Obviously I know a good number of Nigerians are in Russia already. But one thing I've realized is that most Nigerians don't add Russia to their country of preference compared to UK, Canada and .

Some would even prefer to start up with smaller countries like Estonia. I hope you all know Russia is the cheapest European country you could move to.

When I'm on Instagram and I view pages of Africans in Russia, Nigerians are always the least.

Why isn't anyone talking about Russia, is it because of their low cost of living or currency. Because 1 Russian ruble is 5 naira.

It would cost you just 2.5 million to move to Russia and study compared to a good number of European countries. And don't come here telling me about racism bullshit, it's actually safe in Russia lately, watch some YouTube videos and see for yourself.

Housing there is actually very cheap too, I know a girl who pays just a 100 dollars per year for her apartment.

Russia is one country that has the biggest landmass on Earth. So many European countries are small, buying land properties would be expensive and won't be easy neither. Nigeria is 3 times bigger than UK.

It's annoying when I see Nigerians on Nairaland who have just 2million naira, when people tell them their money is too small. You only need 4000 US dollars in your as proof of funds to move to Russia.

I'm not an agent so don't think I need your money, I got all my information through research on Russian study platforms. Go on Instagram and check out Africans in Russia.

I would stop here, so I don't talk down on other European countries before the mods come for me.

Please what's the best route to travel to Russia.

Studying over there is the best. And it's very cheap too.

Transport is very cheap, food, housing etc. Do some research, you'd love Russia.

Russia is one of the easiest for now. Russia, Estonia and Latvia, they are quite easy.

I just checked one old thread, from their replies it seems like they are extremely racist, one guy was sentenced to life imprisonment just because of self defence.

Lol. Some folks would come out here and tell you how America is the most racist country on earth. I've seen folks who said Poland is a very racist country and I've also seen folks who said nice things about Poland.

Focus on views from the majority and not just one person. Like I said, go on YouTube and watch videos about blacks in Russia talking about Russia.

So many countries got their flaws. I saw a video on Facebook where three white guys were beating up a black guy in . But so many black folks still live in peacefully.

Pls he can someone apply for Estonia or Latvia visa in Nigeria

i respect you for this answer every country have bitch in dem just like naija but there are still thousand of nigeria cummunity there there are 4 black politician in poland 3 are nigerians google nigeria descent in every country

Even in Nigeria, we are still being treated like 2nd class citizens.

My own is anywhere you find yourself, make the best of it.

Make friends with the locals and speak a little bit of thier language, you never can tell where it might be your saving grace.

Nice one op

Please where do I start from

Maybe they want to keep their internal organs.

I search a few stuff about their stuff ....seem you must be able to speak the Russian language before you can be itted

I think speaking of their language is the problem

I would be wary about accepting immigration advice from someone who isn't in said country.

No offense to the OP but convincing people to go to a place because you saw happy pictures of other people online is very risky especially when you don't live there yourself. No one is posting their struggles online.

I am not here to discourage anyone but please carry out a thorough research before making a decision because someone on a faceless forum said so.

Are you in Russia?

Russia?

I will strongly advice against schooling or living in Mother Russia. Smart people actually prefer living in those aforementioned small EU countries. It's likewise cheap to live there but with somewhat less opportunities ( East Europe factor)
Access to about 28 countries. Also you can use PR obtained from those small countries in prosperous Eu Nations like , Netherlands etc. Massive opportunity !!! Russians need visa to be in EU countries.
Be wise.

you are right those skinhead in russia have polical backup best bet is eu dont go country cause is cheap but quality over quantity

Happy pictures of people online? Now this doesn't even sound right. Most Nigerians move to a certain country just from the briefing an agent gives them.

I'm telling these folks now to research online, go on YouTube and hear from folks in Russia, there are billion of videos on YouTube with different perspectives.

I even told them to go on Instagram too, if they need to do an extra research. Go on Russia study portal too.

The country you aspire on moving too. Have you ever been there before? You are skeptical about my advice on people researching on YouTube or what, because it was clearly stated in my content. You are only repeating what I've already said.

I recently got a volunteering opportunity in Russia with accommodation and feeding for 3 months, but embassy is not open for visa application for now and i have received all the necessary documents from organization. The programme commenced by May. Do anyone have an idea when the embassy will open?
