http://metronewsng.blogspot.co.at/2016/12/my-romance-with-switzerland-diary-of.html?m=1No doubt the average Nigerian is no lover of Switzerland, despite their no intention to offend us, our leaders both military and politicians have always find this very beautiful and calm enclave a very safe place to hide treasures that were stolen from our public vault.
We read reports of several millions in foreign currency stolen from Nigeria and kept in banks in Switzerland! We hear of various banks that won't disclose the names of their rich clients, even almighty United States couldn't get them to release those funds.
Well, 4 days ago, we found ourselves in Zurich via Frankfurt for a 2 day visit. Our host as expected OPU Switzerland were on ground to welcome us to the country I love to now call "humble but deep in wealth" .The Zurich train station where the Ice Train dropped us is very neat, calm and organized.
Filled with curiosity, our hosts Akeem Salaam and Tola told us that modesty is the way of Switzerland, they love to keep things simple but inside of them lies mega structures or materials and wealth. It's the heart of Europe as it is boardered by 5 major EU countries including Germany, Italy, Austria, France among others, they boast that no homelessness in Switzerland, as the government ensures everybody is sheltered,same for feeding.
Their companies boast of best mechanism and Technology,in the field of Medicine, wares,and domestic materials, yet they are not load about it, we hear it is deliberate, as a matter of policy, Switzerland is home to peacekeepers, and they ensure that they are not at war with anybody.Their street and road surveillance is legendary and they even serve as security cover to high class net worth clients that can afford their services.
Don't forget that Genneva is also in Switzerland, the world Headquater of prominent agencies like Red Cross,United Nations are located there. You can call it the capital of world philanthropy.
A visit to the Nigeria Embassy in Bern, where we were warmly received by top Embassy officials. we were told that Switzerland is very peaceful with no record of a Yoruba man in prison and they behave themselves there, the road network is very smooth and connectivity Is easy.
During our stay, I didn't notice any form of racist look or comment and they were also very friendly, but I need to warn you incase u want to visit Switzerland, its about the most expensive area in Europe. It is also easy to make it big there if you venture into any legitimate business.
What I love most about the Switz environment is it's blend of ancient and modern structures. The suburb in Switzerland is the typical Europe village which the cities can stand tall with any modern day environment.
We visited the Parliament House in Bern, a beautiful structure that is breathtaking.
Our host, OPU Switzerland lodged us at a Swisshotel a 5star wonderful whose ambiance is very welcoming and warm. Let me add that one sure income earner for Switzerland is their effective train system, II is noticeable in the whole of Europe, even the city transit Is boosted by tramp buses moving large numbers of people and lowering traffic congestion.
