Nice

I am assuming your intent isn't to make a "wash" of me.

There is no dispute in the fact that peoples circumstances would always differ and fingers will never be equal. The post was basically to encourage whoever intends to come over and also to give a clearer picture of what finances might look like.

It is common sense for a newcomer to be modest with expenses and it doesn't necessarily imply one would perpetually remain in that state. Surely, things would get better with time.

If you read between the lines, you will observe that my tenses were in the past but that was actually my reality when I just arrived and I believe it's fairly reasonable for a newcomer.

AnthonyAk:


Lol how? i have no kids but $2.5k wont cover my rent and car

AnthonyAk:


No dissing bro, just curious

AnthonyAk:


Nah so e dey always be. When I used to work downtown no black person was ever working in the offices. All we did was cleaners work , of maintenance. And I worked there for 2 years.

We don dey here for too long not enough brothers working in the offices. I don't think I've ever even been interviewed by a black person.

There are two types of Nigerians here, the one that went to school and are fresh as and the others. We don't see the latter enough

19CannyMum:


So you cleaned for 2 years and you're coming here to shalaye for somebody that arrived 3 months ago and said he's doing 'basic' work, which could be call centre etc.

Anyway when I visited Vancouver I noticed there were way less black people than in Calgary. Maybe that's why you have these views.

The first time I had a conversation in my office about Nigerians, it was with 2 people who told me that their doctors are Nigerian and they love them. My head was just bursting.

Nigerians are known to be very well educated and driven with good work ethics.

AnthonyAk:


Lol cleaned for two years? Parents didn't spend all that money for me to touch a broom for work.

I was working as a software developer , first job out of school, Right in the middle of the financial district.

I've lived in this country long enough to know what's on ground. I've met some Nigerians where I'm surprised this person was even given visa

brogxy:


You do not seem to understand that your journey is not same as others so you don't have to use the quote, "Parents didn't spend all that money for me to touch a broom for work.".
Learn to be humble as the people won't remain same place forever.

Merry Christmas!

AnthonyAk:


Totally understood,

My point is we can't come here and take it for granted. Life hits you hard and fast.

when I hear someone trying to come here and drive Uber I just laugh , that can be done in naija

ednut1:

Unlike you some of us have paid our way every step of the way. No parents to help us out, death took them early. Since you don't know everyone's story or why they're where they are, and you've had the privilege of riding on your parents' hard work and dedication, you should enjoy your privilege in humility and consideration for others who do not have it better as you have it.

Whilst no one can begrudge your privileges, it at least explains why you think you can stick your nose up and begin to dish out condescending and unsolicited advice any how. If you've had to pay your way solely, you would probably talk with more consideration and moderation, and maybe your views in life would be more measured and balanced. You need a reality check Sir, come down from this high horse you're riding, it leads thee no where.

People who work as cleaners or do menial jobs are not less human than you our supremo software developer. They have it differently for reasons which may or may not be within their control. Wishing you happy holidays. Stay safe out there.

@AnthonyAK:

I am very surprised and disturbed to read your claim that all you see black people do wherever you live in Canada are cleaner jobs and the like. While nothing wrong in doing those jobs but your view is limited to your circle. I will advise you to change your circle bro.

Majority of the Nigerians I know here is Canada (not to talk of other blacks) are professionals like Engineers, Doctors, Lawyers, Pharmacist, Accountants, Nurses, business owners etc. and working in their professions. Also, majority of us work for big companies and we hold leadership roles like manager, senior managers, directors and vice presidents in those organizations. In fact, there are a lot of such Nigerians on this Nairaland and active on this particular thread.

I do get it that some of our people (limited number of them) are currently working survival jobs but nothing wrong with that because I know it is temporary. Many of us started like that (especially those of us in regulated professions like Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy etc.) before we got to where we are today.
