Very sad how they make life unbearable for Nigerians.

If this was in the western world, you just need to apply for replacement certificate online or in person and pay the necessary fees usually $10 or $20 and the school will mail the transcript/certificate to you.

He filed a lawsuit doesn't mean the court will hear the case right away.

The lawsuit could take years to be resolved and remember each party have appeal rights.

Fayose trying to escape by nook or by crook. Next thing, he will say he need to go abroad for medical treatment. grin

Please don't quote me, I am not feeling fine.

I feel in love with the country after a little research. I have always considered countries with less population cos I believe they will have value for human lives. Economy too is OK.

Dear God, favor me abeg. I want to experience life outside Nigeria. What if I don't make heaven? From Nigeria to hell straight? God abeg.....

Well, while choosing a country to relocate to, the very first thing to check is the immigration system.

I wouldn't advise anyone to relocate permanently to any country without having the right document. The amount of suffering is just too much for undocumented individuals.

Just research proper, I know a little bit about Luxembourg that it takes a long time to become a citizen unlike U.S . And you must be proficient in their language.

Language is a must anyways for better survival. Your survival chances are great if you learn to speak the language of the host country.

Luxembourg ��

Oh, that tiny rich country grin

I have not been there myself, but I knew Nigerians live there too... heck Nigerians are everywhere grin

.

One thing for sure is, whenever you are traveling to any country , your number one success there is learning the language. That would open so many doors for you. I believe Luxembourg is one of those countries that have multiple national lingua franca.
I know German is one of them and they have their local dialect too, I have forgotten what they call it.

But yea, that's a nice country.

That's the first thing they told me. The man bragged he owned 3 guns, mentioning their names one by one. Lol!

'Bless your heart' is just a language they use here 24/7

If you want to gel in well with white folks... tune into country station and know few artiste and few of their songs and the lines... that will help you get some girls too grin

they love country music , their cheap beer, hunting and horseback riding.

I tried horseback riding once in Nashville, back in my rockstar days , was down there for the CMA awards the saddle almost damaged by blockos... grin

that was my first time tho grin

At first I was bit afraid to mingle with them. But I don't have such fear again.
On my birthday, the man and his wife got me a book (South was Right) and a flag! I collected it thinking it was a car key just to see that. Lol!

Well, I'm still learning a lot of things here.. And there are quite a number of Black African who live, school and work here. After college football and most weekends, there's one African restaurant I do visit just before USM Hattiesburg.

It's been bitter for me and sweet for me too! Not easy at all!

Bless your heart homeboy. One thing for sure the South love their college football. They love their college football just like they love their Confederate flags grin

Yea, some of them are very nice just dont discuss politics and religion with them.. especially politics. And dont dare tell them owning gun is not a way to go. That's like a no no for them.

It is all good tho

This thread is really interesting, though I don't have the opportunity to travel out yet but when I wish to travel the information here can guide me. I really want to experience life outside Nigeria. Let me start working on my savings though.

I particularly wanted to hear gist about a certain country but I have not heard, I thought our members were worldwide? Someone help me tell Explorers I have not heard from him in ages. I hope all is well?

Which country were you expecting to get more info on ?

Lol! Most are them are radicals, and sometimes racists. But I came to this place via the help of a core believer of Confederacy..
They treated fine, got me introduced to how things worked out here. Thru them I got to know the person I'm planning to marry. I lived in Jackson at first before moving to Hattiesburg. Life in the South is sweet tho not like life in the North!
One thing I noticed when I arrived was that they spoke English similar to the British English.

No nah... southern drawl is not close to british English grin

Boy o boy, south scares me.. and the sun is too damn hot for me. I was in Oklahoma in June. Shît, the sun there was too hot. I drove from Michigan, I just didn't like the scene I came across, in Missouri, Arkansas etc.. every place seen to be oozing poor poor with Confederate flags flying everywhere, people proudly mounting it in their F150. Nah nah, no thank you grin

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.

Mississippi ? anyone flying the Confederate flag scares me grin

but I took my family to Biloxi back in July. Nice place but I dont plan on ever living down south ( maybe Texas).

It's all good tho

Want to do my postgraduate in pharmacy.

Thinking of Canada, Aussie or US.

You've well spent good time in three of them.

How can you assess them on cost of living, job availability, standard of living, ability to find pharmacy jobs, hot chicks, racism.

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.

U.S here, lived in Canada for a while and visited Australia, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

They are all similar but if I have my way.. I will pick Australia ahead of the 3.

One thing that is common in this 3 dollar countries. Life is easier for you when you have a permanent residence or a citizen.

Also, Stay focused and work hard. Lot of times your success depends on who you stayed with when you arrived,( like your host. )

If they are good and honest, they will show the ropes , what to do etc.

And, make sure you know how to drive and get your own car.

In the U.S especially, everyone is striving for their independence. U.S is not Europe where many people dont fancy/or dont know how to drive and live like 5 in one apartment.

Not in the U.S , no one wants their privacy to be invaded, no one wants you to inconvenience them.. so dont expect to stay in someone's house for more than 3 months unless they are your parents or close blood relatives.. even at that before 3 months is up.. Berra find your own place and get yourself a car.
