Demand for dollar is gradually getting very low.

It's actually expected, USD should be traded around 1,000 naira by now, if not because nigeria matter is always dicey

Good evening, please which commercial bank gives the best interest rate on savings account? I don’t want MFBs. Thanks.

I recommend Gtb, they are really trying in that aspect

Not impressed until it reach 1k atleast

Qoko:
Check the meaning of beautiful in your google, you will agree that your MMIA is a like a dust bin when compared with JNB in South-African, MMIA lacks proper maintenance since inception, and this make it look like Iyana-Ipaja motor-park,

Keep arguing blindly

VenExchangee:
2021 December, from turkey to Lagos, I currently use only Abuja International airport

Ohh I see.
You are right, that airport is terrible back then but right now, it's a different thing entirely.

The new terminal was commissioned by buhari in 2022

VenExchangee:
Lagos airport the most dirty and unkept airport I've seen, too much heart during check out, those niggas that check passport are almost all beggers.

Remembered when flight landed, the car that brought the stairs to come down don't have light and the run way got no light either.

Bag area is nothing to speak of, dirty airport

When last did you use the airport?

You must be talking about the old terminal which is under renovation.

New terminal is very beautiful

Forex hoarder should think twice before January.

E get why

Naira investment,,,, seems it's now the best time to go fully in it.

Sometimes, what many Nigerians call saving money feels more like living in deprivation. They can't buy good clothes, go on holidays, or even enjoy decent food, often living in poor conditions. It makes me wonder if life is just about saving and living like a slave in bondage. I know many Nigerians with Canadian passports who have never even stepped out of Toronto, all in the name of saving.
I remember stopping by a store to buy meat, and my friend suggested that chicken is cheaper, so he switched from eating meat to pork or chicken. I just shook my head. If I can live well and eat well in Nigeria, what's the point of coming here and living like a cockroach just to save money?I visited a man once and noticed the living room light was off, and the children were using the TV's light as their source of illumination. When I asked why we were in darkness, he said they were practicing the culture of saving electricity. But inside, I thought, "This is practicing the culture of a poverty mindset. These are the same people who, back in Lagos, would drink beer and wine, but once they get to Canada, they can't even sit in a bar for a day to enjoy a drink. People are going to extremes all in the name of saving. It's so sad!

Hmmm
On point

My Mercedes ML350 2010 model jerks when ever I'm accelerating or trying to overtake. What could be the possible cause please house 🙏🏾

Experienced this before.
I changed plugs, filter, pump still nothing.

Not until I changed my mass air flow sensor.
The thing is weak but you won't notice

Ievi:
By God's grace, the meeting will produce good result. Gradually, we shall get there.

Amen
Ase waaa

We need to start been positive in this country.

Enough of all the negativity about our country Nigeria

maternal:
My point exactly. Gaslight and change the topic, instead of looking in the mirror. It's the Nigerian way. I share my vulnerabilities and admit my mistakes. Hence my success in Canada. The same effort those have used to dig up old posts, and follow me throughout nairaland, have they used the same energy to be successful in Canada ? This is not about me at all.

My successful billionaire friend....

Please elaborate more on how to be successful by driving Uber or by doing cleaning services, so we can also become a successful man like you.

We rise by lifting others abeg 🙏

funkyy598:
Comparing an Uber delivery driver in Toronto, whose wages barely cover their bills—as evidenced by the recent protests by uber drivers in the city—to a doctor in another country is simply unfair. I’ve followed your posts for a while, and in one of them, you even compared a floor cleaner in Canada earning more than a bank manager in Nigeria without even comparing the cost of living . It’s clear that your perspective is heavily influenced by your experience of living in abject poverty in Nigeria. However, arriving in Canada, working as an Uber driver, and living on minimum wage doesn’t give you the right to criticize others who came here with professional qualifications, striving for better career opportunities, even if they’ve faced challenges or disappointment along the way.

You’ve also shared in your posts that you come from a "wicked" family that sabotaged your business back home. While that’s unfortunate, not everyone shares those experiences. Many of us come from decent, supportive families with different aspirations and expectations. Please stop projecting your childhood and adult trauma, pain, struggles, and the abject poverty you escaped onto every situation. Your past hardships shouldn’t become the standard by which you measure others’ success or ambitions in life.

Everyone’s journey is unique, and respecting that diversity is essential.

Well said 🤗

Opeyemi007:
Your number one worry should be explaining why your pastor is sponsoring your vacation with your kids.

Exactly

That story won't fly, not even now that Canada is shutting it door

Usefulsense:
Sir, it will and I will tell you why.

You have very good roads.

You have healthy water to drink.

You have constant electricity.

You will worry less of thieves, armed robbers etc.

If you buy one litre of fuel abroad, it is one litre.
You live I'm a clean and healthy environment.

You will worry less of malaria
No body will harass you on the road.

Above all, you will have peace of mind.

What other standard of living do you expect?

Lol

Comradealex1:
Please I have been so worried since I got the information about Canada putting a stop to 10 years visa and giving discretional visas this time around.. please may I know if it also affects those of us that has the 10 years multiple visa already cos i never go yet ?

No issue at all till after your renewal

Enjoy your 10yrs multiple visa

Someone is about to learn the hard way

Gavrelino123:
Hello all, Greetings,

I want to enquire if I'm the only one having this problems with GT BANK.

Normally, you can view all your treasury bill investment when you login to Gtbank online.
But it doesn't show anymore.

Now,It only shows me my bank balance!

I can't see all my treasury bill investments on the online platform.

Can someone kindly confirm if this is a new change?

Or am I the only one experiencing this?

Thanks in advance.

Same with my GTB online banking.

Seems like they are still working on that platform cos many fixture is still missing.

GTB is not back fully.

For the NTB your investment is very safe

affoncad:
Your response highlights a common issue in the way we talk about the immigrant experience, especially within the Nigerian community. Often, when one or two people find success, it can lead to victim-blaming of the thousands who are facing difficulties, as if they aren’t doing enough or aren’t smart enough. This attitude is all too common and dismisses the real challenges that many immigrants face.
It’s important to celebrate success stories, [b]but let’s not ignore the reality for the majority. [/b]The system can be unfair, and thousands of new immigrants genuinely struggle to find suitable jobs. But often, as Nigerians, we hide our struggles and celebrate small wins as though they reflect everyone’s experience in Canada. Your examples of a doctor or tech professional succeeding can feel like an insult to the many who are still struggling in silence and making huge effort and still could not get a much desire job or any level of financial freedom!

Deep

etrange:
Where are people not struggling/suffering? The problem is that we Africans (myself inclusive) keep moving from one West country to another thinking it’s always better on the other side until we realize the struggle is everywhere.

Truth

zinaunreal:
The canada sef no even sweet like before. People struggle there too

Struggle?

Many are suffering there

Canada does not deserve to be called a developed country.

As a first world with a very big country and large economy, why are they in mess? With just about 1m surge in population.

Canada is overrated abeg, nothing person wan tell me.


These people keep tightening up their door day by day hmmmm

Overrated country that can't accommodate just about 40million people....

Nawa for Canadian government o.

Canada is just a developing country, ordinary surge of about 1m people, it's noise everywhere

tppzzy01:
Hello house, please I want to move to Canada next year with my family. I contacted an agent, he told me 3m for one adult, 5m for two adult, 7m for family of 5(going with my kids), but am thinking of going first because of finance, then bring my family later when I secure a job or settle down well. I am currently living in Kuwait. Should I go ahead and use the agent or DIY?
Note that the agent intends to do a Visiting Visa for me. Or
If I am to DIY how do I go about it?

Is that your agent the Canadian consular?
Putting price on visa as if na him go issue am 😁.

Paying exorbitant money for ordinary visit visa, which can lead someone into depression after on.

Don't even try it, taking family of 5 to Canada with visit visa.

The agent just want to use your money flex because Canada visa is one of the hardest visa to get of recent, if you like show 200m pof

People have different purpose with Japa but it's not a wise decision to leave a very good paying job and a decent life to go start afresh in the land of unknown.

Toyoakoms:
Ok will also see about this but he claimed the fuses on the ECU work perfectly

So you still believe that Olodo rewire?

Get another good Ecu for test first, I'm very sure that's the problem.

Do not allow these people to do more damages to your car

Jeboy:
That's you...the people japaaing most are top staff of Nigerian elites company.

There is a community of mtn Nigeria ex staff in Canada. Dey play.

If you don't have a very high profile they consider you a refugee seeking risk.

Not true.

Toyoakoms:
Good morning everyone, please I need help with my 2006 Honda Civic. I’m a first time car owner and barely have any knowledge on cars.

So I had gotten this car in September, it was inspected, everything worked perfect with no issues. More recently I noticed the AC was not cooling anymore and was blowing hot air. So an AC guy came to inspect and said there was a leak. The leak was fixed and AC refrigerant was added and the AC ran cold again.

However I immediately noted that the AC cuts off after very few minutes and would not come on again, so he said that it’s a rewire’s job that the rewire will need to check the fuses.

We drove the car to the rewire and he started checking the fuses, next thing we noted was not he was unable to start the car again. The car cranks but just won’t start. He spent the whole day trying to get the car looked through the sparks, fuses, fuel pump and called other professionals and none of them were able to get the car to start and we had to leave the car at the mechanic shop.

I’m so bothered cause literally nothing was wrong with the car before now. It ran perfectly and never had to fix anything on it. Please can anyone help

Also worthy to note was one of the other rewires took note that the car key light was not present on the dashboard.

Please help 🙏🏾

The rewire messed up with your Ecu brain box.

Let them stop messing up with your wiring, they should replace the brain box first and see

trium:
I don't want to be a pessimist but don't you think 2 weeks is too long. When they sent emails and texts about this upgrade, I was saying silently that I hope it doesn't turn out to be like last time. Alas!

What happen the last time?

NowisGod109:
Ok thanks so much, I will do just that. I will use my gt $card. I really appreciate you

I hope you have good travel history?

E get why 🤐
