I feel we ignore the link between us and Yorubas in the Caribbean and South America too often.

Respect to the man.
I think many people just don't know, especially since whites have worked hard to drive a wedge between us.

There's already a bunch moving all over Africa. They all express that while they've faced challenges (because they have no family there and don't know how to do certain things), they feel so at peace, so welcomed, and so satisfied.

There's also history of successful repatriation over decades.

However, these are progressive people...

Domestic violence is common in Asia. They don't consider it wrong or bad. Law enforcement, communities, and families don't do anything to protect women. Women are so brainwashed in their cultures that they don't see their mistreatment or status in society in general as wrong/bad. They're only mildly better than the middle east.

Getting the certificates is very easy, but getting jobs is very hard. 6 years ago my bestie and I embarked on this path, she went to SA for the Celta training did very well and got certified, when it was time for job hunts she was refused so many times. Guess what, an insider told us that if they are presented with a native speaker of English language with an O level and a Nigerian with a degree, they will always choose the native speaker.
I don't believe you.

Also, I have to warn everyone about the work scams that happen there. The US even had a travel advisory about this prior to Chinese flu. People would take jobs, and then their documents were seized once they got them in some village. They were basically enslaved. There's a lot of mafia in the country, so I'm sure that's where some of it comes from.

Please stop going to places like this when you definitely have better options. We see over and over that it's not safe or desirable.

Its not a bad place afterall and you can work legally even as student after your ist 6 months of coming and having a good grades.
The only work they have for Africans or black people is mainly factories. And they deliberately choose foreigners for dangerous jobs. They don't treat their own people well, and everyone is a miserable alcoholic, so I don't know what makes anyone think they'll roll out the red carpet for foreigners. They don't even like white people. They curse white people as they're walking down the street and teach their children to hate them. They think any white woman they see is a Russian h***er.

They're very racist, and just unpleasant and stupid people in general. You probably won't get into fist fights, but they're about as fun as a thorny bush. They don't even have laws against discrimination, of any kind.

If you have enough money, you can invest and obtain a business visa.
There are far better places to go if you have the money to invest in a business. And those places are more welcoming and easier to navigate. I don't even see a person doing well running a business there, especially since they despise foreigners. The exception would be a millionaire.

There's little if any value in a Korean education. No one will care. There's really no reason to go there. There's so many better options, places where you'll enjoy your lifestyle and the local people and culture far more.

Other than that, their food is pretty bad. And I'm sorry, but their women are not attractive.

There's a thread on this forum for this if you're wondering how it's possible to migrate through a minimum wage job:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/caregivers.html

As a caregiver, you have options to come to Canada to become a permanent resident or work temporarily.

Permanent residence for caregivers
Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot

As of June 18, 2019, you may be able to apply for permanent residence through the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or Home Support Worker Pilot if you:

meet the eligibility requirements, and
have a job offer to work in one of these occupations

Through these pilots, you’ll get an open work permit to come to Canada and work temporarily. This work permit:

is occupation-restricted (so you have to work in that specific occupation)

doesn’t need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

lets you get the work experience you need to be eligible for permanent residence
Educate yourself about your options before you believe some idiot, or fix your mouth to say something stupid. Have a wonderful day! wink

TravelRe: Teaching English In Latin America by Cousin9999(op): 4:52pm On Oct 02, 2020

I was once interested in this path, some years ago. But I found out that you must have English as your first language before you are even considered. If English is your second language, you will need some English teaching certificates and it's usually very hard to secure but not impossible. Things might be different now though, let me grab a seat and wait for other inputs.
You don't need to have English as your first language to be considered. English teaching certificates are not hard or expensive.

Latin America is one region where generally speaking, citizenship from a native English speaking country is not as much of a factor in determining whether you can get hired to teach English. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and Peru are some of the best places to start.

However, you will need a TESOL, TEFL, or CELTA certificate to teach just about anywhere in Latin America. Many employers will accept an online TEFL Certificate, but the best option is generally an in-country, in-person certification course that includes job search assistance.

Look at jobs and our guide to teaching in Central America and South America.

I highly recommend doing CELTA online and doing the in-person portion in South Africa or another approved African location.

Minimum wage doesn't tell the whole story.

In some countries the cost of living is barely anything. You can enjoy a good standard of living (by western standards) without feeling like you're constantly being robbed, or stressing about expenses.
TravelRe: Why Go Abroad And Never Come Back? by Cousin9999: 4:26pm On Oct 02, 2020
Some of them are coconuts.

Some of them have had so many bad experiences that they just can't do it.

Some of them truly can't spare the time or money.

Some don't really understand the value of doing that and what they can achieve.

Some have been taken advantage of by family back home.

Some have heard horror stories, and think they can't.

It's not for everyone. And you have to remember that you can't expect the world from everyone. Every person isn't built for carrying a community on their back. You also have to remember that most, even people who have never set foot in Nigeria, give to family. That alone injects so much money and opportunity into the country. Let's not be greedy or put more pressure on people to do more than they feel they can. Let's just give love and support, and uplift our people.

It depends on the individual and their circumstances.

You can argue that some people are lazy, and going abroad won't do much for them.

You can argue that some people are doing everything right, and they just need an opportunity to get ahead.

You can argue that some people will only be able to progress by leaving.

You can also argue that foreigners from all over the world get rich in Nigeria. Very rich. And there's nothing remarkable about these people or what they do.
Foreign AffairsChinese Spreading Malaria And Chikungunya Fever In Africa by Cousin9999(op): 1:28pm On Oct 01, 2020
Africa has just months to react to an invasive malaria mosquito that thrives in cities, before the situation escalates beyond control, experts warn.

Scientists predict that more than 125 million city dwellers across Africa will face a higher malaria risk from a type of Asian mosquito that is quickly moving across the continent.

The rapid rise in cases of chikungunya in urban areas of the Republic of Chad is of concern, suggesting a 'heavy vector (mosquito) load,' reported the World Health Organization (WHO).

Foreign AffairsChinese And Canadians Killing Wildlife In Zimbabwe And Botswana by Cousin9999(op): 1:18pm On Oct 01, 2020
Zimbabwe has attributed the deaths of 34 elephants to bacteria, joining neighboring Botswana, which ended six months of speculation when it found that over 330 of the animals had died after drinking water contaminated with cyanobacteria.

Zimbabwe has the world’s second-biggest elephant population after Botswana.

Zimbabwe has banned mining in all its national parks, reversing a decision to let Chinese firms explore for coal at its famous Hwange game park.

The move came after campaigners took the government to court to prevent "ecological degradation" in parks.
