Nigerians and competition..


Allow Indians breath..


We are all one ..


Focus on how you as an individual go blow..

Timoleon:
Nigerians compete against Nigerians, Indians protect Indians from other people. The average Nigerian will exploit you when you get to Canada. The average Indian will be sheltered and helped by relatives and kinsmen until they get to their feet and of course are expected to help others. The average Indian will rather live moderate while building a business or career, the average Nigerian will want to pepper village people that still check on them on social media thereby not being able to save much let alone build something tangible in Canada.

Just as we like education, Indians like it too. But many of them are able to stay focus and get to the top of their careers, Nigerians mostly see it as a means of entering Canada and often deviate from it once they are in.

The general population of India is many times that of Nigerians. The ratio will almost always show especially in countries that have history with Uk. Examples include Australia, New Zealand, USA and of uk itself.

They are communal in nature and help each other to grow.

3 Indian families will stay in one house so they can own it faster while their grandparents take care of the kids ( no day care cost). In 10 years the 3 families have all acquired theirs. Ordinary your siblings or mother in law comes to visit the opposite spouse wants him or her out asap.

5 indian men will contribute money to buy hotel, gas station, fast food joint etc. Till all of them will own one each. Now picture 5 Nigerian men doing same, issues like deceit, financial fraud, sleeping with another of them wife or daughter will arise. Nigerians most times want to be the superstar in a clique , some people will never empower their siblings because of the respect and power they command in the family.

They also are strategic and contest for elective posts like parliament, mayor, Local governments etc . They have done it in USA, Canada, Uk etc.

We are like Leapards (loners) while they are like lions who move in pride.

Thank you so much for this.

Exactly what I saw. They contribute money to buy stuff. Check out the franchise. Go to the Mary Brown's and its Indians running it. Go to immigration, they are all over.

How many Nigerian or African franchise are present in Canada? How many Nigerians in customs? Immigration? Law making? Where are all the Nigerians? I ask my wife this as we drive through cities here.

I love to see Nigerians help themselves and prosper because it is really good to see. I have a feeling that everyone wants to do it on their own.

If you read the post carefully it was about an observation. No one is comparing. The salient point on there is how the Indians help themselves.

What is your own take on it?

Enculer2:


100% agree with you on this one.

The vibes I even got from LinkedIN from some Nigerians when I was job hunting was sad. Almost like I was there to take their Jobs in Canada. That was the saddest part for me.

I sent out the same message to different Canadian based professionals in my field on LinkedIn. If you read the responses I got by Country, you will shake your head for Nigeria. Na my Bahyas from India help me pass. Omo, I weak.

When I got the job, some were acting friendly. Na wah oh. Life is so short. We should help each other. Share information. Form bonds and show each other the way.

Sorry about your experience, mon ami.

Just wanted to ask, what are you personally doing to ensure we unite, cooperate, and form a strong force like the Indians?

Happy to read your views.
