I have a soft spot for her and my flesh is very, very weak.

Do you think I'm right? Or maybe I'm just being paranoid?

I'm sorry to say but many of you reason like kids. I have no intention of sleeping with her. I'm principled never to sleep with any of my exes. Do you have any idea how many women are on this planet? What is wrong with the lot of you? I just find it hard to turn her down because she's such a good person.

I'm not lonely anything

I concur

Olubee22:
Actually, extroverts are likely to feel lonelier that introverts. An introvert doesn't care about going out and can stay indoors for days.

Kriss216:





I like this your boyfriend oo.


If actually you know what it takes to ask a Nigerian girl out


Your boyfriend suppose win Time's Man of the Year.

AugustusA1:
If truly you make such sum in Nigeria , pls stay right there bro. I’m in NY, I work in govt Hosp, start pay 90k. That may sound a lot but like others mention despite with that sum you may need a second job to be able to save up otherwise bro you wil just be surviving. Taxes is about 30-33% of 90k, then home mortgage is about 3k monthly. Car insurance and feeding join bro u will barely save 25k at the end of the year with a single job. Pls trust me you better off making such sum in Nigeria.

pocohantas:


You have said it all.

The OP, just like many other homebased guys are steady in a dick-measuring-contest with diasporans. I would never understand why.

Stay your lane, let them stay theirs. They no kuku send you sef.

Fully endorsed.

Great narrative, thanks for sharing.

I relocated to Canada through the express entry mode 2 years ago, one major advice I give everyone is follow all the steps laid down by Canada and you’ll be fine. When they say come with proof of fund of 6million naira for a family of 3, please try to get at least more than half of that money when landing, it’ll make life easier for you. I’ll be honest with my story by sharing breakdown of life and how we survived.


One important thing to note when relocating is give yourself one year to build your foundation, I can assure you that you’ll be fine. Another is not to be lazy or proud to do any odd job, as there is dignity of labour here.


This is my story from the day I landed:

We came with more than three-quarter of the recommended POF for a family of 3. From that money, we got an Airbnb where we stayed for 2 weeks, started house hunting, found something we liked and paid 3 months rent upfront (this is to reduce the tension of looking for job to pay bills).


In Canada, most times your experience is disregarded, so people go back to school, do certifications or anything to make your credentials equivalent to Canada’s. So we knew this and gave ourselves one year to work on that while we take up minimum wage jobs. We landed in October, my husband got a job at a warehouse In November, I’m lazy and didn’t have strength for all those tasking jobs of standing especially for cashiers in Walmart and malls, so I was searching for customer service job, and luckily I got a clerk job. My husband made 2,500 while I made 2,200. Together we brought in $4,700 monthly.

This is a breakdown of our expenses:

Rent – 1250

Home internet – 65

Power (NEPA) – 59

Phone bill for both of us – 110

Insurance for our car – 145

Total – 1,629.

We budgeted 1000 for groceries (this is a lot, but it was our budget). Our total expense came to 2,629. From the $2,071 left, we saved 1500 monthly and left the rest for miscellaneous (mostly for bulk purchase or to send money home to our folks, hang out with friends, shop once in a while etc.). By the way, there’ll hardly be any emergency where you have to spend your money on hospital bills etc. as medical is free here, education is free up till secondary school except for daycare.


We enrolled our daughter in a daycare that cost almost $1000 monthly. Govt of Canada pays kids up till 18years depending on household income something called child benefit. Our daughter got 560 monthly and another quarterly payment. The govt also pays daycare subsidy for each eligible child for 640 monthly. So since the govt paid 640 to the daycare on behalf of my daughter, I only paid the balance of 360. This was funded from her child benefit of 560. She had change of 200 which was paid into an account we opened for her.


Now this is our life as newly landed immigrants, while we were doing this, I was working on my HR certifications (I’m a HR professional), while my husband was studying online for his diploma. We were both studying and working.

While in naija, we earned well, we had savings of more than 300k monthly which we put away, in a year that gave us 3.6million. After house rent of almost 700k, hospital bills, (my daughter was a regular hospital visitor, sometimes we spent 50k, 100k in hospital bills). At the end of the year, we may have about 2m left in savings. Now go back to my monthly savings in Canada of 1500 per month which is about 18,000 Canadian dollars in a year, converted to naira, that’s almost 6million naira.



This is from people doing minimum wage jobs that included overtime o. it’ll be hard and stressful, combining studies and working is stressful. The stress from a physically demanding job can get to you, my husband was stressed for the first 3 months, back pain, neck and muscle strain etc. but we persevered, he was taken care of, he had regular massages, pain killers and ointment for joint pain but overtime he got used to it, he even moved from that role to a less demanding role.

Today, we’ve completed our studies, we’ve transitioned to professional jobs, and we have more than 4k monthly in savings from our income. You can actually have same expenditure every month as most bills are fixed, you can plan well, medical is free, nothing like emergency money for hospital bills. Unlike in naija, where we bought fuel everyday as per minister of power in our house, had 2 gens, repaired gen almost every 2 weeks, spent money on mechanics due to bad road and crazy drivers etc.


I have a friend earning more than a million per month in naija, he had an accident, had to be flown to Germany for surgery, sold some of his properties as the bill was mad, he lost that job because he was away for more than 2 years, his life never remained the same, he took the money left and relocated with his family (this is for people that keep saying if they earn millions, they won’t go anywhere), remember that in naija, an emergency can send you from grace to grass. If he were in Canada, his bills would have been free, he would have had employment insurance and be able to return to work.



The reason for this post is, please if you have the means and are eligible for express entry, please don’t be discouraged, I had friends that did security work, cleaning jobs while they were writing their bank certifications exams, to Nigerians, the jobs are degrading, but here nobody send you, our cleaner for office de drive range rover sef.


Today my friends have all transitioned to professional jobs. By the way I stay in Alberta where minimum wage is $15 per hour, so anyhow anyhow you must see like 2k take home job every month, and these minimum wage jobs are not hard to find, Walmart recruits everyday, stores, customer service jobs plenty just keep at it you’ll get one.

People are losing their jobs because of covid bla bla, very true, but like I said, are you lazy? My friend in HR was laid off in April, he jejely went to get a warehouse job and in September he got another HR role. Plenty things to do if you don’t get a job easily. My husband was doing something like uber, but this was like for food, you get to deliver online orders to people, he made like $200 every week (he didn’t do it full time, only on his off days). The money we got from selling our car in naija was kept differently for a car here, when we landed in winter we didn’t want to be carrying our then 1+ daughter up and down in the cold, so we got a car immediately (a small car of about $3,000).


Today we live in our home, doing far better, infact while on minimum wage we did far better than naija sef. Baby number two is on the way, everything is free, I’m getting the best medical attention, lots of freebies for pregnant mum lol.


To conclude, don’t let anyone discourage you from relocating, but do so legally, forget pride and take on minimum wage jobs while you look for professional jobs in your field. Don’t just sit around to wait for it to come, it took some people more than a year to get one, get busy, get certified and you’ll land one. Good thing is to be eligible for express entry, you must have relevant qualifications and experience so it’s easier to search for jobs with your certificate when you land.

By the way, a lot of people live comfortably on minimum wage jobs and never transitioned to professional jobs.

BeeBeeOoh:
It's not a lie oh! There was a day when I and my cousin bro visited a morgue when my uncle died late last year, the mortician told us about a guy inside the morgue that whenever he keeps another dead person on top him, he will squeeze his face. That's not even the issue, he said that the dead guy always pushes off anybody he keeps on him and whenever he does that his face will brighten up, he'll be kinda smiing. The guy died in a ghastly motor accident

Toks2008:
Today is known all over the world as lovers day but I believe it should be renamed 'JESUS DAY' because he is the greatest lover of all time. Thank you Jesus for demonstrating your love to all mankind that whilst we were yet sinners, you sacrificed your life on the cross of Calvary to save the world from eternal wrath. John 15:13 ''Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends''

You need to know that the system of the world is designed to fail us, those you think will be there for you can disappoint you but Jesus is the only person that will never leave nor forsake you and having a relationship with him will secure a beautiful and glorious life for you anytime you leave this world. Remember that death can come at anytime and the greatest mistake anyone can make is to be found dead without accepting Jesus as lord and saviour.

If you have not accepted the Pains Jesus went through and the sacrifice he made on the cross to save you from eternal damnation in hell then you have no iota of love in you. Make Jesus your eternal Val by accepting him as your saviour cos he is the greatest lover of all time. The only one with real deep UNCONDITIONAL❤️for us.

Do you want to take that bold step? If yes then read these words out wherever you are...
'Lord Jesus, I believe in my heart that you are the son of GOD and that you died on the cross to save me from eternal destruction. I confess this moment that you are my lord and saviour. Thank you Jesus for saving me.'

If you read those words out loud, I say A BIG CONGRATULATIONS. Your name is now written in the book of life and you are guaranteed eternal bliss with Christ Jesus.

Happy Valentine. [/s]

Talking about food in dates, who declared that dates must happen at fast-food or grillers? No one!, if as a man you're not spontaneous enough to pick a non-food related venue for the date that's on you!

If a girl wants to pay for her own meal guess what she'd be doing? EATING IT ALONE!... Not having some guy giving interviews over lunch.
Sure some girls might take a date as a possible meal ticket, but if you can't bring up sharing of the bills before the date then you shouldn't complain, if you did the asking out.. I never get critical or judgmental about dates etiquette but this section of nairaland never hides it's gross misogyny.

CONTROLLING A MAN THROUGH HIS MONEY.

For Women.

Everything in that game hinges on a deep understanding of a man and his relationship with his money.

This writeup will bring that understanding to you.



Here is a little secret only gold diggers know. It's how high-maintenance, materialistic women, hated as they are by Society, keep getting married to wealthy and powerful men, while low-maintenance women wallow in mediocre relationships.

The secret is this:
Men express their love through money. Money is a man's emotions.

MEN EXPRESS THEIR LOVE THROUGH MONEY.
