kaytytty: i do nt blame d christians because their religion allows them to practice same sex marriage such as lesbianism and gay,it also gives right to prostitution,it also does nt support early marriage but it support casual sex well am nt suprised it was a religion introduced after a long reign of slavery so their souls re enslaved n yet they rejoice in immorality n still they claim they want to b like christ

SimonAndal: So? I'm sure I'm the first to kill a certain species of cockroach, you don't see me making a fuss.

Willzkid: I'm humbled that Mrs. Chima graced my thread
I also hate it when ppl paste full list of viewers witout a cogent reason

mr.phenomenal:
I couldn't agree more.. Canada is a place where you can go to work and leave your doors unlocked without fear of burglary.. hence the mentality of accountability.

musKeeto: Chasis no.
My year of *addChristianBullshit*

BoboYekini: See how folks are making mouth, feeling superior 'i am a canadian permanent resident, PR e.t.c.'. Instead of being ashamed of yourselves. I dont blame una, i blame GEJ.

tunnytox: @factbox
Please i take God beg you leave Canada after finishing your studies and come back to Nigeria, na God I take beg una ok u don hear?
People like factbox are people who travelled abroad with the expectation of a red carpet welcome, factbox and the likes taught they'll be plucking money on trees, she perharps taught within 6 months she can come back to Nigeria to oppress others. You're comparing a country where once you finish your studies you can get a job, use your earnings to rent or buy your own home, car, and live a good life to a country that if you don't know somebody or warm some people's bed you can't get a job?

If after working in Canada, you still don't have money in your pocket you need to ask yourself why you have been living beyond your own means. In Canada health is free (of course you have to pay for your own medications same as UK but if you're on low income you're bound to get some help from govt), Child benefit in Canada is about $400 monthly for each child, you also get help towards paying for your child care if you have to work or study and so many other benefits that make you feel the impact of the government abound.

So when next you want to discourage people from migrating to a place like Canada, tell them its because its not a place for handouts but a place to work for your own money rather than posting about your non existent 'suffering'

My advise for people who want to migrate is to go on the right visa, be prepared to face challenges, have a focus and most importantly don't expect to be a millionaire immediately you landed, they don't plcuk money on trees in Canada or any other country YOU WORK FOR IT!

factbox: curious city! forget d fact dat i'm a student buh i meet citizens everyday here and i know wat's up no problem. u seem like someone dat will understand a bit of wats going on abroad but remember i was very independent even from back home, also so can make little change after skool buh BILLS WILL SUCK IT UP FROM U AT D END OF D MONTH. pls PEEPS dont always think life is better in some places than others evry place have their own pros and cons..............
Think of this OLUWASEUN OSEWA D FOUNDER OF NAIRALAND DINT STAY ABROAD TO COME UP WIF DIS WONDER IDEA.
nigerian youth go and brainstorm and do sumthing meaningful for urselves and stop blaming govt. mtschewwwwww

factbox: CANADAIK! Stop confusing ppl here u are permanent resident in manitoba and u haven't really gone to d hospital though and u think every public facilities are free, try to get cancer and see if govt pays or not then u come back to tell a different story. What is d nature of ur job and tell me how wonderfully well u are doing, DO U THINK CANADIAN GOVERNMENT DEY CRAZE BEFORE DEM WAN STOP D SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM, IF U DONT KNOW? THINGS ARE FAST CHANGING AND I'M NOT READY TO BANTER WORDS WIF ANYBODY HERE. GOODNITE.

justwise: Lower your expectation, the facilities you are enjoying in Canada was paid for by somebody and its only fair you pay your fair share. Can you tell me what Nigerian Govt does with the tax you pay in Nigeria?

If Canada is hell as you are screaming you can take the next available flight back to Nigeria, you will not be stopped by Canadian authority.

sorry to go a bit off-topic here, but please wots d current exchange rate for a CANADIAN (not american) dollar to naira?

Curious_city: Guy, leave @factbox alone. She is a lady.Maybe she thought people dash out money in Canada like in Naija. So she is shocked to pay for her drinks/food when she has a date. That is part of the cultural shock. That she pays little health insurance as an international student is what she lamenting. Assuming she is to pay for consulting and lab work(the minimum a Dr takes per visit is ~$30).
@factbox, today is Canada Day, pray and thank God for the country to continue in a system that works and also reflect how U can help produce working n transparent institutions in naija when U return.

factbox: Hynmmmmmmm! after reading all the correspondent posts so far, here is my advice for all our youth back home, before i write anything i will like to aknowledge some ppl dat will get back @ me for posting dis simple truth. buh d truth still needs to be told anyways, There is no where like home HONESTLY! here i am in Hamilton Ontario Canada, i am a student here and i have couple of naija folks here too ranging from young to adults.
No big deal about abroad to be very factual ppl come back home to tell us different stories which is far different from what i saw when i got here. There is serious suffer head here despite d fact dat there are all those facilities Tonnytox talked about but yet we pay handsomely to enjoy them all, what is d essence of good facilities without money in d pocket moreso who are those lying to u ppl dat free medical for everybody dat are citizens here BLANTANT LIE ppl here just get part of it paid by the government but d biggest part of it is paid by d invalid himself.
Alot of lies ppl come back to tell us but my advice here is seeing is believing because there are lots of things to talk about buh i have no tym to type for long. EAST OR WEST HOME IS D BEST .we dont always understand dis until we see for ourselves,PEOPLE ALWAYS BELIEVE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE INSTEAD OF WETTING THE GRASS THEY ARE STANDING ON.
When u get here u will realise dat (Canada is urs to discover).
THIS IS A WONDERFUL TRUTH DAT NOT SO MANY PPL HERE WILL LIKE TO TELL because THEY WANT OTHERS TO COME EXPERIENCE SAME WIF THEM............... my little coin.

i can just understand wetin people dey go do for inside dat heavy cold called canada mteeeeew
