As the topic says. I would be giving you 10 reasons why Nigeria is better than Canada. I think I have enough experience to talk about this topic because I’ve lived in both countries.
N.B: all what I’m going to be talking about is going to be from my personal experience.

1. Schools are generally cheaper in Nigeria unlike Canada. : in Nigeria schooling is highly subsidised unlike Canada where we pay thousands of Canadian dollars per semester. As an international student in Canada you are most likely to pay 15k while local students are to pay 3k and most are financed by student loans which they have to pay back over the years
2. Electricity is cheaper in Nigeria than in Canada: in Nigeria we buy electricity for 44 naira per kilo watts while in Canada you know how expensive it is and we would still pay tax again. In Canada I use 80CAD for electricity a month and I’d pay extra 13% on it

3. Healthcare is cheaper in Nigeria than in Canada : I know many people would be saying it’s free in Canada; no it’s not true because we all have health insurance which we pay for. Unlike in Nigeria where the government has totally subsidised it. We still pay out of our own money in case you do not know

4. You can never feel lonely in Nigeria unlike Canada: Nigeria is fun to be in because it’s the culture we grew up with. When you come over to Canada, it would not be easy to get used to their culture as it might seem strange to you

5. The weather in Nigeria is better than that of Canada: Nigeria has very good weather unlike that of Canada which could be extremely cold as Bleep.

6. The price of petrol in Nigeria is cheaper than in Canada: in Nigeria you can use 5000 naira fuel in a week, but in Canada you can use 100 CAD worth of fuel in a week

7. Getting African food is cheaper in Nigeria than Canada: you don’t need a prophet to tell you about this. It easier to get your traditional food in Nigeria than Canada. You can buy garri for like 12CAD.

8. Accommodation is far cheaper in Nigeria unlike Canada: in Nigeria you can see a good accommodation of 3bed room for 500k per year; while in Canada you’d see a one bedroom for 800CAD / month

9. Data is cheap in Nigeria unlike Canada: in Nigeria you can get a gig for like 500 naira, while in Canada I spend close to 45CAD monthly to call and use the internet

10. Finally, it is easier to bargain in Nigeria than Canada. In Canada the prices are fixed, but Nigeria we can still beat the price down.

Great insight most people wont like to hear.

To be honest, I do not feel like relocating out of Nigeria. I don’t know the fuss Nigerians have with Canada sha

Canada or burst

.

If you never travel, you will think abroad is easy, life is not easy anywhere.

When I was residing in UAE, I was paying 150k a month for just one room, just imagine how much I spend in a year, nothing is free anywhere.

I swear what the nigga wrote just dey vex me.
Canada minimum monthly wage is $2900 that's about 1.4million.
They want to earn such an amount, but they don't want to spend up to #100,000 monthly

1. You also forget to compare Nigeria minimum wage with Canada minimum wage.

2. You also forget to mention salary paid per hour in Canada, and total package per month.

3. You also forget to compare unemployment rate in Nigeria, guys are ready to work but there's no work in Nigeria.

4. You also forget to mention insecurity in Nigeria, more than twenty number of arms robbers came to our area yesterday night operate freely.

5. Imagine a student in Canada that's building five bedroom duplex in Nigeria.

6. Them plenty....

If I no japa wetin I gain.

Oh really...I have lived in Canada for almost 6 years..i don't regret escaping that useless Nigeria. You have no idea of what you saying.

Canada is not heaven..not even close but it is far better than the hell called Nigeria 1000 times

After taxes you're guaranteed free education up to the University level. You can even have 100 kids. Their school fees would be paid. Good healthcare for no cost. Good roads. Etc. If you pay all that out of your pockets you'd have less money available to take home.

It is well

I am not saying Nigeria is totally better than Canada now.

I mean if you’re doing well in Nigeria, there’s no need to relocate to Canada if not you’re most likely to regret it

Because no matter how much money you have, nonsense like this can always happen. How does 400, not four, but 400 students go missing? What a joke of a country. Everything is not about money.

How does that help to put things in perspective if you won't mention how much you earn.
