Nigeria is our music and social life and Nigerians got style besides that Naija is messed up, highly insecured with greedy politicians. Luanda, Angola is also cool.

It is easier to get American visa than getting Angolan visa. The country is heaven on earth

Bro, you need to change this mentality or belief that blacks are corrupt. Before the white man came, were blacks corrupt?
abobote:
When we say Nigeria is the worse country on earth, some will say you are abusing your country.

I think we chased the whites away, when we were not ready to govern, coz most of these countries, including côté Ivoire, were built by whites.
Blacks are very corrupt, especially Nigeria ( the most corrupt country on earth).
Whites will take some of your resources, but they will give you basic amenities, like water, electricity, road and security.

You exaggerated on the price of banana though, except you are in their village

There are no jobs in Namibia o. You need to read Namibians wailing on Reddit. Namibia was top three in the number of unemployed citizens globally before Covid. Nigerian youths have more economic opportunities to than the average Namibian youth. If the country was relatively peaceful, people would have moved to LCOL states especially in the north and middle belt. Tensa20 is right, only South Africa should be compared to Nigeria. As for others esp those island states, it is an orange-to-apple comparison. Those countries are good to live safely, but not for economic opportunities. Ivory Coast is not even in the top five economies in sub-Saharan Africa. Ghana, upon her perennial IMF begi-begi, has a bigger economy than Ivory Coast.

That was how someone said Sudan is better than Nigeria because Ireland does not subject doctors trained there to qualifying exams. Sudan better than Nigeria? Maybe to groom terrorists.
The bolded is the answer I have been looking for, because I wonder why some Nigerians are schooling in Sudan....Very ridiculous

People will start dusting their bags to relocate to Ivory Coast. The goal and aspiration of Nigerians is to find a nice place to migrate and scatter like they tried in SA, China, Malaysia and Dubai.

There's a systemic ploy by devilish Nigerians to keep Nigeria grounded in our lifetime. Those who wish to flee can while the rest who don't have a problem with the contraption can stay back and enjoy it.

The point is that those fleeing fools after making money over there will still come back to contest,win and worsen the situation more than they met it.

The problem bedeviling this our country big pass us. We can't solve it by ourselves.

Running won't change a thing.

Shut up your mouth there. I have travelled to most of the African countries and I can tell you for a fact that many of them no reach Nigeria. Even that Southy sef na just the oyibo people develop am which is why they have better infrastructure. Imagine what Naija would have been without corruption. They don’t call Naija giant of Africa for nothing.

Just Imagine how person go wake up and go hustle for Abidjan wey Ivorians sef dey suffer. Upon that imagine not knowing how to speak French and you think say you go survive there.. I feel like giving you a very hot slap on that your big head. Mugu

Nice 1.

This is the same Ivory coast that had a mini civil war, some years ago. But because they are not natural criminals, it was easy for them to restart their foundational structure. I mean, they are not too creative to make themselves much more successful, just as many African countries are not successful, but ivory coast and some African countries have a lower corruption threshold, so their leaders mostly complete planned projects; unlike Nigerian leadership that will eat and launder the public project finances.

In summary, Food is cheap outside Nigeria. Many good things work outside Nigeria. These working countries try to run a fair society unlike tribalized Nigeria.

10. The use of generators: I never heard the sound of generators throughout my stay there. Even barbershops don't have it. Light is in abundance. Many times I cut my hair in their shops, I looked out for generator even one of those days there was interruption in power, no barber owned a generator to assist his work. Nobody at all. Total blackouts is generally distributed once there's interruption due to maintenance.

Why won't the barbers make it, financially there? cheesy
Bro, I still wonder why Nigeria government can't provide 24hrs electricity to Nigerians.

Steady electricity supply is not rocket science for crying out loud.

Build a power plant, generate power and distribute it.

As simple as that...


For me, it's these blackouts in Nigeria that is making it underdeveloped.

If you travel abroad, you will think they use witchcraft to keep there lights on 24/7.


I've spent 4years here, and not for a second has my light gone off.
