Happy New Month to you all, this is gonna be my first post on this travelling thread. mehn, I am fed up with this country.. I've logged finished my B.sc since 2014 but I delayed my masters because I knew it's not worthy in this country.

Hence I've made up my mind to travel out only via STUDENT ROUTE because it's the only gurantee way. I have for long blank my mind of UK, Canada, Germany, US because of cost and visa denials lately plus I am done playing around lustfully for those countries when there are coded countries to have my masters and have high chances of coming out successful.

Note, in this journey called life, we only hope but we don't give up, hence I've streamlined my travelling (study route) to these countries.

South American Countries i.e Preferably Brazil, Uruguay and Mexico

so my question, whats your take/suggestion/experience/information about these countries... your feedback is not gonna deter me but guide me because my mind is made up plus it's a study visa route (cos that is more gurantee).

please I need y'all input

It's great that you have set a goal for your study path.
South American countries are good to study in, however there is one small challenge that could become a major hindrance in your quest, that is "Language"...

You might ask how? Well the thing is, English is rarely used for academic delivery on graduate study programmes i.e masters et al, as well as for academic admissions in most South American countries... basically even to pursue the graduate admissions procedure would be very challenging, because you would barely have correspondence in English from many institutions. This has left many aspiring students to leave their quests halfway done, due to the fact that they got fed up at some point. To solve this challenge, familiarise yourself with either Spanish or Portuguese in the case of Brazil. .. essentially, take Language classes as it is very important.

However in the absence of that challenge, many South American countries are truly wonderful... in terms of affordable living costs, great weather, ease of obtaining residency in the long run, happy/exciting lifestyles, cheaper education etc...

I would however recommend that you do an indepth research about schooling in Costa Rica... Thank me later.

Jorussia:
I don't think Russia care much about who the President of the united States is.There is a consensus among Republicans and Democrats to counter Russia military,economic and geopolitical interest around the globe.Russia entered Syria and Ukraine during the admin of Obama and remained there till now,and i don't see anything changing anytime soon.

What are you talking about?

The Kremlin is very interested in the next American president, because in this case Biden is more likely to consolidate European alies against Russia... that is a major worry, especially since Russia has a particular case with Ukraine. Russia's thorn in the flesh now is Europe and an American supported Europe is not what the Kremlin would appreciate.

Trump on the other hand is disconnecting the US from unnecessary alliance's like NATO, which is a major relief for Russia.

Secondly Biden and Harris would be rather weak when it comes to head on power confrontations, they would opt for diplomacy and by the book resolutions unlike the Trump antics which were erratic and unconventional...that worked with stubborn governments like Russia to make blind deals, sometimes even Putin didn't understand Trump despite their strange relationship. However there was an understanding.

Lastly try to understand that Obama and Russia were not the best of pal's and Biden only brings back bad memories, so you think Russia is not interested?

Like seriously what is this?

Almost every body on that list have Phds/Doctorates...

The Nigerian Army, in conjuction with this present government didn't expect the outcry to be this loud. They were very desperate to disperse protesters and thought brute force coupled with senseless killings will send people back to reset mode, which is the typical docile nature of Nigerians. First, they denied ever being at Lekki that night, while Sanwo-Olu indicted them and Buhari on CNN. Buratai had initially boasted that a travel ban on his person wouldn't mean anything because he made his first international travel at 50+.

Seeing that the heat was becoming unbearable, the NA confessed Sanwo-Olu requested for their intervention but that they did not shoot at all. Knowing he had been roped in, Pointus lost his voice immediately and has since remained dumb despite the growing calls for the release of the CCTV footage of that night. The pressure on Sanwo-Olu was why the FG sent in a former governor (Fashola) to discover a Bosch LTC 0630/21 Dinion surveillance camera without a lens at the 'crime scene'.

The initial narrative was to make the 'discovered' camera the lead evidence of the Lekki Massacre while the excuse would be that the CCTV cameras at the toll gate were not powered on as a result of the blackout. The plan was to sell a 'damaged camera' narrative since it was 'found' at the scene of the crime. The end game was to avoid the obvious truth; people were killed and the military took away bodies.

The international community is watching and the government must sell a believable narrative to sane, angry Nigerians and its allies. The government never thought this twist would be as weighty as this.

Bro you deserve a barrel of beer �

Seriously, before they said they didn't shoot, now they shot live bullets.

However I will edit my post

fuckingAyaya:
Ur dad is daft

Your analysis is absolutely accurate on various levels

Na waah o...
Nigeria is indeed in trouble

My people migrate ooooo....

Na waah o

Loooool
Morale needed

Appswheel:
I bet the recycled Politicians are not happy and #ENDBADGOVERNANCE



I salute the courage and bravery of all the young men and women who put their lives on the line to protest peacefully and demand responsible leadership.

There is a lot that must end in Nigeria;
#ENDSARS
#ENDQUOTASYSTEM
#ENDCORRUPTION
#ENDNEPOTISM
#ENDRECYCLED&FAILEDLEADERS

Most importantly, in the election year 2023 , the Nigerian Youths must come out en-masse to vote out recycled leaders who continue to see Nigeria as a cash cow.

May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercies of God rest in Peace.

Wait till 2023?? Bros I am sorry, but you have not caught the vision yet... Docile days are over
That bloodshed was not in vain

[quote author=Hadampson post=95089873][/quote]@Bolded, Yes but it is too far.

That's true, the discouraging thing about New Zealand is that insane distance.
However I personally like the lifestyle and scenery of New Zealand.
In the end it all depends on you ...
But might I chip in that given your profile, your best shot at immigration would be going through the student route.

Hadampson:
Lol.. These countries aren't worth it to me

Your contribution is highly needed especially on South American countries. Gracias

Glad to be pulled in here.
I am happy that you are doing proper research before your migration, and that's all sorts of brilliant.

Latin America is really underrated I would say, but for good reason... the language. Once you format your self to reside in any of the countries there for example Chile, you kinda get stuck there because they slowly seep into your soul and you get attached (South American magic) I know a guy who went to Paraguay in the plan that he would relocate to an English speaking country after getting papers... today he is married and settled and loves Paraguay to a fault, he got citizenship but trust me he is indeed a proud citizen, who is not thinking about leaving anymore.

Most Latin American countries actually give citizenship/PRs faster than any other country but these things are not known because people don't naturally tilt towards that region I.e Paraguay 3-4years, Chile 4years, Uruguay 3-4yrs, Brazil could even be 2years depending on what happens to you while there i.e you grab the language fast, you got one of their hot women pregnant, or you earn a very fat salary etc.

However as a black guy I would not recommend Argentina to you, because they have a rather subtle way in which their society sends black people to the background.

Schooling is the best route to go towards Latin America and begin your journey but the procedure can be very longwinded especially since most schools there do not have English speaking admissions personnel.

My stance for Europe remains unchanged... its overated.

Have you considered New Zealand?

If I say Nigeria will be better off divided into 2 countries, people will grumble ....

Jayne07:
Apart from Germany, would you recommend any other?

Canada, if you have the requirements

Very soon Nigerians will start immigrating to Madagascar in droves because Buhari would have wrecked every thing completely...

How did this guy get 2nd term?

But seriously, whoever said Satan looks like this?

Olibboy:
Yhu can also use #5 to do ritual.

Savage!

I can picture what must have happened....
She probably must have given her children a good whacking and it got to the ears of the neighborhood who easily dialed 911...

You do not beat children up in the U.S. like you in Africa, the repercussions are usually dire.

Rilwan3628:
When I read some folks comments antagonising some Nigerians who are protesting to be given opportunity by reopening student visa applicants I was astonished!!!!.....Some of u slowpoke and clueless humans are calling or giving them all sort of crude names because ur eyes are just too blind to see any good things from studying abroad! Some even went ahead to say "when u guys read finish u should come back to Nigeria and join" (this sounds like an enemy of progress thingy) that's why I would say the issue we have in Nigeria is not Nigeria herself but some idiot and senseless humans had brought some level demeanor to us...

You guys should wise up, if u think u are ok or fine in Nigeria it is good but mind that doesn't mean u shouldn't make use of brain and take things from other perspective....

You are missing the point completely....
This protest, should have been done at the ministry of foreign affairs.

Nigeria is amongst the red listed countries to visit the EU as regards to corona restrictions, and the ministry of foreign affairs has done nothing progressive to challenge that tag, so what do you expect? No matter how people protest at that embassy, it can't change the EUs policy on travel, as they are battling a second wave of Covid 19.


This is a job for the government, but the government is failing on various levels and of course it's affecting the citizens as well on this regard, try to understand, a visa is a privilege not a right.

stagger:
The issue here is that Nigeria was included in the list of countries that are banned from entering Europe. This is why visa dates are not available. So protesting at the consulate will have little effect. This is what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be doing.

Boss, you deserve a barrel of beer for this post.

When people warn insistently to check up on countries you intend to "go and hussle" before actually making that journey, those warnings are thrown out the window...

Well, long story short, This is what you get.

FlackoJodye:
Thanks Sir,But the latter ideas seem not to work out these days ,So many sad stories all d time

As much as there are sad stories about that, there are also happy stories about marrying from Nigeria.

But for real if that's not your cup of tea, then immerse yourself in the culture and get to understand how to get along with the ladyfolk there. Because I can easily tell you haven't culturally integrated there, You are still using a "Naija mindset" to socialize and that's not going to get you far.

FlackoJodye:
Hey y'all Good Evening or whatever it is in your perspective nations, I'm a Nigerian Immigrant here in the 6ix,been up here for a while now .Next month makes it a year.

So to d topic, I've been searching for a partner to be with here in the 6ix,I've been with White girls,A Korean Chick but not a black Canadian or AA.

And we went along quite right but cultural differences played a huge role in undermining d relationship (the last one was d final straw).

So pls any suggestions for a G.I'm 24 BTW.thanks in advanced God bless Y'all

My advice for you: integrate into Canadian culture properly, then the rest will fall into place.
Otherwise go to Nigeria and marry what you are familiar with, don't forcefeed yourself food you don't understand.

onyechez:
All this your long grammar there's nothing tangible in it, someone that want to talk to you would do so after the person has settled for some time. My cousin traveled to the UK for masters degree, at first I had to allow him settle for some time before I talked to him. I bet you, USA is even better, in the UK like England you would be forced to pay tax through your teeth.

There's nothing tangible? But you successfully summarized my analysis.

Those 7 points I listed are phases most people experience before getting "settled" like you said.

now, that settlement is not an automatic entitlement, there is a process to it. My emphasis is what goes on during that process, that make people to gradually disconnect from home communication. However some never reconnect after getting settled. It's great you established contact with your cousin, however it doesn't happen for everyone.

I bolded your summary so you would catch my drift.

But you got my attention though,
You stated "after the person has settled"... my question for you is;
"is it everyone who travels abroad that gets settled?"

Secondly I was analysing a case of the US as regards to the OP' s question, and you brought UK into the fray(apples and oranges)... My second question for you; "Does the US and UK have the same dynamics of survival as an immigrant?"
