I haven't done extensive traveling in Africa, but I do know getting an identical standard of things cost more in Africa than SE Asia and LatAm.
So a decent $800-$1000/month 1-BR apartment in Bogota, Colombia or Buenos Aires, Argentina might cost $1,500-$2500/month in Abuja or Addis Ababa. Keep in mind, you'll be getting lower value for your money in both Abuja and Addis, because you're in a less developed location.
Power outages, unreliable internet and more things that rarely happen in most of SE Asia and LatAm.

If this is your first time venturing out of Nigeria and you're the type who thrives on familiar environments, then maybe visit Accra, Ghana for a bit. It should be familiar territory. You could switch it up to nearby places like Cotonou, for a different language culture.

Outside West Africa, South Africa is a good option. Sure, people will have their reservations about xenophobia and all in SA, but if you go to cities with fewer Nigerians, you might be better off.

Addis Ababa is also a nice place, if you like Ethiopian women (who wouldn't? ). The city is decent, but as I said before, the airbnb apartment costs are highly inflated. This is a problem in many parts of Africa. Since safety is often a problem in Africa, you don't want to put yourself in unnecessary danger by trying to stay in a bad neighborhood. You don't need to stay at the best, but as you said, a nice middle-class place.

I wouldn't really recommend North Africa, but some people I know, like Morocco.

.

Well said, thanks for taking some time out of the little time you have to answer all my questions.

ramalot:


This will be long.

I saw your question earlier, and see you removed the income figures. Good idea to do so. With that income, you'll be fine as a single guy, in LatAm. In Western Europe, you might struggle, but places like Lisbon can work. I also think you might be underestimating the cost of living a decent life in African countries.

It's often more expensive than Asia or LatAm, to live the same quality of life. Airbnb apartments in Abuja and Addis Ababa are more expensive than those across SE Asia and LatAm, on average. I guess the main problem then becomes getting visas, since I assume you're traveling on a Nigerian passport. To your questions:


1. Honestly, I don't know of any good qualities Nigerians are known for in places I've been. It's all been negative.

The only significant positive of Nigerians in the US is that, Nigerian-Americans are the most educated sub-group of people in the US. So the stock of Nigerians you find in the US are generally more educated than the general American population. I don't know if any other group has recently displaced Nigerians, but it's been this way for many years, in the US. So Nigerians in the US are considered relatively smart.

2. Nigerians are certainly known as fraudsters around the world (rightly so, if we're being honest). In South East Asia, a lot of Nigerians are also into drug dealing, so that becomes a problem for any other black person. Sometimes random people come up to me in Asia and ask if I know where they can get drugs. Simply because they assume most blacks know at least one drug dealer, if they're not a drug dealer themselves

3. If you're single, don't just grab any ol' random girl and start traveling with her. I'd say set out on your own, and see what the world holds for you. If you're an outgoing person with good social skills, you'll have so much fun and the freedom of being single.

4. This is a multi-layered question, and I can write a whole book about it. However, everyone is different. Some people thrive best by operating solo. Some are pack animals. Are you the kind of person who desperately needs to be in a relationship to feel validated? If you are, then seeing couples holding hands and kissing on the beach, while you're sitting alone on the sand might make you feel inadequate.

If you're like me, and these things have nearly zero impact on you, then you'll go out and enjoy the world. You'll meet so many people and develop so many friendships. On the other hand, if you set out from the very start with a partner, this has pros and cons.

For context, I traveled solo for about 2 years, before I met my now fiancee. We've been traveling together, for nearly 4 years.


Pros of traveling solo:

a. I think the biggest pro of being a single (and outgoing) person traveling solo is that you get to meet so much more people.

When you're a couple, you're both wrapped in your own bubble, and operate mostly in isolation of those around you. There will be quick interactions and stuff, but you're generally not going to leave your partner to go hang out with random strangers. When you're single, going to hang out with random strangers who then become acquaintances and friends is the routine.

b. Less expensive: Obviously it costs less to travel solo, vs a partner you're financially responsible for.

In my case, this doesn't apply much, for different reasons. My lady cooks like 90% of our meals, and even before her, I used to cook most of my meals myself. I prefer home-cooked meals to eating out. I always have. So this saves a considerable amount of money.

Also, my lady makes decent money from her business. So even though, as a more traditional man, I prefer to handle most things, she can take care of herself. She's not a liability and doesn't have a liability mindset. This is the kind of girl I don't mind spending on. The only thing I let her pay for are her main flight tickets. I made it that way from the start, because at the beginning, I had to make sure she wasn't just there to freeload on my travel lifestyle and resources.

Cons of traveling solo:

a. Like I said before, quiet and shy people might deal with loneliness and sometimes even depression.

b. If you're a guy, you might find yourself constantly trying to get the next girl on a date, or something. Especially if you're someone who struggles to get girls in general. This leads to frustration, for some.


So, in a nutshell, my advice is to travel for a while by yourself. After some time, consider getting a girl for a long-term thing. I don't know how old you are, but whatever you do, do not go traveling with a liability mindset partner. Ask yourself, if you were broke, would she spend her own money on you, until you got back on your feet? If you can't answer that with a confident yes, then don't travel with a partner like that.

This applies to both men and women. It goes both ways.

Thanks for your insights. I am highly appreciative. With that income I put early, what African countries do you recommend I start with. Please note that I'm not planning to stay in the places where wealthy people stay. I feel my natural habitat is where the middle class stays considering my income and considering the fact that I want to get a real feel of a different African culture

This is Ramalot (the OP)

I will continue answering questions with the ramalot account, when the mods remove the Travel section posting restriction placed by Mod Bot. It happened because a response included a Google Maps link.

Hello

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I'm a freelancer who works remotely here in Nigeria, and I've been flirting with the idea of mimicking what you do, traveling around Africa in my case.

My decision stems from the fact that I love this beautiful continent (our weather and our culture are priceless). But I earn something decent (middle class income based on Nigerian standard ), so I don't I have the wherewithal to spend quality time in Europe or Latin America like you do.

That said.

Now, my question.

1. What good qualities are Nigerians (or blacks) known for in all the countries you visited. Do they consider us smart or dumb

2. Apart from being perceived as fraudsters, what other bad qualities do foreigners perceive Nigerians (blacks) as? Do they see us like lazy people?

3. Tangential to the information about my background, which African countries would you advise me to experiment with considering my income? Please factor the fact that I'm single and I will probably being going alone. Or do you think getting a partner along with make things interesting rather than risking going alone and hopefully finding a partner in my travel destination?

4. To put it simply, did you had more fun in those countries prior to having a girlfriend (or fiancé)? I'm asking you indirectly to state the pros and cons of traveling as (1) a single person while being receptive of finding a partner in the travel destinations or (2) bringing a partner alone here from Nigeria.

Please note.. I intend to be working remotely like you while staying in the travel destination.

Hello, where did you get the European panels? I'm interested in getting.

SeaTrade:
Most of you will think it's money but that's not true.
Money will only attract gold diggers and trenches girls.
I'm 30 years old,technically single,very well to do,well travelled,educated and enlightened in pursuit of happiness.
Now I'm a trader(onye ahia) due to circumstances but I managed to do well at it.
But the challenge now is getting a suitable woman,one who will complement all of my qualities(youthful,smart,fun to be with and growth oriented ) but its turning into a nightmare.
You see to get a homely,middle class girl in this country,you have to roll in their circle because most times,you guys won't cross paths and they like to stick to their circle and you can't even see them.
They hardly go out,move in packs and to single them out and date them na wahala!
They're held up in private universities and will only date from there or in their workplace or work circle.
Now where does that leave you,a street neighbourhood hustler with all your money ?All you will get is a very wide variety of trenches,bleaching,airheaded gold diggers that I don't even go close to or talk to and a host of milfs(30+ with plenty history and baggage) to chose from.
Now the old ones might have money,education,eloquence,maybe class but youthfulness is gone!! No matter how you try to trivialise it,you'll always see the difference. You get to start tolerating rather than enjoying an innocent,youth filled relationship. Their money is now useless to you and no longer an attraction since you have yours and can afford their lifestyle without flinching,so you now start looking for extras that they can't give.
One party is over experienced and the other party is just getting used.I've done it and I don't want anymore of it.
milf na milf abeg.Nothing exciting about them.
You see guys that you're way better than catching all the softies and all that keeps coming your way is bones and I hate it.
I won't give up on my quest,I think I need to leave the shores of this country and go get what I want and convince them to come back home to be with me.
Nigeria is limiting when it comes to relationships .
Many of you that keep shouting money up and down,I look at you and just laugh,you are just ignorant,unless you don't have taste for quality,great women and just want to attract smellos to come spend your change with you.Asides that,your options will be really limited in the dating market.
Younglings,my advise to you is finish school,build a network with great people and everything will fall in place.
Don't rush life,everything will come in its time.
The last place you want to be in is rich without a solid network,its better not to have that money at all.
Because the success will take you away from your real friends who are still down the food chain because thought processes will now change and reality gets different(this isn't classism but pure fact) and then you cant mingle at the top as well cos you don't belong there.
You're now stuck in the middle and alone,that's the real definition of hell.
You will beg for trenches but then lifestyle has changed and you can no longer adapt.
It takes wisdom to escape this.Hell!
Be careful young ones.

I've read all the comments on this issue.

Many guys who know their value and worth want these types of women.

I'm glad you guys know your worth

And that's why I've taken the time out of no time to post this (it's more than 2 years since I posted).

So back to the topic

Three years ago, my friends and I were in the same conundrum.

All of them are freelancers. Some are graphic designers, while others are developers, programmers, writers, etc.

The common denominator among all of us is that we are above 30 and earning six figures (more than $3000) monthly.

But the main challenge was finding these types of women you described.

My friends leveraged dating apps and social media, yet their effort was futile.

These girls are not attracted to your money (Of course, they want their boyfriends/spouse to have deep pockets).

They are attracted to guys that are tall, popular, looking good with great physique, smelling nice, working in great companies, highly linked to wealthy/rich families etc.

In sum, they want to date a guy that they will use to shame their girlfriends. Lol.

Some of my friends ticked these boxes, but you will be surprised that these girls are not ready to give them a chance because they are freelancers and not doctors, bankers, or individuals working in CBN or multinational companies.

So, what did they do to get what they want?

Seatrade, this is the solution you need.

They proceeded to private universities for their master's degree.

This might sound crazy. But this is the price to pay for you want. But it is still cheaper compared to travelling abroad or changing your areas

Funny enough, all of them don't need the degree.

But they did it. This strategy gave them accessibility and opportunities to meet many of these young, clean women from good homes.

However, some of my friends did not find success with this strategy after wasting about 1.5 million and 1.5 years in the university studying a course they don't need

What did they do wrong?

1. Looking for girls that they like
2. Not participating in social events
3. Putting their eggs in one basket. Some focused on one girl, and they got their heartbroken
4. Revealing too much about themselves. Don't tell them you are a trader or a hustler at the beginning. Let me not teach you bad things. You know what to do.

If you go with this strategy, make sure you attend church/mosque programs. Join as many groups as you can.

Try to create time and mingle with girls.

The more you mingle with girls, the more you know their friends and have a better chance.

Get a great perfume. Not all those cheap ones. Get something above 40k. Look good.

Talk less so that they won't see through you.

Most importantly, look for the ones that like you. Those are the ones that will spend on you and be willing to marry you.
Most of them are from good backgrounds, so don't be too picky, lest you get a great dose of heartbreak.

I wish you guys the best oooo

What you guys are looking for is GOLD.

And if you want to find GOLD in the mines, you need to sharpen your tools and go to where you are likely to find the GOLD. If you are in Lagos and the gold is in Ibadan, you need to leave your comfort zone and do what you have to do.

You also need to get your personal protective equipment and a lot of shock absorber to protect you from any form of heartbreak hazards . These girls you are looking for are hypergamous and very brutal. But if you they love you ehn, the feeling is BLISS. Most importantly, you need LUCK to achieve your goal .

I wish you luck my friends......

Since I posted this, naira has gone from 450 to 520.

If all you did was buy and keep, that's some 16% in 6 months. But if you invested in Apple, Microsoft, Google or VOO, you should be 30%+ .

No rocket science

Hello I sent you a PM. Kindly reply.

Annie001:

You called 100 words just or are you guys not looking for original content?
I went through your post, and you have always been looking for writers
Good luck to those you are about to steal their content again ��

Steal content for what?

If we want to steal content, so it's 100 words we would steal?

Besides, do you have any evidence for your claims.

You will be given 10k if you can substantiate your claim.

This is the last time we will respond to you if you can't prove your claims.

xcelpro:


I've sent in mine.
Please I would be grateful if you can send a reply as mail to those that will not be selected stating the reason(s) why they were not selected to avoid repetition of same mistakes in future.
Thank you.

Thank you.

It would be done if you submitted your work as a Word file.

adaperry25:

What's the guarantee that this is genuine? How are we sure that there won't be intellectual theft

The question is what guarantees do you need?

Besides, we are only asking for 100-word sample.

If we ask you to write the 1000 word essay, we will pay the 10k whether we like it or not.

And if we like it, we will pay 20k.

Of course, if we fail to fulfill the terms and conditions, the writer can use this platform to tarnish our reputation, and this has never happened in the last 10 years.

Again, our aim is not only to award this project to successful applicants but also to give the person(s) the opportunity to join our team and earn more by writing less content.

So, if you desire to write and earn mouth-watering income, this is the opportunity for you to showcase your writing skills.

Good luck

It's still available.

We've decided to extend the deadline by 2 days.

Please we want applicants to ensure that their introduction (100-word) is on point.

In your paragraph, your first sentence should indicate your main point. In the second sentence, state the evidence of your main point. In the other sentences, explain your evidence and your main points.

It's unfortunate that some writers are using you, us, we and other second person pronouns in their samples.

This is an essay, not an article.

This is just to remind all those interested in this project that we will check their work tomorrow evening and decide the writers we are comfortable to work with.

Thank you.
