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.

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"

Hahaha took me years to master the politricks. Years!!!! Now I have mastered it, I run these fake oyibo devils. But what makes me laugh and feel sad is when a new immigrant comes here and you warn them. They never listen and fall for these fake devils until they get burned then vex.

OMG! Please I need you and Salford1 to lecture me on this like ASAP. I already secured a job in Canada and will be moving over there to resume by next month. I really really need to know what you guys are trying to say.
More enlightenment for fellow compatriots pls

sacx:

Like I posted before, one Nigerian paid for the flight tickets of more than 700 stranded country folks in S.A does that make all Nigerians kind? what of the bro who gave N1 million to a beggar and translator right here in Nigeria? so because one White person pays your meal and complements your baby it means all Canadians are nice

I thought we where supposed to leave all this 2019 characters behind us?

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.

Yes.

That's not Christianity but mysticism

Black people all over the world just have a tendency and culture of showing off. I really wonder why this is so.

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.

Yes I can tell you most of them have a welcoming, friendly and helpful disposition having lived here for 5 yrs.So suck it up and accept the fact.

my lecturer shared a similar experience. They just moved to Canada and Needed to get a washing machine urgently, they found one that the price was really higher than their budget but felt they could beat it down. They Approached the young couple. selling it and after bargaining, they paid and went to look for a truck to bring it Home. When they got Home, the wife opened the washing machine and saw an envelope with more than thrice the money they paid, there was a small Note there that read "we love your family and hope you settle in Soon, please do reachout if you need any assistance.". That was really touching. This happened over 10 years ago.
Wow, that's really nice. The country becomes better because we receive and give kindness and the cycle goes ground.

That is why Nigeria is a tough place to live,we are a very unkind people always looking for ways to take advantage of oursekves, whether in business,play or in religion.
Most country will survive an economic downturn,but its difficult to survive in a toxic environment..

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.

I know what Christianity is and I insist that post doesn't define it. Whatever he said was simply his opinion.

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.

People are always nice to foreigners, but some Nigerian's spoil everything

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.

So my wife and I took a few days off. It's pre thanksgiving and we decided to have lunch at a restaurant. We went with our 11 month old baby and sat beside a couple that were wrapping up their own lunch. They admired our beautiful baby and gave the usual compliments - "oh she's so cute", "How old is she" etc.
They left before us and when we concluded, asked for the bill. We received the shock of our lives when the waiter told us the couple had paid for our lunch, that they liked our baby. We were so surprised and didn't even have the opportunity to say thank you to them. These guys are super nice here and we indeed feel very grateful. Happy thanksgiving to all Canadians.

Try Newark or Baltimore in the American NE and see. They will put their own bill on you

CastedDude:
Some pained people should keep on killing themselves because they cant leave the shores of Nigeria. Canadians are really nice people and relocating abroad is a very good move. God bless u guys who have shared their lovely stories. Cant wait to hear more.

Guy try and focus on something positive. You're too pessimistic

Amanda4life:



I'm almost dying here

why?

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.

Those one's knows what it is to love and share

We are here struggling with frustration and depression

news like this makes me want to go to Canada my country very soon. 2020 my year of Canada. Amen

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...

Please can you share a story with us that we may draw valuable lessons from it. ( workforce stories )

Some of us here have landed a job in Canada and will depart here for there in coming months.
