your situation is unfortunate but changeable.


1. I believe that you are not married. if you have a loving and understanding spouse and children, then you should not be lonely

2. about the your savings not up tp 20k for 3 years, You need to be listening to a radio program on AM 930 (CJCA the light) called the Ramsey show.
Dave Ramsey teaches about finances and investment and his show has been a blessing to me and my wife concerning our finances.

3. I don't know if you work in a specialized field or not But I would advise you to get licenses or what they call Tickets here. this would help you get better paying jobs .
Things like the PMP certificate ,P.Eng( Engineering license) , Vet license etc. requires you to write exams which cost a lot of money and requires a lot of sacrifices but the advantages are phenomenal. besides, getting occupied with these preparation will help you pass time and you wont have time to be feeling lonely.

4. Finally. Never joke with prayer. God is the doer of wonders and only he can make all your efforts
yield good result.

You know that the expectation going abroad is great that when you go and see it is not that rosy, you can't project it to your people down home

Why?

Because the expectation is high and no one will ever agree that you are having it tough. So most times what you see people enjoying and all that is them trying to project something to you down home. It's very tough in western world. You have all the basics like water,light, welfare etc and you can make some money and send home

But what many can't understand is lifestyle is totally different. I can relate to him not being able to talk to anyone. They are very independent here and lack community life. That's why they don't play with mental health. The whole system fu*ks up some individual head. Also hardship is of another form that you can't relate until you see it. The normal hardship will relate to is being not able to eat well, having no basic amenities etc. But in the western world they do have it but in another form not what you can relate to

This is in no way to discourag your pursuit of the greener pastures but sometimes it is good to have a better context of all these so that you won't come and start writing epistle like the OP or me...it is a different world out here but still pursue your dreams and know that you can never replace home

FromTopToBottom:
..no doubt their health system is better than ours...can you afford to give 25% of your monthly salary as payment for compulsory health insurance every month ? ..weda you use hospital that month or not


You think God made Canada so ? People pay through their nose to make their country work, a thing most of you Nigerians cannot sacrifice to have a working system....

I work with an international organization in Nigeria. Left Canada few years back. And I will tell you now that while healthcare isn't really strong in Nigeria, you can have access to doctors, nurses and health centre easily more than you can in Canada. It's also cheap. Some people prefer to fly home for surgery because of the expense.

I'm also currently in Canada for a conference. Need I tell you I can't even wait to leave already by next week.

MufasaLion:



They are regretting because they went without proper planning. And for you to have such irresponsible and useless friends says a lot about your personality also. Stop keeping useless people as friends and acquaintances and see yourself grow!

You and your colleagues are the ones with slave mentality.

You have time to be explaining yourself to that guy aka mr worldwide traveler

Na just understanding he needs..

Some sacrifices are not worth it, try to understand that.




BTW: stop making Fallacy: error of generalisation

ModestGal:

I really need the PMP, though I already manage projects, but mehn,its tough because I learn while working. I really need to have Agile, Scrum and PMP knowledge, those I found are just one group and my sister keeps telling me those things are easy, I should not waste money. I'm ready to spend upto $3k for courses next year, please recommend a good company for me

End of discussion.

You'd be shocked to find out the idiot is codedly asking his mates or finding a way to join the with the hopes that his case would be different which as a matter of fact is why everyone should be allowed to do their thing their way legally.

no mind am,u come to naija and use 5star private hospital on ur company expense u that's how everybody enjoy it

Earlier this year, I went back in time to few years back when I was doing so well in Nigeria. The noises from friends and all nurtured the decision to move abroad inside of me. I became so restless till I finally leave. The first day in Canada was the day I knew this place isn't where I can be forever. Most of us would have come back before the time we had in mind except for the fact that I don't still have enough. If I want to travel to naija for vacation now, I will need up to $4k. If I take that away from my savings, I don't know how I can recover.

No one tells about the downside of this place. I feel lonely, depressed and empty most times. Because no one to talk to, just everyone in my workplace goin about their business. If I make attempt to talk to them, they just waive it with a smile. It's been 3years here and the people I still talk to on video call are friends from Nigeria. It's been 3years and my savings is still Short of $20k despite how much my friends in Nigeria do tell me how easy it is for me to make money abroad but I never tell them my situation. I can't wait to make enough and leave Canada for good. I know a lot will come at me with the usuall "come back to Nigeria na", please this is not an attempt to denigrate your abroad heaven, just for me to rant out and be fine

ednut1:
Lol this guy is not in Canada. I’m cutting in Nigeria on holiday. I have not spent up to 2k dols yet. Flight was 1,400. The person opening all these thread is muna something. Can’t remember his full moniker. He is just frustrated and bitter

tunapawizzy:

Oooshey fucking sharp shooter

faithfull18:

Lol, asides the fact that people who japaed look so fresh in their pictures and have access to standard amenities and a clean environment, the strong currency etc.. I agree japaing isn't for everyone more especially for people who just jumped on the japa train because that's what everyone is doing now without considering factors like their purpose, their personality types, how diligent they are etc.

I know of people who only changed states within Nigeria, and they feel lonely, in a country like Nigeria where everyone is in your business, just imagine these types are miles away in a western country where nobody minds your business

Sorry if my point touched a sore nerve
You said Buhari will die of heart attack in Nigeria. That's what I pointed out as wrong. If you have the kind of resources of a Buhari, there's no reason you'll want to migrate to Canada or any Western nation.
That's my point. Not how many can afford good hospitals or not.

thecommunist:
you can get good courses on Udemy.
there is this course by Joseph Philip that cost 156 dollars or so, but if you can wait for black Friday sales, it can come as low as 35 dollars
