Malmo is better in my opinion.

Just 30 mins away from Copenhagen, and it's warmer than Stockholm. Life in Malmo is also fabulous. it is lively and awesome.

And yes I agree with you. Sweden can straighten all the shit away from your life. If you have a legal residence there, then materially, you are set for life.

The things most people worry about have been taken care of. You will be paid to study, so you don't disturb yourself with hustle. Your rent paid for, with free healthcare, doesn't matter if your sickness needs 1M USD per month for medicine.

Safe, civilized, and beautiful., and exceptionally clean.

Germany offers everything you mentioned and much more.

To be honest even learning a new language doesn't guarantee anything. People don go Goethe institute sotey they dey dream in German. Visa no still come cheesy grin. The only foreign language I can advise anyone to learn is Spanish. Citizenship in Spanish speaking countries is a bit easy and if you want to get eu citizenship. All ex colonies nationals only need to live two years in Spain to get EU citizenship. Mind you this can be gotten in 6 years depending on when you leave naija o. That 6 years na only PR In some countries that's if you get visa sef

German citizenship is doable within 3 years.

So long as they keep a firm hand on immigration, they will be fine.
The day they adopt massive 3rd world immigration is the beginning of their doom.

I went to look and this is only possible through marriage. Do German ladies easily do contract marriage with African men? If it's that straightforward why are people still claiming asylum and without papers for years?

They have dont that in the past.Swedes and Danish were sworn enemies in the past .The finns never had it good with the Swedes oligarchy.Skane region belonging to Denmark had to be relinquished to the Sweden territory under a treaty for peace to reign.

2 years Sweden marked an anniversary of their noble men in broad day light by Danes in Stockholm.I once visited the Kalmar king's old palace,where we showed the tunnel he absconds from when Danish intruders attack his palace.

Thr problem of Nigeria was colonialism and forcing different culture into a nation is the greatest crime against humanity.
Nigeria should be broken into 25 countries to habe peace like the Europeans.
This one is busy talking about the past grin

If all the insecurities and hardship happening now in Nigeria happened 30 years ago then who will give a Fu*ck sad

For me, Swedish visa is very easy to get as i apply through Rwanda. I got it in 5 days! Like i said before, they are tightening the route through education because most people from 3rd country, come school & dont like to go back to their country. They need businesses who can at least employ them.....

That is why they easily give visas to entrepreneurs than to students



Talking about business or tech, what kind of business or tech do one indicate while applying for their visa?

Please elaborate

Thank you in advance

You don't need to steal, even if you steal, you will eventually get caught.

Things I found out in Sweden.

β€’ I paid commission to exchange my US dollars to Swedish krone! Foreign currency is actually not craved for here like we do in Africa

β€’ Everyone is helpful, nice & kind. Can give up their food for you. Their social welfare system is the best in the world.

β€’ It's a totally cashless economy here. Yes, you actually dont need a paper money. Everything is digitalized including buying anything!

β€’ Everyone works. The bills are crazy so any krones is needed. The Swedes are naturally, big, brawny, smart and strong. So working hard is never a problem.

* Work resumes by 10 am here due to weather changes. I mean formal jobs, not non skilled jobs.

β€’ During summer, the sun doesn't go down. Meaning, there's no night. You can get sick due to body adopting these time changes. My first night i Stockholm, i slept around 1am without knowing its that late.

β€’ Its really stable here. Count your self lucky like me if you have access to Sweden, it takes a lot to get their papers! Their paper can straighten out some shits in your life. I am a testimony.

β€’ Stockholm is an idea City to raise up a child as everything is cool, lovely and good! World class primary & secondary schooling FREE.

β€’ Crime rate is really low. Yahoo, fraud or other social vices can not work here. You will be caught easily as there are traits to everything you do

β€’ Swedes are normally thieves, they are the original Vikings or sea faring thieves of past, so to curb that natural trait to steal, the government has done a lot to ensure everything can be tranced, this gave rise to a cashless, contactless economy that has proved to very efficient! In order words, it has made the Swedes to be law abiding because off what use is it to steal when you know you will be caught? Well, their prison is better than most average homes in Africa!

β€’ Transportation is relatively fixed. For 3.9$ (39SEK) you can get a ride on the bullet train to anywhere in Stockholm for 75minutes. No other fee applies.

β€’ Beside Rent, food, anyone can survive in Stockholm without much of a deal! With a Salary of $3000 per month, you'd live like a king! Especially if you work remotely!

β€’ You don't really need public transport/a car to move around city, except you are hopping from one island to another. A scooter or bicycle would be more helpful!

β€’ Swedes are Innovative, they have customized bicycles to various roles in the house, or work.

β€’ I prefer living in Stockholm than anywhere in USA or Canada.

β€’ The gap between rich and poor is low compared to France or UK. Here the richest man might be that fellow riding an electric scooter, or drinking low beer with you in the pub.

β€’ Most houses in Stockholm do not have physical keys... They use codes type into the door to open. So if you have no business there, you gat no reason

β€’ Almost everyone drives a bicycle, or scooter to move from one place to another.

β€’ Sweden is really expensive to live in, but has one of the highest quality of life you can imagine.

β€’ Everyone drink tap water. It's squeaky clean & safe. pH value is almost 7.0 on the dot!

β€’ I met several Nigerians, most of them left Italy to reside here. They're always preferred before other African nationalities.

β€’ Nigerians here, as in Kigali keep the law.
Is prostitution thriving there?

Lemme alert my girl JennyClay to relocate.

Italy is not paying well anymore πŸ˜’

Anytime I read the bold from Africans, esp Nigerians, I shake my head. People who trade in tribalism used it to flog other people who went to vote, exterminate communities because the indigenes are of a different ethnic group, and many more are suddenly worried about racism. Racism is way worse than tribalism because you both are of the same race aka share the same skin colour. The annoying thing about the tribalism is the privation bedevilling both people. People wey poverty don nack their head pass talking drum dey carry tribalism for head like gala. A South Korean and Japanese might have issues because of their histories, but both persons are citizens of rich countries. Somewhere in Africa, two people go get problem even if their ethnic groups never had one historically, but these people are both poor. Most of them inhale generator fumes for a living. Others don turn camel because of fuel at N700. Tomorrow, they want to japa and are bothered about racism.

Nansense!

As always, better to reside with racists in a prosperous land than live with tribalists in the world's poverty capital. If you must discriminate against others, ensure you're prosperous at global levels.
