Introduction
It’s no secret that many scholarship programs are based in the United States. This is because many American colleges and universities have their own scholarship programs.
It also means that students who are thinking about studying abroad can choose from a wide variety of countries where they can receive financial aid. One thing you might consider when choosing a school for your studies abroad is whether or not its environment may affect your choice of study destination.
Popular African countries like Nigeria seem like excellent destinations for someone who is thinking of studying abroad, but there are also benefits and drawbacks.
If you’re considering studying abroad, it can be helpful to find out what other people are saying about the countries that you are interested in. This will help you make an informed decision about which country would be best for your career and lifestyle.
The first thing that we want to do is talk about Nigeria. One of the main advantages for many students studying in Nigeria is their low cost of living relative to other African countries like Kenya or South Africa. However, there are several drawbacks:
- The crime rate is high because it’s so chaotic
- There aren’t many jobs available after graduation due to the poor economy.
Aside From the Occasional Crime, Nigeria Is not Particularly an Unsafe Country
Aside from the occasional crime, Nigeria is not a particularly unsafe country. There are no large cities in Nigeria with high levels of violence and crime.
In fact, most crimes are petty theft or street robbery at best. Most of the time you can walk down any street without fear of being mugged or attacked by someone looking for easy money (or worse).
It’s important to note that there are some areas within the country where crime rates are higher than average but these tend to be far away from major cities like Lagos and Abuja where most students live during their studies abroad experience.
It is Possible to Live Comfortably in Nigeria Without Spending Too Much Money
Living in Nigeria can be quite cheap compared to some other African countries if you know where to look.
Food
You can eat for less than $1 per meal. If you’re willing to cook your own food and get creative with the ingredients, you’ll be able to save even more money on food by doing so!
There are many eateries/restaurants that offer cheap or free meals as part of their offer but these aren’t always advertised publicly so it’s best if you ask around at university events or similar places where people might be more likely to share information about their local area’s offerings (e.g., clubs).
Lodging
You’ll find that there are plenty of cheap accommodations available if you’re willing to ask around thoroughly enough. It’s just a matter of finding one that fits within your budget parameters while still being comfortable enough during those times when they’re not fully booked up due simply because they haven’t advertised themselves yet!
Make friends with locals who speak English well enough so as not only could help you find accommodation but also show you around when needed. This way we won’t need too much assistance finding somewhere affordable yet still nice enough up close which would save both parties some valuable time together while traveling abroad together.
The People Of Nigeria Are Extremely Friendly And Hospitable
The people of Nigeria are extremely friendly and hospitable. They are very respectful of visitors and will invite you to their homes for dinner or a drink as soon as you arrive in the country.
In fact, many Nigerians have a strong sense of identity with their country. Many feel that it’s better to live in Nigeria than any other place on earth because they know how much it means to them personally—and even more so because they see how much good comes out of being here.
The culture may be quite different from what many students are used to, there is no need for students to worry about their safety when visiting Nigeria.
Although it is certainly a good idea for students who are visiting these countries to take some precautions and try not to stand out too much as foreigners, there is no reason to worry about being mugged or harassed on the streets in these countries.
Although it is certainly a good idea for students who are visiting these countries to take some precautions and try not to stand out too much as foreigners, there really is no reason to worry about being mugged or harassed on the streets in these countries.
The truth is that most people from other countries have never been mugged in their lives (and if they have been robbed before then they probably didn’t report it).
Conclusion
Students should consider their own personal needs and preferences when choosing a scholarship destination. If you are looking for a country that has good weather, then Nigeria might be an excellent choice for you.
However, if you’re more interested in cultural immersion or just want to go somewhere different from home, then other African countries like South Africa or Ghana might be better options.
It’s important not only because it will affect how comfortable each person feels during their stay abroad, but also because many students who choose Nigeria as their scholarship destination end up having trouble adjusting back into their home country afterwards due not just being away from family members (which can be tough) but also dealing with difficult economic conditions in their new home country!
