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.
pcguru1: I won't lie you are quite right...........however having left the country what exists out there is way much more lucrative than here. Besides they are not mutually exclusive. You can be there and still acquire. When I was in Atlanta the amount of business opportunities there just by having a foreign passport is something I cannot ignore. Nigeria you will still be subjected to issue regardless of wealth. My life could be cut short , health is not something I can guarantee. I'll be honest there's better value for life outside. I'm not patriotic so anywhere that pays me is where I'll set my head. My only fear is Westernization to my children. I don't want my kids fed with western ideologies like Homosexuality, Gender identity and all that Liberal madness.
@bold:
Hahahahahaha!
Since anywhere is fine, why don't you look for more conservative societies?
pcguru1: Its not bad, the roads are tiled, good electricity but the main issue is jobs. I have actually sat down and thought about it, if you can work remotely for an organization, your quality of life would be much saner outside lagos.
Oyinlade336: As a matter of fact now Banks are not even ready to diapense cash at the atm anymore, they prefer You use Pos and get the daily charges and monthly target from you, and Your there Telling me words as if you are Drunk while typing.. Nonsense
Yes
I heard most of the POS points are owned by bankers.
iv2000: Dear Modo9, this comparison is inconsequential just as it's titled "Opinion". How can you even compare Nigeria educational system with that of Canada? Do Nigeria have a functional school and yet you scramble overseas for degrees?
Do Nigerians really feel comfortable paying for epileptic so called power? And that's what you enjoyed over in Canada uninterrupted!
Where's the Healthcare system in Nigeria? When you travel out for common check up! It's laughable why make those kind of post in the public.
Imagine a family friend who left Nigeria to Canada as a health practioner within a space of less than a year...Feb 2019- Dec 2020 building a twin duplex of 4 and 5 bedroom in Nigeria! A feat he couldn't achieve all his years of working in a country of his own. Please my dear, things are bad in Nigeria, let's not pretend.
You are doing same thing you are accusing the OP of.
Your family friend is earning in CAD and spending in Naira.
A comparable feat would be the family friend earning in CAD and building duplexes in Canada.
CAD is almost 300 times stronger than the Naira. As a result, there is no basis for comparison. Even if the economy of Canada and Nigeria is same, Canada would win on the basis of money.
Other comparison outside financials would be a more intelligent discussion.
Kaybex007: who is doing well in Nigeria aside those who are committing fraudulent act, do you know how many companies have closed down, relocated, do you know how many business owners have died on due to depression, if business owners are doing good, they won't continue to lay-off staff every time. Naija is not a good place to live except our leaders do the needful. 30 years ago, was depression as rampant as this. it is only when the majority are doing well you can say the country is good, you can't justify the well-being of a whole country through the enjoyment of few. peace be unto you.
@bold:
Please stop saying things you do not know about.
Some people earn in Naira and care for their families in UK, US and Canada.
koyyes: Immigrants( Indians, Chinese and others) on quora have complained bitterly about Canada. Some are thinking of heading to the US or UK.
Canadian PRs are doing a great job trying to inflate Canada's GDP with immigration.
Job opportunities are only available to immigrants who schooled there.
Only married immigrants enjoy Canada. If you are single, you will probably die of loneliness because Canadians are generally anti social. Their activities are somewhat robotic.
If you go there to school, make as much friends as possible.
Interesting.
A relative in the US (grounded as they have spent over 20yrd there) advised Canada to US right now.
HeWrites: ''Before You Consider Bobrisky's Advice, Remember He Is Not A Girl''- BBNaija's RicoSwavey (Video)
BBNaija star, RicoSwavey has warned ladies against heeding the advice given by popular crossdresser, Bobrisky, Igbere TV reports.
Bobrisky on Sunday January 3, released a video in which he mocked ''good girls'.
He asked the girls who have good moral standards where it took them in 2020. He advised them to jettison it and release themselves to money spenders.
Reacting to his post, Rico advised ladies not to listen to him as he, Bobrisky, is not a girl. He stressed that being a good girl never goes out of fashion.
goodmorning40: I have seen where this type of issue created a big problem in the family There was an occasion cow was killed and meat shared, the packing of the meat was to be according to seniority, one of the wives made attempt to pack the other objected stressing she is the senior wife since her husband is older than the other wife husband, the other wife refused stressing that she was married first came into the family first so therefore she is senior
kosi2018: Good evening all and a happy new year to you all, Pls I want to seek the opinions of the Igbo's in the house. My husband is the first son out of four boys. My husband and his immediate younger brother brought/introduced their wives to be to their parents at the same time, their parents are not together, so we met their father for the first time in the city. The younger brother's wife to be arrived before I did, and we were received by our father in-law to be very well. That same period, Christmas period, we also travelled to the east to be introduced to their mother, i arrived first and their mother welcomed me well and told me I am her first daughter in law because they brought me to her first. The younger brother got married before his elder brother. What prompted this write up is that on many occasions, my brother in-law will always say his wife is the senior wife, that she was married before me, I will just laff and smile because I'm not dragging anything with her, age wise I'm senior to her. I told my husband, he said I shouldn't bother my self that where he stands in d family that is where I stand. This December while in d village he made reference to it again, i told my husband what his brother said when we arrived the city, he quarreled with me for not telling him while we were still in the village, I just told me I don't want them to quarrel. So pls, I need elders to say one or two things concerning this matter, so that I will know how to reply him when next he says such.. Thanks. pls i will be glad if this hit front page
Maybe I just have no tolerance for all this 'he said, she said' and drama with people I neither live nor work with.
Whether your BIL and his wife claim to be the first wife or not, how does it affect you?
Do you live together? Do they pay your salary into her account because she is your senior wife?
Your husband has told you not to bother yourself so what is the problem?
Why don't you save this energy for when REAL issues come up (if they do)?
Abeg, leave this pettiness for 2020. It is because you greet your BIL more than one sentence that's why he is telling you his wife is the senior one.
Stefenijoan002: Why are most Nigeria celebrity so dumb !how does dying explain showing off ur nude bobi display on sm.rather than living righteous for your creator you going nude .thank God I hardly choose role model among Nigeria celeb.
Irrespective of your religion and faith, Amen / Amin / Ahmen etc has always been the most popular way of responding to a prayer.
Speaker of the United States senate Nancy pelosi and her fellow democrats feel it discriminates against women and have already made moves to ban words such as men, father, uncle etc and other male or masculine terms from being used on the floor of the senate. One of the ways they are launching their all gender inclusive campaign is by including a new word "awoman" into their opening prayers. Watch the short video below and see for yourselves.
So if they remove the male gendered terms, what are they replacing it with?
And people would go to the church of the person who said this prayer?
adaragbotemi: we need to be careful of what we write here . some homes will definitely be affected just because of what Moyo did . Some women will innocently pay for this because they married husbands men should be matured in handling this after all women have always at the receiving end and still take care of your babies you have outside your home . so why are you saying all this , stereotyping women wont work here cause you guys will be hurting yourself more and the innocent children . It is not as if you guys can do without a woman not all women are wayward , treat your woman like a queen and she will treat you like a king . men make this mistake a lot . Thhey maltreat their wives and want love in return . You cant treat me like a pinch of salt and expect me to treat you like a bag of rice .
Kokaine: Omo.... These comments don dey make me fear make I no lie. Its like there are two sides to this abroad thing oh. Maybe I've been seeing only one side. I have a good job here I don't know if going abroad is worth it. Make I no go do watin I go regret later
How good is your job? What is the prospect for growth?
NoToPile: You are entitled to your opinion but please don't misquote the bible.
Don't misquote the bible to prove points, you can post your simping and alphaing matters without heresy.
All scripture are inspired by the holyspirit, you saying Paul wrote a portion because of some reason you cooked up is not acceptable because you are indirectly saying it was not Inspired.
Hahahahaha
Paul was a SIMP, I shook and stopped reading there.
Same Paul a lot of people called a misogynist because of his perceived views on women.
Shelumiel: Op, since you have relied on God this long, why not rely on Him finding you a perfect spouse? Please consider making God your counselor on this matter, and lastly, try as much as possible to avoid getting advice through social media, because you will get the worst kind of advice.
Thattallgirl: Op, pray the prayer Abraham's servant prayed to get a wife for Isaac. Pray everyday that God should give u good success and send His angel before you to bring you before His appointed wife for you. Depend on His grace to lead you and He'll give you a prudent wife. It may take time but just trust Him. He never fails. A prudent wife is really a treasure these days.
While you're also searching, ask your Abba Father to build you into a loving husband, a man who'll love his wife like Christ loves the church. Don't depend on men to give u a wife. Commit every plan into His hands and go with the promptings that come to your heart. I sincerely wish you success!
@Tri3C,
The posters above have said it all.
If you can testify to God's grace all through these years, why don't you rely on Him for the second most important aspect of your life?
Relying on God aka praying to Him for direction is different from going to Church to search where everyone has a cloak of piety.
Nanaborga: See the kind useless thread wey man dey create , now watch how this vaginal puppies insult and downgrade us , guy we need to flog you .
Ladies know guys don’t cheat with emotions so that’s not a threat to their relationship with their husband , we cheat because we just want to taste a different soup or sample a new wine not because we are in love , but the reverse is the case when women cheat . Moreover some of our spouse are already with the mindset that men are polygamous in nature .
Abeg don’t create this type of thread again , these are the type of thread that sow evil thoughts in their heart , I take GOD beg with
If this was not seriously written, it would have won the comment of the thread.
