Isn't it obvious. Apart from it being better than this country as regards quality of life. There is no language barrier.
Canada,the US and the UK will naturally be the first choices

You're making an interesting analogy. The reason most of them love UK is becos of compatibility in language. Most people in UK would love to go for shopping in Germany. Things are cheaper in Germany and Netherlands than UK. There's racism by style in UK and holland, but in Germany, Belgium and France, they don't hide it.when they get to London, they will no that khaki nor be leather.

You are wrong. The average Nigerian with that slave mentality would Wana leave for any of those European countries mentioned by op..

Let German government make an announcement they would be needing 500 thousand Nigerians ....trust me, the number of entries would exceed 50 million..
would you say they considered language?

UK is currently facing serious economic crisis and some other few crises too but why do Nigerians keep flocking UK .. There are other by far better countries in Europe that offers everything way better than UK..

You will be surprised to see the population of Nigerians in London..you will think you are in Lagos ..Nigerians just scatter for London..

Try Germany, Netherlands. Denmark, Norway Even France ..this countries ain’t bad either
language barrier is not a joke o.
Who wants to learn a new language.

Its not late, you have to practice the language. If you had a friend or a family member who you can always speak with, you will improve drastically., Each day you could dedicate an hour to just practice, before you know you become an expert. smiley smiley

I’ve been to France, loved Marseille and most of the people speak English, although not fluently.
Cool people and great food but too many Arabs. I’d rather live in France than UK. I regret not focusing on my French classes back then. i for get more options and could live in Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and others.

Poland beside UK , are you joking? Most of my friends who flew to Poland when e dey hot den are now in Uk and us , expect you know get the money for UK




UK is not the final destination of some folks fleeing there, it's just a transit point to their final destination.

And some of these options that you've mentioned, do you know how difficult it is to get a date for Visa appointment especially Germany and Poland but if they apply from the U.K their applications will be processed faster After all, how many people are moving from U.K to these countries.

Think of it this way, it's way easier to move from U.K to other European countries than moving from Nigerian.

And finally, you people should quit with the U.K threads, not everyone going there are fools. Or maybe, you're just another paid government agent.[/quote]

No doubt there are jobs.

But bills and monthly rent will take everything from you.

Imagine if you earn ₦50,000 in Nigeria, and your monthly rent is ₦10,000 .

You now have to pay for electricity that can carry your air-conditioning daily cos if you don't put it on you will suffer the heat.(₦10,000)

Then you pay for water. (₦2,000)
Then your feeding and transportation. ₦25,000

I'm using Nigeria so that you will understand what people in UK are going through.

What of social mobility? Britain's scores very high in social mobility for immigrants if you have your papers. For others, you may be stuck in low pay jobs for life.

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

1.Language...they already speak English (Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, France....you have to learn a new language first. Which on top of hustle...added work)

2.Former colonial master, so it is somewhat familiar.

3.A large community of Nigerians are already there.

4.Pound is still a stronk currency.
