True! Life is harsh everywhere. But we can not compare the harshness of some region/continent to another.

If Europe is walking on thin ice, then the US is no longer walking but falling

Do you know the amount of US citizens with Student debt loans, how many Americans can boast of a total health coverage insurance?
America like you said can do better, but Europe will fall off totally in the coming decade, can you see how biased this is.

The US is the Land to be if you want to live in debts/paycheck to paycheck.

Point

pansophist:
Europe is better than US. No contest. I'll rather be Polish than American, at least as a polish, I'm an EU citizen and have freedom of movement across the EU.

America to the western world is what Nigeria is to Southern African countries. Nigeria may be richer, but other countries have better quality of life. US is exactly like that.

Well said...... E.O.D

ituglobal:
To me, I think Europe is better.

Yes oh

Good public transportation
High life expectancy
Cheap trip and close proximity to other countries
No gun violence
Serene environment
Paid vacation for workers
And many more

NONNYG:
I know why I asked the question because he's comparing a country with a continent

Who does that?

The rate at which people over hyped US is the main reason why he compared US with Europe. Another obvious reason is the economy of US.

Observation mode activated

Even a dullard will know that living in Europe is better than living in United States of America.



P.S - not all European countries

NONNYG:
you mean Italy is better than US ?

Is Italy the only country in Europe

Dudeweedlmao:
Japan, in terms of quality of life, is better than America

True 100%

stagger:
Is US the only country in this world?

I wonder....

bigx:
Both are third world abeg.

But one is better than the other.

cwale044:
Last last no place like home

What is your definition of HOME

ObiOkpor:
No place is safe anymore..
Seems Nigeria is even better to compare to the almighty USA...

Lol.. Nigeria isn't better than USA and USA isn't a greatest country either because what is the essence of being a greatest country when a mentally unstable people can shoot people anyhow.

lafuria1:
Lol, America, safest country in the world,

America isn't in top 50 safest countries in the world.

USA, overrated sh.it

Womenareape:
so you have procedures of sluattering animals but got no procedures of sluattering Christian

You guys are fond of coming here and insult us.

We won't give you the attention you want.

Wiziman:
I'm advising every youth to put much effort to save funds in other to leave this shitt-hole country

Best advice ever.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel

AjalaDtraveller:
Loooooool this is so funny. Especially coming from someone who went to visit and never returned. Atleast I went on vacation travelled through some cities in 4 states and returned in two weeks as stated on my visa application before my visa was issued. I never ever discouraged anyone from traveling because I travel too, however that America I saw myself is far overrated whether you admit it or not. You open a thread discouraging people from coming to stay with the same visit visa you travelled with and stayed back ILLEGALLY. Such hypocrisy! I am not rich but I thank God for the grace to work, save, qualify for visas and I can comfortably choose to afford a vacation, buy my flight ticket, afford to shop wherever I want and afford to return. You said I went to a slum to eat. Good you admit that there are indeed slums in almighty America.

You better watch out for ICE cos they coming for you. The akata marriage you are arranging won't work this time.
Edit
I just went through your post, so I have been bathing with a pig, replying someone who had to be housed and fed when he got to America. Shame

AkataWoman:
An online tourist. Just as I thought because it’s clear you don’t know what you’re talking about.

With everything you listed-whether it’s true or false—Americans still have a better quality of life than a Nigerian/African.

Most of us live in places that don’t have any of the issues you listed. In Nigeria the issues are unavoidable; you can’t escape them.

That’s why this forum is filled with threads on how to escape that place world leaders called a shithole and cemetery. You won’t find one website filled with Americans trying to lie, scam or get to Nigeria.

Have you ever lived in Nigeria before

AjalaDtraveller:
I was told that half of those black Americans are in jail. There is a lot of illiteracy in America. That is why one should appreciate free world class education from any Western nation that offers it!
Yes Americans live in big houses, we in Europe live in our smaller houses but is the house fully yours? Are the big cars fully yours? Some of you hype this America like other people have not visited. Maybe to someone straight from Nigeria it will be heaven but for those of us living in other great Western nations, I tell you America overhyped!.the infrastructure I saw in Dubai is even far better.
Granted Americans have more cash after tax but we pay more tax that's why it seems your American aunty has more money to dash than your aunty living in the UK.
I was on a trip, we had a stop in a bus and in came a man with a lot of stench, his legs were very swollen and this looked like a sickness were he had no money to treat. There are countries like Canada Germany the UK and others were you have access to free healthcare. Americans are sick and open go fund me! Who does that in Europe? There were alot of other things I saw. Then I came to the conclusion: the only nation on earth without any problems, no racism, no poverty is Heaven. Every nation of the world has problems. Don't let statistics fool you.

Pic: my Senegalese brother who came to chase the American dream, he sells shirts on the roadside for a living this is 3 minutes walk to the world trade center in New York

So true 100%

TheEminentLaity:
Ok good, but how many migrate legally? I get it. The US is the land of opportunities, so much money and much to do, good just like Nigeria in Africa but why are people, and I mean people earning over 500k per month, leaving with their families in droves or dem no dey see the 'opportunities'? Even my friend UgoSample wey dey live for CIV, why him no live inside Nigeria enjoy the 'opportunities' abi Dangote and Otedola no dey live there again? Some of us no gree live for Nigeria again, we no want be Dangote or Dino Melaye.

Bottomline, if money is everything to you then the US is a no-brainer but mind you money is everything usually to those who don't have it and trust the feeling is transient, because when money comes, other things become more important, like living in a serene environment where rights are upheld regardless of race and you or your siblings are less likely to encounter violence.

Reality of life... Thumbs up boss

The taste of the pudding is in the eating. America is the best, easy and very accommodating.

Then why are all of you here who live in the same America not billionaires? Abi una America different?

This really cracked me up big time

TheEminentLaity:
You must have never boarded a plane yourself There is no other country in the west that the citizens complain and outright protest against discrimination and discriminatory laws than in the US. By the way, the UK is the most convenient place for a black person to exist, outside their own continent, anywhere in the world. Racism overtly expressed, certainly not in the UK, try USA with Trayvon Martin and the likes. A country that abolished Jim Crow laws as recent as in the 70s and you are talking about 'super racist.' Google it, some places in south of USA still have segregated proms in High School where black kids have their separate proms from white kids. You must not also watch the news and get your information about US from Jack Bauer and the Kardashians, about how americans, because they are black are screaming 'black lives matter.' . The US population is largely ignorant of the world outside their noses and everyone is identified by colour/race first. Completely wierd for anyone coming from Western Europe.

America to many Nigerians is like Nigeria to other Africans and black people around the world after watching Davido, Wizkid and PSquare on Youtube think Nigeria is a great place to live, meanwhile it is the one of the worst in Africa, comparable with the war torn countries in the regiion, to live in as a regular person where very comfortable middle-class citizens are leaving in droves. You need a lot of money to be secure and for the law to work in Nigeria and it's similar in the US because you are likely to get caught up with a stray bullet or get robbed in many low-income neighbourhoods. The US with all its money is the third world country of the West. I understand when sufferhead nigerians who move to US see constant electricity and start talking rubbish. Nobody who is rich or comfortably middle class in Europe would want to live in the US. Nobody!

I'm sure you have no idea that prisons close in Scandinavian countries and people sleep without locking their doors and move freely everywhere and 'don't need guns to stop bad guys with guns' or that in the US, majority about 70% would have trouble paying a $400 bill emergency and many people are one ailment away from bankrupcy and poverty and homelessness. I won't bother posting links, google is your friend but stop watching music videos for information about the US. You don't see schools and cinemas being shot up by crazy people with assault rifles (home edition) or gang wars in areas in the US? Or you think because you come from Nigeria the victims could never be you or your siblings? Just look at the some of the retrogressive laws some of the states are passing into law in 2019.

There is a lot of money in the US like Nigeria in Africa but living in Botswana or even Ivory Coast is better for a regular person than living in Nigeria. Right now even Nigeria is becoming one of the worst places to live if you are not super rich. Likewise the US, the difference and advantage is that social mobility is a thing in the US. The richest people change all the time and people move up and down the economic ladder.

Get your facts right next time, and oh I have lived in some of these countries and speak from experience. If I was Ghanaian, Rwandan or South African and middle class why in the world would I want to migrate to the US of all places to get shot or for me or my children to be called niggers?

ViceChief:
I WILL CONTINUE TO SAY THIS, THE REASON MOST PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO AMERICA AND CANADA IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES.
EUROPE TOO MAKE BRAIN ABEG

One of the reasons and Hollywood. People want to have this American feeling not minding the chaotic lifestyle over there. Texas is different though

Canada is very accommodating, hence the reason why many Nigerians are entering the country in thousands.

Want to enjoy cool lifestyle, Europe is your best bet anytime anyday

OlaLiberty:
Thanks for your response. Can I get one from other countries like the Scandinavian, Western Europe or from the US at this time?

U.S Universities have two intakes for admission purposes, namely Fall and Spring semesters. Fall semester starts in late August and ends in late December or early January whereas the Spring semester begins in January and ends in early May.

For Norway, 1 December 2018 for non-European students. Might be different for some universities

For Austria, June to September 2019 (varies by university)

For Denmark, admission closed

For Estonia, closed

For Finland, closed but check some universities

For France, closed

For Ireland, closed

For Latvia, closed

For Lithuania, closed

Netherlands, closed

For Sweden, closed

For Poland, varies by university; but generally from July to August


It is better you wait boss.

Doughboysss:
Pls like when will applications for summer begin.

ofwest47:
Nigeria the poorest country in the world with the largest multi millionaires in the world .

That's not true

Nigeria is not the poorest country in the world

UncleJudax:
Yes. You just have to align with the ruling party (state and/or national)

Small time now, Rwanda go start de ban Nigerians. We like good things, but can't create them.

That's a developing country with a visionary president, Paul kagame.

A country that is ahead of Nigeria.

orunmila144:
i am not here advocating that he is doing a great job. however he has established it to where you cant steal billions or millions of dollars again in this country. now thats good enough for me. we cant have people like kola aluko buying 80 million dollar yachts and 51 million dollar penthouse new york apartments under an incompetently run government. if all buhari does is to prevent these types of humongous thefts from happening ? he has achieved something monumental for a corrupt country like nigeria that is monumental.

So, in summary, your president is fighting corruption abi

Ugosample:
@AngelicBeing
@MizWisdom
@Hadampson

can you see what a supposed Nigerian citizen posted ?

If the president is not in office to improve the standards of living for Nigerians
What then is he there in aso rock doing?


Me I would just be watching from my house here while you guys in nigger area continue to suffer for your foolishness

just look ar

He doesn't know what he is saying jawe

orunmila144:
it is not the presidents job to improve your standard of living. it is your own job to do that. go and pick up a skill and then start a business so you can take care of yourself and your family and you can stop being a nuisance on nairaland

You are wrong 100%

Is this how the government perform their duties in other countries??

If the president cannot improve the standard of living of the citizens, what is now the essence of having a government??

He should pick up a skills and start a business... Can you start a business without money

Bossman, you are very wrong and you know it... Stop arguing abeg

OlaLiberty:
Good day all, I would appreciate suggestions on Universities in Germany that can offer me admission before the end of october this year. Thanks all for your useful information.

Too late bro.. Winter admission should be over by now.

Wait for summer admission and apply as early as possible
