The average Nigerian looks at any country that's not in Africa as better than Nigeria. This is not true, however living in Nigeria is easier and better than living in some of these countries abroad. The harsh living conditions, racism, scarce jobs, no one would tell you to run back home. I'm an active supporter of JAPA group but japa must be done with adequate and meticulous PLANNING coupled with self research on the internet, join forums , get information. Don't just leave everything into someone's hand especially a Non-regulated travel agent.

These countries are in no particular order.
Azerbaijan: More or less like AZZA-baijan. For the Azza boys. This country is as terrible as it sounds. I have a friend who was swindled by a travel agent to this country because it was in quote "in Europe".

Bulgaria: That a country is in Europe doesn't mean it is good to be in. If you wish to be safe in Europe, stick to the Schengen countries. Bulgaria is in Europe but not a Schengen country. Jobs opportunities are slim here. Money always develop wings like eye lashes.

Cyprus: As easy as admissions can be into this country( especially for Africans), this is not a place to be except you are from the Otedolas and you won't need to hustle while you school abroad. Job opportunities are few, the environment is naturally hard for a hustler in Cyprus.

Kuwait: Not every oil producing country get oil money. Kuwait has consistently been ranked as one of the least in the world for the ease of settling in. Most foreign residents say they do not feel at home. Heavy work with low pay.

Russia: Life can be a bit okay in European Russia (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Sochi etc ). Many find it hard with weather and you can't live well without speaking Russian. Job opportunities are scarce and your skin colour is also a big factor.

Turkey: Turkey is an awesome place for business and tourism. But not everyone has found this country easy. It is one of the worst countries for foreign families and children. There are no clear pathways to settlement upon graduation. Jobs are scarce and it also reeks of political instability

Notable mentions.
Eastern Europe: Croatia, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Serbia, Albania, Georgia

Asia & Middle East: India, Oman, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and all the stans

Most South American countries including Peru(Peru don dey para)

Ps:- Please note that this list isn't targeted at anyone. That a country is listed doesn't mean you may not be able to survive there. Majority of our data comes from world population rankings and real life experiences.

Unfortunately people will still go to these countries believing their case will be different. Some people are currently heading to libya via agadez right now. Despite all the instability and slavery there. Immigration today is not what it used to be. White women that usually marry Nigerians so they can get papers are reducing by the numbers too. Think am well before you japa

Great list! The fear of Buhari causes desperation, I tell you most solemnly.

Lol you can still make money and be madly rich in any country if you are blessed and favoured.

I know a man who contested the just conducted governorship election in anambra and was in the top 6. He made his money from Congo and is now a big player in the oil industry.
I still know somebody who has airline but he's based in mozambique

The most important about going abroad is that you have people who are doing well in the country if not you will suffer be it USA, Canada or Denmark

His choice of words makes his post pleasing to read. And yes op is right when he said "most" South American economies are struggling. For anyone abrest with global finacial developments, this is not a new information,neither is it suprising.

It's a god witeup op..

But the average nigerian suffering go still talk say, 'if I see my way go any country,na go be that'.

I keep telling Nigerians this but will they listen? I guess many of them will have to find things out the hard way.

Why did you put Kazakhstan there? Kazakhstan is better than Nigeria especially when you get a teaching job

What is your problem with Nigerians who want to leave this hellfire of a country?why are you this wicked? Any country is better than Nigeria right now, and you know we are the most hardworking people and we will become successful in any situation. Stop this negativity.

Any country will be better .....especially if you get a teaching job. Will you get a teaching job? Didn't you see how many came back not only broke ... but broken from Libya? I guess they didn't get a teaching job.

This is the type person OP is targeting.... but this kind person bullet proof.

Any country is better than Nigeria? Why do you guys keep pushing people into unknown suffering, do you know how many people languishing in foreign countries that are even looking for a return ticket to run back home? Nigeria is bad, Nigeria is bad but not everyone would Japa, People are still making money daily in this country, people are still becoming millionaires in this country, there's money in this country especially business. Don't push people to make life decisions without proper research and planning.

A majority, just like you, are getting the point entirely wrong! The desperation to leave the country, does not only stem from the desire for greener pastures or wealth, but for social security, feeling of safety, access to basic amenities, social welfare, quality healthcare etc. These basic amenities are increasingly getting out of the reach of not just ordinary Nigerians, but also out of the reach of even wealthy Nigerians as evidenced by the rich members of the society travelling out of the country for medical reasons! For others, the political instability and frequent terrorism from UGM, kidnappings, banditry, herdsmen, etc, raise fears for the future of the country and they want to get their children out of this hell-hole as fast as they possibly can.

So, it's not just for the money and good jobs! It's for the feeling of security, safety, and the assurance that they are in a society that works - one where they can find justice should they decide to seek justice for any reason! Overall, peace and security remains on priority list of most japa enthusiasts, before wealth and monetary gains. Only war torn countries are facing the kinds of challenges many Nigerians are currently battling with. Such countries should be avoided at all costs.

We are still on the same page, if you seek to migrate for economical reasons, do proper research and planning otherwise you'll still encounter worse problems than those you mentioned. Not just to travel to any country outside Nigeria

No this sounds right. A lot of Nigerians are lazy, always wanting it easy, no proper research nothing!!!!!

All these copy and paste bloggers . With no adequate research. Imagine talking about South Cyprus. Do you know that South Cyprus minimum wage is higher than Greece who is in Schengen country region.

South Cyprus (800 euro)
Greece (400)

My Greece colleague at work in south Cyprus told me, and this is the guy who had 7.6 in Electrical electronic and MBA in UK, so he had to run to South Cyprus for job.

Oga Romanian, Greece, bulgeria and UK are the major European workers in south Cyprus presently.

I had the best MBA which your country could not give to me, infact your number university no near my university in ranking. 450 in the world.

I payed all my expenses with my part time job, and still send little I can to my family.

Una go dey do copy and paste without adequate research. While foreign blogger would take there time to travel, get an adequate fact.

Nigeria ehenn. God will help our bloggers

What about china?

But can I easily move from there to another country cause some countries it's difficult to move to another country

The problem with this mindset is that before you relocate to another country from Romania or wherever to get a long term visa, you have to become financially stable or at least better off in a way to relocate except again you get the Work Visa or Student Visa of that your dream country.

Majority of the Japa families are doing that because of money not what you just listed. if you said Nigeria is worst than other country in terms of security visit Afghanistan let see. Who no go no go know....... there are many like you suffering outside Nigeria because of this mindset.my advise go as visit to the country first before you finally relocate so you know what to expect to aviod premium tears at last or involve yourself into illegal business just to survival, lots of Nigerians are doing it right now because they have no chioce. it was not their initial plan while doing that they keep tarnishing Nigeria image.

Nigerians are not travelling for those things you listed; they are travelling for the money. Simple as that!! And who even told you that you'd get those things you listed in the countries mentioned by the OP?
