Norway is too cold, i don't like cold weather... That's true UK is an Island, i even that if there are beaches in that UK. Uk don't have good weather, I will not like to move there, i might move to the south of France...

I was born in Spain, my parents are from Equatorial Guinea. I left Spain when I was 24 to come to live in the UK and I'm married to a Nigerian and I have young children who love Spain. To be honest, I love Spain but there are not even a quarter of the opportunities for us Africans there as there are in the UK. I experienced racism all my life, bear in mind that I was born there so no foreign accent or funny business. I was never considered Spanish. When I finish my studies I NEVER got a job that wasn't in a club or pub. No shops or other business would employ me once they saw my photo in my CV (Yes! You must add a photo). Nowadays, I only go there on holidays to enjoy the weather and the food. I might go back there to retire with my money coming from the UK though.

There is high crime rates in the cities. I wish healthcare is free. Apart from that, I love living here. I mind my business and make my small small money…

Aunty Flo, thanks for making this enlightening video. I enjoyed watching it. I’ve lived 11 years in the UK and I’m a practicing medical doctor here. I have studied here, married here and worked here, So I have a bit of knowledge of different aspects of the Uk. I would agree with the points about the weather and that it’s not as “touristy” if you’re not visiting London. I would also agree that Spanish people are more friendly, warmer and more bubbly than the UK. But...a few things to add from my limited experience. The UK is really more than London. London is quite expensive, in terms of cost of living and accommodation - I agree. But this is Just like say Madrid or any other capital city in Europe. There’s lots of other cities beyond London or cities close to London, which are brilliant to live with reasonable cost. I would also argue that the NHS has one of the best Health care systems in the world. I have been to a Spanish hospital whilst on holiday and I didn’t think there was any great difference to the system, however I was a tourist so I suppose that means I can’t fully comment on the usual system. I think the health care resources a GP surgery has access to here is dependent on the population in that area (ie older people, children, more disabled, more chronic health problems etc). I am a hospital doctor, and I still maintain that the health care system is top notch. I think we can’t really generalise the whole UK based on a few cities in the country.

@FloChinyere

Good to hear that the hospitals are top notch from someone who works there. Everything I said in this video is based on my experience not hearsay and I did issue a disclaimer that I did not use the health service that much. This is my experience as a patient and this perspective is very important too because we are the receivers of the service a.k.a the customers. And I did not generalize. It's impossible for me to sample every location in a country before sharing my experience. 😂 Experiences will always be based on where the person lived.

I don't know in which country you had the bad experiences about Nigerians not having each other's back. I have come to know that Nigerians are generally helpful to each other at least in central Europe. I have heard positive stories of people showing new people the way once they arrive: in Germany, the Netherlands ... Here in Spain, once we hear that a new person is in town (sometimes the charitable associations send them to our meeting because it is registered), we invite the person to our meeting and give him/her general guidance, how to settle in, where to submit CVs end give accommodation to those who need it. Some people will also put in a good word for the person at their places of work. Also, the good thing is that in developed countries, all the information is available to the person. Once one overcomes the language barrier (where applicable), the person will have access to that information. Maybe I am saying this because while I welcome all extension of a helping hand when I am in a new place, I do not feel entitled to it. I ask questions where necessary and I usually get the answers I need or a nudge in the right direction. Only a few people will hold your hands and guide you 100% in a new place unsolicited, most likely your family members that already live in the place. This does not mean that the rest are bad people, everyone is busy living their own lives and some people just don't want to impose their guidance on you so they wait for you to ask first.

Interesting! I thought you were in USA or Canada oo. Now I know you're in Spain, please show us more of the culture, food lifestyle there. Thanks.

Totally agree about mixer taps

Lovely again madam. Have been living in the USA but have traveled to all the continent for work since I worked for the government. Learned a lot. Apart from the USA, Panama was the most beautiful and enjoyable because the climate is like Nigeria. Except language of course, they speak Spanish but was easy to understand and learn. Still love i here in America but nothing like home, Nigeria.

Flo this is beautiful. Now I want to visit Spain. The Spanish government should make you an ambassador. Well done

We should all tell ourselves the truth, none of this countries has it all. It’s all about your decisions.The only best country you can get it all is in HEAVEN 👌kachifuooo

Teesside is on the North East England. The North sea is a bummer I live in Scotland and a very happy living here.

I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and I love it here as opposed to the US because of the free health care and unending niceness. The people here will not make you feel weird for having an accent. That and all the benefits that is given here. Oh did I also mention that we get rent assistance? If your rent is 1k the government can give you up to 750 dollars in rent assistance. Also it’s cold here o 😩 we can get -50 degrees that’s the only side I don’t like very much. But then again we work from home 😌

Interesting "for and against" debate here! But we mustn't forget the quiet role that Fate plays in our individual experiencing. In other words, it is possible to experience misery in a prosperous land and conversely, strike gold in a country where many are impoverished! Things don't just happen ... things happen justly! We all long for good fortune in life regardless of our physical location on earth! Viva Espana, viva Britannia 🇪🇸🇬🇧

I live in Spain and borned in there right now is very warm yesterday we even did a water balloon fight Spain is very good to go In summer vacations or winter vacation

You made me laugh Flo. The British are friendly, if you talk to the people in the UK they will talk to you. In fact you will become fed up of talking. We are rather reserved in the Uk that is why. People are not sure if you want to talk or not.

We are saying the same thing nowww 😂 The Spaniards will talk to you first especially when they see you are a foreigner rather than waiting for you to speak to them first. Remember that we are comparing two groups of people here so one group must come out tops. It does not mean the other group is totally bad.

I live in Germany and have been to the UK twice. I think in Germany the Infrastructure, healthcare system and weather, is far better off than in the UK. Also school is tuition-free for both international and national students. The downside is their strict rules, learning a new language, workaholics and high racism in Germany.

I live in Germany and have visited the Uk . In my opinion you can’t compare Germany to Uk , Germany wins hands down. The quality of life here is second to none, however language barrier is the only problem I see not racism. Uk is constitutionally racist but a lot of people don’t know.

@@ogehnwaogidi2138 they don't know this because of the sheer number of blacks in the UK today. They outnumber the whites so even if whites hate blacks, you can't discriminate against them like that. But racism is still there. They should go back to the early days when blacks first started migrating to the UK and they will know that continental European countries of today are saints.

Exactly. The UK is liberal and accomodating to us Africans compared to other EU countries. There are racists on every part of the world but the law is heavy on racists in the UK and that makes it better. Also lots of jobs with opportunities. Most Nigerians in Spain got their as per first entry opportunities or as stopover and then migrate to the UK once they have got their papers.
