I have been saying this for ages.
When people say if you don't like something about Canada you are free to leave, this is pure racism given that it only applies to visible minorities.
Some people expect minorities to integrate or adjust into the "Canadian culture" which to my opinion doesn't exist given that Canada is a melting pot of different cultures.
However, when it comes to white people, when they don't like something they have the right to voice their opinion and seek change so that the system can fit into their way of life.
The most tragic thing is that some minority like @Greyam are buying this microaggression suggesting Canada is for white only and any non-white is a second class citizen

@Greyman, Canada is a country that prones for equal rights. I believe telling someone to return to Nigeria for voicing is opinion is discrimination given that you will never say the same thing to a caucasian. You are the one who is not abiding by the Canadian way by discriminating against a group of people that is protected by the Canadian constitution.
Freedom of speech and opinion is a fundamental right of every Canadian and not just for white people.
If you don't like it, there's nothing you can do.

Well said! you summarised it aptly, it is racism. And it is so far reaching to the point that even some of those who seem so passionate about our culture and pass of as Afrocentric, are unknowingly guilty of it. You'd see our men stand their ground on gender roles and ready to pull the heavens down for it because according to them it is our culture, but when they date or marry a Caucasian they suddenly no longer mind who does what in the house. When it comes to african women, we have a long list of checkbox and highest standards of physical appearance they must meet but once na oyibo, the skin alone checks all the box. What is interesting is that in the same breath, we would nag about how Europe underdeveloped Africa and how slavery was an irreparable sin... See, na we be our own slave master cos e clear say by default we no dey consistent in our judgement.

Like he said, indians here are fast turning into one of the most successful immigrant group and walahi them no send that when in rome talk. Inshort in some parts of the GTA, if you no be indian to see house rent go hard you small. Even for my work, remain small make i dey learn punjabi because those guys no just send, to them na colony dem come form here not the other way round. They are quietly dominating and still keeping their culture. Heck check the federal cabinet sef, they are there, even wearing their turban despite the fact that some were born and raised in Canada!

Another very sensible Nigerian with dignity and zero inferiority complex.

Bravo sir.

TheCongo2:


Yeah there are many Nigerians with zero inferiority complex on this thread. They have just chosen to remain silent to avoid wahala here.

This thread has just recovered from a brawl not to long ago dealing with marriage issues

Guitarlife:

lol has it recovered really ? I see all this discourse are ofshoots of that very discourse I cant believe we dragged an issue for more than a week.

Its never happened before lol.

Jasmine17:


Thats the problem. We all want that utopia but nobody is willing to bell the cat. I'm also guilty of the same crime.

But if we dont speak out, how will most people ignorantly wallowing in the cesspool of inferiority complex ever know that they deserve better?

There are times i read comments and choose not to say anything or give my opinion just because i dont want one fellow picking on me. But if we all keep quiet to keep peace, is that not hypocrisy?

That said, I think people should think through this Canadian journey well. Most married people are in it for selfish reasons and its just a matter of time before the cookie crumbles.

Well said you have spoken my mind. That is the trend now, some are migrating not because they want a "better life", but some "freedom". look at the case of the woman i said left her husband whether the guy was right or wrong i can not say until i hear his said. but she wanted to sleep with me, once i sensed it, i just stop talking to her, before she frame me up for rape and sexual molestation later on to use that to extort money from me. My advise to couples check yourself well and sit down and carefully analyze if "love exist" before you immigrate else..............

Some of the men are only using their spouse to get acceptable CRS points, ITA, and in some cases, funding for the journey. While some of the ladies in addition to using the men for the same purposes, are in it to escape their marriages or relationships.

Nigeria has good culture and morals. If only we had same quality of leadership, nobody will apply for this PR.

It is well

Always the double standard...
The judgement is always applied according to the race of a person.
If you are white you shall live else ...

White people never integrate anywhere in the world. They would go different places to make changes. Whereas minorities are even forced to accept and view things like homosexuality, same-sex marriage or transgender as common way of life. Those are things our ancestors knew nothing about.

By the way, as a Canadian citizen I respect gays people even though I dont agree with homosexuality. The Canadian culture is all about dealing with mutual respect even when we don't agree on something.

It's not in my place to dictate what culture to retain or adopt; who to associate with, and I am not even saying if its right or wrong to... But one thing I have come to notice and I am very certain of is that Nigerians generally have an inferiority complex, one that is unrivaled by other nationalities. To most of us, anything white is right and everything african is dumb... We dont even bother to evaluate it based on its merits and demerits. Its much like how in Nigeria once you are white skinned, you are automatically an expatriate and an authority in whatever field you fancy, even if you are the dumbest being that ever walked the earth.

Canada is a developed country, true but it has a plethora of issues too, every country does... And I have met Caucasians here that even the teenage me had more sense than. But y'all fancy arguments based on authority rather than merits.

Its a personal choice what culture to uphold, heck one can choose to even renounce their nigerian citizenship too... but do not make it seem like one can not retain his culture(at least the good part or what seems more reasonable than the canadian and isnt in conflict with the law) and at the same time enjoy the best Canada has to offer, and still go on to offer your best to Canada too. It is not wise to argue or suggest that. Waves of immigration has occurred in different parts of the world in past centuries and there are an abundance of examples were the immigrants didnt "do like the romans" or had to return home as a result. when the immigrants were Caucasians the reverse was often the case. Heck till date white south africans have done almost nothing to integrate!

greyham:


I separated a portion of your text. That is their way of life (and they have laws guiding such) So when in Rome do like the Romans.

Stop being pained Sir, you can always move back to Nigeria PERMANENTLY if you want.

My Good people of Nairaland, I greet everyone specially. For those that need clerification on anything in Manitoba specifically Winnipeg I will do my best to answer just in case I don't respond on time no vex ooo.
My piece of advice no matter what please don't give up on the pursuit.

TheCongo2:


Thank you so much joo2018.
This question is beyond the scope of this thread.


It is all about mutual respect in Canada. So long as I don't harrass homosexual or discriminate against them, no one should ask me why I don't agree with homosexuality.

To agree or not to agree with homosexuality is a personal choice. What matters is mutual respect and acceptance.

Jumdah20:
Isn't that a personal choice, why would you want to know?
