Absolutely! Their anyhow, lawless and corrupt way of life is catching up with them where ever they go and they are lamenting on social media. cheesy

The woman who came to social media to lament is not even telling the truth typical Naigeerian she should have started by telling the truth
They'll do anything to chase clout.

Why should she provide proof? Like she can't name her child any name without prove of what exactly. Its your kind that justify Britain asking us Nigerian they colonized and makes English our officials language to go and get proof of English if you want to travel through educational route.
An average Nigerian can't speak properly. This nation is backed by highscale irregularities. People buy certificates. You need to see a rejection letter issued by the Swedish embassy to a Nigerian claiming even the authenticity of certificates can't be validated because it can be bought. Is that a lie? Hello no!.


If she does not like the rules of Denmark which every citizen follows, she can come back to her country that is lawless where people like you enjoy the dysfunctional government.

They want proof. A working system that documents processes. All you have to do is provide the proof and it will be in the system.

You're from Africa, so is the name Ebuka. William is western, and they've had these for centuries. All you had to do is do the right thing, but no! As a typical Nigerian, you set up your phone's camera to lament. That's why I avoid Nigerian and Afriacn girls in Europe. Very useless creatures

Who made the international relations? Same colonial masters?

What’s the official language of Germany? Is English a priority?

What’s the whole country about? English?

Just look into the mirror, the slow person is there.
Arabic is still the main language of Algeria just as Deutsch is the main language of Germans, and Dutch is the main language of Netherlands citizens. These Nations learn English from primary school equivalent of ours until high school.Same for Sweden, Norway etc. Algeria has been doing the same by teaching French as a second language, and now they've Introduced English.

Most of you don't know how a working nation operates and you therefore argue out of ignorance.

Dunces!

Why not adopt your own native language!

China, Saudi, Oman, UAE, Russia, Germany, France, UK and the likes did not need to adopt a language. They accepted and propagated what they have!

You dumped French and adopted English like you still not speaking the language of your colonial masters.
Germans learn English in school. They're more fluent than literally every Nigerian university graduate. English is the language on an international stage. You're actually slow to realise its a leverage for international relations

That was the plan. USA in the long run, the best country in the world
I think I've changed my mind from wanting to go to the US. I'll rather take the EU passport and have mobility across Switzerland, nordic nations and mainland europe. Or maybe go to Canada or maybe Australia.

In Europe, there's almost zero chance the police will shoot you for false identity or threating to shoot for reaching. Even if they use force, they almost never kill. As much as America is great, police harassment is something I can't handle. So nahh, EU it is

While you write this out what the AFD is doing in consideration.
The AFD are only strong in eatern germany. A region that has less industries, and historically were separate from western Germany which was prosperous. They don't have federal might(yet), and even if they win a state as they did in Saxon Anhalt, they need a coalition to run a government. That means most of their schemes won't work because the other coalition parties will strike most of their plans in parliament.


The goal is to avoid East germany, get PR, citizenship and be eligible to go to any EU country to work in the future.

It would also be easier to move to the USA with an EU passport

Preach...

What about the trucking/forklift route i told him about. What is your take
He has to pass the driving licence test. Passing it is one of the hardest in the world, and he needs atleast B2 to confidently do so. If he can do it, of course he will be a big boy because it pays handsomely. Germany is actually a great country, but without minimum of B2, one's chances of excellence is very low

You have made so many points which are very correct. I have had friends and acquaintances who left because of these issues. And honestly, these are some of the things I had in mind, hence wanting to leave.

I’m unmarried though, and that has been a disadvantage. I could have sent her as student elsewhere while I accompany her as dependent leading to a smooth transition.

Also about UK, from my research, the only viable course I can do there may be nursing so I can meet up with the new salary threshold, it’s on my list but quite expensive and time consuming.

The discrimination in schools and in career is quite obvious here. In one of the Afro groups I belong to, several mothers always complain about how their kids are treated at school and other adults complain bitterly also about workplace subtle harassment etc.

I prefer to be in a place where I can express myself confidently and if possible grow to the acme of my career, and where my kids and family would be welcomed and mostly happy. These are some considerations why I want to leave if possible and it must be to an English speaking country.

Language is the soul and key to any country. It’s usually underrated but I know better now.
The only reason I stayed after my masters was because I studied Electrical engineering, with a concentration in the semiconductor industry. Even in Germany, it is widely an English speaking sector because of the multinational supply chain. So almost all chip design or verification engineer roles are English based. Now that I wanna start a family too, I'll leave Germany after 1 year to either UK(If I get Global talent) or Canada if I get a Job from here.

That's because by then I would be a citizen, and mobility would be easy.

Most peole dont know this, but Germany is predominantly a white country. Out of 84m in germany, around 70m are ethnic Germans, while the other 11m are Turkish, middle Eastern. Blacks are very scarce compared to the population in Deutschland.

That's why even if you do well and land good cooperate jobs, you'll hardly see your kind.

This is majorly because Germany was historically not a colony, and did not have slave residents too. So people of color are not common.

As much as it's a better nation in the long run to Canada and the UK, it's not a place to raise children for black people. Your kids will face discrimination

Confusedhamburg:
Well bro, thanks for your insight. You sound like someone who lives here as well.
Initially I didn’t plan to stay here, due to some discrimination tendencies I noticed when I first arrived. I was thinking beyond myself and how my future family would cope here.
Later on I decided to stay back.
The thing is I find it very hard to learn new languages. I tried then dropped out. Did some certifications in Salesforce and hoped to get a job, work two years, get pr and then learn the language gradually to b1/b2, the get citizenship.
Somehow since last year, the job market has been brutal.
I understand your advice though because starting afresh won’t be easy hence I’m trying to be double sure before I move anywhere.
I'll Advise you move if learning a new language is difficult for you. Don't raise a family in Germany if you or your wife don't speak C1 deutsch. This is why:

Germany has a school system where kids are separated by academic strength before they go to high-school. Only top performers are put in a track that leads to a university study. Majority go to vocational schools which is why ausbildung is a thing in Germany. Unless you're not a high achiever this path will only get you "comfortable " in the long run but won't get you to top positions to reach peak salaries in germany. That's why many people go for ausbildung, because its easy to be "stable", but you won't peak financially.

The reason most kids of immigrants don't end up in high corporate careers is because the parents are not versed in the language, so they can't assist with homework. There are outliers though, if your kids are born geniuses. What's the chances of that?


The UK is very unstable. Don't listen to any advise to go via study route. You studied economics, and you're over forty. That means it's almost impossible to do a masters in the UK and get a job that pays the £41000 needed for COS.


So as I said earlier, only look for paths that lead to PR. Overall, the EU is still the most liberal place regarding immigration paths

The AFD just won the state election at Saxony-anhalt. As a student, wisdom is of the essence to avoid universities and cities in that state. The hostile and pro Nazi nature of the AFD might not be conducive for foreigners. Be wise.

Cities like Magdeburg, Halle should be avoided

Hi all. My name is Sydney and I’m a Nigerian living in Hamburg. I need advice on next course of action for my life. I came to Germany from Nigeria some 6 years ago for my masters. I finished finally in 2025 after so many ups and downs. I couldn’t find a professional job afterwards and my visa expires this year end, although I’m finding ways of renewing for few extra months by telling them I couldn’t find job. I’m 40 unmarried but fortunately has been able to save around 60m naira.
Please, I need the OGs in the house to advice me on a good English speaking country I can relocate to which will be my final bus stop as I’m tired of moving around.
Although I acknowledge I made a mistake here by not learning the language (I’m in A2 but can barely speak). I’m thinking of Canada but not too certain. My background is in a business course / economics (bachelors second class lower).
I’m still doing research though but I need people who have been in my shoes to kindly advise. I can barely sleep, thinking about next steps. I work and save around 900 euros monthly but it’s not a professional job and very stressful.
Thanks.
Some major realities:

1. You're forty, don't make the mistake of leaving germany for another study route. Your 37k euros saved should be used for a permanent option.

2. You really did messed up not getting atleast B2 after 6 years. Lager is never the way.

3. Immigration polices are changing daily and becoming brutal. Germany still offers one of the most stable options. With your 6 years stay, you already qualify for citizenship if you can just get a professional job for one year. If I were you, I'll drop that lager, and then invest the next 6 months for fulltime deutsch starting from A2 to B2.2(Aim for C1.1 if your A2 is strong). With these, you can easily get a job and you won't have problems with auslanderbehorde.

Brother, Canada, USA are not stable right now. Forget the UK. Besides the English aspect, you'll regret leaving germany for the UK on every metric. Only the language is the difference. If you can trust the process for stability with that deutsch path, I promise you, it will be the best investment. DON'T GO TO ANOTHER WESTERN NATION UNLESS ITS VIA PR.

Nigeria is not getting off that list anytime soon. India used to have a free pass, now their rejection rate has gone so high and they're considering other options too.

Even first world countries are no longer finding it appealing, they would lose revenue from non-refundable visa fees tho, maybe not so significant but I am sure that also contributes to the VO's pay check, embassy operations, security e.t.c.
I actually checked to see what's the estimated number from the 75 nations, and it's like 46% of US visa applications(around 300k applications). Let's assume the average applications cost $340, you're looking at a revenue stream of around 100mil usd. For a nation that has close to 5 trillion yearly budget, trust me they've done their calculations and feasibility studies.

The war in Venezuela and the current easy flow of oil was both a security and economic move by Trump.

The US doesn't mind filling that gap with Asians who we both know are taken in a higher caste than us.

I wish as citizens, we can read the world this way and start getting competitive industrial wise so we command respect in such negotiations.

The whole western world is becoming selective. Truth be told, they stand nothing to lose if all the 75 countries currently blocked are denied entry into the US.

Trump made a statement earlier this year "Why can't we have people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark". The "far right " as the media tend to refer to conservatives all over the west these days are leaning towards selective migration. That's what made them have their kind of society today.

So yeah, many third world citizens will however not find the US appealing anytime soon

May God bless you @ TWoods. I can't fathom why someone will just lost all hope in the reformation or emancipation of his country of origin from bad leaders and keep praising the Western countries who are 200 years older than Nigeria .

Yet these nagative propagandist keep giving birth to children 😀 When you say Nigeria can never be good are you not indirectly cursing your children or the unborn children ?

Let us adopt the slogan of " God Bless Nigeria .
Every square market day, you people complain about "bad leaders." Last time i checked, it is Nigerian individuals you encounter at government offices, airport staff, or polling unit officials. The average Nigerian can be desperately wicked and mischievous, which is ultimately reflected in the leadership. You all continue to blame the leaders as though they are aliens.

There is a reason why, out of all the Black nations on Earth, none are developed, nor perhaps, ever will be. You continue to play the blame game as if nations like China, India, Singapore, and Korea have not also faced colonization in their history.

Even in 2026, you are still blaming the leadership. Africa, and Nigeria in particular, has a fundamental cultural problem rooted in insincerity, mischief, and moral decadence, which is evidenced by the series of fraud and criminal cases in the West.

Thankfully, only a few members of the Black race fall outside of this shameful cultural circle. Unfortunately, because it is difficult to initially distinguish between individuals, the downfall of Western society is being accelerated by the influx of our people and those from similar cultural backgrounds in the Middle East, such as Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This is evidenced by the fact that almost every slum and ghetto is populated by these demographics, a truth we refuse to tell ourselves.

So please, stop the blame game and start realizing that the Black race, as a whole, simply cannot run a society. Oh, and do not worry about my children as they are not from around here. It reveals a lot about your character that you would bring children into this discussion which only solidifies my point about culture.

Amen. It shouldn’t have taken this long. I blame Tinubu and APC
If i was white, I'll also ban or enforce strict and tough immigration measures for black and middle Eastern people.

All getto places in the west today, from Europe to America and Australia are majorly caused by these ethnicities. You might not like what Trump is doing, but j wish black people will have envy for their nations like this.

Ghana was on the list in June or July and was removed from the ban by September. That's how productive government negotiations with the US can be. Turkmenistan also got their non-immigrant visa ban lifted within months of diplomatic talks. Nigeria is apparently addressing US security concerns. US troops and drones are in Nigeria now. So I STRONGLY believe Nigeria will be removed from the ban by June this year.
With the recent massacre in Jos, the war in Iran solidifying trumps claim to tighter borders and BAT's growing moves to appease regions for 2027 moves, it's obvious Nigeria is not getting off that list this year.

Nigeria has no benefits to the USA in any regard whatsoever, and POTUS has three years with no reelection, so he has nothing to lose.
