If not for bad economy and security, Nigeria is better than any other country out there.



Though having very dull citizens is also contributing to our problem.

If they could spend just one year in a language school, they'll learn German or Dutch.
stayed in on particular country for 5yrs and I still can't understand the language undecided

Language is not easy to learn and not everybody has that ability to grab language.
I often admire people who can speak more that 3 language

uk is actually the best place to be on the planet right now BUT you must migrate there with like 400 thousand pounds to enjoy it. anything less than that and uk becomes the worst place to be on planet earth. when you enter with the 400k pounds you look for house for areas like new cross ( try not to go to places where you are the only black person. go to where you are close to your culture and foods. new cross is beside peckham but far enough not to be in the madness ), buy a house in new cross for 300 thousand pounds cash down. then just relax and enjoy your life without worrying about slaving to find expensive rent that will eat all your salary. so now that you have house paid for just learn a digital skill and do it from home 24 7 electricity and you are not far from naija people and foods ( peckham ). this is how you enjoy london . if you go to london as a broke man you are OYO ooooo. me i done talk my own sha

LANGUAGE FACTOR IS PRIMARILY THE REASONS WHY MOST NIGERIAN PREFER GREAT BRITAIN.

Nigeria is an English Speaking country and Nigerian feel that they will not go through the stress of learning German, Dutch, Danish, Norwagian, and French Language that are a requirement in the other european countries that you mentioned before they finally settle down in Great Britain.

Colonial historical factors as most Nigerians have family members that have settled over in the United Kingdom for generations like big time lawyers, solicitors, accountant, teachers etc

They feel that their relations who are citizens of those country will give them some assistance in United Kingdom when they arrive.

This is why lots of Nigerian immigrants go through hell to be in over-saturated places like the UK and the US. The world is huge, you cant limit yourself to anglophone countries because you don't want to learn a new language.

And if you actually want to live a rich life, learning a new language is one of them. Language is the vehicle in which cultures relate to the outside world, you miss out big time if you speak just one, or even a few.

Do you know how many French speaking african citizens living in france due to language barrier?
Language itself is a culture.It is difficult to adapt to in a country where you arent so vast in their language.
This is from a personal experience.

na wa ooo


I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I prefer to stay in Abuja than languishing in stupid UK. I have lived in UK for Four good years, before my family finally settled in Sweden, so I know what I am saying.



Nigeria is the best place to live if you have money, and am here f*cking as many side-chics I want with massive respect.

As I always say abroad is not for everyone, if it work for you thank God, if it don't no shame like me relocate back, for me though my family are OK there.


peace out

I meant the ‘cash down’ part

What are the chances of a Nigerian who can afford a one off £300k (approx 160 + million Naira) cash payment for a house looking to japa in the first place when they can enjoy ‘Tinubu’s Lagos’ instead? He won’t have the problems of the common man

UK is easier to enter than those other countries you mentioned.
And one thing I know about traveling is that, the easier it is to enter a country the harder it'd be to succeed over there.

If you get to any country and see a significant or a very high population of Nigerians? trust me, it's not a good omen but a giant red flag!

Ease of getting the student visa is why many japa there. To get dates or visa approval for many of these European countries no easy. Uk has also take thousands of Nigerian nurses, doctors, IT guys and auditors more than all the countries you mentioned combined. Plus no language barrier
Na effect of brexit be dat. Dem go hear wheen. UK had not been this lenient with visa issuance. I remember how many times I applied before my visa was finally granted years back, despite meeting all their requirements.

Brexit had caused them to lose some professionals who were mainly Europeans so, they're looking for replacement. Covid-19 com spoil show for them. They never saw it coming
