Editor DorisSo you want to travel from Nigeria to Europe without a Visa. That is particularly tricky; but with the increasing desperation of Nigerians to flee the fatherland because of the bleak economic prospects caused by insecurity, corruption, and sheer wickedness from the political elite, anything goes right now!
Therefore, in this article, I listed Nigeria visa-free countries in Europe, the Western Hemisphere, or even countries that are not geographically located in Europe but which share certain economic resemblances with Europe, or that at least offer the prospect of easily reaching Europe where one can settle down, start a new life, and escape the economic hardship in Nigeria.
We must state that this is not a recommendation, but a collection of information.
