Nigeria is different from Canada, not worse than Canada. What you can get in Nigeria, you cannot get in Canada. What you can get in Canada, you cannot get in Nigeria. At the end of the day, you have to define what success means to you and your family and choose the location that best suits it. Nigerians are driven by trends and/or peer pressure. Because Ola's son did it, and Nkechi's daughter did it, then my son Ikpong must do it. Canada is not for everyone, to be honest. Nigerian government should focus on improving basic infrastructure and this Japa craze willl end.
You just summarised it perfectly. You have to decide for yourself because wherever you are, you'll always miss what you don't have.
Exactly basic Amenities is all we need in Nigeria
Exactly…. Japa is not the will of God for everyone. Let’s stop following trends. There are opportunities to explore in Nigeria too.
then you guys should relocate back to Nigeria na......
@@ucheattoh don't mind them, since they know Nigeria is better than Canada then what are they still doing in Canada?
Nigeria is hard
canada is hard
So many countries are hard, so please choose your own hard.
If you plan well, in 10 to 20 years time, you will be grateful you relocated
abroad.
I think the biggest issue with Nigeria is insecurity. Life is not all about money, but with the current insecurity, I believe one is better off relocating if they can. Also, imagine the health impact of generator fumes. Please let us be honest with ourselves. This is a country where people are kidnapped in broad day light.
Ada!!! Im enjoying you being here…Welcome🎉🎉🎉🎉Some provinces are colder than some…it just depends on where you settle…Im in the GTA and it is not as cold as Edmonton…Im glad you are experiencing this😊Canada on a whole is nice…some areas are more expensive than some…my rent here is more expensive than in Alberta
I enjoyed your video. I actually watched to the end. You were so engaging and down-to-earth. I subscribed half way through. Well done!
This is the reason I subscribed. You don't sugar-coat stuff. You give it to us like it is.😊
Thank you😘
This is what i say to people in my home country who keep discouraging others from seeking opportunities else where. In Canada or the US you can choose to give yourself a comfortable life. It does not have to be a life of luxury, but you can have a nice place to live and all the necessities you need. In my country people think we leave or left because we were looking for riches. Most people are looking for good schools for their children, jobs which we do not need connections for, different opportunities and activities for themselves and their children. An example for a child to be in dance class it does not take an arm and a leg. Thats just a small example. Swimming classes in my country are for people with money
Over here you don't need much money to be in a swim club. YMCA gives classes at a low price or even free for families who are on low income. At least those with less money are still able to enjoy some activities. Challenges will always be there but as long as one lives within their means and only focuses on what their most important needs are, you will be happy.
True. For you to be poor in Canada, your case must be very very bad. Even at that, you still have access to basic necessities
Welllll said. Could not have said it any better
@@AdaezesSpace See even their own citizens find it hard talk more of an immigrant. I watched a documentary here on RUclips about how Canadians homelessness is rising everyday..most cannot even afford house rent, they live on the streets, in their cars and in shelters.Like they are poor poor...Even the healthcare system that people like boast about is declining...you'll wait months to see a doctor or get treatment/surgery which you might even die before your appointment date..except you're rich and can afford private healthcare..the Canadians that can afford are looking to leave Canada...nobody is discouraging anyone from relocating but you must be informed about these things before you rush and japa...the cost of living is really high there and if you're not careful you may become poorer than you were when you were in your home country.
@@kaysmellsgoodThere are homeless people everywhere. You cannot live a poor and struggling live in Africa and suffer in the Western world. Except you did not do your findings and connect with the right people to source relevant information on how to make it. If you are hard working and very strategic, you will easily make it in Canada, America than in Africa. There are so many hard working, intelligent and jobless people in Africa than in the West.
@@dorisl1542 okay you think so...like people who are suffering abroad will come out openly to tell you...there are people doing well but there are also people not doing well at all.
I come to Brampton every year to visit my family in Canada n we cn easily spend 500 dollars in grocery alone. It’s crazy. UK is expensive but food is super cheap compared to Canada. My cousin been on my neck abt me moving to Canada but I’ll stay in the UK. I do weekends away in Europe every month for cheap I love travelling. Is simply impossible to travel a lot when u r based in Canada. Those national flight costs r a joke
Thank you so much Adaeze for your wisdom in this video. I agree with you. Will you be taking a trip to Calgary? You need to see the mountains in Banff before you leave. Let us know if you will be in Calgary. 💕
Life in Canada is hard if you are a first generation immigrant. If your parents lived here, saved money your education, you go to school for free and stay at home, you save your money, buy a house, get married and move on...but if you come to to survive and help your family back home to survive your family back home, you go tire
You made a lot of points here thank you so much
Great analysis for someone visiting here.Those who has ears let them hear.Nice one Ada.
Thank you👏
Same as my experience between Kenya and New York. The house rent 😔 and car insurance! Being in New York for 7 months made me realize I can enjoy living in Kenya more. When we made the decision to come back to Kenya some people were disappointed but we've never looked back. I love it here in Kenya.
You're right next year I will be going back to Nigeria
@@Queen_Vibes135 you'll feel the difference. Wishing you the best and happiness 🤗
@@FebineAwuor Amen
meanwhile other Africans are breaking their necks trying go to Europe or north America
@@Queen_Vibes135 why not go back today?
Hi from Spain, thank you for speaking the truth. infact, life in Europe 🇪🇺 is difficult but people will never understand. and I thank God you came and you have seeing it yourself.
Europe is different from Canada you cannot compare both of them
This vlog is simply the best, You said everything as it is kudos 🙌
GOD Bless you mrs Adeaze for saying the truth about abroad, because so many people don't want to listen when people tell them the truth about abroad 🙏🏾🥰
Thanks so much for thjs ma
It's so enlightening
Thanks for sharing your honest review .
I love what you said about families moving together. I always tell my husband that me I’m not here for that “my wife and kids are abroad” life. If he wants us to move, he better pack his bags too!
I live in the Uk and the nursery potty trained my daughter. She came to tell me that her teacher told her she doesn’t need diapers anymore . Thank you for the video
My dear your answers are 💯 percent right I like how you know this things well, and well done
Thank you🤗
Nigeria has major security issues....money cant buy security
But you gave very good varying perspectives on the issue, kudos.Its a like for me
Here to hear your view about Canada
I think Nigerians are just obsessed with japa lately to be honest. I understand Nigeria is difficult but that does not make aboard easier . Abroad is a rat race and you use all your money for bills and it is not like when people moved 20/30 years ago .The amount of Nigerians struggling in UK especially is a lot. You can’t say much as they will think you are discouraging them. Everyone should japa and see for themselves 😅
some of the ones struggling in UK are putting up false claims on social media that they are earning and doing so well...
Yes, abroad is difficult, totally agreed, not for a lazy person that feels entitled to what he/she doesn’t deserve, But Compared to the percentage of people in Nigeria doing well without Juju, fraud, Manipulation, lying and cheating in various businesses, selling fake and cheap goods online very expensive…. Naija na jungle where 90% of people are looking for whom to pepper, defraud, steal, bully, laugh at.. Stop Comparing Nonsense, everything no be money. Only one thing needs to be adjusted abroad and everything will be %100 fine(Only House Rent)
Things to be adjusted in Nigeria pass 40….
@@eidavid042why are you so angry? Alot of people in Nigeria are doing very well and maintaining very good family and social life...
👏👏
Wow! Adaeze you did a good job with this topic.
Thank you 🙌
You said it all Adaeze! 👏🏽
Adaeze you're totally right on everything thank you for being honest.
It’s so true you can’t be a medical doctor here if you are a best doctor in Nigeria. But if you have another profession like accounting
Your sister is so lucky to have those communities around her & nice neighbors to help with her kids
You are very correct about the rent. Especially here in los angles California. Rent is way too expensive.
When u come abroad u go to school and get a good career u make a lot of money and can’t compare. I have lived in the US for 10 years and am a nurse and it’s the best decision ever. Maybe you talking about beginners job, because people who have gone to school and chose a good career are booming
You will live long for this truth.
Only those without plan for the future remain stagnant after relocating to another country.
This is very true. Even coming as a PR or on work permit as well. It really depends on an individual’s plan and general lifestyle (eg spending habits, debt, city/town they live etc). But at the end of the day I know the typical Nigerian can be excessive , extravagant and tend to live above their means so they may struggle regardless of what they earn.
I am admiring this your hair. It’s so beautiful and so natural
This was very well deconstructed. I agree with all the points made. Housing cost/ income to expense and tax ratio doesn't make sense in Canada. The average life bubble is maddening so someone has to be really strategic to be prosperous... but so far Canada has good opportunities,stability and an organized system so that trumps alot. Buuuuut as far as the value for money goes as an upper middle class + within both countries... you'll enjoy that money more in Nigeria cause cheaper labor, goods, lower tax etc
If we should have high tax with how crazy transport is expensive, one might actually die in Nigeria.
Is not easy i can testify as i am doing omugo alone i don hear kwili but regardless we keep pushing
I thought Nigeria’s tax system is also progressive and Pay As You Earn. The difference is the tax rate. What probably extends your income as an above middle income earner is you can shop with the road side smalltime retailer and get things a lot cheaper in most instances in Nigeria. If you shop in Nigeria’s equivalent of Walmart and those big retail stores, your income will disappear fast as well. It is a quality of life difference that makes day to day expense higher in Canada and then your taxes become unreal when you start earning above 100k per year. I think Nigeria’s max tax for income is less than 30percent. So some people do pay “heavy” taxes in Nigeria.
Hello beautiful sis .so true rent is d highest bill.
A first time subscriber but i was busy admiring your hair. It is beautiful.
My own 2 cents above trying to live abroad its to view it as a life experience.
It’s better for a family that’s already settled in Nigeria. For example a family that own their own home with no need to dispose of everything they own.
It’s easier to rent a home abroad once PR had been obtained and just move to give the children a different perspective to life. It’s not a bad idea at all.
It’s beautiful even as an adult to navigate life from a new perspective of living abroad.
The biggest lesson is to know that you can survive with much less of everything. Even nice oha soup would become a luxury 😂😂😂😂
Give children new experiences like LGBQ abi? While they eventually turn into Bobirisky? God forbid tufiapia.
You answered all those questions accurately, for someone who is not really based here, you know the drill well well...lol
But I would like to address one aspect of your conversation about taxes - I always encourage people to have a side business so that you pay less taxes, I have done this for years now and you will be amazed at how this helps, I have friends that earn as high half a million$ and yet what they pay in taxes is not even more than 15% (in Corporate taxes).
Hi. Can you enlighten me a bit more about this please? Cos this rat race here ehn…😮
@@Vivich_007 Having a business helps to file things like; Car Insurance, Phone bills, internet bills, Hydro etc as business expenses. Talk to an accountant they will enlighten you better.
Yes children adapts easily ❤ to the cold
Life no balance at all.sometimes i wish i can be here and in Nigeria at the same time.
Nigerians abroad are working hard to buy land in Nigeria ..while those in Nigeria are selling their lands to come abroad😊
They sell their smaller plots of land to work for bigger plots of land 😂
Thanks Ada for your good criticism, you made so much points here
Thanks for watching😘
Thank you for sharing.
I think you’re right, I’m an Haitian American living in America for 10 years plus, I came here where I was younger. I can tell you it’s very hard here.
Thanks for sharing…Love love your hair 🥰…pls where’d you get it?
❤❤❤.. beautiful Adaeze !!nice video
Thank you
Hi Adaeze, can you tell me where you buy this hair or a link for me to follow. Thank you
As someone who has lived in Canada for over 20 years, Canada has drastically changed in the last 10 years and things are only getting worse. I have lived in Saskatoon, Calgary, Vancouver and Montreal. I have family in Edmonton and friends in Toronto. To give you an example, 10 years ago an average Canadian could afford to buy a house or condo in ANY cities in Canada. An average person working full time at Macdonad could afford to buy a house. As of now, if you are single person with a degree or not and making less than 60K /yr you CANNOT afford to buy a home in ANY major cities in Canada. Buying a home in Canada is slowly becoming impossible for most people unless you want to live in small cities which has nothing to offer in terms of job opportunities. Nobody wants to live in small cities or towns because there are no job opportunities there. Even Canadian people themselves do not like those small cities yet alone immigrants. Canada is only good for those coming from poor countries who were poor to begin with. If you were rich in your country or coming from other advanced countries from Europe, Canada is not a place to be. A lot of Europeans and Asians are starting to live Canada to go live in the US, since the cost of living in the US is better. Plus, the US has lots of highly paid job opportunities.
This is so true. Things have really changed. I also say people who are hard working in Africa and struggling to put 3 square meals on the table would benefit in Canada if they come with no expectations but to find work and live a normal life. Kids can go to school and join activities that might be a win for those who are struggling to get school fees back in Africa.
But ya, I remember when houses used to cost $250k. In 2013, that's how much a house cost in a new development. We didn't even have youtube to advise us, remember? We used to go from networking events to networking events. I wonder if networking events are still a thing. I remember my first job in 2009,I was a file clerk at a community health center making $16 an hour. Considering minimum wage being $10.50 and an hour those days. My salary was good. My rent was $600/month for a one bedroom. Things were good then. Actually, things were not so bad until 2020
I second it with my full chest. Only a poor or middle to low income class Nigerians would appreciate living in Canada or outside of Nigeria. But if you are earning serious money in Nigeria, do not leave. And I mean it. You can afford driver, cook, nanny....this lifestyle is only reserved for the 0.05% in Canada. Many Canadian diplomats prefer to live in Nigeria than in the Canada that Nigerians love to Japa to. Asians and other groups are leaving the country en masse.
It's well
I think when people get the passport and have stayed for a while, it is good to plan your exit strategy except you prefer your life in Canada. Other than that, if you want to leave, you have to plan ahead so that you don't get stuck. And buying a house is one of the fastest ways to get stuck in the country.
True
The aspect of having a meaningful relationship is another underated truth.
We had relationships in Nigeria that are just passive and not really definative. In abroad, relationships are more meaningful.
Please, I have this type of hair but to take care of it is a problem for me. Please can you let me know what you use for your own.
That's y i like you,so truthful en,sis i dey feel u,ride on.
Thanks for watching
My pleasure o
You see this life....choose your hard" wisely. Choose your "battles" wisely. I will still choose Canada a million times over Cameroon. In this day and age we all have to be very intentional about anythg we do especially with parenting. I understand pple r balling n living large in African countries but fun fact is they still want their kids to have foreign passports. They still travel abroad for better health care, they still want to own the passports for themselves....Ei get why.😅 Nice vids. If you Japa as an Accountant you can still get an Accounting job and flourish so well. With 10 years experience living here i have lots to say but i will just say Canada is a btful ctry that has its Advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. You just have to be wise and live intentionally❤
Truth be told if you have the means to Relocate pls do. Everyone’s case is different people should not use their own case to suggest to people not to “Jappa”. It all depends on what you want for yourself and family. Living abroad has its pros and cons and No matter what anyone says Nigeria is not getting better even for people with good jobs and good homes. People’s reality are different.
Nigeria has been the same since i was born. My friends that relocated Immediately after university are doing way better, travel alot and here i am with yeye salary.
@@Joypopinsi can't even go to Ghana😅😅 let alone mexico
Thanks my dear for saying the truth which some vlogers that has jagba dosent.
This was awesome. Are you staying in a major city in Canada or a remote area, and how does that affect the cost of rent and food?
I live in Ontario and I agree. We work for rent🤣🤣🤣
Think if you struggling in you home country then migration is a great choice but for those with a good life in you home country you’ll find you’ll take several steps back in a few areas of life. Just have to take the good with the hard 😂. No laziness here O
God bless you my beautiful lovely sister ❤❤❤ I so much love especially your beauty ❤❤😂😂😂
I am Enion, I gained admission to nbcc and my admission was withdrawn the first time due to failure to submit study permit on the due date but I was later granted Visa. I reapplied and I was given but it was withdrawn the second time due to a general reason that they have gotten the number of students they want from my Country. Now I have my Visa and I want to pursue my career in justice studies-correction. What should I do? Thank you for your time.
😅😅😅This reminds me of when my daughter was throwing tantrum when we left a phone shop with buying.. See cry 😂😂😂.. One man just consoled her with a new phone 😅😅😅😊
My dear Adaeze, I had to respond to you, first not every Province in Canada are the same, just like in America, I have lived both places and still have a lots of family all over Canada, I can tell you the benefits when it comes to the Government helping their people, food, and many other things are better than Nigeria. I do agree if You are Rich in Nigeria then it is better but from middle class and under it is Not Better.
Also, the benefits in Alberta are different from the benefits in Ontario.
Some of their benefits are truly impressive. 👏👏👏
True
"Bestest" comment...
I relocated to Australia and it's the best decision of life. I left almost nothing in Nigeria and today, I am in a better place to help family members and plan better for my life and 2 kids. Today, I earn, safe and got few investment ongoing in Nigeria.
I deliberately avoided Canada after doing my comparisons of opportunities in my field; Civil Engineering, weather conditions etc.
I worked the first 4 months in an assemblage factory but now work in my profession as a Civil Engineer in a role as Project Manager.
Yes ooo agreement is very key..
Really important
Yes, don’t come to Canada during the winter. In the summer, sometimes, it is hotter than Nigeria.
So I heard! I can't wait to visit again in summer. By that time the kids would have grown too so we can have fun.
Breath in!
Please it's not easy to get a job here as she's claiming!!
No way to compare life in Nigeria ober there, Yea exactly it depends on individual.
Adaeze please where is your hair from?
Cost of living here is no joke! Only when you get here, will you find out!
Yes, abroad is difficult, totally agreed, not for a lazy person that feels entitled to what he/she doesn’t deserve, But Compared to the percentage of people in Nigeria doing well without Juju, fraud, Olosho, Manipulation, lying and cheating in various businesses, selling fake and cheap goods online very expensive…. Naija na jungle where 90% of people are looking for whom to pepper, destroy, defraud, steal, bully, laugh at.. Stop the comparison, everything no be money. Only one thing needs to be adjusted abroad and everything will be %100 fine(Only House Rent)
Things to be adjusted in Nigeria pass 50….
Merry Christmas 🎄
Adaeze thanks for sharing and I do agree with you that it depends on the person for the quality of life they want to have, lazy people will not do well at all, people who do not want to raise their own children and live baby girl life daily will suffer lol.
They have to be ready to male that sacrifice.
@@AdaezesSpace I agree
We are coming to Canada expensive or not 😊 we want dollars too
You ll appreciate to japa if u yave faced kidnapping or violence by thugs in nigeria before even if u r rich in nigeria.
What is P.R? I kept hearing it over and again
I love u hair and your smile
Nice one.
You are talking fact, the house rent in western countries is very high. The major problem in Nigeria is insecurity.
Major problems : Security, Electricity, Health care, Access to good roads. etc
@@Pearl916quality of life also.
Our problems are more than insecurity o. Leadership and MINDSET is our biggest problem and it can't be solved overnight.
Childcare is much cheaper now than it used to be to be because the government is helping a lot.Even students and foreign workers are helped by the government.I have lived here for 17 years and can tell you Canada is good.Come because you would like to come not because other people are coming.
THANKS blossom
Please it's a lie , times are hard in Canada
To the viewer out there, kindly find all possible ways of betterment to you and your family regardless of what captions on videos like this say!🙌🏾
House rent is dubai is more than crazy, 1 million naira just for a room apartment monthly in downtown, i think is not so in any part of the world, talking about living in skyscraper one room apartment that cost about 4 to 5m in naira, God save us
To be honest Canada is expensive!!! Calgary right now is nothing to talk about.
Why not come back to Nigeria 😮
Obodo oyibo adiro easy at alllllll.
How many percentage has a friend like your sister?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Adaeze u don open everything 🤣
Wow your sister's daycare is terrible, or maybe it's the province because in Ontario the ECEs potty train your kids in the toddler and preschool rooms. Both my kids were potty trained by the staff and we also continue the process at home. If your child is not potty trained by the time they enter kindergarten and they're not developmentally behind, teachers will not change their diapers, you will have to come change them as needed. Canada is expensive though that is correct.
I’m in Edmonton and the daycare teachers helped potty train my kid.
Thank you, my love, my brother in law that have lived in Canada for 2 decades relocated to America few month ago
Why? Do you mind sharing?
@@nwankwoclemmy2651 cost of living in most of Canada is higher than in America
The issue with most of you that relocated is the mind set you are going to be so rich and come home to show off. If this is not met, many get disappointed. Bro, obodo Oyibo is not like that everywhere. Nigerians are more on fast lane and get frustrated when they get slowed down.
Is not about hype is about comparing it to Nigeria. Who says Canada is expensive, come and live in Nigeria.
House rent and taxes have finish abroad people, what annoy me the most is that all this people that are japaing don't say the truth it is not easy at all.
My dear is it Nigeria that’s easy. In Canada be ready to work and you will get paid, and the taxes in Canada are high and you get to see what your taxes is being used for before your eyes, there’s no mis management of public funds etc. you must be multi millionaire to be able to live a good quality life in Nigeria.
The truth is, many of them are just choosing to see the positives since that is what they chose. Same with those of us living in Nigeria. Intact. The negatives in Nigeria are beyond your control to a larger extent that the ones in Canada. So I really don't blame those who want to leave. Nigeria has shown many people premium shege
When you tell them the truth they don't believe that it is not easy. They will say if it is not easy then come back home. I stopped discouraging anyone from Japa, whatever their eye see dem gatz to faramo (yoruba for embrace am). A word is enough for the wise! Shikena
I also believe that it's ones choice to jappa for good reasons not because of your friend's decisions because I'm seeing some people in this RUclips street who seem to have moved because they saw some people moving and now stranded because they never did a proper research and they also don't have a Why? They want to move from Nigeria. I was just saying to my Husband who is from Nigeria how much I love South Africa my origanal country, I don't have nothing that makes want to move and telling him that I'm willing to move to only Nigeria when things are ok there. Sometimes parents are being so unfair to their kids because you wod find that they don't even care how their kids feel about this jappa business and the kids end up having recentment towards their parents. With regards to the jobs I don't see the Uber business as something low because those people are making a lot but when you are not in the business you won't know
The oga kpatakpata of all your answer is Canada Europe America treat you the way you treat yourself and that is fact
But the percentage of the people living good in Nigeria is very small so it’s better to stay here
Is government responsible for your kids education? Fee’s!!!!
I love the way you speak in this video adaeze's 👍 those women that cannot take care of their children leaving their kids for house help and be for mi Madam in Nigeria please they should come to oversea🤣😫
It will shock them when their kids will them to shut up and get out of their room. 🤣
@@AdaezesSpace 😂😂🙈
Hundreds of $ health care for free once you have your health card as a Permanent Residence settles it for me.
Rent in Canada an UK are too expensive..!,,
I never even ready to Japa for now 😂😂
😂 no be small thing o
I don't know why people usa, Canada, Europe with our Afrique countries.
It’s much better here in Canada
