HonNL:Lol... these folks in Nigeria keep setting the wrong precedent...if we talk now dem go say we don start.... smh... by their logic then, herbalist kids will decide to add charms to their uniforms or cele kids could add white linen and no shoes... And we wonder why the country is fast going Under |
Yeyeboi05:Instead of the Caribbean islands, look into South America, avoid Brazil (it just go difficult to get their visa oo), Venezuela (bad economic), chile(if you no too get cash, avoid)... do your research on the Rest... work your way from there... Ire oo |
Yeyeboi05:First of all. I wouldn't advice you to come live in Barbados without PR?? That is one of the roughest play one can play with you , except you are a Caricom citizen, married to a Bajan or have a Barbados PR, dont think about staying here illegally, why?? THE CARIBBEAN countries are islands, less population unlike many part of the world e.g Barbados has a population of about 280k , which is way smaller than my local govt in alimosho, the implication is as an immigrant you will stand out, police dont go about arresting illegals etc except you break the law or your motive is clear before immigration checks you in at the airport. Barbados depend heavily on Importation , so unlike the big guns , there are very industries in Barbados, you can literally count them with you hands, since Barbados is import dependent, she relies heavily on tourism and little little agriculture, so that is enough to finance her economy and employ her citizens, non professional foreigners will have it tough, much more one without a PR. How do you intend to transit to USA from Barbados without a US visa, Barbados doesn't share land border with the United states, they are separated by the Caribbean sea,which is a very large body of water, more. Barbados is located at the far eastern part of the Caribbean, so it's highly impossible to get the America without having a visa . Barbados is expensive e.g average cost of housing (a room ) in Barbados is between $700BDS - $1200BDS (Depending on the location) with is around $350USD-$600USD , Transportation in Barbados is designed to suck your money off .. food?? Make I nor near there... why?? Cos it is designed for tourism and tourists... If you fit do German-German, u go fit still survive, somehow but you will subject yourself to tough work and will be used..lol. Getting Barbados citizenship for "Normal " folks should take 3-5years of stay in Barbados (and clearly you have to be legal).. Ire oo!! |
kasim155:Omo, I bless God for the day , I left that country.... na Caribbean we dey like this.. |
kasim155:Omo nor waste time oo |
allentee1:Jamaica ke?? I live in one of the CARICOM countries, the Best Actually (Barbados)... we are like the "America" of the Caribbean... Omo, except you are a professional or very vast in doing business, nothing like hustle here oo... Cost of living is off the roof, for you to settle might take awhile.. the folks I feel sorry for are the ones going to Dominican republic.... smh.. dem go suffer tire... But it's not impossible, you go still find one or two things to do here... u go sha get by somehow... Anywer here better pass Nigeria... |
kasim155:I didn't mean to come out rude..that wasn't my intention, I'm sorry... I didn't quote you wrong..I was saying, even 70k is far too much..there is hardly any factory worker that earns that high.. they will have to be like a professional machine operator with an actual Degree to earn that much.. that is how bad it is... |
CowbellY:Not so.. lol.. wish it worked like that... However they can check their Visa on the Brazil website to see if it was approved or not |
kasim155:Lies, most factory workers are paid between 20,000 - 40000 .. I would know because until fairly recently I worked in one as a skilled worker (welder) and pay was #1500 daily and this is as recent as 2020 and i doubt if there has been any changes.. I too suffer for that country, Never again |
gforce5:Goodmorning!! Two sets of folks I try to avoid on here: The Abroad is Hell, dont come! The Why are people running ?? Nigeria is better! For some reason, I dont get the objective still... sometimes I see it as comic relief but fairly recently it has started to become a worrying trend... If Nigeria was doing good, Nobody will LEAVE or atleast only a few people will push to leave... a person earning minimum wage CANNOT rent a comfortable place .. Most of the folks that keep pushing the narrative of Nigeria is better than abroad na "mommy thank you " personnels. If you have a good job in Naija and want to stay that's fine and good but the situation is not the reality of those abroad. For me and my house, NEVER AGAIN! NEVER will be family queue up in an Embassy in a bid to get a visa to travel ANYWHERE while getting rudely talked to by embassy officials and security guards on money wey we dey pay just so we can visit their country for visit or anywise.. Never again , are we living in a "Father land" that discriminates against us in our own country and gives preference to Foreigners Never again are we going to rejoice at the Government for giving us the very basics like Electricity, good road and transportation network. Omo, story plenty.. |

EnitoJ:This is dumb... I'm not Igbo but this right here is Dumb.... whenever they talk about Igbos being in leadership, yall start to raise ridiculous standards, for crying out loud, igbo is a MAJOR ethnic group... u lots come up with the most ridiculous things "they have no structure, they are too divided, too much insecurity, they cant this, they cant that....." The north has the highest insecurity in the Land yet you lots advocate for Atiku, killings going on in Yorubaland and igboho agitating and everyone is screaming for Tinubu presidency... this Is just utter ridiculous... give yourselves break na... oya make dem go na since yall think they are criminals, una no gree.. this is sad... whether Nigeria breaks up or not e no concern me..I'm far away from it madness but make ona rest! Half the tribal bigots here have igbo,yorubas and northerners as friends, bosses... |
pufframmy:U dey Brazil?? |
pufframmy:It's my favorite country but I didn't need it when I could easily go in and out WITHOUT A VISA.... and to think as at the time they wer hiding and breaking through hidden palliatives, I was still roaming bout the streets of Lagos, hustling for food...lol.. how life changes... na life ooi |
cucumbar:Yea, allows one plan travel.. congrats dear... go explore!! |
Tope2580:Fair enough... make we dey prepare oo |
cucumbar:No such thing as Lucky, it's all God's grace and Glory... Better cook ooo, I go come chop for your house by September when I go visit ooo... ![]() |
pufframmy:Maybe with Extensive travel TO and FROM Brazil, they could increase the Time duration Fortunately for me, I Will Never need a visa again.... it was just like yesterday, when I was fasting and praying "Oh Lord , Let them grant me this Brazilian visa, I am tired of this Nigeria " .... how time flies and Circumstances changes.... |
cucumbar:You got one year Visit visa![]() |
Niveakreamy89:Is it how it is done now Before it just says "Approved" , then a mail follows "Passport ready for pick-up" |
chatinent: ![]() Na their way be that, dem no wan comot from abroad , okay return home na,omo dem no go even wan hear you...lol.. bunch of degenerates.. Abroad no good, abroad no go but they will die put there.... no country wen no get homeless people... people wen dey naija nor just dey homeless but they also stand the chance of getting run over by drunken drivers, ritual killers and target of rapist etc... Nigeria is a nightmare, I bless God I left there... God nor go let us go back to HELL.. |
gimakon2:Wetin sup,bros?? ![]() |
Favor99:My brother, with my time abroad , I have seen that we have a Loooonnnnggggg way to go... way still far, and unfortunately we might not get it right anytime soon, as you see on tv, money controls the narrative and they have weaponized poverty and has unleashed Terror... The wife is back in the USA but husband still dey naija na, as his application is still in process... The other man went back to Germo, never to go back to Naija... The ease and process of doing business in naija na long story... It's crazy, I wish things was better but unfortunately not!! No-one likes to leave their homeland, their father's land to go live in a strange land... if naija good, I for dey there dey hustle.. |
PreetyAngel4U:Lol...He will do that when BAT hands stops shaking...lol |
Munamoqel:Again with your falsehood and lies... The mere assumption that you think everyone will japa to the UK,USA or Canada is the breeding ground for your lies and disinformation... South America and the Caribbean is my route and I can tell you for a FACT that there are many Nigerians who are doing OKAY in these places... Some even migrated to these places and even North America and Europa because they married a citizens of these places... some sell lands to get here,while some wer sponsored via school, work or even people around them.... What if they start businesses with these money for traveling abroad?? Many businesses die in Nigeria due to so many bad Economic policies e.g during and after the Lockdown i.e pre and post covid hit, nations gave out loans to businesses and even palliatives to ease the effects of global crisis, what did your country do?? Hide the ones that the private sector gave,while sharing funds to non-existent "poor" people with no data or stats to show. Businesses are crumbling on daily due to High inflation, lack of electricity, too many levies etc.. The op is running his mouth talking about how is friend got a job of 4k pounds after tax , how many Nigerians will get into tech before they can live the basic decent life Isnt that funny to you?? Insecurity add to that plate and then you will get a picture of the dishes being served...From all stance, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE... family off lands to send their kids abroad and somehow it has proved time and time over, that it is a more solid bet than owning a business in Nigeria as an "average " Nigerian... Ona nor dey learn?? Or you lots like to argue with FACTS... I doubt Seun dey naija sef.. |
gforce5:He had a bad experience abroad ke?? Man was denied visa, all he could do was come here to type jaga-jaga.... how anyone would compare the standard of life abroad to Living in Nigeria is even amazing and the fellow should get their head checked, and the thought that there are folks even affirming his claim is even more worrying... even Nigerian leaders use abroad as a benchmark on how good standards of living should be, talk more of minions ... lol . This is the most incredible thing I have seen all morning.. |
Gerrard59:Make ona help me dey greet , the fulani nation builder,Bull-Harry and hin goons dem... Lol |
nnennachiji:Bro, that's exactly the problem here.... They benefit from the "cut corners " of the Nigerian corrupt system, it is how the survive here, so naturally they expect it to continue, that's why the state if that nation is retrogressing.... why do you think most of them are out here talking bout Nigeria is a land of opportunity this, and it's a blissful land that, when you hear that, you will know the "opportunity" is being able to out corrupt or buy your way through system that will require standard checks... This is just Madness... anyways that one nor concern me, I don comot be say I don comot... who wants to stay can have the "Opportunities " Nigeria presents... no be my wahala be that |
Munamoqel:Very true but reality is: Not everyone is built to be an Entrepreneur... infact ,Most people aint..that's how Economies function.... The foreigner bring in FX to build business in Nigeria and thus, 2k dollars is a little over 1million naira... you fit start something, how many Nigerians have that amount ![]() These foreigners you mentions are given MORE opportunities than the locals, therefore have more leverage and exploit the people's poor state... e.g , illegal mining going on in Zamfara and plateau states... na Chinese and Lebanese etc.. if a Nigerian was the one doing these mining, he would have been in Jail by now cooling off.... I get it that there are opportunities as it is everywhere in the World but if the cost of survival is high and the locals spend more time trying to survive, do you think they will recognize these opportunities?? Why do you think the most creative Nigerians are the ones that has had time spent abroad?? Co-incedence?? No.... How many businesses can afford Solar panels?? Factor that in... People JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE... Nigeria isnt giving room for that! You shouldn't have to be a mega-brain, an opportunity spotter to survive and leave a basic but yet decent life in your own country... No social security, infact, no SECURITY of any form... With my Barbados passport I can travel the entire Europe, Americas(with the exception of USA, and getting the US visa is super easy and its 10years visa, the only thing they need?? Money to pay for your return ticket) ,most Asian countries and African countries VISA FREE ... but my Nigerian passport is practically USELESS.... getting a visa is a Miracle... and you think any average Joe and Jane will want to stay there ![]() |
Favor99:I know of an American lady, married a Nigerian guy, they met online, she sold all she had(thank God ,she didn't quit her job) to relocate to naija, so she can live with her husband , very lovely couple, they started a business (transport and hotel packages for folks visiting naija) but when she saw the reality of Africa (she still loves Africa) , omo, she run go back yankee to file for her husband to come meet her,she was thankful she Didn't quit her job... they just started the process of their Application though as she went back in April but sadly that is the fate of many Abroad, who has gotten use to the privileges, as much as racism is very terrible and has it effects but Africa get hin own...I know a guy in the USA, went down to Africa to start a business, he bought a land , fought legal battle in that land, was physically assaulted on several occasions, had to pay police, SSS etc to do their jobs, the Land in question was sold to him and they also sold the land to 5 other persons... Family sef dey fight ontop the land say na one rebel for the Land dey sell am .... nobody tell the guy, hin carry what was left of his life and went back to the states, Abu na fashion designer wey come from Germany to start business for naija , lack of electricity and many levies shut the business Down.. omo, stories plenty! |
Gerrard59:Shey na during lockdown matter you wan talk, wey one million boys come our area come rob us?? Move money comot from my hand?? Omo, story plenty...forget naija, comot wen u can..even if na visit visa, comot First |
The same UK where a student can afford to travel to abroad if he/she saves good money from part-time work. Here, you have adults that cannot even afford to travel within their own country! Too many delusional people on this forum.
