    I like how you subtly pass your message across. You've successfully broken down a complex topic by being objective. Home is where you find joy and happiness and most importantly, the thereafter!!!

    I appreciate God's wisdom in your words! No buzzwords, just mature, godly insights.
    We made the move last year (though not Canada). Some days, you're very grateful you left, some days, you question it.
    But like you said, migration is part of life, and especially if you're young, it's worth moving to where opportunities are. Love the gospel in the end!
    Appreciate your videos ma.

    It’s a personal decision with many reasons all interconnected. Home is where the heart is. I have lived in Canada over 20 years but my heart and soul is in Africa.

    I have lived over 25yrs in USA ,love it to some extent, however, the original home is where my heart is but insecurity is a problem in my place of origin hence unable to return to where the "heart " is and continue to enjoy my life where I live.
    Folks make choice of wherever is great for you to live.

    ‘Ighota go’: hope you understand, alternatively : do you get😂
    That number 2 and 3 point gangan on opportunities and making impact, those are the main reasons we moved to where our blessings are 😂.

    Home is anywhere you make it!!!
    We have attached so much sentiments to the concept of “home country”.
    The birthplace is just a nest. No bird lives in the nest forever.
    Joshua 1:3 is a confirmation that we are GLOBAL.

    I want to move out to another country. I am not happy in my home country. I need more opportunities to progress in life and am not getting it in my home country. My challenge is fund. I don't know what to do. Canada declined my applications twice. Please, l seriously need help.

      My cousin was denied to come to Canada. She was so upset and decided to go study in the UK. She met the love of her life in UK and they got married two months ago. She’s joyful and grateful that Canada denied her. So let God be involved @timi9393. Psalms 32:8(NLT) God will guide you along the best pathway for your life,He will advise you and watch over you 🙏

    Migration is a human right. Everyone has the right to live anywhere in the world, depending on their choice.

      @monsurumusah3971 I am not sure about the human rights angle, but you can decide to move anywhere as long as you meet the required criteria. Thanks for watching!

    @just5630 Місяць тому +3

    Why the comparison all the time? I think you’re not entirely happy in Canada hence the constant obsession with whether to move back to Nigeria or not.
    The supposed objective nature of your videos betrays your true inner longing to relocate back home but you seem stuck.

      @just5630 Hmmm. Very interesting. You will be surprised that these discussions are very valuable to many people who reach out to me. Like I say all the time, this is me doing what I can in my little corner to help people who may find this useful as they navigate the many choices we all have to make. You may not find it useful, but I thank you for watching anyway!

      On the contrary, I value her considered takes.
      Most people considering moving would also value the guidance in making an informed decision.
      I do not see any encouragement to vaccillation in her posts.

      @ThisSideOfLifeWisdom why do I feel like comments like this are targeted by trolls to derail you. I smell jealousy and I won't be surprised it's the same person who creates different accounts to troll you. I just stumbled on this comment and felt to leave a message, as far as God doesn't ask you to stop doing these videos, I think you need to keep doing the excellent work you're doing and ignore trolls. There's endless people who garner regular insights from your videos. Trolls will always be trolls. Pls keep up the great job!
