Imagine when peeing your urine freezes before hitting the ground, you guys are really trying. I better manage Nigeria than to live in such places

About three years ago. It was a bitter winter and I was dining at a restaurant around 11 pm in the night. It was very cold and if I remember correctly, it was -35 degrees Celsius below freezing point and if you pee outside, it freezes before hitting the ground. cold.

The restaurant was filled with everyone white except myself. I looked behind me and it was crowded with delivery drivers working for the delivery app, Skip the Dishes, waiting to pick up food orders. Nine delivery drivers and all black guys mostly Nigerian looking.

Imagine what it means to have to drive constantly in the bitter cold to deliver food when most people are either sleeping or enjoying themselves in a warm restaurant.

Some of these guys are even delivering with brand new SUVs purchased on credits and after a deeper dive, I came to realize our people here live mostly above their means to impress fellow Nigerians. They buy houses or cars they cannot afford and now have to work three jobs and drive on the side to maintain their fake lifestyles.

This is not a healthy way to live guys, learn to relax and enjoy yourself once in a while, do not live above your means and the fact that you are pre-authorized for that big mortgage, loan, or line of credit does not mean you have to accept.

Learn to live your life without trying to please or impress anyone and occasionally, take time off to have fun and enjoy yourself, take vacations.

Bro it’s just a fabricated story. Who goes out to dine or hustle when temperature is -40c.

When you have an extra bill to pay, you have no choice but to be a slave to multiple jobs. Most of these people even neglect their families working multiple jobs. I know individuals with big houses who never get to sleep in those houses, the husband is working night with other jobs and the wife is working day jobs. Even husbands and wives never get to meet each other as often as possible.
It's all about the bills here and it is a system designed to enslave you if you are not very smart.

You are just a writer writing from your imagination. You hardly get habitable part of canada hitting even minus 30 degrees talkless of minus 35 degree. Do you even know how minus 10 degree feels my writer?

I don’t go around and give unsolicited advice to adults.

Maeve7:
Where did you go to where the temperature was -35 and people delivered food with SUVs? I am excited to visit the place.

AirBay:
Hardly? Yes. But during winters some days reach -40 constantly. -20 to -38 plenty especially December and January. This is just for places like Alberta, sask, mani...Ont people may not see that low temp.

Is a lie,Edmonton didn't hit -minus 50 degree last year. I just check it. Once the temperature drops below minus 10 degrees, activities reduce everywhere. Do you guys even know how minus 5 degree feel, let alone - 35 degree.

AllenSpencer:
Seems the author is a newbie in North America.

He should also tell us how average White Americans or Canadians leave their life! He feels it’s only peculiar to Nigerians.

Do you know how many whites are soaked in mortgage, student, wedding and medical debts?

with harsh economic realities in North America today, is it blacks that are complaining the most?

Hello! To stay ahead of the game legitimately in North America, you will work your asses off.

Thedon12:
Though I live in Scotland and some part of Shetland has the same temperature with canada. Average winter temperature is -12 to -2 .

AirBay:
Thank you. Person get $300k student debt, still dy spend $30k eating out in a year.

Sapasenator:
It gets to -40C here sometimes and you have to plug in your car overnight before it could start.

AirBay:
Oga no dy sat people dy lie if you no know something, na confirm. You're in your village arguing. Nobody dy talk say activities no dy reduce now. It wont be like summer. Even calgary wy I dy hit -43 degrees around January.

Thedon12:
You still lie, which part is this, habitable part or inhabitable part. Is because you haven't experienced minus temperature before. If you experience even minus 2, you will understand. Try to get visa and explore so that you can talk from experience.

AirBay:
I lived in Edinburgh, Belfast for about 14months. Spent 6years in UK. Trust me, winters in Scotland is summer in Alberta..lol

ogbonti:
I have said it here times without nunber that visiting the western world is way different from living in the western world

Look at this mumu Nigerian - advising Nigerians abroad to take vacations and sometimes enjoy themselves - IF they yield to your advise, will you:

“unhealthy competition” and thats why a Nigerian sees another Nigerian living above their means and immediately feels compelled to do same or more so people wont laught at him or her, forgetting the race of life is oersonal - Let me stop here, I believe the wise ones reading my post can make reason of it.

Puzzlehead:
You are drawing a conclusion about Nigerians that live in North America from one incidence where you saw some dark skinned individuals lining up for food delivery in adverse weather condition.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinio, but I must say that your sample size is very small and statistically insignificant. As such your inference do fall in the spectrum of "fallacy of generalization."

I may be wrong, but I sense you may be bored or have some downtime, hence trying to generate a conversation. This is a public forum, after all.

I will advise you to expand your circle so you can have a better insight about how Nigerians in North America work and live.

No doubt, most immigrants have an adjustment phase when they have to dig deep, be underemployed while they strive to build a career. The people you saw may be in that phase if truly they are Nigerians.
Having said that, I know quite a few Nigerians, and the bunch I know work hard and play even harder.

Some acquaintances of mine have been in Paris in the past 2 weeks watching the Olympics, some others just returned from Japan , another with his wife is planning to tour Europe in a few weeks. My humble self is on vacation, the reason I have downtime to respond to your writeup.

I believe the premise and the conclusion of your observation is faulty. But what do I know, we are just having a conversation in a faceless forum.

Maeve7:
Did anyone ask for your advice?

Thedon12:
I don't believe you have experienced even minus 2, let alone living in those places you mentioned. Your knowledge of weather has giving you out as a liar.
