Was looking for Abia state there. Come on, we need to applaud this man Alex Otti.

God, you have really remembered the people of Abia, not just in any small measure, but to make it truly God's Own State, from bottom out of 36 heading to no. 1

The man is something else, he has really exposed other governors as criminals. How can he be revolutionizing a state yet not among the highest borrowers.

what then has innoson been producing since, toys?
anybody wey say hin nor tire for this country ehn, need medical checkup.

It’s really disgusting and disturbing to hear this fish brain parading as minister talking. So, if this woman does not understand basic things about car manufacturing, then what’s her business as minister?

Nigeria is really doomed with all these.

Look at the dumb fish brains parading as ministers. So, according to the olodo fish brain, Nigeria does not have vehicle manufacturing? She does not even understand what vehicle manufacturing is all about.

Foolish old man. Disgusting hypocrite 🤮. He is praising noble men that allowed transparent elections in their countries yet he decided to use the most primitive campaign that bordered around ethnic profiling and hatred! He encouraged his supporters to always snatch and run with it and never play by the rules, yet he is here saying rubbish.

Spit!

Lol, when I saw the depressing title, I knew it would be in the South west😆

In UK, they want to pass a bill that will recognise Nigeria as a prison. If passed, people will be sentencing to Nigeria.

That's, I sentence you to 21 years in Nigeria

Evil doers running when no one is pursuing. Criminals!

Cambodia 🇰🇭 what do you intend to do there, if you don’t mind?

What should I do ...
So I secured a visa to vietnam so I decided to book my flight but one of the flight agent told me that I can't board with a one way tickets using a tourist visa ...I didn't know about this on time I thought from the beginning I could go with it now realizing that I can't except I booked a round trip ( return ticket which is expensive and the know am not returning pls which flight can I booked with a one way tickets

First off, what do you intend to do in Vietnam? This is very important because just like the Middle East countries, there is nothing like street hustle here. Otherwise, you will eventually become stranded and frustrated.

About return ticket, you can book a one way ticket with Qatar airways but it’s not advisable. They might not allow you to board or the Vietnamese immigration would stop you on arrival.


So, just pay for a return ticket and simply cancel it on arrival. They will only deduct about $200 or so from it.

Yashita:
I applied for a 2 year full time MSc Data Analytic course of about £8,000 and I was offered a admission of 1 year Computer science course of £21,600 and was advised to accept it.

Na so I just dey look them for my mail. Even if I can save up to that amount within a short period of time, I no dey do.

Not worth it. Complete rip-off, waste of time and resources.

While I agree with most of the things you said, I have some things to add.

How did you get your TESOL/TEFL/CELTA? Was it online, in Nigeria or in Vietnam?

Did you arrive with other vital documents I.e. Degree, IELTS band 7 or above, and police clearance all authenticated in Nigeria before traveling?

While there is a preference for Whites which they disguise as native speakers, Blacks are still getting good offers.

I did my TESOL certification in HCMC & will be traveling to Hanoi this night for authentication and then going to the school I just got a job contract from. Before I left Nigeria, the TESOL certification school assured me that job provision is part of the training I paid for. Before completing my training, they got the job for me. It comes with free accommodation and the pay isn’t much different than what they pay the so-called native speakers. The school will also process my WP.

I think the reputation of the school I did my certification prompted the school to accept me, alongside the fact that I did a 2-minute video introduction as well as having complete documents.

If Nigerians follow the right steps, it will make things easier for them.

Andychinedu:
Okay, I said I was going to talk to you guys in two weeks.
So I went to this province after searching for work for over one week in Hanoi to no avail.
Before I proceed I want to say something very important.
"Any E-VISA is a tourist VISA I don't want to hear say Na Business EVISA oo
I am not saying that you won't be able to get employed with it but you will suffer or even end up not getting employed.
I got a job luckily with an EVISA but as it stands I am still standing with one foot waiting to see the extent my employer will go to help me because they welcomed me to their home.
I have been working for days now but I can not Identify as a staff their because I have an EVISA and the new policy now forbids employers from employing persons with EVISA.
I am still here because the family already accepted me not just because of the job but because of my personality.
Now for those of you who are still planning to come; there are plenty Teaching jobs here in Vietnam but 50% of it are for Native Speakers and About 30% are for White Africans I repeat White Africans the remaining 20% is given to those with connection and complete documents and those who strive for success as I have been doing since the beginning of my Journey.
As you all might know, I did everything my self without the help of any Agent. (Although there are few persons who provided guidance as I Proceeded).
As it stands, if you must come with EVISA, you must Legalized your documents. You must be a Graduate who can Teach and play with Children, You must be fluent equaling a Native Speaker (If you like go forge result, You will add to the numbers of the stranded Nigerians) You Must have an IELTS Result Band 7 or an In-Class TEFL or TESOL when you don't have this and you still want to come then You TESOL must be from a well Recognized Academy like the World TESOL Academy.
You Must have atleast $1500 at hand or in the bank if not you go sure regret am because you must VISA RUN.
I Don't have much strength to type. See you guys Some other time. Let me focus, I have a Class in 2hours and I need to Prepare some IMs.
Good Bye.
I for like add pictures but until I collect my WP and TRC first.

NaijaVietnamese:


I will be in class today, hopefully I will remember to snap with the kids while holding a paper with your name written on it, maybe before or after my teaching. I’m not doing it to prove anything to you or anyone but to show how unreasonable you and some others have been.

Then I will leave the thread for good. I didn’t create it for all these negative energy to ferment. I have enough BTA to last me until I start receiving my salary (which is even going to be higher than I expected). I can also be sending goods to Nigeria if I decide to increase my hustle. There are many Vietnamese goods one can send to Nigeria.

I hope those agents called entanglement and Ronaldo guy will rest now. Anyways, I’m done with the thread.

u3fine:


OP, you're 100% correct on this. The number of Americans, Canadians, UK citizens Australians and other EU citizens traveling to teach in Vietnam is so much that it's now difficult for black non natives mostly from Africa to get the once juicy teaching job in Vietnam.
Please whoever that is planning to come to Vietnam to hustle should better erase that idea. No matter what any AGENT tells or show you, don't believe him or her.
No factory jobs or cleaning jobs here for foreigners.
Aside from teaching (which is VERY competitive now) and maybe digital nomad, it's practically difficult to survive here. Maybe you want to come in to buy goods and ship to Nigeria, fine.
All over vietnam now, because of the relaxation of there tourist visa policy since August 2023, agents (especially from Nigeria and Ghana) has bastardized the visa that they process 90 days visa that cost $50 for over $2000 and promised them milk n honey in Vietnam. At the end of the day, they're all stranded here. As I type, over 20 Nigerians are in detention camp waiting to be deported back to Nigeria because they were caught working with tourist visa.
A word is enough for the wise

God bless you for this input. Anyways, the agents here trying to disguise here will only end up embarrassing themselves.

What you said are 100% facts. However, unfortunately, some African teachers don’t do the right thing by engaging reputable TESOL institutes before coming, instead they use agents and try to hustle through. The institute I used for my TESOL also promised to provide job at the end of my training and they’re already on it. I will be traveling to Hanoi on Sunday to validate my papers because a language school there said I have to provide it so they can commence my WP processing.

It’s foolish to pay agent 2.5 million when that same amount can afford a one month training inclusive of accommodation and job placement.

Na we Dey do ourselves sha.

Ronaldoguy:
ANY FOOLISH PERSON WHO CONTACTS THIS OP WILL GET BURNT, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. If u must eat toad, eat the one with egg, travel to a good country and avoid crime. There is nothing in Vietnam, I work directly with Vietnamese here in the US and they are one of the asian countries that send the most people to cross the US border illegally every year. Vietnam is farther than Nigeria to the US and have a lower population than Nigeria, yet more Vietnamese cross US border illegally than Nigerians, think about it. Something must be chasing them since Vietnam is not at war. if they are not running away for their life, it must be for economic reasons. It is someone wey don chop go learn english, so dead the thought of going to teach english in Vietnam and dont get scammed by thieves like this OP.

When ignorant people talk with so much arrogance, I find it disgusting. There is nothing in Vietnam? Lol. Are Chinese people not crossing the border into US? So, there is nothing in China too?

You claim to be in the United States yet your IQ is like that of someone who hasn’t stepped out of his village. Firstly, the official language here is Vietnamese but their government & private sector are investing heavily in English language education because they understand it would help them. Thousands of Westerners are leaving America, UK, Australia to teach in Vietnam, I guess they’re stupid to do that? We are 11 that came for the program in my set, I’m the only African & only Black, the rest came from the West.

In District 1, there are probably more foreigners, particularly from USA/UK/Australia/Europe than locals, so if there is nothing in Vietnam, why are they all coming here?

People from USA or UK can come to teach in Vietnam and find it rewarding enough (some even go to Cambodia that is lesser developed than Vietnam because they don’t have a degree), but you believe someone from a poor country like Nigeria won’t find it rewarding, doing same job those Whites are doing? Even when the Nigerian has the added advantage of doing business which those Whites can’t do?

Do you even know what is called comparative advantage?

You’re too dull abeg & must still be living in your village.

I have seen lots of Nigerians stranded in Go Vap and district 2. They were deceived by agents about non existent factory jobs (such jobs are for the locals and some Nigerians that even managed to get them were later fished out). Their papers have all expired and they’re hopeless. You can’t even do such jobs with tourist visa and work permit is vetted before they grant it.

I’m always deeply disturbed whenever I see them because they’re wasting away their youthful age.

It’s after observing their situation that understood why some of them end up doing crimes despite knowing the severe penalties attached to it.

I hated agents for destroying their future with false promises. It’s the same situation in many Middle East countries like UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and other places where agents deceived some Nigerians that they would be gainfully employed on arrival, just so they could get their money.

Anyways, logical thinking people will always avoid such pitfalls while gullible ones end up as victims.

Entanglement:
agent oshey baddest!

Now gullible people for don full your DM dey ask you this and that, na there you dey get your customers to decieve go were them no supposed to go!

Hi and Good day. Sorry where is HCMC?

Vietnam 🇻🇳

udofia234:
Good afternoon house! pls I need your candid advise, pls I just got an opportunity to travel to Qatar, I. want to know if it's a better place to hustle.

My plan is to hustle for a while and relocate to either the UK or any good European country. pls I need your advice

You really need to be very careful so you don’t run from frying pan to furnace. On my trip to HCMC, I met an Igbo guy at Doha during our switch to another. He told me that there was nothing in Qatar 🇶🇦 for him to do. No hustles at all and that was why he is moving to Vietnam to try his luck.

I told him that Vietnam isn’t much different from Qatar in terms of hustle as well, but he said at least he could be sending goods to Nigeria.

All these Middle East countries is not worth it, especially if you’re going to hustle your way. Qatar, Dubai, Bahrain etc would frustrate you if you’re not careful. Many Nigerians in those places are currently stranded.

Now I understand why some people often get pissed off and abandon threads they opened to pass vital information. I might still go that route so that these ones shouting agent will rest.

Entanglement:
travel agent spotted!

Only a fool will fall prey into your scam activities

It seems travel agents have ripped you off before and that’s why everyone is a travel agent in your eyes.

If only some of you will apply common sense, you will see that I have been encouraging people to do it themselves and not use agent. Why will a travel agent advise people to do it themselves?

I almost went to class late this morning because I was trying to make this post quickly before going to training.

Anyways, smart ones will key in while others are shouting agents.

For those that might be interested in teaching ESL in Vietnam, below are the prerequisites you must have in place:

1. A university degree.
2. IELTS (with a minimum score of band 7).
3. A TESOL or CELTA certification.
4. Police clearance.

In addition to all that, you should be able to speak and write English fluently.

I’m surprised that there seem to be more South Africans and even Ghanaians working as ESL teachers in South East Asia than Nigerians, despite our huge population and English being our Lingua Franca.

For those who do not possess a degree, you should consider going to Cambodia. They still accept ESL teachers without degree. However, Vietnam has become a lot more strict.

KashApp:
I will like to visit this country

Honestly, there are many reasons why Vietnam is a beautiful country to visit. They love foreigners and are always friendly and helpful.

They get excited whenever they see Black person and try to get into conversation with you, especially if you smile back at them. Most of them speak little or no English. But it doesn’t stop them from saying hello.

The cost of living here is very cheap and that’s why lots of Westerners are going there to enjoy themselves.

verminnel:
thanks a lot..but if I want to follow up with this now is getting a vietnamese visa difficult

No, I don’t think getting a Vietnamese visa is difficult. You can easily apply online for the 90-day E-visa. But you need to have a back up link.

Your priority is how to maximize that 90-day allowance so you could get a job and the accompanying work visa. Otherwise, you would have to do a visa run to the neighboring countries and return again. It can be costly and stressful as well.

Ronaldoguy:
I am sure u are a travel agent looking for victims, we know ur style. Justwise should delete this thread asapp. Why do u want to mislead ur country men. Foolish people will believe that Vietnam is better for an economic refugee than Canada/ US/UK like that.....dey play

Is this willful ignorance or just tomfoolery?

Anyways, you need to read again to understand what the post is all about. To help you, I specifically mentioned Nigerians going to do ESL teaching or digital nomad! Anything aside that might be suicidal for Nigerians in Vietnam.

I have seen lots of Nigerians who are stranded here and they were probably deceived by agents. You will see some of them hanging around some African restaurants that are owned by Igbos. They usually beg me for money whenever I go to eat and I give them if I have.

You can do menial jobs in advanced countries and still make money for investments back home. They have hard currency and they lack citizens to do those undesirable jobs, unlike developing countries where there are enough citizens ready to do such menial jobs.

Be guided!

[b]People go to the UK and Canada not just because of education but the purpose of getting a second citizenship and more opportunities after being a citizen. [/b]You cant become a citizen in vietnam and even if you managed to hack it, vietnam has one of the worlds weakest passports on par with African countries.

[b]You should have looked for opportunites to teach english in countries like mexico, peru, colombia [/b]where you can be a citizen and their passports are strong with multiple benefits.

At the part I highlighted in the first paragraph, you’re quite right. Getting permanent residency in Canada is a top priority for those going there to study. However, there are also some cons with living in Canada or some other developed countries. The frenetic work pace and working more shifts to keep pace with living standards doesn’t appeal to everyone.

Teaching English in those Latin American countries you listed can’t be compared with South East Asia. It’s never as lucrative in terms of salary, acceptance by the locals and other economic prospects like export of goods. Also, the cost of living in South East Asia, particularly Vietnam is quite low yet you get high value for your money. You can get a nice furnished one room for just $200 monthly. Internet is cheap and most public places have free Wi-Fi. Food is dirt cheap and so is transportation. Yet you earn higher than those in Latin America.

Being a teacher with experience and having the certifications can open doors to other countries as well. I don’t even intend to stay in Vietnam for long, it’s a periodic adventure for me.

Aside the certificate you will get from the school which has become a prerequisite anyway, you will enjoy lots of fun. I have had more fun in just a few weeks after my arrival than I have had since over a year!

The Americans sure know how to maximize fun activities. We have been to clubs, bars, restaurants, karaokes etc.

The school even hosted a surprise birthday party for me! I didn’t know they took note of my birthday on the forms I filled and after class, they organized a surprise birthday for me.

My fellow trainees also took me out to a Korean restaurant in the evening. It was all fun & everyone related well with each other.
