CalmTravels:
I agree with you on that racism is bad, and stands condemned, but how about we put our home and mindset in order first before even asking strangers to treat us fine. If we treat our selves fine, no body would tell foreigners to do the same.

In my opinion, tribalism is worse form of discriminating, because tribalism has been known to lead to mass killings of the vulnerable.

You're still missing the point.
Even if tribalism didn't exist, racism will still exist.
These two things are mutually exclusive is not a hard concept to grasp.

Beating your brother at home doesn't justify or give the right to a stranger to stab your brother outside your home

Racism is more complex than "If we treat our selves fine, no body would tell foreigners to do the same."

It literally doesn't work like that, c'mon be real.

In summary, racism and tribalism doesn't cancel each other, they are mutually exclusive if you know what that means.

Peace!

Inyaky:
This is what I have always tell people, that it is better to face racism abroad than tribalism in our own country. I also wish we were still under British control because I'm sure our lives would be better than this.

If i had known I would continue with my Norwegian grandpa I met online some years back, I for use am japa, I got tired of him showing me his dick so I stopped communicating with him, been a lady in Nigeria is not easy at all. I met a black American online but he's always carrying gun. I m scared of gun so I left, I met a white American but he's too young,
I will try my best to live this country, I don't want my children to be born here, a country where there's no justice and where people see white and call it black is not worth raising children

Racism and tribalism are both bad.
One doesn't cancel another.
I don't really know why people like you and CalmTravels are justifying racism because tribalism exist in Nigeria, very absurd thinking.

It's like saying Swedes can rape because there is murder in Nigeria

Tribalism is not worse than Racism as you may think.
Many European countries do have tribalism and nationalism issues, almost all of them have fought bloody wars with their neighbouring countries or territories that once belong to them.

CalmTravels made it seem like only black people in Nigeria engage in tribalism.

Once again, I'm not justifying tribalism in Nigeria.

Sweden like most western countries have their own problems, it's not some mythical paradise.

The OP is selling market so it's expected he will present Sweden as some magical city without problems.

Now, I'm not saying people shouldn't japa to Sweden.
People should japa to wherever the feel is best for them!

FunkFlex:
The guy dey even dey cry. SMH.... me I no send anybody Papa as long as I dey collect my salary. I trust Naija people. Imagine when person dey collect 150k dolz a week as salary, even if them like make them pack the full Spain come the stadium to come racist me, I no go still send anybody ancestors

sotall:


Keep arguing. Dey enjoy your Nigeria dey go and let those tired of that zoo move elsewhere and make something better out of their lives.

Whatever makes you sleep well in Europe

sotall:


And i residing currently in Europe is arguing this with you living in Nigeria...

What an irony.

I am actually not arguing with you, I was only pointing out the absolute nonsense in your initial comment.
Mr I currently live in Europe

sotall:


Sorry...whatever you read in my statement is reality and i write from my own experience.
I dont argue with people whose evidence is from social media and heresay.

Lol @ social media and hearsay.
Nothing to prove to you mate.
Your comment alone shows us how much your know about Europe, which is nothing .

You can barely put a correct English sentence together but you feel you're educated on immigration in Europe .

sotall:


First this guy is just catching cruise and did that video for social media.

Whatever he is trying to portray in the video is very far from the reality of most migrants living in Europe whether legal or illegal.

Yes, Europe is not easy and them no dey pluck money for ground but trust me if you are ready to work and not lazy, you will live comfortably and even have savings.

For those that came through the sea , you will be restricted from doing formal jobs until you can change your status to a working visa. I have seen so many people who came through this route and its only a matter of time, you will get the opportunity to be a given a work visa whilch will later lead to permanent residency. Pending when you get this work visa, you can do menial jobs which are very well paid e.g working in farms and gardens of private citizens. You are paid per hour and you earn between €120-200 Euro daily depending on who you are working for. Just calculate the amount you will get if you work 20 days in a month.

For those that have a valid visa on arrival in Europe, the only thing you need is a hustle mindset. So many opportunities await you if you are ready to work.

Forget this video they did, its for cruise.

Infolenka:


Oga fuçk mental health. Every poor person is suffering from at least 3 mental health problems. I've never seen a happy poor person.

Let these fools give me their mental problems along with the wealth and my life will be 1000 times better.

TobiAbuja:



Exactly. One thing Russians are well known for are their troll farms (or Putin bots). They have already infested the comments pages of western media for many years peddling Russian propaganda. It's also well known that they are trying to make inroads into Africa (look at the Wagner owned gold mines in Burkina Faso and Sudan), and Nairaland is hands down the EASIEST website in the world to create fake accounts. Its security infrastructure dates from the 2000s.

It's one thing for these threads to sit empty in a sub-forum, but for particular mods to push this nonsense to front page? It raises serious questions over integrity. G00DHardDick: at least make an effort and post some fake photos.

But maybe Russian girls are sex starved with all their boys dying in Ukraine....there's hope for G00DHardDick yet.

You know your stuff.
Russian bots are all over fox news, msnbc, cnn etc pages instigating problems, polarising the people and fighting culture wars.

I was absolutely disappointed when I saw the thread has been pushed to the front page, Seun needs a reality check.
Justwise the moderator of travel section is a smart guy, I don't know how this slipped out of his review.

I will say the push anything to the front page provided it will generate views and clicks.

I won't also put it pass the possibility of a syndicate, a mod is probably in Russian's pocket.

Seun needs to do an insider threat analysis. Or who knows Seun could even be the Russian syndicate member .

I will expect more this type of threads to grace the front page to deceive most gullible Nigerians who want to japa to anywhere because the saw a post on Nairaland

WhatCanIsay:
Softening stage of propaganda

Be ready to see more of this kind of posts in Nairaland within a 2 months time.

One will tell you how Putin called him lovingly and confessed his love for Nigeria and Nigerians.

Some people wey no de reason well go de buy the gist hook, line and sinker.

Lol una never see propaganda in action... welcome

Spot on
This is a well organised propaganda, but most nairaland moderators are not known for their smartness.

Russia is a shit hole and many Russians are racist xenophobic bigoted bleeps.
Nigerians especially the ones living in Nigeria are one of the most gullible people in the world.

Watch them start planning to Japa to Russia
Because Putin loves Africans, and white Russian girls are looking for Nigerian men , the matter taya me

Lamasta:
The way you guys are campaigning for Russia this days on nairaland even Russians too will marvel if they see it

Corridon:
Women will always be women. Fish brains. Any little opportunity they get they flaunt their pussy which is the only thing they offer to mankind.

Spanishmilf:
About the racist part he js tslking from his own PoV.
True u dont support his agenda against nigerian woman in poland. But idk most pple abroad also say same thing about nigerian women to avoid them.

This maybe my last reply/comment on this thread.

Firstly, I don't have any issue with the OP.

I'm also not here for criticism, the thread is interesting and knowledgeable. And hopefully the OP's story will be beneficial to many people who have similar aspirations.

The only thing that put me off was he said people should avoid black men and Nigerian women, that's a very stupid statement and I stand by words.

I have sisters, friends, aunties and my mom who are Nigerians. I'm not going to let someone shit on all Nigerian girls because of their previous life frustration.

I know self hate and uncle Tom antics and rhetorics when I see one, no be today matter. And most of the OP's statement was very uncle Tom of him.
Once again I don't know him personally, just calling out the statement.

And yes, he spoke in a general manner not from his PoV. The truth and reality based on empirical evidence is that Poland is generally a racist country, the elected a right wing dingbat as their president, their president is anti immigration, anti Islam and LGBTQIA. If you know what that means in European politics I won't even be having this conversation with you.

Let me leave at this, I don't want to get deep into European politics.

The Problem is few Nigerians just move to Europe and stay a few months, then the conclude there is no racism, lol

There was a thread where a Nigerian who have stayed in Russia for just 1 month came to the conclusion that there's no racism

Sorry for derailing the thread, let's focus on the OP's story if they are willing to continue.

SireSommy69:
Good morning guys.
Please, 1. I have a deadline of 30th of August to pay €8,000 of my tuition fee (NCI - Ireland) and I have applied for CBN's Form A (on the 3/8/2022 through Access Bank). Please, what should I do hasten it? So I can meet up?

2. My former and current employers never gave me payslips, but I am to provide a 6 Months payslip. I only received my salaries through my salary account, allowances as cash that's all nothing more. What do you advice?
I have approached my manager from the former work place, he has no idea what payslips are.

3. Seeing that I am aiming for January intake, what else should I be doing now with the time I have left?

I would really appreciate any help I can get from you guys here.

Your questions are more immigration based from Nigeria.
My best knowledge is centered around living in Ireland not how to come to Ireland, I hope that makes sense.

Analogy: I can tell you how to fasten your seat belt and sit properly in the plane, but not how to buy your plane tickets and get to the airport

I will try to answer some questions:

Firstly, I don't live in Nigeria, it's been a long time I left, And I don't know some of the things you're talking about. I have heard about form A, if you have a connection in the bank that can help out, or call your bank's head office number and inform them about the urgency, like call them every day, lol

If you don't have payslips, I suppose your employment letter, bank statement and email showing salary alert may suffice

Best of luck.

Ayohbk:



Don't loose yourself trying to fit in a white society. Don't demonize your people.

I feel like e-hugging you.
I was about to give a lengthy comment but you have covered most things.

A white lady helped or referred them for a job, so Polish people are not generally racist because of that, lmao. And the need to avoid our lovely Nigerian ladies and black man.

I was reading that all sh#t and shaking my head.

I was down with the thread until that statement.

The level of self hate and uncle tomish behaviour is amazing.
Best of luck to the OP, I hope your dreams and aspiration comes through

4everEdward:
This journey wasn’t a small one but yet we move regardless, I use to tell people to use countries as a stepping stone to your destination;

Because getting visa in Nigeria is very difficult and hard it’s only by God grace and prayers you can get visa over there in that country…

Nevertheless CHECK THESE THREAD>>>>> https://www.nairaland.com/6446253/mmy-journey-rwanda-kigali

This is my thread when I relocated to Rwanda Kigali an d stayed there for 1yrs and before I got move to Russia Moscow

My final destination is CANADA or FINLAND.

I’m not sure yet but I am still thinking and Contemplating

But for now I am still here.

NB: nothing like racist or racism in Russia, they are friendly and forget the media propaganda…

Wait for my next update.

Some Nigerians self, you just enter Russia, probably not up to a month and you have concluded there is no racism in Russia
You go come here create thread after one year with some racist stories, we dey wait you, lol

Best of luck though

Hannania:


I'm a rational Human, and if you had asked the context of my comment, me might as well have gotten to a point of a discussion. But obvikjksy, the edge of "African Rebuke" was the only defence of ignorance that you resorted to.

Anyways, my advice to you is to see the world better and don't be Emotional with seeing the context of things are needed.

Get knowledge and wisdom with enlighten you.

Enjoy!

CSTRR:

I just hate people with inferiority complex.

They excuse everything and worse if they are actually trying to speak for you.

Foreigners in ukraine who paid for a Ukrainian education should be left stranded while citizens who benefited from their tuition should be allowed to go freely.

Imagine the argument.

Hannania:
If Nigeria was in war, obviously it's gonna be It's Citizens before others. We fall to the nearest blink to blame everything on racism. It's not

You don't have a clue mate,
You're either ignorant on this case, or a coon/house negro. So Nigerians and non Ukrainian people should be left stranded to die.

You're the apex of inferiority complex.
Your comment was too stupid to ignore. I rarely quote, mention or engage with people here for a few years now, but wow your comment is absurd

majorbravo:
I need someone who has applied for critical skills permit and visa from Nigeria before for information. I’m in this boat and need to know the relevant time frames for Nigerians on this journey. Both I and my employers are in the dark on this and I’m running out of time before Omicron locks down everywhere.

Mekas2016:
I live in Ireland, precisely dublin...it is a very good country.

Your wife can try the school option for now, really wish you guys were here earlier because there is an amnesty scheme going on at the moment here to regularise immigrants and allow them work permit and pathway to becoming citizens thereafter.

Fojwa:
Please sir, I had secure admission to study Masters of science in Financial Technology at Dublin Business School and tuition fees had been fully paid which is about 7million naira, my question is that does Financial Technology worth it? What is the probability of me getting a job while studying even unskilled jobs. I'm really curious about your eyes opener write up.

Ibk2020:

I actually visited 1 yeye Ear hospital,where they extort hell out of me, the doctor did many scans and told me it will take 6 month for it to go through medication.
I was placed on #7,500 / 2 weeks drugs, I had to stop after 2 months cos of the financial aspect then took the drugs to a pharmacy to get the name.
The drugs did not actually worked,so I stopped, I started playing Music always and made sure I don't stay in a quite area, also made sure u took my mind off it totally.
The ringing stopped less than 5 month that it started.

Ibk2020:

Mine started after taking a can of bullet drink, I thought it was a joke. After 5 days I went to a hospital and I was placed on a medication.

The truth is, it can be cured if she can be playing music before sleeping, she should avoid quite place, she should try to take her mind off it.
Mine lasted for more than 5 months or so.

niyogeol:
Mcowubaba,

You have touched on many things that there is little to add. Kudos man.

But my one kobo is for people considering another study in Ireland after exhausting their time on 1G should shelve the thought. Because 1G can't be used beyond the 2 years it is granted for - meaning you won't be entitled to 1G again even if you study another course. Except if the Minister of Justice grant a discretionary extension. So for folks in this situation, don't go and spend your hard earned money again. Because you will likely be postponing your fears of not confronting the reality that lies ahead.

So people should instead go to UK for another study as they are bringing their own 2 years post study visa on stream. Canada express entry is another thing people should give a shot at. Or even further studies in Canada or USA. Or for people still interested in further studies, you can try PhD opportunities in other parts of Europe and Australia. All of these moves will require money. So endeavor to save up from the hustle you currently hold and not blowing the cash just to impress people on Instagram.

For people still in naija yet to make the move, please like Mcowubaba has stated above, consider the course you are going to Ireland to study. Don't go and burn over #6m just because you want to leave naija to go and face uncertainty of doing things not commensurate with the degree you will acquire.
