5 Reasons Why Living in Europe Or America SUCKS | Yet A Lot of Africans Want to Come Over

1. Starting Life All Over

It’s when you travel to live in Europe or America that even big men become ‘small boys’; you have to start all over—and forget how much money you had back home. Because under the European and American systems, money does not always buy you everything—there are strict rules and standards you must conform.

Imagine having moved or smuggled yourself into any of the well regulated European or American countries without the needed permit, you will first have to try and sort your immigration status out. Back home, we don’t really have anything to do with the immigration offices. When you travel abroad, you would begin to appreciate the power of being a citizen.

You cannot even open a simple bank account without the right status, let alone find a job to make the much needed money which brought you abroad. When you move abroad, you have to start all over again—life starts for you on so many levels; you will even have to learn how to move around. You have to grab which bus or train goes where and where to even buy toilet rolls from.

It’s like you’ve dropped yourself on earth from a whole different planet. The starting over gets difficult if you find yourself in a non-English speaking country like Germany where I live or Netherlands… Now you are in for the real ‘shegay’ because you cannot even ask for directions as you cannot speak the language.

Don’t bother speaking English because most people don’t really give a toss about that in such countries—so you have to learn to speak theirs or just piss off.
