I say this with love. Please stop going to the middle east. Please stop going to Asia in general. I don't want to see my people suffering. This is not right. |
That sounds really cool, but do your research. It might be a challenging place for the average person, but if you research and plan, you might be able to make it work. You have an advantage as an engineer, especially since many people probably don't see Gabon as a destination for settling. Off the top of my head, NGOs may be interested in you. Starting a business would be good, however, I think it would need very solid footing. You need to really know exactly what niche you will work in, and know it's strong, and understand intimately how to work within it. Basically, I don't believe that market is for small or inexperienced traders. If you do this, please update us and share your experience. Gabon is beautiful. And their women are lovely (wow). |
Of all the places to go, he chose that crack den. |
I wonder if she really did it, or if her husband forced her to take the fall. |
I don't want to be negative, but men and women have a tendency to think a certain way about money. He may feel emasculated and cheat, and then divorce her. She may look at him as less of a man, and then disrespect him, and maybe cheat too. Her intentions are beautiful, but I think women should consider carefully before doing this. Instead of buying him a car, give him seed money for a business. Buy business equipment or rent space for a business. Finance his med school or law school. |
Good topic. |
rottenPussy:lol |
Good info. |
I doubt that. |
I doubt they're competing directly (serve different needs). Even if they are, there's certainly room for both. |
Maputo (and Luanda) look sort of like Brazil, but nicer. |
It's beautiful. Really. |
There's a nursing shortage throughout the Caribbean. If you're not quite ready to go to the US or UK, it could be a stepping stone, or you just might decide to settle there. |
In The Long Run Idris Elba's show |
The channel I got this stuff from has a lot of great videos. It's pretty thorough and includes walking tours of shopping, tourist stuff, and etc. There's also a bunch of videos showing what appears to be a lot of new construction, spanning everything from apartment buildings to police stations, roads, commercial buildings, and more. |
They're either uneducated, or jealous and determined to make you out to be a bad person. They could just be dumb. |
I doubt this will be good like Idris Elba's charming show. It will probably be littered with racist propaganda and nonsense that black Americans like. |
Gonna watch these at some point: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6878306/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10016180/ |
Fake story. |

https://qz.com/africa/1940996/kenyas-elite-like-wealthy-nigerians-buying-caribbean-passports/ Kenya’s elite join a growing list of Africans buying up second passports from Caribbean nations With a growing number of Western Countries including the US, UK and the European Union tightening their immigration and visa polices, citizens of African countries are finding it harder to travel abroad. Given the odds, global residence and citizenship advisory firms like Henley & Partners and CS Global Partners are seeing a surge of wealthy Africans interested in acquiring citizenship of a second country in exchange for a sizable financial contribution to the passport host country’s economy in a process termed “citizenship by investment.” In the 12 months to November, Kenya saw a growth in enquiries about citizenship by investment of 116% according to Henley & Partners. Kenya’s wealthy elite have been quietly taking advantage of the CBI programs particularly with the small Caribbean island nations of Dominica and St. Kitts & Nevis. “The Caribbean offers a luxurious lifestyle combined with accessibility which appeals to many Kenyan entrepreneurs, business owners, and those wanting a better life for their family,” says CS Global Partners chief executive Micha Emmett in a press statement. “What perhaps used to be seen as an unconventional avenue to obtain a second passport is now highly sought after.” Emmett added. Currently, Kenyan nationals can access just over 65 countries without a visa, mostly in Africa and Asia. Traveling with a Kenyan passport requires a visa prior to travel with 136 countries. In contrast, the country’s wealthy citizens who are acquiring second passports have a much greater advantage when it comes to doing business, vacation, or simply acquiring a second home abroad. A Kenyan citizen, for example, who also gains Dominica citizenship would be able to travel visa-free to 140 countries including many jurisdictions in the Americas, Europe, and Asia than their countrymen with just a Kenyan passport. CS Global describes the second passport as a “Plan B”. There has been such high demand from wealthy South Africans and Nigerians for CBI programs that Henley opened an office in Lagos this year. It also has offices in Cape Town and Johannesburg. A review of the several options on offer in different countries shows prospective applicants must be ready to part with $150,000 to more than $3 million. The figure can be higher depending on the wishes of the applicant, their dependents, and the requirements of the host country. Meanwhile, the number of Kenyans with the financial muscle to consider the option is projected to grow. Kenya’s super-wealthy with a net worth of more than $30 million is forecast to grow by 14%, while those with at least a $1 million is projected to grow by 13% from 2,900 to 3,369 in the next four years. Countries in the Caribbean, for example, are offering prospective beneficiaries options such as in real estate where an applicant buys a state approved property and holds it for a specified period of time or nonrefundable cash contributions to the respective funds of the countries offering. Ironically, the Kenyan government has also looked at selling citizenship boost state coffers. Under Kenya’s proposed model, investors would get permanent residency on fulfilling the requirements including a reported minimum investment threshold of approximately $200,000. Successful applicants will automatically be eligible for Kenyan citizenship or passport after two to three years. In contrast, the average turnaround among the major players in this space is six to 18 months. |
