Man Laments Shocking Experience With His Cousin When He Moved To Canada by Highlandgee: 5:55pm On Jun 22, 2022 |
A man has taken to Twitter to narrate how the cousin he was relying on disappointed him when he moved to Canada. He said that before he moved to Canada, his cousin promised to be there for him and offer him guidance. However, when he arrived, he said his cousin put distance between them and wouldn't even answer his calls. He added that it was total strangers who ended up assisting him. "Sometimes, family is just blood. A stranger can do what a family member can never do for you," he wrote.

One of the reasons why I always advice people to hold a lot of cash when traveling abroad. It's always one man for himself. 10 Likes 1 Share |

KingOfTheDamned: Seems the word 'entitlement mentality' has a different meaning in your village dictionary. If the sly of the so-called cousin didn't feel obliged to help him because of blood link, at least he should have done so on the ground of the promise he made. Why promise someone in dire situation to be there, only to activate ghost-mode when you're needed most? Talking about irresponsibility, isn't it the same Niger Deltans whom Abokis have been flexing their oil like kings, while the sons of the soil live like ants? 18 Likes 1 Share |

Family at home ......told him he had a distant relative in Winnipeg that will take care of him .... and he followed their advice. The cousin promised to help guide him .... what does that mean? He took it to mean take care of him .... expected him to pick him up from the airport .... disappointed when he didn't... was that promised?... or anything else?... except to help guide him? When people living abroad try to tell those at home the bitter truth about how things work abroad .... they shout down the person and accuse them of discouragement. This one got smacked in the face with reality. This should be a reality check to those aspiring to being abroad with a half baked Plan A only.....believing that once they arrive .... things will somehow fall into play. 3 Likes |

imran90:The problem here is not even about cash but directions. You saw how long it took him to understand how the bus system works which led to him falling sick. |
Re: Man Laments Shocking Experience With His Cousin When He Moved To Canada by Htown64(m): 4:41pm On Jun 23, 2022 |
Originalsly:Can you listen to yourself? Did the OP mentioned that he requested for cash assistance anywhere? If the cousin knew he wasn't going to offer any form of assistance he should have made it clear to him to that he can make proper arrangements on how to get out of the airport into his accommodation. When my little brother was relocating to the states I helped him sort out most of the issues new settlers face without me being in the US. Life is not difficult as we make it look. 3 Likes |

Htown64: Can you listen to yourself?.... the OP didn't mention anything about cash assistance anywhere ..... neither did I. So who mentioned anything about cash assistance for you to make it an issue? The cousin promised to help guide him. What would that mean to you? And we wonder why many abroad do not offer to assist most back at home. |

Htown64: It simply means he didn't do his homework, expecting his "distant" cousin to do all the work for him. He isn't the first person to travel to a different country without any family to assist. I believe he is a student. Foreign schools typically send out extensive brochures, including material to help foreign students navigate housing, transportation, immigration, etc. These brochures are meant to be read, not dismissed. It would have helped this individual much more easily figure out how to use the Winnipeg transportation system. 1 Like |

It shows that you have never travelled abroad. If the cousin promised to assist him, what's the big deal, it will be a plus for him. The cousin should have just told him that he will not be able to help him then he would have had other alternatives even before he left Nigeria. Some of you will just open your mouth waa like Tinubu and be spitting purulent discharges. Getting a local person to navigate the system is easier than using the brochure. Now strangers have helped him, shey him cousin don happy now abi? TWoods: 2 Likes |

Samnigazz: no comment... Foreign countries are easy to navigate IF you do your homework first. The brochures you get spell out details like bus numbers, routes, subway systems (if that is the case), and links to affordable rentals for incoming students. Most importantly, every major college has an international student office to provide the type of guidance you are looking for. Thousands of Nigerians attend school in cities where they know no one... and they survive, without whining. |
