My Experience In Ukraine: A Must Read by Owerri1stSon: 9:51am On Oct 09, 2021
Hello guy, hope you good.

I now agree that the best platform to get first-hand information is Nairaland. Please, always have a critical and in-depth rethought about those comments you read here about a particular decision you are about to take.

Before coming down here to Ukraine, I read awful comments about the country here on nairaland. Comments like lack of jobs, colossal corruption, and high rate of poverty in Ukraine, but man must leave Naija na. No time.

I was like no matter how eh bad, it can never be worst than Naija.

Before I came here, I knew Ukraine was not cool but on my arrival, I got to know how worst Ukraine is.

I asked my agent if one could move from Ukraine to other European countries after entry, they assured me that it is very easy. grin.

So I started the journey, paid all I needed to pay, the assurance fee was 600k, flight ticket with Turkish airline was 700k (round ticket).

Zoooo00om... I was in Ukraine, and that is when I realised I just entered second chance.

If you are a foreigner with the hope of getting a job in Ukraine, well, sorry to burst your bubbles, you are getting no job here.

Before you can get a waiter or dispatcher job here, you need a knowledge of the Russian language.

Their top lecturers survive on $400 monthly, how much more do their junior lectures? Rents are very high here, it goes up to 300-400 USD. Most of their men have no jobs how much more foreigners? Ukraine is known to be the 2nd poorest country in Europe.

I know of a Naija guy who was very stranded that he had to ask one of her white lady friends If she knows where he can see even bricklaying job, the lady's answer was, 'even her with masters have no job, how much more a foreigner?'

An Indian man was lamenting to me, telling me how he regretted coming to Ukraine and he has been here for 6 months. He is looking for any opportunity to go back home.

The only job foreigners can get here is "Call Center Jobs" that is, after an intensive interview. If you fail their simulation, you will keep running from one call centre to another, looking for a job. And even these call centre jobs are scams. Both regulated (with license) and non-regulated.

The interesting part of these call centre jobs is that the government knows about these centres, and they know they run scam organisations but they choose to close their mouth because the government are usually being settled but these organisations.

Ukraine is the HQ of scams and poverty but they have ways of hiding it from the world. 70 percent of their men are idle, most of them are drunks and does nothing other than drink and sleep by the roadside.

If not online work (not scam), I for done kpeme for this country oh. I am planning to move to Poland next year.

Key points you should take note of about Ukraine

* No Jobs for foreigners

*Almost 95 per cent of them speaks Russia/Ukrainian, the language barrier is second to none. Sometimes before you buy something from a store, it will take you 30 minutes.

* Not easy to move from Ukraine to other European countries, although, it is possible with money and the right documents. But how do you get this money when there is no work and you are not even allowed to work.

Please, avoid Ukraine except your papa get money if not, as you ball in, you go still reason to ball back to Naija back.

Hmmm. From Owerri to Ukraine. Hmmm. Let me check first if you're one of us patriotic Nigerians and not those supporting ipob terrorists . If you are one of those supporting ipob terrorists, I will not even bother because it will be a waste of time.



Edit.

You are not one of those supporting IPOB terrorists in the SE.

My advice to you is to keep doing the online jobs to build up resources for other opportunities in the future. I noticed that you were mentioning USDs, I thought they spend Euros.

May God bless you.

Except one is from a dysfunctional family, there's no time home is not home. Those from dysfunctional families can afford to stay far away from 'home' because they don't have a home in the first place.

All the folks I know who stay for years turning into decades overseas do so because they are from dysfunctional families here at home and one mistake they make is that they think their foreign hosts don't know. They know wink.

You can't come from a good family and unwittingly or wittingly stay overseas for years. It's not because Nigeria is not yet paradise, it's because you're from a dysfunctional families here in Nigeria. Running won't stop it except you want your children to run away from you too in the future. Build a functional home where ever you are, especially here in Nigeria so you don't raise a generation of second class citizens abroad.

It's the negative mindset some folks have towards this land that is their major problem. You can't keep cursing the land and expect it to release its blessings to you. If you go overseas with same negativity, same thing will happen. So for many others, home is still home sir.

Naija is not good but is not the worst country in the world.

I still maintain, Nigeria is the only country you can call your own..
It's not always greener on the other side..

The negativity I read online especially here on nairaland will make someone think Nigeria is a hell on earth..

I love here, am happy, don't know why you shouldn't?
Not that my life is the best but I choose to find happiness where I am rather than dreaming of been a 2nd class citizen in another man country coupled with the racial abuses and stuffs..

God bless Nigeria

East or West, home is the best
Re: My Experience In Ukraine: A Must Read by olioxx(m): 11:59am On Oct 09, 2021
Okay sir I have read your comments about Ukraine, and I have to say that indecisive people are those that move to countries like Ukraine.
Not all abroad is abroad. Some people just want to travel out of Nigeria without planning, they are the one that will travel to just about any country, and when things red they will start complaining.
.
I tell people that you need to narrow your mind to specific countries, no be to ko just enter aeroplane travel anyhow.
.
I know a man who got job in USA from Nigeria, and he never regretted moving. If you have goals of joining the japa ministry, you have to do your homework, and stop complaining about how one country no play you well.
.
And to those saying no place like home, look there are many places that are better than home. If you still say that dysfunctional families is the cause of the mindset that other places are better than home, then you are wrong. I have a functional family, and I can say that I am tired of this country.
.
During Covid - 19 period, our fucking government didn't care how I survived. They killed our youths. Nothing works in this country.
.
In summary, to those that might be reading this: If you want to travel overseas, do your homework well so as not to be telling us story that touch.
And to OP, I have always known that Ukraine is a shithole drug infested country, even Poland you are about moving to, nah God go help you for there. Those guys are hard core bare metal racists.

.
You too look at the countries you are mentioning, Dubai, Cyprus etc. Those countries are shithole.
Edited: My bad for naming Dubai shithole, but remember that the UAE is very ambivalent about Nigerians. So I won't advice traveling there except if conditions are right.
.
With the way things are trajecting in this country, home is not home for some people like me.
My Uncle at Fakale ran away from his house because of stupid herdsmen, and you are telling me home is home. If you lose your job today, will the government care about you? What if you are sick, will anybody give a damn? Go to General Hospital and look at the system there, it is shit.
If Nigeria plays you well, fine for you, but some of us are going through tough times in this country.

Just to be clear; people who have diligently done their homework know Ukraine is not a migrant friendly country, in fact, that Ukrainians are trooping to neighbouring Poland in search of opportunies attest to this. That said, migration is a thing of choice, and not for everyone. It can make(best decision some have made) or break(worst others have make) you, so choose wisely.
