Fair enough. I understand this as a reason then.



Depending on your personal arrangement, inherit it or a part. BTW, do people still build gigantic houses these days considering the few number of children, and with the children leaving home after university?

Context here would be great to look at what is happening.

Idgaf about patriotism. I know I live in a privileged country, I didn't get to choose where I was born, just like you. I'm very thankful to be in this country, but kid you not, I've lived in other countries and been to many poverty riddled countries. I'm helping friends in Ng to immigrate for work, but this issue is Asylum seekers, not going through the immigration avenues. Different altogether.

Have to look at the facts here... there is an absurd number of people seeking Asylum in Canada and they were just not ready for the numbers. Government is moving to solve it as quickly as possible. Already busses have come to move people to other shelters where there is more room. Naturally most Asylum seekers are looking at Toronto and surrounding as yes, it's pushed as the place with so much opportunity... and this is true for most. The Canadian job market is begging for skilled workers... we're extremely short... so come with the right skill sets, yes, you will find a good job at a good rate of pay, but come and look for a job at a coffee shop... well... different story.

if your useless country was good, Nigerianns won't find abode in another man's land. Your useless leaders has eaten up the future of unborn kids already

BabaRamota1980:
In terms of resourcefullness, manpower and skills, Nigeria is ahead of Canada, man to man. Canada should be on the bottom list of countries Nigerians should go. Infact, until 15 or 20yrs ago Nigerians would turn down offer to migrate to Canada. So what changed, and now every fool wants to go to Canada? The influence of human traffickers/salesmen and Churches. These two factors have contributed massively to this point that Canada has earned high profile as a destination country.

The reality of harsh conditions in Canada is hidden. Blackman loves things that glitter. So when they see pictures of buildings and streets in their glittering lights, polished and gleaming they are instantly enamored, and begin to imagine themselves walking on that street, living in those homes and occupying a office desk in those skycrapers. So when a trafficker approaches with an offer to help with visa it is a easy sell.

Reality happen when they are taken from airport to a refugee tent like this one.

Those who are lucky to get work visa are no better. They must pay rent, pay for electricity, pay for heating, pay for water, pay parking, pay trash collection. Goes to store to purchase food and must pay tax on top. Pay tax on income, pay toll tax, pay car registration tax, inspection tax...and upon all this lives in a neighborhood opposite of the glamor and glitter of Canada in pictures. He works in the skyscraper buildings but in security uniform.

Canada is a very big country, almost half the size of Africa, if not more. Yet, they have less than five metropolitan cities. Vancouver, Ontario, Quebec, Toronto. Thats it! It is wrong to say Canada is cold. Canada is frigid! Six months of the year you will be in thick socks and boots, jackets and gloves. Streets are deserted. Dark even at 3:30pm because Sun will set at about 3pm. Everyone stays off the streets, so then loneliness sets in.

Those caught up in the ugliness of this drama are too dissapointed and ashamed to own up and say they wished they had stayed the fck out of this desolate land. If they dont cry, others dont know not to go in.

Canada needs to boost economy, it is using migration to uplift labor lifestyle for its citizens and also keep a high population of taxable earners.

Y'all never cease to amaze me. Anyway as long as you don't promote hate against another ethnicity. We need Africa unity and at the same time, destruction of colonial borders especially in Nigeria.

Never forget that Africa is at the bottom and "bashing" others wouldn't help "black people." I don't know why nairalanders that claim to be Igbos and Yorubas act so foolish or maybe just ignorant! Jeez!

Y'all should be ashamed that Nigeria is 63 years old but still getting worst every year! Or maybe Black Lives don't matter in Africa?

hehe bros suffering is everywhere. you cant run from your destiny

FinidiGeorge:

Lol... I remember you said one time that some will go and meet their karmas in the abroad they think will shield them from suffering

FinidiGeorge:

You can talk about Nigeria but can't remember how Nigeria was formed ba? You don't know that it is unjust abi? You want to destroy colonial borders but don't want to destroy colonial foundations (whatever you mean by borders anyway)? Were people not living in peace before the colonialists and the curse of merging different nations together to form one confused country which of course is artificial.

You can't put the cart before the horse and expect progress. If you want Africa unity, for example in a place like Nigeria, let's talk about our differences first which of course are unique, this will germinate respect for each tribe and nations inside Nigeria, let them realize the detriment of ignoring this and how colonialists deceived us into joining the nations together. There can now be a landing point for governance system (division into original units, regional, amendment of constitution for equal rights etc.) As for me, I'll go with the division for several reasons.

You can't fight colonialists or their systems without visiting the foundation of what they did to you and carefully undo their hands and reset the system. But when you believe you will weather and sweat it out using the alien system, you will continually fail, it's no magic! Continue to do it like this nah and call the pseudo country one Nigeria, before your very eyes, another 63 years will roll away

If the foundation was good, Nigeria wouldn't have failed in just 6 years of its establishment! 1960 - 66, and since then, it has been merry go round of stagnation.

Canada is an overrated overhyped 2nd world country working towards becoming a big force but not yet there as being hyped.


Canadian government is good in hyping Canada as paradise to attract immigrants with money. That money is part of what they are using to run the struggling Canadian economy.


Do you know that Canadian healthcare employers are so broke that they cant even sponsor foreign Doctors, Nurses and Healthcare professionals to come work in Canada despite the shortage of healthcare workers causing many Canadian hospitals and healthcare facilities to shutdown?


You cannot say the same for UK talk more of USA.



Some Canadian province looking to officially defraud foreign nurses overhyped one program for Doctors abi Nurses from some countries to come into Canada and work, they collected money in dollars from these foreign healthcare professionals to issue them temporaty license to come practice in Canada, after all the hype, they have issued many the so called worthless license and guess what? No work for them and no Canadian employer is ready to sponsor the so called healthcare professionals they lied to that they are short of healthcare professionals and urgently need them to come and work in Canada, just to collect their money for license and other registration fees to fund Canadian government.



US or UK can never try such without having thousands of employers ready and waiting desperately to employ those foreign professionals.



Even ordinary caregivers, UK employers are ready to sponsor them in their thousands from different countries of the world, that is how you know a rich nation with booming economy. Do you know how many foreign nurses, doctors, pharmacists, lab scientists, etc that UK healthcare employers sponsor on a monthly basis from different countries of the world without asking them to wait until they get UK experience? You know why? Because UK is rich and have a booming economy and rich employers that cannot even meet their workforce need, but Canada, hahahaha hungry employers struggling to remain in business due to struggling Canadian economy cannot afford to sponsor any foreign professional so they mask it with Canada experience cheesy.




The only good thing about Canada is the ease of getting PR compared to other developed countries which is why many immigrants are trooping into Canada.



How many global billionaires have Canada produced in the past 2 decades now?


How many A class corporations and multinational conglomerates are headquartered in Canada or founded by Canadians?


How many top rated Tech companies are headquartered in Canada or founded by Canada?


How many solutions to global problems have been discovered in Canada or sponsored by Canadian government or companies?


Elon Musk realized he couldn't achieve his big financial dreams living in Canada, he took the bold step to migrate to USA and today he is the richest man on earth.



Canada is far better than Nigeria, all thanks to successive useless Presidents and Governors Nigeria have had but Canada is an overhyped 2nd world country, not supposed to be referred as a 1st world country cos they are struggling economically while using immigration and foreign students to run their slow economy that even high skilled migrants from other 1st world countries find difficult to secure befitting job in Canada.



If you like deny all I have said with facts but the truth remains the truth.


How many Nigerians living in Canada can be classified as rich in Nigeria when compared to those living in other first world countries like US, UK, Germany, etc?

Attaboy!!!

Keep it up.

DuchessAmanda:
Kindly enlighten, Sir.

Why do they buy houses over there when you can do it in your native country, Nigeria ?

After all, as you said, the older ones are the ones that buy in Nigeria.

So are there pros over there and cons over here, they have seen ?
