I was watching you on tv and decided to check my phone to comment. This is my first time of coming across your videos. Babe, your analysis is 100%. TRUTH.All what I heard from jobs to weather to divorce to loneliness to LGBTQ to everything is all false. Social media is something else, I had this fear when I was coming few years back. People tend to discourage others from coming. Thanks for saying the truth about Canada. Best experience and decision I made so far. Life is what you make of it and that is it. I pray Alberta favours you. I am in Alberta too. God bless you.
Same sentiments for me, I’m so glad to get your honest feedback, this is encouraging. Truth is you determine how you will live anywhere you find yourself..All the best!
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me.
Abroad is what you make of it. The first thing you do when you relocate abroad is to integrate. There are lots of things to see and do especially for the kids. Going out of your comfort zone is the key.
I can’t stress this enough! What gets to me is when I hear marriages are difficult to maintain in the west 😂😂! If anything the west provides everything to make your marriage fun, intimate and enjoyable… WHEN YOU BOTH DECIDE TO STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND TRY NEW THINGS!!! Not naija clubbing and nonsense owanbe where everyone is literally competing with themselves
And she came in fully loaded. There are hundreds of people struggling financially who may not be able to go to some of those places she mentioned. Everything is money here, as we know. So, it is not easy at all. 😊😊
Papa & mama will be so proud of you,money well “spent” on your education🙏🏽😀even I’m proud of you like my blood sister that is the way I always feel about you😀.
Exactly what I just stated also. Though me I’m mostly indoors mbok, enjoying my company 😅😅, if not for my husband sef, I for no Dey attend some events we go to 😂😊
Loneliness is self imposed cos people want to associate with their tribal kindred. Explore being friends with people from different cultures. It's enriching. In UK I only have maybe two/three Zim friends. The rest are Nigerians, West Indians, White British whom I go out for lunch with now and again. Most of them are teachers in London. In UK I had Malaysian friends/colleagues from whom I learnt how to cook the Chinese meals. I was involved in church activities so much that I ended up being asked to do flowers for celebrations and weddings. I'd attended a Saturday classes on flower arranging. I'd also done cake decorating on Monday evening classes. I made friends there cos of our common interests . Once in a while I would teach ladies flower arranging at church in London. Now am retired and I do flower arrangement for weddings when I'm in Zim. I go to about 3 exhibitions even outside London where I meet people of similar interests. The list is endless. No time to get bored. Stay blessed.
The boredom is more for people that are single. Also you'll still run out of places to go, you're still new and going to zoo.(Lol) Again, you'll still find out that going to Chinese restaurant or hangouts every time is quite expensive. (You may be loaded though) Even Canadians who have their grand parents born here are running away from Canada or migrate every fall, because of the boredom. Regarding jobs, before Covid there were jobs. After Covid, everything has gone to shambles because of bad leadership. Canada is not designed to make you rich. Its designed to give you stability. The only way you may attempt getting rich is through business. On the weather, people's cold threshold is different. People actually drop and die in severe weather, and the alerts for severe weather are often. Yes with good clothing you'll be fine, but some people do not have access to these good clothing, cars or proper heating at home. In a nutshell, only the rich and well prepared will land in Canada, and enjoy it. Again, you never see winter. For some 2 to 3 years now the winter has been mild. As for LGBT, it wont be in your face in Alberta. It is in our faces in Toronto. Alberta is very conservative. Alberta cannot give you a true impression of what life is like in Canada.
Why not consider moving to Alberta? You moved from your home Country because you wanted a greener pasture, you can still move. We keep trying till we are satisfied.
LGBT is not in your face in Toronto. Sure, you will more likely to see people in drag or makeup and such. But no one is pushing you to do anything. Most people mind their business.
Single people really get bored in the West, as opposed to those in families. You may not realise it, but that genuine interaction with your kids and husband makes you not feel lonely. It is really difficult to make friends abroad even among diaspora Africans, because most relationships are not genuine or everyone is busy and probably don't live close to you.
You and your husband had money you came with so it's easier for you. Had you come as a single person to get started with little or no money; schooling, working etc to get ahead, and also maybe trying to get your papers right, you will know what boredom is in a foreign country. I thank God for you. Enjoy!
You are correctly...coming to US..Canada..as. International student..is not easy..when will you have Time to go out when you have School fees..3500..dollars per semester..house rent...food..light.water bill..you still have to get Money for a small Car...
I like the optimism a perspective many would say this it's what is called honeymoon period review, would love a 2 year and 5 year update. The general downturn of the economy is what others are who may have stayed longer are reflecting. You raise many valid points from new eyes. Wish you the best.
Because she wants better for her children. When you have children in Nigeria, your perspective changes, especially with affordable good education. Good education is very expensive, especially tertiary education that is consistent and practical
Neze, your personality will always work for you. With your charm, warmth and happy -go- lucky spirit, you will always have happiness and fulfillment anywhere you go.
As someone who’s been here a while I can say this: 1. Loneliness is different for people who come here single vs married with their family. It’s not so easy to make friends at certain ages and depending on where you live, some people are not that friendly. Also, people tend to gravitate more towards families than single people especially within the Naija community. I always encourage people to sign up for activities at the community centers, join groups like Meetup where they can also meet other singles looking for community, and visit libraries and museums as there are activities that happen there as well. 2. Regarding the LGBT issue, Alberta is a quiet province though so it may not be prevalent there. Got to places in Ontario and Vancouver and you will see it blatantly in your face. 3. The issue of broken marriages is that a few people go out there with their own problems and project it on the whole society. Like you said, most marriages here are actually working because the society forces both the man and woman to plan and organize their family together. There’s no room for absentee fathers or mothers. Those who refuse to throw away bad behaviors from Naija are the ones that struggle the most. 4. With activities, I find most Africans and Nigerians tend to stay indoors a lot and then complain there are no activities. However, there are many things for people to do and then you go there and you’ll see maybe 1 or 2 black people. If it’s not an owambe or house party or joint-like scenario, they will mostly not be interested. 5. With the weather, it depends on where you are. Some places have constant terrible weather in January & February while places like Alberta enjoy the Chinook phenomenon. Also, the transport system is different in places so your experience with the cold and transportation will differ depending on where you are. Canadians immigrants mainly warn about the cold so that people come prepared for it.
I think it’s loneliness not boredom. You can do many things yourself to prevent boredom, but loneliness can be difficult and yes it’s easier for Neze because she has family. But better believe even those in cities are even more lonely. In the village at least you see the neighbours in the garden when its good weather
Neze, thank you for giving a reasoned and factual perspective, as you always do. The judiciousness that your legal training has given you is shining through. God bless!
On Career progression this might help someone: Here in Canada you need to, in a sense, apply for promotion within an organization. And show with metrics and certifications that you are qualified for the next level. So it's not a given or based on no of years in a company or based solely on your performance review. That's why it's common to see people in the same position for years. And on the cold weather I totally agree it's cold but there are right clothings and heating systems to cope with the cold; even though the weather has been pretty good this winter compared to other years.
Everybody with the grace they carry, some people travel and suffer while others don't do much abroad but will buy house within a year, all of us are coming from different family background and it only by the grace of God through his favour
You moved with your husband and children that's why your social situation is a lot better than most. Loneliness is real for most immigrants in the west.
Remember, there's climate change and global warming, I'm in the US, and winter in the northeast of US could be scary in the last 5 yrs and Canada is colder. On divorce, check statistics and depend on your job that you'll get to know the reality of that. It's your personal opinion as you've said, others too may have their experiences/opinion at different times.
Believe social media at your own risk! I used to believe that abroad, especially Canada's winter is freaking horrible until i got to Canada. I am not mobile yet, but i calculate when to leave the house to bus station. I don't feel bored, i create fun for myself, but i have seen people kissed on bus😮. In all, Canada is good, i haven't missed Nigeria since I left.
My own perspective you have to plan your own happieness go places take your family out but the problem with some of us is all about looking for the dollar dollar
In your case you are blessed and planned your relocation extremely well❤❤. Most of those people complaining of boredom and loneliness relocated alone without family nor car and are not self-employed; they have to combine several jobs sometimes.
My first comment on your UA-cam channel. Just wanted to say that I enjoy your vlog. I have lived in the US , California to be specific for 35 years. I agree with all your experiences in Canada. However, I will say that there are opportunities for growth in jobs here in the US as well as Canada. You just need to be outstanding in what you do and take advantage of internal promotion exams or additional trainings. Again, I am your fan. I will happily host you if you come to the US😊
Thanks for sharing ur experience,, you must be rich and that's why u can put on ur heater through out the day and try and check other provinces too it's not same as where you reside❤
Good points. Given that these are your personal experience, then it's okay. However, 7months is too early to make certain calls. Your ideology might change after few years living in the country or if you open your self more to other nationalities both locally and internationally. And also once you start working in the system. But it's good you have approached it with a open mind. Having a family is great and you don't feel lost, unlike singles
7 months is not too early to give a "7 MONTH UPDATE " Matter of factly, thats the perfect time. when its 10 years, Ild give a 10 YEAR UPDATE... tnks fr watching darling!
😂😂😂😂maybe they are staying inside, inside,where there are nobody that looks like them 😂😂😂 neze, you too like vawulence.. Boredom is relative. Thank you for giving hope jare.
Thanks for sharing dear Neze. It will be great to hear from you as time goes on to see if your perception changes. I live in the UK presently and the idea in those days is that Nigerians and other people from ethnic minority only have menial jobs and don't get to do proper jobs plus that we al live in council property but the reality is that any one can aspire to achieve whatever they put their mind to do and people own their own houses, cars, jobs, businesses...re train, get promoted etc ...of course they are still those looking for shortcuts ...hard work pays...people hustle legitimately and are doing well.
Hey Nezepepe!Thanks for sharing! A quick one about jobs,I think sport has been ignored&it's also one of the professions on demand.I have friends who have got their coaching badges&great coaching/management skills in basketball, personal trainers &soccer;they need experienced people from Africa. Gofldbless you &your beautiful family🙏🤗
For me, when i joined my husband with our son, and later, i gave birth to our daughter. i never had that feeling of being lonely. That's the honest truth, because it i my husband and 2 kids family of 4, but unfortunately my husband passed away from colon cancer last year and i can now say it has been lonely and boring i will say. Most of the time, it is just me and my 5 years doing things to comfort each other. My son is 15 years old, and most of the time his in the basement playing video games or out for soccer practice so i can feel the pain of people saying about Canada being lonely. When my husband passed away, if it was african, you would have people staying with you, but here everyone is working, so it was just me and my kids. People come and go. by the look of things you have a big family so obviously you won't feel lonely. For the cold aspect, we thank God all over Canada. Winter is better last year and this year and also depends on the province you stay. Im happy you're enjoying your stay in Canada.
I highly recommend immigrants to open up there mind to change careers or go back to school to get a Canadian degree or even get some professional licensing. In as much as I believe it may not be easy at the beginning for some people, but career growth and promotions comes with being more intentional and smart.
Hi Neze, I love your videos...they are always interesting and captivating. Just wanted to say something, I live in the United Kingdom and I have been here for 20 odd years; did my university studies here -- both undergrad and post. One thing I can say about migrating to the Western World is that it takes a good amount of time to integrate properly. So, getting a good job especially when you're coming from a developing country can be a bit iffy if you're not in the medical line: medicine, nursing, etc, or even IT. But it does help to get a job no matter how small it may seem, but as time goes on, the big job will definitely come especially if the person has the experience in the field they're trying to get into. It's all about patience! patience!! and patience!!
You are doing well! I spent most of my life abroad but have moved around quite a bit up until the past couple years. Abroad is what you make of it. We are in the US, and it’s really about forming your own community and circle. I think that’s what ppl say when they say they are lonely. Knowing there are people around who can come through for you, if it’s midnight and your child is sick, or you need help. Also it’s diff moving with a family versus single.
I think Alberta is very conservative compared to Ontario and BC. Glad your experience so far is positive and you are still enjoying the newness of everything. With respect to the job crisis, trust of everywhere in Canada. There is not much jobs there.
I enjoy watching your vlogs and story telling, I have lived in UK for over 25 years it is what you make , people needs to learn to train their mindset that here we do things for for ourselves and yes you can be yourself but there are tones of activities to do , one just need to create time for themselves and people needs to learn that there ways to make friendship they don't need to be from your country as far you share common goals and , There so many African churches and English churches to attend one only need to choose which one is best for you. Neze I like your openness and honest review
As long as there is security where i am, no boredom. Adventure improves lives . Maybe finance contributes to some people's boredom. It takes money to groove.
Personal finances and the neighbourhood one settles into sure matters on arrival :) it eases and beautifies settling into Canada. However, Alberta is predominantly the oil sector, so the class & calibre of people it attracts differs in comparison to Ontario (precisely Toronto) kinda like Lagos city. I am certain you will run back had you landed in Ontario, when you start seeing sexuality on display, young teens kissing openly/publicly and every manner of display of feminism rights and lets not talk about the impact it has on homes etc. Alberta is more like saying one is living in the countryside vs. Ontario, living the city life. The stress and population is incomparable. And do not be fooled, even those with so-called Canadian experience are been laid off and/or are jobless and lets not talk about the politics game, very edgy too.
What people find interesting differs, some people find it difficult to adjust to something different from what they have been used to, one thing I know after living in different countries across 3 continents is that create your excitement yourself, with that mentality you will make your environment work and that’s why I don’t like to live in cheap low cost of living cities, I always do the big cities in any country so I can have options, cos I know boredom can cause depression.
And in regards to people complaining of boredom it's mostly during the winter months when it's so cold and most people prefer to stay warm at home and not go out in the cold but at least in Nigeria/Africa no cold and people get to go out and enjoy the sun all year long, so those are the differences and some people prefer the hot and prefer Africa to abroad and some others prefer the cold too so to each one and what they like that's all.
My take on this is all about one's personality. If one not a socialite, it will be easy for such a person to survive. It's easy to adapt when you are with your family, it will be fun.
I am a fan and relate as I am a solicitor in uk. However I beg to differ with some of your observations. There are several cross dressers, feminist, divorcee, single parent, and they are obvious in offices and work place. They may not be found at your gatherings or companies you keep. I guess because you work from home you will not come across these persons as they are abound, trust me. Regarding winter, it can really get worse but luckily this year in Alberta is not that bad. That is a good start for you. But it can get really bad. Well done with your content as I enjoy them. Have a great week❤
Everyday Nigerians are dropping de@d abroad due to stress. Work work work.. shifts without fun or creating time & resources for recreation. Life and abroad is what you make of it so make the best of it. Neze i love your positive approach to lige.
FINALLY!!!😊 After years of consistent growth and several months working on this ground breaking project.. I am soo thrilled to present to you all MY FIRST EVER MASTER CLASS! Some say its long over due but ild say its right on time.. I needed to not only know the ropes, but to master it. To not only have some great videos but know how to make consistent success on everyone of them. It’s not a gamble, it’s not a coincidence …It is a SKILL that can be learnt and taught.. So come on let me assist you! Whether you are a content creator struggling with your numbers & growth or you are an individual who want to learn how to speak better, hold listeners spell bound and command respect..THIS IS FOR YOU! Send an email with “interested” to nezemasterclass@gmail.com.
Thank you Nene for sharing your experience. Most importantly, for having a positive perspective to things and showing it in your analysis. You look so beautiful. I have always admired your lovely disposition. God bless you more and more richly. ❤❤
U.K. is the best place to relocate especially as an engineer, doctor and lawyer - it’s easy to have your experience recognised or after a few conversion courses- or go for global talent visa - Huge Nigerian community in certain cities too
Jobs all over are tough when just coming in. The average person regardless of qualifications needs to be open to an entry level job. Salaries are not also what we would like and making the ends meet is another story. Also over here not everybody is driven by growth or ladder titles unlike back home. Lots of dynamics and moving pieces.
Neze you are making money online others have to work all the time here. Even when you are off duty you really dont have money to go spent out like that. you have it good sister
Neze, U have said it all about Canada. I quite agreed with U for all U have explained bcos, that is exactly what I have seen here since I came to Canada since last October 🇨🇦. Kudos to all the explanation U have given so far. I am a living living witness witness.
The cup is either half-empty or half-full... Depending on how you looked at it. This young beautiful lady has shared her awesome experience in 7 months,and some persons are trying to force their own bad experiences on her....Haba now. Life is what you make of it o..... Do you really need to have so much money to be happy??? Capital NO!
I was surprised when I saw you preparing for winter I liked it but I was like I can’t do that. I have never prepared or planned for winter and I’m not someone that withstands cold it’s really easy to manage winter u don’t have to bulk buy or do some huge stuff
God blessed you barrister Neze, you are one of the fortunate immigrants with strong financial background. Those who earn minimum wage in Canada /USA will tell their experiences differently because it is so difficult financially at the teething period of relocating if they are not financially buoyant like you.Most immigrants come over to Canada/USA to struggle and help their families financially back in their countries. Enjoy your stay.Remain blessed.
Hello, Neze, its funny but i am that sore thumb lol, i feel like i am the only nigerian if not black person in my neighborhood and for that reason, i am known in my area, besides the fact that my accent is different lol. I have lived in the US for 13yrs now, i lived 11 yrs in California but i currently live in Tennessee... guess what? Lol, i live in the country with my oyibo husband lol. And i love love love it. I am an introvert like my hubby and we do not mind taking road trips to "catch cruise" elsewhere, then return home to extreme peace and quiet. I never knew i would love the country, i was a real ph girl born and raised, but right now enjoying living in "nature" waking up to deers feeding on our property. Its beautiful, our home sits on a 6 acre lot close to a golf course, i would not trade country life for anything else. There are Amish farmers, butchers where you can buy fresh meat and farm produce. When i lived in California, my neighbor was next door and would throw loud parties that made it impossible to live there. Staying in the countryside, your neighbor is acres away, very quiet very private

Where in Alberta are you and please what do you have to say about the unemployment in Canada as well?
Same sentiments for me, I’m so glad to get your honest feedback, this is encouraging. Truth is you determine how you will live anywhere you find yourself..All the best!
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me.
Who is your financial coach, do you mind hooking me?
Cryptocurrency investment, but you will need a professional guide on that.

I moved to the UK along, I was never bored. Go out of your community and mixed with other people from different cultures and do new things.
Exactly what I just stated also.
Though me I’m mostly indoors mbok, enjoying my company 😅😅, if not for my husband sef, I for no Dey attend some events we go to 😂😊
You did 't hear what she said. She said she is never bored
I've never loved or feel so close to a UA-camr, I really feel close and attached to your videos and trust me when I say I LOVE YOU
Loneliness is self imposed cos people want to associate with their tribal kindred. Explore being friends with people from different cultures. It's enriching. In UK I only have maybe two/three Zim friends. The rest are Nigerians, West Indians, White British whom I go out for lunch with now and again. Most of them are teachers in London.

Alberta is Canada , and she’s simply stated her experiences!
Why not consider moving to Alberta? You moved from your home Country because you wanted a greener pasture, you can still move. We keep trying till we are satisfied.
Very true! She can try to move to Ottawa or Toronto.
LGBT is not in your face in Toronto. Sure, you will more likely to see people in drag or makeup and such. But no one is pushing you to do anything. Most people mind their business.

Very true
That's an helpful info you just gave out...if I will ever Japa, only Alberta will be on my list.
you are really on point Neze,jobs are really hard to find now in Cànada and no one is rubbing their ideologies in your face
Regarding the job search, it’s definitely difficult getting a job in Toronto. They take Canadian experience extremely seriously.
I think it’s loneliness not boredom. You can do many things yourself to prevent boredom, but loneliness can be difficult and yes it’s easier for Neze because she has family. But better believe even those in cities are even more lonely. In the village at least you see the neighbours in the garden when its good weather

Everybody with the grace they carry, some people travel and suffer while others don't do much abroad but will buy house within a year, all of us are coming from different family background and it only by the grace of God through his favour
Winter. This has been a record warm winter lol. And sometimes it snows in April or May. Just FYI.😅
You moved with your husband and children that's why your social situation is a lot better than most. Loneliness is real for most immigrants in the west.
Remember, there's climate change and global warming, I'm in the US, and winter in the northeast of US could be scary in the last 5 yrs and Canada is colder. On divorce, check statistics and depend on your job that you'll get to know the reality of that. It's your personal opinion as you've said, others too may have their experiences/opinion at different times.
Thank you much for this video,I came here last year June,getting a job here is very difficult.
there are two major crisis plaguing many cities in Canada!
job and housing!
and its very serious
And the main reason people are migrating to canada for only to find its in limited supply
When ppl keep studying stupid courses and diplomas just to get PR but quickly find out that they can't even get a job in fast food.
Believe social media at your own risk! I used to believe that abroad, especially Canada's winter is freaking horrible until i got to Canada. I am not mobile yet, but i calculate when to leave the house to bus station. I don't feel bored, i create fun for myself, but i have seen people kissed on bus😮. In all, Canada is good, i haven't missed Nigeria since I left.
😍😍
How did you get there?
Well done mama,my personal lawyer,you made law really appealing😀you analyse things so well, always looking forward to your videos.
I love the way you have styled your hair it fits your face pefectly .please do it more.love you from zambia
My own perspective you have to plan your own happieness go places take your family out but the problem with some of us is all about looking for the dollar dollar
As well as your kind of job dear.
In your case you are blessed and planned your relocation extremely well❤❤. Most of those people complaining of boredom and loneliness relocated alone without family nor car and are not self-employed; they have to combine several jobs sometimes.
My first comment on your UA-cam channel.
Just wanted to say that I enjoy your vlog.
I have lived in the US , California to be specific for 35 years.
I agree with all your experiences in Canada.
However, I will say that there are opportunities for growth in jobs here in the US as well as Canada.
You just need to be outstanding in what you do and take advantage of internal promotion exams or additional trainings.
Again, I am your fan.
I will happily host you if you come to the US😊
Thanks for sharing ur experience,, you must be rich and that's why u can put on ur heater through out the day and try and check other provinces too it's not same as where you reside❤
Good points. Given that these are your personal experience, then it's okay. However, 7months is too early to make certain calls. Your ideology might change after few years living in the country or if you open your self more to other nationalities both locally and internationally. And also once you start working in the system.
But it's good you have approached it with a open mind. Having a family is great and you don't feel lost, unlike singles
7 months is not too early to give a "7 MONTH UPDATE "
Matter of factly, thats the perfect time.
when its 10 years, Ild give a 10 YEAR UPDATE...
tnks fr watching darling!
It's all good
😂😂😂😂maybe they are staying inside, inside,where there are nobody that looks like them 😂😂😂 neze, you too like vawulence..
Boredom is relative. Thank you for giving hope jare.
Lol ,like vawulence😂😂
Truly Naija is groovy and the social life can’t be compared to Canada. But you can find happiness wherever you are 😊
We are looking for money oh, that's why we aren't enjoying.
Thanks for sharing dear Neze. It will be great to hear from you as time goes on to see if your perception changes. I live in the UK presently and the idea in those days is that Nigerians and other people from ethnic minority only have menial jobs and don't get to do proper jobs plus that we al live in council property but the reality is that any one can aspire to achieve whatever they put their mind to do and people own their own houses, cars, jobs, businesses...re train, get promoted etc ...of course they are still those looking for shortcuts ...hard work pays...people hustle legitimately and are doing well.
Hey Nezepepe!Thanks for sharing! A quick one about jobs,I think sport has been ignored&it's also one of the professions on demand.I have friends who have got their coaching badges&great coaching/management skills in basketball, personal trainers &soccer;they need experienced people from Africa. Gofldbless you &your beautiful family🙏🤗
Thank you for this. Good to get a different perspective and experience.
For me, when i joined my husband with our son, and later, i gave birth to our daughter. i never had that feeling of being lonely. That's the honest truth, because it i my husband and 2 kids family of 4, but unfortunately my husband passed away from colon cancer last year and i can now say it has been lonely and boring i will say. Most of the time, it is just me and my 5 years doing things to comfort each other. My son is 15 years old, and most of the time his in the basement playing video games or out for soccer practice so i can feel the pain of people saying about Canada being lonely. When my husband passed away, if it was african, you would have people staying with you, but here everyone is working, so it was just me and my kids. People come and go. by the look of things you have a big family so obviously you won't feel lonely. For the cold aspect, we thank God all over Canada. Winter is better last year and this year and also depends on the province you stay. Im happy you're enjoying your stay in Canada.
My condolence to u n kids for the loss of your husband. I pray you are stronger now even though this kind of hurt takes long to heal. ❤
@Melga1518 Amennn 🙏 thank you so much. No, it is not easy at all.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Sending you all of my love
@@NezePeperempe thank you 🙏🥰
I am so sorry for your loss. May God continue to strengthen you and your kids. Amen.
I highly recommend immigrants to open up there mind to change careers or go back to school to get a Canadian degree or even get some professional licensing. In as much as I believe it may not be easy at the beginning for some people, but career growth and promotions comes with being more intentional and smart.
It can be difficult if you don’t have a partner or friends
then they should try go out there and socialize instead of crying about boredom..new friend will not come knocking at the door 😀
Hi Neze, I love your videos...they are always interesting and captivating. Just wanted to say something, I live in the United Kingdom and I have been here for 20 odd years; did my university studies here -- both undergrad and post. One thing I can say about migrating to the Western World is that it takes a good amount of time to integrate properly. So, getting a good job especially when you're coming from a developing country can be a bit iffy if you're not in the medical line: medicine, nursing, etc, or even IT. But it does help to get a job no matter how small it may seem, but as time goes on, the big job will definitely come especially if the person has the experience in the field they're trying to get into. It's all about patience! patience!! and patience!!
You are doing well!
I spent most of my life abroad but have moved around quite a bit up until the past couple years.
Abroad is what you make of it. We are in the US, and it’s really about forming your own community and circle.
I think that’s what ppl say when they say they are lonely. Knowing there are people around who can come through for you, if it’s midnight and your child is sick, or you need help.
Also it’s diff moving with a family versus single.
I think Alberta is very conservative compared to Ontario and BC. Glad your experience so far is positive and you are still enjoying the newness of everything. With respect to the job crisis, trust of everywhere in Canada. There is not much jobs there.
I enjoy watching your vlogs and story telling, I have lived in UK for over 25 years it is what you make , people needs to learn to train their mindset that here we do things for for ourselves and yes you can be yourself but there are tones of activities to do , one just need to create time for themselves and people needs to learn that there ways to make friendship they don't need to be from your country as far you share common goals and , There so many African churches and English churches to attend one only need to choose which one is best for you. Neze I like your openness and honest review
When we plan well before relocation, staying positive helps you get ahead and achieve your goals. Stay blessed my favourite family ❤
As long as there is security where i am, no boredom. Adventure improves lives . Maybe finance contributes to some people's boredom. It takes money to groove.
My dear people are use to their families and can’t help themselves with none around them.
@@chinnycynthia6209 great point also👍
Personal finances and the neighbourhood one settles into sure matters on arrival :) it eases and beautifies settling into Canada. However, Alberta is predominantly the oil sector, so the class & calibre of people it attracts differs in comparison to Ontario (precisely Toronto) kinda like Lagos city.
I am certain you will run back had you landed in Ontario, when you start seeing sexuality on display, young teens kissing openly/publicly and every manner of display of feminism rights and lets not talk about the impact it has on homes etc. Alberta is more like saying one is living in the countryside vs. Ontario, living the city life. The stress and population is incomparable.
And do not be fooled, even those with so-called Canadian experience are been laid off and/or are jobless and lets not talk about the politics game, very edgy too.
Thank you so very much at times a lot of propaganda people will always say things that they have no experience of ❤
What people find interesting differs, some people find it difficult to adjust to something different from what they have been used to, one thing I know after living in different countries across 3 continents is that create your excitement yourself, with that mentality you will make your environment work and that’s why I don’t like to live in cheap low cost of living cities, I always do the big cities in any country so I can have options, cos I know boredom can cause depression.
Hi Neze, thanks for the vid. Can you tell us a little more about your experience with the healthcare and utilities bills as well?
You said it all sister. Thank you very much for clarifying the air😊
Mhn they have it in our “faces” here in UK o,even in London where I’m living.
Even here in Montreal, QC, CA
I agree with you, boredom in Canada is a decision and function of your location.
And in regards to people complaining of boredom it's mostly during the winter months when it's so cold and most people prefer to stay warm at home and not go out in the cold but at least in Nigeria/Africa no cold and people get to go out and enjoy the sun all year long, so those are the differences and some people prefer the hot and prefer Africa to abroad and some others prefer the cold too so to each one and what they like that's all.
I just love you ❤thanks for always sharing your experience with us
My take on this is all about one's personality. If one not a socialite, it will be easy for such a person to survive. It's easy to adapt when you are with your family, it will be fun.
I am a fan and relate as I am a solicitor in uk. However I beg to differ with some of your observations. There are several cross dressers, feminist, divorcee, single parent, and they are obvious in offices and work place. They may not be found at your gatherings or companies you keep. I guess because you work from home you will not come across these persons as they are abound, trust me. Regarding winter, it can really get worse but luckily this year in Alberta is not that bad. That is a good start for you. But it can get really bad. Well done with your content as I enjoy them. Have a great week❤
Neze based her experience on rich work at home mother ideation hence does not see the reality of her new country yet
Everyday Nigerians are dropping de@d abroad due to stress.
Work work work.. shifts without fun or creating time & resources for recreation.
Life and abroad is what you make of it so make the best of it.
Neze i love your positive approach to lige.
Your family dynamic makes all the difference. It's the huge advantage here.
Happy to be the first ❤❤❤ love you. Am following you closely ❤❤❤ love

Thank you Nene for sharing your experience. Most importantly, for having a positive perspective to things and showing it in your analysis.
You look so beautiful. I have always admired your lovely disposition.
God bless you more and more richly. ❤❤
Good to hear Neze, everything about you is positive 💯 🎉❤❤
You're right. She's one person that I love to watch her honest reviews about Canada. The rest ee hmmm... Smh
I moved a month after you moved . As a single person I found it lonely and depressing .
❤️💜
No one is talking of Neze’s neckpiece o…
Nezenwa!❤
The only honest youtuber online
Neze; you are so authentic. Beautiful Neze love watching your channel, while relaxing. Happy Friday.
Nigerians and exaggerations. Thanks again for the good analysis. I hope people take time to watch and be informed
U.K. is the best place to relocate especially as an engineer, doctor and lawyer - it’s easy to have your experience recognised or after a few conversion courses- or go for global talent visa - Huge Nigerian community in certain cities too
Can I dm you pls regarding Global talent visa. Pls share you email.
If you stayed on the island in Lagos, you could leave your house at 2am to a club and return at 4am
Love your videos ❤😊
Alberta is known for having much black community. Reason it's my number 1 choice of place in Canada
Thank you dear! Where else are Africans staying in large numbers over there? Warm regards from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬
Hi dear,
Toronto is very expensive I live in Toronto. Is like Alberta is kind of affordable. To get job is hard 😊
I ran from Toronto to Alberta. Been here for months, but job search is tough.
Personality is so important. Staying home, reading a book, watch series and talking to people back home are great activities too.
Jobs all over are tough when just coming in. The average person regardless of qualifications needs to be open to an entry level job. Salaries are not also what we would like and making the ends meet is another story. Also over here not everybody is driven by growth or ladder titles unlike back home. Lots of dynamics and moving pieces.
Neze you are making money online others have to work all the time here. Even when you are off duty you really dont have money to go spent out like that. you have it good sister
Thanks for your sincerity
This beautiful woman is sharing HER OWN experience.. if you are single or lonely, pls share yours too freely in the comments.
Neze, U have said it all about Canada. I quite agreed with U for all U have explained bcos, that is exactly what I have seen here since I came to Canada since last October 🇨🇦. Kudos to all the explanation U have given so far. I am a living living witness witness.
Thank you neze❤❤
Thanks for sharing your experience and saying the truth .l love your make up 🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful video, very well spoken ❤
Thanks for being honest, sis. What of caring for Children as a single mom? How difficult is it?
Not easy all .. especially if don’t have a car.. speaking from experience
The cup is either half-empty or half-full... Depending on how you looked at it.
This young beautiful lady has shared her awesome experience in 7 months,and some persons are trying to force their own bad experiences on her....Haba now.
Life is what you make of it o.....
Do you really need to have so much money to be happy??? Capital NO!
Well said
I was surprised when I saw you preparing for winter I liked it but I was like I can’t do that. I have never prepared or planned for winter and I’m not someone that withstands cold it’s really easy to manage winter u don’t have to bulk buy or do some huge stuff
Tank u Neze love u man such fun
Neze I love your channel. You always make me laugh. I enjoy your videos.
God blessed you barrister Neze, you are one of the fortunate immigrants with strong financial background.
Those who earn minimum wage in Canada /USA will tell their experiences differently because it is so difficult financially at the teething period of relocating if they are not financially buoyant like you.Most immigrants come over to Canada/USA to struggle and help their families financially back in their countries.
Enjoy your stay.Remain blessed.
Hello, Neze, its funny but i am that sore thumb lol, i feel like i am the only nigerian if not black person in my neighborhood and for that reason, i am known in my area, besides the fact that my accent is different lol. I have lived in the US for 13yrs now, i lived 11 yrs in California but i currently live in Tennessee... guess what? Lol, i live in the country with my oyibo husband lol. And i love love love it. I am an introvert like my hubby and we do not mind taking road trips to "catch cruise" elsewhere, then return home to extreme peace and quiet. I never knew i would love the country, i was a real ph girl born and raised, but right now enjoying living in "nature" waking up to deers feeding on our property. Its beautiful, our home sits on a 6 acre lot close to a golf course, i would not trade country life for anything else. There are Amish farmers, butchers where you can buy fresh meat and farm produce. When i lived in California, my neighbor was next door and would throw loud parties that made it impossible to live there. Staying in the countryside, your neighbor is acres away, very quiet very private
thanks for the refreshing honest review
It can be managed until the bills start arriving and won’t stop arriving.
You know how bad marriages get too much attention. But people fail to understand that they more beautiful marriages than the bad one.
To the SINGLES..........try and mingle....Stop looking down on fellow singles.
Thank you for saying it as it is ❤
my love for you is sooo much. i just want to look at you and listen to you my beautiful woman
I am in Texas and I feel like I am your sister already. Just love love you.
