A Nigerian man who sold his properties to relocate to Canada with his family reportedly faces financial difficulties in the country instead of the greener pasture he believed he had moved into.
This was disclosed by a Canadian sound engineer, Eric St-Pierre, who was lamenting the deteriorating economy of his country on X.
Eric who lives in Ontario, said the Nigerian was his colleague who had just relocated to Canada with his family.
Eric said life had become tougher for the Nigerian than when he was in his own country, because his earnings could only take care of their rent, whereas back home, he was able to fend for his entire family from his earnings.
He disclosed that the Nigerian colleague when he newly arrived had to starve to save extra food for his children due to his low income, a situation which forced the wife to also join the labour market instead of catering for their children.
Eric’s post read:
“The Canadian economy is getting so bad that even newly landed immigrants are regretting coming here. I work with a Nigerian guy who brought his entire family here for a better life. In this case, they found that the grass wasn’t greener on the other side.
“Suddenly he realized that his wage was only enough to cover his rent. Back home his income was enough to care for the entire family. He spent his first months here starving so his wife and kids could eat.
“Now his wife needs to work out of necessity instead of focusing on raising their kids. Now distraught both him and his wife are regretting coming here. Worst yet they can’t afford to return, they spent their life savings to live in Canada.
“Stories like these are all too common thanks to the Liberals morally bankrupt policies. Our economy is literally a ponzi scheme preying on newcomers to artificially inflate real estate and rent prices.”
