SIRTee15:


Guy rest. I live abroad and it's not boring. The problem is Nigerians want the typical Lagos social life in Canada or any other western country.
I do barbecue party almost every month during summer and invite friends...and vice versa.
Get out of your comfort zone and do new things, go on staycation for few days or even vacation abroad if U can afford it..U will be surprised how cheap the package can be if U plan ahead.
Check out tourist sites in your locality and try some- Boat trips, water parks, lots of amusement park everywhere, local shows, ventriloquist/muppets, concerts, fiesta, so many. Try new restaurants with your fiancée or family- Italian, Indian, mexican, Asian, Mediterranean, Spanish etc.
If U like clubs, enter night life. There are even afro clubs springing up everywhere.

Everything is not about going to joint and chopping isi ewu or guzzling guilder. Have an open mind, abroad is not boring, it's how U define fun.

Living in denial of the truth. The point ive made is the reason most ppl after 15 or 20 years abroad eventually all head back to Nigeria. The loneliness culture also leads to the high drug usage and mass shootings

G0odharddick:


The most important thing is securing the bag, wether lonely or not.

The op said he bought his bike 2k USD and his friend bought his for 7k USD, u know no how much be that for naija?

Dude, nobody really cares about this loneliness stuff, like do you all want Canada to be filled with population like the way Nigeria is extra populated without any development? Nawa.

Is it not better to cook, eat , sleep, go to work, make money and go to church in Canada? Which enjoyment dey Nigeria ? Y'all should stop this loneliness bullshit crap.

securing the bag might be the most important thing for you but not for everyone.


Yes, that is how much they are sold. So cycling isn't for everyone as i have said especially for Most Naigerians or africans. Why do you compare how much $7000 or $5000 is in Naigeria? Should we also travel to Naija to eat Mcdonald? Pay rent? Mortgages? Some people drive cars worth $30,000 or more in Canada, should they have sent that cash to Naigeria and not drive in Canda? Some people own houses worth $300, 000 should live in the streets in Canada and send that 300k to Naigeria. Come on! You should be more intelligent that this.

Dude, you may not care but don't say no body cares, some people do care. It is nothing to do with populations, people can still be lonely in Naigeria. You wouldn't understand so no need to keep explaining the best way to understand is to experience it.


Might be better for you or some but not for everyone, i don't go to church or pray, do i cook? Yes! Sleep? Yes! But i also cycle, i join in many other physical activities or events, some people do not want to wait till they visit Naigeria before they all do that. I see, it is all about making money for you, well... It isn't all about money for some.


I bet you $1000 this your views would change once you enter Canada and live for 3 years or more.

At the bolded is the goal dude.

Imagine staying in a place with less noise and feel people. That heavenly bro.

If you're in Canada, I'll urge you to come back to Nigeria and stay since you're very lonely in Canada

I can understand it is about money for YOU

Why do you also compare the prices of stuffs in Canada with the Naigerian currency? should Naigerians in canada not eat Mcdee because it cost $10? Or drive cars worth $30000 because it is a huge amount in Naigeria? Should they also not own houses worth $300k or pay $2000 rent because the amounts are huge in Naigeria? You have got to be more intelligent than this.


Yea! this same line everyone comes out with on here when you try to educate them yari yari yari yari come back to Naigeria.

I don't live in Canada, i visit Canada once in awhile, one of my son lives there with his mother.

I am not lonely, never have being, i was just concuring with the guy who mentioned loneliness in Canada. I was born and bred in England, I live in England. I do know people who are lonely, even white people are lonely, people are known to have died as a result of loneliness over here in England. It isn't the kinda lonliness you might think. Loneliness comes in different forms, just because there 1000s of people screaming and shouting in the streets of Lagos one can still be lonely even amongst all that chaos in Lagos.

Believe it or not.

Believe it or not.

You mistake depression for loneliness?

Since you're not lonely, why speaking for other people? Did they tell you they're lonely?

Dude, come down to Nigeria and stay. Why u dey make noise? Come over to Nigeria and stay and enjoy your life

G0odharddick:

Are you a doctor? A therapist? How did you arrive at this conclusion? There are even more depression in Naigeria than in Canada. Considering the high cost of living and hardship in Naigeria.


Why are you trying so hard to lmply that people are not lonely in Canada? Folks who live there are telling you that IT CAN be lonely and you are here arguing blindly that it isn't. perhaps when you do live there then you might be in the right position to argue that it isn't lonely in canada. Your experience living in Canada might turn out different but for until then........... Chill!


I have being to Naigeria severally, my parents moved back to Naigerian years ago, i was in Naigeria just this last May, i am going again in few weeks time for the burial of my step brother.

I know Naigeria more than you think i do. What? Enjoy how in Naigeria? All the 6 weeks i was there i was told not to leave the house incase i get kidnapped or robbed. I couldn't even cycle in Naigeria. is that the enjoyment? or is it that i was able to pick up hookup girls, take them to my house or hotel get drunk and fork them? and repeat. I can also do all that here, As i ve already told you, i am not lonely! I have never being. I go on holiday to Spain, Italy, Miami Naigeria, Thailand atleast every 3 months.

So tell me! Again what is it to enjoy in Naigeria? the roads are bad, No electricity, people are always in fear of being robbed or kidnapped is that it? Come the hell on man!


Your idea of enjoyment might be different from mine, you seem to want everyone to see things how you see it. Or want everyone to want what you want or everyone should surely want what you want. Money! Life isn't like that, different people wants different things outta life.

Nice ride.

I ride with my Domaine AL2 Trek bicycle on Saturdays and Sundays. It's made with aluminum cast frame and carbon fork.

Quick question, your bicycle is carbon right and is there a market for used bicycles there. I am looking to ship in sometimes soon cos buying a bike of this grade over here is super-expensive

Please just hush up.

Store room, harmattan or whatever, it doesn't give you an excuse not to keep the place tidy all the time.

I won't even patronize your business because mattresses are to be kept in a very tidy showrooms, if possible with air conditioning., Bbut anything goes in nigeria. Primitive people always wanting to feel among.

You are just a filthy person. Simple.

you on the other hand are tirelessly inconsequential.

😎🖕😎

Neanderthal that can't even write or punctuate correctly 🤣

I dont understand Nigerians or maybe its just cultures shock cos why would anyone want to socialise in brutal and unsafe cold when the sweet summer is there for that?

ednut1:
false . This is from last year i rode with a club through out.
https://www.nairaland.com/7819069/bicycle-ride-adventure-toronto-mississauga

I belong to 3 bike clubs and they have this same trip tomorrow. However i have other commitments so i did it alone. Its summer every one is socializing and flexing. Different hobbies dey find one to do. Shikena

I don laff tire, they keep saying cold and isolated without stepping off their front porch, going to games or getting involved in communities

Calitoscassius:
Most Blacks, Naigerians and carribean people don't like to cycle, they like to go to church, go home, seat at home cook, cook, cook, cook and cook, and eat, eat, eat i say eat, eat again and then sleep, next day up early to work and repeat.

Burna boy was in Toronto in February (winter), basketball games Toronto raptors was on through the winter, clubs, bar’s lounge were open etc. i just tire for these people lol

used carbon bike are still expensive. Mine is a budget one from China , Canadians don’t trust such brands they prefer the big name brands

how many hours was the entire trip?

miketayo:


how many hours was the entire trip?

its in the first picture. Total 5 hours riding time. Rested for combined 2 hours

Why did I continue to read Niagara as Nigeria.
Oh mine! Nigeria it's time you become greener pasture for us too nah.

Well, you are right.

ednut1:

I know right but the excuse Nigerians keep brining up is that it's crazy cold out there. Yet people keep socializing in that cold with different form of recreational activities, e.g.lake skiing.

I am starting to wonder what socialization really means, maybe it's purely based on locality as you earlier pointed out.

See a clean, clear environment. If it was Nigeria, it would be dusty, dull and uninspiring pictures.


See clean roads na, the meadow, even wild flowers. Well kept lawns with trees. See the architecture.

sense no tell u say u share boundaries with the sahel region with sand in abundance, which is peculiar to people living in the equator.💁🏽‍♂️

System that works. They don't maintain them with prayers over there.

Nonexisting1:
So you mean no bandits and kidnappers in those roads that you people are using bicycles on. Who caused us in this country? Any man and woman who will decide to fucck in the next world and bring me into this dungeon again, God will punish them.

I don die.😅😅😅

ednut1:
you train for it, build endurance and stamina with time. My friend a fellow Nigerian did 230km recently in 6 hours .

My friend drives a 7k USD bike. Mine is a budget Chinese brand of less than 2k USD import duties inclusive made of carbon fibre. Does the job. Last season i was riding a cheap bike which was heavy and slow ( made of aluminum) approximately 300 USD. The difference is clear .

Nice adventure.
I love Canada.

Meanwhile Bicycles are not allowed on the Lagos Ibadan train. Don't know what hazard it poses to them.

bikes are not allowed in all coaches . Like 30% of the train coaches allow bikes. Its a safety hazard in case of emergency

Which is logical. 0% (which obtained in my example is what I find illogical).
