Familiarity breeds contempt.During covid lockdown, some said it was horrible to sit at home, but for me it was a normal moment.There is a difference between feeling lonely and being alone.I find peace and solace being alone.I don't feel lonely at all.On my free time,l exercise more at home than going to noisy gyms full of egocentric fellows.I like running or walking too by myself.l will like to move to Canada cause it seem to match with my personality. 5 Likes 1 Share |

sukkot: Now you begin to yarn nonsense. Nigerians are among the most hardworking people on earth. Just like we have some lazy Nigerians so also do we have lazy Americans and lazy Britons. If Nigerian was such a shithole how come you and so many Nigerians leave the shithole and become geniuses abroad if they didn't have a solid foundation to build on. Medical students endure the cheap medical education here and jump on the next plane to go practice what they learn in Africa in Europe....I still don't get it.....you want to be treating whites but it's black you are using to train....why not go do medicine abroad and stop gaming our system and allow those that will treat us get the education. Some of you once you've joined the modern slave trade starts thinking so much of yourselves.....you are nothing but a modern slave doing housework christened Care job and washing diapers .....jobs their own citizens refused to do.

sukkot: So the question is that is it the Nigerian people that are hard working or the western system forces them to work hard because there is not hiding place? I think it's a Bit of both. Nigerians in the last 30 or so years have been devastated by rapidly increasing poverty and dysfunctional economy which has forced the culture of cutting corners on us. Same reason why prostitution (hookup, runs etc) is so rampant now. Nigerians no longer believe as much in hard work or personal integrity. Too many Nigerians try to be 'smart' and game the system when they can. And this applies in both private and public sector. But when they are in environments where gaming the system is very, very difficult, they buckle up and work hard. |

COMPAQ:you would be shocked to find out that every nigerian is always actively looking for ways to game the system no matter the country they find themself in. take for example Gbajabiamila a georgia lawyer found a loophole in the law and absconded with a clients 25000 dollars. he paid it back many years later after he done chop money for naija 1 Like |

Bliss62: Let me lend my voice and say what I experienced and what I was told by a couple of new comers I met: NIGERIANS MAY NOT BE LAZY, BUT: NO OTHER NATIONALITY HATES THEMSELVES AND COMPETE NEGATIVELY AND UNHEALTHILY AGAINST THEMSELVES AS NIGERIANS DO. NONE! Now let me make a disclaimer. The primary purpose of Japa is not to go and hangout with your country men. No. So whether Nigerians unite or not, face your purpose of relocating abroad, please. Nigerians in the UK might be crazy and noisy and jaiye jaiye o. But I bet you when you get to Canada you might envy Nigerians in the UK and their mostly scandalous life style. From what I saw/experienced when I visited and what I was told, NIGERIANS ARE THE MOST DISUNITED NATIONALITY IN CANADA. A foreign land where they break themselves into regions, ethnic groups, tribes, villages, etc. And that is even only online. It stops online. Na only to go picnic for June/July dem sabi. They will never discuss and tell you positive things and information to give you progress as a fellow Nigerian and especially if you are a newcomer. Instead na Scam, MMM, get rich quick schemes, and how to get you entrenched in debt like most of them are, that they focus on. They are like the sluts who are jealous of, envious of, and shame the virgin and goad her into having sex so that she becomes like them. Take Saskatoon Canada for example. Every weekend you will see Indians gather. It was so refreshing and adorable. As I strolled with the people I went to Visit on Holidays I saw Asians gather for grills and cookouts especially during summer. As you walk in the evening you will see Arabs gathered in the house of one Arab or another. I was told they usually rotate it from family to family. The children are playing. The Men are discussing, hopefully progressive things. The women are talking hopefully about how to make their families comfortable and all that. They are having a good time. They associate and push for progress of their countrymen. They are eating, drinking, and the families interact. Nigerians will see a fellow Nigerian and will not respond to a “good morning”. A Nigerian will pass by a Nigerian speaking Yoruba and will not even acknowledge one another. Na Oyibo instead Dey respond with a “Hi” and smiles and asking you where you are from and telling you how to prepare for winter. The Nigerians WhatsApp groups is broken into Tribes. Na only how to sell hair and kulikuli dem sabi. Ask them questions on something serious and one week nobody don respond. Then they foolishly tell you to pay membership dues. Bunch of rogues, the most of them, anywhere they are. The biggest a Nigerian will do for you is to fight with other Nigerians in dragging you to their Church as a new comer. Those who just arrived have real challenges. Not church. Church isn’t the problem of a new comer in Canada. Some of you will say “maybe in church they will provide information and assistance to solve your problems”. Haha Dey Play. Na LIE. Big Lie. Once they close, they all disperse. Then Friday the same person is asking if you are coming to church. Oga/Madam, to hell with you and your church. I have things to tick off. From SIM to SIN to Bank Account Opening to getting a bus card to getting long term accommodation, to registering kids for school, to knowing where to shop for what, to health insurance to claiming the benefits for kids, etc. Settling down is the problem of a new comer. Not church. And NO. The churches don’t help. And then when you attend the church what do you see? Classism. Groups and cliques. It is so bad that even their kids no the kids of other people they shouldn’t play with. Gossiping. Looking at who came with the best car. A Nigerian told a new comer not to get accommodation in an area of Saskatoon because there are too many Nigerians living in that neighborhood. Questions were asked that is the crime rate high? No. Is the neighborhood dilapidated or rundown? No, it is even one of the best. Do the Nigerians create trouble or fight or steal each others wives and husbands or something? No. The only reason is that there are too many Nigerians there! What manner of people are we? Nigerians who just arrived get more information about settling down FROM INDIAN AND ASIAN UBER DRIVERS! Yes. A Nigerian Uber Driver even refused to acknowledge he is Nigerian till her overheard my discussions, knew the industry I work in and realized I did not come to Canada to Beg. He realized that for this guy to get an UberXL he obviously isn’t broke. Meanwhile I had seen his name on the App and he had seen mine. You see a Nigerian in a thrift store, the moment you say Hello, they reluctantly respond . This is someone you probably saw somewhere and has been pointed out to you. Nigerians Dey shame to greet fellow Nigerians for thrift store. Oga there is no need for this big man attitude or to Dey hide and Dey shame make people no know say you Dey go Value Village. Nigerians are just one funny set of people. Self expression, social interaction and a network of country men to socialize with is important. But many new comers quickly give up on it and realize the horrible snobbish attitudes of Nigerians. They adopt the same “make everybody Dey him house” attitude and the cycle continues. Finally, it is known that as per foreigners in many Canadian Provinces you have Nigerians, Arabs, Asians, and Indians/Pakistanis. These other groups unite so well. They even influence elections and present candidates as Council Members. And they win. They can do this due to the Unity and Common sense of purpose they have. Nigerians will have serious issues in this regard. Jealousy, envy, unhealthy and very sick and wicked spirit of competition will not allow them achieve administrative strength and political power in these Provinces and cities in Canada. 4 Likes 1 Share |

That's how Indians came to Naija with no experience will be asking for fellow indians. Do you know MTN has less expatriates, Airtel that is owned by Indian have less than 15 India. In the whole network. Ask my naija network what the entire Indian is doing in the network that is not even taking advantage of its home base. Bliss62: |
