All this talk is not new. The only time there won't be complaints from Alberta is when you have a Conservatives government with less regulations and over reach. If a referendum happens today, the probability of Alberta voting to exit Canada will be very low. Albertans love the public health care system, which is not the case in the US.

That chart shows the importance of having a well managed resource sector. Oil and gas investment is the major driver of it. https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/13ab3f73-6e4e-4aac-b56b-bff38800aa65/resource/3c029971-1171-470c-8576-144d1ccc7dd3//4170759-2011-07-economic-spotlight-2011-07-08.pdf

Alberta has been a positive net contribution to Canada because of high per capita income and profitable oil and gas company. If you do the same chart for individuals, you will see that very few make positive net contribution to the country. Should those people say they want to exit the country?



The whites are indigenous to the UK. In Alberta they are not. This is not the same. Even if you convince the indigenous nations to leave Canada, how will Alberta get their oil to water for shipment ? You can't get your oil to water as a Canadian province, but somehow you can do it as a foreign country ? Lastly in Canada Albertans are conservatives. In America they are more Liberal than the democratic party. Universal Healthcare ? Tough gun laws ? Etc. Puerto Rico would get statehood before them.

There are MANY Nigerians who grew up in Nigeria and moved back full-time. They are not politicians before you come up with that angle. You think everyone is going to live in the abroad till they kpeme? So what about those who have family businesses? when you stated you haven't encountered a Nigerian-to-Nigerian wedding ceremony in Canada until Ednut refuted your claim. Please stop judging scenarios from your experiences alone. Please ask questions when you aren't too sure.

Nothing concerns me with owning a property in Nigeria. My mom already did that.

Afternoon sir. Ednut did not refute any claim. He stated his reality based on his life experience, Just like I did. He could be lying for all we know. It is the internet. He could also make the same arguments about me.

But to answer your question. Nigeria is definitely a grave site for people in the diaspora. In this economy, unless you're on ground full-time, that family business is most definitely being looted. But if it doesn't fit one's narrative, I'll be labeled as not being sure. I wish we can get reliable Data on this. You haven't even given a definition on what going back full-time is. But based on my experience, the older uncles who bragged about going back. You couldn't pay them enough to go back. The most they'll do is leaving money aside to be buried back home. My 2 cents

This is one major issue I have with living in Nigeria. But then, many diasporans will move back. Nothing beats a familiar environment, Ms Maternal.

I can't think of a Nigerian who grew up in Nigeria, that moved back full-time. 99% of the time it's all talk. The downgrade of the quality of life is too great. Then again, what's your definition of moving back ? Building a house in the village only to comeback 2 weeks out of the year isn't coming back. The poverty is so great, that it's not a familiar environment anymore. It's actually sad and heart breaking.

Sometimes it is not about the age, but the destination.

A Nigerian man moving to Ghana will not experience much cultural differences, and will easily blend from day one.

But to lets say Canada or Norway? Even if you have the best job and earn good, it will be akin to giving up a part of yourself that is inalienable.

To be far from families and all the conveniences you know, the cold, isolation, unending bills, and not feeling like one, these are challenges that cant be escaped from even if you earn alot.

For naija your family are usually your worse enemy. And there's no unending bills in Africa ? I'd take a functional society over all those things. What's the point feeling like one, when light no dey ?

I when I challenged you regarding the bold in one of the migration threads that graced the FP. Looking back, I feel so bad for it, and I apologise. Ignorance no good. I am glad I am even young in the game. Anything above 35 will be hard for the person to integrate and truly enjoy the experience. For those who are in that age range, they should focus squarely on what took them there, say raising money or getting the education/experience. As for insecurity, there are nearby West African countries that are safer than Nigeria. This is one of the major reasons I push/wish/want prosperous and functioning Black dominated countries.

Nothing beats being in a place where the majority look like you, speak like you, eat like you et al. The adventure I have in has been good, but the long term will be living in a place where the majority look like me and contributing my quota to societal development using what I have learnt here.

With all due respect, you were living in a place where you were the majority. Why did you leave ? Let's not forget why we left our majority black countries.

The bigger problem is a vote for this Mark Carney and his pro-climate, anti-pipeline stance will lead to voters frustration in Alberta leading to deepened independence agitation in that province.
Alberta is one of the few provinces immune to the Trumps tariff war and the last thing we need is allow electoral dissatisfaction become a thing in the province. Recent poll shows majority of Albertans are very open to leaving Canada and the Alberta Premier has said she wouldn't oppose any call for referendum if the voters demand for it.

We can avoid all this by voting common sense. Vote Pierre Poilievre

Please post this poll, or where you got the info, that the majority of Albertans want to leave Canada. Do people even know the logistics of what's involved to accomplish that ? Then the US needs to vote them in. The Republicans consider Albertans Liberals. It won't happen.

If Albertan somehow becomes a nation, what makes you think Trump won't slap Tarrifs on the nation ? It looks like the Liberals will win. An unreal 180. PP inability to pivot, and Danielle inability to keep quiet and not rock the boat caused this. Canada is a diverse nation, and not everything is about oil. Nobody outside of Alberta is buying the separation threat. Its better each province and territory works together. Energy projects will be more favored now. Canada's economy independence and prosperity depends on it.

You mean to tell me you don't know a single Nigerian man who holds PR at least, that is married to a Nigerian woman who already resides in Canada? shocked shocked

Truth is: Nigerians will marry themselves. Who wan marry us before? Nigeriens? Liberians? Indians? We would marry ourselves.

Only my cousin in Texas. It's actually a she. She demanded the now husband get his green card before talking to her. She's the only person I know who did it. I know some guys in Canada who did it for "alternative reasons" but they don't count. But for a legit marriage ? Haven't seen one in my generation. I also was thinking hard before replying.

I've been discussing this issue for years. It's very complex. It's not black and white. My direct family is part of this conversation. But I'll keep certain explanation to myself. People here will accuse me of being bitter and angry if they don't agree with my life experiences. Lastly, naija men abroad are in extremely high demand. Thanks to the burna boys shipping the "culture" and music abroad. Then Nollywood of course. Being with a naija man is the thing to do if you're a black woman nowadays

This is a fact I hope many of our men who run their mouths on social about being #TeamForeignWomen realise. Humans are tribal and would always prefer to marry their kinds. I think a major part of the ignorance stems from those in Nigeria who believe it is that easy for someone who spent at least 25 years in a particular society to quickly move on to marry someone from a different race and cultural upbringing. Even for the same race, but different cultural upbringing, it is hard let alone a different race.

As you stated, since the numbers have ballooned over the years, marrying one's kind is easier compared to those who live in countries with few black people.

In summary, humans are tribal.


Not surprised. It is usually harder for immigrant women to marry outside their race compared to immigrant men. Also, they have it tough since there is an existing Black British female population. So the competition for attraction is fierce. I wonder what it is like in Canada. Abi dem go marry Indians and create minii-Trinidads? shocked grin


They should embrace single-hood. No be everybody go marry. It is the new cultural dispensation.

I don't think I know one Nigeria man in Canada who married a Nigerian woman. Unless they were already married in naija before coming to Canada.

Just look at the oil/gas pipelines in Canada. Only one pipeline goes to the sea. While all the others go to the USA, Ontario is even tapping from the USA Leg.

Its time for government to stop all these green/climate change driven policies that blocks direct pipeline projects to places like Ontario/Quebec/the Artic . Trump has hit us below the belt 😪

What Trump did has been amazing. His threats has really sent Canada in the right direction, with regards to diversifying their economy. Unfortunately he paused the tariffs for now, which I knew he would. But kudos to Trump.

The goodnews is he doesn't have to cater for every interest group and he has intimated just that. He doesn't have to cater for climate change and environmentalist fanatics in order to develop the gas pipelines or to axe the carbon tax. He doesn't have to cater to woke and far left extremists inorder to laws against degenerate sexual tendencies. He doesn't have to cater to those who scream racism just because more cautious measures will have to be introduced to handle immigration. There's no saviour in this world who will bring an end to all suffering, Jesus ultimately is, and only to Him should we cast our hope for life without sorrow. However, there's hope for a betterment in some areas.


Politicians will say anything to get votes. You don't cater to X groups, they'll cause disturbance to get their voice heard. You want to build a pipeline to a certain location, well you may have to go through provinces which have autonomy. You do a policy which may not be popular, you still have the court system all the way to the Supreme Court to try to squash it. This is not black and white is my point. Only time will tell. The system is built to keep the PM power at bay. No dictatorship can strive in western political systems.

Common sense is far from the current Liberals. It is a pity that Harper didn't do half of what they had done before he was voted out. All economic indices are worse than when the current government took over. Trudeau promised us that the Budget would balance itself. He inherited a balanced Budget from Harper and never ran a balanced budget for 9 years in power. There is a huge difference when a country replaces an Economist Prime Minister with a Drama teacher.
[b]However, Canada does not export oil to the U.S. at a discount because of the Liberals and their environmental rubbish. [/b]Although Trudeau stopped the North Gateway pipeline, TC Energy (TransCanada) cancelled the Energy East pipeline due to opposition from Quebec and a lack of government . If those pipelines are in service, Alberta crudes will continue to trade at a discount to the U.S. crudes partly due to:
• Alberta produces mainly heavy crudes, which must be traded at a discount to U.S. light crudes to be competitive in the markets.
• If those pipelines were built, the total capacity of those pipelines would be less than the total export to the U.S. The clearing market for the crudes will remain the U.S. The clearing price for those crudes in Alberta will for the cost of transportation to the U.S.



The liberal government is like the black sheep of the family. Everyone is taking out their frustration on them. A lot of things regarding the oil industry are being blamed on the Liberals, unjustly so. I worked in northern Alberta for 6 years. Conservative voters shouldn't get their hopes up as absolutely nothing will change. Watch.

You can make a bunch of promises and talk tough throughout the campaign. But once you get into government and realize you have to cater to every interest groups as much as possible, then you have provincial autonomy which can delay or destroy a PM objective; you'll then understand how hard it is to please everyone. Personally, I know not much will change. Don't get your hopes up my people.

With the current threat from Trump of imposing tariff hikes on Canada, if this goes ahead, won't Canada potentially enter a recession? And with the Canadian currency falling now, isn't it a better time to start saving money in US dollars? It's unfortunate that, despite Canada's vast resources and population, its economy is so heavily dependent on the USA. Perhaps Trump has a point—if there is so much dependence on the USA, maybe it would be better for Canada to become a state of the United States!

They'd be a recession on both ends. The border states would especially suffer. Specifically the auto industry, where auto parts go back and forth about 7 times before the car is finished being built. So you'll charge tariffs each time a part crosses the border ? How much more would that car now cost ?

A lot of Canadian retirees who want to get away from the harsh winters go and live down south in places like Arizona, Florida, Texas, etc. Florida's economy would greatly suffer if not almost collapse without the influx of Canadians each winter. If the CDN dollar gets extremely weak, a lot would go to another warm destination, where they'd at least have decent purchasing power. Whereas, a lot of American companies would come up north as their operating costs would greatly reduce in Canada, as they operate in USD. That's why Hollywood films a lot of movies in Canada. Its cheaper for them as their movie budget is in USD.


The US has the world's biggest economy. It'd only make sense for Canada to tie their economy to the US. But it seems they'd be forced to finally diversify now. Other countries are watching this assault on Canada by Trump, and are implementing a diversify policy to not solely rely on the US market. This may hurt the US in the long run. But nonetheless, don't believe Trump nonsense. US citizens would also suffer, and they also need Canada. Both countries economy are integrated. If you shock the system, both countries would feel it, period.

He has finally done so after weeks of resignation rumours. Lower immigration is definitely going to be one of the eternal consequences of Trudeau (and possibly the liberal party) leaving power. It doesn't look very good for the Liberal party right now. Polls show they very likely will lose in the next elections, except the new party leader spins out some magic before October. It's crazy.
2018-2022 will forever remain the golden period for express entry for most Nigerians. 2018-2022 especially was that period where you could score 430-440 on CRS and still have some decent hope of getting ITA. Now, it has become more difficult with the need of having to learn French to have a real chance. From here, it is even more likely to get more difficult. While they may not stop express entry, chances are they are likely to make it more difficult. The pressures on job, housing and healthcare are showing that the immigration numbers need to come down significantly. Trudeau tried to play on that some months ago, but it didn't work. The conservatives are just going to jump on it to further cement public opinion in their favour.
Anybody that is still dreaming of the best option to PR right now from Nigeria should just go learn French asap and try get in before this time next year.

Immigration is hot and cold. When it's hot, you strike. I think it'll be cold for 5 years. Then it'll be back to the 2018 days. I've advised anyone with a PR who's eligible to apply for citizenship, should do so ASAP . They'll be anti immigration sentiments and narratives for the next few years, with this inevitably new government.

You always give advice based on your hatred for Nigeria, likely stemming from personal or family failures. You didn’t even ask this person about their job in the UK, their residency prospects, or quality of life. Instead, you dismissed both the UK and Nigeria without relevant questions.

Not everyone sees a country as just a port. For you, it seems all about the Canadian port and visa-free travel to 180 countries, ignoring whether people have the resources to even travel.

Well, I’m not surprised since you’ve even called your family vultures. People should focus on reasonable advice and ignore this bitterness.

You are very wicked. My "bitterness" for naija is also shared by Davido, Tayo, etc. Naija champion. Read and comprehend. Canada is this person's plan B. If Europe forces them to leave, they'll have to pick between naija or Canada. So what's there to discuss ? They're already doing their research and is planning. But if/when they come to Canada, if things doesn't pan out as expected, they'll change things around and will be forced to adapt.

I've given formulas on how to be successful in Canada, but bad Belle like you constantly dismiss it. Everyone wants to be prime Minister or CEO. My friend fear is just an illusion. I find it funny people in naija talk tough. "Naija no dey carry last", "I be naija person. I can hustle anywhere" . Then people get scared to come and hustle in a developed 1st world country.

I go to all these places on holidays since a toddler so it's no big deal to me. Truth be told, I have never loved any of those countries because of either their weather, their to much privacy, loss in family bond. I prefer going on holidays and back home, Nigeria. One of the countries I can't stand during winter is Canada even some Canadians relocate for a short period to other countries during winter, their aged ones do this a lot.

Bottom line, it's no big deal to me. Nigeria is a lot of fun. If you have family who were born in U.K or U.S.A you will notice that at most times, when the travel down to Nigeria they feel reluctant to go back.

Based on your advice, if a doctor or professional engineer ,ant etc arrives in Canada and cannot find a job, their best option is to Uber as a driver, then move on to becoming a professional driver or cleaner. You also suggest that seeking better career opportunities is considered "trying to impress people," according to your explanation.

Please stop spreading misinformation—there’s no way a cleaner will earn $100k unless they own their own company, have many contracts, and are managing a team. You can dislike your country or family, but don’t exaggerate your points.

To those just arriving, be careful about jumping into the Uber business with your life savings to buy a car. Please do some research—it’s no longer a viable full-time job. Don’t let anyone deceive you.

Comparing an Uber delivery driver in Toronto, whose wages barely cover their bills—as evidenced by the recent protests by uber drivers in the city—to a doctor in another country is simply unfair. I’ve followed your posts for a while, and in one of them, you even compared a floor cleaner in Canada earning more than a bank manager in Nigeria without even comparing the cost of living . It’s clear that your perspective is heavily influenced by your experience of living in abject poverty in Nigeria. However, arriving in Canada, working as an Uber driver, and living on minimum wage doesn’t give you the right to criticize others who came here with professional qualifications, striving for better career opportunities, even if they’ve faced challenges or disappointment along the way.

You’ve also shared in your posts that you come from a "wicked" family that sabotaged your business back home. While that’s unfortunate, not everyone shares those experiences. Many of us come from decent, ive families with different aspirations and expectations. Please stop projecting your childhood and adult trauma, pain, struggles, and the abject poverty you escaped onto every situation. Your past hardships shouldn’t become the standard by which you measure others’ success or ambitions in life.

Everyone’s journey is unique, and respecting that diversity is essential.

I'm simply telling people to look at the whole picture. Again, ignorance is not an excuse. If jumping from naija to Canada, why doesn't this person do the full research ? If they did, they'd know nothing is guaranteed anywhere you go, and there may be a chance you'll never practice X (insert profession) in Canada.

My friend let's stop playing games and be direct. A typical Nigerian coming to Canada for example, wants the big boy title, then the money. I'm saying nobody cares about the big boy title in Canada. Chase your objectives not your dreams. That objective is making money and having a better quality of life. The superior complex ingrained in a typical Nigerian is showing in this post.

That "floor cleaner" is a professional building service attendant. He earns 100k in Canada, lives in a better house than 99% of doctors in naija, holds a Canadian port, and when you compare cost of living; that doctor in naija is living in poverty compared to that "floor cleaner".

That Uber driver can package his skills and become a professional driver, while moving out of Toronto. He can work for the TTC or any municipal transit driver and make up to 100k per year with a government gold plated pension. But they'd never take that advice because they're too busy looking for a "Better career opportunities", aka trying to impress people who don't feed them or their family.

I don't understand how my family is part of this discussion, yet I'm projecting ? Not all your family are perfect sir. You can't migrate to Canada if you come from poverty. ive family with different aspirations and "expectations". Just say you're too insecure to work certain jobs because of what your family would think of you. Again I repeat, the same family that doesn't feed you here in Canada.

My past hardship has allowed me to put things in perspective at all times. Again I repeat. Ignorance is no longer an excuse with most people having access to the internet. And Canada owes you absolutely nothing. If you don't know how to hustle in Canada or you can't make it in Canada, just say so. Stop trying to blame the system. Nigerians never look at themselves in the mirror.

The PhDs, doctors, nurses they so called need are driving taxis.
The LMIA scams, TFWs driving down wages etc. Just like the US, Canadian immigration has missed some marks, it's ok to it it. Doesn't mean we're ungrateful to the system. It's the system we hope to see our kids and the young ones grow up in, it's alright to criticise it with the aim of improvement.

Now, what happens when a good majority who wish to climb up the ladder can't? Why is how terrible Nigeria is, always the benchmark for how much we should or shouldn't criticise here?

Stop it. The criticism stems from self entitlement. That's the problem. Canada, like every developed nation, gives you opportunities and the tools to achieve your objectives. Objectives and dreams are two different things. You're ready to compete in naija, but once you land in Canada you expect things to happen for you ?


Lastly we live in the information age. Ignorance is not an excuse anymore. You don't leave your home country if things are going well for you. Look at things as a whole. That taxi driver in Canada is making more money, and lives a better life than that doctor when he was back home. That doctor who just came abroad is still sitting there, crying that he was a doctor back home.

It all depend on your personal mindset or mental orientation. You see comical contradiction here, but I see caution and vigilance. I advocate that everywhere. There were 546,568 missing persons in the USA in 2022, and 609,275 in 2019. I hope you don't find that data comical?

I live in a neighborhood listed by Neighborhoodscout and other sources as one of the safest. I have had delivery items at my front door for up to 8 days and still met it there untouched. Yet, I lock my doors, I lock my cars, I have security cameras, alarms, and other measures for safety.

It is better to be prepared with useful information and not need it, than to need it and have nothing useful to leverage. Got it?


My friend, Nigeria is an unsafe S-hole. Who's reading all the nonsense you wrote. In America missing person, blah... blah... stop insulting yourself.

Your family not mine nor everyone else.
Families differs, okay.
If that's your family, then be smart.

If you die tomorrow, they'll look for someone else to beg. Don't fool yourself, they really only care about your money. But you can tell yourself whatever you want.
