There is what is called Under employment and Job satisfaction
Then why did he not return back to Nigeria back to that satisfaction?

Reality or fiction? Life in the mirrors. Actually JAPA have turned out to be the worst nightmare for many immigrants.
This no fiction.

This sounds so fake

Come off it. Many Nigerian women expecially yoruba girls wouldn't like to send hubbies they shared kids with into prison.

Fake story. Naija men are the most family centric men in the whole universe.

Pathetic. As for leaving Nigeria, the position left in the south is quickly occupied by Islamists from the Sahel region. Buhari's RUGA fulfilling itself.
Re: I Lost My Husband The Day We Arrived In Canada by Angelfrost(m): 7:57am On Feb 28, 2025
Any man or woman who cannot swallow his or her pride should just jejely remain in Naija...!

Even if you are the son of a governor or ambassador, once you enter that abroad, you are just a regular citizen.

Proof that this is fiction amongst other clues:

"This is it, Lara! We’ve made it!" he had said, lifting me in his arms as we danced around our tiny living room in Lagos"

Kept reading though then stopped when it veered completely into lala land.
A bank manager living in a tiny living room in Nigeria but selecting jobs in Canada.

Friction.

If he was doing well in Nigeria, how come they were living in a tiny apartment?
Re: I Lost My Husband The Day We Arrived In Canada by Mcslize: 8:17am On Feb 28, 2025
When you expect too much and set bogus expectations of a country that is not yours, this is the end product.

That attitude of seniority they usually parade back home, they end up carrying it to another man's land. You don't want to start from somewhere. You want to get rich quick cuz you feel you have travelled out.

I have always said it, common sense is not common. Most people you see out there are just old for nothing adults. Children in adults bodies. No wisdom on how to prioritize expectations, set clear and achievable goals.

I repeat if you're above 37 years old and doing well in Nigeria career wise or business wise. You have no reason whatsoever to immigrate to a foreign land. If you try am you go do care work, work for factory,clean gutters tire. You have been warned!!!!
Stop this madness please. This is 2025 for crying out loud.

It's the women that push this narrative of Japa
You are right just like gvtasiwaju said. Funny thing is i’ve never seen a woman doing well in Nigeria that resigns to do care worker abroad. But whenever the husband is doing better than them in Naija, they start to guilt trip him to relocate and downgrade especially when the woman has better career prospects abroad like nurses and doctors.

Men can be foolish

The reality for a lot of immigrants is that they have to step down career wise and even retrain in a lot of situations. That is why Canada is best suited to people in their twenties at the beginning of their career.

Canada is reported to have the highest amount of people with PHD driving a taxi so often times one needs to calculate a 3 to 5 years step back before stepping forward and be ready to move initially where the job is, to have any opportunity to thrive.

Unfortunately some of our men are too proud especially when they have risen through the ranks in Nigeria imagine a consultant medical doctor coming to do a nursing assistant job. In that sense UK and US are usually better than Canada. It got a little better when a lot of Chinese went back to China.

Manage your expectations appropriately cos to me, Canada seems some invested in the application fees.


Don’t take it personal cos even their own degree holders do what people with GCSE ie administrative roles do in most countries. It is a country with too many educated people so oftentimes one has to stand out via work ethics or a masters program to get ahead.
Perfectly written. I’m taken a secret and posting this in our Canadian whatsa@pp group!

[quote author=christopher123 post=134327460][/quote]From what I read, it seems you forced him to leave his job in Naija and relocate.

Aunty carry your cross.

Offpoint1:
There was a wealthy man who only had one mansion, but many children. In this his mansion lies the secret of of his wealth.

When this man died, he left behind his mansion for his children. Everything the children needed to succeed was in the mansion, but they need to search deeper into the mansion even thought all they needed is in plain sight.

Years has passed by, the mansion has began to deteriorate, the children refused to renovate or make an attempt to fix the leaking roof or cracking walls.
The children are shortsighted, failed to see the potentials their father's mansion holds/possessed.

They needed an easy and fast way of success, which is packing out to their neighbors mansion, forgetting a visit time is limited, a neighbor house might have all the goodies, but can't never be like your home... It's just a matter of time before your eyes will open to the realization that there's no place like your father's mansion.
My brother stop this nonsense. Nigerians are fvcking hard working folks. The politicians stole everything and keep this country the way it is. My grouse is that Nigerians have refused to revolt and take back their power. Ethnicity and religion is also a big problem
