Some of those EU countries just have big names but not too good for immigrant as a result of their economy and language barrier e.g. Spain, Germany and France 13 Likes |

Mitishi: These are old businesses that know how to avoid tax and pay little. EUROPE is a dead zone for anything success, if you cant speak their various languages, you can't live a good life. Foreigners in the United states are better off than foreigners in Europe. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

OBUKOMENA you meant you just want to smuggle yourself into another man's country without having a properly executed plan? Those suffering over there are those that didn't plan their lives well. To succeed abroad, you must have a degree and well sort after skills. What's your plan? What do you intend doing when you get there? In fact, what type of visa are you travelling with? Your status matters alot to succeed abroad. The reason why some struggle abroad is due to their status. Majority don't have legal status to even work nor reside in the host country. They hide from January till December. How do you expect such people to be faring as illegal immigrants? Did you ask your friend about his status there? Do the right thing and ensure you use the right medium to relocate not through illegal relocation. 20 Likes |

frankmoney: The only time people abroad call me with whatsapp is when my network is bad on normal phone call. I don't think it's as expensive for them as it is for us. Also,I feel he is not the only one asking that friend for money.How many people does he want to send to? @ fieryy do you have any input for the OP? 3 Likes |

frankmoney: I'm not sure it is necessarily because of cost. If you have unlimited data you pay for, why spend more putting those calls through? There are plans that come with some minutes of international calls but most don't end up using theirs since they can easily reach people in what's app and make video calls with it. 4 Likes |

Soooo because someone is calling you on WhatsApp and he didn't get you what you wanted, it means he isn't doing well??I and most of the Diasporeans on NL have all done the above statement, does that mean we aren't doing well??

Take it from someone who lives abroad (real abroad o!). If you have a vision for your life, it may die abroad. You may end up in a small apartment with electricity, cheap Coca Cola and fatty burgers. You may get married and have kids. Soon, you will start consoling yourself with the lie that you did it for your children. The truth is, you sacrificed your dreams. Before you know it, you are 50 and the thought of coming back to Naija with nothing to fall back on haunts you. Even your friends would have moved on, some of them significantly better than you. So, to save face, you stay back. Out of frustration, you insult Nigeria from abroad and say she will never be well, but deep down, you know it's frustration. See ehn, make I tell you the truth, if you have a steady income that is reasonable in Nigeria, seek ways to build additional sources of revenue. Choose a quiet state/city to live in and enjoy your life. I am not saying you shouldn't travel o! So many Nigerians/immigrants are doing well also. Just think am well, because the abroad of the mid-80s and early 90s that our uncles went to doesn't exist anymore. Make e be like dat. 58 Likes 7 Shares |

Dextre:Vacations aren't a big deal in Europe. You can travel to 3 different countries for vacay on less than 150 pounds, which evidently is affordable for a minimum wage earner. Visa isn't required for travel and air ticket is ridiculously cheap. 13 Likes 1 Share |

@OBUKOMENA: No country is a bed of roses. Every country has citizens that feel their government can do better. They have opposition politicians that feel the government in power is a disaster. Some citizens only see gloom and doom while others feel they'll rather keep pushing till things get better for them (you may not realize this until you actually travel out). Believe it or not, there are some foreigners in Nigeria who feel they're better off here than in their own country. Immigration is not a new phenomenon, it is as old as time itself. And it may not always be the solution to all the problems of the immigrants. It is what it is. 10 Likes 1 Share |

If you do not have a valid and legit permit that will allow you to work and live in Germany, don't go anywhere near the country or any other country in Europe for that matter. It is the millions of individual Africans without paper who keep complaining about how hard life is in Europe. You'll end up working menial jobs regardless of your academic or professional qualifications. It is now very difficult to find someone to marry for papers unlike in the very early noughties when all you had to do was get a visitor visa, hop on a plane to Europe and the law will turn a blind eye to your arranged marriage. Don't waste the greater part of your youth. OBUKOMENA: 12 Likes 1 Share |

RodgersAkpafu: Maybe you should reread my post to grasp the crux of my comment. Since the Op is feeling conflicted about emigrating to Germany on account of the economic status (either real or imagined) of others that are either there presently or once lived there, then maybe he needs to reevaluate his purpose for going abroad, lest he ends up disappointed. The best that any foreign country can offer an immigrant are better economic opportunities. But even with that, such countries are bound to present their own unique challenges. Therefore, intended immigrants should 'shine their eyes' and manage their expectations so that they don't end up disappointed. Comprende?? 14 Likes 1 Share |

thebosstrevor1: See this zombie. Say what you know! It still shocks me that a typical Nigerian (especially a BMC) would adjudge taxation evil. No, Sir! Germany and a lot of these first world nations are self-sufficient because taxes are put to good use. They even have enough to loan your lifeless President. But no, Nigerians want to enjoy the good things of life, or the lack thereof, without paying taxes. 8 Likes 1 Share |
