I've the privilege to visit onitsha last month and honestly nothing to write about, no single good road. 99.8% of housing there are old, like those abandoned government upstairs that haven't been painted for years. Not to talk about the Agbero, you'll start seeing those igbo boys in delta state before the bridge causing chaos and collecting money from drivers and if you refuse they'll start stoning your vehicle.. if you see the way these igbo Agbero behave, very unculture and uncivilized people, they'll come after you when they see you buy too much clothes and you hire or in keke and you put your bag in extra seat in the keke. They're ready to kill themselves because of 100# the level of poverty in that state SMH. You'll see average igbo boys picking damaged irons in street with no hope of tomorrow.

I spoke with the tricycle driver and ask him if this is how the entire state look and he said yes and I also ask him what did Obi do while he was governor and he said he tried his best and repair some road but the material is substandard. The only good road in that onitsha is the picture OP posted here and it's federal road not state road. The road is from delta state through river Niger down to onitsha. That's the only good long road in that state.. nothing in that state and it wasn't Peter Obi that repair the road that the OP posted it was federal government.

mmadu5:

Gernny:
That's strange visa is usually states a month of entry max

They have started new session.. I'm guessing he apply very late and middlesex rush the Visa and he need to be in the university to register his courses and start class.. if you aren't serious about travelling why apply? Una too de complain about everything for Nigeria

Lonestar124:

It's best you visit during Christmas period because of the Ososo Carnival.. the Ososo Carnival is like Calabar Carnival and ososo girls are too beautiful.. the town is in Edo state.

Mom from ososo.. hopefully I'll visit her hometown soon.

Gernny:

as a forex trader in Europe you will be paying income tax compared to USA

You won't be paying taxes, Ireland and other European countries see it as betting but in the USA it's a must you pay tax especially when you are hedging and you're even forbidden by law not to trade certain pairs for long against DXY (dollar) and you can't trade nas100, us30 and sp500 as CFD in the USA unless you are trading them as futures, Es mini etc. Most USA traders that trade stock options have move to Dubai, and other developing countries because of the tax in the USA..

Even the tax money USA go USA am fight war without thinking of elevating the masses and introduce free healthcare.. even if you get tax in Europe, just know say na your money government take de pay health workers, so people that are sick of cancer and other diseases are benefitting from the tax, na the money government de share among the poor and African immigrants. At least the tax is for a favourable cost. Not going to war and killing people.

IgboNiile:



You are talking absolutely rubbish and nonesense , how can you say this about Ontario . Man I bet you never enter plane before mugu . You are talking trash about a place you don't know anything about. Canada deny you visa you come here to Yan Buhari and tinubu Yan's mugu

You came here to curse without making any points.. you're a du#my.

And he didn't even mentioned the expensive real estate market in Canada. Getting a shitty house for more than $1m without pool and the house will look outdated AF. You can't even compare Canada to Australia. You Nigerians don't do research.

pansophist:


Too big that everything is so far (only the province of Ontario is bigger than Nigeria but has less population than Lagos). None-existent bike paths/culture and cities are built for cars and not for pedestrians.

Huge shopping malls everywhere, that one can only visit by car. Shopping was more of a chore you planned due to lack of small family owned supermarkets and shops inside your streets. Anyone that have been to Brussels, London or Amsterdam will understand this. There are streets that cars are banned so people/cyclist can thrive.

Too segregated, and people hardly mix, too cold. Culture too americanized (no such thing as an organic Canadian culture), is too far from Africa and Europe, and too expensive to live in, to list a few.

I am not an economic immigrant, I just wanted a change in environment and was exploring Canada by visiting it, but when I was there, it was like bleh, I can't live here. Even Vancouver that is considered the warmest rains a lot. Made me appreciate Europe even better.

For example, I can be in any corner of the over 40 European countries via flight, which is really cheap. But it's not the same in North America. Europe is well built and connected, and trains leaves to other European capitals from your city.

In Europe, it's common for people to live in Belgium and work in Netherlands, or live in Finland and work in Sweden. You won't even notice that you've crossed into another country except that your phone starts sending message that you're roaming and perhaps, different language in road signs.

Also European weather is diversed. If you like winter, Scandinavia is there, or hot weather, then Portugal/Cyprus/malta/Italy/Spain are there. If you like wind and rain, Ireland and Netherlands will give you that. There is something for you.

In Europe, cultures are organic. if you drive just two hours from Poznan (Poland) to Berlin (Germany), the language, currency, culture, architecture, and everything look different. True diversity is organic, rich, and distinct.

Canada is too soulless, artificial, and the centuries old mega structures are nonexistent. Why do you think American filmmakers go to Europe to shoot movies that requires old European architecture? Canada is a newly built country.

And also, as a business person, population density is really important to me. Canada is bigger than the whole 27 EU countries twice, but the EU has about 460 Million people, compare with Canada which is about 35 million.

So if you need a huge population base to sell stuff to, Europe is better, and I am not even adding the population of Ad-hoc European countries that surrounds the EU (e.g Turkey, Serbia, Russia, etc).

And for families, the EU is better. Free education, free healthcare, generous social services, and long maternity/paternity leave. The student debt common in North America is not a thing in Europe. I once had an American classmate that owes 70k USD in student loans, and I felt sorry for her. A young adult starting life as a debtor is such a shame.

And oh, people are fatter there. It's because the food laws are not as strong as in Europe, and the walking and biking infrastructure is just not a thing. As a tourist, I felt immobilized that I can't just use public transport, unless I have a car, or use uber. So people do not walk/bike a lot, which is exercise.

And especially Canada is a hotbed for wokism, its like all the homos, radical feminists, masculine women, and feminine men moved there lol, as in, I just feel like punching people for no reason lol, just kidding

So there you go, that's my assessment of Canada when I was there. But hey, it's my opinion, and should not be taken as gospel. What is good for Ada might be bad for Adamu, so be guided.

One more important factor is the time difference.. if you're a financial analysts and trade in the stock or money market (forex) you'll appreciate Europe more.. you can't be awake 2am-6am trading London session or wake by 7AM and start trading new York session.. and depending on where you live in Canada time will be different from new York..

As a Nigerian that watch football and nature and love travelling, Europe is more better than Canada or the United states because Europe give you plenty options to live within the European countries Visa free for unlimited period. If it's too cold in one country, you can easily hopped on a train and move to a warmer country. I feel Europe is more safe

How much? Carpenter Max 27$ per hour.
A Project Manager makes 60$ per hour.

You dey encourage am to go learn Carpenter but you took your time to learn and trade forex which is more financially rewarding than being a carpenter.

As Carpenter income dey very okay, why you no learn the Carpenter. You no see say you be wicked person.
You dey use full bucket of water take bath but you dey advise another person to bath with small cup...dey talk of passion. Na passion you find come abroad. Evil soul you are.

What is wrong in advising someone not to settle for less? Because that is the whole point of my message to him. I myself am not an IT person ,it does not fit my personality but I work closely with developers and it's more financially rewarding for me than driving a forklift or being a carpenter.

I don't know how much carpenter make but I know they live really good. I know trade skill pay alot and some of them even earn more than graduates in western world and they don't owe education debts. And government tax their ass to pay student loans for some graduates that can't afford to pay back.. life is about doing what you are passionate about that'll give you satisfaction.

otipoju:


Liar!!!!

I trade funded account of $200k and get 85% of the profit made. You think trading is like before when Nigerians suffer to fund their accounts because of the economy??

Nothing to prove here.. I'm saying people have their choice to make.. not everyone can learn forex trading, it broke me plenty of times, i gave up more than I can counted but I found myself going back and looking at chart each day for the past four years and I'm too resilient. Some people can't even bear losing their money, they just want to work and earn then save for the future.. if the OP is more passionate about Carpentry and handy job no need to advise him or insult him and calling him dull. We all can't be doctors, lawyers, politicians/president.. trying to be what you're not destined to be will make you more poor and later you'll quit..

Me personally I hate looking for job or talking to people and love being in charge. Some people love the rat race and working under someone.. you can't force your ideas into someone.

I've seen ADs on programmers in Nigeria doing videos and placing their ad on the internet and ad boards asking people if they want to create websites etc.. some programmers that I know personally and they work in lagos, they're being paid 100k to #200k.

I can't do that, I can travel anywhere in the world and not look for job and live really good. Even though the country timezone is different I'll shift to stock options trading and live really good. So we think different.. while you are advising people to do a skill and start looking for job then working under someone.. some people aren't interested in that kind of lifestyle...

Have a great day....

I've been on this forum for more than 15 years. Since 2007. Not one scandal, no business transaction with anyone, no advertisement of any product, no begging for or soliciting for anything from anyone. I comment and rarely reply DM's. Clean as a whistle.

He is in Canada and there are thousands of open positions in many fields. This is not Nigeria where unemployment rate is 50% and IT penetration is still minimal.

IT is a very very broad field. Not everyone will be a software developer. If your brain is so dead that you cannot find one field there to chuck head na you sabi.

There are other fields too. Phlebotomy, Medical Billing and Coding, Insurance Claims Adjusting. Project Management, Copywriting.

The person concerned greatly appreciates my input cause I have opened his eyes to how to prosper in his new environment.

Young Nigerians in the USA and Canada are killing it. Working 2- 3 easy jobs from the comfort of their bedrooms as knowledge workers with a combined annual gross of ranging from 150 to 250 thousand dollars per annum.

Why should he not invest two years in his life to aquire an in-demand skill and secure his future and prosper in an environment that guarantees success if you put the work in.

Na where you eyes reach na him you go see.

If the guy brain dull...instead of driving forklift, I will advise him to kuku get a Commercial Driver License and start driving trucks across Canada. That one will pay him more than Forklift driving. That one na warehouse job na....you go dey struggle to pay bills all your life.

Wake up!!!

You don't know how to read or you just love to comment with comprehension? Na everybody love IT work?? You nor see where the OP say he don start to learn Carpentry and he want specialise on it? Why you de force people to learn things dem nor de passionate about? You know how much carpenter make a year?

BigYash:
The way he and those nairaland scammers say it en,one will think its very easily to learn or say na surgery them wan use put am inside person brain. To learn and master IT skills no be beans o

Lol, don't mind that s1mp. Like say he nor see where OP write say he de learn carpentry and he want specialise on that path.. the 75k annual salary he de talk for IT job. Financial traders de make am a week. I make around 25k a month because of my equity now.. make he go learn forex if his brain nor go explodes.

I too know plenty for nairaland... leave people to enjoy their lives and choices.

hammed71:

mekanta7:

mekanta7:
Another thing you guys should have in mind is that Mauritius Immigration is very strict. They will deport you because of the least mistake. They deported 3 guys that were on the same flight with me... I really felt bad for those guys... after all the money spent... OMG...
Just like God to Moses, seeing the promise land but you won't enter.
They ask you questions about your intended course.

Can you share more light about girls there “Dating” read most of the people there are foreigners, Are there white girls there today or just Indian girls and black.

Q

traveladdict:
please travel
your investment can disappear in nigeria

Nigeria is one of the worst places to do business. Even real Estate (renting of apartment) is the worst investment to do in Nigeria talking from experience.

majority of my friends that came to Nigeria and invested in agriculture biz during Goodluck tenure are all complaining and many have closed their business regretting why they didn’t make a down payment for an apartment and put it on rent and the other are complaining of exchange rate, make #3m for the year and after all expenses around 1.3m is left convert it to dollar ($2500) for a year after all the calls from Nigeria and the stress

Kandeed:


Depends....if ur this typa business inclined person starting a business in Nigeria is great but on the other hand coming to America would make ur business senses dull cuz the system abroad is such a one that you just gotta work under people to make money

It's important to know what goes with you. someone like me living abroad no flow with my destiny I just dey force myself ni. if Buhari comot I go come back

So everyone in western countries are all employees? Nobody do business here? Everyone business sense are dull here?

mhkent:

Please can you mentor me on forex, I have been trying to learn it.

It’s hard and take months to learn.. two people I once mentor for free give up half way (Basics stage, not even price action or institutional trading).. since then it seems like a waste of time for me to mentor anyone else...


Sorry, you can find someone else to mentor you..

UDUJ:


Just imagine the idiot saying he can give a daily return of 5% on investment. There is no investment in the world that can promise such returns. And I am sure some gullible fellows will fall for his scam. It's sad really.

No worries bro.o was just surprised when I saw the mention

How on earth can someone make money each day from a volatile market. If he’s a trader as claimed he’ll be risking money trying to make more until he blow the money and look for another victim to invest but something is telling me he’s a scam and a no good person trying to scam people in dis hard economy and simps will still fall for it..

Majority of Nigerians want to make it quick by any means. They don’t want to invest in the time and patience to learn and read. No investment in oneself.

UDUJ:


Why did you give me a mention on this? Am I the one who posted it? Please go back and check for the scammer that posted this shit and re-edit your post

The stupid guy have deleted his post.


Sorry for the mention.


I was really angry when I see the post because I’m also a trader as well. People like him give us bad name and reputations.
Don’t know why he decided to scam Nigerians or risk people money with synthetic indices, a very volatile market with 20 lot and no risk management.

And he know majority of Nigerians are just passerby and the economy isn’t good.

If he’s truly a trader he can easily get huge funds with foreign companies and trade for them.

Or he can send his trade that’s he took today and send here.


I make more than 5k-10k weekly and I will never come online asking people to invest in a volatile market or asking them to pay for mentorship class.

Aloysius10 Post your trade of today here. The date actually

Aloysius10:
you chose to eat alone while I chose to share mine and bring people out of poverty

Please stop begging people to invest, if truly you’re a trader, you’re disgracing us. Be content and learn how to grow account. I see you trade just synthetic indices. It’s too volatile and you’re using 20lot no risk management or nothing, stop playing with people money.


I make more than 5k-10k weekly and you won’t see me or anyone that knows what they’re doing, making stupid adverts or asking people to invest money on volatile market. You should know better that Nigeria economy isn’t good and people are struggling to passerby nowadays.


Assuming you are even offering mentorship I won’t be dis angry with you but you are acting stupid or greedy


You can see the trades I’m in now

Aloysius10:
Thank God for everything
