One problem you will never want to have in US/ Canada is health problem

I really think they are overrated. Especially in the US, the healthcare is so damn expensive. Americans do medical tourism to get better and affordable treatment in neighboring countries

Racism is one thing that most blacks running away from Nigeria will never get used to.


I almost punch a bite fool to death one time.


I can't stay in any white man's country.


Using a bus to school and they will rather stand than sit next to you. Or use the next bus if there's any black person in the bus.


Id rather be happy mingling with my fellow blacks in my country than live a celibate life of loneliness. You can't even rizz a pretty colleague at work or talk about your feelings.

During Thanksgiving, you will feel like you're far from home. Some blacks there will even make you feel like a monkey because they're black Americans.... And you're African.

Please keep shut on what you don't know.

Healthcare can only be delayed if you don't declare an emergency. There's absolutely no way an emergency patient will not receive care in at most an hour.

Canada has health insurance. The US does not have but all hospitals are mandated by US law to handle emergencies regardless of financial status. Unlike the sham going on in Nigeria, a hospital can never reject you for lack of funds in the US.

The reason people do not like to seek emergency care is because the bills are high and thus they end up deducting from their paycheck for several months. This is could potentially harm your credit score if you delay payments for too long.

However, there's literally nothing like not getting treatment cause you cannot afford it.

Wow!

Odekunle Oddy, wordsmith. Those who lived in Indy hall , University of Ibadan around 2007 to 2011 will definitely remember him. He was a member of Indy Hall Press those years and very popular in UI then.

So sad!

Its expensive but not unaffordable bruh. I believe unaffordable means you cannot access it again.

I’m not shitting on the Canada healthcare system or supporting it. BUT the fact is, at the moment he was complaining, it was already too late.

At the time he made that comment, the chances of him surviving gastric cancer was 6%.

is it all countries? Blacks in America have a very violent reputation which they are even proud of. You can't blame someone for being cautious and not wanting to get robbed in broad daylight

Credit score has nothing to do with healthcare. While Canada has health system challenge itself and there are cases where people have died waiting to be attended to either in emergency or for other reasons.

it's unfortunate the young man died from something an emergency would not likely save him from. I am guessing he attended the emergency for another ailment.

Sad.
I thought they said health care system abroad is better and more reliable?

Why are Nigerians there coming down with cancer? Is it the kind of food they eat there?

Mat God give his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

At Stage 4 cancer the doctors probably didn’t deem it as an emergency at that point. In their mind you don go already.One day all of us go die.
