Moving back to Nigeria. NO It speaks alot of volume.

I think what most of you forget is, \nThere's basically no job here in Africa, the unemployment rate is so high , that in Nigeria most of our youths have resulted in yahoo yahoo, or ritual killing, kidnapping etc \nAnd am not saying no good thing is happening here for some , obviously there are positive things \n\nI believe when you travel, you travel for a reason, \nTo make usefulness of yourself..... yes you'll feel homesick but your focus should be your aim \n\nNowhere is actually cheap \nProbably because of exchange rate

Where are they moving to because everything you narrated it's the same in the US? Do we really go on vacation in Nigeria. Maybe government workers do but not private

Removing sentiments, home is where your heart (loved ones) are and where you find peace. People who have found peace in Canada should not be shamed to think they have to move back sometime or the other.\nAlso, it shouldn't be a question for recent immigrants who have not perfected their stay yet. Canada can be home just as Nigeria is home to.\n\nI wonder how soon the interviewer will move back to Nigeria. Funny how she assumed all the people she interviewed are Nigerians ?.

Quebec have the highest taxes in Canada, I think you probably talking about Quebec, not the rest of Canada.\n\nAnd Why she complained about taxes and wealth when her Nigerian country has even more taxes and she wouldn't be able to make money like that in Nigeria.

??????? Come back to Nigeria first..then i will hear you well???

I'm Kenyan living in the Netherlands. I feel now I'm older once my child turns 18, I'd love to live in my country.\nI admire Canada, and many Africans here once they got their passport went to Canada. I find it cold that's why I didn't come, but have visited Nigeria and want to visit again. I visited Lagos longtime. Hope to visit Abuja. Love Naija food, fashion and culture. I'm surprised most young folk don't want to go back home, but maybe when they're retired. It's all good, build home from outside.

They know in Nigeria they may be kidnap and get killed. I don't blame them jaare.

If Nigeria fixes up, on God, I'm moving back. We need good leaders, security and good infrastrucure. Once these are in place, what the hell am I doing here?

??????❤Many of that don't want to move back to Nigeria have lost ooo all your generations lost oo like Africa America that like to come later when Peter obi wins I am sure you guys begin to come back

Nigeria is literally gone and in a deeper hole than it was in 2015. As the days goes by it is becoming INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT to survive on a daily basis. Anybody telling someone to go back to Africa does not mean well. Most Nigerians that come back home is because of 3 things it is either they are lazy committed murder domestic violence or involved in shady deals or their family idol summoned them back home. And Nigeria has the best cathedrals while our hospitals are nothing short of mortuaries.

Nigerians are amazing! They complain about all they don't have in Nigeria and so move abroad. When they get there, they continue to complain about all they have. #givethanks

Then I guess the question is why did you leave Nigeria? I say this as Canadian Nigerian who has lived in Canada, the US, the Middle East and South East Asia. Every country has its pros and cons.

I will really want to move to Canada with my friend but i don't know how to start..really need help, how to start..from nigeria

I just feel the best ways to appreciate your income is when you understand the taxing and at thesame time appreciate the taxing also. Always go for the very high paying jobs and don't see any figure as high unless you understand the taxing system. And I love the fairness in these countries, no one literally feels above the other all because of the amount of wealth you have accertained. A country where money does not solve it all like back in Nigeria.

did yo move back to nigeria?

Question; What is the like for Immigrants who earn pensions after having worked and having retired from a company in Canada? \nAre most happy they did so being able able to return to Nigeria and live well off of that income?\nRelated question; Do Nigerian companies offer pensions? I understand they do not have a Social Security benefit for those who are Senior in age.\n\nI am not being condescending. I just know really little about the country's systems.\n\nIt's good you two made ths video so others can have a glimpse, a perspective of an Immigrant in Canada.\n\nBest wishes to you both!

Nigerians want to be anywhere but Nigeria.

Once the governance issue in Nigeria is fixed, the country will experience huge growth and development which will spur many Nigerians in the diaspora back home. Nigeria is a treasure and a goldmine.

if you don't like it that much go back to nigeria ? if its that bad

Ghana is much morecomfortable than Nigeria. How come all these Nigerians are mainly from the west of Nigeria

You need taxes for your hospitals, rads, defence etc. The health care problem is not unoque to Canada. We also have it in the UK. The healthcare system is much much better than in the USA and better than in West Africa. Cost of living is high everywhere. You don't look homeless. Try living in the USA. Go back to college and get a better qualification and earn more. In the USA you are more likely to be shot than in Canada. Go back to University and get a good degree or try Nigeria or Ghana. In Africayou have communities e.g Indian community, Lebanese community Yoruba community, Ga community. Common girls, be real

There's no place like home. If not for the greedy ruining pigs that made lives unbearable in Nigeria. What are we doing in a strange land? But very soon God will send help to us in Nigeria. The ground will swallow all the enemies of Nigeria the bandits and the oppressors. Canadian passport is no the strongest in the world that's not true. Is good to have foreign passport. Nigeria will be great too.

Africa and Nigeria is best place.Indians, Chiness,Lebannies etc making it in the continent. Smh!

Interesting view points...move to Nigeria and give us feedback...NEPA alone will send you packing

Give these young fellas 8-10 yrs esp the men. They will all run back to Nigeria / Africa. The west is an illusion and will drain you physically and mentally for both genders. I've been in the uk for 13-14 yrs since I was 18yrs old so trust me. First 3yrs I said ain't going back. But from 2018 i started seeing life different esp if you are a man. Men be very careful with these women abroad as they will use their female privilege to ruin you if you are not careful. Be very selective who you date or marry. 70% of men are in prison in the UK because his gf or partner make up stories. Warn your sons to be careful out there.

Hmmmmm,what we fail to understand is that people joined hands to make Canada what it is. For some of them they cheated the Nigerian system to move to Canada and they are there behaving like Canada is heaven. If you were asked to pay tax in Nigeria most of you will evade it. I think blacks love being second class citizens and is never willing to fight for what is good. I live over sea my self but I do is what part can I play to make the country livable where my children are kings and queens in their God given land

Who would choose to move to Nigeria when you know that there's still a lot of work to be done in the country... My dear I'm not going anywhere.

How long do you have to wait in Nigeria in the emergency room. Stop complaining they gave you two refugee status in canada now you bite the hands that feed you.

Were you forced to leave in Canada???\n\nCanada is boring, yen yen yen yen yen...\nDid you go there to catch fun? So it should be a bear parlour society???\n\nPlease return to Nigeria.

Let's just all pray for a better Nigeria and vote right this time around. Imagine that some ignorant youths are still rooting for Tinubu and his life likes. The same party that reduced Nigeria to where it now. I can't tell if it's stupidity, or wickedness. Peter Obi for President come 2023 because every body cannot run away from Nigeria. If Tinubu or Atiku makes it to presidency in 2023, then Nigeria is finished. This 2023 election is our like our only hope for a better Nigeria, let's not toil with it.

So why did you leave Nigeria?

Nigeria a bloody hell's for poor people no principle good for fraudster a thieves a killer croc con artist

I personally don.t fancy canada but I learnt that it is easier to relocate there and after which I can move to USA. US is said to be harder to enter which is the final destination. Some may say africa is better , that depend on the part of africa. Ordinary paypal account for freelancing is not possible in a place like nigeria but when ypu are in canada or USA, there are a lot of benefits.

This is what Ben Shapiro is saying in the US.\nNothing is really free. Here in Nigeria, the public infrastructure (health) is poor but when you have your money, there are options.

HA I GUESSED YOU WERE FROM Nigeria where the average person can not afford bread only gangsters famileys can move so I guessed as soon as you got Canadian passport I bet you went To the States

The reasons are not valid....I wish you ladies would relocate to Nigeria permanently....to test the Systems in Nigeria...it's ugly

Me right now. My husband and I are moving back to Nigeria and not regretting it one bit , we have a better life over there and we’re going with our jobs so it’s very worth it for us. I got called the n word and spit on, I got harassed so many times, I got racially profiled so many times all in the same Canada . It’s a no from me , plus the bad weather. It’s just not worth it to me at all so back home it is

Everyone misses family and friends...The insecurity in Nigeria is breaking family ties.

Check out this video --> Why I Moved From Nigeria to Canada (My Immigration Story) - https://youtu.be/WdNusBLwAcw

Canada must be nice. I live in the US and I'm definitely not cutting ties with Nigeria not now not ever. I see myself investing over there and moving back in the future. No place like home. I can't give up my heritage for breadcrumbs in the West. No matter where you are abroad, you're nothing but a second class citizen.

@whizqueen could you pls enlighten me the more am coming to Canada to study and work soon but I wanna know more about their cost of living at least I calculated some and I think I can work it out at least it’s better than living in Nigeria been a 300LV student since 2020 and still 300LV till date

My Guy said maybe in 90 years time ??? it sounds funny doo, but it's some how sad how we have ran Away from Our Countries just because of Bad Governments, Even here in Europe i don't see myself going back to Nigeria to base, i only prefer visiting Families and friends Only

No matter how Canada is u cannot compare it with Nigeria it is better for me to work and get my salary and food on my table

Entered Canada 2006-moved back to Nigeria 2010...I didn't just want to have phoneh and no financial backing..been sunshining since. Mehn!! last I visited Canada was 2016! I am due for a Toronto/Montreal victory tour.?

What about going back to Nigeria?

You don't get a reward or a claim for car insurance unless you get in accident ffs. If you (who ever feels this way) don't see the benefit of paying these bills, nigeria would love to have you guys back I'm sure. High cost of living? Isn't it the same in Lagos? And there an no amenities? Taxes? The good roads you drive your car on, the hospitals etc, they don't just appear magically - do they? Boring? Make friends, try new sports, travel to new places (within and outside Canada), explore, get a job(so at least you have somewhere to go? Home sick? Grow up or go home - period!! There are minority groups in nigeria too (I come from a minority group in nigeria and its a similar feeling). Nobody moves you to a retirement home (compulsorily) if you have family and your family can care for you.

You pay taxes in Nigeria but they use it for nothing, and you work excess hours for little pay

They don't miss anything in Nigeria they are just lying

Nigeria! My country! It's the best place to be in the whole world. The only problem we have is bad leadership. Give us good leaders and see. Good weather, good culture with moral values, good food, good people and bad government.
