Namibia , specks English, high quality of life, agriculture or commerce is ok, have whites and blacks, so easy to assimilate into the culture. 1000 Namibia dollars is equal to 86k in naira. 3rd safest country in Africa. Reach there, find one oyibo white girl marry and enjoy your life, visit Nigeria once in a while and run back
The oyibos in Southern Africa aren't interested in marrying Black people. Dem never finish marry Southern Black Africans who are culturally similar, na West Africans dem go marry?

The only viable agricultural industry in Namibia is cattle rearing. The country is too arid to grow cash crops, and any other agricultural venture gets intense competition from South Africa. Namibia is just a peaceful Yobe that has now discovered oil. So, if you have experience and skills in the oil and gas industry, it is going to be a good place as the Black version of Kuwait.

Let me tell you something ,come to the Gambia ,find a problem offer a solution. You won’t become a wealthy overnight sensation but you will be very comfortable. I have lived in the Gambia for about three years now , I am into second hand electronic gadget , I started with one car wash location, business got better and I opened three new locations on the high way. Got 12 plots of land big lands that are measured the way they use to measure one plot of land in Lagos back in the 70s (each plot was measured like that ). 5 minutes drive to an estate.. I have started building already .i intend to start a low budget ranch type of thing . Full scale animal husbandry. Goats sheep’s pigs ducks chicken probably even cows .
I sleep with two eyes closed no banditry.
I make enough to help my people back home.
I won’t have achieved nothing if I was still in Nigeria .
Nigeria made me too comfortable with mediocrity , your comfort zone is where your dream dies .
For those of you that keep looking down on other smaller African countries , you should leave Nigeria and visit your neighbor benin republic tears will gush out of your eyes when you see how well organized and clean almost everywhere is . Your country gives them electricity, but they have much more stable electricity than the full Nigeria .
The Gambia offers you security,
Ease of doing business
Low tax
Stable electricity
Stable democracy
Loyal women that are way way less materialistic.
Cheap feeding , accommodation is kinda costly
I applaud these small countries for their peaceful nature and safe environments. But they are way too small in the grand scheme of things when compared with most states in Nigeria. The Gambia, for instance, could be just a small Taraba or Plateau. However, and unfortunately, religious bigotry and incompetent elites have ruined what could have been a thriving but peaceful state.

There are many many Nigerians making it big time in African countries who don't announce it on social media sir.

I used to know a Nigerian making about 20k USD profit every month in his business in a country in West Africa before fear made him to shut down the business after he faced some threats from indigenous rivals.

Do you know that there are Nigerians with companies making millions around African countries?
Which country is that?

oga forget those people. There are just showing you the outside clothes but deep down, they are facing seriously policy issues!

I know many have closed down and coming back to Nigeria to re establish.
Why did they close down and move to Nigeria to reestablish their businesses? Also, what kind of businesses did they establish in those countries and what are these countries?

Apologies for the many questions
Re: As An African Looking To Relocate Within Africa, Which Country Offers The Best? by Gerrard59(m): 3:03am On Dec 15, 2025
Just to put it here: if you want to run a thriving business in an African country, target the export market. Moving to Namibia to sell to Nambians does not make sense to me. Someone living in Yola but sells to Lagosians will make more money than the person who lives in Namibia trying to sell to Namibians. The alternative is moving to Namibia as a remote worker, or you want somewhere safe where the majority look like you to reside, but have your investments elsewhere. Don't move to Ndi Namibia or Seychelles because you want to make money o.

Two, before moving to an African country, ensure you have sufficient funds to establish yourself, as most of these countries lack adequate job opportunities, even for their own citizens, let alone other Africans.

Lastly, please behave yourself to avoid unnecessary animosity because a significant proportion of Nigerians are noise makers and troublesome in nature.

As an African looking to relocate within Africa…
Which country do you believe offers the best mix of stability, security, ease of doing business, and a beautiful life?

Rwanda and Mauritius are currently at the top of my list…
But I want to hear from people with real experiences.
Where would you choose, and why?

It all depends on your motive. "Hustling " in another African country may not be too easy. For me, my Europe is Ethiopia. I'm enjoying every bit of my stay here and I have met a couple of legit Nigerians that are doing well for themselves. Just make sure you have correct documents. BTW, I am an English Language teacher.
Bro how can I contact you, please?

Jesus, am shocked. Pls tell me is a lie.

My mom said one of her brothers is in gambia doing spare-part business. He is doing very well. So am wondering how you came up with this your narrative.

What about Zambia

I heard the people are nice to Nigerians
they have a good music industry. They have light off issues all over zambia. Despite its resources, it is the poorest country in the south african region. There isn't jobs for people. They love to study nursing or health related courses..
I would not advice anyone to go there..

I mentioned that in my comment.

To me, there is nothing sparse about Namibia's population, considering its size, as it is slightly higher than Bayelsa state.

Namibia is no doubt a peaceful country but it is known for its tourism; Germans visits the country especially. Low population; most of the inhabitants are in northern Namibia, Central and western Namibia, the rest of the country is desert.
The white Namibians you referred to are mostly farmers and not much is expected of them like you put it to be. I am guessing you are referring to white tourist.
Namibia grows little of their food but they rely mostly on south africa grocery supply and in terms of natural food, they get it from angola.
Hustle in namibia, not much is expected. Except you want to go through Angola, bring in goods and sell in Namibia. They have a good health care industry..
In all, I see the country to be a place for retirement.. africa is a Virgin land, you can find a Hustle but they have a low population..

Yes, despite the policy issues many are still doing well in their businesses. Of course, some people shut down their businesses and return to Nigeria just like the person I referred to, many times, they have weighed the options before returning back to Nigeria.

all these japa. The truth is e Don cast. Let us pray ND build Nigeria. Another thing have notice about Japa information they only tell u about hustling never tell u about the laws of that country the behaviour of the pple esp. Nigerians. Nigerians have bad reputation in some of these countries. Plus the issue of envy. Remember japa to another black man country u have to be careful bcoz black country no dey follow laws like oyinbo
No matter how developed Nigeria becomes hopefully, Japa cannot stop my brother. It's in man's DNA to move. Men's destinies are different and some can only truly fulfill their destinies outside their home countries based on God's plans for their lives.

There are more good Nigerians than bad ones in every nation you go to. Envy? Yes of course. We're one people that many others hate to like grin Any society without laws would become chaotic and it's our responsibility to keep the laws of wherever we find ourselves.

These are not enough reasons not to embark on your destiny journey if that's the route for you sir.

Japa to African countries is quite different from that to Europe because you're expected to go into African countries with entrepreneurial skills as getting employment is very scarce except mostly teaching jobs.

my uncle was a spare part dealers in Ghana! His business folded and guess what?
He is back to Nigeria.

Those African countries if you are making it well, just make sure you have a backup plan in Nigeria incase of anything, because those African countries do change policies overnight

If Africa was so good why exactly did U leave?

Can U answer me without sentiments?
Make more money and plan my exit well so I can be able to make more impact in the lives of Africans. I don't plan to move back to Nigeria since it is a mess i have to find the right African country to move to.

Note I didn't say don't come to the west but do your research well, the west wealth and power is coming to an end the present power is the east and the future is Africa

But atleast you will make some good money before moving back. You just didn’t move there if there were no better opportunities!
As I said do your research well before you come, I was lucky to get a scholarship and got a job after my studies here. US is by far the best at least you get to keep most of your income other European countries would collect more than 50% in taxes to support their citizens on welfare and they make their citizenship very hard.

Yes, the fact remains that African societies are very unstable...

Many of those wise ones doing anything tangible definitely have businesses in Nigeria.
