NIGERIA VS. AMERICA/CANADA | BATTLE OF THE COUNTRIES

[@kayceeonyegam9863]

For the racism part, when you just move from Nigeria, that saying that "ignorance is bliss" is very apt cos when you go through some sort of incident as a result of the color of your skin, it really won't bother you as much as opposed to a black person who grew up here in the US or who have lived here longer. I just moved from Dallas to the western part of Texas where you may see a black person once in a month; every other person is caucasian. I've generally met really nice people but you can imagine my anxiety before I moved knowing that blacks are like a tiny percentage of the population of the city.

[@fitnessgem8838]

So true!

[@servanthart5556]

STILL, WE MOOOOOVE. But thank you Dr. Ann for enlightening us. We love you so much!

[@oyannamuta]

LOL

[@annondemand6607]

Aww thanks!

[@nwekejj]

Lol

[@liorsinger1]

Ann, you are great! Thank you, you are the "bridge" between us.

[@geniusking4003]

Enlighten video, but I noticed you did not say any comparison to Canada because the video title made mentioned of Canada. Nice weekend!

[@oyannamuta]

I noticed too but Canada is pretty much the same as the U.S.

[@geniusking4003]

You correct unless that they don't seems to be the issue of racism which she mentioned is the biggest problem in US

[@oyannamuta]

@@geniusking4003 Oh trust me, there is racism in Canada

[@annondemand6607]

Both countries are very similar.

[@geniusking4003]

Thanks for the clarity

[@amahoyeneingo2487]

Thank you Dr. Ann Amuta. You are great!!!!!

[@timilehinvalentinaoyelakin5973]

Wow, doc, you just keep giving me more reasons to love you. Well... I want to comment on the basic amenities, If Nigeria can work on it, I am 80% sure that more persons will prefer staying in Nigeria. These Amenities like electrical, good roads etc, will create more job opportunities and will encourage everyone. Also, about the racism, Nigerians are more accommodating, I have seen how we treat the white folks, we treat them very well. Finally, doc, thanks for this enlightenment, you are AMAZING❤❤

[@fadekemifosudo1427]

This was a good watch. I agree with you on most of what you spoke about. Most of the food I eat at home , we get from the garden in my house. All types of fruits and vegetables.but the thing is People dont want to go to the US because Nigeria isn't chill to live in, in fact if you have your money and an awesome job/business you'll enjoy Nigeria. Nigerians migrate cus of better opportunities, global exposure and basically to reach out. I feel like once you have accomplished that to a large extent. Just come back home and enjoy your old age. But also strive to set your kids up with the dual citizenship too

[@nwekejj]

Thanks a lot for this overall exposure.

[@valerienwankwo5570]

[@onifadeisreal9502]

Thanks Ann, this is pretty encouraging!

[@annejoseph1425]

Thank you Dr. Ann Amuta. I really appreciate. I would say no where is perfect. One man's meat is another man's poison....😂 I will add Job opportunities which is part of Amenities is better in USA/Canada than Nigeria.

[@annondemand6607]

Yes!!! Jobs jobs jobs! Thank you for adding that! There are definitely more opportunities in the US/Canada

thanks Dr Ann, i think a man can live his life best in Nigeria with Good Money and Jesus at the centre.

I went to a private university in Nigeria and I loved my schooling experience, the lecturers were good and a few in my department had foregin experience.

[@loveejiofor7769]

Obviously she’s not talking about the few of you who went to private school. Majority of Nigerians go to public school and it’s hell out there... we’re not all ajebutters.

[@ekpereusoro8159]

Love Ejiofor I'm telling my own experience madam, no vex.

[@annondemand6607]

Yea I understand. Thanks for sharing :).

[@emotionallypink5264]

@@loveejiofor7769 yes we know she was talking about public universities....he was just sharing his experience you didn't need to go for him like that, it is not his fault he attended a private school, that ajebutter thing is a stereotype. Stop transferring the anger meant for Nigeria's bad leaders to innocent civilians, please calm down. Thanks

[@iykeuketui45]

Very good analysis. Thank you

[@loverslane922]

So good! Enjoyed it a lot!

[@h.king1772]

I love every part of it 😍 I couldn't skip

[@BecomingBestMe]

First off, I love your shirt/dress. I agree with some of your views. Though it is difficult to get organic food, the variety is limitless and relatively cheap in America. Lots of vegetables and fruits too which is why people can go plant based or any other diet restrictions. Can we talk about mental health? One would think that Nigeria is grade A with the amount of totally or partially insane people walking the streets and the fact that we don't see PTSD as a thing but I find it strange that Mental health is mostly discussed (everywhere) in America. Apart from racially motivated crimes, I think America is way safer and one is more likely to get justice.

[@blessingsibk2037]

Thank You for this informative piece........ They'll go a long way. #There are struggles everywhere tho.

[@aminaobafemi8511]

Thank you for being so real Ann.

[@emmanuelchimezieb7726]

You're just amazing. I would say America takes security. For amenities, you're right. You don't need to say it. I'm tired if the UP NEPA headache. For your son, I know a family that brought their children to do a one year academic programme here in Nigeria and that in a public university secondary school after which they went back to the US. And yes, at first I was like, please let me move first 🤭🤦🏽‍♂️ I like that language, IMPORTANTER😂 Thank for sharing these experiences.

[@loverslane922]

Wow loved this so much! Makes me rethink a lot of things. Thanks Dr. Ann.

[@fitnessgem8838]

My girl! Always on point! Lets not forget the weather is freaking cold in Canada but horribly hot in Nigeria LOL, lose lose haha! Nice video Ann

[@RobertsAdra]

Please take out Canada out of your title. Since you don't have first hand experience and you are not actually talking about it, there is no need for you to clickbait with "Canada" in there.

[@novaarrey9059]

I'm having this conversation of relocating to Canada with my husband and son but my husband although my husband supports the idea but he has a problem with relocating to Canada and then starting from the scratch. P.s - we ain't doing so bad in Nigeria. What's your advice on this?

[@ike83]

For Security, you would have to look at it from different angles namely: initiation, response and cause of insecurity etc. Just recently in Lagos, there was these group (one million boys) that was terrifying the whole city. The govt couldn't do anything, and this forced residents to keep vigil and protect their families. The way security officers in USA handle issues of crime and related activities cannot be compared to Nigeria. In most cases, the security officers in Nigeria are either incompetent or ill-equipped to do the job. There are issues of crime in every part of the world. How the govt (security agencies) control these activities is very key and that for me is security. So i will give it to USA. Thanks for the enlightenment. I will still move to Canada nonetheless. Lol

[@thechichi3156]

These comparisons are worth taking into consideration honestly. but the truth remains that a large chunk of us still here in Nigeria would pick America/Canada over Nigeria, even in our sleep. Lol. Dr. Ann please please please read the email I sent you.

[@oyannamuta]

Very very very very nice video. I love Nigeria.

[@Atonic91]

Hahaha. I guess your experience was in a public university. Private universities in Nigeria are actually way better and are getting more globally recognized, they are however, more expensive as well. Great vid

[@annondemand6607]

Lol 😂 yea but most Nigerians attend public schools unfortunately

[@Atonic91]

Basit Kareem I attended The University of Lagos so this is not me supporting private schools. By beat how do you mean please??? I have been privileged to work with people from private schools (as colleagues) and their experiences were nowhere like ours, plus I could evidently see the results and clear difference in their work and operations. Yes individuals can work on themselves to achieve that but the point here is the ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE - Private vs Public

[@Atonic91]

Basit Kareem plus if you watched the video you would know I was referring to the fact that her lecturers were not helpful or supportive, private universities are well monitored so that rarely happens. The argument here is the academic experience.

[@Atonic91]

Basit Kareem LMAO. Enjoy your weekend Sir!

[@Flourish_today]

I dont think I have heard get me out of Canada as much as I have heard about America.. not so much in Canada

[@annondemand6607]

I know people that do not like Canada because of racism. But I think it just depends on where you live...you know?

[@chisimdi4886]

Canada is many orders of magnitude better than the US on the racism front. I've lived in Canada for over 5 years and rarely see myself as black. I've never been denied of my right or talked/stared down direspectfully due to my skin color. This is not to say there is no racism in Canada, its just that its claws are largely defanged to a liveable extent. In contrast, I'm always reminded of my blackness whenever on a short (max 1 month) visit to the US. Moreso, to the point of me getting freaking terrified that someone would hurt me because of my skin color. I'm always edgy and less exploratory whenever I'm on a (sort of mandatory) visit for academic conferences. I don't ever plan to live or raise my kids in the US.

[@busayoobadare2497]

Wow, thanks Doctor Ann, so enlightening, thanks for all you do, still awaiting your reply to my email

[@ujunwanwosu1404]

Prof Ann, your hair is so long

[@filipbogaert9986]

Nepa ke? That one no exist anymore.

[@Flourish_today]

I am African but I know it goes deeper than the color of our skin. Its deep rotten my dear. And like you I also learnt about my blackness when I moved to the west in 2009. I didn't even know I was black or being black was a thing. For your kids to experinece that, you might have to move away. I also sometimes forget that I am black and I noticed that I don't notice certain things. When i apply for a job as long as I'm qualified, i know i will get it. The whole i am black thing never comes into play. Short story:One time I applied for an apartment and was required to send my ID. After 5 min of the landlord recieving my ID he immediately responded saying the apartment had been taken and yet we were communicating back and forth and it looked like I was getting it. To be honest I didn't think of the fact that maybe because he saw I was a black woman on my ID. My friend who was with me at the time made me aware that it's because I am black lol!if she had never mentioned this I probably would have never known because till today I at times do not see my blackness as an issue. And when it is and I realise it it, I take as God its protecting me from something bad. End of story.

[@annondemand6607]

OMG! Yes, its those things you never think of as an African. I have experience something similar too. Thank you for sharing :)
