To those saying he should focus on making money and forget about isolation, what you guys fail to understand is that one cannot make money if he isn't in good mental and physical health. To those saying he should come back or stop complaining, the dude only shared his observation. That doesn't necessarily mean Nigeria is better. The truth is that when you travel, you'll see things that you wish weren't the case, and there's nothing bad in sharing them. Canada welcomed a lot of Nigerians this year, so expect to see more threads like this.

As a canadian citizen myself, my advice to the dude is to fearlessly put himself out there. The life we want doesn't come by chance especially in a place like Canada where you next door neighbor doesn't even know what you look like. You'll have to cautiously put yourself in a position to meet and interact with people and stay open minded (origin, race, religion, sexuality, class etc. shouldn't be a barrier). Go to meet-ups (meetup.com), get volunteer jobs to give back to the community and meet people, go the gym, bars or pubs aren't bad if it's your thing, go to the office even you're allowed to work from home, join new Comer programs, etc. Show genuine interest in people. Trust me, they're also looking for connections. Some of these things will backfire. You'll meet some people that will treat you badly or some annoying people, but don't worry. Once you make one friend, it'll double your potentials to make more cause they'll bring thier own friends into the mix. And once you have a healthy social circle, you won't see Canada as an isolation camp anymore.

Again, he should find a balance between being the guy that knows how to save money and the guy that knows how to stay simulated. Some people move to cheaper cities to save money but end up destroying their mental health cause these small cities are laid-back and they are not as diverse as the big ones. Depending on your personality, it might pay you more to live in a small condo in the city center than in a house in the suburbs. We say wants over needs, but sometimes, we confuse our needs as just wants and we end up neglecting them. Pay attention.

Good luck!

Nobody who has lived in highbrow modern estates in the Island or Abuja will come abroad and be surprised about the quietness "isolation" of the place.

Who does he want to see on the road? People going to buy indomie or satchet milk or pure water on road side shops or Aboki kiosk? Does he think he is in Mushin?

By the way, some of these things are just to create content for views,shares and likes. If he was serious, he would have said the name of the road, the day of the week and time of the day he was making that video. At least that would have provided the appropriate context to make a better judgment of the situation.

What if it was a public holiday morning in a mostly business district, would that be a surprise?

Make dem dey deceive people wey never travel out of Nigeria before.

You're not just stupid, but seemingly useless.


I asked you, why do we have the word "Luck" in the dictionary if the word doesn't exist according to you and your pastor?

Grace and luck brings unexpected favours.
Una just get strength oo
For this tinybu era
Why una dey drink paracetamol for another person headache ni?

You chose to call it grace and I chose to call it luck. And you jumped up to correct me.

You really think that everyone you see on this faceless platform is like your stupid brothers and sisters that you try to teach nonsense.

It ain’t hard to make friends
If you can’t find them offline at schools, beaches, parks, malls etc you’d definitely find people online looking to connect
If you have some game or social skills
