I can say Canada is probably one of the very few western countries I can say nice things about. I have lived there before and in couple of other countries and I can compare, most especially with their "demon" neighbour to the south and their "evil" aunty across the atlantic ocean to the east. Canada provided an haven of safety for some of the enslaved offsprings of our forebearers that were sold into slavery. And these days some of us choose Canada as a place to further our education or settledown to escape the "demon" politicians at home. Of course like every western countries, one still can't escape racism as a black African. But if I have to rate Canada and the US, Canada I will score 3 on a scale of 10 while I rate US 9 on same scale. While we note all these good things about another country, it is because most of the individuals from that country choose to be Citizens and not Idiotic Barbarians or Tribalists. Nigeria is where it is today because most of us choose to be Idiotic Barbarians and Tribalists rather being a citizen. As you enjoy the comfort offered by Canada, at the back of your mind remember you also have a country. If we all cut and run, in another few decades the Chinese and other foreigners would be happy to have the nation we refused to elevate or build with our soul and sweat. 31 Likes 2 Shares |

In Nigeria if they did pay, they'd ask for a group selfie only to gloat on Facebook starting with: "So we met this poor struggling family and my hubby paid for their meal, the look of gratitude in their teary eyes made us thank Daddy GO for our blessings, many more to come this 2020 in jeebus name, hallelujah and amen. #RCCG" 25 Likes 1 Share |

That’s the difference between blacks and Caucasians, while the former crave for gratitude and you telling them thanks and sometimes even worship them in return for a favour, the latter just do good for humanity and doesn’t bother about receiving thanks. I’ve had several cases in the UK where an unknown stranger did me huge favour seeking for their identity to be anonymous or just do a kind gesture while hurriedly moving away without waiting for thanks. If a black person had done this, they’ll capture it on camera, post on IG etc for cheap claps. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

ajl: True! although going back centuries, it seems Africa in general hasn't changed much in terms of the culture of intimidation and excessive control. It shows the task on our hands because as they saying goes, "wetin concern agbero with overload", many people don't know better. They're not taught better in schools (if they attend), the only values they hold today is the one society taught them. nevertheless, its our individual choice(s) at the end of the day, everyone is held accountable for their actions. |

Nowenuse: I think Blacks are innately insecure and always crave for public validation to compensate for their insecurity. The act of showing off and unnecessary attention seeking is a way of obscuring one’s shortcomings. 8 Likes |

maternal:Like almost anywhere packaging can be deceptive. There are good and nasty people everywhere. In successful countries, people in smaller, more relaxed cities are friendliest because they are under less daily stress. Workplaces will always have bullies, gossips and snitches. Wisdom is needed handling them. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

monfizzy: Stop that trash talk. Usual.sense of self-hate. I bet the western media do more of what you claim when their authorities or citizens do some good deeds for 3rd world countries. Their are millions of Nigerians that do uncountable good deeds that no one hear about. If you want me to relate my own personal experience I will do so here. You don't know me personally so I can't feel I am blowing my horn for the need of self gratification. As a Yoruba who lived/studied in Canada and worked in one of their institutions, I connected and partly funded (a non-yoruba) researcher from Nigeria. Today, the man is a professor and now collaborate with teams in Canada. I can go on and on. So stop demonizing your kind. In fact it is the western culture that have a system for self-gratification in place. Rather, on our side some stupid individuals do this but not in the way it is done in the west. You know nothing about what you are driving at. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Not all Canadians are nice people, from when you start studying and eventually start working you would see how they can be backstabbers and tricky monsters who care for nothing but themselves and getting successful at your expense. Be warned not all glitters is gold but surely you can also become a master at playing their game. 12 Likes |

Can every Nigerian leave for Canada? Even if one Nigerian in every houshold goes to Canada, Canada won't contain us. We are too much in this country. We spoilt our own country, now we want to run away. Shey if Canadians too decide to spoil their own country, will there be somewhere Nigerians will go to? Why are Indians trooping to Nigeria. And Nigerians are running to India? Indians love Nigeria because we treat whites better than we treat ourselves. Even an Egyptian can come to Nigeria to work and claim white guy. I think it's a problem with the black race. Blacks have a serious problem. And the truth is we don't know we have a problem... 19 Likes |
