Why is it that Nigerians abroad discourage we home, never to come find greener pastures in western countries cos there is none？ This morning i called one of my uncles in UK, i told him am trying to find a job in any western english speaking countries, i am tired of staying in Nigeria, there is no electricity,no job, no social amenities for the citizens. He laugh scorned me and said i should stay back home and keep hoping for a job soon i will get one. Am a graduate of banking and finance from Ekiti state university. A class of 2016, been trying to seek a job all to no avail, no one wants to leave his job positions for fresh heads. This morning i saw my school file all the school fees e tranzact i paid and it all calculated to 690k as i was a part time student from 2009-2016 （strike inclusive）, i felt i should have,started a business of my own with this cash by now i would have,gone far in my financial responsibilities，been a graduate is a good achievement but what do you stand to gain when you got no job at hand. I am married presently with a son but have always craved to have a western education and enjoy good social amenities of life even if i have to pay for it through my tax. I want to live and work in canada under a budget my husband and i have designed. Am no more interested to owning a business where you tend to sell debts to people, wake up one morning only to see your shop has been buggled by unknown bandits. I WANT A JOB IN CANADA BE IT MENNIAL OR PROFESSIONAL 3 Likes |

Lmao!!! You be undercover agent oooo!! See as you exposed the person. Well I suspect that the person is just fed up and desperately want to leave... but tryna explore all available options. Let desperation not be your driver to leave Naija... otherwise na same thing you go face for there. U gats plan... and understand that you may be confined to the average life for quite sometime. Some people go with the mindset that once you land there, its all bliss.... that's why you would see Nigerians flexing big time with credit cards... and at the end of the day, they find themselves in a fix. There is no free lunch in life anywhere. You work for all you enjoy. I wish the poster good luck in her/his pursuit. TheCongo2: 9 Likes |

Hello Everyone. So I'm awaiting PPR and considering where to settle. From my research here and via google I picked interest in London Ontario. It appears that the city has affordable housing, friendly weather. But I'm wondering why much people don't go there? Pple seem to prefer Toronto and some other much expensive cities in the GTA. Why is this? Please help with ur opinions, so I don't make a mistake. @Thecongo2, @bsbabe, @wholesomegrace, @naijaforeigner thanks for the information shared about the place. I'll appreciate more sha, make una no vex abeg 1 Like |

We had just been told we were making our descent to Frankurt and that the weather was -2 degrees. I immediately grabbed my socks and jacket and got ready. I kept imagining what the weather would feel like while also imagining how the guy beside me was able to masticate all the grass that was served during the flight. The landing was smooth and I disembarked the aircraft at exactly 6.20am. It was quite cold but I expected worse. The shuttle bus immediately took us to the arrival hall. As we entered the hall, I noticed everyone approach a lady standing at the corner with a long sheet of paper, I followed even though I didn't know why. The guy before me told her he had a special need, she quickly provided a wheel chair and showed him his security clearance gate. I was also shown my clearance gate. So it was good I followed..Lol. Security checks were concluded and I proceeded to the departure lounge close to my boarding gate to wait out my 7.30hours layover. I had bought a sachet tooth paste in Nigeria and had it docked in my jacket so I went to the bathroom....... A few hours later, hunger begin ginger, I thought of enduring it because I didn't know if I could make payments with my master debit card but when it was clear I was going to pass out, I went to the food court to look at what they had on display. I didn't understand some of the things I saw, so to be safe and not end my flight to Toronto in the lavatory, I decided to settle for a bottle of coke and 2 cup cakes(wrong move). As he started punching the amounts on the cash register, I had panic attacks when I saw the total bill stand at 10euros and a fraction. It turned out to be the most expensive bottle of coke and cup cakes I had had in my whole existence as stanbic happily sent a debit alert of 4,680. I paid and angrily left. At the international airport in Lagos, screening was pretty much straigh forward, my checked in bag weighed 20kg so no English was spoken. Boarding pass issued alongside declaration cards. I filled and submitted declaration cards to a cheerful lady. Going through the final check just before proceeding to the departure lounge, the lady asked for my international passport and on sighting the visa category, smiled and said congratulations, I smiled in equal measure and said thank you. The flight from frankfurt to Toronto was announced and I proceeded to the boarding gate, the lady at the desk asked how I got the visa and the program I applied for. The flight was smooth but just too long. I slept, saw movies. Food kept coming and I continually ignored them after opening the pack. I requested for tea at some point expecting Milo and milk...Lol. na herb tea dem give me drink. I found something amazing on the Lufthansa flight(don't know if it's the same with other airlines)...the screen has a clock that winds down so you know how much time is left before landing. At exactly 0.00, the plan is on the ground. Anyways, we landed at Pearson at 16.05pm. After the first clearance, presentation and stamping of declaration cards, I was shown to immigration. The queue at this point wasn't so much but I was on the queue for over 2hours.There were only 2 officials attending to us with the other work stations empty. A lady on the queue fainted after sometime. A couple(both doctors and new immigrants) immediately rushed and started revival procedures. Shortly after, the EMS showed up. When it was my turn, I presented declaration cards, COPR, passport and I was asked to take a sit. Minutes later, I was called and asked to sign my copy of the COPR after asking if I had been convicted or had other dependents. She now said " you became a permanent resident on 25th Feb 2019" and advised I register for my SIN. That was also concluded at about 8pm. All the while my friends were waiting for me. I met up with them and immediately I left the airport....the collllllllllllld that greeted me..... I think it was -13 degrees that day. Nobody could explain to me why the cold had cameroun pepper mixed with it. Lol. We got home and I binged on the jollof rice and barbecue chicken that was kept for me while still bearing in mind I had the last leg of my flight to Halifax the next day. My flight to Halifax was for 14.55pm. My friend dropped me off at 1pm. I got boarding pass and was chilling at the departure lounge with the Wifi until I heard my surname pronounced in a funny manner. I didnt know that announcement for boarding had long been made and we were 2 left to board. I quickly boarded and not long after, we took off. We landed Halifax at 6pm, I picked up my bag and went to the currency exchange booth to get some CAD. Having no friend or family here, I got an airport taxi to take me to my airbnb apartment as my host was already waiting. I was charged 74CAD for a short distance oh. My host showed me to the room and other facilities. The sleep that night was awesome but interestingly, I woke up at 6am Nigerian time. It's not easy being here without a friend or family as you have to figure out everything yourself but it's been an interesting learning process. I don tire to type, na phone I dey use. More gist coming soon. Ciao 126 Likes 5 Shares |

overcomer296:Job prospects are more in the GTA than in London. Its the same thing in Nigeria, housing is way cheaper in Ondo than in Lagos but your job prospects are way higher in Lagos. 4 Likes |
