“My 10-Year Journey in Canada: 10 Lessons Every Nigerian Migrant Should Know” – Tunde Tash
10 years ago, today, I arrived Canada from Nigeria & life hasn’t been the same since then.
To those planning on travelling abroad this year or in the near future, come closer because things aren’t what they used to be.
Before I begin, it is important to clarify that:
– Not everyone will travel abroad.
– Not everyone can travel to Canada/UK/US etc.
And this is in no way persuading anyone to. But if you have to, please plan adequately. Research properly. Times have really changed.
See, when I was preparing to travel back then, there was no social media group to join. There weren’t WhatsApp, Telegram or Facebook groups. No Nigerian YouTube video to watch for orientation.
The only orientation I got was from the man who helped with my admission back then. A family friend also gave me a short orientation. But he only spoke of how intense the cold can be. You had to navigate your way. Learn from the few you meet and also source for information yourself. It’s been a journey really, and I am grateful for all I have learnt all along.

Nigerians In Diaspora Lament Passport Crisis In New York, Atlanta
The Organisation for the Advancement of Nigerians (OAN), in collaboration with its partner organisations, has expressed profound disappointment over the continued lack of response from the Ministry of Interior to their longstanding appeal for passport printers at the Nigerian Consulates in New York and Atlanta.
A statement signed by its President, Olutomi Aregbesola, and made available to Nigerian Tribune, criticised the Ministry’s silence despite a letter submitted a year ago highlighting the challenges faced by Nigerians in the United States due to inefficiencies in passport processing.
According to the statement, the absence of passport printers in New York and Atlanta has caused undue hardship for Nigerians in the diaspora, leaving many stranded without valid passports and has also prevented them from traveling for emergencies, work, or family commitments.
