muhammaduyusufu: If that's the case, Nigerians based in Canada would have bought all the lands and businesses in Nigeria.
One thing about abroad is that the system is designed in a way that as you are making the money, the system is taking it back from you. If you are able to save $200 every month after taxes, expenses and bills, you will thank God.
Using Toronto as example. If you make minimum wage of $2800 per month, your rent alone is average $2,200 for one bedroom. You will still pay phone bill ($90), electricity bill ($100), water bill ($80), heating bill ($100), insurance for car ($150), food ($250) e.t.c
How much do you think will remain? Well, I live here in Toronto, and have done so for years. I have worked in many places and now run a firm. I also lived in London for 15 years. Save your ignorance for people who don’t know these things. If you want to be genuinely educated, I can give you a minute. Otherwise, stop speaking to what what you don’t know! |

It's all nonsense. Unless there is laziness and real immigration challenges, they should be able to make the CAD equivalent of the amount in a year. Of course, transitions may create challenges, but these stories are often simplistic and silly generalizations. |

I lived in the UK as a student for many years, and made far more that.
I know many professionals making $11-20k monthly before tax all around me in Canada. Some lawyers and doctors make far more than the $20k sef/month.
Yes, it depends on your career path and where you are.
Japa is great. There are many who would have been nobodies in Nigeria who are building great lives across the West and financially successful.
Dele lives abroad; his family lives there as I type this. Dele now frequents Nigeria because of close friendship with politicians - Governor Adeleke, Atiku, Afikuyomi et. The things he sees with these guys are the reason for his latest comments. |

Canada is better. I live here around the GTA and crawl well. Plenty parties-birthdays, wedding anniversaries among others.
A number of lounges, clubs & restaurants are popping up daily in Toronto, Vaughan, Etobicoke among others- Festac Lounge is a good place to start and they will love you if you are good. The rebranded ATL-Naira Lounge- is great too. La Shish is good too.
I can make introductions if you ever make it here.
I lived and studied in London and a few places in England for 14 years. Yes, South-East, East and North-West London has many Nigerians and places. It’s all largely poverty HQ. Canada has changed many professional lives and given many modest wealth in 2-3 years in ways that the UK can’t give in 20-30 years.
Just ensure that you have secured and permanent immigration. Reach out for ideas if you want.
For Nigerians who like to criticize Canada, tell them they know nothing. Great opportunities for financial security and professional prosperity abound. Ignore the noise of students and people with no permanent immigration. |

Ttalk: That's exactly my thought on this projection, it look like social media gist.
35% for LP in Lagos is not possible, that's just the truth.
35% in Lagos is like the entire population of Anambra and Enugu state, when the population of Igbo in Lagos is not more than 10%.
We shall see the LG that would deliver 35% vote for LP when Jimi Agbaje the son of the soil could not pull such figure in Lagos when he contested Labour won’t get up to 11% in Lagos, and won’t get more than 5% in any other SW state. I don’t know where these guys get the data or patterns for their wild speculations from. Many young people don’t understand our politics unfortunately.

Family › Re: Can Child Support Amount Be Included In Prenup For Future Sake by apolonius(m): 2:43pm On Jan 17, 2023*. Modified: 8:21am On Jan 18, 2023 |
Nyascobar1414: No, Op such doesn't exist in the west;if in any case of divorce, when your source of Income is being looked at, about 50% or 70% of what you earned will be given to your wife and kid/s as spousal support... Even though she signs the prenup.. During divorce or court cases to secure for spousal support, she can say she was mentally ill when she signed for the prenup; trust me if you guys are in the west,the whole game will be tossed against you as a man..
I'll advice you to keep her here in Nigeria,send her monthly Income for the kids,(and also go for DNA test before you start taking responsibility of your child/ren...
Though(as per body no be firewood) she might be fvking other guys, but I think that is better than loosing your properties and money in the name of marriage...
Your money and properties are the only things that can be loyal to you as a man.. If you need loyalty from a living thing, Get a dog.
The west is all about women and children..
MGTOW! This is NOT true. I practice family law in the West. Canada and other countries have child support calculation guidelines that are founded on the gross income of the paying parent and the number of children they have. Child support is an automatic obligation paid to WHOEVER has custody or primary residence of the child (ren). This is not always the mother. Spousal support is NOT automatic. But normally a spouse (NOT only wife) who is not working and who is financially dependent on the working and more financially secured spouse MAY be entitled to some spousal support. Length of marriage and other factors will be relevant considerations. There is something called equalization of the assets… This is another thing that may come up. Suffices to say that divorce does NOT favour women automatically as many assume. Child support calculations will depend on CURRENT income. A prenup can’t capture that. |
Romance › Re: Nigerian Men And Women Are Sexually Frustrated And Lonely In America And Canada by apolonius(m): 5:36pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
Ednut03: Yeah. There are Nigerian Men in America who has not had a decent chance at sex for years. The only chance at sex they get is when they visit Naija once in a while. You ain't even getting a white chick to talk to you or give you her number if you ain't ridiculously good looking, dress well and speak really high.
Same apply to a woman and it's even worse. Men are thirsty, unlike Women, and she might get sexed and few attentions until the sex lasts. But she's not going to get any commitment if she doesn't match the beauty standard. So, she will be lonely too. Nigerian Men are still better positioned than her. And her woes even worsen if she's above 30. They rarely get white men. No they don't, because Nigerian women also fall short of the look And beauty standard
And if you're in dating app as an average black man (you're bleeped if you're ugly), you'll, 90% of the time be swept left over.
Hence, many Nigerian guys are frustrated and won't talk about it
Don't believe the stupid lies we peddle on here about white woman loving black for our dick game. It's a lie. If you ain't 100% attractive to her, your dick game doesn't matter. You need to be tall too, because their men are really tall. You can't be 5"9 and be expecting any reasonable result scoring a white chic, it ain't happening Lies, lies and lies. I live and roll with ballers. The wives are crying and reporting to pastors. ATL was a place for free ‘ps’…Toop Lounge too. EST 2020, La Shish and Festac Lounge too…All in the GTA. We have many women to ‘create moments’ with, it’s the time and the wives that limit us. If you are lonely and desperate, get on Seeking Arrangements…You will be overwhelmed. Like all things women, budget $100-200 per experience. |

garfield1: That obi will win rivers is a fait acconpli but by how many votes is the issue of contest.wike is clearly fighting pro atiku groups and voters in rivers.the 200k polling unit aides is meant to prevent people from voting atiku.most of atiku's supporters or henchmen in rivers are unfortunately from ikwerre where wike hold sway.the rivers campaign dg maeba is from ogoni where magnus controls.the sekibos are from okrika where patience,Evans bipi and ateke tom are pro wike.secondus is from andoni LGA and tele ikuru is ready to deal with him.based on the above,I dont see how atiku will get 25% or exceed 100k votes.less I forget,hon dagogo is also supporting atiku but is hiding.
For tinubu asari dokubo is fully supporting him and he controls half of kalabari.ex apc chair flag amachree controls the other half of kalabari plus the apc candidate tonye cole is from here.magnus Abe the sdp candidate dominates ogoni which gives bloc votes and is in alliance with tinubu.the minister of state environment hon odum UDI controls abolga and will deliver here.the chairman of uniport gov council sen uchendu will try to deliver emohua as chidi Lloyd will be neutral.hon wihioka will try to deliver ikwerre LGA as the chair nwanosike will be neutral.hon Ephraim nwuzi will bring votes from etche land while hon promise dike will try to deliver oyigbo.. Obi win Rivers? Never! You are always speculating with emotions. Stop reading social media posts to gauge political patterns. |

Because the current APC Chair was the PDP strongman controlling the state politics for many years-1999 until the Akwe Doma years. For the first time, the 3 living governors of the state are on one side. David Ombuagu can’t do much to help Atiku. |
