You see why I called you a liar, you picked fallacy from a random liar and posted as the February 16 in Edmonton. You lie again. I pray let us remain in the country two of us are at the moment, Amen. If it my village, amen, if you are still in naija, spreading lie online, remain there, Amen. AirBay: 1 Like

So much hate on this thread just because of someone's observation...which is nothing new anyway... Some are feeling like what he said will deny them visa---that's the vibe I am getting...or when they get 'there', they too don't want to be 'judged' so they can comfortably snap in snow and pepper people back home through WhatsApp status without their conscience biting them. 1 Like |

That was revealing.This could explain why nigerians abroad look generally unhealthy with a vast majority being overweight and over stressed. But, working three jobs..damn.How is that possible?How many hours does one sleep? |

Artscollection: In Europe you don't necessarily need a car. In N/A you need one. The OP was not hammering on "impressing" He's saying people should stop hustling with new cars during winters and sit in a bar or restaurant instead..lol 1 Like |

This exactly. Penny pinching and scraping for decades with nothing real to show for it. And for what? The people living above their so called means enjoyed life while at it, traveled the world , enjoyed luxury cars, lived in great neighborhoods and their kids enjoyed fine things of life from childhood. No be suffer head. In the end both of them will most likely die at approximately the same age. One would have got out of life what God created the earth for. For human Enjoyment. And the other would have started trying to live fully when his bones are weak and joints are stiff. That is if neither of them died in their youth. Like someone said up there, money is a tool. Use it to improve your life. First acquire an important skill or the necessary education that ensures that money will always come then go out there and live life. For goodness’ sake!

AirBay:There was never a time Edmonton hit (-50) last year. Some places in Alberta, possibly the oil fields but not Edmonton. At -50 the roads are even not motorable as the snow has built up significantly in breadth & width. It's only Saskatchewan I know that hits that -42 in their cities and everyone basically stays at home. It's a made up story. -10/-20 maybe but dinning in -50? 2 Likes

Maeve7:lol the guy went to Alaska…. I don’t understand how people cannot mind their Business. If someone decides to use their spare time to do deliveries, How does it concern this idiot? How is someone utilizing their spare time equate to showing off? I am sure the idiot looks down on people doing deliveries because in his head a delivery man is a poor man that is supposed to drive 1995 car…lol. 2 Likes |

AirBay: Don't they have public buses or trains in North America? Or they are not functioning well ? And why the need for the SUV's even for an individual household?Generally, l observe America as a place where people like to show off and blow their trumpet. From the big house,huge cars etc all to impress .This is typical the Nigerian way |

Sapasenator: Fallacy of hasty generalization. Stereotyping and discrimination on the basis of skin color. You never interviewed them but assumed they were Nigerians, vehicles purchased on credit, living above their means, and trying to impress nobody but you. People don't care what you drive or wear here, and what job you do. There is dignity in labour, and sometimes people do odd jobs not primarily because of money. There's more to that. Keep on observing without integrating and you will have more surprises along the way even after 15 years. 4 Likes |
