ngBuild: Why does he want to save enough? He should come back to Nigeria and see if he'd be able to save 1/8 of it in 5 years. He's benefiting from the good economy and the functional society that makes him earn the money he's worked for unlike Nigeria and yet, he's still talking trash about same society. 7 Likes |

advanceDNA: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 4 Likes |

Yes many will tell you to come back so many are desperate to travel and some did and have regretted it. Yes I have seen people who regretted travelling to Canada. Some where doing well in Nigeria and decided to travel but this particular guy when he did after some month he realized that he had made a mistake according to him, the money he had left, he decided to travel to china to buy some goods then he came back. Today he is doing great in is electronics shop. No be everybody it favours last last. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Canada, Europe and America can be a lonely place especially in the freezing winter, hence alota people have children, work long hours, go clubing every weekend, pick up different sex partners regularly or you go on vacations to other countries . So which ever works for you to fill in your loneliness you choose, however, some of these activities cost money apart from the working long hours ![]() ![]() Also in your case you relocated to Canada to just work and make money... well..if that is what you had in mind before relocating then Canada isn't for you, it should be a relocation entirely to live in Canada and make Canada your home permanently, by that i mean intergrate into Canadian society, invite friends for dinner, drinks, or babeques, attend events regurlarly, from birthdays, social gatherings, (not church or prayer houses) going for drinks with your work colleagues, forget your Naigerian friends you left in Naigeria to relocate, make new Canadian friends, Canada is not a place to live a single man or a single woman life without families or friends, don't keep just to yourself or you may end up becoming suicidal, Don't wait till you earn $20k, go back to Naigeria as soon as possible if you feel you are not happy or fitting into Canada society, Canada or migration to Europe or America is not for every body, Europe, Canada or America can be very very very lonely.... This is why people are adviced not to come if they are not sure how they will survive physically and emotionally. Especially emotionally ![]() 12 Likes |

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. PLEASE WATCH OUT AND DONT SLIP INTO DEPRESSION. you will be fine. 18 Likes 1 Share |

A human is not fulfilled by money. If you tell a poor man he won’t understand, but ask a rich person and they will tell you the truth. Quality relationships are the key and it begins with your relationship with God. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Stop keeping useless people as friends and acquaintances and see yourself grow! You and your colleagues are the ones with slave mentality. |

Aareona: I think most Nigerians abroad are only there because Nigeria economy isn't good. In fact, most would have come back home if the country it good. The loneliness abroad isn't for the faint hearted. You've to be mentally strong to live in some places abroad especially where there are few numbers of blacks. In most cases, everyone minds their businesses including the blacks that one would think should be friends with you. Leaving friends and family behind for greener pasture is not easy. You'll be fine. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

MufasaLion: God, I hate people that the first words that come out of their mouth is "poverty mentality". They always see everything through poverty! Sickening! Like people didn't die in USA, UK, Canada during covid-19 that killed Abba Kyari. Or, you were told that there are no facilities in some hospitals in Nigeria that compare to the ones in developed nations? You're ignorant. And concerning security, people that die on daily basis through violence in USA far surpassed that of Nigeria. 2 Likes |

MufasaLion: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. |

When you step out of familiar places to go out and look for money, you are bound to feel lonely. I grew up in Lagos and Ibadan. My families have been around in those same places. Four the past four years I have had to relocate and work in Asaba and I must confess it has not been easy living far from home. So it's natural and op should just understand that the experience is part of responsibilities that come with adulthood. 5 Likes |

Only few can relate what this man is expressing. Experience they said is the best teacher. It's not always greener at the other side. Some people has never experience what it means to be lonely, depressed and unhappy with life even if you are surrounded with the so called amenities that we crave for.If you have lived abroad before, you will understand what the op is saying. I believe most people have heard about Billionaires committing suicide, has it ever occurred to you why som1 with everything that you dream of decides to take he's life. In life, you will get to a point where all that matters is your Peace of mind. Every country has its own peculiar challanges. 11 Likes 1 Share |
