TravelRe: Can Someone Help With European Countries With Good Amount Of Jobs by Lionize: 10:43am On Jan 22
obonujoker:
Ok thanks ... Will surely try it out....

Can it lead to PR though?
Guy man, those two countries have very bad economies in EU. It is only your best choice if:
1. You are looking for where you can easily get visa to
2. You have all the money to soldier it until you start seeing clearly.
3. You get a fully funded scholarship.

As at 2022 when I visited Greece, a Greek friend I met made me really understand how pitiable the Greek economy was. His wife, a medical doctor, was earning less than 2000 usd (according to him). He had a Masters degree and his salary was somewhere around 1,000-1,200 usd.

Even countries like Poland and Czech republic, though not so good, are better than those two countries mentioned up there. look towards the likes of Germany and Switzerland instead, they are free tuition (make thorough research to find every other info you seek).

Countries like Sweden, if you manage to enter, won't restrict you from working, so long as you attend classes and pass your exams.

Make sure you find out the reality on ground from residents of a country before you move. A lot of people will come online to paint the fairy tale story (which may happen, but rare). If you follow only the sweet stories, your abroad experience will be like stone in your mouth. Plan carefully.

Thanks for your reply
Some people said I should remove it. But the Masters course i want to study in sweden is Material Science while that of the one I did here in Nigeria is Analytical chemistry.

Pls what are prospect of material scientist in Sweden?
Smiles at the bolded. I may not be able to answer that question since I am not a material scientist. Browsing the swedish job market in search of openings for a material scientist may give you a hint on the answers you seek. I must warn, to really build a career here, you need to take your language classes seriously.

Perhaps IPOB has bribed the pope as well. Instead of this govt to accept the fact and show working in crushing the terrorismmm ravaging the country, they prefer spending tons of money denying the obvious. I have never seen such a treacherous government meting out w1ckedness on it's citizens.

Honestly, if they do what they are supposed to do, no external body will interfere.

CareerRe: I Don't Owe Salaries: Employer Weeps As Staff Divert #10m Business Profits(vid) by Lionize: 1:56pm On Oct 14, 2025
This is why some Nigerian employers prefer to higher a foreigner and pay him as an expatriate to run their company and the lousy Nigerians will complain. Give them any little chance and they drain your business to settle themselves. Nigerians blames the politicians as if it is the cloak of politics that make vitiate them, the truth is that politics only gives them access to the vault. The average Nigerian is corrupt, even the woman crying may not be exempted. I WILL NEVER INVEST IN NIGERIA IF AT LEAST ONE OF THE BELOW CONDITIONS ARE NOT THE:
1.I must be present
2. It is a business the workers do not have access to the funds received from customers- only the fund made available to them to run the country.

Flipmac:
My little brother traveled to study in Sweden for studies. He has been there for over a month and I've been asking him to look for a job to support himself.

However, he told me that students are required to stay a minimum of 3 months before they are eligible for a work permit.

Please I'll like to know if this statement is true?.

Also, how easy is it to get non-skilled jobs in Sweden?.
Hej,
Your brother is either not informed, or he lied. He can start working as soon as he gets his personnummer (only very few employers will employ you without this), and the truth is that it could take between 1 week and up to 4 months to get this, depending on a lot of factors. Aside this, you can secure a black job and earn cash, or illegally rent another person's documents, or get a job and use alternatives to receive salary if the company is cool with you once you show them your study permit

What he is describing is a situation whereby you switch permit from study to work. That is only allowed after you have successfully completed 30 credits of study (which takes about 3 months). But that is a different thing altogether and has nothing to do with you being able to get any kind of job. Also, to get a work permit, you must be earning a certain minimum salary. And with full work permit, you cease to pay school fees,

Another truth is, getting the job may not be as easy as you think, depending, again, on the city he lives.

Also, like someone had said earlier, he may be avoiding menial jobs. If that is the case, tell him to go tell King Gustaf to adopt him first, unless he is highly skilled.
BusinessRe: Man Shocked To See Business Founder Dining Lavishly A Day After His Investment by Lionize: 11:28pm On Sep 26, 2025
I thought you caught him dining. This may just be a way of announcing his win, it has not shown he has spent any money. Besides, if is a repeat founder, how come he has not hit? Or are his previous businesses in few thousands and this one in Billions. I don't get it.
TravelRe: Swedish Admissions And Student Visa by Lionize: 7:33am On Sep 19, 2025
Nigerian prospective students in Sweden should learn the following:
-Sweden has taken a tougher stand on immigration now, especially for some countries.
-People who have B.Eng, with 14 years banking experience, and still applied for MSc in Engineering in Sweden are not stupid, that is the way to go. the swedish educational system looks at your academic background to judge your future. In places like America, they consider your work experience, but Sweden looks at it like, "how can an arts student want to study masters in Engineering, even if you have worked for Engineers for 20 years?
-The bureaucratic delays is part of the swedish system, if you are not patient, then learn it, if you don't want to, then don't think of Sweden.
- Somehow Sweden tries to verify, as much as they can, your claims. Thus doing "wayo" you cannot defend may affect your future in Sweden.
-If you start with a story, remember it and stick to it. If for any reason you want to change your story, back it up with concrete evidence.
- the best way to deal with Sweden is to be informed, and go ahead of them and start strategizing, let them always meet you in front, if you let them meet you where you are, you will most likely be caught off-guard.
- On the average, Swedish case officers follow the law to the letter, so, you have to know the law. if you are in doubt at any time, ask them.
- They are constantly updating themselves of our updates. They know us to a large extent.
- Don't put all your hope on them, they can fail you at any time and keep a straight face, or even smile at you.

I finally made it to the last page from page 1. One thing I know is if as a Nigerian you can read through patiently then you are likely to succeed.
Thank you @ lioneze. You are teuly a good man. God bless you.
Are you still in Sweden?

I am not honna adk some questions such as how is Sweden, are there workshuh No way ...I wont.

All I know is I am applying for Autumn 2026 come next month and by tue Grace of God come July/August next year I will be there.

We go sort am out when I get there.
I want to apply for any sustainability course Msc.

I am a data analyst but will like to do masters in Sustainability while i look for job in tech.

i be Igbo woman so I go survive.
Yes , I still dey here. All the best. you have done what the average nigerian doesn't do, reading through and equipping yourself with the information you need. I am positive you will succeed given your strategy, but don't be too optimistic in terms of job, just prepare for anything and hope for the best. I'll suggest you start applying for jobs now, I mean now.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you find yourself in any confusing spot, or need advice on certain peculiar issues. The law is a little dynamic and few things are changing, but not for you as a student.
Also, prepare yourself for the cold, it's not like you think it, it is a little worse, unless you have been to a cold country before- even though here the south is the warmest while the North is coldest. But all the same, as a Nigerian, you have what it takes to succeed.

okpouman:
Iran is such a weak country though,they got no response at all.I think only israel is military capable in the middle east
They are only bent on sponsoring terrorism. A friend of mine, an iranian, tells me how much the government sends to terrorists. You will never believe the figures. Both in cash (as in cash), gold, oil, and weapons. He told me France seized 2 shiploads of weapons being shipped to terrorists recently. And in that, it means they actually sent about 6 (says that is there strategy). Also, a shipload of gold bars (ship full of gold) was also seized en route to terrorists. That was when I asked if Iran has gold and he says yes. The country may be 10 times richer than Nigeria, but the people live far much below the poverty line than Nigerians. The corruption there makes Nigerian politicians holier than King David of the Christian bible. As at last month or so hit 100,000 iranian currency.

Iranians are actually under the siege of the Islamists. From Ben's speech recently, Israel is counting on Iranians springing a revolution from here (it's possible they have it all planned). Let's watch and see.
