Well, after living in Canada for some time, I can say that Nigeria’s weather is way better than Canada’s.

Nigeria has warm weather almost all year round. You wake up to sunshine, clear roads, and you can go out without wearing heavy jackets, boots, gloves, and hats. The weather makes life easier and more enjoyable. You can move around freely, attend events, and socialize without worrying about extreme cold.

Although Nigeria is usually hot, there are many days that are not extremely hot, and those days are very comfortable. A place like Jos, for example, has a mild and pleasant climate that is not harsh. If Canada had weather like Jos, more people would truly enjoy it. Especially here in Canada, we have 24-hour electricity, so running an air conditioner would not even be a problem and will be a less expensive alternative to using furnace in the winter that makes our energy bill very high. That kind of weather would be perfect.

On the other hand, snow in Canada is not as exciting as it looks in pictures. Yes, it looks beautiful at first, but realistically it brings many challenges. Roads get covered in snow and ice, which makes driving stressful and dangerous. Accident rates increase during winter because of slippery roads. You also spend more money on gas since cars use more fuel in cold weather.

Then there is the cost of changing tires twice a year. You need winter tires for the snow and then change back to regular tires. That is extra expense and stress. Frostbite is also a real risk when the temperature drops too low. The cold weather can affect people’s mental health too. Many people experience seasonal depression because they stay indoors most of the time due to the cold. Winter takes up a big part of the year, and we literally celebrate when summer finally comes.

Shoveling snow from your driveway and walkway is another task that is not enjoyable, imagine that you have to wake up and shovel for 30mins before going to work in extreme cold when it decides to snow daily, and start your car 20 to 30 mins before you leave home to make sure it is warm inside and ice on the windshield melts, sometimes your car won’t even start adding to the frustration, that’s why we plug in our cars overnight to make sure it starts the next day’ . The city clears snow from the roads, but they often push it to the sides of the streets, which covers street parking. It becomes hard to find parking when you go to work or other places. Compared to summer, where the streets are clear and driving is more straightforward weather-wise, winter here adds extra stress to daily life.

So realistically, even though Canada has its own beauty, but simmer makes daily living easier, more comfortable, and less stressful overall.

you just typed what am experiencing now 😂😂 but I love it here though I miss home sometimes I miss free ways of life in Africa since all my family members are here is cool

It’s not about driving skills my brother , The reason we change tires twice a year in Canada is because regular tires are not designed for extreme winter conditions. We keep the regular tire in the garage until it’s summer again and you are charged good money when changing it cos you have to go in for the change unlike Naija where we change tires ourselves. They do some balancing and more.

Winter tires are made with a special rubber compound that stays soft in very cold temperatures. Regular all-season tires become hard when it is very cold. When the rubber becomes hard, it cannot grip the road properly. That means less traction on snow and ice. With regular tires , it affects braking. The tires are designed with deeper treads and special patterns that bite into snow and push away slush. This helps the car stop faster and more safely. With regular tires, braking distance increases on icy roads, which can easily lead to accidents. you go match brake , car go de slide de carry you go where you no know and our traffic light sabi change quick , light wey green now now go yellow and turn red and person wey de your front go stop cos they get winter tire , you wey no get go brake too , slide go hit am, you don buy gbese,

And there is the issue of tire pressure. In cold weather, air contracts, and tire pressure drops. When pressure drops too low, it affects handling, fuel efficiency, and safety. Winter tires are built to perform better under those cold conditions, even when pressure
You also deal with black ice, packed snow, slush, and extreme temperatures. Winter tires are specifically engineered for those conditions. In summer, however, winter tires wear out quickly because the rubber is too soft for warm pavement so you have to take it offf to save your investment, na like 1300 dollars I buy all 4. That is why we switch back to regular or all-season tires when temperatures rise.

So it is not just for comfort. It is mainly for safety, proper grip, better braking, stability, and to reduce the risk of accidents

You really gave us this lecture for free?

PolyGamous:
We largely forget that people build nations, if the people are great then the politicians will automatically be great. People “capitalist” builds western world that you admire, not just their government. Policies are often made to protect capitalists, as they are believed to be the ones that will offer what the people needs..

Imagine estates in Nigeria follow the plans, contribute to build their estate roads and drainages, give construction jobs to professionals and not cheap amateurs.. Democracy comes with prices, and it is the literally the people

..but it's the foreign western government that provide a conducive environment for the capitalist to develop the western world and western countries..the foreign western government provides 24 hours constant electricity light supply daily, construct the roads and good road network, strengthen and appreciate their money/ local currency, low credit interest rates, develop the rural, villages, communities inorder to attract investors to invest in the developed rural areas, ..mechanized farming and provide a conducive environment for agriculture sector to thrive, fuel, diesel at a cheap.price , make inflation rate to be low..so the western government first lay a foundation by providing a conducive environment for the investors, capitalist to invest in their country and establish businesses, companies, industries and other things that will boost the economy and bring development and create a lot of jobs....but here in Nigeria the government does not provide a conducive environment for the private sector, investors, capitalist,entrepreneurs to thrive and does not provide a conducive environment to attract foreign investors into the country..a country like Nigeria with lack of power electricity light supply, national grid collapsing everytime, bad roads, devaluation of the naira and naira losing value against the dollars, high credit interest rates, underdevelopment in the rural areas villages communities, high costs of fuel, diesel, high inflation rate, high costs of living, insecurity, harsh economic policies. with all of this how do you expect businesses, companies industries to thrive, how to you expect investors, capitalist to work in a country where the government does not provide a conducive environment for the capitalist, entrepreneurs, investors to operate and work and boost the economy and develop the country..so this is the problem

Well, Government alone doesn’t provide electricity in the western world, and by conducive environment I wish I know what you are referring to. People over there respect policies and are educated enough to know what is right.. let the government roll out some harsh policies that will make environment great and see how people threaten of not voting or even see an opposition campaign to reverse it “an example is a government arresting people for littering places”. Most people felt bad about subsidy removal but no one raised a voice for subsidy to be redirected to productions. Only here in Africa, we want consumption to be subsidized. And for rural development, I guess you are not familiar with the so call west….

Nigeria's weather is like heaven compared to Canada and what you see in that picture. There is no amount you can pay me to go live in that amount of snow and bad weather. Aside from the pictures and for felow africans to salivate about, nothing fun is going on in that picture. It is still cold, everyone is keeping to themselves, It will get very dark at 5pm with roads deserted and everyone inside their homes, neighbors will never talk to you and most migrants will do two jobs and extra shifts to cope with bills in the cold.
Nope, nothing fun to be honest.

We all experience it brother . Na who no know de happy say snow de fall. There’s nothing good about snow . It is simply a bad weather .

Yeah I like it here too for other reasons and I am highly skilled so my life goals are met here unlike Nigeria where dreams are barely achievable or by connection .
Weather wise , Nigeria wins .

You are very correct. Ohio is crazy cold too with temperatures up to -22 and higher sometimes. Snow is only fine in pictures but in reality it presents countless hazards

Good evening everyone, my name is Freedom. I am a French language graduate. I have done my celpip and I got 8 CLB and TEF 6 CLB, I would like to relocate to canada precisely to manitoba since the give me the opportunity to know at least a friend. Unfortunately for now, I either have a family member nor a friend in manitoba that is a permanent resident which is one of the requirements to be selected in their pool. Please could someone help me out with a Whatsapp group where I can meet people or could someone please help me. Thank you in anticipation of your response and assistance.
