Something in the middle is good enough. But I prefer West Africa's weather to living in a snow filled area. The effects you listed have more to do with poor infrastructure - constant electricity, tarred roads, tight environmental laws to mitigate against pollution etc - rather than the weather itself.

You are right.

I was in Abu Dhabi last year August, and man, that place is so freaking hot. Even northern Nigeria is not as hot as the UAE. The Africans I met there was telling me that the few days I will be around is not even the hottest.

Its so hot that all you have to do is just stand. Dont walk, just stand, and you will be dripping liquid as if you just came out of a swimming pool.

But the people there looks so clean, because all their houses have AC, and the infrastructure and general development is good enough to living in such hot climate.

But on a side note, the UAE is fine o. Their police cars are like sportcars, and even though its filled with expats and people from all over the world, its the only cosmopolitan place I have been where I didnt see interracial couples.

Arab women no dey near foreigners lol;.

You think other Africans care or have time to criticize the "giant of Africans" who are still living in darkness in 2025 ? Honest question.

Actually Nigeria is far from the worst, we just enjoy criticizing ourselves - it is our national pastime

I wanted to use Singapore as an example, but since I haven't been there yet, I didn't. But Singapore is equally hot as Nigeria, but the infrastructure is world class with tarred roads resulting in minimal or a dust-free environment and air-conditioning systems around. Lee Kuan Yew praised the invention for Singapore's productivity. Additionally, Singaporean Chinese have a more posh/ajebo face compared to those from Mainland China due to the long period of economic prosperity. So, it is largely a function of wealth and what it offers rather than weather. Our African American folks look better than Black Africans. The case study will be on those in the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, parts of Brazil (The State of Bahia) and the Cayman Islands to see if there is a significant difference due to the weather vis-a-vis how prosperous they are.

One has to leave this Aba where I am so I see more of the world. cry

About inter-racial couples, there are two major reasons:
- Islam and Arabian culture. There are more foreigners than Emiratis and most of whom aren't Arabian Muslims.
- The UAE, particularly Dubai, is largely a transient place where people go to make money and have fun but don't intend to dwell for eternity. Also factor in the near impossibility of attaining permanent residency.

A 2004 Toyota Corolla costs around N6 million now. How long will a N500k per month person save to buy the used version of a car manufactured 22 years ago?

Even when you aim to earn in dollars to beat the inflation, have you ever tried to get a remote job on the international market as a Nigerian? Unless you are a software developer, being a Nigerian means you likely have to be 10X more qualified before you are even considered.

Opportunities are available for everyone except Nigeria. Lol. This has caused a lot of young people to falsify locations using VPNs
It is a crazy reality.

This is very correct. Good infrastructure has a way of making the weather irrelevant lol.

Even in the village, people that have to farm looks rougher than those in the city from the same country.

But still on that, west Africa is too hot. The same 30 degrees is hotter in Lagos than in South Africa due to the humidity level.
