The motherf*ckers from the East and Core North disrupted everything. The Western Region would have been the greatest and most civilized in Africa and on par with Europe.

F*cked up easterners and northerners.

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.

This is what I have always tell people, that it is better to face racism abroad than tribalism in our own country. I also wish we were still under British control because I'm sure our lives would be better than this.

If i had known I would continue with my Norwegian grandpa I met online some years back, I for use am japa, I got tired of him showing me his dick so I stopped communicating with him, been a lady in Nigeria is not easy at all. I met a black American online but he's always carrying gun. I m scared of gun so I left, I met a white American but he's too young,
I will try my best to live this country, I don't want my children to be born here, a country where there's no justice and where people see white and call it black is not worth raising children


You're not patriotic.

Presently, if you're a green pasture seeker from Nigeria, and Africa in general, avoid Sweden as much as you can if you aren't a top-notch professional in the IT and medical fields, and better if you're relatively independent in these fields also. Instead, try Norway.

Don't allow beautiful photos and posturing of anyone to lead you to your doom.

Anytime I read the bold from Africans, esp Nigerians, I shake my head. People who trade in tribalism used it to flog other people who went to vote, exterminate communities because the indigenes are of a different ethnic group, and many more are suddenly worried about racism. Racism is way worse than tribalism because you both are of the same race aka share the same skin colour. The annoying thing about the tribalism is the privation bedevilling both people. People wey poverty don nack their head pass talking drum dey carry tribalism for head like gala. A South Korean and Japanese might have issues because of their histories, but both persons are citizens of rich countries. Somewhere in Africa, two people go get problem even if their ethnic groups never had one historically, but these people are both poor. Most of them inhale generator fumes for a living. Others don turn camel because of fuel at N700. Tomorrow, they want to japa and are bothered about racism.

Nansense!

As always, better to reside with racists in a prosperous land than live with tribalists in the world's poverty capital. If you must discriminate against others, ensure you're prosperous at global levels.
These are unwarranted,the guy asked a simple question. You don't know him before but you've already judged him as a tribalist. What sort of human are you.
Most of you comment with already programmed mind to act a certain way to certain people. What makes it stupid is this forum is faceless,so you just read comment and assume that a person deserves your preprogrammed hatred.

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!

Malmo is better in my opinion.

Just 30 mins away from Copenhagen, and it's warmer than Stockholm. Life in Malmo is also fabulous. it is lively and awesome.

And yes I agree with you. Sweden can straighten all the shit away from your life. If you have a legal residence there, then materially, you are set for life.

The things most people worry about have been taken care of. You will be paid to study, so you don't disturb yourself with hustle. Your rent paid for, with free healthcare, doesn't matter if your sickness needs 1M USD per month for medicine.

Safe, civilized, and beautiful., and exceptionally clean.
