Hey folks!
I hope you enjoyed hearing MY experience.
The contrast between the hustle and bustle in Lagos, plus the beautiful Toronto skylines and massive airport compared to Halifax's green and scenic views was definitely an experience.
I ended up living in Halifax for 3 years. I stayed back after school when all my mates left immediately. It was serene and peaceful. I would love to go back and explore the city a bit more.

Hi Feyi! You look very familiar. Did you attend Yctss?
Yes, I did. Lol
Hi I really enjoyed the video but in your opinion where in NOVA SCOTIA is best to live? Outside of Halifax or would you just recommend living in Halifax
I'm thinking of relocating from Toronto to Nova Scotia. Thank you
What's the big deal about assembling furniture has nothing to do with carpentry.i guess by now you are aware that furniture is available already assembled ha ha.
Insightful, there are a lot of Canadian blogs on RUclips but most don't tell you what everyday life is. This is quite an eye opener.
Glad you enjoyed hearing my experience
I've grown up in Canada so it's very interesting for me to hear what's surprising about it from your perspective. I feel I've learned a lot. Thank you.
I love this video. You seemed really bubbly, relatable and in your element in this video.
Thanks for sharing all these priceless nuggets with us.
Thank you!! 🌹🌹
Really enjoyed this. I love both the serious Feyi and the story teller.
😆😆 thanks!
OMG, all your saying was what I experienced before, you bring my precious memory back. Thank you for the video, I had smile on my face from beginning to the end.
Aww! Thanks for your comment 🌹🌹
@@FeyiMac Great story telling right there if you ask me. As for the racism part, well i think it's kinda sucks but what sucks more is TRIBALISM, which happens a lot back home. I once dated a yoruba lady but her mum was not comfortable with me and referred to me as an igbo man even though I'm from Delta state. It's all around Nigeria, Yorubas against igbos, Igbos against hausas and vice versa. I thinktIt's so worse than white on black hate.
I LOVE THIS haha! I was seriously paying attention to the gist and nodding like you were right in front of me. Please more of this content. God bless!
😂😂😂 thank you!
I absolutely love this!!! You laughing as if there are 2 of you there, but it's obviously just you reliving the memories by yourself, with yourself. I plan to move to Canada shortly; I was planning to apply to do my Master's degree but I'll definitely speak to the immigration lawyer about the Express Entry Program.... You're absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for the great content.
Thank you!! 🌹🌹🌹
That's where I'm going actually, Halifax
@@sandra-ku1si that's great!
You are so good at conveying your story! Very captivating!
Thank you! 💃💃
I loved the video!!! 😄
The experiences you shared were hilarious 😂😂😂. I literally laughed all the way.
You have saved a life. I know I'll definitely need these when I move to Canada.
Thank you and keep lighting the world with your great sense of humor and lovely smile.
Love your hair, by the way. 🤗
Love your story. I really can just see the image you paint in your explanation.
Great story, love your sense of humor, have a nice life in Canada. Greetings from Peru.
Thanks!! 🌹
Lool. Thank you for sharing your experience. Now I have your experience to learn from when I eventually get to Canada
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Glad you did! Thanks for watching.
You’re sharing your experiences so well. You really have a way of putting the viewer in your shoes, conveying how coming to a new country must feel lol. Can you share how you’re doing socially now (making new friends, homesickness, feeling isolated being such a minority, etc)? I’m really enjoying your channel.
(And how are you even doing your hair, finding hair products? Love your locs!)
Thank you!!
Yes, I can do a video on that.
There are lots of loctians here and a plethora of products as well.
Who makes your locks....????after leaving the bus what happened to other girls...were they shot ????
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, pls we want more videos like this to give us insight of what shocks we might face
Sure thing! I have a few videos that'll help reduce the culture shock
Omoooooooo
I just saw this video coincidentally and I love it!
I was laughing through out. I just subscribed and hit like😊
Haha! Thanks for watching! 🌹

Sorry about your encounter with that lady on the bus. I liked how you quickly excused yourself from the bus.
I can't even imagine myself bieng in that situation.
Lol! Feyi! More of both, storytelling and serious you. Love your posts. Thanks for being informative
Thanks for the hypnosis. I just can't tell what made me stay till the end. You are a natural story teller, Feyi Windows... Sorry Mac. Thanks for being real about it. Got lots of friends in Canada. Wish you the best in your citizenship and all your future endeavors.
Lol thank you 🙂

'I'm not a carpenter, I'm a fine girl' 😁
New subscriber here 🤗
I subscribed fast when you mentioned Pub Relations in class...
Yay! Welcome to the family!
hahaha when you talked of seeing the forest through the plane, I remembered my experience too.
When I was landing in Montreal, Canada - I looked through and all I saw were farmland. I was shocked and worried and my excitement ended. But I resumed after driving through the city. So I feel here
I really enjoyed this video. I laughed 😅 alot. JJC vibes. Thanks for sharing Feyi. I learnt a lot.
Feyi😊, I really enjoyed watching your videos. I'm actually a new subscriber, came across your video on page probably because have been searching for info about applying for a master's program in Canada. Thank you for sharing your experiences am sure these info will be quite valuable when I come to Canada 😊.
Really interesting story Feyi. I fell for the bus thingy too. I did a lot of walking.
I know right? We could have just asked questions😭😭
Lol...Thank you for the gist Feyi. God bless our parent.
Amen! Thanks for watching.
This video made me laugh so much Feyi. It's amazing how much we have in common including our MAJORS lol. I kept saying Yup,yup, yup, me too lmaooo. I started remebering the first time I came into america and girllll the SHOCK was beyond me. I even have a video coming up next week of my immigration story (shameless plug lol). Anyway, I also love how you talked about educating yourself on racism, I too had to learn through a few experiences and class. All in all, i resonated with this content and I employ you to do more of it. Go girllll, roast us we are your asunnn.
Ayyy! Glad you could relate to my experience, it's not easy being a JJC in North America. Will definitely look out for your video!
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I’m originally from near Toronto in Ontario. My parents were shocked I would choose to go to school in New Brunswick when I was finished high school. Then off to Ohio in the U.S.A., after I was married. I have lived more than half of my life in Nova Scotia. My parents were surprised by how many trees were here too. They did enjoy Halifax when we took them there. 💜
Nice! Halifax really grew on me and I ended up staying back after school until I eventually moved to Ontario. The air is fresh!
This is so fun to watch I love it 🥰
Nice one dear. Quit an eye opening one. Thanks for sharing
🌹🌹
NIce and detailed video. So funny! Thank you very much

Just came across your account and I'm glad I did! I relate hard with your story. Coming to Windsor next year and I'm the only black student in my class 😭 Hearing your story has made me feel a little better ❤️
You'll definitely be fine! Welcome in advance 🙂
Canada is nice to everyone. Come we are waiting
Feyi when you talked about passing your bus stages, it remained me the times I got lost in Nairobi. By then I was in p . 5 in Uganda & Kenyans call it standard 5. This was in 1980.
Hi thanks for the information, looking forward to such beautiful scenes.
Thank you! 🌹
@@FeyiMac UWC

I really enjoyed this video. 😁

You are absolutely doing great
This woman!!!!!!
You will not kill me.
This video is so hilarious.
🤣🤣🤣
I laughed at your comment about nobody on the road when you and your parents went out. Last time I was in Nigeria 2010, I told my childhood friend who I went to high school with in the 80s that there were so many people everywhere that it was scary. I didn’t remember it being like that when I lived there. She laughed and said it was always like that and that I have been gone too long. I literally love quiet areas with hardly anyone roaming the streets 😊I find it peaceful and serene👍🏽
I grew to love the peace and quiet. I ended up moving out of Toronto to a quiet area.
What a nice content.i really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh am not too late to subscribe
Nice content 😅am really laughing loud

Hi Feyi your info is really mind shifting. Thanks alot. Hope you are good and fully settled in Halifax........ oga juuuuuuu
Thank you! I actually moved to Ontario two years ago.
I enjoyed watching your video 😊
I am a new subscriber, planning to move to Canada already. Thanks
A very informative video. As a Canadian I would have hoped that your experience had been better.
Thanks Elizabeth, I would have hoped so too but we live and learn.
@@FeyiMac Ya i'm so sorry you had to go through that on the bus. People can be so ignorant.
Hi Feyi ,thank you very much for your video contribution about Halifax NS and your experience (What is ~Halifax in the first place ,ha ha ,priceless!)I really related to you experience as an international student who chose Halifax Nova Scotia to study.I and many others from the Caribbean in particular went study at St Marys University Dalhousie Mount St Vincent Nova Scotia Tech TUNS.I have very vivid and powerful memories of living in Halifax and the experience especially as a person of African Caribbean origin. It was fascinating to hear you articulate your impressions about the city. The thing that really impacted me was about your experience on your masters degree and one of your lectures where the topic of racism in North America was being traversed. The name KKK came up and you found yourself having to ask in class "what is the KKK". That blew my mind literally as a person of african descent born and raised in the west. I was born in the UK. It is obvious that you are clearly an intelligent educated and progressive young person. Not knowing about some of the bus route as a result of the poor or lack of information system management IT system on the transport systems and having to ask for directions as a new person is one thing. But coming from Nigeria as a post Graduate student and never having heard of the KKK or Klu Klux Klan is mind blowing. This is classic black history about the experience of black person in colonial and post colonial western world , and most obviously relates to slavery subjugation an oppression of black people .What does this say about the history education that is taught in the secondary school curriculum in Nigeria? Regardless Thank you for your video . It was very informative , funny and enlightening with serious perspective I .When I got to Canada I found it fascinating that Nova Scotia as the highest number of Black in Canada .When i say this i mean those who are descendants of the original migrant from Carolina USA pre war of independence from UK and New York in the 19th Century also those maroons deported from Jamaica who where sent on to Sierra Leone to re-settle that new Africa territory.
Hi,
You should not fault the Nigerian education system. We are a people of over 500 different tribes and cultures, our history classes can't fully cover all our experiences and histories. (To put it in perspective, my son came home with homework on "Nigeria people and origin ", while the topic discussed 52 tribes, mine was not included . That's to tell how extensive history here is)We went through colonization and slavery here, there's a lot to cover, not knowing about the KKK does not in anyway makes us less. And not to sound antagonistic but have you heard of the Ogori people in north central Nigeria? The Oworo?. I bet not, would I consider your education system faulty? No.
Africans are diverse and it's hard to know everyone's experiences .
Regards
I really enjoy your videos. I love your laugh.
I love your contents is very insightful
Thank you 🙂
I really like your hair, you are very pretty and cute!
Thank you🌹
The whole bus thing, knowing which stop, etc. Maybe that’s just in Nova Scotia...cause in Québec and BC, it is announced: screen or voice.
Yeah, that's good. Nova Scotia has recently upgraded their buses as well
Thank you for this video, it was very informative especially for us coming to Canada
You're welcome, I'm glad you learnt a thing or two.
wooow, I've liked your story, I'm in another country far from Canada but We all live in fear I too some times change walking directions when I'm afraid of some people
That downtown was beautiful!
Nice... really love your humour
Thank you 🌹
You are doing an amazing job girl👌👌👌
Thanks Remi! 🌹
Looool was so funny. Your facial expressions crack me up all the time
Nice video. Part 2 pls
Thanks for watching! 🌹🌹
I love your vibes... Lit..
I am new to your channel, but I am glad to inform you that you have a NEW FAN right now. I have followed you on Instagram. Will try never to miss any of your updates/post.
Awesome!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hello Mrs Mac
I'm a Single applicant under 30, WES completed since March 2020, about to complete an additional degree(ACCA), took ielts in August 2020 but didn't get my desired score so I'm preparing to rewrite before December. Also I'm in the pool but I need to increase my score with a better ielts score.
I hope to get selected for the ielts sponsorship😊
All the best to everyone 🙏🏽💜
Hello Feyi
I enjoy your content.
Thanks a lot!
Woo what a story a story . Very good indeed.
Thank you! 🌹
Oh my 😂😂😂, thank you for being so real with us
Very interesting! I think I should share my own story too lol.
You should, would love to hear it!
Definitely love this content 🙏🏽
Thank you 🌹
Thankyou for sharing
Insightful as alwys
Thanks for watching🌹
Nice one Feyi! I had a similar experience with the bus and on top of that, I was paying the fare every single time I hop on the bus, I didn't know I was meant to take a transfer slip that allows me to use one payment for 1.5 to 2 hours 🤦♀️
Very relatable! 👍
Oh my! That too 🤣🤣
I had no idea about transfer slips until after a few weeks of paying for every ride! Haha, thanks for sharing Mo!
Good afternoon Feyi, I'm 29 years old and I lost my job due to the covid 19 pandemic. I already did my ECA but haven't being able to do IELTS due to the lack of funds. I recently started an advanced diploma with ICM through the help of wonderful friends and family members, I needed to boost my CRS score to help my Express entry profile. I'm currently studying for my IELTS through different RUclips channels and it's being interesting and I'm putting in all effort to get nothing less than band 9.
I would like to be one of the lucky winner's of the paid IELTS sponsorship.
Thank you for being so helpful and God bless you 😊🙏
That was a great video and I like the DIY lines. I'm a new PR in Nova Scotia (Dartmouth) but this weather is still doing me anyhow and thinking how I'll cope with life during winter. Everywhere is still boring to me and not like bubbling Lagos .
However, I've barbed my hair twice since I came because I cannot pay 30 Dow to any barber
Hey! Wow, that's awesome! The weather won't be so bad compared to other cities. You'll definitely be fine. Downtown Halifax is fun if you hang around the right crowd. DIY makes sense. Never stepped foot in a salon in Nova Scotia. I did everything myself.
@@FeyiMac Thank you Feyi.... Where Una dey get the right crowd😀😀😀😀? I visited sting garden road few times and my curiosity makes me walk down to sacred heart school 🤣😅 and I finally ate burger 🍔 that's not made for village boy like me
Lol you'll meet people, don't worry.
@@WasiuAbdul ..Oga calm down sir, no burst my belle with laff abeg. las las u go dey ok o
@@ogbonmojisola3623 shoo... Come Nd see the day it first snowed in Dartmouth which was my first experience, it started in my korokoro eyes and it felt like heaven bubbles. Within 2-3 hours, the roads turned to ice block... I was like, who send me come Canada oooo😂😂😂.. I prepared going to work, and my car stucked in the snow, after many attempts to move, I just put it in reverse and started rigmarole like Iyana Ipaja driver
Your videos are so informative. Thank you!
I am 25years old.
B.A. Music + professional qualifications.
3 years work experience.
Taken a CRS assessment and qualify under the Federal Skilled Worker Class.
Currently preparing for IELTS next month. Would really appreciate that sponsorship! Thank you!
Hello Feyi
I remember the first time I came across your profile online was during Dr. Addy’s instagram live were you demystified all the myths on IELTS writing. You made a statement; it is either clb 10 or nothing. This words has been my driving force when studying.
I wish i could win the IELTS sponsorship and take the test before the end of 2020. I have evaluated my credentials with WES
Please I'm dying for more of your stories.
