You were probably feeling a bit home sick 😔, something most of us experience when we move to a foreign country, unfortunately. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your point of view! So interesting. I look forward to checking out the island too.
Thank you🧡🤗
You should check it out
Well first of all, I would like to thank you for your honest rant. But let me tell you this. You cannot compare the economy of a 1.2 million populace to a 200 million populace economy. Simple maths!!!
Secondly, I am sorry if you did put the bar that high in terms of expectations. I guess that the key in joining a new group of people is to embrace them as a group and as individuals also which includes acknowledging their history, background, beliefs and culture. May be then may be you will have a different opinion of the people. Mauritius is a young independent country which was once a slave fuelled economy. It took our forefathers some real guts and understanding of fundamental human rights to coexist on a small island such as Mauritius. And work and live side by side to make the island what it is today. I guess you will never understand that. It seems to me that you dreamt of a Michelin lifestyle but for half the price when you talk about how expensive things are. We are surrounded by the sea, which means our means of freight are more expensive than on land locomotives. Therefore things will be more expensive.
Our social fabric is more complex than you Nigerians. We have 4 major ethnic groups whereas you have mostly African.
We have a more complex belief system than you Nigerians. We have Hinduism, Christianity and Catholics, Buddhism and Muslims. Yet, we are tolerant of each other. We practice interracial and interreligious marriage. Which I seriously doubt will be the case in Nigeria. I know you haven't personally criticized the Mauritian people which will be foolish of you to do for Mauritius is smaller than you think. But criticising the way of life of people is like critisizing the individual. Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are. Tell me what you like or dislike and I will tell you what kind of person you are. You want to be part of the populace? Work with them not against. Food can be imported. Where do you think we get our rice and flour. Just make it happen, get retailers to import Nigerians food.
Mauritius has nothing like what you have in Nigeria in terms of natural resources and yet we live in peace and stability. That is a testimony of money and wealth do not always buy peace,health and stability. But mutual understanding and acceptance always yield peace and stability.
RESPECT✌🏽💙
pls do you make students visa to Mauritius
I am irish and lived in the west of Mauritius for a long time, yes, it can get hot, but I liked it for a change lol, it's the mosquitos that killed me! I love hot weather though, and the street food in Mauritius I love it! I love hot spicy food! I was born in the wrong country I think! ..if you look well enough you can find foodstuff to cook your fav dishes, I was able to do this, shop around in the local markets, you will surely find a way..night life I fully agree especially compared to Ireland, hardly any pub culture at all...fashion sense I agree there but I personally love it laid back, ..stray dogs..well I Iove dogs, I'm a dog person lol but every night after work when I got out of my transport van, I was beset on by a pack of dogs, luckily I know how to handle them otherwise it could have gone badly! transportation was an eye opener for me also, I agree, looking at Mauritius on the map,it looks so small, as if you could walk everywhere but I was so shocked by the times it took me to get from a to b..also in taxis, as I am white, I had to sometimes pay "white tax" lol but I still love Mauritius and will be back! Good video , thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for this🥰
Meanwhile some of us want to see the snow 😊
Thank you for this video! I watched till the end and I didn’t feel like anyone has a reason to laugh at you. You presented everything in such a sensitive way, without disrespecting anyone.
I’ve lived in 10 other countries before i ended up in Mauritius, and have traveled pretty much the whole world. I agree with everything you said. To me personally the most frustrating thing is that the island is built in a way that is extremely unwalkable. Barely any pavements, the roads are narrow and extremely uninviting. I have walked all my life and it is an important activity. Not only for getting from A to B, but also because our bodies and minds need it. I miss walking. That and the food -both price and variety are probably my biggest frustrations here. Wish you and your UA-cam channel great success, you’re giving valuable information and you’re lovely to watch
Thank you so much ☺️
I really appreciate your comment
Very helpful info dear and you’re doing great 👍
Thank you ❤
Thanks for the video 🙏🏾
I’ll surely need to rethink my trip
Nice video! And I love your hair.
Thank youuuuu 😊
I agree with pretty much everything you said except two things 1) I do believe people are pretty classy here (especially women). I work in corporate and everyday I see them going to office always well dressed despite no wearing brands or flashy stuff. 2) housing isn't that expensive if you look at it very closely, most houses we rent are fully furnished and if you compare the prices with african countries (such as cameroon where I am from) it's actually cheaper. And the price of non furnished houses are way more affordable.
Regarding the heat... God help us 🙏
That heat part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 e no go end
Mauritius
POWER is Hindu
MONEY is white
The black creol get the short end of the stick.
Oooooooh Flic-en-Flac is extremely hot! You should wear a hat and sunscreen and not only sunscreen, I learned the hard way when I came down with a horrible heat rash. Took 3 weeks to clear. I live on the North East Coast now and it's not as hot here. How have you been coping with the lockdown? And where do you get your hair done or buy hair products? Not much choice for our hair here. That is a huge struggle for me.
Sorry about the heat rash 🙆🏾♀️ It's the North for me!!😍 I actually make my hair myself. I get my hair extensions from bambous. I showed it in my Quatre bornes vlog. I also have some hair videos (I make my hair myself). But getting someone to regularly make my hair would be nice.
Lockdown is actually not bad. Been making the most out of it.
When I'm in the North I'll def hala so you'll give me a tour😊
@@TheodosiaOyiboThank you babe. I will be binge watching your vlogs today. 🤗I would love to show you around when you're in the area. ❤ Take care and keep safe. 🤗🥰❤
I'm more interested in knowing if it's easy to fine job....is average salary enough to survive since life is expensive?
Please I need to relocate to Mauritius am currently living in India please how can I get Mauritius visa?
You looking really cute look forward to visit someday
Hi and were did you buy some africain foods like fufu, egusi you know in with restaurant?
Sunburn is not for your natural skin, please find out more about what you rub on your body. If you rub skin safe lotions, then you would cope well with sunshine as a dark skin lady. Also I love it that they are laid back in fashion, that is actually really nice, it tells a lot about their mindset. I think they are more down to earth and simple. Why would you dress too much if you think the weather is so hot?
Hi. Are you studying or working there? I am Liberian/Chinese Malaysian. I think I could live with the negatives you mentioned. I would just try to go to West African countries now and then to stock up on the food stuff I like. In fact, when I was in Afghanistan, Liberian, Nigerian and Sierra Leonean colleagues always brought food from home and we had a fantastic Africa Day celebration. The heat, well, I have experienced that in Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, Malaysia and Singapore. People escape the heat by going inside the home or office or car or department store where there is a fan or air conditioner. I saw stray dogs and even some horses in other African countries. Wish someone would remove them or help get them adopted in the USA or Europe where they love animals a lot more. Actually, I miss Africa and Mauritius is a place I never visited. I wouldn't mind going to visit and would even like to relocate to an African country as long as it is peaceful (no coups and wars), low crime, stable and clean with good schools and hospitals for my family and me.
Oyinbo I love ur Mauritius video so how can I come to Mauritius from Nigeria
Can I get a degree in french ? Please can you suggest an affordable school for that
Thanks for this. How much does language affect emoloyability & assimilation into the society.
Are the Universities well equipped (worth the cost)?
It affects employability. For assimilation you'll get by. Most of the universities are well equipped
In Mauririus schooling s very good plus the island speaks many languages obviously Creole, French and English as well has Indian languages (hindi) and Chinese.
Mauritians can speak various languages, but an accent in the mother tongue is extremely rare. You will stand out. You might not stand out much if you are not white but once you talk, it becomes very clear. There is no sure way to learn creol
@@Limpass610 my mum spoke to us in Creole all the time I was born in Paris, France and brought up in London, England. Myself and 3 sisters speak and understand creole. Also this has helped me converse with Dominicans, Haitians and those from New Orleans too. Mind you my dad is French so I also speak and understand French fluently. My mum being Mauritian and creole is black African but my dad is white French he understand creole fluently and speaks some too as he's been married to my mum for over 50 years. I am also very close to my Mauritian family so this helps too I suppose.
@@ConsciousEyeandI if the only creol you've heard was from your mum,
Then you would assimilate mad quick.
Learning a language through listening almost brings you to native level.
Wow thanks for this video!!!
Thank you!!!!
I think am scared to come to that place … am
Planning to come there to live and work over there
Update? How has it been?
I agree with you with regards to the stray dogs
They are a menace
Doesn't the local government posses animal control bodies &/or centres in the country? 👀
Dogs {strays} can be a nuisance {particularly} when they begin to rove in "packs" - {like wolves}. That's when you'll begin to hear story/stories of a child or some lonesome adult walking home after dark....being MAULED by a pack. Hence some level of control is necessary - for sure!
Hi Theo,how are nurses paid in Mauritius,can one sustain a family their with a nursing job?
Canada is looking for nurses..
Please my sister how can I get a visit to Mauritius
It's the make-up for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😍😍😍😍 thank you 😋😍😘
Pls am about to migrate with my wife, pls do I have to retreat because of this. The work over there is it ok
I am chuckling at you ranting about living on an island! Sis! This is "island style"! Of course it's hot! It's not a northern region. Of course it's expensive! Everything is imported! Of course housing is expensive! There is a finite amount of land! :D *I lived on Oahu in Hawaii for a few years. Everything is laid back and expensive living on an island. :)
You got that right
So hilarious... Girl, Lagos isn't that hot. The temperature is pretty nice all year😄😁😄
I guess I was exaggerating 😂😂😂
@@TheodosiaOyibo 🤣😂🤣
😄😄😄😄
Hi, nice video but I have a question... How do u change the naira to the Mauritian rupee?
Naira to dollars or any other common denominator. Then from that to rupees.
@@TheodosiaOyibo please do u have or know any app I can use for that
Pls talk more about the language barrier, ave like shear and following u
Am only laughing because you are soooo cute when you rant…🥰
Thank youuuuu 😂😂😂
Please advice that i want move my family from africa to maurtous , as i live in uk and hold britsh passport and my kid and wife are somali and live there, plse let me know cost of housing, food etc. What about gettind permenent and bringing my family and lastly are there any somali community?., thnks ur advice and help.
Hi, I can help.
Mauritius is part of Africa.... my family are Creole no descendents from Indian or Chinese there is a big difference. After slavery was abolished workers were imported from India etc..... People from Mauritius the creoles are descendents from East African slavery, hence our folklore sega dance started like this this is Creole (similar to Haitian etc) not Indian not Chinese etc. Tbh if you want a good time and to see 'Mauritius Mauritius' you need to hang around with CREOLE my family are there, not many of us left but we der! LOL..... but Mauritius enjoys a multi cultural background very much different to the rest of Africa, but I do feel the Creole has been hijacked sadly😥
Well said 👏 👌
Your sega is closer to sti Lanka ...cc
Mauritius
Power is Hindu
Money is white
The creol get the short end of the stick
@333 Half Angel you obviously don't know ZERO about sega please listen to sega tipik this is sega from black Africans and original sega... do your homemake
Is it true that you creoles face a bit of discrimination from the indians?
I want to relocate to Mauritius,i want to know how much house, internet and electricity can be in Mauritius
There are other videos on my channel. Please check it out
thanks sister
Hi dear, do African Countries need Visa to visits Mauritius?
Thank you
It's visa on arrival
@@TheodosiaOyibo for all African countries?
Car are extremely expensive in Mauritius. Even if you have a car fuel is really expensive another thing you didn't mention is low salaries Renting a house you will have to pay ridiculous prices I've been here on student visa after five months I'm leaving before I'm getting really frustrated
Good u moved
I couldn’t agree more
1. The west is very, very hot. You would be better off on the plateau like in Moka, Curepipe, Vacoas. But then it gets very cold in the winter though.
2. Yeah we don't have a soup-based cuisine, we need more African cuisine in the country. Creole cuisine would maybe be to your taste, but it also doesn't have a lot of soup or broths.
3. I understand the language barrier, it's hard to function in English, even though we are supposed to be bilingual, speaking English and French, most people actually only speak Creole fluently.
4. Our night life sucks, but you can try the North but even then it sucks.
5. We don't dress well, i agree. It's better now than it was before, which is saying how bad people used to dress lol.
6. Far too many stray animals, i totally agree with you. No idea why we have so many.
7. Public transportation is pretty bad in Mauritius, and it sucks because they don't work late either so if you're out at night, you're screwed. You need a car.
8. It's very, very expensive. It's close to the same amount in the western world for most things.
Thank you for highlighting these things! My friend had a terrible car accident because of a stray. Car damaged and he has to fix it 💔
Things are not way too expensive
@@TheodosiaOyibo Very sorry to hear that, i have no idea why we can't fix the problem. Even in western countries there are no stray animals, i don't know why in Mauritius people are so pro-animal that even the strays cannot be removed. It's a bizarre situation to be honest.
How do I move from Abuja to Mauritius with work permit
I have a recent video on my channel. Check it out
Being a tropical country it is supposed to be hot.
Otherwise why would we call it tropical island.
True
pls dear can u make students visa to Mauritius
Only schools can make student visas
Yen yen yen. I love Nigeria from the abroad. God when.
God you some years ago o
@@TheodosiaOyibo lmaooooooo ahaan. Why you dey drag me?
That kiss 💋 at the end reached my mouth, so sweet , and soft, pleas do if more often!!! 🥰
Eeeiii thank youuuuu. I will 🫶
Oh that transportation thing is so frustrating. If you don't have a car and you are not patient, Mauritius isn't for you
We will soon buy car o.. what God cannot do does not exist
Pls can I have your WhatsApp number or you IG handle please I want make a processing of coming down to mauritius but I want a full details about the country b4 coming down there, I'll be very glad if u can help me
Light?
Hi dear pls are there African hair salons for women in Mauritius?
No hun but there are none but there are a few individuals that make African hair
Oh ok dear, will def be reaching out for contacts of such individuals soon when I relocate there, thanks much for the response, really appreciate 🙏👍
You can check out the hair salon named "Natural Hair Culture" in curepipe
but usually you'll have individuals and as an advice when you find someone make sure they are creole people(black people with natural hair) they will know how to take care of your hair!! because myself as a creole girl with natural hair in Mauritius i can tell you not many people know how to take care of your hair properly, they'll ruin it even tho i might be going to some very expensive salon with good reviews. So yep that's a little advice i can give you.
Thank youuuuuuu
You’re not allowed to bring in food from Nigeria?
Can only bring certain food items
And the cost of this is really expensive. More expensive than shipping to the US or Canada
Thanks
Let the animals breathe abeg. I remember when we had cat attack at my place in Vacoas. Got home and saw my house mate chasing cats😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 i will just be shooting holy ghost fire
Why are you in Mauritius anyway??
Is Mauritius really develop

Hello sis , I recently gained admission into a Mauritius university and everyone keeps saying to buy a return ticket but I’m not sure if it’s necessary because I’ll be there for a long time so it’s impossible to buy a return ticket in advance into the future like 2 or 3 years right ?? . Did you buy a return ticket or one way I’ll really love your help.
Its necessary to buy the ticket. For your visa purposes. You can always cancel the ticket
@@TheodosiaOyibo Oh thanks so I guess the return ticket should be in the space of 14 days right ?? …

Hello dear I really love your videos and I really need your help am looking for a nursing college university or polytechnic if you can help me please
You should check out polytechnic of mauritius
@@TheodosiaOyibo thank you so much it was helpful
You're welcome darling
Aunty complain o. That's the joy of it o. Surprised you didn't talk about the racism. Wow.
Sah?
@@TheodosiaOyibo ...
Mauritius people are very friendly
you want night life you go to the north xD
and yes, we are laid back in our dressing and I don't like it when people try to change that :P
stray animals: a real problem here! specially now that we no longer have the right to capture & kill them.
the transportation problem is difficult to solve because we have too few people AND cost of ownership of vehicles is HIGH! So good luck with that one!
same for expensive things in mauritius. too few people, we can't buy the same kind of bulk that larger countries can... ALSO, we import almost 100% of our stuff! So good luck with that!
for the housing part - LOL. If you go to the touristic spots of the north or the west, of course it's going to be expensive! the main demographic for renting out there is to europeans! come to the centre or the east and you'll get cheaper prices. Cost of life in non touristic villages is much more affordable than in places like Flic en Flac, Tamarin, Grand Baie etc...
Love how you broke it down!!!!
Hello ma, I book Mauritius ticket but unfortunately I couldn’t make it, I was told I can’t board, but my ticket is still valid(I can reschedule a date ) I need advice on how to enter Mauritius...I was told at the Nigerian airport that it’s either by tour or honeymoon package

Does it mean one can’t enter with student visa?
Why won't you enter with student visa? Aren't there school here?
