My mum will be visiting me in Canada for the first time by January and she is 69 years old. She will also be going to UK to see my younger ones.

I need advice on the basic necessities that will make her stay worthwhile. I do not want to a miss thing paticularly as regards keeping her healthy.

Any suggestions on where to get her suitable clothing in Nigeria for that age travelling to a cold region for the first time? Guys, I need your kind suggestions.
Summer would have been the best time

Good news man! You will also be rewarded for taking very good care of your Mum, Please if your dad is fortunate to be alive now, take good care of him too, both parents went through the hills and mountains to train and nurtured us to be what and who we become today, don't neglect your dad Please and things will be fine with you now and later.

You guys are getting me really scared now..
Keeping her warm is the first priority. Meet her at the airport with a good warm jacket and take it from there.

Hope u have a personal travel care or assistant service for her if she's travelling alone for the first time to Canada especially since its not a direct flight.

Before She Travels, since you're not there with her, those in Nigeria making arrangements for her travel should ensure the following...

1. Take her to the doctor for a checkup.
2. Make sure she has enough medicine for the trip.
3. Get travel insurance to help with medical bills.
4. Check her passport and visa. This is very obvious yet very important lol 😂

Clothes for the trip.
1. Get her thermal underwear to keep her warm.
2. Buy a warm, waterproof coat or jacket.
3. Get gloves, hats, and scarves to keep her head and hands warm.
4. Buy warm socks and waterproof boots.

Where to Buy Clothes in Nigeria; I can only speak for Lagos but you can get them anywhere in Nigeria. You can also order online
1. Tejuosho Market in Lagos
2. Balogun Market in Lagos
3. Online stores like Jumia or Konga
I don't know where she's travelling from so if possible, book a direct flight to reduce stress and when she arrives, cook her favourite Nigerian dishes.

Safe trip for your mum!!!

Of all the months of the year, na the worst one in winter you chose to bring her over.

She will be in a freezer, can't go out for sightseeing. Even you, if you have the chance, won't you run away until winter is over?

I hope you guys have a good reason sha. Good luck.
So that in future, they will not spend money on her once she tells them it's too cold there! grin cheesy grin grin grin. The children are wise!!! cheesy grin cheesy.

You've asked yourself a helpful question,...Travelling to an extremely cold region for the first time and at that age? Me wey never old, i no dey like visiting Canada during cold except it's extremely important. DC,NY and other east cost states incl most Canadian provinces during cold are a no go area for me.

I know you love your mum but you can show her more love and care by inviting her next summer. Her visa should be valid up to the expiry of her passport. My humble advice

Forget about the advice.

The message you wanted to pass to the world, who doesn’t give a flying F about you is that your mum would be travelling to Canada and UK.

So, at your age, you need NL members, who mostly haven't been to Canada , to suggest to you what you need to buy for your mum, in a place you claim to live?

Nigerians are simply too loud!

We have heard. Are you happy now? Next please

Remember old people are not meant to sit for too long in one place . She should stretch her legs in the plae and walk around once in a while. Buy her compression socks if you can.

Invite a 69 years old Nigerian woman who has lived all her life in Nigeria to Canada during winter. Do some of you think at all?

Do not be afraid rather be glad.

Winter is a wonderful season. Especially in Canada.

Surprise Mummy with a trip to one of the beautiful hiking trails accessible to all.

If you live in Ontario take her to Nassagaweya Trail. It is only 5 miles long and the scenery is stunning.

If your area is Montreal visit Montmorency Falls. Enjoy frozen waterfalls from high suspended bridges.

Wherever you decide to go you will have an unforgettable family bonding experience and the best introduction to the true beauty of Canada.
A 69 years old Afircan woman should do all these during the height of winter? You are not normal.
