As the first month of the year 2020 is fast coming to an end, a lot of people have commenced plans to migrate out of Nigeria.
According to statistics, Nigerians ranks top on the list of widely traveled people in the world and the reason is obvious; “Nigeria Go Better.”
While life everywhere is challenging, however, there are basic necessities of life such as good roads, security, health care, schools, water, electricity, to mention a few; majority of which Nigeria lacks.
For instance, unemployment rate going high, insecurity is alarming. The low standard of living and societal oppression sum up to give Nigeria away as a bad place to live in.
Hence, it is not surprising why most Nigerians find solace abroad. You may not really understand the extent which Nigerians go to escape from the country; they are desperate!
However, it is sad to know that most Nigerians who intend to migrate abroad are driven by desperation and quest for wealth. They hardly ask themselves, is this ''greener pasture'' best for me?
In addition, most migrants hardly bother themselves with such questions like what is the best country to migrate to from Nigeria? While they fail to find answers to the question, majority fall prey to scammers and into the hands of dubious visa agents. Others forge documents and get themselves into trouble in Nigeria and overseas.
Therefore, before you make a move to travel, it is advisable to know about your destination. Those information gathered will help you to understand how their system work, their economy and life in general. This should help you in your decision making process in parallel with choice of destination.
In all, ensure your desperation and/or desire to leave Nigeria is driven by a purpose. Outline your purpose and travel plans before you set out.
Top Countries to Migrate from Nigeria in 2020
Perhaps you are looking to relocate this year, you may wish to add below countries in your list.
A few indices where checked before listing these countries as good place for migrants that is, standard of living, economy, receptiveness to migrants and so on.
Now let's get started.
7. Finland
If all you need is a country that will offer you a relatively high standard of living and peace, then, look to Finland.
Finland boasts one of the most robust economies in the world. Unemployment rate is very low and with its small population, jobs are largely available. Skilled immigrants are often welcomed with open hands. Aside, Helsinki, there are many modern cities in the country that offer such quality life you can get in other developed countries.
6. The United Arab Emirates
Surprise, right? Believe it or not, the United Arab Emirates is a good country to live as a Nigerian.
The country maintains a very low crime profile. Recently, it threw open its borders to immigrants from different countries for the purposes of tourism and residency. Though country is traditionally conservative, yet, it's by far the most liberal nation in the Middle East.
With sentiment, many believe the country mostly favors Muslim immigrants, however, its good to know that UAE is home for millions of Christian migrants from different nations of the world including Nigeria with presence of prominent churches such as RCCG, Winners, COZA, MFM, CAC, etc. While in UAE, you can never get lost.
5. New Zealand
Besides its slightly extreme weather and distance, New Zealand is a nice option for immigrants.
The language spoken is English. With a low population of about 5 million people, the country flourishes in peace and good living. Moreover, skilled jobs are available for migrants seeking to settle in the country with good earnings.
Education is of quality but cheap for residents. You can settle and hustle your way up as a Nigerian who is determined to earn high through legitimate means. Also, as it obtains in Australia, citizenship in New Zealand takes a period of 5 years.
4. Sweden
Sweden has risen to take the top spot in the list of countries to migrate to by foreigners. The reasons are obvious as Sweden boasts of a stable economy. It is the most receptive country for immigrants, even often preferred ahead of Canada and Switzerland.
Recently, the government of Sweden opened the borders of the country to refugees from other countries. This gave a huge rise to the population of migrants living in the country.
As a Nigerian seeking to travel to Sweden, you are at a huge advantage. Aside from the fact that you would experience low racial discrimination, you would be exposed to bigger opportunities, especially employment.
3. Germany
Asides relative language barrier, Germany is a dream country to settle as immigrant.
With population of about 83 million people, Germany is far less populated than Nigerian. But in terms of development, only a few countries can match it. Its robust economy raises the bar of the standard of living and makes life good.
Skilled migrants and those who are into technology, Germany could be a dream country.
2. Australia
Asides the travel hours from Nigeria, Australia is by far, the best country to migrate to as a Nigerian.
Australia offers quality life to all, regardless of their racial and religious backgrounds. Its little population of about 23.7 million people, distance and slightly harsh weather placed the country at a disadvantage as it hugely lacks skilled labor.
Like Canada, it is constantly seeking skilled workers from all countries to help fill vacant job spaces. Although Australia has lately tightened up its borders by making migrants pay a little high in processing Australian visas or entry into the country. Yet, it receives an influx of migrants from different social and economic background. You can trust Nigerians ''we no dey carry last''.
Regardless of your purpose and plans in Australia, as long as it is not illegal, you have boundless opportunities at your disposal.
1. Canada
With latest statistics ranking Canada as the best country to live, it is not a surprise to see Prince Harry and Meghan choose the country to settle in after feud with UK Royal dynasty.
No doubt, Canada is a safe haven for migrants from across the globe.
United Nations rated Canada, as one of the best countries to live. Though the standard of living in the country is relatively high, but in exchange, you are sure of living a comfortable life with good earning to afford much of basic daily needs.
As a skilled hardworking Nigerian, you are at a huge advantage to earn high in Canada even more than some citizens.
