First, I want to acknowledge my wife and daughter, they both made this year more bearable
I was able to take one of the wildest risk in the bid to chase my dreams.
It worked out to some extent at first, I made my first multiple millions this year, within the later part of the year, I lost 80% of my accumulated wealth already... Which pushed me into depression for a month and a half but I'm walking my way back to the top now... This year was alround the best for me and my family so far
But I'm thankful to God that my standard of living is increased highly and I'm able to take on more family responsibilities.
Life's been good and living it as a risk taker makes it more intriguing.

Op80:

mattsejuro:

He’s a liar then.

If he’s complaining about the harsh cold weather or maybe the “tasteless’ food, I could give him a little pass. But expecting to meet a bunch of noisy and violent dudes playing monkey post football in the streets of a sane environment is not a culture shock. It’s stupidity.

Even in Nigeria, he can’t have that stupid luxury in some neighborhoods. It’s not culture shock in some of these Nigerian neighborhoods but all of a sudden, it’s culture shock as soon as he lands in Canada.

That was how I met one Lagos boy outside the country some years back and he was seriously lamenting on how he misses the chaotic Lagos over a very orderly environment. I just left him abruptly. I never talked to him again until I left the city. Rolling with those kinds of people will put you in trouble over there. Before you know, he will convince you to join him in setting up a monkey post in the middle of the street.

Look, their major problem is that they don’t have anyone to oppress over there.

anu3:
Yeah sis... Thanks for your reaching out.

An online employer once told me a tax number was a major requirement before I could start working with her, so I had to go and register and get TIN. Later turned the offer down due to some reasons.

I wouldn't have bothered at all, but you know I got strictly changed after secondary school about 13 years ago—of which I almost passed away.

So, owing to God's command I've embraced taxing whether I like it or not. They told me back then that I would have come by the end of the year as it's once in a year.

I think I'll still to go and ask them for clarifications...

anu3:
Hello, please could anyone with experience tell me how to full my duties to the government in terms of tax. I've never done it before.

And would I calculate it in dollars or naira; if dollars, will it be in official rate or parallel market rate.

If you know what's right, please let me know.

Thanks.

Most QSR jobs are tedious and stressful.

In Nigeria, they have association (AFCON) just like Private schools so if you leaving one QSR to another the pay difference is not much.

Use Social media to check the reviews from previous staff.

However, I did not enjoy my stay at the company due to hectic and stressful work environment, I resigned May 2022, although the pay is high but debit will reduce the pay at the end of the month.

There is no room for growth and no job security. A typical day at work is filled with tension because you are afraid to make mistake knowing fully well that you will pay for any mistake and some mistakes lead to dismissal even when they know that it wasn't intentional. No HMO, you go for maternity leave after 2 year

The owners of the organization are lovely people but the management staff are not but later found out that the owners are actually the ones behind the demonic managers.

If it a teaching job, welcome to modern slavery especially if it's a school in trenches.

As regards bank work, it depends on the bank plus it very stressful especially if you are not at the HQ

For Manufacturing, run from Asians or Indian owned because it a sweat shop, you work like jaki, the pay is poor, you could get fired, no job security, no HMO, no benefits just your salary. Some Nigeria who own manufacturing companies are devil incarnate especially one at that hostel b/stop in Ikotun. However, the handlers of the manufacturing firms most atimes are the ones that do the devilish act

Trading (buying & selling), depends on the person who owns the company but with my little time in the company, damnit I suffer sha, you go work like say work no dey finish, just few of them have good benefits others are all about the profit.


FMCG, hmmmm I don't want to mention name but, work dey sha plus some of the Indians there have turned our ladies into something else.


Consulting, hmmmm, it was actually a training ground or you use them as a stepping stone to greater things, just ignore the insults and learn as much as you can.

Hotels, lounge & Clubs, if you are not careful 😉 you can from there enter street because you will see things you haven't seen before and be wondering are we actually the most prayerful country in the world. 1.5% of the owners of hotels are saint because the less than 3 star 🌟 rating onwers are womaniser and drink heavily. Some will openly ask you out, their friends and family members would be hitting on you.

Government work, it the best place to work, bribery is the order of the day, even your oga has certain % you remit to him, you can even do back door 🚪 runs without the knowledge of your boss e.g the judiciary.
In addition, you can come to work anytime you feel like a case in study is Nigerian lecturer, they sell hand out with reckless abandone, cancel class if they don't feel like coming, grades are sold to the highest bidder, the class rep must sell a certain amount of his text but to even get a "" grade otherwise he fails the course.

Dubetex96:
who can help me set up a LinkedIn profile m

GYBABA:
I don't understand why one spaghetti is on its way to 1k. Just one for crying out loud. My tired is tired

sukkot:
lol. on many jobs In naija if you are not cutting corners they try to get you fired because that means you are the weak link who can spoil everything for them. It’s like when they employ those righteous people in government jobs they always get frustrated out of the position

sukkot:
speak for yourself , nigerians are known for cutting corners. if they are so hardworking why is nigeria a shithole ? lol. stop cappin bro

Gadafii:
An average Nigerian is hard working stop cappin

Working from 9-5 here in Nigeria and gettting paid paltry 80-100k monthly is not compared to how much you get when you work same hours over there where you are likely to be paid between 18-25$ per hour minimum

Some Nigerians work two to three shifts because they know how much they will make from both jobs so don’t come here and be saying Nigerians like awoof

Na genZ spoil everything pata pata, they don’t want to work or go to school or even learn a craft but rather be online doing TikTok challenge and uploading mara pupo dance 💃 🕺

I know of a boy who recently left Nigeria for UK, his dad has been there for years, he was a big time yahoo boy and owns a Lexus car, his dad was able to get him a job and he led last month

Nigerians know how to work hard and party harder that’s just it

sukkot:
nothing like working smart in the uk. If they require you to wipe oyinbo yansh for 12 hours you will spend all 12 hours wiping yansh

Bliss62:



Well from my own experience oo, Nigerians or Japarians are hardworking and not lazy

Pakistani, Indian, Lebanese, Arab, comiunity would gather together to socialize, help themselves, intermarry, network

Nigerian neighbors won't even great themselves

One time our philipino HR back then needed, workers, overseas ... see as Pakistani, Indian were submiting CV for there people, we Nigerians submit nada, no help, we still dey survive



.

Supremos:
Dear Mods, let's escalate this issue and get relevant authorities to do something about this issue.

SE road is terrible.

Jasonekah98:
Sand🤷

nomolos92:
Nigerian or foreign rice?

Nuzo1:
In Canada?
How many supermarket and school shootings have you heard happened in Canada especially when compared to Boko, iswap, ipob, Fulani and police shootings in Nigeria? Compare the numbers and tell us who has more mental illness over the other?

This particular lifestyle the op is complaining about is what most Nigerians pray for in this Nigeria. Living in a crowded and most times violent neighborhoods but as soon as they make a little money, they move to ‘isolated’ neighborhoods, suburbs and estates ….and be thankful for the upgrade.

But when it comes to Canada where almost everyone lives a life of an average Banana island resident, it becomes a problem.

I guess the major problem our people usually have in situations like the op is that he doesn’t see very poor people living in face me I face you to make himself feel good.

Nobody send their papa.

pendragonbladgo:
Instead of you to use that money to go into Agriculture in Nigeria, you are there lamenting


Japa, no country is easy ohhhh

ednut1:
skydiving is meant to be a one time activity or once in like 5 years. The risk of dying from it is high.

Mayeldah:
Yeah, not in everything though. But we are thriving!

EleventhWeirdo:
Spoken like a true Canadian! God bless my future Country, Canada. Very soon

ednut1:
