Dear Op, You made a very salient point though. But I'll advise you get a gf, wife or move into a shared apartment. Or you can start blogging and vlogging just to beat the loneliness. Also try to learn to enjoy your own company — I have heard how lonely Europe can be. My friend in Finland, after awhile almost lost her mind — she was later placed on therapy. Nigeria is a really interesting place to be, as you can just meet a total stranger on the way, strike a conversation and friendship don start.... Apart from Africans, I don't think the rest of the world is as communal as we are. As regards your financials — I'm no advisor but I think there's no right time in life, every moment is right to start. If what you are currently doing isn't favourable, recaliberate your attention and focus on other profitable things. Wishing you Godspeed. 20 Likes |

I felt so frustrated this evening after joining a long queue at the filling station for more than 3 hours without still getting fuel. Nigeria is at a far worse state than it was before you left for Canada 3 years ago....The point is no system is perfect. However, I would rather opt for loneliness than the insanity that is currently prevalent in Nigeria. BTW, the loneliness will reduce when you get married. 12 Likes |

MufasaLion:..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.... 9 Likes 1 Share |

MufasaLion:This one you're saying someone will die of heart attack. Do you know they carry out kidney transplant in Nigeria? Not to now talk of common cardiac arrest. Just cause our elites have become addicted to foreign hospitals does not mean there are no good hospitals in Nigeria. This is just like claiming pizza is better than akara Wossai!! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Canada can be very lonely. Steps to avoid loneliness: 1. Come with your partner or get married after landing. Marriage must be in your plans 2. Join oyinbo church and be active there. Join the choir and stay back after church for small talks. 3. Live in Nigerian dominated areas if you like to make naija friends. You will be invited to all their owambes 4. Encourage your siblings, cousins, nephews, friends to come either by way of study or PR. I know people here who have so surrounded themselves with immediate and extended families that they conduct wedding for their children without needing to go to naija for the cérémony. I was really impressed. Colourful Aso-ebi and gele, amala-on-spot at the wedding. All within this Canada. You have to décide to make Canada your home. 26 Likes 1 Share |

maasoap: Poverty mentality. Did that money save Abba Kyari or the Ekiti Speaker that died? Ignorant folks like you think everything can be gotten with money. Can you go to Ibadan without fear during the day, not even at night. Even if you have maximum security, you will still go to your church to do vigil because of it. Apostle Suleiman the IndecentStar, was attacked even with the security in Edo! Think! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

faithfull18: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 5 Likes |
