Is Rwanda a tourist place?

How can I apply for ther visa and how much is the flight ticket from Lagos.

Another thing I want to ask, can I travel to Rwanda or Kenya from Ghana?

You can travel to anywhere from anywhere.

Go to Kenya. You will enjoy Nairobi. It has this western touch like South Africa as well. Beautiful country.

@Lionessza6,
Let’s leave that abeg, every nation have some unpalatable past, it’s not peculiar to South Africa. Nigeria does too.
If given the opportunity, I’ll prefer living in South Africa than Nigeria.....in areas like Sandton where I stayed in jo’burg, or camps bay in capetown.

Please, I’m more interested in the issue I wrote in bold letters in my first response, SERIOUSLY cool

I sent you a PM. Please reply.

And you feel comfortable being surrounded by such people ? . Is Nigeria with no violent history not the best option for you guys?I'm asking this genuinely btw.

oh well, I’m quoting what a tour guide stated when I visited recently. That’s asides the interactions I had with some natives.
I wouldn’t have dared enter those areas without a guide.
We just drove by some places without stopping, because we were told ‘anything can happen’.

Every country has a past.

That aside, South Africa is a very beautiful and organized country, more beautiful than Nigeria( Patrotism aside).
I will visit again wink

How could I have forgotten this: I love your babes, with their huge backside . I’m still single and searching, maybe you could be of help here .

It is a beautiful country but its "soul" needs deliverance from all the past evils that are haunting the people that live there who use liquor, promiscuity, rape and violence to camouflage.

This is deep. But I think you are correct. They have a violent past that is hunting them.

Go to Zanzibar or Seychelles or Mauritius, forget South Africa, it is not what it used to be. You are just giving them free money to put into their economy so they can fund their welfare programs.

No, went by air. I'm thinking you could go by train. It might be quite a distance travelling by road. It was almost 2 hours (1:55min) by air.

Don't go into any venture because everyone is going into, go into it because you want to go into it and learn how it works.

The first thing is knowledge, information, education and personal research.

I prefer staying in my area of comfort and competence, before making a gradual diversification.

I will advise you to buy money market funds or bonds, you can then use invest the interest and coupon in shares, before then ask the relevant questions from those who know, make good use of the internet for relevant information and knowledge.

I have been in treasury bills, and MMF, for at least, 8 years now. All my funds have been in MMF for the past two years. Used to receive an average of 8-10k per day from MMF 2-3 months ago, now it has reduced to 5.5k.
I want to play around stock with some little money, I’m not even collecting any funds from MMF.
Want to see how I can diversify.

Start small with about 10k, learn and grow.

Little drops of water make the big ocean.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a step.

I lost my first 2M I saved when I start working to shares in 2008. Ever since then, I have stayed far from it.
Now, I’m willing to play with it, starting small like you adviced.
Please, how do I know which and which shares to buy, and when to buy and sell off?

What critical skill do you possess? And do you’ve over 2years Work experience in it?
Are you in the STEM field?
Do you’ve aspirations in furthering through professional/higher degrees like a PhD for example?

If at least one of these is on the positive, you can kick start migration plans.

Don’t be deceived, these are only the vital options of living in SA legally, no marriage with any SA lady can guarantee this.

me sef, Nigeria don confuse me. I studied chemical engineering, but I’ve been working in a bank now for over 10years. Will be willing to go for further studies if that’s a route. No masters yet, though.
What are my chances?

��..You don dey think of Migration already when you haven't even seen a quarter of Capetown.

Go to Camps Bay or Bantry Bay and experience premium quality life, e go be like say you dey America: Sea Point, Mowbray, Rondebosch, Waterfont, Table mountain.

If you are a wine lover and could spare a day to yourself visit Stellenbosch.

Cheers man!

I passed through camps bay yesterday was just shouting Jesus under my breath. The place fine die. The scenery is out of this world.

Visited the botanical garden, birds and monkey sanctuary, and one other place in Hout Bay.

I hope to visit as many places as possible before I leave. In fact, I’m spoilt for choice.

I booked a five days tour ticket, with about 70 attractions to see.

Abeg, where the blacks dey? I hardly see blacks. I see mostly whites and colored people, except when I visited one shanty part today on tour.
I’m beginning to think that the population of whites and other races in South Africa are more than the blacks

Their clubs on long street are like European clubs with whites everywhere. I’m not getting the vibes I got in Nairobi, as per clubbing.

If I had known, I would have come to Cape Town straight , instead of stopping in jo’burg for 3 days.

As per migration, Make una find me one Southy chick to marry. grin

. I can take care of her.
