I remember early 2000, my dad was planning to adopt a kid Into our family.
Later I found out that my father's friend adopted 2 boys.
My uncle warned my dad not yo try it.
I even remember going to orphanage with him to see how it goes.
For some reason he didn't adopt again.

Fast foward to 20 years later
That my father's friend is living in hell,
He says those 2 boys he adopted turned out to be into yahoo, drugs, cultisim.
They even beat him up and steal his money.

Till today im forever grateful to my uncle for preventing my dad from adoption.
Because all the families I know that adopted kids back in the 2000. None of them have peace, they always fighting, quarreling
It's a huge mess.
This is why i think Adoption is not worth it at all

It was not adoption but how they were trained. Your dad's friend did a bad job. Even if they were his biological kids, they would have turned out exactly the same way. So don't blame it on adoption.

Stick to what you know, if you're not a health care provider you have no business giving health related advice on a public forum.
Doctors all over the world usually advise women NOT TO WASH INSIDE THE VAGINA as this has a way of destabilising the normal flora and causing infections. If the private part is smelling, it is usually a sign of infections and this goes after proper treatment

Educate the op some more as she obviously needs it.

I saw this now online about Super Eagles match against Algeria Team B

Watch Goalkeeper Maduka flop

This new coach should better shop for a good Goalkeeper, not this Maduka

of Bazunu, the Southampton keeper? Is he not a Nigerian that can be woo?

For this end time, anything is possible.

naijaboy99:
everyday. Might even be more. Close to 30% depending on how much you earn

The way you throw values and stats up and down leaves one amazed how can an educated discussion be made.

naijaboy99:
i am even trying to be considerate. If I add a link you will be shocked they can't even save 10CAD (4,000naira) daily

Oga add link. We are all here to learn. Remember the sample population and a sizeable sample size is needed for us to make a conclusion. Na so dem dey do am for research.

Makamatic:
Bros Carpenter for there get air saw , drill , scraping machine and better tool and machine to work etc .. here na saw wey them they oil and plane to use scrap them they use . Just watch carpenter abroad work and Nigeria own ... U go know why them go fit do 3 work and without getting tired .. in all I believe EFFICIENCY is the key

Same way mechanics... hence in abroad, you see a lot of female mechanics that do the job without stress as everything is with the use of efficient equipment.

emmaodet:
Hmmmmmmm…. This I think the money they are remitting home is more or less for their own personal projects like buying land, building it than giving.
With the way they hustle, I don’t expect them to give out more than 10-20% of what they send home.

Someone added a link to how much was remitted in just the 1st quarter of 2022. Irrespective of what it is for, the beneficiary are Nigerians in Nigeria in the long run. And the economy also benefit greatly from the remittance. Now imagine, abroadians keep this money in the countries where they reside. How e go be?

sokeril:
You should have worded the question better bro- is it possible to save 11000 CAD annually in Canada?

That is if the op actually wants to learn or have an intelligent discussion. However, from the title of the thread, you can see the aim and objective of the thread.

seunpinky:
Boys no dey talk outside again.. na just few guys dey come NL come give testimony. 70% of my guys wey we dey play football don buy atleast 1 house and these are guys btw the age bracket of 27 to 40 years.

I don't know where they find all these statistics that (Nigerians) are not doing well in Canada.

I just lazy for the guy...

Skii:
OP, where is the statistic (link/website?) supporting your assertion that most of the Nigerians in Canada cannot save $30 per day? You say 90 -95%. Did you get this information from the government of Canada or government of America?

Without being baised and in trying to maintain this discussion neutrally, others have shared their own opinions alluding to the fact that it is indeed possible to save even more than $30 a day in Canada and in US and even beyond.

People have highlighted the same hustle spirit that is present in Nigerians in Nigeria and Nigerians abroad as being responsible for their ability to save this much and more. Why are you choosing to ignore that but hell bent on driving your point across board. Thats not how to have a healthy conversation (please note, I haven't insulted you, so please bear that in mind, if and when you respond)

Above all this, the metrics from the UN,TI, UNICEF etc. on the standard of living is clear for referencing. GDP, access to healthcare, ease of doing business, standard of living, poverty index, corruption perception indices and so on. Just look at the positions of Nigeria relative to America and Canada. It is not the akara seller at the junction or the tipper driver's daily savings that shoulf be used to judge.

Finally, smart Nigerians that we are, dey no dey tell us for obodo sey we go need to add one or two more jobs to augment things, if the bird wey we get for hand never worth one for bush. If the first job can't give the room to make such savings (no reliable data to even support but lets just say for OPs sake), then you find that these so called people (the 90-95% of Nigerians) may then work an additional job or two to make those savings.

How can I like this more than once? Well spelt out. Make op bring stats and links, so that we all learn. Abi nor be so?

Raalsalghul:
I suspect this is that Munamoqel dude under disguise.

In case you haven't noticed, the account was opened today.

Dude doesn't get tired.

I won't be surprised

edoman2016:
Somehow you are on point. I was amazed when i discovered an akara seller at T-Junnction close to my office makes 50,000 naira averagely everyday. This akara lady is a graduate of accounting. I then understood why she refused white collar jobs. There is money in Nigeria ohh. How many immigrant in canada make 50k daily? Canada is overrated and overhyped.

See, the day people abroad stop remitting money back home, you will understand they can actually save alot of money.

naijaboy99:
please read my post again. I am not talking about office job. Majority of Nigerians in Canada do menial jobs. Even office job self most make less than 60kCAD before tax. I wish you the best in your journey. I am not discouraging anyone

You are educated and not doing naysayers kind of discussion. Where are the links to all these stats. Let's have a credible link and start some serious learning here.

naijaboy99:
Not possible. Let me break it down for you. If I work as a driver in Nigeria from morning till night I should be able to make 21k daily for 8hrs. Take out fuel money of 4k daily that brings the amount down to 17k. Then I am expected to eat outside thrice in a day. Let's use 700naira per meal (which you know is very low) that's another 2k off. Then I drink two bottles of beer and end my day with 14k. Then in America let's work with your $120 daily after tax. Average meal is $10 so that's 30usd off. Unlike Nigeria where 2days hustle can pay my monthly rent in Canada you pay like $1,200 for a room that's like $40 daily. That's remaining $50. If we follow your calculation of $160 daily before tax that means such person is expected to bring in 48,000CAD before tax. That's like making 63,000CAD annually before tax. 90% of Nigerians in Canada don't make that money. Might even be 95%

Where you dey get these stat from? I really want to know. If from your write up, you claimed, you want us to learn, then reference these things.

esivue007:
Hmm

beautiful and welcoming as this interchange without traffic lights, the purpose will not yield the maximum benefits.

CountVersailles:
I didn't say you were lying. I said the fact that that is your reality doesn't make it the reality of significantly more persons. If you are only saving $200 a month, then you are doing something very wrong. For example, buying winter jackets for 400CAD. Really? 400CAD? If you are only imagining saving $200 a month and you are in the same breath thinking of buying winter jackets of $400, then I have no further words for you.

I was about pointing that but I say make I chill... how would you be earning 3600 monthly and be buying just 1 jacket for 400? Doesn't make financial sense, except the jacket is part of the work you do. There are cheaper alternatives which are good as well...
Financial education and discipline is a major determining factor that distinguish people irrespective of their location or career.

You are the busy body here.
The soldier ants that is always bitting you whenever you see people share their story or questions. The bad belle in you will soon burst. Take it easy before you burst a vein.
See who dey call person busy body but e dey always drink Panadol for people JAPA decision.

I dey busy, better pass you wey dey always create thread to talk nonsense due to joblessness.
At the bolded, no be ya papa get nairaland, same wey you create thread for the world to see ya mess na the same way I open m to read ya rubb!sh mindset.

Make I go back to my silent Reader mode.

Kizzzzeeeeeeeezzzzzz

Munamoqel:
what the hell are you doing on the tread busy body abi .you are under no obligation to open /read my thread .so get the hell out .

Oga, your agbada don hook for barb wire. Na express you dey go so
You created a thread for the public, so allow public to give their own perspective and views na... abi nor be so?

ThisPower:
Chaiii na God go bless you.

I no even see this one before I reply. I just went straight to the part he used that woman as an example.
That "son and daughter" he stated there, na HIM. He just dey disguise.
JAPA plans no allow make he use one gender again.

I have told him to rest. His trails on nairaland don dey smell already.

Atleast let people use this as proof whenever he begins to yarn nonsense again before he deletes it.

Dem just burst the op bubbles...

yusfaith78:
I have been on Nairaland long enough to know that some people will sleep and have a dream that they have a good job and big money then they will wake up and come online to brag about what they actually don’t have. I just ignore them. To prove my point look at this one that has been condemning people that relocate to the UK.

You know dem wella

StrikeBack:
Exactly,Nigerians want a near perfect environment like the west where they get away with anything and everything, no sense of responsibility. Everyone wants to be wealthy in nigeria at all cost without actually working hard/smart for it.
The other one is saying every Nigerian should create generational wealth �

Nigeria is truly finished

Munamoqel:
to go dey stay for _20 c . I dey craze .I rather battle nepa .but you will not understand why oyinbo dey fear brutal winter with no money or your must go Amazon work inside that weather .

Na wetin you know, you talk... those you dey castigate now, check their remittance to 9ja...
Make I tell you one truth: if abroadians are not tensioned to be sending money home, you see all this stories of small savings ehn, would be bygones.
If you know, you know

ednut1:
this is not 1990. There are thousands of Nigerians in uk, usa, canada working as nurses, accountants, doctors, data analysts, tech workers etc. there is a huge labour shortage in many of these countries so they have no choice than to hire us. You wish everyone is doing menial jobs . Absolutely not true . You will do menial jobs if you relocated illegally or refuse to develop on your skills.

E be like say today na your off day bros... giving the op reasons won't change his mind... better use the time to volunteer or sleep sef
