From The Streets Of Warri To Finland: My Story (136101 Views)
Re: From The Streets Of Warri To Finland: My Story by Nobody: 5:51am On Nov 03, 2017 |
I gathered all the information I needed from Nigerians living in Finland, who I befriended through social media...I applied for a study place at these schools: University of Oulu, Environmental Engineering, Lapperranta University of Technology, Chemical Engineering and Aalto University....Guess what? I was rejected by ALL of them, even though I packaged my low cgpa with a sharp motivation letter and my Internship matters from Port Harcourt Refinery...My savings went below N1M already as I was getting more frustrated! I paid a short visit to my younger ones in Warri, and we were happily chatting away, when our last born mentioned that he had been talking with a Swedish girl on Facebook, but she wasn’t so interested in him because he was way younger than her, she was 25, he was 18.....I was 27 then ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 68 Likes 4 Shares |

YungJo207: Thanks for this question! I want everyone aspiring to come to Europe to do this in your own interest: Learn those trade we often neglect back home in Naija! Welding and fabrication, hair making, plumbing, if you have the means, learn to drive forklifts, trucks etc....you go blow scatter for here, I met a Yoruba guy who works as a forklift driver here, he’s doing extremely well and travels around the world for vacation with his family I haven’t experienced racism, the Finns are naturally shy and keep to themselves, is way better than Slovakia, try to learn the language already on your own or pay to learn it if you can My two cents!! 68 Likes 12 Shares |

Spylord48: Yes! I devoted 3hours per day on YouTube and several language websites to polish my skills to around 50%, I did this for over 5months, language is critical here, I knew this,and to penetrate the right people, you really had to communicate in their own language 31 Likes 1 Share |
