Re: Anxiety As Images Of Depressed Nigerians In Canada Flood Internet by Bankowner:
They want to use either the student route or the temporary work visa route to japa.
It's not even a big deal to want to japaa using either of the two routes, what is important is counting the cost and making adequate provision for it.

An international student pays over 3 times the fees of a domestic student, which work will you do 24hrs/week that would fetch you enough money to pay school fees? I came here on study route, I made sure I had money to cover two terms before I left Nigeria. Getting here, I started working (20 hrs @ $16/hr). I saved and borrowed to pay the fees for the last two terms, I was lucky to have people to borrow from. Not many are so lucky.

It's even worse with the exchange rate now. Moving money from Nigeria to pay fees abroad is crazy.

Oh really? Let’s start with actual references.

How many people are living in poverty in your family, in your compound, in your street, in your church or mosque or in your workplace?

Let’s start with that.
go ask your useless corrupt leaders that has stolen your future and that of your unborn generation.

naija is a known shit hole country, poverty capital and rules by criminal
Real! That’s why I’ll advise you to just kpai yourself if you don’t have any means of leaving that shithole country. See ehn it’s more honorable to die as homeless due to extreme cold in Canada than to live and enjoy life like dangote in Nigeria.

Better to be depressed in Canada than living large in this shiithole
Real! It’s far better to be poor, depressed, sad and be hopeless and eventually die in Canada than to be a billionaire in Nigeria. At least your people back home go dey respect your name say u dey abroad..

agree! Couple with the fact that over 640 million Nigerians have died in the last two months due to insecurity and poverty. A whooping 780 million Nigerians can’t afford to feed and cloth themselves and are suffering on the street of Lagos. Nigeria is hell! Better to become homeless and die of cold and depression in Canada than to be a dangote billionaire in Nigeria. At least your people in Naija will know you’re abroad and that’s enough respect as it is

Very shameless people in power undecided

They have activated their media crew to try and make japa look less tasteful to Nigerians but their plan can never work.

We will rather go to Canada and look depressed than to remain in Nigeria and be borderline suicidal because of the uselessness of their APC cronies
Baba, I have never experienced depression the way I did when I left Nigeria, and I came with my family o. But the truth is, some weathered the storm better than others. Nigeria just needs to be better.

Now I appreciate Nigeria more than before.

No it’s not. You’d rather be depressed and poor and even die in Canada than be rich in Nigeria. Nigeria is finished bro.

It’s not true. Don’t mind that guy @bankowner. Education is free in Canada..it’s even more so for international students. They also pay international students $1million dollars per week for upkeep

What are you still doing in Nigeria?

The government of Canada has parked a private jet to bring you to Canada, a school has organized a party stationed at YYZ to welcome and bring you to your accommodation on campus.

A CIBC account has also been opened in your name with your first week deposit of $1million.

Enjoy!!

Yeah. But they can’t do it all these for you if you re still in Nigeria. You need to get their visa first and travel to the airport. So at the airport when u land, they open account f for u right there and deposit ur $1M there for u. Also, if you want to go to school it’s basically free. That’s how a working country works unlike Nigeria where nothing works and u have to pay for everything. I even heard there are food banks in Canada meant for Nigerian immigrant that give them free groceries every month so they don’t have to spend anything at all

Didn't you hear they've started giving visa to Nigerians? And for free too?
You don't even need to apply. Just take your passport to the embassy and your visa will be stamped immediately.

That’s a lie. Don’t let anyone scam you o. Visa isn’t free..you have to pay for it. But that’s the only thing u have to pay with ur money as the Canadian government pay for ur flight ticket and all that

a lot of people came with student visa falsify their bank statements hoping they would work and pay the bills. But there are no jobs like in the past hence many are struggling and depressed.

Sebi you're confident about free plane ticket, free school, and free $1m?

Be confident about the free visa too, otherwise get off the fantasy island you're on right now.

The entitlement and gall is just astonishingly shocking. Developed nations just exist to be a brochure for opportunists right?! It's never about what you can contribute to the country that provides you with what yours never could, no gratitude whatsoever but just snide remarks about which one offers the most benefits for you to suck up smh.
