Live in a foreign land as a foreigner. Do what foreigners are meant to do by studying to excel, working legally, paying your tax, all bills, and avoiding crimes of all kinds.
This is the first time to do so. Then, follow the rules of the country, don't trespass, don't associate with any gang. You're a foreigner, that's not what you're here for. If the owners are in gangs, it's not for you. Don't join, don't fight. You've no business with teenagers as a man. Don't be sick in the head. You can't even do that in your country, why do it in a foreign land. If possible, avoid women's issues in general.
Have nothing against you. If you face racism, endure it. You've seen shege in the past in your country. This is small! Don't retaliate, just walk away! You're bigger than that.
Keep your eyes to the goal - work and save. If you get settled, still live as a settled foreigners. You'll never become or fully recognised as a native. Get this in your head.
As you dey buy house in a foreign land, they buy land in your home. You need something to fall back to incase. Nobody should even remind you of this.
If at the end, everyone is to go back, liquidify and go back with your heads up! You won.
Zero shame!
