It was a clinic in capetown south Africa. Have tried cycling at all? Endometriosis is really a tough one. I am just being strong.

Testimonytwins:
Please who has had successful IVF with severe endometriosis and pelvic adhesions. Did you have surgery to remove endo before IVF?

hello my wife is also suffering the same issues, doctor advised we did laparoscopy, however we did not do laparoscopy surgery and the IVF failed . I do not know if their is a connection too.

Can some one please help give updates on grabbo or st Ives which one is better

Amen oooo to that prayer . guy it is 12.54 am here being reading . make i go sleep. i fit DM u sha. if you know mind .

bilulu:
She said most Kenyans in Canada re there just for a short period maybe for studies, even the Rwandans, after their studies they don’t bother to look for work. Imagine the Kenyan said their re more and better opportunities in Kenya than Canada. I felt ashamed when she was just talking. Na motor go kill our politicians

do not get me wrong they are some people earn above $15 they are few.

Bnimz:
From all the comments here and the opinions of some friends in Canada, I've been able to see that it seems things might be a bit tough there. So, let me not project Australia and Uk experiences on Canada.. maybe things are not smiling there, I don't know sha..

I don't think there's anybody who has spent two years in Australia on a visa with full work rights that will complain about barely surviving... You'll hear us complain about taxes, bills, house prices, etc o, but barely surviving? I don't know a single Nigerian in that category here.

@Godbpraised you guys talk of wages of 14, 15 - 20... Here, unless its your first job and you're desperate, there's no good reason to work for below 25/hr... ....30, 35, 40/hr no be magic, its available...

As a result @GeneralShephard and I might find it hard to understand why people in Canada are talking like this...

I dey see @catchdwind4rmkd lurking in the background...., baba what's your opinion on the subject?

6K before tax or after tax ? Think well bro

cucumbar:
I find this hard to believe. How can one earning, say $6k a month not be able to save up to $20k In a year?

Well i get ur point, but a lot of factors come into play, if one has gotten age on his side, like u are between 25 and 35 years then fine, but if u don enter 40 like me haaa. i advised people stay behind else. hmmm . Also ur location does not matter being focused and determined matters.
I used to tell my cousin if you can not make money in Nigeria, bro you would not be able to make money even in TOGO . i am glad Australia is working for u , my advise is u stay put their,coming here to start over again man hmmm.

Bnimz:
Fair points. However, most of these white people don't know what they have.. when they live on minimum wage, its usually cos they are not really trying... We call them government kids, they are used to a life on benefits and handouts....

But if you actually WANT to work, there's work to do... The problem I personally have with naija is that, even pesin wey wan work, to see the work sef na die.... I have men in Lagos working office jobs wey be say after rent and transport, nothing remain o, food is still based on support from home... What kind of life is that?

When I was in UK as a student, ontop the minimum wage and the limited work hours, man dey pay rent and chop and I was still able to save enough money to process Australia when the opportunity came... All within the 1 year. But in Naija now, the primary reason why most of my guys can't move is because its damn difficult to come up with the "approximately" #2m that the whole visa process costs....

I have a friend here who borrowed #1.8m to process his visa.. after landing here, he paid everything back in 4 months ... On top hustle job ooo... Now he is working a professional office job at entry level..

The difference between Naija and abroad mostly lies in opportunity and competition... If I have to compete with 1 million other applicants just to be a policeman (a job most people hate by the way), then f*ck this shit mehn, I'm going where there's no competition.

ask Trump .

DexterousOne:
You can never practice crony capitalism anywhere in the west like it is done in Nigeria

#Fact

Lol , so u think Canadians are saints right . hohohoho okay oo.

DexterousOne:
That is because most Nigerianbig men practice crony capitalism
What they can never do abroad
So why will they leave such behind?

And btw otedola children live abroad
So as the kids of many big men
Even Buhari himself have two daughters living abroad

Nigeria has a big market because of so many people living there

And the weather

How ? by sleeping under the bridge ? or fasting all thru the year ? or walking on bear foot to work ?

GeneralShepherd:
I simply said that one can easily make 100k in Australia per annum. And I still stand by my statement confidently .

In my statement I never said that Australia has no poor people.
I can also categorically say that it is easier to make 100k in Australia and Canada than it is to make in Nigeria with high degree of confidence

But u made it look at everything sounds perfect now.

GeneralShepherd:
So you work in debt collection and you have come across debtors. It's the same as saying if you work as a police officer in Canada and witnessed crimes therefore the rate of crime in Canada is the same as the rate of crime in Nigeria.

No one ever said that there are no poor people in Canada and Australia. I never made that assertion but comparatively Nigeria is miles behind these countries on every count

Kool, like you said cold is crazy. Bills are necessary evils u know this already, however the so called millennial's no wan retire from work for instance Government work and even private self. So many people live on minimum wage. Lots of people are indebted. Canadians are also very diplomatic, they are not straight forward like Americans. If you leave in a house where hydro is paid separately men you hydro go jump up for winter.

Bnimz:
By all means, please proceed, I'd like to hear how things are in Canada... My main reason for avoiding that place na the cold... What have your experiences been in other areas?

Now u are talking, u are beginning to sound open and clear. if u want me to drill down further from what i have discovered during my stay here i can.

Bnimz:
Rent is the biggest expense of course, but it requires sense. And as a single person, its not difficult to find cheap options wey still make sense. A married man whose wife is not working will have a bigger problem on his hands.

i have worked in call centers infact collection center,where we call people who are indebted. a lot of Canadians are indebted men.some $200 dollars they refused to pay. so are u telling people who are not owning are stronger than people owing financially.

GeneralShepherd:
It is about context , how many destitutes are there in Canada compared to the rich?

There's no place like home that is true but convincing yourself that Nigeria is comparable to Canada economically is trying to cope at best or self deceit

Na under bridge you dey sleep, u know dey pay rent?

Bnimz:
if you make 100k gross, about 75k ends up in your pocket as a single person... You can live comfortably on about 35k and save 40k...

I live on 20 - 25k per annum, so 35k is like a life where you are not a wasteful spender, but at the same time, you are not trying too hard to save

Abi GeneralShepherd, wetin you feel about those numbers?

and how much do u think i send to them $100 dollars abi ?

mfm04622:
If nuclear family, you should have included what you send them as part of your monthly budget. If parents, same thing. Apart from that, you need to save for your own future! No money is no money!

Nigeria to me is the best. If nigeria was that bad , why is dangote or otedola not in canada ? Think men. 85% of Canadians keep working untill they are 65 years because of the bills. Guy if u wan die here good luck to you. Africa is untapped. Oh before you say is not about the money think well men,look deeply its about the money.

mbhs139:
You dey mind him? What natural food is he even talking about? Do they think we eat toxic food here? Just like you said, with all their natural food, they end up breathing in heavy doses of CO2 from generator and danfo exhaust pipes, with scorching heat and mosquitoes music all night.

One mofo abuse me say na cold go kill me for Canada , he said I should enjoy my -40 degree weather, and I'm like thank God say me get light to power my space heater to control the temperature to my advantage, without blinking an eyelid.

By the way, we have all the Nigerian Food they talk about here. Sometimes, they argue that it is expensive, they do so by comparing the cost in náírà and kobo. My question is, is it naira and kobo we are earning in Canada? So, you expect me to buy ọlá ọlá poundo yam in Canada with the same cost at Sabo market. For their information, na okomu oil from delta state I dey take cook, and I eat dry fish and oporoku from 9ja. I brought 9ja with me, and you have it everywhere here in Canada.

In conclusion, I don't blame those who diss us for leaving Nigeria. I was in that shoe too at some point in life until I get here. I have read and heard a lot of false information about living in Canada. However, this is not to say living in Canada does not have its own challenges but you can't eat your cake and have it back. But it's no where compare to Nigeria in terms of anything. Truth be told, Nigeria would've been the best country to live on earth but for our myrad of problems.

And at a cheap cost right ?

mbhs139:
I have been eating ìyàn (ọlá ọlá for real), amala, eba, semo with ewedu, ogborno, okro, name it...and ogún fe, ever since I moved to Canada. Na my children dey chop all those their meden-meden food. So...?

GOD BLESS YOU. [/size][size=8pt]

Redman44:
Let me make my own case on this matter. You do not have to agree with me on what I am going to say. This is just my take and opinion on this topic .

Most of the food in Canada is processed food. You have the opportunity of eating natural food in Nigeria 85% of the time. Most African meals are very natural and nutritious without any processing input. In Canada, most of the food will be in Cans,Tins and Packets. We don't value what we have in Africa. The western world is a business machine that keeps grinding on a 24 hours basis. This machine needs immigrants to keep it running. Immigrants are the fuel that makes Canada, USA, UK etc run well. There is no doubt about that. Everything in Canada is organized in such a way that the Country benefits from you more than you benefit from the Country. Yes, the system is not perfect in Nigeria and we have a lot of problems. If we can remove the GREED that dwells in a lot of Nigerians, the country will be better for it. Our Parents should take it easy in their quest to 'eat the fruits of their Labour'. They should stop using all sorts of tricks and lies to obtain money from their children sometimes. If we can sort out this problem of an 'Entitlement Mentality' from our society in Nigeria, Nigeria will become one of the best places to live in the world.

If you are in Nigeria, you have the luxury of eating very natural food from all parts of the country. Food prices are different all over the country. You can grow most crops in Nigeria in your home, I'm telling you. Why did people stop having gardens in their home in Nigeria? Western food is not that nutritious and this is why you find Asian Restaurants having a lot of patronage from white people. I have seen family members who are 60 years + in UK,USA etc and they have not achieved much. That plate of Eba and vegetable soup you will eat tonight, do you know how much you will pay for it in Canada? What about the mental illnesses and cancer among the whites and native populations of Canada, Australia etc? If you continue eating this Processed food for a long time, coupled with the weather, you might develop illnesses as time goes on. There are so many Positives and Negatives of living in Canada or in Nigeria . One thing I know is that Nigeria is a very virgin and untapped land which has a lot of opportunities. There is nothing wrong in emigrating to Canada though. Cheers.

Nice one my brother . Tell them ohhhh .

sexyyoyo:
God bless you .
People don't get it , no place like home irrespective of the figures you earn outside the country . before you abuse me guys, I have been outside the country for four years now and am already tired of staying . FreedFreedom means so much . Nigeria is really blessed . God bless Nigeria .

lol , them think say burger na better food.

Redman44:
In Nigeria, people will eat good food in their house and log on to Nairaland to complain that they are not eating well. They will eat very good eba, amala, iyan and soup on Sunday and still complain that things are hard for them. They are eating healthy and natural food than the Oyinbo people o . Yet, they believe the whites are living better than them. Hmn.

No 99% earn that money in canada, in their dreams though. hmmmmm

salford1:
200k. That is a family doctor's wage in Canada. How many people will earn that? Maybe too 0.5% lol.

I wish every one the best. experience is often the best teacher.

And my family in nigeria,what should i do with them. when they ask for money? Tell them i am saving right ?

mfm04622:
That leaves you with more than 1K Canadian Dollars to save! Still good oo

When u land in canada or US or austrila or U.K you would understand that money is everything. The day wey u know pay land lord, u go sabi say kaki no be leather, their is no i beg oga i never get money.

Dipwater:
Even if its 15 million dollars every month to live in naija i dont care .i will relocate to any peaceful country


abeg the madness is now affecting me badly.money is not everthing .peace of mind in a stable country,where there are opportunities for my children is all i crave for

Let me ask u a question are u based abroad? if no then u would simply understand certain things. .

dazzlingd:
The question we should ask people shouting tax is how much they have saved from their income here in Nigeria.
I buy generator, buy fuel, pay electricity bill, noise pollution and air pollution from my generator detriment to health...
Roads are bad leading to higher cost of car maintenance.
My pumping machine had fault last month, I knew how much I spent. We fix our water ourselves.
Security is worrisome, before u make a case to police u have to settle them.
Land lord association make their roads themselves, contribute to provide security.
All these is worse than tax and yet you suffer poor amenities, poor health care.
Never pray to have health issue in this country, you will hate yourself.

Yet someone is shouting tax tax tax.....

Worst of all, we face everyday of our life fighting for survival, the time I use to worry about the bad road, generator, security etc could have been well spent thinking creatively.
Abeg oo, nothing comes free, the people that built their country did not build it on a bed of rose...if you want to explore other countries, do it and pay the tax..with hopes of getting rewarded... Not shouting trash that people are suffering in other countries.. Lol, please that kind suffer better pass this one.
15million pere, people are shouting business, doing business with 15million in the part of the world where the difficulty of doing business is second to none

lol. PCI DSS na for banks etc. this fools white people and their standard of classifying things .

segzy3:
poverty capital of the world indeed!dont br fooled by the fake statistics the white bandy about.if I may ask u what are the indices the so called whites take into consideration before arriving at thier stupid figures.u want to tell me the whites stay in the villages to know such indices as pci,standard of living etc.its not all what a white man tells u that is correct

very delusional.....hmm

chidekings:
Most of you are delusional

makavelian:
God bless you bro... You spoke my damn mind... Many people just shouting 15mil... How much is 15mil in Nigeria of today...? Well I won't blame you guys.. Because most of the people talking haven't made money in this clime and also haven't spent yet... If your hand dun touch block you go know say that money wey you dey holla for an small money.. That na second billing money, few months after you down... Move to a safer and secure a better life for your self and your unborn kids... Country where you are safe and comfortable with the little you make... Do you know how much it cost people to even fuel their damn car a year, do you know what it takes to fuel and maintain your generator... Do business and it drians out people will say you don't know how to trade... Bleep off this zoo of a country and smile all your life....

And u come they advise people. Anyways its their choice . werin concern me.

GeneralShepherd:
And yes the weather in Canada sucks big time anyway

In Nigeria do u pay for receiving calls. u only recharge as at when due. Some people in Canada do not have phones. i am about upgrading my phone plan the price is $110 for monthly contract. guy does that sound cheap to u ?

GeneralShepherd:
I just broke down my phone bill in Australia and compared it with Nigeria. You pay 60 for unlimited calls and unlimited data. Try and use data as you like and make calls as you like and tell me how much ypur bill will be in Nigeria.

You also know that you don't have to have a phone contract at least in Australia, you can still top up right?

I know for a fact that living in Australia is better than living in Canada generally by the way. So I feel your pain ab out Canada
