I've been to a lot of countries, and I must say that the cost of living in Switzerland is really high. The average price of a bottle of water here is $5. When I arrived last week, I spent 55 dollars on a pack of bottled water, which didn't even last for a week. I've been here for 9 days now, and I must say that my bank account is really feeling the heat. Everything here is damn expensive. Switzerland is for the rich abeg. Nothing anybody wan tell me. Today, when I went shopping for groceries, I thought I was going to spend not more than 80 dollars, but to my utmost surprise, I ended up spending over 200 dollars on little items. When I was in Norway, Australia and Netherlands, I thought that the cost of living was high (these countries are quite expensive to live in), but this is just on another level. I'm leaving here on Saturday abeg, before my account starts wailing.

Guys, let me use this medium to drop a piece of advice. If anyone is advising you to leave Nigeria, show gratitude to that person, because he/she wants the best for you. I've been touring for 6 months now, and I must confess that Nigeria is a sh*thole. This is actually an understatement. If there was a worse word to use to attribute Nigeria, I'd have used it. Once I'm done with my travels, I'm permanently relocating to a European country. I'm just using this medium to gather my facts first, before making a final decision.

I'm an American citizen by birth, but I've not lived there for 2 straight years; I've been on and off. America is kinda cool, but I've no interest in living there permanently. UK and Canada are for introverted people, in my own opinion. Right now, I'm thinking of maybe Sweden or Germany for permanent relocation. I was forced to learn Deutsch, because I studied in Germany from 2016-2022; before relocating back to Nigeria, to handle my Dad's businesses. I learn languages fast, but it took me 6 months to almost perfectly learn Deutsch language. I now speak English, French, Spanish, Deutsch, Latin, and a little bit of Hebrew. I'll be posting more with time. Merry Christmas in advance guys.

Oga that na for your pocket.


All this charlatans in abroad always come online to talk rubbish, since life is fair to you enjoy it without forcing it on us.


The best Way is for all Nigerians to look for a way to make this country better, if all Nigerians follows this your mindset it means over 200M million Nigerians will have to leave this space and move to abroad. That can never happen because over 80 percent can't even afford to buy air ticket to Ghana.

Since life has been fair to you, all you've to do now is to pray for Nigeria.


Don't come online and tell us that we're stupid to still be in Nigeria.

I understand your annoyance with how OP crafted his post. However, the reality is that someone with an open mind who leaves Nigeria to live for a short period of time in developed countries or places where the system works would be angry with the state of Nigeria. Nevertheless, that is not necessarily a place to "curse" Nigeria, but ponder why our case is different. I say this because as much as Switzerland is highly developed, black people don't have an equivalent. Chinese do, so do the Japanese and Koreans. Even Arabs now do in the place of Dubai.

That should be the focal point: how come others have a functioning enclave of theirs, but we don't?

P.S. Enclave should have at least 5 million residents before someone mentions Botswana and Barbados to me. 🙄

Outing with my gees yesterday. The weather no be here at all.

The pay in Switzerland is challenged only by what you can earn in the US. Na you carry your EU savings enter there . Fresh graduates in Switzerland can sweep up a CHF 100k/yr salary which is equivalent to $111k. You need 10 years of experience to stand a chance (not getting it) in Netherlands or Norway. They also have lower taxes than the other low paying EU countries in context.

The swiss built that country differently, and it's why getting citizenship there is a nightmare of waiting

Suicideboy:
its too expensive even the country side is too expensive


poor people can't survive there


it's damn too quiet and boring


nothing's going in that country


many tech bros would rather go to Thailand than there



The nightlife is really bad. Restaurants close early. Nothing is open on Sundays. The food is really mediocre, especially compared to France. The people are really stuffy.

Switzerland is the closest thing to heaven on earth we have on planet earth. The only other country aside the USA and Chile I would consider living in.

No fresh graduate will get 100k a year. Stop misleading people

I’m not the OP but lemme burst your bubble,Nigeria as we know it will never get better but worse, so long as you continue voting in wrong people, and you dont have to hate anyone that travelled abroad and spoke against Nigeria, for me thats the first observation you make when you travel,you’ll notice how your Nigerian govt subjugated you!
So dont hope in that country,instead of hating try leaving!
The only part i dont believe in op is saying canada is for introverted people, abeg op have you been there ,na big lie, canada and usa is almost same thing same setting etc

Sp1ritHusband:
I hate snow like shit and Swizz is a super boring country.

blamingthedevil:
Nairaland and its owner, Seun, have consistently allowed individuals to describe this country with derogatory names without facing any repercussions. Moderators even promote such threads to the front page. If Nairaland fails to address this issue, it is time for the Nigerian government to step in, and everyone involved will have to face the consequences.

redcliff:
Switzerland is boring wetin you think say you get for nigeria wey switzerland no get exavtly. Abeg gtfoh....boring like say e get something specifically wey u dey do for nigeria wey dey make am extraordinary for you.

deji17:
Another ungrateful fellow. It appears the money he is spending in Gallivanting all over the globe was made in Nigeria but he still manages to call Nigeria shithole. The problem with Nigeria is that some people living in the country are ungrateful, self centered and selfish people.

AmiableMosquito:
You ruined your beautiful write-up with your distasteful description of Nigeria. Please do better next time. Your father's businesses that thrived in the same Nigeria is the reason you can afford the globetrotting you are currently enjoying.

I love to learn new languages but find myself struggling at it. Please what techniques of faster learning can you suggest when learning new languages?

You only made such conclusions cos you have not reside in those countries. I grow up in Bariga and I used to live in Chicago for a while. Exclude downtown Chicago and Northside area, Bariga/Akoko will rival Chicago for real. Most inner cities of Amaerica are in deplorable state but the media will never show that.
