It's safer to be a slave in your country than another man's country. You have a peace of mind in your country
I do not think everyone should leave. Personally, it took me awhile to make up my mind about relocating. That said, let's not deceive ourselves about the situation of things in Nigeria. You have more peace of mind in Canada than Nigeria. Crime rate is way lower, you have access to basic amenities. There is a reason life expectancy in canada is 84 while in Nigeria it is about 55. I feel more appreciated here. You need to experience life outside Nigeria to know what it means to be a first class citizen. There is a reason Canada gets voted almost every year as one of the best countries to live in.
TravelRe: 10 Reasons Nigerian Immigrants Would Enjoy Canada by ENG0701: 9:33pm On Jan 04, 2021
I dont know why there has been so much noise about people choosing to relocate, it is personal choice, not everyone will leave Nigeria. And there are less than 90,000 Nigerians in canada, it's not like everybody is leaving.

Why are people so particular about crossover service sef. It's just a tradition, and like tradition people can choose to modify. None of the apostles or Jesus celebrated crossover.
The idea that you are more spiritual because you are in church by 12am just shows how spiritually immature and culturally fixated you are, basing your faith on time in church. If you pray for 2021 in November, God will answer your prayers as well as if you pray for 2021 December 31.

PoliticsRe: 10 Countries Screwed By Chinese Loans by ENG0701: 2:29pm On Dec 29, 2020
After seeing this topic, I went on YouTube to watch a documentary about chinese loan to Africa. One thing I do not understand is why everybody is blaming China. They give you a loan at a good rate and with a good time interval, I blame African countries for not honouring the terms of the loan.
I would prefer not to get a loan from China, but there seems to be a reason every low income country is now shifting to China for loan. However, if you must get a loan, then pay it off asap.
TravelRe: Sad Truths About Living Abroad by ENG0701: 10:09pm On Dec 23, 2020
I know someone that experienced number 4. She entered a train leaving her daughter behind (she thought she entered with her). She almost lost the daughter to child services. When living abroad you will understand that your children aren't yours. The government can take them at any time if you are negligent and once they turn 18, they move out to live on their own.

As per the other points, I agree with everything, but the black issue isnt as much issue in Canada as it is in the US, I think most other western countries have better race integration than US.
And for church issue, I attend a predominantly white church. Some prefer Nigerian churches to feel at home, but lots of stories of drama. White churches can be boring, but they are sound, very supportive and no drama.
TravelRe: Opinion:- 10 Reasons Why Nigeria IS NOT BETTER Than Canada by ENG0701: 8:41pm On Dec 15, 2020
I think the OP of the original post created the thread for attention.
Noone that knows anything about Canada will say healthcare is expensive. That's a major selling point for Canada. No matter the condition- cancer, knee replacement surgery- it is free, already paid for from your taxes.
Power in Ontario is 25cents pkw peak and 10cents pkw off peak period, which is comparable to Nigeria.
The only point I agree with is weather and loneliness. It is natural to be lonely in a country you migrate to where you know noone. Anyone will be lonely if you grew up in Lagos and move to Abuja without any family or friends in Abuja.

Yes maximum, i will take that fact, but you were talking as if that was the average. Besides, you may want to be specific as Broadband speed is different from mobile speeds.
And your other did indicate you were referring to home internet plans. But so you believe what they wrote there means you can get 1000Mbps throughout the month?
It is an internet plan, if you pay for 1000mbps, you get average of 800 throughout the month. And I did not say its mobile, sorry if I wasnt clear. It is home internet. Mobile is way lower, mine is like 3mbps.

Really! You get unlimited data for 45CAD, that is about $35 valued at N13,500 approximately. Yet some Nigerians spend up to this in a month yet their data speed is slow
The 45CAD is promo price, actual price is 60. You enjoy the promo for 12 months.

I doubt the OP has been to Canada before.
Health is absolutely free, noone pays anything for healthcare except for drugs which are affordable because there is a body that regulates drugs prices.
Power in canada is way cheaper than Nigeria. You claimed you paid 80 CAD, that is 23,600. For 247 light. The max i have paid is 90 CAD. Despite central AC that gets to even the bathroom, electric cooker, and we bake and cook a lot in my house.
Data is cheaper than Nigeria also, I pay 45CAD for unlimited data with speed of 150mbps. I also pay 50cad for my phone but that is unlimited calls to US and all of Canada, how much do you think 8GB and unlimited calls in Nigeria will be per month.
TravelRe: A Question For Nigerians Living In Diaspora by ENG0701: 9:15am On Dec 14, 2020
Like some people have said, a lot of people don't know anything about Nigeria. However, I have met like 3 persons or so that have bad opinion about Nigerians- one of them has a cousin that her boyfriend (a Nigerian) used her account for fraud, another was a victim of online scam. The third attended college with some Nigerians and in her opinion, we are very competitive and loud.

But overall, most don't even know where Nigeria is. But I think it may not be so in US and UK. Nigeria seems to be more popular in those two countries.

iamJ:
teach them.
Unfortunately facts don't matter when it comes to political arguments. That is why I rarely engage in them. For most people, their opinion about political issues is more emotional than factual, that is why a Christian will think Trump is God sent a Biden, a practising christian all his life is the antichrist. Their pastor told them Biden is evil, so he is evil. No amount of facts can change that.
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Calls For Termination Of "Section 230" Over Twitter 'False Trends' by ENG0701: 1:42pm On Nov 27, 2020
1. Trump cannot change a law by EO.
2. Eliminating section 230 does not lead to more freedom of speech, but less. If a media can be sued for what it's on its platform, it will censor its platform more, not less. For example, if I post misleading information on twitter, twitter cannot be sued for misleading the public under section 230. But if section 230 is removed, twitter can be sued. That will lead to more censorship, not less.
3. Trump is angry because of negative trends about him like 'diaperdon.' This is autocratic and a slippery slope.
4. Repealing section 230 will be bad for facebook and Parler which are more conservative friendly. These sites allow lots of fake news like anti vaxers which they can now be sued for. Liberals have always wanted to sue facebook. This just made it easier for them, and facebook will also have to censor conservatives more.

They are congratulating an anti science president for work done by a private company. Trump thinks vaccines cause autism, masks dont work, exercise reduce your lifespan, no global warming. Either they dont know who they support and only supports him because the church supports him, or they know and are just equally ignorant.

greenskittles:
Why is everyone so obsessed with legalization of gay marriage and abortion in Nigeria? Well let me put it to you how he did in the 2012 VP debate. Firstly, be well aware that in 2008 when Obama was running, these were things their platform opposed. They said no to it. But over time, he came to the realization that while his personal Catholic faith is against it, it's not for the government to impose his personal beliefs on others. That's what so many Nigerians, especially the religious loonies, fail to understand. Basically in the debate, he said let God be the judge and not the government. If you're in support of the government banning abortion and LGBT rights, you might not see it this way, but you're no different from the people who want to force Sharia law in the north. You're just upset because it's not your religion that's being imposed on people.
Perfectly said. Christians hate sharia, but want their own version of sharia. Ideologically, evangelicals are very similar to ISIS, just different religion and extent of barbarity

The Trump who they hold so dear, and call holy also supports LGBT and doesn't give a shit about Africans.
Clowns will always live in self denial.
What does the Nairaland celebrity, Righteousness89 have to say about this?
This election has opened my eyes to what some Christians are: Ignorant, partisan and some are hateful. How anyone can believe Trump is a Christian and Biden, a catholic isnt beats me.

Trump has 26 rape allegations against him, with one currently in court, slept with a porn star 3 months after Melania gave birth to their son, started a fake university that had to be closed, his family charity foundation for cancer patients was closed down because it was a scam, and his children are banned from ever running a charity, he is hated in New York for cheating contractors, banks in US stopped loaning him money because of his antics, he gets his funding from German and Russian banks. He lies constantly, proud, hateful, his tweeter page is full of hate, he is very divisive, refusing to help blue states during the outbreak (same thing people hate Buhari for, wrt 5 percenters). Yet because of gay rights and abortion, the church is burning down its reputation to support the clown. That is why christianity in US is on the decline. Evangelicals should be about evangelism-spreading gospel of God, a gospel of love. But since they became political christianity in the US has been declining at an alarming rate.

I was referring to the general reason why courts award settlements to spouses. In this case while no kids, he was with her for 14 years that’s a long time to be with someone that adds no value to your life, some marriages don’t even last that long.

The bolded, duh because men are like 4x richer than women. The law will still apply to a rich woman that kept a man as a companion for 14 years. The law will not say “because you’re a woman then I favour you don’t pay this man”
I concur with your second point. Men are richer, so they are most affected. The law is generally in favour of the poorer partner and also men often prefer to marry someone they are richer than, that is another discussion. But I do not agree with the notion that because they spent 14 years together, she is entitled to such benefits. From the story: 1- they were never married and never officially lived together, 2- she refused to sign the agreement, 3- she gained a lot from the relationship she is more than enough compensation. And lastly, if this is allowed to stay, there will be lots of court cases of people suing their ex after dating for 3 years.

Watch as they avoid your unbiased post as a plague and continue to delude themselves “western laws favour women” the same laws some men use to get money from their richer female companion.

No need to cry you already know what the laws are, you cannot use a woman to raise your children, use as a companion get her used to a certain lifestyle and discard her like a piece of rubbish when you’re done. If you think no woman deserves your hard earned sweat then don’t bring them into your life and lavish them with gifts, simple. It’s a choice, you can go your own way.
To your first point, I agree that some guys also benefit from the law, however, it is mostly women that is why it seems to favour women.

And your second point, there is no mention of her raising the guy's children, as he is most likely paying child support to his ex, she benefited a lot from the relationship, the guy paid off her mortgage, so the idea of use and dump doesn't apply here. Relationship ends, it's not always because one party wants to use and dump the other.

I don't understand this case.

Dude proposed to her seven times and she declined signing marriage contracts so technically the woman was the one wasting bobo's time.

So she never did wifely duties, never joined her funds with him, did not invest in him yet thinks she is entitled to be recognized as a spouse (that she refused 7 times) so she can receive support. Classic eating of cake and having it.

Funny how these unnatural laws never bring happiness.

The rate of clinical depression and mental illnesses still on the rise.

Hopefully, their men stand to fight this madness.
I hope the guy takes it to the highest court, and hopefully it is reversed. This is like opening a pandora box. It means once you date a lady for 3 years she can sue for spousal benefits. That is ridiculous.

MrBrownJay1:
You do know that a man dating/married to a rich woman would get the same result (aka receive spousal support), right?!



If you live with someone as husband and wife, then why shouldn't you be viewed as husband and wife? Just like a man who has a child with a woman would have all the rights as a married man. Remember, as much as it's mostly women who receive spousal support, that's because the majority of these men let these women stay home being lazy while they went to work and brought the cheddar.... But if a woman earns just as much as you do, then you pay her ONLY the difference ... if you guys have kids and she has full custody. If you have full custody then SHE pays you the difference.



I fully understand these rulings... If a man dates and promised heaven and earth to a woman and put her in a certain lifestyle that she will now claim she is accustomed to, then the fool has to pay her in order for her to remain in such lifestyle you promised her. The catch would be for that fool to 1st, not date good for nothing useless women who don't work (so that she can also contribute to any lifestyle you guys are into) ...and 2nd not become someone's benefactor for so long while you do everything to better her life.

The dude is even lucky, in some country (brazil for example), the minute you tell a woman that you love her and wanna spend the rest of your life with her Bla bla bla, and she has a confirmation (in writing/text/email) of you telling her that, then within 6months of dating she can sue you (and ask for half your shiit) if you dump her.
I agree with your points. I think the reason we dont often read about women paying spousal benefits is because men often don't marry women richer than they are. For instance, Adele's ex is suing for almost half of her fortune. But this is rare, so it feels like men are affected more.
FamilyRe: Man Ordered To Pay His Ex Girlfriend $50,000 Per Month In Canada by ENG0701(op): 6:20am On Sep 11, 2020
Some things I have come to realise about the west
1. The laws favour women in or out of marriage
2. You cannot circumvent spousal responsibilities by not
marrying. Cohabitation is considered as being
married in Canada

I support paying alimony and supporting a spouse after a divorce especially when kids are involved, but ruling like this ends up doing more harm than good in the long run
