And who told you people are not depressed abroad. Lots of people here in canada are battling depression. A lot can happen where you are, either their is no much commitment from your end or your time hasn’t just come yet.

I wish I was happier than I thought here in canada , you won’t understand until you come in here.

Omo, calm down o.

Just get PR move back to maybe Ghana or naija. No point living in Canada if it destroys your soul. Or you understand the game, work with the coin you're giving in life, and play to move up there.

Then be equally ruthless in mate selection, since you've been at the bottom of the selection before and know that place very well. The top always feels better than the bottom.

As a man, always position your self in a place where you'll have "comparative advantages". Meaning that a Nigerian with a western passport will have far more romantic opportunities in Africa than in the West.

For example, Davido or Yemi Alade will never blow like they did in Nigeria if they are in the West. Same as Burna boy, wizkid, etc. Your home will always crown you.

Better be a lion in a jungle, that a dog in a city. This life, na like game, know your cards and play to your advantage.

So don't ever catch yourself complaining or being angry at the game, it's the way of loosers. Don't do it. Get angry with yourself that you allowed yourself to be beaten.

Life is not for the weak. Toughen up man.
'Loosers' are those who are not happy about and reluctant to conform with the deceptive life most people now live just for materialism. The devil is truly in charge of this life!

Las las we'll all learn to live this life of lies since that is what the world now want ( especially ladies).

All that glitters are not Gold bro... you will come to terms with cons: Racism, loneliness(you can be married with children and still be lonely), slaving, police oppression... anxiety and depression. And you will never be rich if you don't have a special talent. (Standard of living is very high small pay check big taxes and bills)

Prons: Jobs, beautiful environments.. clean people (the are all hypocrite) . Security, good infrastructures

you will feel it more if you grow up in Nigeria. You will crave home honestly.

Personally I regret Japa despite the fact that I have been almost everywhere. I wish is stayed back in Nigeria. However because I wanted a good passport for my children it is still no regret. (I am living very well mind you... very good apartment for an avarage rich person will live in...children attend of one of the most expensive schools around and I live very comfortably) but I still regret leaving Nigeria.


My brother how you go enjoy all this things including good passports for children and you still regret leaving Nigeria 😂😂 if you regret leaving then you have to regret the passports too, you can’t eat your cake and have it , you would have stayed back in Nigeria and enjoy then no good passport or future for children because Nigerian passport ain’t getting better soon

I wonder when you will go back to naija since you have seen the reality, you should be writing this from naija so that people can take you seriously.

He has his right to express how he feels about being there, the same way you have the right to express yours. Let people speak their minds abeg.

If you are a hard working person , you will make it abroad , you need to be resilient and strong with good mental health , it is solely meant for independent minded people oh , there are so many cheap things people enjoy in Nigeria that they can’t enjoy in abroad … There is free money in Nigeria if you know your way but there is no free money anywhere in abroad … I have lived abroad before the Japa word was formed, when I moved to london back then my friend made me understood that it will be very tough for me so I was prepared mentally but guess what God did miracle and used a lot of strangers to help me and I didn’t suffer , it was grace of God and I hd some money too then , I was only 21 then oh , I missed Nigeria cuz I loved Lagos so much but in life you will sacrifice… There are many benefits of living abroad, many are suffering in abroad while some are making it , you just need to be smart and always updated and you will be fine ! There is no manna in abroad … it’s always good to visit first before you move there, I live in Nigeria now for the past 12 years , e no easy but I know my way around things and lemme just say na God , I think Nigeria makes us lazy, you oh one month rent you are relaxed but in abroad every month oh na rent lol … America remains the best place to move to , it gives you options, if you are tried of one state , you move to another …. Canada has never been a choice country for Nigerians , people go there because of their PR card and easy student visa …. You can never compare it to America !! Many people I know moved from uk to America but till date I am yet to see someone move from America to UK 😂😂😂

You will hardly see someone in America complaining bitterly about America , they can complain just like every other country but not like people in uk and canada who are always crying about one thing or the other online …. Many people that Japa in the last 10 years are not built for abroad life … Many lack the proper orientation to live in a foreign land.. You can’t enjoy abroad money and also have Nigerian liberty , weather etc

I went through the thread and read some people looking for white woman to befriend.

Wow...see life.

A white woman sent me a DM some months back asking to be friends with me. She is in USA.

We used to chat. She was always the one sending me messages. I used to respond.

Sometimes she would snap her painting and send to me. Or snap her cat. Funny thing sha.

But I didn't take it serious then.

Another one was a guy. I think he is gay. This is because he was always sending me pics of men in sex positions and he would say he wanted to do that with me.

I had to end the chat with that one cos he was creepy.

If I really wanted to Japa to the USA, I already had options. It's just to play my cards right but I was not interested.

One thing I know in life is that, if u have the oil of God upon your head, they are the ones that will come looking for you wherever you are. You won't stress yourself.

And Yes, they both reached out to me through FACEBOOK.

Do not underestimate that app.

I'm out.

It's really sad.

Nigerians still see Canada and the UK and also the US as it was like twenty years ago. They still see the UK like James Bond movies, and the US like nollywood potrays.

France also has joined their league. If you land Paris Central bus station Bercy) for example, the kind of smell and urine, and people sleeping on benches will shock you.

If you walk there at night and act like a JJC, you'll be robbed or maybe stabbed if you prove stubborn. When people point to the decline of the West, things like this are what they saw.

Canada own disappoint me pass because it's a really huge country, with uncountable resources and little population, but the citizens are living like beggars. Na wa

Canada is beautiful: those weren’t lies.

There’s more money in America that’s the only reason why it’s better than Canada. And for those who can’t tolerate the cold, there are warm and hot states in America where they can survive.

Apart from those two things, Canada is awesome.

It’s expensive tho. But so is America

The decline has to do with the following:

-The rise of China (major), asian tigers and other brics countries. This collected a significant share of GDP from

-Socialism being practiced in the countries you mentioned (US is full blown capitalism). It's a huge burden to take care of the aging population in these countries based on socialism

-OPEC+. The alignment of Russia, Saudi and Iran to make oil price expensive. Russia starting Ukraine war to teach Europe (Germany) a lesson. Germany is restarting their coal plants

Others won't see your deficiencies as you see them. They are girls that consider themselves ugly but to me, if not for self control, I for don knack her.

Just play with the cards you have. Do skin care, polish your English, so you can speak like a professor, dress well and have perfume. Also gym and eat for functionality.

By eating for functionality, it's to eat in a way that lead you to a goal, or to maintain it, not for taste. You can eat few times a week for taste, but eat to look fine, healthy and strong.

And have something doing with your life. Women by their very nature are integrators. They are looking for a man that have an admirable lifestyle to integrate into.

Do the above, and though you might not get most women, but you'll get few, afterall, sebi na only one woman you need. Or are you polygamist in nature? grin
