Asia have Pakistan, Africa have Somalia now West have Canada

I'm watching you from the USA a kenyan citizen in America. I was linked to your videos through my sister in kenya. You are a smart individual, very blessed, and a great fellow.\nBless you more for what you are doing. African government is a filthy mess. Let our innocent people follow the right channel and make ways out and away from africa.\nGood job!

If he is not satisfied why is he still there?\nAfter this the Canadian immigration should revoke his papers and send back to Africa

Thank you sir, may God reward your labour of love towards your fellow Africa's. Amen

I'm in Nigerian and my spouse is in South Africa, can he sponsor me in South Africa currency?

Come back to Africa

India has gone off the reservation. Time to pariah the country like apartheid South Africa.

Then ask him to move back to Africa then. Why is he whining?

Cater to your audience that is vast from central, east and southern africa who do not understand west african pidgin english

Some Africans are verry funny. In Africa y’all didn’t have anything compared to what you have here.\n\nNow you are here you start complaining about life. You are better of being in Canada that be in Africa for most of you. Be greatful people. Don’t forget where you came from.

Ah, EXPERTS! Experts that have no political affiliations or agendas? Absolute bullshit! These tunnel visioned ‘experts’ can find racism in any institution, law enforcement, political party or any every day sentence that someone may utter. If these people were left to their own devices, they’d be still living in mud huts (if they became that far advanced) and eating their neighbours that they have robbed and murdered. Look to Africa where they ARE left to govern their own countries, and what do you get? Total corruption, massive crime, chaos and devastation. I don’t think it’s worth the destruction of civilised society to pander to these morons.

Positive Thinking\n#Africa

So you wanted free money here? People from shitty countries come to the West expecting free money. We got great by working hard not by expecting good things to happen to us. Stay in Africa and for the love of all that is holy don't go to Europe, don't ruin it please. Just stay out and improve your own messy continent. Now China and Russia will come on white horses and will 'fix' it for you. Watch and see the results...

Oooooh Africa. God help us

Chokor Millionaire, I don't agree absolutely with the blame on the government. At least from what I have seen in Ghana, people are starting businesses.\n\nI am going to say something I observed about Ghana. I found out that women, as usual, are more hard-working. I realised that the men don't have work because they are lazy or have too much pride. I have watched so many videos where so many business owners complain about the ineffectiveness and inefficiencies of the workers. They are not dedicated when they work for other people. I watched these business owners whose workers in the farms are mostly women, and they were very happy that women are easier to control and have good work ethics as opposed to men. The men prefer jobs where they don't use their energies such as Yahoo Yahoo boys, selling in shops where they don't touch anything or lift a finger.\n\nGrowing up, we knew that men were supposed to do the hard-working jobs in society. But these days, men like to idle around and touch nothing. The reasons being that the African culture teaches us that men are not supposed to do anything at home. They are supposed to be served by women. Then, instead of the men going out there to do the hard work and make the money, they wait around expecting cushy jobs that don't make them lift a finger.\n\nLook at China that you mentioned. These boys work absolutely hard. Even in the villages. Look at Muslim countries. You will never see women working on the streets. The men are even the ones who cook the food on the streets and sell. Check countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. In Africa, most things are done by women.\n\nAll this japa that people are fighting for. Have we ever thought of the agenda of these people needing free and cheap labour? I came to realise that we stupid Africans don't yet understand. Our children eventually become strangers, and we remain just surrogate parents. Most of our children are never going back to Africa, and when they get to an age, they become like strangers to us. Whatever we say, they look at us like archaic. What then makes them Africans anyway. We have seen so many of them who barely know their countries of origin and have never ever been there. They do not know their relations. In fifty years' time, that generation has lost their roots, and was that our intentions initially? This all dawned on me recently with my children, and I feel absolutely dejected because they are not interested in our country. All my hard work is gone down the drain, and all that can happen is for us to leave our children behind and live like people who never had children in the first place. For now, most people see it like something to be proud of, and are happy to say ( my children live abroad). Africans are the most stupid people I know, and that is why we are always used for slave labour. Why are they all approving all these visas and allowing all these people to drown at sea? \n\nThese countries allow these fake visas deliberately because they drain African countries to enrich their own since they can't get the minerals easily these days.

❤ love of your brothers in Africa God bless you.

Truth about Africa no enabling environment bcos of our system is corrupt

Ghana's inflation rate 40.1% with a 30% percent interest rate.Your ideas dont matter without money for Government officials.We dont have leaders in Africa. They are all investors who have come to take returns on their money sharing.

I feel you , don’t give up .. have a plan , after 10 year go back to Africa.. it is not easy .. ❤❤❤

I am an immigrant from South Africa here in Edmonton since June of 2023. What the brother is saying is true. Canadians make no room for the human element in the workplace/environment. Everything is based on productivity at the expense of your humanity. They also treat workers as very expendable and disposable. The fact that they import so many foreign workers to do certain jobs is perhaps a reason why born Canadians no longer want to put up with the exploitation (I don't know if this is the true reason though).\n\nCanada is very convenient, and public services and infrastructure are amazing compared with South Africa. But the rest of the culture is very sterile. Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and Ice Hockey are considered cultural identities. Maybe the older generations had a distinctive culture, but most Canadians of today's are only interested in consumerism and the car lifestyle. If you are looking for people with warmth and depth, you will most likely find it with fellow immigrants (and maybe the poor and marginalized communities of Canada).\n\nCanada is a very safe country, and South Africa may not be worth it for me to return to. But the strongest element I thought for coming to Canada was that people here appreciated life and each other. This is not true. Canada is 'stable and happy' because the people are intoxicated by the comfort that material wealth provides the individual (despite all their complaints and problems, most Canadians still lead very comfortable and easy lives). Take away their comfort and materialism, and they won't know who they are. They won't know how to stand together either since they have been so strongly conditioned to live for themselves as individuals.\n\nCanadians are known for their politeness and friendliness, and this is true. But there is a big difference between politeness and kindness (and being genuine). Canadians are not kind.\n\nMy opinion is obviously limited and biased. I am sure there are wonderful and pleasant exceptions. But I will still limit these as exceptions. \n\nThink hard before choosing Canada (and perhaps also the USA). Unless you have a strong community to support you here, it will be a lonely and alienating experience.

See i am from Africa...and here in Africa... nearly everyone feels homeless... As beautiful as Heaven is said to be with all the food you can think off nobody eats there. There are downs in every up.. try writing up..❤❤ I love Canada.

Sorry but not Sorry stay in your own Country yawl should be Proud to know where you come from and have a place to call your own unlike Black born in americiakkk we don't know where our Ancestors came from so this here is our Country and the whites who Ancestors who Stole this like to say go Back To Africa but they don't wanna go back to the Mountains where they are from and give the American Indians their Land back.? Not enough space bye, bye stay out.

Nigeria is one of the strongest economies in Africa\n\nNigeria will become better. but sadly, Canada is better than other countries

If South Africa we fight with immigration US they told us about human rights...so leave Mexican like us when you said must leave Zimbabwe pple....go Mexican....go Mexican

People from Nations with horrific poverty do not comprehend Nations not like that are built around a culture of working hard. That is RIDICULOUS he is complaining in the workplace in Canada he is not permitted to chat endlessly with patients. I was doing a job in a major city in North America where I would come into contact with some frequency with small business owners from Europe. It would be revealed in conversation they are extremely reluctant to hire men ( not the women ) from places like Africa, The Middle East and South Asia because those individuals are accustomed to passing the day doing next to nothing, letting women do most the work, are difficult to train and become combative when asked to work with the intensity of local norms. That is not racist. Racist would be wishing those groups harm, thwarting their progress, etc. But facts are facts. Certain groups are socialized to do the bare minimum in life in settings where it is not necessary to work hard enough to sustain infrastructure and personal resources for very cold winters and a decent, not unsanitary standard of living. If anyone accuses that of being racist they have never ran a business with balanced books in an industrialized Nation. It has nothing to do with genetics. It has to do with how people are socialized. Traveling on Saudia the Male flight attendants do next to nothing, tend to be rude and let the Women do most the work. Why? Because they can get away with it.

Hi choco is it possible to apply for asylum in Canada while you left your children in onather foreign. country because of your situation are you gonna be able to bring them as well after getting asylum am currently in South Africa

Sabto wadia sada Tanzania Africa a

Newsflash,the media says itsMexicans and Venezuelans. Nope, they are blended with Russians, Turkey,China, Africa coming in, etc. I'm stating facts here, not guessing!!!!!!!

In my opinion, people from Asia and Africa have too many kids, and it is the fault of their parents and grandparents because they influence them to have large families. Then they whine and moan about how they cant make it. Here is a solution: HAVE NO CHILDREN OR ONE CHILD so things can balance out. The planet cannot afford to sustain such a large human population.

Systemic Racism is everywhere for a Black Person outside Sub Sahara Africa..??

Nova Scotia\nam watching you from Africa Zambia

All Govt. of Canada and its supporters should give part of their houses to homeless and give subsidies as their support services and give contract to China for building small houses in North Canada and as built by China in Africa in 3 days almost 20,000. It will raise pubic im,age and votes bank by the existing Govt.

This is bull shit my brother in law is from Africa and he just bought his family home in canada after being there for 10 years

We need to take some advice from other country's border policies and, when a group storms the border, then open fire on them to prevent the crossing. I'd like to see them try this in China, the middle east, Europe, Africa or any other place, besides the United States. They would be shot.

i think the infrastructure in canada would be better though. eg. in africa if a road needed to be fixed maybe they would take a longer time ... etc .... so the best way is to live in canada and vacation half the year in nigeria lol

Canada has been ridiculously good to me and for me, even as I appreciate that this is not the average experience. I came here 36 years ago, when there were jobs looking for people, and not the other way around. Back then we had the choice to skill up some more or go in full force in careers, which worked for many of us. I can see how tough it would be for new immigrants now, especially professionals who were already established back in Africa not wanting to get re-validated in order to practice here. That is a journey best played out by new engineers, doctors and other crucial professions where they have time on their side and not feel like they are giving up much to start from scratch. Canada is great but each person has to weigh their reason for wanting to be here. If the scales tip this way, then one has to fully commit to the move to make it work. Otherwise, truly look to make that success happen wherever you are ..... Africa, Asia or Australia. It IS possible!

Oh wow.. This didn't age well! That's almost like leaving Haiti to live in South Africa..

Take yall asses home...shit..dont yall got gold in Africa...and dont come to the USA...we got our own problems and we trying to send your people home...

For me, I need to tap into resources to develop Africa, I have been to the US several times, looking to visit the UK, Canada, and Australia and attract investment back home in Africa.

Are African Americans coming to Canada to work? Why? America has a way better real estate market.\n\nOkay. After watching the video, I realize you're talking about folks from the continent of Africa. African Americans are not immigrants, nor are they Africans. I know Indians don't want to be called SriLankans visa versa.\n\nThat man is Nigerian.

go back to africa

Am mother of 5 children currently leaving in south Africa i was given permit 10yrs ago according to to our situation in Zimbabwe so now they are not renewed and i cqn not go back home because i am a family member of opposition part do i qualify for refugee status ?

Canada isn’t worth it but I’d still choose Canada than my home country of South Africa. But I’m lucky to live in Vienna Austria and it would be so hard to swop that for any other country because it is just amazing. I’d probably move to Switzerland if I was forced to, but that is absolutely it. Nothing else comes close to me. ???

Time to go back to Africa!

Stay home, built a better africa instead and stop blaming others for your miserable life or wife.

I think one of the biggest things he didn’t mention is the gap between rich and poor in African countries is huge. People will always come to the west to try and make a ‘better’ life for themselves. The African countries I have been to are beautiful the people for the most part are welcoming but like the west there are many challenges and poverty and corruption is in Africa just as much as the US, Canada, Europe and the rest of the world. Wherever you live try to live the best way you can we are not on this earth forever

I will never leave beautiful Stellenbosch, South Africa for Snow ? in Canada....

I hear but Africans need to learn to work in a more scheduled way then things would be better for them on the continent of Africa. But perhaps not as scheduled in the West because stress is huge because of it.

It's still better than South Africa, the World capital of raaape, muuurder, and highjaaaking

But where are the money and jobs in Africa? The money you make in Canada can pay your monthly bills and still have to save. Let's stop lying and complaining too much.
