Driving home

tensazangetsu20:
I came out today to enjoy myself small. Make e no just be work and work. Came to a place like 2 hours from my house. It’s called salsa de laj

Lovely nature

I sometimes wonder if I am the only one who migrated out of Nigeria and doesn’t miss Nigeria one bit. I don’t even want to visit Nigeria. I know some Nigerians in chile and they keep on reminiscing about Nigeria. When I think about Nigeria all that comes to my mind is Bleep Nigeria

Finally, someone who doesn't miss Nigeria.
Kudos to you!

And it fuels one's drive to make more money so as to improve the current model. No be every financial narrative inside book people suppose adhere to.

The bolded is spot on!

For me, it's the same for advice as well. I don't take advise from anyone. I follow my mind as I've discovered most give advice based on their experiences, beliefs and mindset, which in most cases are opposite to my thinking and aspirations.

Chilean winter approaches.

The polar climates of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are opposite.

Summer in North America and Europe. Winter in South America, South Africa and Australia

And vice versa.

Not many people know this.

GOD Is great!

You're so right😅😅

My mind is so wired to thinking 'east and west', I usually forget about 'north and south'...was asking a friend (who's in Russia) when summer is starting, he had to remind me we're in the same hemisphere🙈

After almost 2 years in chile, I finally visited Santiago. Men I am just staring at everywhere like one village boy. Na village I Dey all this while. Santiago is so big. So modern. So rich.

Men if I did my driving license test here I am sure it would have taken me up to 5 tries to have passed. Driving here is so complicated. The lanes are so many. In Concepción, it’s just two lane roads. Here is completely different

The Santiago skyline from my apartment and down in the distance are the Los Andes mountains

Santiago is so rich men. Omho if it was here I landed instead of concepción, maybe na Benz for be my first car 😂😂. All the big tech companies have their South American headquarters here. I never even go las condes. I am in providencia. Even the buses here are much modern

Chilean elites have tried. A group of men sat down and decided this is how we want our country to be and they built it. To think that chile went through very brutal military dictatorship and economic turmoil in the 70s. The black man has failed. Spits on the negro race.

Came to the theater in Santiago. A friend got me the tickets.

Nice... Congratulations to you. More win.

Drop your mail. I have interest in Chile. Let us discuss in details

This is lovely. There's no difference between this place and Europe. Clean streets and all. This is nice.

lol You must be joking. You could never compare almost any part of Europe to anywhere in South America.

Uncle, easy with the black man talk.
Black man will always do his thing.

The brutal military dictatorship was during the time of Pinochet. That man was the Idi Amin of Chile.

This is good honestly... so many people do not know this

Finally got back to my city and honestly, I have to ask what exactly are we doing in Nigeria? I’ve been to villages in Chile and even the most rural areas have clean water, good roads, steady electricity everything. The same basic infrastructure you find in the big cities is available in the villages too. And Chile isn’t some ultra-rich nation; it’s still classified as a middle-income developing country. Yet, if the community of developing nations were asked to stand up, both Chile and Nigeria would rise. But the difference between them couldn’t be more glaring.

This week, I’m presenting my master’s thesis and with that, I’m officially done with my degree. I’ll be graduating with distinction. But to be honest, I’m still trying to figure out what comes next.

When I first came to Chile, I never planned to stay. My intention was to use it as a stepping stone maybe apply for Canada’s Express Entry, petition for a U.S. green card, or move to Europe. But somewhere along the way, Chile surprised me and in so many ways, it shaped me.

Chile made me a man.

If someone had told me back when I was still in Nigeria, uncertain and struggling that by 2025 I’d be driving a 2025 model car, I would’ve laughed in disbelief. If someone had told me that I’d be standing on my own two feet, providing for myself, supporting my mother and sisters I would have said it was impossible.

But Chile made it possible.

I’m deeply grateful to this country. Grateful for the community I’ve found, the friends I’ve made, and the love I’ve received. My girlfriend, my circle, the people who have become like family even though I’m thousands of miles from home, I’ve never truly felt alone.

Here in my little town in Chile, I’ve met people from all over the world. People I can genuinely call friends. People who have helped shape this chapter of my life into something I will always carry with pride.

No matter where life takes me next. Chile will always be a part of me.

.

incidentally also happens in the work place / career and it is why they say comfort is dangerous

you have big plans and then you get a good job , some perks, some promotions and those plans get forgotten

then again - from what i can see today - the west don cast as far as economic migration is concerned

cheers man and all the best

No idea. Only God knows.

Hello everyone, I’m new to the platform and I would love to visit Chile. Can anyone help me with the correct link to start the application? Also any tips to help make the process easier for me?

I came across a post on Twitter that really made me pause: “Someone who was 25 in the year 2000 is turning 50 this year.”
It hit me, how fast time moves. The year 2000 doesn’t feel that far away; I still remember moments from my childhood like they were yesterday. But the truth is, time isn’t just moving. it’s flying.

It’s strange. On one hand, it feels like we have so much time ahead of us, like there’s always a “later.” But in reality, we have no time at all. Life is happening constantly, with or without us. People are getting married, starting families, switching careers, chasing dreams. The world doesn’t slow down.

Almost two years have passed since I left Nigeria. Two whole years. And yet, it feels like I just packed my bags last week. Sometimes I sit quietly and try to trace where all that time went and I can’t. It’s like life just keeps unfolding while we blink.

Time really is an illusion. And maybe the only thing that’s real is what we choose to do with the little of it we’re given.

Food for thought.
