I also tried to watch the YouTube video but I see the owner has deleted it.

Youtubers have a crazy habit of creating controversial and unfounded topics just to garner subscribers and views.

The backlash got too much for her I guess

'The backlash got too much for her I guess' perhaps! She has every right to create content for her channel, but she should do some research at least. It could be that the last time she was in Nigeria was when OBJ was the president, Buhari is now the Nigerian president modo9

usj:
I saw this thread on front page and I must confess I was really disappointed https://www.nairaland.com/6313872/opinion-10-reasons-why-nigeria by mode9
it's like some people take pride in mediocrity. Here is why, let's go by the original OP's points.
1. Schools are generally cheaper in Nigeria unlike Canada

Those going over to Canada to pay that high tuition fees are paying for quality education, and that in itself speaks volume. Nigeria educational system is wack. I studied mechanical engineering(Unilorin) and I can tell you that I finished my studies without any tangible practical knowledge, the only practical we were exposed to was of no relevance in this 21st century, imagine students being at home for almost a year now (ASUU strike) is that the Nigerian way of subsidising education? Nigerian schools are poorly equipped.

[b]2. Electricity is cheaper in Nigeria than in Canada:
Is electricity truly cheap in Nigeria? I've being paying for light I hardly see, imagine the noise from generators and how much I spend on fuelling generator. I rather pay that much as you said in Canada and have stable electricity and a quiet environment( avoiding noises from generators).

3. Healthcare is cheaper in Nigeria than in Canada : how many people die (of preventable diseases) here because of poor medical care daily? There are no treatments available for most sicknesses in Nigeria. Most of the drugs in Nigeria are even fake. Is that what the op is saying it's good? Most hospitals don't even have drugs and vaccines (I have heard of people dying of snake bits because of lack of antidotes). Nigerian hospitals are under equipped and under staff.

4. You can never feel lonely in Nigeria unlike Canada: this is expected when you relocate to a new environment. If you take somebody from another country to Nigeria he/she will feel the same way . So this is not a valid point as it counts for all people.

5. The weather in Nigeria is better than that of Canada:
Again this doesn't count, if you bring someone that have lived in Canada as long as the OP has in Nigeria they will equally tell you that their weather is better, why because that is what their body has adapted to. You're uncomfortable with the weather there because your body has not adapted to it.
6. The price of petrol in Nigeria is cheaper than in Canada: is that what you call cheap? Cheap indeed. At the expense of our economy. I know Canada and Nigeria are both oil producers but, there, they don't import refined oil. That shows things are working in their own oil sector. They don't depend on China to fuel their cars. It's so bad in Nigeria oil sector that we even import oil from Niger republic. It's just a shame.

7. Getting African food is cheaper in Nigeria than Canada
This is a no pointer, same as point 4 and 5 you're only seeing things from the Nigerian point of view without considering how a foreigner will feel in Nigeria. Do you think an indian would find their food stuff cheaper in Nigeria than in India?

8. Accommodation is far cheaper in Nigeria unlike Canada:
Speak rather of the purchasing power of both currencies, and the location of the houses involved in both countries. How much is the minimum wage in Canada compare to that of Nigeria? houses are valued according to their income. Considering our minimum wage with that of Canada, paying 500k in Nigeria in on the high side. How may households can even afford that in Nigeria?

9. Data is cheap in Nigeria unlike Canada:
How so? Are you talking about Glo data that most people outside of the major cities can not use? I have four mobile lines (MTN, Glo, Airtel and 9mobile) and I can boldly tell you that most time when you change location you can hardly use your data (you will not even have reception in some places) before its validity runs out. Whats the essence of having Glo data that you can not use in sending an email. You will not know how expensive it is when you have to submit reports and there is no service for you to do so, until you find yourself in such a situation and misses a deadline.

10. Finally, it is easier to bargain in Nigeria than Canada.
Is this even a point? I'm sure you've not over pay for a goods before? Nigeria that most people are out to cheat others and say 'magger don fall'? You can only be confident in your bargaining power if only you know the cost price of what you're buying. I rather shop in a place with fixed price than bargain in a place where someone preys on my ignorance and sells things to me on over inflated price. Imagine buying things that goes for 2k for 2.5k or 3k, no matter how you can bargain no business person will ever sell an item to you below the cost price, except you're buying stolen goods or expires products.

I saw the previous thread and I almost curse her(Na my mama calm me down).

None of her opinions are even worthy of saying.
Some foolish people even backed her opinions.

I don't know why someone will just wake up and decide to think backward.

Canada is far better in everything.

You can make canada nationwide call for a month with 35$ without thinking of usage meanwhile Mtn to Mtn is #100 for 11 minutes.

Electricity is uninterrupted.

Transportation no be here at all.

Health care is top notch.

The country system is working 24/7.

Quality of life is 100%.

she was just looking for followers for her YouTube channel, and she believes that since she in Canada Nigerians would swallow whatever she vomits as the truth.
