    Its unfortunate that most Nigerians have tarnished the image of even the good ones. I am a Ghanaian South African living in Estonian and I was surprised to meet a good Nigerian family here in Tallinn. I agree with you that "If you Dont like Estonia - You leave, its that simple" Estonians are the way they are because there is always a story behind every culture and when you get to know that, you understand the behavior, you may not agree with Estonian behavior but you understand why it is what it is.

    I'm from Southeast Asia, from a very little known place where there aren't many foreigners and I can 100% relate to what you said about Nigerians. There's this one token Nigerian dude who moved here and he keeps crying and complaining about people here. He's extremely sensitive about everything said on social media. He's lucky all he does is complain in a passive manner. If he even acts a little bossy or crosses the line, he would 100% get lýnchěď by the public here.

      @@AR777bomb i have met so many nigerians here who weaponize the racism for not getting a job but compared to asians or russians, they truly do not put the same work energy and discipline into their work. Many have told me “why should i learn estonian? Its such a pointless language” yet cry to everyone why no one wants to be theri friends or why they dont get hired. Every nigerian i’ve had to help others hire, lied how “experienced” they were and straight up DISRESPECTED (called them racist and xenophobic etc) a person when they didnt get hired. Im sure there are very nice ones and ones, who work hard but overall reputation of them isnt good in estonia nor any other country.

    Thank you for making this highly informative video. Could you please clarify something for me? When you say "playing online games" may interfere with one's ability to acquire a loan, are you talking about "online games" in the sense of online gambling, or like video games? Or do you mean "games" in the metaphorical sense of being shady / trying to do a scam? Gambling & being shady would make sense as problematic items, but if we're talking about online video games, then I would like to understand why that's seen as a red flag. Thank you.

    You make a lot of good/valid points but.. I'm a foreigner in Estonia and i've been here for quite some time. My experience is that the general attitude from Estonians has changed a lot in the last few years. Estonians were a lot more friendly and open towards foreigners before when i came. I don't know what has caused that change, perhaps it is because of how many "bad" foreigners that has come? My other point is that when I came to Estonia, i was very social, friendly, respectful and helpful. (I'd say generic scandinavian behaviour) I began learning the Estonian language and things felt great but as time went i began noticing that the so called friends that i had was not really friends, I was being used by them. Either for money or for favours. My experience with women has also been bad, there is no loyalty. All these combined has made me anti-social and honestly turned me a bit negative. You'll probably ask me why I'm still in Estonia if my experience is so bad. My answer is: Because I have an Estonian daughter and I don't want to leave her, I want to be in her life. So leaving Estonia is not an option for me. At least not until she's old enough to travel alone to visit etc.

      the thing is that a lot of attitude towards the foreigners as a whole, has improved and declined at the same time. i guess it is dependent on where you are from and what kind of "mindset" you preach. attitude specifically towards scandinavians have gotten worse due the simple fact that a lot of scandinavian companies which function in estonia, treat estonian workers like scum (especially finnish and swedish companies). I had first hand experience with working for one swedish company and their HQ treated us like some 3rd world low scum. swedish people in general look at us as european see 3rd world people - lower class than us, less intelligent than us, poorer than us etc. therefore that "less friendly" attitude must come from that perspective. when you are filled with constant frustration and anger, it is hard to point it towards people who deserve it and people end up bleeding on those, who did not do anything but just carry this 1 character in them, which triggers them. from my personal experience out of ALL foreigners i've met, africans in general have treated estonians the worst (either african women legit financially abusing estonian/russian men and women; constantly ensuring that someone at work would get fired over their delusional racism or everything is always - white vs black). i have also experienced it first hand, therefore i have personally distanced myself from a lot of them (i got financially ripped off since my "being friendly estonian" was taken advantage of. when it comes to other people, i have not heard it that often or on that scale. we as estonians currently see what is going on all over europe and what "foreigners" in general do to white people or european natives in general, and this has made us very very distant from everyone. despite the fact that estonians have admired scandinavians for more than 30 years, even they have not learend from the experiences of UK and other countries, yet they treat legit criminal immigrants better than europeans or their own people. therefore estonains are extremely cautious of everyone, no matter how you look like or where yoy come from. i can definitely say that my personal experience has been insanely bad specifically from people outside of europe, which has also caused me to be extremely cautious about them (i am obviously not that friendly with them). and i also have heard it from vaaaaarious of other estonian and russian women (their experiences with men and also foreign female friends). i am sorry that you've experienced it. i hope you'll give us a chance still. i recommend you to be straightforward and just overall blunt about your opinions. we respect it more than someone smiling and later talking shit about us on facebook expat group or in their youtube channel. the fact is that you do not belong to one of that group i talk about. i usually talk about foreigners who are morally corrupt and overall rude/low intelligent people, who straight up choose violence when they wake up from their bed and create deluisonal problems, to satisfy their past experiences. they bleed on people who do not deserve it yet they dont leave either.

      @@everythingaboutestonia Thank you for your in-detail response. It does explain a lot. It does confirm a little of what i've felt, that there's a lot more "us vs them" mentality going on. Which is a shame to be honest but at the same understandable considering what you wrote. I do agree with you that the EU in general has failed miserably with immigration. The "open border" policy is ruining a lot. There needs to be stronger restrictions. For example, there's absolutely no reason to take in foreigners from outside the EU that don't actually add unique qualifications in the workforce, Estonians should get those positions instead. As for Scandinavian companies treating people like shit, that actually surprises me since there's such a strong workers unions mentality in Scandinavia. I do believe that Estonian workforce needs to unionize more in order to protect themselves from bad companies.

    Your views on the use of foreign languages on the work place is interesting; Can you elaborate on that? You compare the ban of the Russian language on the work place (which is logically banned due to the situation), but has nothing to do with other foreigners speaking their mother tongue to communicate internally. Would you ban Greeks in Estonia too if they speak Greek to each other true the speaking system? Or Bulgarians? Or Portuguese,? Because those are foreign languages too..
