Yes sir! Thanks for watching 🙂🙏🏾!
İsrail boktan ulke❤❤❤
nice video, you could delve deeper into finance for new immigrants.
Thanks for watching! And thanks for the suggestion. I will do that.
Beautifully said 🎉❤. I liked the ending part. " Did you study for your exam ? God will help you." 😂😂😂
Thank you, Sis! Yes o, may God always have mercy on them 🙂🙏🏾!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤. Thank you!
My name is die cola... and welcome to this side of life 😊... 🎉🎉
Yes o 🙂. My name is Diekola. Thanks so much for watching! Happy New Year!
very soft spoken matured woman.
Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
Thanks ma for your kind words and advice always. I appreciate you
You are welcome. I am glad that you find the content valuable. Thank you very much! Happy New Year!
There is so much wisdom to be learned in just 10 minutes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and intelligence with the world. Happy New Year
Thank you! Happy New Year to you and yours!
1. No one cares about your life like you do 2. Insurance is very important 3. Advocate for your own health 4. Man shall not live by bread alone 5. Soft skills will take you far
Thank you 🙏🏾 !
We thank God for keeping you from serious harm in that accident. Also thank you for your insightful topics, there is always a lesson to go with. May your wisdom never diminish. I wish you a very Happy New Year, good health, abundant grace and above all unwavering Mercies of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen! Thank you so much for coming along with me this year. I really appreciate you. A happy and blessed new year to you and your family!
I love your contents, how your talk and present your points
Thank you! I am very happy to have you on the channel.
Thank you for this video. Life insurance is a vital tool that can be used to created generational wealth. As a licensed financial professional, it's one thing that makes me sad. How our people ignore it based on the false belief that it means death! 😢There are different types of insurance including those that provide living benefits and cash accumulation that can be used while alive. 100% food is the main cause of overweight. I eat just enough to keep my body alive and healthy. Eating less is wisdom o! 😂❤❤
You are right. Our people believe that they are calling bad things upon themselves when they take out insurance, especially life insurance. Hopefully, more people will seek to become better informed. Thanks for watching!
Thank God for all the interesting and educative topics in year 2024. We look forward to much better ideas in 2025. Good job and more strength. Happy prosperous new year to you and all the viewers ❤
Thank you, ma! Thank you for being a loyal viewer🙂!❤️❤️❤️
That no 1🙌🙌🙌 I don’t like insurance because I always think if nothing happens then the money is a waste😂, please don’t blame me ma😂 The relationship that you build ❤❤❤ Very informative video ma.
We have the tendency to think that it's a waste of money but we have to weigh the risk of what could ho wrong with how much we would spend on insurance, so that we are not penny wise and pound foolish. Thanks for watching!
😃😃 Some of us are underweight. Thank you for the video. Its a nice one.
I think being underweight is an easier problem to solve 🙂. Thanks for watching!
Oh sorry about the accident.
Thank you!
Great lessons Sis, included some in my must do list asap 😃
That's great! Thanks for watching!
Canada needs less immigrants. Canada has lack of housing we’re are all thses Peoppe coming in going to live even Trudeau admitted they let to ma y people in Canada is not welcoming to immigrants anymore. No one wants to live outside of Ontario they all love to the same area. There are other places in Canada people don’t do there research when coming they only hears about Toronto and Vancouver . Try going to smaller towns. Canada is less welcoming know
👍
@@kboyg8978 Thank you!
thanks for the lessons...God bless
@@AblnyTechJohn. You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much your these very helpful videos that you share. If i could ask you a question, what are the cities with the lowest cost of living?
There are many factors to consider when looking at cost of living - your occupation , how much you can earn in the city , housing costs and other factors. Having said that, the provinces that have relatively lower cost of living are New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Quebec and Yukon. There is a lot of info out there about this, please also do your research based on your particular situation to come up with the location that's best for you. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
3:09 😮 Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt! Thank goodness also for your webcam because the guilty party sometimes denies liability until the camera evidence shows otherwise! Very best wishes for 2025!
@@adstix Thank you! Yes, the camera evidence definitely settled the matter. I wish you a happy and blessed 2025! Thanks for always watching!
Great job. As usual. More of His leading by His Holy Spirit.

How certain are you about eternity?No one can say for sure.

Amen! I really appreciate your feedback. Thank you very much! God bless you too🙏🏾
The end, banter with your son💪💪
Yes o, he says he studied for the exam🙂.. We can only pray that God's mercy continues to be upon them🙂. Merry Christmas to and a Happy New Year!🎄🎉 to you and your family. May 2025 bring us closer to God's purpose and plan for our lives. Thank you for watching!
@ thank you ma for the wishes, merry Christmas ma
I just love watching your videos, I like how you share your experience, and I get value from your video. Please ma, by 2026, are we going to continue hearing I have lived in Canada for over 25 years or should we expect to hear 27 years in the intro ma😂😂😂
Ginika! You know I appreciate you always watching! Thank you! The anniversary is Feb 🙂. So I am wondering whether to start saying over 26 years or wait until we hit a major milestone 🤔, which seems too far away. Stay tuned 😀
@@ThisSideOfLifeWisdom congrats ma in advance💪💪
Have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! 🎄 🎉
Merry Christmas to you too and a Happy New Year!🎄🎉 Thank you for watching!
the last part is the best gift for fathers like us to know that some people are still holding it down for these kids.😂😁😂.....may we all have Christ in our Christmas and the rest of the days. well done and God bless
Amen! Thanks, and Thanks for watching till the end!
Good to have people like you who are not ashamed of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Am happy to link up with your channel. Keep the job on.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. May we all be good ambassadors for Christ!
❤
Thank you!
If you listen to what people feel are your motives you wouldn't accomplish anything o! 😂 Just continue sharing what's laid on your heart. Those that will benefit will. May God continue to enlarge our coast to help more immigrants ❤❤❤ I love your content!
Very true. Thank you so much for always watching. I appreciate you!
Thanks for your great work. Your videos are always helpful and informative.
Thank you very much! I am glad you find the videos useful. I appreciate you watching!
Bad thing about Canada 🇨🇦 everybody gets snow ⛄️ unlike the US
We are trying to look on the bright side 🙂. Thanks for watching!
These videos have been both informative and enlightening, and I love the fact that you don't impose your opinion on the listeners. Everyone has the prerogative to decide what to do with what they hear.
Thank you, jare, my Sis. I appreciate you watching.
People will always have their opinions. Keep doing your thing abeg.
I hear you. I appreciate you. Thank you for watching!
I have live in California for 25 years. I was born and rised in the USA on the east coast. But just move across country I needed help. You give advise to people moving from one country to another. Which is twice as hard. I have followed your advise about building credit and it is working and I am praying to God the father and Jesus his son for help.
I am happy that you find the content useful. I wish you the very best and God's blessings on your move. Thank you for watching!
I chanced on your channel quite recently and might not have watched all your videos. However, based on the few videos I have watched, I think you present a balanced discussion on many sensitive immigration topics. You explore aspects of immigrant lifestyle that are often overlooked, respecting the nuances and uniqueness of every individual's experience. Your approach of sharing your story and those of others without projecting your own biases is refreshing and insightful. I think your aim seems to be providing different perspectives rather than trying to tell people what to do with their personal lives - which of course is the style of many UA-camrs. I find your approach incredibly valuable. Thank you for your thoughtful content. Merry Christmas.
I really appreciate your feedback. I am happy that you find the content valuable. You are right about providing different perspectives to provoke people to consider their options and make the right decisions for themselves. Merry christmas to you and yours. Thank you so much for watching!
Answering your question:You decided to inspire inform and encourage! Thank you for your great work ❤
You are correct! Thank you very much!
Your perspective is always valuable and your style is unique. I think you’re very kind for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. God bless you!
I appreciate the feedback, and I am very happy you find the content useful. Thanks so much for watching!
Yours is very different from all other UA-cam videos/content - starting from "hello everyone", which is more respectful, than the vexatious "hi guyyyysss" band wagon. Secondly, yours is a more matured content, short, straight to the point and genuine, without any embellishments. Please keep it up. We are learning a great deal from you and your experience, especially how not to fall to the trap of the CRA. But wait, what's that side eye with the "did you pass your exam"😂 aren't you expecting him to pass ni😂. Typical African mothers...forming hard to get, yet they're the ones that love their children the most😂 😂
You noticed the side eye😁. Yes, o, these children need to be kept on their toes! I really appreciate your feedback. It keeps me going. Thank you very much!
Did you look at any African countries, and if not? Why?
Great question! No, we did not. And I can't point to a reason. Even till now, the only other African country I have been to is Ghana and that was only because we had to go there to get our visas for Canada, Not sure about now, but back then there was no culture of travelling to other African countries , we didn't even travel within Nigeria extensively either, which is a sad commentary on Africans and our travel culture. This sounds like a video topic. Thanks for watching! I appreciate your insight.
Hello ma'am, how about Leduc, Alberta
Leduc is not a village o. It is like a suburb of Edmonton, the capital of Alberta. It is a city 🙂. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@@ThisSideOfLifeWisdom Good to know, Thank you
Ma'am what is the possibility of securing a one bedroom apartment near Leduc Community hospital from outside Canada as I will be moving there early next year
@dimmauche1298 It should be possible. Check rentfaster. if you have someone on ground who knows the area well would also help. I live in Calgary. All the best with your move.
U won't realize but u've inspired me so much. Thank u.
I am so happy to hear that, and I appreciate you watching! 🙏🏾
