Babachi: Convince her of the benefits ? Since when is Canada and Nigeria on the same level ? Certain things don't need explanation. Not emotional my friend, just rational. Again this isn't a nollywood movie. It's real life. 4 Likes |

In other news. On my way to Edmonton yesterday, I witnessed a live fast and the furious on Queen Elizabeth II highway. A mercedes passed me at full speed. The guy was doing at least 200k/hr. I later caught up with him. Some semi-drivers had carefully sandwiched and they locked him in. Those semi drivers are good. After about 20min, he luckily escaped and continued his mad race to Edmonton. The Semi on the right almost fell over while trying to keep him in check. I would have loved to forward the video clip to the police, but I might get a ticket for distracted driving. Pic 1: The semis locked him in for atleast 20min Pic 2: When he finds a little gap and makes an escape. Pic 3: Semi almost fall over while trying to avoid collision when the car squeezed itself into the tiny space. 14 Likes

Thanks. My madam already mentioned this and I think that is what we will do eventually. Leave some naira here and 'swap' it when we get the chance. The Fx transfer is also a back up option for sure. Temidewale: |

Hahahaha see bullets flying up and down. Lmao ![]() ![]() Kayla10 don't you reside in Australia? Why are you always here feeling like voltron defender of the universe? Please if you haven't read through, Honey86 has more than contributed on her knowledge of Manitoba on here. You shout people are rude, then come blazing like folks should bow down to you? No one attacked anyone's person or called anyone outside their name, till you landed. Please we don't need Aussies here with their very annoying accents ![]() In other news, Rainazoe, if your heart is resting with relocation, talk to the husband and y'all can try a soft landing. Whatever y'all decide, I hope y'all make the right decision for your family. ![]() 19 Likes 2 Shares |

in my opinion..relocating its always best to be decided by both parties...in my case ,my hubby said and quote,he will be coming visiting till later when we are more settled because he believes the zeal come from me ... when we started having kids,i wanted us to birth in US...my hubby didn dig much about it,but from persuading him and romancing him ,lol..he later bought the idea and his is thankful till date... Dear,the lord will grant you wisdom..don't push too hard..Oga ll see reasons with you thereafter,make a short landing as peeps stated above, 21 Likes 1 Share |

Canadianfly: At the bolded.. I hope you decide what's best for your family as a whole. I know someone who stayed in Canada with the kids while her hubby went back and forth very frequently after 4 years or so she came back home and put the kids in boarding house in Canada. He was able to take care of his family in Canada and maintain the home in Lagos and still does. I usually wouldn't advise this for young couples for many reasons. I gather you're the one who wants it for whatever reason and he doesn't understand or get your reasons. I didn't want to relocate too and hubby and I were on the same page but when we went to Canada we loved it and didn't mind. Once again we talked about it and agreed, I'm not separating my family too. I believe when you go he may change his mind. I wish you all the best. @rainzoe 17 Likes |

salford1: He said THE HOME not MARRIAGE ![]() on the real though, I really don't think he came out to curse her marriage or be rude to her. The guy's personality na clear-cut and folks just have issues accepting it. And that's wrong. No one dictates to anyone how to post or speak. I coulda sworn Maternal is an Engineer, coz na logical thinkers them be. Maternal and Delta007 are from the same village. No chill zones ![]() 1 Like |

Hello house, I have been a silent follower of this thread because my relocation plans are still in process. I will be coming in as a PhD student in September. I hope to come with my children leaving the Don himself behind. He plans to come visiting as often as he can. Why am I giving this unsolicited narrative, I for one currently cannot see myself leaving in Canada all my days. Nigeria has to be rebuilt, if we all permanently relocate, how do we wish to make Nigeria a better place? However there are those who their permanent relocation also contributes to making Nigeria better. How you may ask, when you help that family member start a business back home you might just be creating jobs for a few people. When you make investment back home you contribute to the economy. My husband is on his early 40s has put in so much from ground zero to build a structure for himself. Viola, things are finally shaping up, would such a person be estatic to leave his firm, investments and start from ground zero in Canada, of course not. Does it make him less of a man or family leader , no. I have chosen to respect his position, talked him into letting the children go with me and gotten him to the point he has agreed to spend at least 5months each year with us. @ maternal your points might be valid but there are many ways to say the same thing. Always consider the next person's feeling, I have learnt this over time because like you I was naturally wired to be blunt. Am I 100% there no way but I have chosen to hurt people less after all I stand to gain nothing by doing so. Back to my narrative I might disappoint some people here , I am one of those who after my sojourn (don't know how long) will eventually return to Nigeria, I see our possibilities as a nation and I want to contribute my quota to building a Nigeria we will all be proud of. On a lighter note, in future when I will run for political office all of you will be on my campaign team perhaps then I can cajole some into coming back home. Abeg try not to fight on the internet, it is really not worth it, for one the person doesn't know you, what your ideals , dreams or where you are even coming from or heading to. We are all faceless, I just be like to follow ghost dey fight. I might even be your cousin. @ madam whose husband has yet caught the vision of relocation, try to relax, no vex( this brothers can be obstinate as mules�) gather your superior argument and gently , consistently present same in a ver rational manner. Men always follow a superior reasoning even though they will pretend not to listen. Oya, I hope with this few points of mine i have managed to convince you to forget vex and move forward . Ndewo and may we all have a beautiful day. NB just in case i upset anyone pls don't insult me oh! I will not answer, i have malaria and i am here dreading how to start those awful malaria drugs.� 41 Likes 2 Shares |

@ Canadianfly, you sound just like my brother, abeg are you a man or woman. That guy can fight for Africa but has a very good heart. I love him die though we are currently quarrelling, he nearly insulted my guts off me. So I believe you are my brother or we will be very great friends from here on.

saucepan: In the spirit of fighting that we are in, I wanted to respond angrily to this until I read till the end and I saw you might want to take a political office in the future, so I decided to chill. Point one - I have come to realize that the process of relocating is gradually becoming a reflex reaction that people start without waiting for confirmation from the brain (I knew I was right when I saw 2 different ppl parking their cha cha Toyota landcruiser during the IELTS general test). Point two - The bolded above, Nigeria only needs about 20 million of you to make it work, the rest of us will go no matter what. Point three - Some people are okay staying in Nigeria BUT I see them crossing to our side very soon when that fuel price goes to #250/liter (the process has started). Point four - I am still in Nija surviving day to day and already looking forward to the day I will comeback (for few days holiday o) with my grand kids showing them how things are now better. As to my first statement I wasnt angry ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 16 Likes |
