As if he wasn't told that before leaving the zoo.



This is always the impression untill they get used to the lifestyle and the environment.


Some get lucky and settle with a beautiful white girl and some w*nk off for the rest of their life there.
Nothing like a luck. Those White girls have inner eyes and very smart to know the right man to go on date with, this is because they are not easily swayed by material things, unlike Nigerian girls that fall cheaply for the wrong guy because of material possession and latter be complaining about men. A White or Asian girl can easily know if you're likely to be a good guy just by having struck up a couple of conversations with you. Nigerian women on the other hand are moved by superficial things.

You should start a lecture series for Japa peeps.

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!

What people need when they get there is adjustment to everything including socialization.

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

That explains the high number of mental illnesses over there. Supermarket killings,school shootings and so on. Everything good in life comes with a price tag sha.
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.

winter is between 3 to 5 months depending on the province. There are winter activities people here do do. There are basketball and hockey games one can go watch. There are indoor show, concerts etc. this was last year somewhere in Toronto. Nigerians will go to a place they know is cold. Instead of integrating. They go begin cry loneliness like mumu. Today alone i don go swim and do ice skating. Going back home now. Off to a party at night 😆
