Sorry for the delay guys I was gonna write more, but my girlfriend runs a club, and some Nigerian guys were fighting there this morning so she called me crying, I had to run down to see what was going on... expect and update Soon... I know my story is boring but thanks for taking time to read

Okay.....life as an African/Nigerian.
The mistake so many of Us Nigerians make when leaving Nigeria is that we are always too lazy to make proper research about our destination. We always rely on what we are told by our few friends who has been there or who are there. In a long run when you get there you realize not all the things they tell u are the way they are, they only told u that based on the way they feel things are in their own perspective. So everything I will be writing here is how I see things from my own view and they might not be same for everybody.
Living here as an African you need to first understand that nobody likes you, everyone thinks you’re local and stupid from a poor village, so you’re left with 2 choices Deny where you’re from if you can, or be like me claim Africa with your full chest and use every opportunity to Educate people u come across. It’s not easy living here as an African, cos you’d have to deal with all kinds of subtle hates and racism, but you have to zero your mind to all this things and go after what you came for. You need to know there are clubs where Africans aren’t allowed in you need to know there are places people will stare at you so much you’d get seriously angry, and then you need to learn to live with all this if you really want to survive.
On the plus side as an African you have so much opportunities here, (Business wise), unlike Europeans and Americans who knows so much about copy things,
Africans do not care, and whatever you’re looking for this people can make, as long as you find someone reliable back home that can sell. You in for a big moment.
Same way there are bad/ stupid people, there are also very kind and Nice people, you just have to be patient and treat everyone with respect.
One last thing I’d like to point out is that, our brothers in the past have not really represented us properly and they’ve don’t so many stupid things in the eyes of this people which is why most of them do not respect and would hardly trust us, but believe me if you can gain the trust of a Chinese person, they don’t mind giving u whatever u want as long as it benefits them too.....
I have a lot more to write, please manage this for now

I have seen all your mentions and questions, and I will attend to them, But please not now. There is a way I want this Thread to Run,
I want to talk about 6 things here in china
And they are as follow

1,Life as an African/Nigerian
2, technological advancements and transportation systems
3, the people of china and how they live/l
4, COVID 19, it’s impact and how china managed it
5, What to Have at the back of your mind before coming to china
6, Lastly Floods of pictures/ stories

After all this we can then ask questions and tell me whatever you want me to talk about..
Please I’d love if we can do it this way so, I don’t get lazy answering all questions and trying to update about life as it goes. Thank you very much
1 more update will come in little while from now

Gotta be honest, china wasn’t even the 5th choice country I wanted to travel to, but I just needed to get out of Nigeria after so many failed attempts and the link I saw to china looked very easy and straight so I had to take it. But trust me being here for the past 1year and Nine months, I have never for one day regretted the decision I made coming to china. It’s really fun and eye opening.
One of the first lessons I learnt here is the fact that most people don’t like Africans, And even worse if you’re Nigerian. But who cares? As long as you’re getting what you came to look for, you shouldn’t be bothered.
In this beautiful country I have met some of the most amazing people on earth and as well I have met some of the most stupid humans you can ever think off.
One very important thing I need to tell anyone reading this, Asia countries are one of the easiest places to make money if you’re smart Hard working and you’re arrive here legally, forget Europe, Canada and America those places to me are really better of when you have enough money already and you’re just seeking for a better life in a sane world.
Living in china opened my eyes to so many things I never thought was actually very easy, and these are the things I want to share with you guys as this thread goes on
PS: china is one of the easiest Country to travel to, but certainly not for Nigerians, even countries as poor as Niger, it takes them relatively 1week to get a Chinese visa, and they don’t even need an agent to apply for them.... I know my story isn’t fun but bear with me, I nor sabi write nah manage I Dey...

Okay I’m back.. typing.........

Been living in china for the past 2 years, and it’s been both Good, bad and everything.. I have been trying to create a this thread to talk about life and experiences in this country for a while now, I just didn’t know how to start. Well today I’m feeling good, so maybe we’ll do it today. I honestly don’t know how to wintry and I’m very lazy so please try as much as possible to bear with me.

ceaser:
Really I don't think Acunon will mind this. You earlier put the caveat that it was an irresistible offer so it already puts the disclaimer that it was lucky awoof. If anyone thinks Acunon will because of that give his prices on offer for awoof too, good luck to the person.

So that, even when broke, you'll still be to look like you*

I hope she's learned her lesson, cos it seems there was no Plan B as regards her funds.

Fame can be so heady and fleeting at the same time.

Pray she pulls through this phase tho. It's well.

you see how girls can be quick to bash the fellow girls?

TreasureTayo:
Really? so with Namibian passport, UK is Visa free for 6months? The almighty UK?
Nigeria Why

JustEdward:
Hmm oh you’re just knowing today or you have known before? Anyway sha let me pretend that you have known before! If you’re single make sure you don’t give birth to this country! Our parents made that mistake . So let’s not make it to our unborn children . Nigeria is death and can’t and will never be good.

Make money come to 9Ja and enjoy it

Just so you know, Namibian passport can visit the Uk and all it’s crown dependencies for 6months without visa....... Nigeria is cursed

GreenKalada:
Thanks allot. I recently met a very beautiful Ghanian lady via Instagram and she has offered to help me with accommodation and also give me the best business idea to succeed in Accra. I will be relocating to Ghana after the lockdown.

be careful

Mizwisdom:
That's the negative part of Ivory Coast which they may not tell you. Apart from things being very expensive, I don't see any other negativity except language barrier. So just hold enough money and you're good to go....
