NuCypher:

If you mention name, on any anonymous forum that's almost exclusively Nigerian, who will cancel you?

Don’t mind them, na TD bank dem dey talk lol.

RodgersAkpafu:


All your assumptions are WRONG
That's the problem you ppl have
You think expressing reservations have to do with personal interest

Migration to Canada based on my personal circumstances won't be so difficult for me IF I CHOOSE TO.
The UK has been so good to me these years I've been here

Everything I say here is for two reasons

1. To call BS out AND
2. To warn gullible and impressionable newcomers from my country going to Canada *or the UK, my side of the fence)

That's it


You say I am "picking fights"
Picking fights with who ?
Most definitely not my fellow nigerians (cos I love yall) and most definitely with no "pajeet" either

All I do is to warn ppl of how SOME of these fellows can be....
It's left for you to accept

Or continue living in dreamland and "being in solidarity " with people who hate your guts.

It's up to you

Please disregard any negative comments. The majority of individuals, particularly Nigerians in Canada, often face significant challenges, as many are on low wages and struggle to make ends meet. However, having come from societies where they experienced oppression, they tend to view their new life in Canada as a great improvement, even if it still comes with its own difficulties. For many, the contrast to their previous circumstances leads them to perceive even modest progress as a valuable opportunity, despite facing racism, health challenges, and a lower quality of life in Canada, as they have already come to view suffering as a way of life

- There are no assumptions here. I have attached proof that your antagonism and racial slurs against a whole people/nation is borne out of scorn due to being unable to 'get in'. By the way, your hope is to remove hatred and scorn from your mind.

- The problem with people like you is that they think life is all about dichotomous outcomes. Because I refuse to frolic in the mud with you and call people derogatory names, it means I am shilling on behalf of those people. It pays to stop seeing things in black or white only.

- Where is your proof that majority of Nigerian - Canadians often face significant challenges? Share the data please.

- I thought it is implicit in migration that most people are fleeing one form of challenge or the other. So should we begrudge people of the thought that their life in Canada is a step-up on their previous life? It is their life, their thought.... Life will always have its challenges, being 6ft under presents none.

- Next time, try and engage in creative gestation and be original. Using AI to generate content in of discrimination is unbecoming. The people who came up with AI were busy working to provide solutions to people's problems not engrossed with bias.

I dnt need ur baseless lectures becos you cannot shame fact, the trust with ur AI assumption and maybe next time do that correction to ur family at home not me . if l may ask you how many nigerian earn above 85k per year in canada let start from that calculation or how many newcomers are emoloyed in their professional field.

This guy is very stupid
I was fiddling with the idea
Don't you know what "fiddling" means ?

My circumstances can still make me enter Canada IF I WANT TO, and the pathways to do it is also in the quoted post that u stoppidly posted.

In case you don't know, my occupation qualifies me for two to three PNPs AND if I want to fully push for this Canada thing, I actually have a good shot

Again, you are wrong with your assertions and projecting your low self esteem in the form of "Captain save a "jeet" " cacophony that you are exhibiting over here

How will I "hate people" as the reason why I can't "get in" when they are not the ones making the law or are immigration officers?
The pathway the vast majority of them used is via backyard diploma/colleges, something I can alternatively do (but I ain't foolish so I won't do it)

So again, why would I "hate them " as the reason why I can't "get in"
When the same road that they used to "get in" is still open
Mr/Miss/Mrs Ferfer
Again, you are not a very bright person

The experiences I have listed as the basis for my apprehension towards elements from that community was primarily first hand experiences in the UK....

Oww
I'm jealous of them as well, because they didn't let me "get in" ?
The same country that me and them live in
Lmaooo

Do you see how silly u sound?

Some Nigerians can be really really funny lmaooo

Again , for the umpteenth time
Dear Newbies moving to US/UK/Canada

Deal with that community with two eyes open and not a sheepish / dovish mentality
Not all are like that
But the sample size of those who are are significant enough to cause u problems IF you get to deal with them

Again, you don't have to take my word for it, or the experiences others have shared, sometimes experience IS THE BEST TEACHER, as Again, some of our fellow Nigerians have shared in the last 20 pages of this thread

Dear Compatriots
It's up to you 💯

I'll add that I understand a few people who onish that we should have an open mind and deal with ppl at face value
In an ideal world, that sounds all fun and cute, but we don't live in an ideal world, and it is better to err on the side of caution when it comes to real life situations

I live in Europe, had an Indian landlord, despite not destroying his apartment, he sat on our 8k worth CAD and added extra to fix his apartment that he claimed we messed up. We took him to housing court, he brought an edited bad apartment images, thankfully we made a video after vacating the apartment with the time and date. Most are good from distance but transacting business with them is a NO for me. Know this and know peace please.

Imagine this smh

But then,
Pardon me asking
Was the money held in EUR or CAD
because u said 8k CAD worth of deposit
That said, sometimes lessons are best learnt by first hand experience, afterall we are all adults

Euro.

i don't know the real bases for argument but please stop attacking people for use AI to aid their writing ,some people have Dyslexia and Dyslexia is regarded as a neurological condition that is genetic in origin but most are intelligent people but have difficult in writing and the coming of AI is helping people with disability like dyslexia so be sensitive with your comment and it not a crime to use AI ,i see it mostly Africans that tender to claim superiority of knowledge often see fault in the use of AI. and one person is already facing some issue at work based on comment like urs. let be careful please

People get time o.

How you go dy use AI to check person comments

Hello Community,

Please, is there anyone here that has a robust knowledge of how the TRUCKING BUSINESS in Canada is like..?? I am thinking of taking a chance on entrepreneurship here, though I am working a great job here in Canada.. I want an early exit from corporate Canada and would want to own a business.

you can’t compete with the Indians o 😩. They have achieved economics of scale in the business. (Access to cheap staff from their communities, access to contracts, access to cheap mechanics in their communities) etc

Unless you want to drive the truck yourself as an owner operator.

RodgersAkpafu:


It's actually interesting

What is actually interesting? Are you saying that all those who have shared their experience with them are wrong?

Are you trying to say you have not experienced that with them?

I have seen many people who'd say they'd never do anything with Igbos. Even Chinua Achebe said they can be quite haughty, proud and thoughtless (what others might call lack of emotional intelligence).


How are they not the problem with Nigeria?

We are now going to drag ourselves? Na Philippines ppl go next after this..lol.

ferfer:


Some POVs. ....

2) The hot mic comments (I do not even believe it was a true hot mic. JT is no clown but he's crafty - he and Macron are the only leader of a G7 nation that survived COVID. These embers are dying but they can burn) by Trudeau yesterday means the orange-haired one's motive matches his comments. But his action is having the opposite effect, Canadians are not rolling out the red carpet to welcome 'America'. Now Canadians are unified (?) against his 51st state comments.

Interesting times.... Trump is certainly not helping the fortunes of the conservatives in Canada. Time would tell how this translates to votes especially if Trump keeps pushing

Alright
Now that you are on the topic
Let's "go there"

First of all, I am an Igbo person, but that will not demagnetise my objectivity on the subject matter

I don't personally feel offended when people say some Igbos sell fake products for example, because the truth is that indeed, SOME IGBO PEOPLE SELL FAKE PRODUCTS
Anyone who is more careful in buying certain products from some igbo stores because of what some of my people have done is very much justified

That's one
When ppl say some igbos can be haughty, that's true because indeed, some igbos ARE HAUGHTY

But what is very stupid is saying igbo people set Nigeria back because they "killed" ethnic (btw useless) leaders in the 1966 coup
That action was a black Swan event, and people acting out of their own volition
It's common sense
Igbo people did not send them to go commit those crimes

So again, erring on the side of caution IS ALLOWED
That evolutionary trait has stuck with us, and that's the reason why we are all still alive today and not extinct

Going back to the Indians, and "pajeets" in their midst
Using Chris Rocks like with reference to black folks

"I like black people,; but I hate neeegggas"

I'll steal that one and say
I like Indian people (that are sensible) but HATE pajeets (hate is a strong word, lemme modify, I'll rather NOT deal with them)
It was a fuuuxking "pajeet" who screamed at soneone to "go back to morroco" in the train just last week
it was a pajeet I almost beat up in Manchester four weeks ago for running his damn mouth

But it is respectable Indian people who taught me at uni for my degrees et al.

So u wanted to hear my mind ?
That's it up there

P.S.
If you noticed
I didn't call you names when you raised your point about igbos like how CsRockerfeller did...
Because unlike him, I can understand why some people may have certain viewpoints about certain people, even igbo people

Personally i have NEVER met a good Somalian in my life, doesn't mean they are not out there, but my experiences with them repeatedly have formed my worldview of, and how to engage / deal with them

It's like a yoruba person getting offended when people say SOME yoruba people can be filthy, lazy and spendthrift, or a northerner offended when people say that the north is the terrorist producers in nigeria.
Or a white person offended that someone says some white people are racist

Doesn't mean ALL are like that
But the truth is..
Some are like that

You will be very silly not to take note and take care when dealing with certain situations because the world is not a kind place

What is NOT RIGHT is just saying that by default, EVERYONE in that ethnic group is like that

I have dated yoruba women who were not dirty
Most of our service men who fought (and some died, RIP Col. Ali) terrorist up north are northerners

And those at the forefront of fighting racism in the west are also white folks

Owning a business is one of the easier paths to financial independence as there are many perks to it. My only issue is that is sounds like you're looking to own a business in a sector you don't know much about. There's always a first step though. I'd say the initial step should be gaining more practical knowledge in that sector- that way, you know where the need is and how to run it efficiently
Alternatively, you could look at a business not far removed from what you are currently doing- that way, you already the knowledge advantage.

He can always start from somewhere just as others with a good network effect.
There is virtually no profitable business sector that does not have entrenched interests. In the corporate world, it may even be worse as many of these interests have become institutionalised.

The question is simple - are Igbos i.e nyamuri's not the problem with Nigeria?
Millions of them have been killed over decades because some feel they refused to learn, yet they keep coming back. Do more need to die?
How does Nigeria deal with the 'Igbo problem'?


I see the bolded- classic. Its quite clear where your stock comes from.
How about- 'though some are decent, the average black people is not more than a monkey however I am not racist because I have black friends'

You are a very funny man
Mr. defend Indians now want to appear as Mr Tribalistic fellow (key word. appear)
The same man who went on a rant cos I call bad faith indians pajeet had no problem calling igbos nyamuiri lmaoo
It's alright
What I posted is simple English and it is easy to understand.

Some white folks are racist
Some Indians are Pajeets
Some igbos are fake product dealers, haughty and are in a hurry to make money
Some Yorubas are dirty (yes I said it); less ambitious and outsource a lot of things to the supernatural
Some Northerners are extremists and terrorist groups (sympathise with them)

thats the undiluted truth
We can make the argument and say the entire group is not like that (that answers the question you asked me about igbo ppl)
And labelling an entire group as by default like that is not the best
All valid arguments

But hey, it does not invalidate the fact that SOME people are like that in these groups, and dealing with those groups with some caution based on different inferences is not out of place

Lemme give u an assignment
If you are familiar with Brum, waka anyhow past 10:30 pm in certain areas
Shebi it is not good to label all people Some kind of way
Let's try maybe B23
Let's see how that goes

Your question:
How about- 'though some are decent, the average black people is not more than a monkey however I am not racist because I have black friends'

Answer: The crime statistic shows that black people are more predisposed to certain crimes, does not mean every black man is a criminal, but exercise caution when u are in certain areas, esp deprived, that they are in the minority
(refer to the assignment I gave you to do in Brum)
The only obviously silly thing in the post is calling black people "monkeys"

And I'll say it to your face
You seem to be prejudiced/tribalistic towards igbos, (because of the repeated reference and the tone in the messaging), but it is fine, its your fundamental human right, nobody will beat you lol

Come tell us your experience after that the next day, or the day after

Peace ✌️

lanresz:
It is very difficult to get such jobs. The process involved is very long. I employed someone in 2021 under the old pilot program, the work permit was only approved in 2024. By the time she arrived with family in Canada, I no longer need the service. Good thing it is an open work permit and she got a job with someone else. The documents involved in processing the work permit is very extensive. Some of the information needed from the employer may prevent them from employing a stranger.

Please can a single person living alone employ me as a caregiver in canada.l have a friend in canada as PR HOLDER.Can he employ me as caregiver under this caregiver pr route?
