Which "black south Africans"? Please stop that joke. When you go to South Africa, I'm not even talking about the rural areas, I'm talking Pretoria, Cape Town, Joburg, etc... You see the prosperity of the whites and the blacks looking so wretched, with drawn faces, they know they don't belong there, in their own country! That is why they lash out every now and then with xenophobic attacks. Julius Malema is trying hard to see how blacks can have economic empowerment cos the whites have a stranglehold on that.
It is a fact that Black South Africans are the second wealthiest group of black people globally after African Americans. I am not going to believe an anecdotal statement over a verifiable study. Apart from the wealthy areas in Lagos, a mere stroll in many neighbourhoods shows people with forlorn faces and poverty biting everyone. The same across other parts of Nigeria. In the oil-rich Niger Delta, the same holds and a first-timer would wonder why the oil wealth does not replicate on the natives of where the oil is drilled compared to Emiratis and Qataris. Does this mean there are no rich people in PH, Uyo and Warri? No. The number is the difference.

South Africa has the highest number of dollar millionaires in Africa. South Africa has the highest number of black dollar millionaires in Africa.
Facts, not fats, figures, not figos. I will go with verifiable facts.

Continuation....

All through the night I couldn't sleep, I dare not press my phone, their movement was suspicious, I became more paranoid and unsettled, counting hours and minutes. The night seem slow. Each interval they switch watch, they can't leave us without being watched by the old goons.


Morning finally came, I survived the terrified night I said to myself, I wasn't asked how was your morning, let's go drink tea and all those sweet honeymoon vibes. One after the other, the new guys started preparing for their fake interview, God knows what shock awaits them. They all left, it was remaining me. Neche came in and asked again, have you transferred the money? I said my sister will do that, she wants to confirm the venue first I boldly told her. She said "okay, prepare let's go".

I was prepared, I took my PC and hid some extra clothes should Incase I'm running from there. My travelling bags were still in the room. As I was approaching the exit door, neche supervisor, her name is favor, called me from behind, "are you ready already? Why are you carrying school bag, it's just an interview, why not drop the bag." I responded, it's my PC, I love walking with it Incase I need to do something important. She said "okay oh, but it will be heavy for you".
So I finally exited the building and was outside the gate.

I was waiting for neche, so I messaged her, all this lady was saying, send the money. When she finally came out, I asked her why are you so interested in the money than the job? She responded with anger, "that's how it's done, without the money, no interview. I responded so if I don't get the money my journey here is wasted? She said "Na so na" mehnnn I was boiling inside. See small girl wey one scam me still dey vex for me , i said to myself.

While we were talking, Mr Ola ran in like a rabies dog, and walked up to me "I heard you haven't made the payment, what's wrong?" I told him straight to his face, I can't make payment until I get to the company. He said okay and left.

Meanwhile for me to finalize my plans, I need airtime and Data, I told neche to fund me airtime 2k CFA, I want to call my sister to send the money immediately we get to the office, she accepted all she wanted was the money. She got me the airtime while we were there, Mr Ola ed us so we can all move to the said company. NOTE (The money she use to fund the airtime was mine, she kinda seized it, the day I arrived at the house, I had to change naira to CFA, I changed 40k naira to 25k CFA, I paid the taxi guy 5,000 CFA and she held the money since then) as we were going, i asked for my balance, she gave me 15k CFA.


We have already walked almost 5 miles, when I called her, "Neche, I don't think I'm interested in this job anymore, i want to go back" i could see the shock and disappointment on her face, she couldn't believe what she heard. Mr Ola was trying to convince me, "the office is not far let's go so you hear what they have to say" I said I have seen enough. I instructed neche, if you know what's good for you, tell whoever that's in that house to bring my bags out. Failure to to that, I will involve the police. She immediately call her supervisor to bring my bag out but..........



You see, it's all a game. It's a network of players and they are everywhere.
From your WhatsApp text with the said lady, Neche, your trip was partly "pussyyyy-induced". Perhaps you and the girl were old time lovers....

You'll be surprised to know you are one of the few lucky folks able to come back home. If you were unable to identify that "honeymoon phase" for new comers, your own don finish grin

person wey go fall for pussy go still fall. Pussy has never been my problem. I had the resources to hit any girl I want without spending much. The said girl is not even sexually attractive. We were never lovers. I spotted the whole thing right from Burkina Faso border but I needed to come and see things for myself and take some pictures. I took a lot of pictures which I might not release. Traveling is pussy induced, don't worry I will share my experiences on my return to Nigeria and other things.

Glad you are safe man. In the mean time, cease all communication with the girl and people related to her. Get law enforcement agents involved too.

I see you are concerned about her wellbeing and thinking maybe she's not doing the scam willingly... Sorry, she is one of them and earns large from the role she plays.

at first I was but she said she doesn't need my help. She called me bluff. At the end of this article, I will post her Pic and number so people should be weary of her. You're right, she part of them.

Too bad to read that teenage girls are trafficked for prostitution. Nigeria is a bigger market for sex workers, so I don't see why a sex worker should relocate elsewhere in Africa except South Africa where the market is already uber-competitive. Ghana might be okay for sex work, but I am yet to be fully convinced it is better than Delta or Imo. There are Kano, Abuja, Imo, Delta, Edo, Lagos/Ogun/Oyo, Rivers, Cross River, Adamawa/Taraba etc. Nigeria is like the or is supposed to be the United States of America in Africa. So if you must leave the country, move to where there are jobs for non-natives (a different term from non-citizens). Move to where permanent residency is possible, and if not, the salaries are very high to make up for the impossibility. Grind hard, save and move elsewhere or back to Nigeria.

For instance, English teaching can be a means to raise funds in say 2 - 3 years, but don't go to a place like Vietnam to teach. Try Japan, Korea or China (it pays the highest) if you have the relevant credentials. For blue collar jobs, try the UAE and Singapore. Yes, they are tough to get jobs in those countries, but the work conditions are better and the salaries are high enough. Qatar might be okay, but I don't believe there are more jobs there than in the UAE. The same applies to Turkey. Don't go to Malaysia or one funny looking country in the Middle East. Most importantly, don't attempt to travel on a visit visa. LIFE WOULD BE MISERABLE FOR YOU!
My school mate who had a first class in Chemical Engineering, is adept in data science and has almost graduated with a M.Eng from a recognised Canadian university has complained of job rejections when he applies for jobs. However, a part of it is his fault as he did not commence the job-hunting process immediately after he arrived. He left it too late. Anyway, the reason I quoted this post is because if he were to be in Japan, I am dead sure he would have had multiple offers from Japanese companies. The only persons I know who don't have good jobs after graduation are those who leave it too late in job applications, lack the relevant engineering skills and/or don't bother to improve their Japanese proficiency. Every engineering grad who marked these boxes has a good job. The language proficiency can be dropped if relevant skills are examined.

So, where am I going with this? It means it is not only the West that folks should target in the bid for a better life and/or employment opportunities. There are equally other places in the world which offer similar if not a higher quality of life and surfeit of employment opportunities provided you follow the rules, invest in learning the native language, attend a good school, have the relevant skills etc. For Japan and Taiwan, I am dead sure any engineering grad who is sound and has a knowledge of intermediate Japanese and Chinese would get employed because these countries are in dire need of workers for their manufacturing facilities and to maintain their dominance in technology. In Hong Kong, there are plenty of jobs, and more so should you attend a good school and speak Chinese. This means rather than keep toiling to get issued a Polish/American/German/Danish/Czech Republic/Canadian student visa, invest that time in gaining ission into a good university here in Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Their visa processes are relatively straightforward than the popular countries I listed. There are PLENTIFUL of scholarships while as a grad student. I benefitted from them to the point my face was noticed by the screening team for having been awarded multiple scholarships. At a point, I earned the equivalent of $4K per month from scholarships and while some whose duration elapsed, I applied for tuition waivers and got them twice! My education was literally free! I am yet to meet any African who paid FULL tuition fees till graduation without one or two scholarships. As I have stated in a post, I was pampered. All I had to do was go to the lab, that is all. Everything was taken care of including subsidised student housing. Even before graduation, I was asked twice if I wanted to advance to PhD, and if yes, funding was assured. I need not to apply again. It was that good, and I believe it can be the same for anyone with something in the head, willing to follow/abide by the rules of the land and focus on what took you to that place.

For employment, the same as I got two offers and had to decline one. I explained my hunting experience here: https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/7788707/memoirs-chile/49#130041370 If I had applied earlier than when I did, I could have gotten more offers.
A typical good job in Japan pays you the standard salary (plus annual bonuses) for entry level or mid-career (depending on the experience) and depending on the location, offers you housing allowance, transport allowance and pays your health insurance. All you have to do is go to work, do what you are tasked to do and speak Japanese. As I stated, all the Africans, Indians and Vietnamese I know who applied early, speak Japanese and possess relevant skills have good jobs. What about China? I know of a celebrated UI grad (it was on the front page) who is an assistant professor at a university immediately after her PhD. The same will apply in Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially for those with STEM backgrounds with an emphasis on the E aspect. A bit of Chinese and a good job is assured. I am that confident. I read the job stats from these places almost every month and I could feel it inside me that these folks acknowledge the lack of a growing workforce to replace ageing workers. Vietnamese and Indonesians are benefitting immensely from this. Nothing should stop an African.

However, my fear with our people is that should they enter, they would abuse the system either by trying to be fraudulent or displaying poor social mores. These are places with few black people, so it won't be hard to notice any anomaly. It was on Nairaland that I read that Cambodia cancelled the visa free status for Nigerians because our people there were into yahoo yahoo, cultism and other fraudulent activities. Cambodia is a poor country, so as a black African, why would you go there to misbehave? The other day, I read that some have created cult gangs in China. These are countries that don't give a hoot about rAcIsM because I know that is the first word that will ooze out of these people's mouths when disciplined. Talmbout wE wAs kInGs. Additionally, don't come here to chant hUmAn rIgHtS kini kon. Do that with Tinubu and your state governor.

Another one is that as a man (I cannot speak for the female folks), enter and get used to the system before carrying your family along. I know our people: they enter, then boom! They don carry woman and pikin dey waka for air in the name of dependent visa. You are not yet acquainted with the environment, you have brought alongside extra mouths.

I decided to pen this long post because I got the push from another Nairaland who wrote how laboratories in Japanese universities lacked students in their graduate programs. I am paying it forward. The onus on gaining ission is on you - the interested person. The Internet is free. Please use it. I have given you foam, please don't ask me for a pillow.

If I could do it, anyone can.

Best wishes as you apply.

Continuation...

But the supervisor (favor nnena) was adamant, she said I should come to the lodge, whatever happens we can sort it out, that they can't allow me to leave like that, I am under their care, I told her, if she high on the harsh weather, na you pay my transportation come here, I give her 5 minutes to bring my bags or i will go to the police station. She said she's coming.

After awhile, I saw her bringing my bags, checked everything, it was complete. She was asking me what happened, I replied I'm not interested anymore, just want to go back. She enquired if I've been talking to anyone, who will come to pick me? How will I find my way? They were all afraid when I mentioned embassy and police. She was begging me to forgive neche if she lied to me. I said I have nothing against what she did but I'm not interested. She offered to call a taxi man, she said it will be hard for me because I can't speak French, I turned down her offer. I already planned my every step of escaping from the dusty Landlocked Bobo doulasou.

I will tell you, it was not easy communicating with the people because the language barrier is huge, some can't read French you just have to speak. I already installed an offline translator to help has my plan B if my plan A failed. So favor asked me how am I gonna go if I had enough cash, she can call someone to change for me, I accepted that. So the exchanger came, also a nigerian. I changed 100k Naira to 35k CFA. Favor was a bit diplomatic and trying to Sweet mouth me, I must say she's really good but my mind was made up, there's no going back except to Nigeria.

the lady I helped at ougadogu, onome? Yes she speaks French. the instructions I was given, don't talk to anyone, mind your business. This instruction is for a reason and I did the opposite of all they told me. Onome is my ticket outta here I said to myself. With my airtime loaded in my sim, I gave her a call, she was so happy to hear my voice, she said she was expecting my call since the day I got her number to thank me for helping her. I requested her Whatsapp number I want to discuss something with her, without hesitation she sent it.


I messaged her, that I want her to help me communicate with the local, I need a bus to ougadogu, she asked, so soon, i said i will explain when we see. She said I should give the phone to anyone I see, I gave the phone, she spoke in French and directed him what to do and where to take me. I told her to also tell the guy not to disclose the park I was going to board a bus because they were all hanging around to see where I go from there, she instructed him and the price was fixed at 2,000 CFA.

First frame: The guy on white transported me to the park with his bike.

Did i tell you it was Libya? Or you are trying to be negative, do you imagine if I was held in the lodge, what would have happened? I applied the necessary safety measures. I was lucky yes with a million plus sitting in your , they can kill you and bury you. Check the picture, the empty land fenced beside the lodge, could even be a shallow grave. I'm just exaggerating.
Burkina Faso government has been clapping down on human traffickers, that's why their location strategically picked.
