MICIBAMA:
Send Anonymous Messages on Facebook: Here's an article on how to send an anonymous messages on Facebook. Sometimes businesses can use the element of surprise to their advantage.

For example, if there is a popular product reviewer on Facebook and you'd like to know if she would be interested in reviewing your product—but you don't want her to know that you're from the company at first, lest she give a biased review—you can contact her on Facebook anonymously.

However, at the same time, you want to be sure she knows you're professional. Rather than creating a fake Facebook account and writing on their Facebook walls, use any email account to contact Facebook users anonymously.

1. Log in to your Facebook account. Enter the name of Facebook user you want to contact anonymously into the "Search for people, places and things" box. Names will appear in a drop-down menu as you type. Highlight and click on the Facebook user's name to visit her user page.

2. Highlight the Facebook user's username, which appears after "facebook.com/" in the URL of the Facebook user's profile page. This name is not always the Facebook user's real name and could be a nickname.

3. Press "Ctrl-C" to copy the username.

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.

Reference:
Sorry ma'am. But as a Nigerian living in Nigeria, highly exposed to Nigeria (been to all 36 states, lived, schooled and worked in the west, north, middle-belt, south-south and south-east for a minimum of 6 years in each location) there are a few misconceptions you carry and some spot on.

First of all we are financially morally deficient across board. (generations, classes, demographics, all)
Yep, we are loud, boisterous, apt to speak, slow to listen and ruminate. Our cultures are ultra expressive.

But no ma.

Till now we do have animals all over the place. In cities, towns and villages domestication of animal husbandry is still part of the DNA of the average Nigerian. I visited an apartment building in a highbrow part of Abuja and was surprised to see poultry birds hoping up and down the staircases. You must be all too familiar with the farmers/herdsmen crises which is symptomatic of a cultural belief in the rights of animals to civil liberties.

Till now human beings are still sacrificed for mystical powers and spiritual interventions in all parts of Nigeria, north to south, east to west. From grave robbing to kidnapping/murder for rituals, cannibalistic practices, underwear harvesting, and so on which are clear indications that ancient traditional occultic beliefs still hold sway. The human cadaver may not be sold at the high street supermarket or over the internet today but the statistics and incidents clearly point towards a strong underground belief.

Finally and personally, I do agree with your friends that we not only eat too much, but eat very badly. What you described you ate is not just unhealthy but unsustainable and I do sincerely hope you begin to modify your diet before it becomes a habit/lifestyle.

Cheers.

Why not buy Palm oil when it is cheaper
and sell when the price rises up.
around May this year I can't still remember my mother
telling me to buy Palm oil and store, that the price is cheaper now I think it was around 8K for 25 litres then.
Now the current price is 14K minimum to 16K

I will have love to start the biz next year but nah cash be the problem

UndauntedYOCA:
Business but you need funds you know?! So, I'll work, save up, set up business then businesses while I still work till the business/businesses become really stable and have expanded then most likely quit the job especially if it doesn't pay well.
In the meantime, I'm acquiring lot of skills that can turn into businesses. I've acquired about 3-4 and have taken 2-3 online courses, I'll add another soon. But be aware that this is Nigeria and anything can happen but as the saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day'.
