Peter the rock.
I respect this man everyday.
This is the kind of man that has the capacity to move Nigeria but will Nigerians agree?

I pray that their population which use to be a political blessing to them dont become a curse to them in this covid19 pendamic

Sincerely, I dont know why southerners keep fighting them selves when the main problem is the northerners. It is a shame southerners are very fo olish. I don even tire to talk about this. At least, thank u for this. I dont know how someone dragged igbos into this. I strongly feel some people lie with their identity just to drag igbos into stu-pid things.

I wonder when Igbos became the problem of Edo people

Some group of people are busy bombing southern Nigeria, killing and raping women in our villages and all some people think here is to fight and insult igbos. Wow!

Thank u at least for saying the obvious.

you should no that the guy who started the whole tribal fight is not from Edo and is not a southerner.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that ones life can be altered by altering the attitude of the mind.

Nigeria problems originates from the thinking of the populace. We need a leader who will preach peace,prosperity and love to us and then follow it up with action.

i have even tweeted efcc severally before now that they should look into the activities of MBA fx but they did not respond to my tweeets so leave the jobless kid to be ranting

I think you are not doing the right thing. Do you know the so called efcc you are tweeting have their personnel all benefitting from the MBA Forex? Why don't you allow the natural forces of life to take care of the thing you called scam? I'm sure no scam can last forever but while it pays allow the risk takers to make money.
For your information, I did not invest in MBA Forex but I feel we should let something's be.

What is wrong with nairalanders for eves sake. Every now and then masturbation topic hits front page.

For your information, over 90 percent of men at some point in their life have engaged in this act. Infact most beautiful ladies that you see and admire are all chronic masturbators.

For fuc.ks sake just live your life and try to make something out of it. Dont let mastrubation control you and if by any case you fell into it,wash your hands with soup and apply hand sanitizers to avoid smearing your sperm in someone's beautiful hands.I heard covid19 do live in the sperm too.

Last question I want to ask,what is the solution to the sex needs of those ladies who were not able to attract a man to marry them?

Now Ameri is the hotspot.
I know all death is death and where you are buried does not matter in the grand scheme of things, but getting lumped up together with a bunch of strangers in a mass grave feels like a disrespect, an ostracism. Being buried in your own spot is worth it. Having your own grave stone is always better.

I pity the older people. I imagine myself in their spot. Alone and isolated. Waiting for death.

Senior citizens are especially hard hit, particularly the widows and widowers. For many, it’s the painful sense of missing their grandkids, the precarity of living with a disease that could kill them at any time. For others, it’s the wrenching loneliness.

A time might come when even the simplest of human expressions like kissing would be done via a mask. This is apocalyptic. I cant believe my generation will experience a pandemic. All my Canada plans shelved and scattered. Mtchew

my brother forget Canada. Marry,have sex,born kids built house and continue with your life till the trumpet sound.

My friend sent me this thread last night but I had too much to say so here we go.

I (A Nigerian girl living in Canada) will be responding to the OP's points and some other comments I found on the thread.


Are Nigerian Ladies in Canada lonely? Ofcourse we are! Are Nigerian girls in NIGERIA lonely? Hell yeah!!! Are Nigerian girls in other countries lonely? Absolutely!!!!! Being lonely is not a factor of location or person. It's about not finding the right friends/partner you vibe with.


Why did we immigrate? Bros are you kidding me? Canadian govt is paying me $2000 monthly and other benefits for losing income due to covid-19 Is that happening in Naija right now? All the money donated by philanthropist in Nigeria would soon disappear into the thin air without our govt giving explanation of any sort. Ofcourse, it's not bed of roses abroad neither were we expecting a man wrapped in a gift bag but please don't let your sentiments cloud your reasoning as to why people make immigration decisions abeg.


I personally feel attacked I recently posted a video on my YouTube Channel about finding love & online dating in Canada. It's asif this hope saw my video and wanted to attack me


What makes you think we would be interested in you to begin with? Don't pride yourself too much plis dear


If you like let the OP influence your decision and stop you from chasing your immigration dreams, last last it's up to you to decide what you want for your future.


Whilst I would agree with growing together with your partner and building with them. I think it's just shallow minded of anyone in this age and time to ask for women to chase marriage first before career. Marriage is not the ultimate not everyone sees marriage as an achievement. These days, if you crave for sex so much, you can pay someone to do it or get yourself a Love Machine, if you want a child, you can literally just buy a sperm and save yourself lots of stress. Most of us are yet to keep an open mind to these things, however if you want something badly there;s always a way to get it.


Most Nigerian men hate to see it happen, there are laws that protect women here and they would prefer dying single than to see women as their equals. A good number of them are control freaks and would rather their woman be at their beck and call for everything as opposed to having their marriage work as a partnership. Nigerian married man knowing the laws of the land will still go ahead and cheat on his wife with a girl living in the same condo with his wife. Una no even dey fear or respect una madam. If atall you really want to cheat, you cannot travel to Nigeria and secretly mess with girls that fancy IJGB crew or allen avenue. As expected, some women do exploit the situation but if you find yourself a god-fearing person and you do the right thing, no divorce laws or child custody issue would stop y'all from flourishing.


White men dont find us attractive? Laughs is Swahili
On the contrary most men of other races have FETISH for Nigerian girls and Black girls in general. Maybe not long term in all cases tho but they reaaaaaaally fancy us and admire our enthusiasm towards life. Whilst most Nigerian girls would likely not wanna go for the likes of 'Ryan', 'Billy' and co it's not cos we don't find them attractive. Firstly, Naija guys are smart, intelligent and goal oriented. You see the average ones already have plans for their future and working towards it unlike the counterparts who are comfortable with just a high school degree. If a Naija guy is even into technical jobs he would try to be the best at it and work towards starting his own company in the near future. Secondly, coping with someone with a different culture, lifestyle, food, etc is honestly stressful. I was talking with one Persian guy and he said before we can kiss or hold hands, we have to be temporarily married. The other chinese guy is only about 5ft tall, I'm just wondering what he would look like in that department

In Nigeria, when you visit a guy at home, some would expect you to know that's express ticket to get laid with them. But here if you visit a guy at home, you can be almost certain that if you guys have sex it's cos you wanted it, no guy will try to lure or manipulate you to straff them or tell you when you came to my house what were you thinking. They know it's important to ask for your opinion or even avoid the whole situation altogether.

Something the OP failed to address is that the Loneliness spans across both men and women living in Diaspora. Even the white people find it hard getting a partner for themselves much less an immigrant that would probably take some time to fully settle in. The system is built to have everyone mind their business, that togetherness or family-spirit is missing.

All the naija guys and ladies in Toronto have finish dating themselves. It's such a small city, everyone knows eachother thru another person only a matter of time before you find out that; the guy toasting you is ex with your colleagues' friend. Or the guy you matched with on the dating app went on a date with your housemate the day before. Some would be married and they would be on the dating apps lying to other women.

Some of us don't even mind going back home to bring men here, but 'em guys just they find paper. Only few genuinely love and care for you. I kuku know people here already do that as business tho, some ladies/guys now charge up to $30,000 to marry people from home to help them get residency here.

There are tons of Nigerians in Canada groups on WhatsApp and Telegram some are just for singles and you find people of age 35, 40, etc filled with both women and MEN. Some guys eventually resort to going back home to marry the less exposed girls, but guess what happens once they reach YYZ airport? Oh well your guess is as good as mine. Their eyes go open finish.

A good number of Naija guys are single and desperately finding love as well as ladies. Truth is, we all crave for love. And that's not a bad thing to want. Finding a good match or significant other is a honestly a game of chance. Home and Abroad, White or Black race finding a partner is truly difficult and if you got lucky finding that one special person, you better love and cherish them truly.

I rest my case; I am in the comment section waiting for someone to jump on my mention and before you do so just remember: Opinions are like as5holes and everyone is entitled to one. So this is my opinion, I have free time today

Link to Original thread https://www.nairaland.com/5782313/chai-nigerian-girls-canada-lonely

op dont mind that yam leg man trying to say shit about you lovely ladies abroad. Even me wey dey naija lonely pass una. Common gf I no get. To get money chop na wahala. In fact my name na Mr lonely.

In this generation of free sex,my girl will never have a bestie

Odkosh:
You are right. That why your naira billionaires can compete with the Yoruba dollar billionaires and you keep dying in Yoruba land. Yeah, I know you are ahead of America and Europe.

take my words to the bank. In the next 50years, a large percentage of your lands will be bought over by Igbo people and your children will not even have were to sit down without asking for a permission from an Igbo landlord.
Igbo's are 10times ahead of you all anytime and anyday.

Odkosh:
E pain this one to bone marrow. Ndo

Igbo people is 10 times ahead all of you. Quote me anywhere

LordReed:
They tried at least they are better than those who gave nothing.

leave them.na to make noise for internet them sabi

For a thread without a verifiable source,they are already calling my beloved tribe.

For your information, we would always be ten times ahead all of you in this country. So quit the hate and concentrate on your damn self.

Now what kind of country makes a foreigner their army chief? The country must be a useless country to do that. The highest countries do is to go for private military contractors.

Anyway I leave you low level beasts with your igbophobia.

Wake me up when it's 1000 cases.

StephenSammie001:
You think so, no problem sir. Do you know what a martial court is sir

you have no single excuse to give for those illiterate people on uniform. Go check how other military personal in other climes behave and you will hide yourself in mud.
Nigeria have a long way to go. These guys are paid to protect people and not kill them.

Confirmedzombie:
Who cares, you will die one day too. Only the foolish IPOBS will rejoice over ones death.

Madam you are very stupid, useless frustrated like the ipobs pigs and idiots.

Useless shameless dirty broke frustrated ipob olosho
Idiot

yes ipob will be very happy because those fools sent the military to kill them.

Lockdown and mass testing and treatment of infected individuals is the only way to contain this virus.
Lock down without mass testing is simply a futile effort
Nigeria are we ready ?

Lifeless and slow

I thought they said Maurice iwu has the cure for corona virus.

There is a big problem. How did this virus get to borno? I pray this news is fake.

Reference:
Can you not see that states are handling this crises a lot better than the Federal Goverment though they are resource disadvantaged in comparison.

Can you not see that state goverments are in competition for positive reactions towards this pandemic.

This pandemic has lifted the curtain a bit on what Nigeria can be if society is organised around the point of the needs of the people concerned rather than around the points of conquest, control and domination by a set of feudal overlords.

This pandemic has laid plain the weakness of the Nigeria state as it is presently structured and this pandemic has warned us to get our acts together fast and reatucture this country in civility while we can in order to survive.

Nigeria just cannot continue to exist like this. It is just unsustainable.

just imagine that's states are allowed to do what they have to do in order to wipe out killer herdsmen? The killer herdsmen would have been a thing of the past but no someone wants to use federal power to keep everyone under the control of some few cabal. Nigeria must be restructured

igwefivestar:
is like u hve tested positive to this covid 19

no am on self quarantine

GidiWoodsMan:
Nigeria is simply falling apart because there's no president to provide direction at this period and also continue enforcement of the unitary system of government

sure its more like everyone is after the preservation of his life first. Even the unitary enforcers do not want to die. Should I pray the pendamic overruns the country so that the country will naturally restructure? I dont even know what to do anymore. I leave the fate of this country to the spirits who take orders from the creator of the universe.

Is this not the restructuring that we are talking about. States are flouting the federal laws and no one is raising an eyebrow. It will take a natural disaster like this for Nigeria to be truely repositioned for restructuring.

MT:
You cannot just repatriate cash from an economy. MTN tried it with Nigeria and they faced a serious backslash from Nigeria. There are laws and policies that need to be followed. You cannot tell me the US will just repatriate cash from a US-owned company based in China without following standard procedures and policies in China.

There is a procedure for cash reparation. Why go to another mans land to make wealth when you cannot take some of it back to your home ?

MT:
You are the expert, I am not. I dont want to accept your argument at face value. Break it down in such a way that anyone can digest the bolded. And regarding the dependency, what you explained still points to the fact that the US depends on China cos when those US companies manufacture in China, they still need to export it to the US which the US will have to pay for!!.

have you heard of cash repatriation? Apply manufactures and assembles its phone in china,sell to the rest of the world including US and repatriate the cash to the united states.

MT:
But the US depend heavily on China which was what led to the trade war. There was clearly trade imbalance which ran into billion of dollars with the US clearly disadvantaged. I don't think no nation can be self sufficient. My question is has the whole world accepted US to print more currencies to settle their international trade simply because they own the dollars?. If you can point me to a resource to read on this, I will not mind. Thanks

in what does us depend on us depend on China? The answer is simple, its easier and cheaper to manufacture goods in china than to manufacture them in the united states. That is why many companies owned by the united States carry out their manufacturing in China eg apple phone.

My arguement is still the fact that the united states are at the fore front of technology and innovation and can therefore afford to print money without much effect on their economy.

If we print more naira notes,what will it buy ? The 500 naira yam automatically becomes 1000 naira

MT:
I really need to know as this is not my turf. Why does the the US get away with printing more dollars to save her economy?. Do the laws of micro economic not applicable to US in this case? . Please I will need to be genuinely educated in this area.

it's called productivity. Money is a reward for being productive. The world leading companies are owned by us citizens eg google, Facebook,Tesla, general motors,ford etc. This is why they can print money and get away with it. They are not dependent on other countries to buy the things they need to run their country.

But for Nigeria, what do you have ? Crude export and crude export and few manufacturing hub still dependent on foreign technology to keep running. You cannot print currency unless you want to end up like Zimbabwe.

The smoking gun is that money is a just a way to measure the value you have created. If you create zero value and you print plenty it's becomes useless.

kikero:
Yes, but when they ask you Nigerians to pay the amount of money in taxes needed to pay to clean the city, you people will complain that they want to chop your money.

British cities are very clean. The average Brit pays council taxes of at least 120 pounds...54,900 naira monthly...which pays for cleaning facilities.

Edo state has a budget of 470million dollars for this year. Pennsylvania, USA is spending 78 billion dollars this year. And you expect Pennsylvania and Canada level cleanliness from 470million dollars.??

MODIFIED

I am not excusing bad governance, or defending APC or PDP. Nor have i said looting does not happen. The point is, Nigeria does not have the cash. The looting makes it worse.

To use an unrelated example. Nigeria spent 900bn naira for the Nigeria Police last year. The New York Police Department had a budget five times that.

If we want the kind of money that would enable us develop...we have to transit from a national cake economy to an capitalist , industrial economy. But because people don't want to give up 'perks'..

this is why we must gradually restructure the economic dynamics of this country. States must look inwards and encourage their citizens to produce. We must encourage tech companies to grow.we must encourage science and technology. We must do away with quota system and allow the best brains to take us to our destination.

ILLICITblood:
CORONAVIRUS IS OVERRATED


24,000 people died and more will
It's a pandemic that have affected nearly half a million people
It spreads fast like wildfire
We should be scared
Yeah we should be

But hold up
I know this is unpopular
But Coronavirus is too respected
Let's crunch the numbers
Over 100,000 people have died of suicide in this year alone
Over a million people have died of Malaria
Over 2 million people have died of Hunger

The number of people to have been killed by terrorists attacks since the turn of the decade should be more than 24,000

But why the attention on Coronavirus??
Everywhere on the media
On your TV
In the radio
On Social Media
No where is safe

Why the attention??
Because It affects everyone
The rich and the poor
Politicians and citizens
Bourgeoisie and the man on the street
No one is safe

So they invest their attention on it...
But what about the boy struggling with mental Health?
The kid who is starving?
What about the victims of terrorist attacks?

Why don't we get this much uproar??
Don't come at me with the billgate foundation and ilks, it's nothing compared to what governments are spending on this

So i repeat
CoronaVirus is overrated
But it's a necessary evil
To open our eyes to the rot in our system

Imagine asking a poor man to stay at home for weeks
A man struggling to survive
Struggling to feed himself and his family

Las las na hunger go kee people no be Covid19

But this too shall pass

the corona virus has simply revealed the selfishness of human beings. See how state are closing borders and banning vehicle movement but in this same country someone banned the movement of cows to save poor people and incurred the wrath of the federal government. Too bad too bad. Humans are selfish.
