Earlier this year, I went back in time to few years back when I was doing so well in Nigeria. The noises from friends and all nurtured the decision to move abroad inside of me. I became so restless till I finally leave. The first day in Canada was the day I knew this place isn't where I can be forever. Most of us would have come back before the time we had in mind except for the fact that I don't still have enough. If I want to travel to naija for vacation now, I will need up to $4k. If I take that away from my savings, I don't know how I can recover.

No one tells about the downside of this place. I feel lonely, depressed and empty most times. Because no one to talk to, just everyone in my workplace goin about their business. If I make attempt to talk to them, they just waive it with a smile. It's been 3years here and the people I still talk to on video call are friends from Nigeria. It's been 3years and my savings is still Short of $20k despite how much my friends in Nigeria do tell me how easy it is for me to make money abroad but I never tell them my situation. I can't wait to make enough and leave Canada for good. I know a lot will come at me with the usuall "come back to Nigeria na", please this is not an attempt to denigrate your abroad heaven, just for me to rant out and be fine

Hi…DM me let’s connect.

What is your yardstick for a better standard of living?
If your measurement revolves around money (earnings) alone, my brother your journey has not started.

Pierocash:
.People like you are the reasons young Nigerians don't think they can make it in Nigeria.

What Agbaje pointed out is nothing but the truth. How will a bank executive resign her position and relocated to become a health care assistant and all you could do is to justify it by saying she earns a decent pay. What kind of life is she living there and how much does she earns? You are talking of fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram, those people running away from Nigeria are not even in there region of bandits and Boko Haram,these are Southerners using Boko Haram as the excuse to japa only to end up with lower standard of living,while those who are directly affected are not even considering japa as an option.

People tend to use exchange rate to measure wealth,but you are wrong. Exchange rate is not and indices to measure standard of living. You measure standard of living using what is called PPP(Purchasing price/power parity). That is what is used to determine standard of living not exchange rate. There are people in Nigeria here who have never touched dollar or pounds in their life ,but have higher standard of living that so many of their counter parts abroad.

Quit this your japa mentality and build yourself here,there is honey and gold in Nigeria here. You can't convince someone like me to japa,I will rather go there to invest and return home just to spread my business nothing more.

I stand with Agbaje.

Send me a message.....

blessings2017:
Please my people, help me attempt the above questions. I need to make an informed decision and pay for my flight ticket as soon as possible.

Thanks

I was once in your shoes sir but when I got to the POE I discovered my mountains was nothing but sand in the words of Adekunle Gold.


1. Does an officer at POE have access to one's itinerary to know if i intend going back?

Answer: The officer doesnt have any business with your intinery.

2. what if in the event that I'm asked if I'm going back to Nigeria, how do i tactically maneuver ?

Answer: Nobody is going to ask you if you're staying or not..Incase you are asked simply say,you're here to stay..Please don't say what you're asked.

3. Will the officer refuse to process my PR card seeing that i plan to do short-landing?

Answer: Pls,get your act together and embark on your journey.Your card will be processed,provided you're within the ambit of the law.

4. Can I go ahead in paying for return flight ticket, or should I purchase one-way flight ticket? Prices are relatively cheap at the moment, but gradually increasing. Paying a one-way ticket isn't quite economical.

Answer: The officer wont ask about your ticket details.You're already a PR and there's no restrictions on your travels. Even if you travel without your PR card,you can always apply for Temporary Travel Permit from the nearest Canadian Embassy..Manage and book your flight ontime before the prices go to the sky.


Summarily, be bold as you go and never entertain any fear.Be careful with your spoken words so you don't say what you're not asked.

Canada is a free Country where you'll enjoy real freedom with a welcoming smile on everyone's face.

...Welcome to Canada...

Mickychen:
Hello everyone. I'll be moving to Canada by August 11th and I want to ask if it's advisable to change all my money in Nigeria to CAD before leaving or I should hold unto my naira. Thank you.

Change few Naira to USD...Leave the rest in your naira Account,when you land you will see People who needs Naira then you can easily transact with them.
If you need further explanations..PM me.

People only put in their best when they pay for the service

Besides I said I would charge 50k upwwrds

Ok sir

Lakeside79:
Learn skills,I mean learn,. One thing that pisses me off is when I see people mention what they graduated with as the indirect reason they have employment issues .

My dear it could be other factors like you have poor communication skills, you are not good at critical thinking, or most employers just don't find you believable ..

Either way I can help you, but I will change you. If have to meet you and assess where you weakeneses lie...
Then I will charge you for weekend trainings Saturday and Sunday. But I will charge nothing less than 50k upwards ..

So you think the best way to help him is to target his 50k monthly income? Na wa oo

Pls add me 08078828216

whitebeard:
Nigga watch it do u expect CNN to know what is really going on in Nigeria, aren't u supposed to correct CNN now u supporting them against our country, middle finger to u...!!

Correct CNN on what? Has your president truly stepped his foot on the shores of this country for the past two months?
Manage and call a space...a spade...

NwaAmaikpe:


This Commissioner for the Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare thinks he is smarter than the other commissioners before him who overlooked these houses.

Being overzealous doesn't pay in this country.
Dora Akunyili learnt that the hard way.

I'd advise he thinks about his life and family first before he thinks of the Lagos flood.

After all,
Water will always find it's level.

The fact that the previous commissioners failed to do their job doesn't mean the incumbent is overzealous. The time has come for us as a people to learn to do what is right as against what has been the tradition..

chinchum:
I disagree.

A typical message appears like this.
if there are any changes, you would need to send a msg to cpc ottawa.

@pauloverdi, ensure you fill and submit the imm008 form, fill a likely province you intend to relocate. it is not cast in stone

Boss...There's no need to disagree sire. I only gave him a lead based on personal experience..I say again,if nothing has changed about your family composition,no need to fill another Imm008.
Do have a good day.

pauloverdi:
Good morning house. Im applying through the fsw program, and i received my ppr last week, and I'm about to send my documents. Please I need to know if I should fill and attach the imm008 form with my family passports I'm sending. All 4 members of my family are on the original application and nothing has changed as per family composition. Also I need to know if, when filling the imm0008 form, the location fill in as the place I wish to reside determines where I will have to live when I get to canada. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic and madam is a banker. I have a friend in Vancouver and also in Saskatchewan. I'm also thinking of settling in Alberta because of my line of work, but considering that I don't know anyone there yet I'm not sure if I should select Vancouver or saskachewan instead. Experienced guys Please advice me. I'm sending my passports today so I need to know

If nothing has changed about your family composition then you don't need to fill the said form..
Just send the requirements via DHL to them.. Congratulations.

I just lost my relationship due to genotype issues..he is AS and I'm AS. We knew abt our genotype incompatibility frm the very first day..we were cool with it or so i thought. We were together for a year nd some months before we switched to long distance relationship cos of his job. I'm a med student, he is a doctor, so we both knew wat it meant. I was cool with it cos the signs were there that God put us together..everybody knows it, his parents, my parents..we ourselves knew it that our paths were ordained by God.. Then suddenly, from nowhere, he comes up with dangers of having sickler kids, the diseases they face, their pain and all..he suddenly stopped talking abt d fact that we may be lucky not to have any of our kids as sicklers, or medical methods we could use like IVF and all..our parents are both aware of the genotype ish, mine are very okay with it. He said he's not sure his parents are okay with it and yet they call me EVERYDAY to assure me nothing will go wrong and to cheer me up and all.. i questioned him cos it made me feel he was looking for an opportunity to leave..and he didnt give me any reply, just stopped talking to me.
Our introduction was slated for next year, he is my first love, I've been so loyal nd i pray for him.. I feel so used and heartbroken..my instincts tell me something is wrong..I'm back to square 1, where would i start from? He was my best friend, my everything..now, it's just me

My dear,you must accept this fact and move on.The truth is,there is more to life than love.
I was in your shoes before,I had to painfully part ways with my girl of six years when I knew more about the dangers of bringing a sickle child into this world..
The Young man is brave enough to end it now....
Please,don't be heartbroken your own my is by the corner...Onelove

Iheanacho is not 20years....


He is in his mid thirties...

Nigerian players should learn that Pele did not become great by reducing his age.

I know you gave birth to him....Mr Noah.

Side Chic?
I will advice you to consult all your village oracles,Amadioha and the Babalawos that blind folded you to marry that side chic that the reality has finally come.

Manage and beg that your wandering soul ( like Robinson Crusoe) to look through the eyes of your lovely son and make her mother an inside chic..

What men sometimes forget is the fact that we are not in anyway better than those women we treat anyhow..

Bros,my candid advice for you is to borrow candle, lantern,generator or possibly street light..Look for that love or lost you once had for that side chic of yours and wholeheartedly give it to this beautiful mother of your lovely son whom like you said eargerly awaits your home coming on a daily basis.

If you think that your new Anima,Ronke abi na Amaka will make life better for Bros...Na big lie.

Happiness is closer than you think.Just open your eyes and reach out for it in that mother of your lovely son..

Good to see peace returning to these communities...Seeing these Men together gives a ray of hope.
I remember all our sacrifice to see this happening.
To God be the glory..

Barcholder:
As requested by many on this thread, I'll provide a very simple explanation of the new FX regime we have entered into.

1. The Naira will no longer be "Fixed" against the Dollar, but will now be determined by the forces of supply and demand.

Please note that even in a fixed FX regime, the rate is still determined by supply and demand. CBN spends our valuable FX to buy Naira in order to help stabilise the rate at their chosen rate. When the true underlying weakness of the currency becomes too great, the CBN simply can no longer supporting the currency or they will run out of money.

That's where we are now, and have no choice but to abandon the fixed rate policy. Even Saudi Arabia, with reserves of almost $1 trillion, is under pressure to abandon their fixed rate policy before it bankrupts them, never mind Nigeria with barely $25

2. Contrary to popular belief the scarcity of FX has been caused by an unprecedented flight of capital out of the country since May last year, as investors were spooked by the 6 months delay in naming the ministers. Markets hate uncertainty, and that's exactly what we had.

3. The foreign investors will only reenter the market if they see value in the currency. Nobody is going to buy Naira at 197 when they believe the true value to be 300. Question, if you had $1 million in cash, would you agree to change it at 200?

The only way to solve the liquidity crisis that was created by this very same regime through very stupid policies (such as the imposition of Capital Controls), is to allow liquidity back into the country by allowing the currency to float.

4. The net effect of this should be that foreign money returns to Nigeria to help build the economy into growth. However, our ridiculous and almost absolute dependence on foreign exports means that we are likely to see a further spike in inflation in the short term, as the official Naira rate will likely be 300 to $1.

This provides a tremendous opportunity for local production to take off in a big way, creating millions of jobs in the process. The weak currency is effectively a 50% tax against importation, meaning that we can now manufacture cheaper than imports.

If we are smart, we will seize this opportunity.

Uvie

...Thanks for your explanation.I was actually confused with the whole grammar by the CBN and some Nairalander didn't help but to confuse me the more...

Biafra or Nigeria. I have suffered for nigeria and in return nigeria have paid me well so why leaving nigeria to go and be a slave abroad. Tufiakwa. Nigeria is my home and i love it. Am even looking for a white man or woman to be my maid and i will feed him and pay him. Yes i will do it because my blessings are in nigeria and it have manifested. This country is sweet if you find your self in my shoes. Many of my school friends who runs to uk, dubai and america are so jealous of me. They even pray to get a well paid job if they return to nigeria. Do you love freedom?? Are you a liberalist? Nigeria your country is a place you can get it. After all dangote made it here in nigeria and is been respected all over the world. Orji kalu made it. Chisco made it from bus conductor. Adenuga made it. Elumelu made it so why should i run?? Many white men are working very hard for this individuals in nigeria. If they have paradise as a country then why are they in Nigeria Biafra or Nigeria.. Full stop

Boss..all those names u mentioned that they made it in Nigeria,have u read their stories? Do you know how far they have gone to develop themselves? And who told you they were never abroad in one time or the other?

Atmmachine:
I live in America but i must confess, there's no place like Nigeria.
If i can get a job that pays like the one i have in America, I will be in Nigeria the next day.

Nigeria is the best country on earth.
People who lives in Nigeria may not understand this till you move to that country you think is the best.

Now that you can't get ur America job in Nigeria nko?
Boss..You better remain there and don't think of Nigeria as the best place to be
