about how many years thy hv short courses for one year, 6 months etc, then engineering 4 years just the same thing like nigeria, about their fees i guess their are schools that pay more fee than others in nigeria too, and someone who graduated from University of pretoria are respected and given job more than UNISA cos it's believed they are more serious than UNISA, another reason why the money is much is because of exchange rate that N720,000 is R45,000 here.

What does it take to get admission into these universities. Also r u saying somebody starting a business there wit say N2million will make it there dan here.

u 'll make more money in south africa than malaysia in malaysia when they see u they know u are from africa u 'll be descriminated, then another country i 've been to is Ghana, it's better u stay in nigeria than going to ghana.

but then again, as soon as you open your mouth, dont they know you are Nigerians.....and are Nigerians not "viewed" as the criminals/drug dealers who are supposedly destroying SA? (its always easier to blame their shiiit on others)

ok no such, if you are working hard you will be loved it's not like that here i swear those things happens in their villages not in town thtz why it's not adviceable to stay in their village, the reason some people move to that side is because of cheap rent they end up killing and attacking them.

i dont get your point man.

you said that in Malaysia, they will be discriminated upon because you are African, but over there in SA many are also discriminated upon because they are Nigerians, dont they?! that 9ja accent will blow your cover and they blame all their drug problem on Nigerians. are the Nigerians not viewed as the criminals/drug dealers of SA?

my man i hope u believ me now, from my experience i swear no matter what has happened this people are not treating us bad if u see what our people are doing here u will feel sorry for south african. one example among many south african like dressing half naked when they pass where alot of nigerian are nigerians will be shouting making them feel shy also we are so desperate for women and money here which is not good i guess because of pressure from home.

why
because had you taken your time with the business you sold you would be living better in Nigeria than what's happening today for you in SA because you lost years of development in struggling. You're now on your feet and we're all proud of you but add those years to your business in Ng. and you'll be a lot further. Nothing worst than unfinished product. It's good that you're not going through generator stress and the chaos that is Nigeria. i don't fault you for leaving but we need strong ambitious men like yourself here as opposed to selling your properties in Nigeria and starting from the bottom elsewhere. It's of course your life and you're the master of your destiny, but 90% of the Nigerians in SA need to stop wasting their time and come home. Someone will be in SA clipping people's nails for 15 years. Are there no nails in Nigeria?

For 83 k from 36k in Naija, you haven't made any progress. In Nigeria, you would have so many opportunities to grow, not to talk about being close to family and friends. In SA, their people will make sure you don't progress, and if you stubbornly attempt to grow, they will organize themselves into xenophobia mobs to tear you down.

The only justifiable reason to leave ones country is WAR. Naija government should make Nigeria attractive to our youths. So that they stop wasting their lives and talents in elusive foreign lands.
