He's an immigrant because he's a Nigerian living in Canada but if he was a Canadian living in Nigeria he would be called an expat.
What Canadian is moving to Nigeria? No one by choice. Maybe transferred by an oil company.
Worked under him and it was a remarkable experience in Nigeria
He seems like a Blessed Soul
I need his contact
He is a wise man saying the truth.🤯🤯🤯😭😭😭
@@akubuirocharles3390this is a lovely report. I wish him all the best but Africa would have remained the best but we have wicked and disgusting leaders
I doubt he’s pleasure to work with. He sounds like unhappy, full of rage, manipulative prick.
Don't leave if you have something solid back home
Don't leave if you don't have a clear defined plan of what you're doing and the journey ahead, if you can't see your plan years ahead when you relocate please don't.
Leave if you're willing to endure a few hardship at first cause it gets better very fast.
Leave if you really have zero prospects back home and you don't see that changing and you have the means to leave.
My take
Hey man the later sounds like me, I’ve come across the opportunity to leave Nigeria but I’m scared of making the wrong choice. I would appreciate it if you could tell me more about life in Canada so I know what I’m signing up for
Its easy to say if you have property or wealth Dont come to Canada but very hard to get immigration for Canada and it take lot of money only very Rich people can come here
@@dennisnnoromCanada have quality of life but no saving here life is boring lonely here is life security fresh environment medical free education free parks food is cheap justice but make some friends in canada and don't get into trap of loan credit cards car loan house mortgage stay away from these things
I agree in his case he was already making good money , also owning 3 cars ,he didn’t need to leave Nigeria since he was doing well in there ,you will always be disappointed if you were doing well in one country already and you decided to leave start again in a different country .
@@dennisnnorom hey man. Well I don't live in Canada again I moved to the UK to work and be closer to family. I can tell you these truths you'll have social and physical security when you just land. Financial security will come later. You'll have more organisation in your life and if you're serious you'll get alot of things done in a short while. Now I'm talking from my experience as a young single man with a family which is OK, I don't send money to anyone. They're other benefits like healthcare, 247 everyday utilities and an overwhelming presence of governance.
There use to be an abundance of employment when I was there, but I see people on this comment section saying its not the case now. Like I said before if you have something great ie you can afford to have constant electricity, live in a good area with security, afford to have access to clean water and your children can go to world standard schools then stay otherwise park and leave. It'll be hard but it'll get better, the system will make you in no time and if you're a Nigerian like me you know we're survivors
My people, the best time to relocate to any country is in your early 20s or even as a teenager. If you do it at a later age with a family, your experience will be very different
What makes it best when you travel early ?
@@Gracieevxi You don't have the responsibility of taking care of a family so you can take your time to explore, find your place in the society before settling down. When you're older, you're more risk adverse because you have more to lose so you'll scramble for anything thrown your way just to pay bills.
It's simple logic, if you doing well in your country, there isn't any need permanently relocating abroad, i am doing better here in Nigeria, though the inflation is choking but I could still pull forward day by day and my environment is one that keeps my sanity intact. Even when I am broke or sales are stagnant I could fall back on other things, even when there is no money to eat i can eat from my landladys house or travel back home, the community enables you to prosper and the empathy of people, how we care for ourselves is really soothing.
Amen
@@esthersbucketlist my dear the grass is greener where you water it, I almost traveled abroad few years back, but I just Said to myself what if I use this money that my parents gave to me, start up something and in few years it would grow. That is what I have been doing so far , as for traveling it's for vacation and I love traveling around Nigeria and Africa.
GOD BLESS YOU

The west is a trap.
I REPEAT THE WEST IS A TRAP.
ENTER AT OWN RISK.
Possitives in the west.
Financial situation ✅
Safety ✅
Negatives
No culture ⛔
Godless societies ⛔
Materialistic view ⛔
Life is all about money ⛔
Life is all about work ⛔
Depression is high ⛔
People dont Talk with eachother ⛔
Loneliness because of lack of finding friends ⛔
No enjoyment in life⛔
I can mention so many more
Life is a trap in the west.
Listen to me people. Its better to be at middle class or a little below in your own country than to live in these places just to have more materialism, trust me all the other things will weigh it down ⚖️.
I REPEAT DONT GO ITS A TRAP. LISTEN TO YOUR BROTHER.
How about security? I hear kidnappings are the order of the day over there😏
I went to Canada get my citizenship and then moved back home for some of those same reasons. Life is easier and better home. I didnot sell anything b4 going to Canada and dont care who thi k i should nor returned. Been there done that. Doing extremely great now.
That is amazing to hear. Wishing you the best
We all wanna be like you
Smart
Wow! Can i have a word with you on this pls. Are u on facebook? Where we could chat privately pls.?
Way to go, brother!
I moved here towards the end of 1999,and my older brother moved here early 2000. He was already established back home,while I moved here from my university. He went back after six months,came back after six month to spend another six month. He left and have not returned since then. He found out it was better for him over there. I on the other hand, was studying for my engineering; so it was better for me to stay. If you are already established where you are, I will advise you travel abroad for vacations, but don't sell all you have thinking you are travelling to paradise. I will say, travel for your own education or your children's education sake, for peace sake,for medical sake; outside of those, it might not be worth it.
The only decent jobs for Canadian trained engineers are in the US.
Absolutely!
I love this honesty and truthfulness. Thanks mate
You are so right , very good advice
Peace?
I salute the Nigerian professional for being this open. I don't know how many people are willing to openly discuss their situations in his position.
Definitely its a brave thing to do. Thanks for dropping by
He is STUCK!
Deep down inside of him he knows he has made a great mistake! Unfortunately, like many of the well established ones who left Nigeria due to colonial mentality, they are unable to return. They have sold off everything and some even borrowed to depart from Nigeria. There was a report last week about Nigerian immigrants living off food donations in the UK because they were stuck!
That’s good for them, I meant those who were doing well but chose to leave everything behind due to inferiority mindset.
It is for a short time. Things will get better for him overtime. I am talking from experience of mine and many many others. We came here struggling and some moments of regrets too. But today, we are all in the 6-figure lives and we are so grateful to God for that. Nigeria could not have afforded us that except through corruption. Not to talk of the
relative peace of mind of Canada. @@Moabayi-yf6ul
That's good for them? You are here laughing over people's misfortune but I'm sure yours is worse. At least he was brave enough to chase his dreams. While you are hating, he would make it over there regardless of what you think of his situation.
He already stated it in the interview, he is doing it for his kids. Matter of fact and the funny thing is his kids stand a better chance at quality of life than yours. Stop hating and if you don't have a good thing to say, just move on.
@@Moabayi-yf6ul u are such a sadist
I moved to Canada in the early 2000s as a young single lady. I had zero responsibilities or commitments to anyone back home, my expectations were not high, and i was on a journey. Canada is good when you immigrate on your own and have nothing to loose back home meaning no properties etc.
I enjoyed living in Canada. Of course challenges will always be there but i always found a way out of them. I will forever be greatful to Canada.😊
Don't Mind Some people
@ibehmiracle4011 he only spoke based on his own experience. I hope you noticed that. And flourish spoke on her experience. Probably you have experienced the greater success of immigrating and your experience should be respected when told. Everyone has a different story to tell.
@mellejayneir838 Absolutely, we all have different experiences. This is why it breaks my heart when people immigrate and do not get a good experience. I hope this man's children, on the other hand, get a good experience.
@@mellejayneir838
Just like he said, don't mind him. He thinks he doesn't want him to come to Canada until he experiences the same thing
@@ibehmiracle4011Some of you only listen to have a combative response. Your minds have been programmed to hear and see things wrongly. Don't mind some people how?? Did this lady dispute what was said? Read to understand!
This guy being interviewed is too good. He knows what’s really going on!
He’s a psychiatrist, so he is able to assess the issue well.
🙏🏾
Great interview. I however want to differ on the point that working in Nigeria is more relaxed. That's one of the reasons our economy is as poor as it is
I was sitting in front of a doctor few days ago in Lagos and for most part he was pressing his phone. He did not as much as looked at the results of the investigations he requested
When it is time to work, ensure that you work
The Bible says that the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. May God's presence abide with us anywhere we are
Africa is a good place a rich continent even without working out ourselves to death..the only problem we have in Africa is our resources does not benefit us but a few people.
You are absolutely right. People don't understand that all these advanced countries are progressing because of work they are putting into their job. But we in Africa always complain about working. We should stop complaining about things not working well in Africa
If he relocated back home after his experience in Canada, I would agree with him. Thats not the case. He is "sticking around for his kids". Let him encourage others to come for the sake of their families as well.
Thank you for saying that. A lot of the people that say these kinds of things about the country, are mostly always still there. If it’s not as good than maybe you should just leave…
I honestly don’t listen to these videos anymore because 9/10 will still stay in that “difficult” country
It’s because they are already deeply invested. It’s true that Canada is not what it seems like. It’s hard and if you feel you can endure then please make the decision to relocate. Just remember it’s very difficult so you can prepare yourself mentally. Everything he mentioned is true including the racism part.

@@yeasurenaomipermit me to tell you something you’re yet to know and understand. Most Immigrants live hand to mouth and hoping their story changes. The hardest part of it all is you CAN’T leave because you can barely afford a new life back home. This isn’t something that can be explained to people, it’s an experience you learn from first class.
@@jidec3165I want to believe that you’re also in Canada just like me
You guys need to understand that it’s not always easy to return home immediately because once’s you get here you’re trapped. Don’t forget that we sell our things back home sometimes and have destroyed everything and coming home without having saved up anything to come and start all over is not nice,
Stop just saying come back come back
True Esther
@esthersbucketlist you're so correct. Its a big sacrifice people make when they move abroad and something that cannot be easily reversed. People won't understand unless they go through it themselves.
@@kaizabi yes and when you tell people back home what it’s like they think you’re trying to prevent them from coming, me if I knew what I know now I would have stayed home
@@esthersbucketlist I respect you sticking to your decision even thought it may have not been easy. Wishing you my best.
@@esthersbucketlistme and you
It is complete madness to sell everything you have if you’re established. Moving back to Nigeria has been the best decision of my life, the money I earn here can’t be compared to when I was still in cooperate America. And I have so much left to save.
What industry do you work in?
This varies for different industries
If I may ask. How many years did you live in America and what industry did you work in?
There are clean ways of making money in Nigeria. You won't appreciate Nigeria until you Japa. I am planning relocating back to my country in a couple of years .
You made the right choice.
@@Hey_me Nawa, oh.
He was spot on!!! don't relocate if you have something going on and make sure you have a scholarship.I finished college in Nigeria in 2014 with a degree in Agronomy,i couldn't get a job and felt my degree was trash,got admitted to Tennessee state university with full funding in 2021 for an msc in plant and soil biotechnology.I will be finishing in november with zero debt,some savings and a job waiting for me in one of the biggest biotech companies here.Leave if you have a solid plan because trust me it gets better fast!
Thank You speaking the truth
Really struggling to get a faculty member to accept me for mentorship for my graduate study. Any idea or info to help please?
Despite all this, tomorrow people like you will still complain of something else
Wow! But in Africa, no hope of getting a job after school without having "connections". I just feel Africans are ungrateful! We are!
@@be_enchanted Don't mind them. Most Nigerians are suffering below poverty level. Insecurity kills them like flies. Yet they dare open their mouths to run down countries thay accepted and gave them jobs. There is no basis for comparison. If you work in some Wester nations you are better off. If you want to go back home, give yourself a 10 or 20 year plan. Work, earn, save, then go back home with enough money and investments. Simple.
First off i thank my colleague for his frankness in narrating his experience. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable. I believe his account is balanced and frank ,even though each immigrant will have their own story to tell. Everyone is encouraged to pursue their dreams just know that sometimes it takes more than we are prepared for. More grace and strength to everyone in this boat; thank you for making this video !

All Nigeria needs is a good leader and job employment. That’s all naija is lacking.
@@richarddavid4897Not only in Nigeria, but the entire continent of Africa.
@@richarddavid4897 It also needs less corruption, basic infrastructure, and less violence.

@@nomahope3182 that is 100% truth, But we still need do sanitization of this imperialist countries that find ways into our continent
My family and I got permanent residency in Canada back in 2016 and it is true it is not worth it. My spouse and I hold PhDs in Health Services Management and Biomedical Research and were educated and trained in the UK. I was serving as a professor of Biology in my country at that time but Canada wanted me to start over at the bottom as well as my husband despite our proven track record of experience and credentials from accredited British universities. We opted to stay in our home country and today we are far better off and more accomplished at home than we would have been in Canada. The skilled migrant worker program offered by Canada is really for young persons under 30 without families, straight out of unoversity and who are not senior or established in their career. Most notably, we are minorities and felt that we were discriminated against when trying to acquire housing in a surbuban community in Canada and the same was experienced when registering our children for school. Honestly, we did not feel welcomed at all and opted to return home after 8 days in Canada.
So these professionals expected to find a job a house and😂 schooling for the kids in one week.

Very honest opinion. I have been to over 10 countries globally... When it comes to migration, you must approach it with clarity and objectivity.
Everyone must evaluate their personal circumstances before making this decision.

Great interview. Give any immigrant 3 to 5 years in Canada and 90% of us will turn it around and be more than content with the choice we made to move

He’s very right. Doctors flex in Nigeria but it’s not possible here in Canada for them. The more money you make, the bigger your tax.
So are nurses too 22 hrs on your feet, too much taxes , over documentation, and for the racism he said it all
The days of "doctor flex in Nigeria" ended 10years ago
Doctors are grossly underpaid in Nigeria.
Don’t just call out stuff. Bring numbers let’s see
A doctor making 10k a month 4k taxes taken our monthly. Bringing home 6k is that not good money.
See many people sometimes have poor financial planning.
Someone making 6k buys a big house and a very expensive car would end up with nothing every month.

@@chacha.S11👈 This black moron who’s barking in this video is selfish and ungrateful. If he was so rich in Nigeria with big houses multiple cars with drivers and all the other fake talks then why the F is he still clinging onto Canada. Just for 1 reason “citizenship”
Yeah so u shld struggle to get benefits whilst Nigeria is full of corruption n lot of poverty this is the only reason these blacks run away to other countries. Mostly blacks you’ll see in every country yet they will talk negatively abt the host country but shamelessly refuse to leave. Hope Canadian govt watches this video n kicks this black guy by deporting him back to his poverty stricken country. All ppl who talk against the host country shld be kicked out . Also the anchor whos an immigrant never bad mouthed abt Canada bcz he knows the consequences
Thank you for this video! It was great. Nice to hear him speak so frankly. This is so needed.
Everything he said is a fact.. but the longer you stay, the better you adapt into the system.. For me, the biggest challenge in the Diaspora is loneliness.. but I cushion this by travelling out every 3 months.. There is no bed of rosees anywhere 😊
One of the best remedies of feeling lonely for men is heading to the gym. You won’t regret it!
Fully agree. Loneliness is the only drawback for me. But living in Europe is ok for me

Nice work, Kaizabi. You hit jackpot with this video.
This give you an idea what people are looking to watch.
Find more successful Nigerian/African immigrants and interview them along the same lines.
Keep it up!
"For the sake of my children"...I used to say that and now I regret the day I brought them to this country. They came as Canadian citizens, but I truly felt like opportunities here would be better than back home. Having come from a place where people come in different shades of black, they were forced to become colour conscious, right of the bat (mainly from the East Indians, with this Brown ppl and Black ppl division). The indoctrination at school, the subpar elementary and secondary school system. Then came the social anxiety and depression; the panic attacks and other mental health issues that are RARE in our home countries. I watch them go from confident, outgoing children, full of potential, to just trying to survive. There is no enjoyment in life again. It's work to live. Live to work. We had a good life back home. This is one time in life I wish I could turn back the hands of time.
Thanks for your honesty. The indoctrination and devalued education system is real.
I pray you and your children overcome the challenges and thrive.
God bless you.❤❤
The effect of racism on people of color is horrid.
I was 19 when i moved to canada and i would agree with you
I came back to nigeria 🇳🇬 and i was happy
Although now I would still go back to canada but would i would be more strategic as i am now wiser ❤
Thank you so much for your honesty. The younger African children go through a hard time trying to get accepted. It takes a toll on their mental health. Some of the effects are permanent. I prefer Nigeria for younger children. They can live in Canada when they are mature and more confident.

Hello 👋, my friend how was your day
This video serves as a valuable eye-opener to the realities of life in the diaspora. It's crucial that we share these experiences not to discourage those back home, but to create a bridge of understanding. Living abroad presents its own set of challenges, and it's important for us to acknowledge them. Let's use this awareness to foster empathy, support, and unity among all of us, no matter where we are in the world. 🌍🤝 #DiasporaInsights #UnityInChallenges
Thank you! It’s the understanding that counts, when people here can truthfully give their experiences and not being criticised for it too, or not being accused of not wanting anyone else to come over. Or being told “Why don’t you come back” etc
Well said.
Why not address the issues in your home country and work towards fixing it?
@@notoriousj_ Thank you for your perspective. It's essential to work towards positive change in our home countries, and many of us in the diaspora are actively involved in various initiatives to do just that. However, living abroad also presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. By sharing our experiences and challenges here, we aim to foster a deeper understanding between those back home and those in the diaspora. This can lead to collaborations, investments, and support that benefit our home countries as well. It's not an 'either-or' situation; rather, it's about building bridges and creating positive change both here and back home. 🌍🤝 #UnityInAction
@@kelvinPHIRI If you are concerned about you home county you will not be happy because you have chosen not to integrate but simply see Canada as a place to be mined. The resentment that immigrants may encounter is due to this attitude. You either become one of us, whereby your loyalty is to Canada not your country of origin or you're a fake paper "Canadian". Your efforts should be directed at improving life in Canada for all Canadians, not just your specific group within Canada much less on your country of origin.
He is spot on
Most of us came because of family.
My family has been in Canada for the past 9 years, I was visiting 2x a year, had an awesome job back home in Nigeria.
I had to make the tough call to join my family because I was losing them, especially my kids. Having experienced love, growing up in a loving family, and with the passing away of my Father, I took the leap of faith.
God has been faithful though, yes, the system takes back all you've worked for.
At the end of the day, it's all about the kids 😊
Only God determines which kids will do well in life; not Canada.
@@Moabayi-yf6ul There is always the God factor, but if you don't put in the work, create the right environment, then you probably would not to get it right. Because you might as well be a deadbeat dad/mum and allow God do your work.
Didn't you read in scriptures that we should "TRAIN ( personal responsibility) up a child in the way they'll go, so that when they grow old, they won't depart from it"
If you came for the country, then the country's definitely better than home.
Same been in America for over 10 years, money is not a problem but the culture and the lifestyle so difficult, u have money but no happiness, am relocating soon to Africa
As a man of color, I sympathize with this. You have inspired me to go back to India and start a new life. #kaizabi

I rate it! Two brothers from a different race linking up to compare notes
It was an eye opening conversation
@@kaizabi AFRICANS always WANT MASTERS DEGREES.
I live in western Canada 🇨🇦 too what nagrian brother saying is true but at the same time from where I came from east Africa is lots off conflict war over war no peace ☮️ i enjoy my peace at list in canada and the ppl here are nice polite I can drive from west east north south no one bother me but back home I can’t even walk from my house to the grocery store in peace so I choose living in canada compering to my back eritrea 🇪🇷
The people in Canada have peace because they chose it. If your people back home choose peace too, peace will be there.
Sudanese are the problem nobody will build your home unless u build it
It's the same is west Cameroon. The first condition for enjoying a good a good life is to actually just live.
thats true. Peace is powerful.
What an eye-opening interview! Looking at what has become of Canada, its absolutely fascinating. Back in the late 80's and 90's, the country was viewed as close to Utopia as you can get and preferred compared to the US. This is nuts.
Best video I have seen all day, thank you guys for such a wonderful video.
Much love sir. Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned as I have a lot of exciting ideas planned.
This Nigerian guy is very intelligent
Too intelligent.
Hes a medical doctor, of course hes smart.
He's a consultant psychiatrist. Of course he is.
Dey play , why has he refused to do his master's in Nigeria ? Do you know there are institutions in Nigeria where you can do your masters?? Why did he choose to do his master's in Canada ???
Even if there's fire raining in Canada, we all shall continue to apply for the visa bros
@@shofelablessingemmanuel9478lolz. Your fire part got me
He speaks my mind. I just prefer to be a tourist in those countries. Naija all the way 🙌
Mr peter made me subscribe because he spoke for me and maybe everyone. He's very amazing and thank you for giving him a hug
Giving him a hug was a privilege
I felt everything this brother said. his experience is valid
Great interview 👌👌 thanks for sharing
Thanks for listening
I'm eyeing you Anita
thank you for sharing, this video was very humbling
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very insightful, thanks 🙏🏾
Fantastic video. We need him again for later videos. Cheers
We shall do a 2nd interview
I used to live in Turkey 🇹🇷, I saw so many Canada and US citizens living in Turkey. When I asked them why they left Canada , they said that they can’t live in Canada that life is not in Canada . They’re well educated while living in Canada but left because of high cost of tax and livin. They told me that Turkey is cheaper also rent in turkey is way cheap even living in a better apartment close to sea with big rooms.
Well said and 100% on point. As an African in management or supervisory roles, expect to work 3x more to be recognized or seen as competent. It's like they doubt and under rate your abilities
They do the same thing to me as a christian man living in Canada my whole life.
Wish you my best on your relocation.
@@DylanM333😅😅😅😅Christian man, is that supposed to mean something? Its like you expect people to treat you differently just because you are Christian
@@melmel7011 You mock but your knees will bow and your tongue will confess on Judgment day.
@@melmel7011 no they meant that the expectation is the same for everyone in Canada, both for locals and the immigrants. If someone's paying you for your work, you better work and not do anything unrelated during that time.
Awesome interview 👏🏾 🙌🏾
Dr Peter is an eloquent Gentleman and Teacher.
Those are genuinely honest words from a genuinely honest person. You’re right, Canada is certainly a mirage! Thank you for creating this video.
Dr Peter is a top talent. Canada has attracted great people. He's valuable to the community
U mean there's no indigenous people in Canada who could have done this?
@@hlengiwemasondo2858
The population in Canada is growing and the Canadian people will not be able to cater for everyone
@@hlengiwemasondo2858 Perhaps there are. Considering that they have educational opportunities that are not available to other Canadians, why not? Let them come forward. Let them overcome systemic racism with the same resilience and strength that Africans and Indians do. We have been held back for so long, yet we are emerging, and continue to emerge, despite the barriers.
@@Khangel fix your country and stop bothering other people that's the solution
Great video man, short and to the point
Finally an honest opinion from a qualified and intelligent immigrant . Hugs from Colombia and many thanks for this video.
What a video! ❤🇳🇬
I appreciate you
He said it all! Don't be deceived.
so how come he still there?
He said if you are stable back home don't come to Canada. Isn't that logical?
He is BULLSHITTER.
@peterkamakia7284 You need a proper education to understand simple English. The one you got was a waste of money 🥰
@@kinara5365 But he was very stable back home. Let him come back
Really really great conversation. ❤
Really glad you enjoyed
Very educative and truthful..
I was an immigration consultant up until this June 2023. I stopped as I don’t believe in our immigration system anymore. It is not representative and how the government shows itself to be. I would always question skilled workers that have a great life in their country. I cared more about my clients than taking their money. I guess I don’t fit the mold as the majority of consultants will Try to get as much money from you as possible. Good video
Hi, would this assessment cut across board for all immigrants or are there certain professionals like doctors (who actually get jobs) that seem to be well off..... I'm just asking for your informed opinion
@@akinbiyieri4664 The gentleman who was interviewed said he is a well established Consultant Psychiatrist. What he said cuts across board and resonates with me having been in diaspora for 20years.
@@akinbiyieri4664young, unmarried, single doctors can benefit.
You start from the bottom in Canada.
Thanks for your honesty. May I please ask. Is it possible to immigrate to Canada on a Temporary Resident Visa?
My husband is 40 and a high skilled Devop Expert?
I am forced to comment on his first response about working for what you are being paid for. Here in Nigeria workers are already used to liaise affair attitude towards their jobs, they really don’t like to do much with their jobs but they want to be paid. Most workers even closes from work before the actual closing time and they are used to always asking for tips for jobs they are being paid for.
If you set your goals in Canada, chances are better here than any other country as of now.
People come here and jump into their communities and start competing with each other.
They buy cars they can't afford, houses they can't affird, go on lavish vacations they cab't afford, engage in usless degree programs they can't afford just to post it on social media.
Yes Canada has become expensive just like most countries around the world but focus and strategy will get you financially stable.
I came here in 2006 with no papers, worked at a recycling plant until 2018 making $25 per hour, studied the industry and opened mine in 2019 with 8 workers and revenues in the millions.
From the horses mouth...
This was exactly my experience in China. The country has everything you can imagine to make life easier but the society is robotic and cold (and I'm not talking about the weather)
China itself is a racist country so I’m it surprised. Their own government doesn’t even care about its people so foreigners there unless they white are seen as bad
China, Japan, and Korea are far more racist against foreigners than Canada or the USA. It gets worse as your skin gets darker. Sad, but true...
I want to go to china for a while
@@babygurlll968 Please do. You'll love it there 💖
I noticed that too. But its much nicer in the countryside outside of those gigantic inorganic metropolis
Dr peter is clearly intelligent and honest. So many Canadians will surely not agree with him but so what? some may say," then why not go back to your country, Why stick around?"
Not so easy dudes.
He has to reap from where he has given so much to. As far as I'm concerned, there are so many canadians elsewhere expecially in the oil rich middle eastern countries and they are reaping the benefit of those countries.
Would it be wrong if someone does same in canada?
I wish Dr peter could also spread his tentacles to any of the middle eastern countries of his choice, after solidifying his stronghold on canada. The globe is fast becoming both an inter and intra national economic hub. Every right thinking person needs to take avantage of this. Visa restrictions needs to be limited extensively. In Africa we have so many canadian investors and expatriates enjoying the benefits of their host countries and why not? Are we not all citizens of the earth?
So much for biases, prejudice, bigotry, racism and discriminations in western countries. It's only a matter time though.
Fact the same people who are already angry with what he is saying am sure are struggling to pay their rents or mortgages, they are living from pay check to pay check, but that is what the country does to us, you can't speak truth you disagree with the person but deep down you know it is truth
@@meldawilliams1636 Drug addictions, loneliness, backward racist Canadians, expensive housing, homelessness etc… Canada ain’t worth it. I’ve spent so much money here, I should have used that money to open a business in Africa instead. Now I’m going back to Africa broke with no teeth.
I’m sorry to hear about ur awful experience. Racism is not an easy thing to deal with.
Good for us, we got Africa to run back to, we got home. Most Canadians are just stuck where they are.
Just wondering, why don’t u have teeth?

Great interview!
Dr. Peter figured it out quick. Smart guy.
Good video well recommended for those who have listening hearts. God blessings to all diasporas we shall not regret life but have reasons to believe God will come through for us .Amen 🙏
Absolutely. Thanks for stopping by.
Loving the content bro! Keep it up
Thank you so much brother
@@kaizabiTru to make more of this content please brother!
You are an amazing dude.
Living in developed countries especially bigger cities has become a nightmare. Be it new york, toronto, dublin, berlin, auckland and so on...earlier buying was harder...now renting too has become lot harder...
Dr P! A strong man indeed.
Please don’t mind stupid comment ! Keep educating !! Those who dont want to learn to make an informative decision it’s their choice!!

Fantastic interview!
Glad you enjoyed it Dr. Kenji. More coming up sir.
Thank you for this
I left Canada last year for these same reasons. Enjoying the best of life in Nigeria now. Life is too short to stay depressed and heavily billed in Canada. Most Canadians are leaving from paycheck to paycheck. Life is slow paced and easier here in Nigeria. Bye bye to Canadians bills, crazy mortgage and skyrocketing food prices.
I'm glad things are working out for you. All the best to your future and thanks for stopping by my channel
Which work are you doing in Nigeria?
@@josefelfinito6925many have threaded the same way ,I know of a couple that returned to Ghana after years in UK and another to Gambia after years in US because of Wode Maya's video and started making RUclips videos of how Africa is the best to live in ,after like 2 years majority have deleted all those African Videos and relocated back .
ruclips.net/video/EB7zy0MaP-U/видео.htmlsi=Bowp8zjjsF98j49L
So everyone is happy in naija and not depressed ? Life in naija is cheap ? School fees, fuel prices for car & gen, food, transport, etc ?
People are not living hand to mouth in naija, which is experiencing extreme poverty ? Sis, everything negative you wrote about Canada, People in naija are experiencing it times 10. Except with no infrastructure.
If you have a good job and a stable income back home, there is no need to travel overseas. There are very good intl schools in Nigeria and elsewhere to send your kids to if you can pay their fees. However, if you don’t have a good job , relocate to Canada 🇨🇦, US , Europe or Asia if you see an opportunity. It is rewarding to work in Saudi Arabia, China or Japan as a foreigner.
Working in any gulf countries is nothing, cheap labor will set you back from making money. Am a witness,
Very true, as someone in Saudi Arabia, I can also witness
@@muduwachristine8340 witness wat exactly, a rewarding jobs or the cheap labor (poor salary)
Many don’t even have a factory work with a lot of master degree that’s the issue
@@eksodassyes
I watched this video on instagram, and now, on youtube,may God bless.nice interview
This guy is Super Duper Intelligent
This is what I call Knowledge ❤
I find he’s Assessment and comparison funny. Especially because I personally consider the Nigerian work culture as “lax” except you work for a foreign company in Nigeria which exposes you to the fast paced work culture in Western countries like Canada. Those of us who work for foreign tech companies will understand what I am saying. My Nigerian doctor brother will get used to it soon. Now you’re REALLY working, unlike what most workers do in Nigeria. Where time is not accounted for.
This gentleman is smart, articulate with his analysis of the situation.
I echo his comments. If I am doing well in my country I wouldn’t leave- especially Africans and the African Diaspora. I see the horrific atrocities committed against the Africans crossing these borders to get into Europe. It is sad to the point where I said before I leave my country I would rather eat from my land than to come and be dehumanized.
Bless your soul for your honesty and for exposing canada for what it is.
Great video!!!
Canada has been ridiculously good to me and for me, even as I appreciate that this is not the average experience. I came here 36 years ago, when there were jobs looking for people, and not the other way around. Back then we had the choice to skill up some more or go in full force in careers, which worked for many of us. I can see how tough it would be for new immigrants now, especially professionals who were already established back in Africa not wanting to get re-validated in order to practice here. That is a journey best played out by new engineers, doctors and other crucial professions where they have time on their side and not feel like they are giving up much to start from scratch. Canada is great but each person has to weigh their reason for wanting to be here. If the scales tip this way, then one has to fully commit to the move to make it work. Otherwise, truly look to make that success happen wherever you are ..... Africa, Asia or Australia. It IS possible!
If you said UK instead of canada this would've been top comment
@@ronloc3309 maybe give me a bit more to go with that statement? ….
@@tifu678 it’s not that deep. It’s just that the majority of the internet praises the uk like it’s a utopia or something
@@ronloc3309 U.K. as a utopia? Good one, but no. I have family who moved there while I came to Canada. Even by their standards, life in UK does not compare to Canada in so many levels. Not saying Canada is perfect. Nowhere is!
@@tifu678 and i agree
It's simple, if you're well established or okay back home, stay there. Only come for vacation but if not, relocate and plan for your future. As for me, I'm happy to be in Canada. Thank you Canada and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
