Friend, I’m from the United States (my husband is Nigerian). So yes I work full-time. Europe is a beautiful country and Prague is one destination that is less expensive then let’s say Paris for example (which I have I also visited).

My goal is to simply share my travel experience/journey with you, and not offend.

I’ve also visited your beautiful country back in 2017 (I stayed in Lagos at the Federal Palace). I will be sharing my experiences on my social media platforms and encouraging others (especially African Americans) to consider visiting Nigeria for their next vacation. I think Nigeria gets easily overlooked, but has a lot of potential and much to offer!

Take care and be well my friend!

i appreciate you for your view on my country

No doubt a number of places in Africa are naturally alluring, aesthetic and all that. Aside from few cities in South Africa and in North Africa can you name one country or city in sub saharan Africa that is as beautiful as The Czech Republic in terms of architecture, preserved edifices, good road networks...? My dream is to see Africa fully developed. But while I'm dreaming that dream I should be able to unabashedly say that another country is more beautiful than mine.

inferior complexity is it a must africa arvhitect must look like european own does dubai japan quatar or any asia country have the same architect as europe but yet they are way more beautiful than most country in europe

OnlyDeCapPlease:

nice thread

Prodigee:
The fvcking stark truth! Nigerians tend to be abnormal and not conform to the rule of law. It's a damn shame. Our system is so rotten and immoral that it breeds and encourages criminal acts and social vices. A Nigerian will travel out but the bad Nigerian in him will always manifest. It's pathetic to say the least. Everyday one realizes that there is only one hell; and it's Nigeria.

oboy cause the criminal dont cause nigrria

after they will say poland are racist

Omojayejaye:
I will strongly advice against schooling or living in Mother Russia. Smart people actually prefer living in those aforementioned small EU countries. It's likewise cheap to live there but with somewhat less opportunities ( East Europe factor)
Access to about 28 countries. Also you can use PR obtained from those small countries in prosperous Eu Nations like Germany, Netherlands etc. Massive opportunity !!! Russians need visa to be in EU countries.
Be wise.

you are right those skinhead in russia have polical backup best bet is eu dont go country cause is cheap but quality over quantity

ariketalks:

Romanoff:
Do you know that being a Nigerian makes you more likely to die than this shallow deep stream can kill you?

hypocrite

I was on a flight to Nova Scotia on which I met Chiasoka, a Nigerian international student, living in St. John’s. She was studying nursing, having graduated in engineering. We began discussing our parents’, albeit, rigorous but potent parenting methodologies. Coming from a Caribbean family, education in my family is celebrated at every stride, regardless how minutia the feat may be. My parents have insisted on being part of every ceremony that celebrated my scholastic performance, may it be a Dean’s list reception, kindergarten mini- graduation service or my undergraduate graduation ceremony. And every chance they had to express my academic attainment to their friends and family, they would do so. Whereas, for Chiasoka, certain academic achievements were nothing, but expected. Therefore, they were not worthy to be praised, let alone, noted. So much so that her mother refused to attend her graduation ceremony. She did not perceive her daughter’s academic accomplishment as an exploit, despite being among the top 10 percent of her graduating class. It was, in her mother’s eyes, the bare minimum that was expected from her. “Until I earn a post-graduate degree, I will have to content myself with a family-less graduation ceremony” she confessed. For many westerners, such attitude toward one’s accomplishment would be perceived as callous and sadistic, at best. Yet, for Chiasoka, it is what fueled her, knowing that more is expected as the sky is far from being the limit. And every time she meets or exceeds an expectation, she would, with zeal and valor, vied the next echelon. Though crude, this “high expectation attitude” that Nigerian parents have toward their children in everything they undertake is very much conventional in Nigerian households, and part of the rationale, explaining the success of the Nigerian-American diaspora. A’s, and nothing but A’s Now that I think of it, the Nigerian friends that I made in university, all of them, excepted for one, was on the Dean’s list. Subsequently, many of them won several awards and accolades for their academic achievements. They all winded up working for reputable firms or being accepted at competitive post- graduate programs. Buzzfeed.com — High Academic achievement is compulsory in an African household, not an alternative. Education is indeed paramount to everything in Nigerian households. So much so that there is ubiquitous aphorism within the Nigerian community which asserts that the best inheritance that a parent can give to their children is not jewelry nor any other material things, but it is a good education. The best inheritance that a parent can give to their children is not jewelry nor any other materials things, but it is a good education. Such regard for higher education helps to explain why Nigerian-Americans are more likely to be educated than the average American. Indeed, Nigerian-Americans have more post-graduate degrees than any other racial or ethnic groups. Albeit, they represent a minutia portion of the U.S. population, 37 percent of them hold a bachelor’s degree and 17 percent a master’s. 29 percent of Nigerian- Americans aged 25 and plus, have a graduate degree, compared to 11 percent of the US population. Nigerian accounts for less than 1 percent of the black population in the United States, yet, they make up nearly 25 percent of all Black students at Harvard Business School. It comes to no surprise that Nigerian-Americans’ achievements in the world of education top any other U.S. immigrant groups, including Asian- Americans. Today, a growing number of Nigerian-Americans are entrepreneurs, CEOs and founders of tech companies across the U.S. and abroad. “You must be a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, or a Disgrace to the family…” Nigerian parents also tend to push their children into profitable but arduous careers such as medicine, engineering and law. Recently, Harvard University elected the first black woman to be president of the Harvard Law Review. This black woman happens to be Nigerian, and her name is Imelme A. Umana. Hence why the median annual income of Nigerian diaspora household, according to the Migration Policy Institute, is about $ 52,000, slightly higher than the average $50,000 in the US. They are also more likely to be counted in the higher income brackets as 35% of Nigerian- American households earn the US $90,000 per year. Imelme A. Umana, Nigerian-American, became the first Black woman to be elected as president of the Harvard Law Review. Image from Face2FaceAfrica.com “Artistic Nigerian-Americans” is a thing! Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Image from the Harvard Crimson. Even those who don’t adhere to such career choices, also exhibit high success in their fields and are expected to do by their elders. For instance, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a Nigerian- American novelist, Yale graduate, and author of the New York Time Best Selling, Americanah, was listed in 2015 in Time Magazine as one of “the 100 Most Influential People”. And Tomy Adeyemi, Nigerian-American, Harvard graduate, became at the age of 24, the youngest American to have scored a significant book and movie deal, netting in the seven-figures. Tomy Adeyemi. Image from ABC.com And as we speak, Nigerians-Americans, such as Chiweteley Ejiofor and Uzo Aduba, are also taking Hollywood as part of their new terrain of excellence. Ejiofor played the role of Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave which was nominated as Best Actor by the Academy Awards and won the best actor in a leading role by the British Academy Film awards in 2014. Image from RottenTomatoes.com Uzo Aduba, Nigerian-American, who plays the role “Crazy Eyes” from Orange is the New Black. She won several awards including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series. Image from Biography.com Sports are okay too in a Nigerian household, but… Apart from the world of arts and engineering, the Nigerian diaspora is now linked among the top American athletes. What is interesting is that sport for Nigerian parents is secondary, never the priority as education is. What they look for in sport, is the opportunity to earn scholarships, which leads to free education. If a Nigerian child happens to make it through a professional league draft, good. But above all things, education is the goal. All things can follow suit.
