Calm down. He's human being like you. And besides you really think he's comfortable with such life? Be grateful for your situation.

If he wasn't comfortable under that bridge, he wouldn't still be there 30 years later. Give me a break with this lame defence. He is very happy under that bridge.

Ponzi scheme. Unless you're betting on the stock market, no one is making 100% guaranteed profit on any investment.

Good to hear

I mean they put such barriers for Nigerian citizens because of the state of the Country and the very high likelihood of Nigerians overstaying their Visas as continues to happen even with the barriers. They know the country is a giant shit hole and its Citizens are desperate to escape for functional 21st Century societies. Even the bankers and M.Ds in Nigeria will give it all up to be Citizens of First world Countries. It makes perfect sense.

Typical low self-esteem moro.n typing rubbish from his anus.

I wonder why you expect ''most Nigerians'' to be able to speak ''proper fluent English'' when English is an imported colonial language that has nothing to do with them, and SHOULDN'T have anything to do with them?

Does it occur to your thick, self-hating skull that the average Canadian, English, American person is not burdened with the obligation to master an entirely different language from the one they were born into, in order to qualify as worthy?

And then you have the audacity to sniff and sneer at those Nigerians who for some reason or the other did not master your slave master's language?

Your comments dripping with contempt for them?

How dare you?

And the literacy figures for Nigeria are over 70%, compared to 5% at independence, courtesy of colonial looting, which is not bad for a developing nation of 220 million people.

So you are a liar to say ''most Nigerian are illiterates'', you pampered know-nothing.

You are wrong to say even ''the ones who make it through school are poorly educated''.

As someone who schooled in Nigeria, UK, and US, I can tell you for free that ANY Nigerian student who ed NIGERIAN GCSE's, or achieved a NIGERIAN degree, is always NEAR THE TOP OF THE CLASS in western educational institutions.

That includes Nigerians who attended VILLAGE SCHOOLS in Nigeria.

Rubbish.

Just take your Uncle Tom self and get the fck out of this place.

All this venom because Oyinbo rejected you and sent you packing back home?

I did a quick google search and it said Nigeria's literacy rate is 62%. Not good at all.

So you expect me to believe that our educational standards are higher than those of first world countries?? Is that why we don't innovate anything and we need foreign nationals to come extract and process our oil? We don't even print our own currency. Haven't figured out how to generate enough electricity to power the Country in over 60 years of independence now.

That colonial language is the number one language spoken in the world today. It's the defacto international language. So be mad about it all you want. Mr colonial victim.

grandstar:


No vex my brother.

I thought you were one of those guys who just tear down other Nigerians freely without justification.

I understand what you're saying. Your fear are the type of Nigerian migrants that head to Italy.

Let's be honest, for many countries, it is usually their best and brightest that enter. That's why Indians are the richest demography in the US today. If it was the average Indian and not those tech sorts, there'd be another story.

However, Latin America seems to send mostly their lowest- the type of Nigerians heading to Italy, Central America is the most guilty

Sorry for my harsh response jare. Just misunderstanding on both our path. I wish our fatherland was much better than it is. But our reality is unfortunate. We gotta do what's best for us individually i guess.

Also, yes South Americans send their most mediocre to worst because they enter illegally. If Nigeria was on the American continent we would all be trekking to the U.S land borders too lol.

grandstar:


Please do not write on something you know little about.

Nigerians make better immigrants than some of the countries listed here.

Argentines speak Spanish. Thai speak Thai. Moroccans are French speaking (they will feel at home in Quebec). Canadians would prefer English speakers any day.

Nigerian migrants have more to offer than these guys. Nigerians are the most educated group in the United States.

Nigerians are included in the 10 most successful migrant groups in America.

What makes you think that qualification to assimilate into a first world modern society starts and ends with the ability to speak English? Also for all those countries you listed, English might not be a first language but most of their population have been been able to pick it up as a second language. Most Nigerians can't even speak proper fluent English without resorting to pigeon to supplement their poor grammar. Most Nigerians are illiterate, and the ones that made it to through school are still poorly educated.

My comment was never about barring all Nigerians from Immigrating. My comment was making travel "visa Free" for all Nigerians which would lead to a massive influx of low quality Immigrants with poor education and inability to properly assimilate to the local culture here. It's usually the most privileged and well educated Nigerians that make it to North America so it's no surprise that most succeed. We are a Nation with the highest rate of poverty for a reason. No first world nation will ever make travel visa free for such.

HacheNoire:
They won’t try it!

Nigeria will become empty!

But on the other hand, if Canada wants to fill up that land mass and generate massive revenue, it’s something they should be thinking about.

Nigerians are not lazy, they will work and pay taxes and still get cheap labour to boost their production.

It's not about "working hard" like a thoughtless camel. Canada doesn't want Nigeria's culture imported en masse. Culture and suitability matters. Educational level matters. The quality, not just quantity of people, matters. Nigeria has very low quality and high quantity of people, which is why the Country is both low quality and substandard. Ask your fellow African Countries to let you in, instead of trying to invade Oyinbo's Country, 2 continents away from you.

chrisoo:


Thanks. I have sent enquiries. I noticed that most of the home owners are Asians and they do not want to share units with Nigerians...Although I am temporarily staying in home owned by Indians. They have dominated everywhere.

Very true. Even i myself have an Asian as a landlord but he's been really considerate. Indians are slumlords. They'll either give you a small crappy, dirty barebones accommodation or they'll offer you same living quarters as their family and it'll be stifling for you. E no easy.

Try Kijiji.ca Sort the real estate section by short term accomodations and you should find some good results.

chrisoo:
Hello Guys,

I landed Toronto 2 days ago and am currently staying in an Airbnb around Milton, until April 30, 2023. This is not cheap. Please does anybody have information on very cheap accommodation in Downtown Toronto (arround Toronto School of Management ...22 College Street) where my college is located. Budget is below $800 and I dont mind a shared accommodation from May 1., 2023.
Please any information will be highly appreciated. I don search tire. Its like all the homeowners want guarantors/4-6 months upfront...etc

Thank you
Chrisoo

The aim is to rewrite you and your generation history by starting a family(present and future) in a country where things work. Being a citizen that can be allowed to travel and interact with various developed nations without scrutinized visa application processes as a free being.
It's bigger than having wads of cash and investment in a declining country but shallow minds don't understand.

Shallow, poverty induced mindsets. Full of envy and bad wishes.

Laykay01:
I studied Industrial Mathematics. When I checked the NOC for job description of a Mathematician/Statistician, it was different from the previous experiences I had. Pls, how can I bridge this and make my experience and their job description fit.

You can still lie and have the company sign off on it. How much is a new life in Canada worth to you?

MyVc:


Please, how job demanding is Software Engineering in Canada?




That's if one migrates to Canada; can the person easily get a job as a Software Engineer?




Thanks

Your "beliefs" about Karma and all that other nonsense you wrote up is not based in reality. It is based on your fantasies. Maybe you are stuck in Nigeria and have no avenue to escape to in order to compensate you think up fantastical and illogical reasons why it's best to remain rooted in Nigeria anyway.

This is the one life you have. You die and you are done. Anything else about after life or pre-life is all fantasy and products of people's imagination.

I guess the United States of America should never have prospered then because it was the Brits who immigrated there to set up a colony and you know how many Natives were slaughtered in order for them to get their way? And then what about the Slavery of Africans that went on there for well over a century. Why hasn't Karma caught up to them yet? Why have they gone on to become the most advanced and prosperous nation on earth?

Stop with all your fantasy and face reality. Your coping mechanism for the reality you find yourself in is not going to move anyone. You are alone in your musings.

People are only madder about Canada right now because it is simply far far easier to immigrate there. It's not because they believe Canada to be superior. I think that's the message that Lagbaja88 was trying to get across originally before he descended to unnecessary pettiness.

Even I would love to move to the U.S after getting Canadian Pali. The U.S is objectively superior to Canada in almost every way except maybe Crime Stats.

She is taking on the Woke Liberal victim ideology.

You are not a victim in Canada. Your own Country victimized and terrorized you and that's why you ran away to Canada. I would risk death before I ever returned to Nigeria to live (which is never). Commenters here are right, with everything you faced in Nigeria and that people you left behind continue to face, you have little right to post videos online complaining about "Canadian racists" (online trolls). It's the internet, those people are probably not even in Canada.

I'll say it again. You are not a victim. It's the populace living under the Nigerian Government that are the real victims.

You should make a video about the real victims of black on black hate in Nigeria. Tribal hate.

mrphysics:
Of course we understand people's view when they fail to issue SLO for nuclear facilities. They are afraid of the risk involved. But then, we know that our risk perception differ and there's no absolute definition of risk.

Like I earlier said, people's decision is often not rational. They choose their risk and reject others. Thus, it is in order to say that risk is a human defined concept. Let us see how people take accept risks and reject others. They transfer this irrational decision or perception of risk on nuclear facilities even though the existence of nuclear facilities does not pose much risk compared to other risks that have been accepted by same people in time past.

1. Chronic smokers accept the risk of smoking but feel greatly at risk when they are close to a nuclear power plant even though the risks may be the same or equivalent
2. People feel comfortable when they make calls while driving , but perceive as very risky when they are in a car driven by a driver making calls while driving.
3. Risky behaviors such as unsafe sex, drugs, etc involving pleasures are widely accepted but same can not be extended to Nuclear projects.

And the list continues.

This is obviously because people would rather be in control of these inherent risks to their lives rather than have others wield that risk over them. It's a simple thing about being in control. People hate to feel like they are not in control of what gets to happen to them, especially when we are talking about life and death.

Hedonisco:


Such infamy is better than the inconsequence and nothingness that would be the fate of most people, if you ask me.

He is becoming a legendary phenomenon.

You have the wrong priorities in life. If you truly believe that losing his freedom and future at his tender age (20s) is worth the "infamy" he would gain by being a known criminal that only other wretched minded (potential) cirminals look up to then i could only feel a bit sorry for you. Follow his foot steps if you will and lets see how much you thrive.

1millionBoys:

So you spend the money in naira? That's assuming you make that much.

Sounds like a scammer

Believe what you wish.

Kekereekun123:
tell us na lol. Food?

Lol yea, couldn't be more obvious.

GreenKalada:


Guy stop talking shit!! And factor that your chicken amount to the cost of living in Canada (which is expensive). Yes! That money u make is big compared to the standard of living in Nigeria but shit in Canada!!!

lmao i dont even know what to say to this lool. No point trying to rebut people like you. Believe whatever helps you keep sane in Naij.

codeigniter:

Sorry if I sounded rude, it just seem unrealistic. But u can work gigs here in nigeria

Lmao of course you have gigs in Naij. You also have bricklayers, and plumbers. Are they smelling the kind of money bricklayers and plumbers are making here? You can't compare the economy here to there which is why i say you can't fathom the difference. Ordinary gig worker here is making more than your local M.D. It's insane. No comparison.

Kekereekun123:
weed, tissue paper, food and alcohol

Only one of those people will die without.

themaestro08:
Oga four month absence?... Kilode?

Hope you are good man.

segzyndpep:


Enlighten me about the job,maybe its something i can do too when i you in canada..

I'm not gonna tell you anything direct, but ask yourself this, what will people still be in need of in perilous times like this when they are on lockdown from Corona Virus and are afraid to go out to get it themselves? Then you'll have a good idea what kind of contractor business i got into to make bank .

codeigniter:

Why are u lying 4,400 dollars a month for an emigrant, I think this guy want to sell u something, scam alert

lol was waiting for someone to call me a liar and a fraud. When you are working the gig economy, the opportunities can be limitless. It's now about how long, hard and smart you are willing to work to make what ou want. You can't imagine it because you are trapped over there in Naija. I feel for you. I get paid every week, no dulling.

Lol i left for Canada last December. My salary at my suit and tie job back in Naij ( i won't call it home) was just under N200k per month.

I just calculated the income i received this month after taxes. Your boy netted N1,700,000 (6,200 CAD). I'm not even doing a professional job. I don't have a boss. I sleep and wake up when i want. I go to work when i want. I can take a month off ( not any time soon tho ) and return and still continue making money.

One caveat tho is that i worked every single day to make this. Day and Night. But i enjoy the job so it's nothing to me. Plus making good money is so addicting. I don't anticipate i'll clear this much after tax going forward but i can still net over 1 mill a month if i choose to.

The West is truly the land of opportunity. Dream come true.

Welcome to 2020

Lool the rantings of a loser who can't afford to get out so he lashes out at those who can.

You seem quite clueless to the fact that there's no fixing Nigeria. Opening this little business or that little business is not going to fix anything.

Paying your taxes is not going to fix anything.

Nigeria is a rotten society with a rotten culture.

The minds of the people are degenerate and corrupt to the very core at every level of the society.

If you want anything resembling a modern civilized life before you die, you will never find it in Nigeria or anywhere in Africa for that matter.

That whole continent is f*cked up. So shut up and enjoy it by yourself if you can't manage to get out.

Nobody owes your misery any company.

God had nothing to do with this. You superstitious people. An unfortunate incident that happened by chance with contributing factors such as poor road infrastructure, poor driving and/or other poor road s. Accidents happen every day and people die due to these accidents everyday. It's the reality of the world and the reality of life. Nothing to do with some magical being.
