frozen70: Read his comments. His brother has been trying to bring him and it hasn't worked. Seems like multiple times from his replies, which is probably why that one has gotten tired and wants to give him money to start business. It's not like his brother issues visa. |

LadyIE: - The space you use to carry palm oil will be better for other things, they sell them at African stores here. - Go online and type daycare quote Winnipeg, you’ll find figures for stuff like that. Then search for them and call or email them if you want to get ahead. - There’s a bank that opens account online, but you can’t use it till you arrive. I don’t advise you do though. By the time you come you’ll need an appointment to open an account. That’ll be a good time to talk about getting a credit card so you can function here and start building your credit score early. - Carry enough dollars to tide you for like two months when you land. Then use these money exchange services to bring your Naira over. (Fmexchange, lemonade, africhange) Goodluck! 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Family / Re: My Wife Is Always Sad Whenever I Send Money To My Family by CanadianNaija: 4:52pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
I think it depends on how you both handle your family income. In my house we have a fixed percentage of our income that goes towards family expenses and projects. After that nobody asks the other what they do with their money. Whatever we send to our parents is our business. Tell your wife to go and get a job and start earning money too. She should be caring for her family. As an Inlaw you should really just give her family gifts(birthdays, festive periods), not carry their monthly expenses except they’re hungry people. As long as you’re meeting your finance goals as a family, what you do with your disposable income isn’t her business. In fact, you should have scolded here very severely the first time she started that behaviour. Just make sure you’re not being irresponsible with money, because your nuclear family comes first. Your Mum is infact extended. 2 Likes |

Sammychi90: Looking for a room or basement where? Do you know how big Canada is? You guys need to learn how to ask questions so that you can get answers from people that know. Eg: “I'm a student coming to Canada in ....... Date, looking for a room or basement in ..... city. Does anyone have any leads, or could you point me to where I can find accommodation?” To answer you: - Search on kijiji. - Facebook marketplace (put your destination as location when searching), search room for rent on Google + your destination. - Ask on the Canada student visa thread, you might find someone heading to your destination or school. - Ask here if there's a WhatsApp group for Nigerians in your city, join if there is and ask your question there. Folks might point you in the right direction. Good luck! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

SaintUlot: The Op didn't post complete story. The wife created a thread and apparently she lives in Naija. He travelled after they got married, and they have been contributing to build it together for years. I'm trying to understand how the people commenting here completely disregards the wife’s financial involvement as if she's not a person. If I were in that marriage, my husband will repay every amount I saved to put in that house. Also, that will be the end of any joint investment in that family. His parents will lose their respect in the presence of their daughter Inlaw for being so badly behaved and disrespectful, and the fact that people here condone and justify this behaviour explains why Nigeria is able to go to shit as a country. Our leaders are really a reflection of our people. 4 Likes 1 Share |
Family / Re: My Husband Parent Is About Taking Our Property by CanadianNaija: 11:01am On Oct 07, 2021 |
teemy: Just one question. Would you give this same advise to the husband if he came here and said his wife’s parents moved into a house that he and she contributed financially for without telling her. Would you also tell him to forget the money and not let friction enter their marriage? Their house is also not in the village by the way, what from the both of them have written, it's in the city. They pay rent for her husband's parents. 2 Likes |

adesbaba: CIBN is the most useless banking certification anyone can think of achieving. It's useless in Naija so imagine how much more useless it is when you leave the shores of the country. You don't need to go back to school for banking since you have the experience already, you'll just have to decide what area of banking you want to apply to when you arrive. Do you want to deal with investments, mortgages, treasury etc. It will determine wether you should start studying for CSc or IFC (which most new comers use as an in for financial advisor, financial planner jobs), or if you should just face your CFA. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Alchemist01: Is it 40mins by bus or car? If it's by car, it means that it will take longer by bus and may be too far for you Also the basement apartment might be good for you if it's in summer because it will be �, and if it's a short term arrangement. That way you could land there, and have a month or so to get a better place since you're on ground. This advice will mostly be dependent on if your agreement is month to month or you have to sign a one year lease. |

oluayebenz: “She might just be a girlfriend?” Will this same tone and understanding for this man’s behaviour be the same if it were his wife in this situation? We really should have empathy, and try to be reasonable. 4 months of not speaking to your spouse and not knowing if he's dead or alive shouldn't be dismissed as a woman not being understanding. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Lostchild: Maybe the warri and delta you mentioned is a different one from where I grew up in the south, but having an accent is different from purposely misspelling a word. Deltans can claim to be anything they want, no one cares. But you can not rewrite the spelling of our tribe. We are Igbos not Ibos. |

There's nothing like IBO, its IGBO. The person doesn't need to identify as igbo, just don't come and misspell the name biko. You don't see people saying they're yeruba. You're either Yoruba or you're not. 5 Likes |
