@naijavietnamese....

I believe you created this thread for a reason...

Do not allow yourself to be intimidated as long as your intentions are genuine.

Keep posting your experiences, steps those interested can take, major pitfalls on pre-arrival, arrival and post arrival.


No knowledge is a waste.


Just like you said,, you want to represent well in Vietnam to change the narrative they have about us as Nigerians. Keep it up. All the best

NaijaVietnamese:
I couldn’t continue reading that trash you wrote after a few paragraphs because what’s the point enlightening someone like you, who is rigidly dumb.

That you faced racism and discrimination doesn’t mean every other person must experience it.

You probably have an unlikable personality

and I can feel your inferiority complex from your posts

You sound like someone who go about with a defeatist mindset that the world is against him.

You don’t need to have the IQ of Einstein to know when you’re being discriminated upon or when you’re valued.

Nigerians also discriminate against each other based on tribalism yet it’s not every Nigerian that has experienced it.

I honestly hope you don’t raise children with this warped thought process you have because it will be a pity.

My father is a scammer.

NaijaVietnamese:
Pained agents are so bitter that this thread is exposing their scams. Wicked souls deceiving Nigerians since 20BC.

I’m showing Nigerians how they can begin a teaching career and succeed, without spending fortunes unlike agents that deceive them to pay 2.5 million for ordinary visa that is just less than $100.

You this boy, I understand it is your choice to go anywhere you want and that choice may also have been forced on you because of your limited resources. BUT IT IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO TRY TO LURE YOUR COUNTRY PEOPLE INTO VIETNAM. Please close this thread now because there is no reason tenable why you will be encouraging Nigerians to come to Vietnam.

Misery loves company indeed. Anyone considering Vietnam should take time to read this Vietnamese paper first, goodluck.

If this guy was sincere, he would not be pushing so hard. People who actually do this are pretty honest about what it is and isn't. They don't act like they hit the lotto, and they'll tell you about horror stories.

The most basic reality of this is that even if you manage to go, be allowed to enter the country, secure employment, and secure your visa; it's simply not a reliable source of income, and you could be getting paid crumbs. There's a bunch of other things you can do that are more solid, and that lead somewhere.

Unless you're going to Vietnam to deal with suppliers for your business, there's nothing you want to do there. And even that is sketchy because people will easily get scammed.

An estimated 18,000 people are smuggled from Vietnam to Europe each year.

Back in October, 39 Vietnamese migrants were found ---- in the refrigerated container of a tractor-trailer at an industrial park about 20 miles east of London. The container had been shipped from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge to Essex, England. The victims inside ranged in age from 15 to 44, and each appeared to have a bag with clothes, a mobile phone and other belongings, according to Essex police.

Vietnam is continually featured in the top three nationalities of potential trafficking victims referred to the U.K. National Referral Mechanism, a government framework "for identifying and referring potential victims of modern slavery", as the number of Vietnamese victims has consistently increased over the past few years.

Just 263 Vietnamese crossed into the United States via its border with Mexico between October 2021 and October 2022, but nearly 3,300 made that crossing a year later, according to figures from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP. That number is certain to be surpassed in 2024. From last October to this March, nearly 2,400 have already crossed.

The surge in migration to the U.S. has found parallels elsewhere. In April, the UK’s Home Office announced a partnership with Vietnam to tackle illegal migration routes amid skyrocketing numbers of risky small boat crossings over the English Channel. In 2022, 1% of those arriving on small boat arrivals came from Vietnam, rising to 5% in 2023. So far this year, more Vietnamese have crossed by boat than any other nationality.

But those figures still pale in comparison to the numbers arriving in the U.S.

Back home in Nghe An, Minh, Truc and Ngu struggled to make ends meet — and saw little possibility for improvement. They spoke of being stuck in menial, poorly paid jobs and of corrupt officials who demand bribes from anyone trying to strike out on their own.

“I was not happy with the way the government treated us in Vietnam. My work was suppressed and could not develop,” said Minh, who had been a small business owner in Nghe An. “I could be OK if I chose to do manual jobs like construction work. But if I had a restaurant they [authorities] would just come to ask for money, and suppress us.”

The 6,000-mile journey: How scores of Vietnamese migrants are smuggled or trafficked into the UK each year

NaijaVietnamese:
The difference between smart people and dull ones is that the former see opportunities where the latter see problems.

Yes, human trafficking is still occurs in many countries across South East Asia. There are cartels that use them for prostitution in the West because they’re highly sought after there. Others willingly migrate because their currency has low value when compared with Dollars or pounds. Big advantage for business minded people! It keeps their exports cheap and makes them attractive!

However, let’s use Nigeria as an example. We are globally known as the world’s poverty capital. Millions are starving and millions of others are seeking for any means to travel abroad, including going through perilous deserts and oceans on small boats! Yet in same Nigeria, foreigners are also arriving to work in the oil companies as expatriates. Why didn’t those people use the excuse that “Nigerians themselves are running away from their country due to poverty” to shun the idea of going there?

What oil company jobs in Nigeria is to expatriates is what ESL jobs in Vietnam is to expatriates.

Be wise!!!

Ronaldoguy:
If you notice I am one of the people that first called you a scammer when you started this thread, the way you are being emotional and defending the defenseless is suspicious. Your deceit can be seen miles away from the title of your thread, why say Vietnam a 3rd world country is better than Canada or UK for Nigerians. Whether legal or illegal Nigerian immigrants, both will be better off in UK or Canada over say Vietnam, so close your thread. The link I posted earlier (written by a vietnamese journalist in 2023) says annual salary for middle class in Vietnam is between 7000 USD and 8000 USD. Middle class includes professors, doctors, nurses, bankers etc. You as an english teacher does not earn that clearly, how much can you send home from your miserly income? We dont need more Nigerians being stranded or jailed or organ harvested in south east asia.

Ronaldoguy:
I prefer Nigerians with little resources for travel to go to a relatively peaceful and politically stable african countries for hustle than to go to South east Asian countries. SE Asian countries (with exception of singapore) are the most racist and with least human rights records in the entire world, they are just closely followed by middle eastern countries. So, it is in your best interest to get out of that eldorado asap. I even came across your comment praising Vietnam over Mexico, lol. You are comparing a 3rd world country to a 2nd world country, you are clearly an agent. Enjoy your vietnam but leave Nigerians out of it, close this thread.

Op
Good job I stumbled on your thread yesterday and was impressed. I remember I wanted to consider Vietnam soke years ago but got discouraged due to some things.

I will advise you to ignore everyone calling you a scam. It's normal to have babies and immature one roaming around nairaland looking to make trouble. It could be very irritating and trying to reply every of them is a waste of energy. The energy they give is enough to discourage one. The wise ones will key into it and make something meaningful of their life.

Everything you said about Vietnam is true. I remember the thread of whyna in those days. I am not sure if she's still in Vietnam though. Any old nairalander frequent on the travel section will remember whyna. She helped many people to Vietnam too and we even made contact with her. All these troublemakers will not know hee
Anyway make your money man
Represent our country well and...
Think if a better country to go after you have made enough money over there.
God's speed brother.

harmony940:
Please kindly ignore and furnish us interested in teaching I have a degree in English Language what do I need to do to qualify?

Thanks for your lovely input.

NaijaVietnamese:
Please go through the thread, particularly from page one. I listed all the requirements accordingly.

Anyone with a degree and who can score above band 7 in IELTs can succeed as a teacher in Vietnam.

Unfortunately, majority of Nigerians coming to the country are doing things the wrong way and that’s why most of them aren’t making any headway.

harmony940:
Thanks for the update,please is it IELTS academic or general?

NaijaVietnamese:
God bless you for this input. Anyways, the agents here trying to disguise here will only end up embarrassing themselves.

What you said are 100% facts. However, unfortunately, some African teachers don’t do the right thing by engaging reputable TESOL institutes before coming, instead they use agents and try to hustle through. The institute I used for my TESOL also promised to provide job at the end of my training and they’re already on it. I will be traveling to Hanoi on Sunday to validate my papers because a language school there said I have to provide it so they can commence my WP processing.

It’s foolish to pay agent 2.5 million when that same amount can afford a one month training inclusive of accommodation and job placement.

Na we Dey do ourselves sha.
