Yes you are correct, they are even in recession.

That's a standardised economy.

It's not easy to get a German visa from Nigeria. It's 16 months wait time for a study visa.

Getting Swedish gals is bit difficult, but gals from other EU/Schengen are easy pick off. But for them to trust you, you gat to move yoiur ass here first!

I have these German gal and a Swiss guy wanting to be my friend. Me na business carry me come here. Them na vacation carry them come here. Imagine they are asking me to hike mountains with them...lol I just told the gal i will try next week... Not interested in a white girl. They can go from 100 - 0 mode in a flash!

Speak of where you have been to or live.
Let me share my experience with you.... Sweden is almost 99.9% cashless society. When i first came here, i didnt come with an ATM Card. No way for me to make payment. But i have USD bills in hundreds. But no SEK. i didnt get means of paying for my apartment, they dont like cash. I went to the metro to use the speed train to go back to the airport where i changed money earlier. But train ticket will soon expire. After discussing with the guy on e-gate, he told me how a tourist had the same issue, and guess what, he simply went inside and brought out his food pack for that night and gave me. He brought out some SEK to add, my dear i told i
him i am not a beggar that i need him to open the gate while i go back to my apartment... He quickly without hesitating book a 39SEK ticket that will take me home. My experience though!

Word of advise: Dont come in as an illegal

[color=#006600][/color]

Yes, illegal entry is not favorable to anyone there. Though, I won't want to discourage anyone just saying the fact.
Sweden is a beautiful place, that's does not mean majority of the people have a beautiful heart towards colored people.

Gerrard59:


Well, no Swede has entered a Norwegian village to slaughter more than 500 farmers. Yen yen yen, they are not nice to foreigners. Una dey nice to una selves?

When you live amongst them you will understand. 9ja matter self worst pass racism. A situation were a fellow countryman go hate he's brother. Among all the immigrants in foreign countries, blacks are the least race that have unity/brotherly love.

tensazangetsu20:

Yes. Nigeria is great to Nigerians

[color=#006600][/color]

9ja matter na talk for another day.

Nigerians are everywhere, the good ones, the bad ones as well. I showed two fellows the way to the Metro this morning a man & a woman. They thought am an American until i told them i am a full blooded naija dude. Guess what? That crooked Nigerian corrupt practice was what they were reporting to me, about the extortion of Nigerians seeking renewal of passports from Stockholm. To the point that they dont allow you to enter the embassy with your mobile phones! They want me to do something about it, but there's little i can do if i am not allowed to go in with my mobile phones cos here, evidence is everything!

Can we really redeem Nigeria?

Kenmatt:

100% true. A white caucasian man showing you racism is better borne than a fellow compatriot showing you racism....

Let me tell you a short story of how our Nigerian brothers behave here. Some of them do shitty jobs, no offense please & carry a shitty altitude with it.

I have whites calling me sir, knowing the kind of connect that brought me to their country. Even at the airport, the immigrations are surprised. I am key to their economy so i can talk to the immigration as i like. Abeg no think say i dey bragg oohhhhh!

When i run into them, they always mistake that i am an American or Brit, they will be showing all kinds of respects, seeking friendships & all that. The moment they find out or maybe i tell them i am Nigerian, because me i dey always like to speak naija pigin when ever i see a fellow Nigerian, come see how they change, trying to impress it on you that they are important whereas na shitty jobs they do..... Las las, they will start telling you to connect them. No be juju be that?
My living abroad for many years has taught me that you dont need to impress anyone that you are important. What you are is actually nobody'd business but yours only!

Lots of Africans are misusing the liberailsm of the Scads. That is why you see a muslim come all the way from Iraq, leave Saudi Arabia, Dubai come Sweden and wants to practice Sharia...no be juju be that? The Swedes are the most beautiful heart person i have ever see among Europeans, that is beside the Swiss. The Swiss are the best! Follow by the Swedes

Any document issued from Nigeria is viewed with suspicion! It has to be vetted through several process.....no be embassy fault abeg!

Like i said earlier on......seeking to leave naija through schooling has cast. Fees are high, visa rejection is high. The new bae now is business, especially in the IT Sector. But no one can refuse you visa if your intention is greener pasture clearly stated in your application. We done run am for three people now. They know you are highly skilled, and a company is sending you down here. The company covers the insurance for you. If you do anyhow, the company simply writes them to revoke your visa. So using it as a cover to do yahoo yahoo wont work. You can easily get a 1-3yr Schengen work visa using our service, but you must be highly skilled IT person and have at least funds to cover your living expenses for one month.

Caveat: If you have ever done any illegality that makes your passport flagged, or change any kind of information that may bring queries, keep off!

Yea, you have point. I don't really blame them for stereotyping coloured people in a bad way.
Immigrants on their own part aren't helping matters.

Most racist attitudes usually comes fellow coloured people in foreign countries. You will see dark skin people from Asia and even fellow Sudanese being racist to blacks. Not mentioning fellow countrymen acting funny towards their own brother.

Some are even doing drugs..... i met a Somalian yesterday smoking on one of the main streets tourists pass through, because i was searching for a bakery to buy fresh bread, not supermarket bread, the moment he saw me, chairman rush cross road and was asking for 50SEK to buy food. And i asked him why smoking in full view of the whites, as this will reduce his value......he was just smiling and giving incoherent excuses....

These are the first Africans they gave papers for free.... Seeing that they only hope for that free monthly stipends from counties, they just leave them to their fate. I am not the picture type, I just give the idiot 20SEK telling to stop smoking or he will die from smoking. Well, with his paper, he gets free health care, So he can smoke himself!

That's terrible, those are the kind of people that gives blacks a bad name. Normally, those whites are cautious when dealing with forigeners and those kind of people just make the situation worst.
I can't imagine how able bodied men will be avoiding jobs. In most European countries, they don't look down on one's profession as it is being down in Nigeria. A cleaner can take care of himself and family.
Those guys were really lucky to get papers easily.

pansophist:


Nigerians just do not want to learn another language. Too stuck in their old ways. There is no Western English country that I like. Australia and New Zealand are too far, Ireland and the UK is an islands, and you can only enter by flying, instead of driving.

Malta is also an Island, while the US and Canada are so huge, that living there feels like living in a forest. I don't like their governmental system as well. As far as the West is concerned, I prefer the non-English speaking ones.

If you live in Germany for example, you share a border with about nine different countries, making holidays easy. You can just wake up at 2am and drive to Switzerland. Isn't that beautiful?

Hi again,

You mean the Spanish speaking ones?

CalmTravels:
This is what you have to deal with...
A call plan of 95SEK (roughly $10) for unlimited phone calls per month. I use Comviq.
A transport bill of 360SEK per month for unlimited use of the Metro train/bus (T-Centralaen).
A one br apartment cost 4000-8000 SEK per month. Inclusive of utilities. To get the equivalent in dollars always divide by 10.
Food depends on your preference. Roughly 1000SEK will do.

Then you enjoy the serenity of Scandinavia.

Nice analysis.

What about tax? You pay tax on top your business profit, right?

CalmTravels:
Unlike most other EU countries 98% Swedes speak English as a second language

Yeah, I remember the Swede musical group, ABBA.

Their song, Dancing Queen still plays in my head.

Developers never get their time. Watch out

Things I found out in Sweden.

• I paid commission to exchange my US dollars to Swedish krone! Foreign currency is actually not craved for here like we do in Africa

• Everyone is helpful, nice & kind. Can give up their food for you. Their social welfare system is the best in the world.

• It's a totally cashless economy here. Yes, you actually dont need a paper money. Everything is digitalized including buying anything!

• Everyone works. The bills are crazy so any krones is needed. The Swedes are naturally, big, brawny, smart and strong. So working hard is never a problem.

* Work resumes by 10 am here due to weather changes. I mean formal jobs, not non skilled jobs.

• During summer, the sun doesn't go down. Meaning, there's no night. You can get sick due to body adopting these time changes. My first night i Stockholm, i slept around 1am without knowing its that late.

• Its really stable here. Count your self lucky like me if you have access to Sweden, it takes a lot to get their papers! Their paper can straighten out some shits in your life. I am a testimony.

• Stockholm is an idea City to raise up a child as everything is cool, lovely and good! World class primary & secondary schooling FREE.

• Crime rate is really low. Yahoo, fraud or other social vices can not work here. You will be caught easily as there are traits to everything you do

• Swedes are normally thieves, they are the original Vikings or sea faring thieves of past, so to curb that natural trait to steal, the government has done a lot to ensure everything can be tranced, this gave rise to a cashless, contactless economy that has proved to very efficient! In order words, it has made the Swedes to be law abiding because off what use is it to steal when you know you will be caught? Well, their prison is better than most average homes in Africa!

• Transportation is relatively fixed. For 3.9$ (39SEK) you can get a ride on the bullet train to anywhere in Stockholm for 75minutes. No other fee applies.

• Beside Rent, food, anyone can survive in Stockholm without much of a deal! With a Salary of $3000 per month, you'd live like a king! Especially if you work remotely!

• You don't really need public transport/a car to move around city, except you are hopping from one island to another. A scooter or bicycle would be more helpful!

• Swedes are Innovative, they have customized bicycles to various roles in the house, or work.

• I prefer living in Stockholm than anywhere in USA or Canada.

• The gap between rich and poor is low compared to France or UK. Here the richest man might be that fellow riding an electric scooter, or drinking low beer with you in the pub.

• Most houses in Stockholm do not have physical keys... They use codes type into the door to open. So if you have no business there, you gat no reason

• Almost everyone drives a bicycle, or scooter to move from one place to another.

• Sweden is really expensive to live in, but has one of the highest quality of life you can imagine.

• Everyone drink tap water. It's squeaky clean & safe. pH value is almost 7.0 on the dot!

• I met several Nigerians, most of them left Italy to reside here. They're always preferred before other African nationalities.

• Nigerians here, as in Kigali keep the law.

$3000 a month will make u live like a king anywhere in d world not just in Sweden. That's about 2.3m in Nigeria. That can make a huge difference in anyone's life. The question is how accessible are such income opportunities?

The most enjoyable way to explore Stockholm is on foot. The oldest part of the city, Gamla Stan, is extremely compact, and lots of Stockholm’s main sights are within a half-hour walk of that neighbour hood. To enjoy this walk around, just go to any Train Center, ask the booking officer to help you with a Map, off you go! Incredible sights awaits you!

Please whats the best way to move over to sweden with my family

Hi CalmTravels. I love your narration about Sweden and I am already ogling to move over there .

Please I will like to know if they have Permanent Residence scheme like Canada.
How easy is it to get their visa, and what's the relative Job opportunities they have? Like, I will like to know how easy to get a job when one arrives.
And lastly, how much altogether is required to relocate from Nigeria to Sweden as a single lady?

Thank you.

If course, and not just Sweden, all Nordic countries are much better than the US in that regard, infact you can as well add the Germanic countries as well.

The downside is that you can't get really rich due to social and cultural factors.

US, UK is for the ambitious while those countries are for those who desire a quiet and high quality of life.
