A great concern.
Naso the videos full Instagram.
I hope they get help irrespective of mistakes they might have made. And they don't get ashamed for being out out in public.

Thank you. They are only seeing the humilating angle of it just to implicitly score cheap political goals that "Nigeria isnt that bad afterall".
Travel and see….

It’s not that bad over there!

You see, if you see the life most Nigerians live abroad, some of you will never believe you doing better until you get to a point of no return.

Especially that UK where most stay inside a kennel. People who have duplexes back home. Working like a clock to just makes ends meet.

Canada is even overrated. I wonder how people abandon the UK and Australia and opt for Canada. That place is a dead end. Yes, it was a good destination years ago, but as at now, it’s cooked.

And with that ladies and gentlemen, the japa frenzy has finally been thrown into the gutters. Anyone who tries to leave Nigeria unprepared is in for a longggggggggggg thing!

Some have wacky skills and just empty bookworms. Anyone going over there should be eqipled with minimum of three sellable skills.
They are illegal residents. That's why they're stranded.

Canada is good place, even better than U.K. But if you don't have legal papers, it can be frustrating

Simply reporting to canadians authorities will earn them that. They havent because they fear ending up at their starting point.
The shame of returning empty after all the money spent and loud noise is a factor.

Forget that childish comparison.


If you find yourself in any of these countries without legal papers, you will hate yourself.

The fact that they are not contemplating coming back to be under your paymasters is damning evidence of failure. Keep shut.

Or didnt you read where they said some underestimated cost of living? Thats partially because to currency back home is useless.
Do Nigerians spend Naira in Canada or what's your point exactly. How do cost of living in Canada affects Nigeria currency?

Men! Ipobidients and delirium, very disturbing

You mean government should send them money to assist them?

Mind you, these are young lads that still have an energy to work even in a factory or a farm, they can relocate to remote area to work.
Even those jobs aren't available for people in the system, I m sure they are out of the system.

Na lie. They can still come back home, enter school and finish their degree which can give them leverage to start a career.

Which career are you talking about in Nigeria? Are you in Nigeria at all? Or are you one of those living off our common patrimony?

Truth is, Canada has nothing much to offer again. But until their eyes see, they won't accept.

House rent alone is becoming crazy, not to mention utility bills and added taxes.

If you have #40 million and above, and you decide to trade it for a relocation to Canada or UK, and you are in your late thirties and above, then that's a vet very tricky decision.

This is hogwash.

The first young lady stated that she stopped focusing on school and focused on fashion business which failed. She was not prepared. One needs to be laser focused here. Also, she doesn't seem quite right.

The second boy I feel for. He had no mentor - if he had someone to advise him they would have told him that while your dad paid he first years school fees it is important to work and save whatever you can when things are good. My younger brother almost did the same thing, the family was paying for his schooling. he was working but lavishing his money because he felt the people at home had his back. Luckily God preserved everyone and he graduated.

Sometimes I look at him and I can only pray because he has graduated, still on PWGP and lavishes money.

SMH... This is nothing but drug use.

If you can't get minimum wage jobs (which is not true), you can at least apply for voluntary repatriation.


In all you do, avoid the trap of Student Route to certain nations like Australia and Canada.

Take your time to get in via Express Entry through vocational skills, get your permanent residence and save yourself plenty headaches.


Some PR immigrants even spend less than the desperate Student Routers.
Golden nuggets!

Except you are on a substance or undocumented, you should not be homeless in Canada. These people are the cause of their own problems. Go back home.

amongst these categories few are justified and earn the sympathy and kindness of goodwill individuals but the rest of them are wicked, selfish, and self-centered never meant well individuals.
How do I mean? You worked or have access to fund that can transform lives but since your DNA is consumption you do not want to build wealth through building others you carry 10M, 20M, 40M etc to Japa when you could have invested in that your friend, brother, neighbor acquaintance etc, even in yourself but no na to Japa.

In a heartbreaking tale of shattered dreams, several young Nigerians who sold everything they owned to relocate to Canada are now left destitute, struggling to survive on the streets. With no money, no food, no shelter, and no family to turn to, these individuals face harsh realities far removed from the bright future they envisioned. cry

Many of them had high hopes of pursuing education and better opportunities in Canada. However, the financial pressures of living abroad, coupled with unforeseen circumstances, have left them stranded. Some claim their sponsors back home died, cutting off the funds needed to continue their education, forcing them to drop out of school. Others admit they underestimated the cost of living and the difficulty of securing stable jobs.

The streets of Canada have now become a grim reality for these Nigerians, who are wasting away their time and potential.

Where do you see food chop for dream? Spirit that offers food in the dream are hungry themselves since the reach that offer sascrifice to them can't afford it again and even when sacrifice is offered by a few, hunger-ridden folks will eat them up before the gods. gods are angry!
