All these YouTubers! Is that these Nigerian ladies and women are jobless and lonely, putting up unnecessary videos about Canada just to get traffic? I am sure this ugly thing is talking these trash from the comfort of her home in Canada. Leave people alone to make their choices.

I have the feeling that most Nigerians in Canada don't like more Nigerians to come over to Canada. They hate when they see more Nigerians making the journey, including the relatives they left behind when they made their own journeys. All the points she mentioned does not hold water at all. Very shallow thinking.

Guy, stop lying to buttress your point.

Nobody collects 1300CAD in Canada a month doing a full time job even if it is cleaning toilet. Minimum wage is $14 per hour. If you are working full time (40 hours a week) cleaning toilets, you will earn 2240 CAD a month before taxes. Most people in those low category of work do overtime or 2 jobs. It won't be surprising seeing that person take up a weekend job where they will work for extra 10 hours over the weekend and make extra money.
Now, people in those category have a very low tax bracket. Canada does not have a flat tax for everyone, it depends on your earnings. In Canada, people keep receipts and record of some things they pay out of pocket like rents, church offerings etc. and at the end of the tax year, you can include those expenses when filing your taxes and you will get some money back from the government as refund. In my first year in Canada, the money i and my wife got back in our tax return from government was enough to buy our second car.

You need to understand a system thoroughly before you make good judgement. Don't rely on hear say or what you read on Nairaland. Some of the information peddled on this forum may not be lies but are half-truths. The thing is that Half-truth is worse than lies.

The person you are talking about may just be working part time or a student who is only expected to work 20 hours a week maximum or there is something else they are not telling you. In reality no permanent resident full time worker will earn just 1300CAD every month. Not mathematically possible.

One thing most of you don't understand is that you don't rate a country based on the rich. The rich in any country Canada and the US included is a small percentage of the entire population and will always be so. You rate a country based on what is available to the lower class, the poor. What services are available to them? What social benefits are available to them? How are the poor treated? etc.

For instance, the poor in Nigeria will not even have the opportunity to do 2 jobs even if they want to. Why? Because the system does not support it. By not having an hourly wage in Nigeria, you have systematically prevented the poor from working in 2 places that would have helped them earn more.

when people speak, and compare nigeria with the west countries or any country in africa and start righting rubbish here i just laugh. and sometimes get angry. some nigerians are in illegal businesses abroad and because they use their money to show off in nigeria, they will begin to say life in the west is bad, and that we are slaves. instead of saying the truth about things for nigeria to be better, they will be talking about davido or burna boy., because they are rich, they will say they make it in nigeria. Forget about being rich. If i am very rich today i just go to neighbouring countries and live there because their is quality of life. Many houses in cotonou have tap water and 24 hrs light. 60 percent of their schools are good. over 50 percent of their roads are good too. I came home to niger one day and i went to my former high school, i nearly cried, 80 percent of classes are licking with raln water. if it rains, then there will be no lectures.I donate 200k every year to my school every year. Go to so many of these states, like kwara,oyo , ogun, e.t.c many school you go there, they have no roof, and we are talking of being rich. I think if i am rich and my neighbour children cant go to scool and my child is in private school and i say it does not concern me, then i must be a stupid human being. because the child of the poor will one day rub my child or kidnapp him. thats what is happening today. Go to oshodi guys way no read priamry 6 finish, like MC oluomo can get a visa for his 3 wifes and 10 kids to the US and a medical doctor or a proffesor in nigeria can get a visa to south africa. My friend we are finished. We no see anything yet. i am glad i left 28 years ago, but when i look back i am not happy i left. my pension pot lasan is nearly 30k in pounds per year. let say i did not leave and i am government worker, how will i be living. my uncle is going 65 and his pension is 20k in naira, he hasnt got a kobo since last year 2019. i now feed him. Is that a country sha?

Oh really...I have lived in Canada for almost 6 years..i don't regret escaping that useless Nigeria. You have no idea of what you saying.

How does that help to put things in perspective if you won't mention how much you earn.
