That money you will use to move to Finland use it to learn a skill in Nigeria and start a venture. That it worked for her does not mean it will work for you.
Really organized and beautiful country.. You can imagine their population is not even up to that of Lagos.. Chaii.. Nigeria still has a very long way ahead. And they make life very easy for its citizens... Beautiful interview.. Welldone guys..

Hello Good evening from this part of the world 🌍 Please I really need your advice please From your travels experience which of this country will you advise someone to move to Finland or Sweden Me and my wife are currently working on relocating to Europe this year Which of them has more jobs opportunities I will be waiting for your response please
Actually Finland has Swedish speaking Finns, they have some different cultural traditions. Sámi people and Romani people as well, they have their own languages and culture, they both are about 0,2% of the population. So yes, those are minor populations, therefore there is not much diversity in Finland. 95% of the population is Finnish (including 5% who speak Swedish). The rest 5% speak foreign languages, half of them either Russian or Estonian. I have met a few Nigerians though, but I live in Helsinki. She seems lovely.

@@UdonsiYT Thanks for your like! I just went to find this pretty interesting fact of Finland, that came into my mind: "The genetic differences between Eastern and Western Finns are considerably greater than the differences between many European nations, and accurate genetic analysis is able to distinguish Finns with almost provincial precision." Finland is actually that unique, that Europe could be divided into Finnish and Non-Finnish Europeans.

I am not sure if you're able to see this as my intention is, but I take the risk. She isn't a Nigerian Prince trying some scam, so there's no reason for Finns to have any special attitudes toward her. Most Finns know very little about Nigeria. Older generation remembers and knows about the war of Biafra and other problematic periods and challenges. We have learned about the population explosion, religiously or regional unrest, oil industry... But we all should remember that countries and individual persons are totally different categories and we shouldn't reflect the challenges of one to the other. Let's try to meet each person as they are and not as a representative of a country.
