Oh thank you.

God willing I shall be.

I am at looking at the business ecosystem here in Canada. Hopefully trying to see if I can ever meet a group of Nigerians who share the vision of building wealth and dominating a particular goods/service sector.

We do quite well in Tech. But we have the Indians, Pakistanis and Chinese/Japanese in these areas doing a bit slightly better. The Indians for instance have taken control of many HR Departments, Supermarket chains, Gas Station Chains, etc. Indians will likely take over the health sector, as well. So even the medical field, we still work in silos. No Unity, no group effort and props, nothing. We are jealous of each other, afraid of each other, hate each other based on beliefs, do not trust each other.

Apologies for elongating this matter. I met a Nigerian Canadian during my last flight back to Canada. He told me he was once the President of the Nigerian Association in that Capital City within the Province. He mentioned how while he was president he fought and advised and begged Nigerians to stay close to one another in particular areas of the city. With such dominance they will have the numbers to control and choose council men/women, dominate voter strength, etc. He mentioned that he failed woefully on this objective because the moment a newly arrived Nigerian hears that another Nigerian lives close by, they will get a house in an opposite part of town once they are ready to settle down, claiming they didn’t want to live close to their fellow Nigerians. When they first come they won’t mind a Nigerian helping and showing them how to settle down and so on. But once their leg strong for ground (as we say), they move away from fellow Nigerians INTENTIONALLY. Even those who have been around for a while in the city, they do not want to live close to their fellow Nigerians.

The Dislike/Hatred; Mistrust; Preference of Individual Success vs Group Success & Respect; Evil Competitive Spirit; it will take perhaps a new breed of Nigerians to unite. Problem is that the children of many of these diasporans are also told to avoid other Nigerian kids.
because they came out from a corrupt society that is smeared with nepotism , but traveling is also educational and so with them they will learn and just better . Change is constant and it has started from you already this Forum is big and has large coverage . I'm sure you wish for a better society for Nigerians abroad and so continue to do the needful.

Christianity EtcRe: Is Rapture Real ? by fortunez1(op): 10:18am On Dec 07, 2024
Kobojunkie:
The proof is actually simple! 🤔

Premise 1: Jesus Christ of Israel proclaimed that His Father— YHWH of Israel— sent Him only to the Lost Sheep of Israel — the bloodline of Jacob
Premise 2: Jesus of Christ of Israel warned His followers against giving that which is Holy to the Dogs — non-Israelites— explicitly stating that they would trample it — they are incapable of handling that which is holy — and then turn to tear at them.

Conclusion: The religion of Christianity which was set up and made official by non-Israelites aka Dogs has nothing to do with Jesus Christ of Israel; as such even their claims made by the religion regarding what they refer to as rapture is removed from that which concerns God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ of Israel.



Whatever dreams you have been having have no direct or indirect connection to the God of Israel; rather it has to do with the many fables regarding this rapture idea that you have been fed over the years by your religious gods of men. undecided
Have you ever dreamt of been and seeing a place you haven't been to or seen before ?

discussing rapture with these sewer mouths and antichrists is giving pearls to the pigs and dogs:

Mat 7:6  "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
I'm feeling he/she be a moslem
a sewer mouth/a antichrist, calling the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; "ass wipe" and "scammer"
is not well

10thTenthMan:
It is worse in some Canadian Cities o.

Come Saskatchewan (Saskatoon) Na. You go fear. They are only friendly when they want to sell hair or crayfish or want you to patronize their business or get rich quick scams here.


However these are the factors that I have noticed:


1. Nigerians do not change their mindsets about the various tribes and ethnic groups they left behind in Nigeria. They carry the CURSE of ethnic and tribal division overseas. Now the tribes and ethnic groups should have been capitalized upon to produce a single front overseas . “WE ARE NIGERIANS AND THOUGH TRIBES AND TONGUES MAY DIFFER IN BROTHERHOOD WE STAND TO SUPPORT OUR BRETHREN FOR OUR COMMON GOOD, GROWTH, PROGRESS, SUCCESS AND INTERNATIONAL RESPECT, RECOGNITION AND REGARD”. Nope. They never see it that way. Instead they are even divided not only in tribe and religion but also based on churches (denominations) they attend. All claiming to worship the same God o !!!

2. Many of the the Nigerians abroad are ONLY literate. They can only read and write and they managed to Pass IELTS. They ARE NOT WELL EDUCATED NOT TO TALK OF BEING VASTLY ENLIGHTENED. You can take the monkey out of the bush, YOU CAN NEVER TAKE THE BUSH OUT OF THE MONKEY.

3. Every Nigerian wants to succeed more than his brother/sister. THEIR COMPETITIVE SPIRIT IS TO OUTDO YOU. Not really to provide comfort for themselves and their families and their old age, but to outdo you and rub it in your face. The competition is wild hence the hustle is wide and wild as well. To an average Nigerian success is only when they can “PEPPER” other Nigerians with their wealth overseas.

4. Overseas the weather is not always super good for a lot of the Nigerian Type Fun. But even when the opportunity comes, it is the “clique” that will meet and have the fun. I am not saying invite the whole Nigeria in diaspora. But deep within you know you know why you invited Femi and Abayomi and James you just met yesterday but invited him because he drives the 2025 Land-cruiser. They select you based on how they perceive your success at home and actual or potential success abroad.


5. Overseas you work and do your duty. No one listens to your excuses. Your boss does not give a shit about “God Bless you Sir”. You mess up you are gone. Nigerians know this and hence are more dedicated to work. That rubbish play we do in Nigeria and spend Government and Company Time doing nonsense, does not work overseas. They monitor you and YOU WILL GET FIRED IMMEDIATELY. “Sir please it was the Devil… I don’t know what happened…it is my village people… sir please forgive and forget , God will bless you…Sir please my mother was sick…..’’ will ALL FALL ON DEAF EARS. The useless excuse we give in Nigeria claiming we are hard working people will get you sacked and if your negligence leads to loss of health, life or property YOU WILL GO TO JAIL AND E GO SHOCK YOU! Hence they (Nigerians) double their hustle and don’t mess around with work. You go broke here you go homeless. Because of how serious work can be, they have little time to play.

6. Nigerians take on more than they can handle home and abroad. The financial burden becomes so huge that they can hardly have time to enjoy life. I fear for some as they take on multiple jobs, barely have time and are handling multiple demands from home.

7. Nigerians love to oppress themselves. They witnessed this in Nigeria with the wealthy and politicians. The secret desire of every Nigerian is to be so wealthy and rich that they can oppress others, disobey/break the law and nothing happens and have people running after them and for them to cater for their needs, while they live a life of luxury. Classism is very fat and healthy among Nigerians. It is fed well and nurtured well. Not even the core North and the Fulani elite could escape the enticement of classism.

I will add more ….But let us prep to head off to work. It is 6:37 am here in Canada. And snow Dey show people tiny Shege … not much Shege but a bit of trouble, especially driving on icy roads. You just have to be extra careful with everything during winter.
Be safe and know I'm willing to hear quickly from you on this ...
