"I beg to differ sir! There's nothing evil about this country. By default Nigeria is blessed! The hardship suffering are all self-inflicted and in most cases occasioned by our imposed 'rulers' I wish u well and may you find fulfillment."
@BayoAdedosu said:
"I am happy for him but he should know that there's more to relocating to Canada. He will achieve whatever he sets his mind to but will limit himself if he continues to run Nigeria down. The work place will test is patriotism & vision. I wish joy. Welcome to Canada."
