poverty capital of the world indeed!dont br fooled by the fake statistics the white bandy about.if I may ask u what are the indices the so called whites take into consideration before arriving at thier stupid figures.u want to tell me the whites stay in the villages to know such indices as pci,standard of living etc.its not all what a white man tells u that is correct

I live in Canada and won't choose a 100 million over Canada. You need to leave Nigeria to know you live in a jungle. I have seen MTN and Bank managers who left naija to start afresh here.

What's 15m? Upgrade your thoughts please.

salford1:

200k. That is a family doctor's wage in Canada. How many people will earn that? Maybe too 0.5% lol.

ajl:


Tell me what those former MTN and Bank Managers are doing now; some may be working as security guards. We know the story because we are part of the system. Only few find their way to a blue collar job that match their experience. Employers would be asking you for Canadian experience that you don't have.

ajl:


Sure, that point to the rosy part of the story. I gave another comment that show the other side which many Nigerian immigrants belong to but a Nija in Australia is talking as if every Nija in the West are software engineers. Go to work at Google in California, your salary is not even enough to get you an apartment to rent. Google has created a camp on its parking lot for its worker to sleep and go to work. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/why-google-employees-live-in-the-parking-lot-2015-10

Let me make my own case on this matter. You do not have to agree with me on what I am going to say. This is just my take and opinion on this topic .

Most of the food in Canada is processed food. You have the opportunity of eating natural food in Nigeria 85% of the time. Most African meals are very natural and nutritious without any processing input. In Canada, most of the food will be in Cans,Tins and Packets. We don't value what we have in Africa. The western world is a business machine that keeps grinding on a 24 hours basis. This machine needs immigrants to keep it running. Immigrants are the fuel that makes Canada, USA, UK etc run well. There is no doubt about that. Everything in Canada is organized in such a way that the Country benefits from you more than you benefit from the Country. Yes, the system is not perfect in Nigeria and we have a lot of problems. If we can remove the GREED that dwells in a lot of Nigerians, the country will be better for it. Our Parents should take it easy in their quest to 'eat the fruits of their Labour'. They should stop using all sorts of tricks and lies to obtain money from their children sometimes. If we can sort out this problem of an 'Entitlement Mentality' from our society in Nigeria, Nigeria will become one of the best places to live in the world.

If you are in Nigeria, you have the luxury of eating very natural food from all parts of the country. Food prices are different all over the country. You can grow most crops in Nigeria in your home, I'm telling you. Why did people stop having gardens in their home in Nigeria? Western food is not that nutritious and this is why you find Asian Restaurants having a lot of patronage from white people. I have seen family members who are 60 years + in UK,USA etc and they have not achieved much. That plate of Eba and vegetable soup you will eat tonight, do you know how much you will pay for it in Canada? What about the mental illnesses and cancer among the whites and native populations of Canada, Australia etc? If you continue eating this Processed food for a long time, coupled with the weather, you might develop illnesses as time goes on. There are so many Positives and Negatives of living in Canada or in Nigeria . One thing I know is that Nigeria is a very virgin and untapped land which has a lot of opportunities. There is nothing wrong in emigrating to Canada though. Cheers.

What do I need to study to get such a job?

Sarang:


What type of investments did you make sir?
I am very interested.

Lovelies1:

Its obvious you understand the western system. And you know what they do? They will place a dialysis company close to each neighbourhood to help make more money from you once their food has messed up your kidney. The West has its good side but you need to understand the system to be ahead.

ajl:


Advanced degrees to the top level followed by years of postdoctoral experience with a university research group. While your age groups are buying houses or life luxuries (which they really don't own) you are busy reading in the library or running experiments. Can you put another 7-9 years of your life after getting a BSc to something you are not even sure how it will end? Can you run experiments all night continously for 7days taking some "stupid' reading while everyone is sleeping? That's the kind of investment I meant. Just hardwork. It's no different from taking business risk. The fact that you spend all those years working hard to get all the degrees in this world does not guarantee you a job. Of course you can always end up somewhere.

ajl:


You need to study to the PhD level. Choose a field in Engineering, Biomedical, Science (not all areas). But to achieve that you need to end up in the industry, not in the university. Only very few professors supported by big time funding make that kind of money.

If you are privileged to do your PhD under the supervision of a top level professor known in the industry as a leading expert in that field, I could say you are made for life. Companies will run after you.

But as in everything in life there are no guarantees, because you are just an employee. You could target being financially independent later in your career. That's also a different ball game in a white-man's world.

cucumbar:
I find this hard to believe. How can one earning, say $6k a month not be able to save up to $20k In a year?

bilulu:

Yea I get your point, check the ratio of Kenyans who want to go back and Nigerians who want to go back you will see the difference. Going back means the countries are beginning to get back in line but ask Nigerians when they re going back they will see you as one of their village people.

alexxo11:
im a kenyan who lives in kenya....i know of nigerians who dont get out of their houses because they dont have documents....(its kinda hard for illegal nigerians in kenya).They tell me they are ok will that kind of life....electricity and fast internet is enough leisure for them which they cant risk by going back to nigeria.I also know of an igbo girl who has just completed college (usiu in kenya).She was requesting to come and live with me in my house coz her visa expires in dec and she dosent want to go back to nigeria.It has reached a point that nigerians are even preferring other african countries to their own.Im shook.

Be d village people and u will b safe

lol.... if you can't stop them join them..

Bnimz:

I don't think there's anybody who has spent two years in Australia on a visa with full work rights that will complain about barely surviving... You'll hear us complain about taxes, bills, house prices, etc o, but barely surviving? I don't know a single Nigerian in that category here.

I dey see @catchdwind4rmkd lurking in the background...., baba what's your opinion on the subject?

darthv:

where do you guys always get this ideology from, Do you think rent and other necessary amenities is cheap over there. you end up saving less than a $1000 dollars monthly.The only good pointer is that you get what you pay for.

GeneralShepherd:
15 million naira is about 55K CAD. I am not conversant about Canada but I know making 100k AUD (24 mill) in Australia is easy and you can save up to 40k per year.

Nigerians love to dampen others resolve. For all those talking about bills overseas and taxes,

how do you think the roads are maintained overseas?

Do you not pay bills in Nigeria? Do you all live ren't free and have free food?

I will repeat my assertion, after bills and rent, most people I know in Australia still manage to save up to 40k per annum.

Like every other country, if manage your finances well you will have more money in the bank. You don't need to buy a new phone every year or change your car every two years or buy new clothes every month.

Statistics still show that Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. You can Google yourself before you claim that people overseas are suffering

Last update ooo, to each their own if you feel Nigeria is better and you are happy stay there. If you feel everyone living abroad is suffering believe that. I am tired of all these mentions telling me that Nigerians are richer than people in the West.

A country where there is evidence of poverty every direction you look.

Take the 15million, do my MSC, learn French till I'm perfect then upgrade my skillset to something hot and in demand in Canada...then apply for express entry with remaining 10 million and leave naija for pdp, apc and all other useless politicians

My dear, you're wrong

Yes, the opinion is yours and that's your take

But let me tell you. Majority of us in Canada, Ontario to be specific, eat rich, natural Nigerian food In fact, I hate eba tonight, with okro soup, me and my three years old son How I wish I can upload pictures of my agege bread. Even in Toronto, you would find moi-moi elewe

In my over one year of living in this beautiful country, I have not eaten all those things you have mentioned up there, perhaps except their fruits, such as strawberry, peach, seedless grapes etc, which are elitist in Nigeria. My children eat Indomie, and I mean Nigerian Indomie. We drink Milo, Nigerian Milo, Peak Milk, Knorr Seasoning Cube, Egusi, Snail and so on and so forth, Only if you know how many Nigerians that are selling all these things

If you know anybody in the town of Milton, ask her if she knows Funke at Farmstead Road, believe me bro/sis, you'll find everything Nigerian there, trust me . There's also Sister Elizabeth, and Aunty Nkiru. Anything Nigerian, you'll find them at these places. There's also one Afro=Carribian Store at Steeles Avenue or so, or is it Main Street? I can't remeber

Yam o, Ugwu o, Bitter leaf o, Kuli-Kuli, from GidiGrubs, we use it to drink garri, name it, they are all available

There's Ola-Ola, Yellow and White Garri, Semovita, GoldenMorn, name it. Even ipekere and plantain chips

So, you're absolutely wrong with what you have posted there.

Ho, sorry, I forget to also add that there are Nigerians selling soups, different kind of soups and Nigerian Jollof in Mississauga and Toronto. I bought a two units of 1-liter bowl of Afang soup, and one of Banga soup from one lady in Toronto. She brought them to me in Milton. There's efo riro if you want, just order online. The Jollof rice we ate at Elizabeth's child naming ceremony was superb. It was prepared by a Nigerian caterer, the popular olopo

By the way, Canada is such a country that cares for her citizens. It's not a country where anyone can just bring any kind of food and dump it there without going through the rigorous test to know if it's good for consumption and won't cause harmful effect in the long run. In other words, they practice preventive medicine. That's just the few I have for you. And before you say "they're expensive" remember we earned in dollars, so we spend in dollars, and government also gives us money back for our spending through tax returns, HST/GST, and through the CCB-Canada Child Benefit
