My Easter holiday in a Nutshell in LAGOS, Nigeria,
Hey sis iam from uk is not just canada healthcare is a problem in uk too i been living here for 25 years before covid everything is good after to see a family doctors is hard now
It's 3years already 🎉🎉
Yes i stay in winnipeg, pedestrian have right of way
I'm right next door to you in SK so I can totally relate .
Totally agree with you. Calgary is a lovely place.
First you made a video 10 reason you dont like living in calgary and now you make this. You are confusing as fuck
The weather is great here. Lots of sunshine. Chinnooks all winter long.
Come on, Chinnooks all winter long. I lived and was born in Calgary. It also can snow in July. In the summer, no matter how warm it is in the day you have to bring a a jacket because it is often chilly once the sun goes down.
Hi gal Happy to have seen this video. U glow even more. Thanks nks for finding time for us
Lovely video Theodora. Welldone! Do you have an idea if Edmonton has such organizations supporting new immigrants as you have in Calgary? Do have a beautiful week!😊❤
Most definitely , Edmonton has a lot of new immigrant support organizations.
@@Theodoramekwunye Good to know. Thank you.
Then move.
Winners is a great place to shopfor clothes especially if you are below size 16.
yes, i agree .this is true. I've gotten some basic items there. Thank you!
Calgary is awesome, we have been having better winters though.
Haaa i can not relate to the better winters sha!
Calgary winter is good coz of the Chinook mountains surrounding it. Go to Saskatchewan. You'll appreciate Calgary 😅😅😅
People move to Canada for a better quality of life and opportunities. Move somewhere else in canada , and overall see if it’s better than Calgary good luck 😉. To enjoy Calgary I suggest you stop comparing it to UK and Nigeria.
I missed you. I know it's not easy, but try and be consistent..Sending you hugs 🎉🎉
awwwww thank you for understanding ...ill keep working at it,Thank you.
Good afternoon, please how can i join the whatsapp group for nigerians in calgary ma'am
please contact me via my instagram channel @iamtheoffydora
Oh! Also for fashion, to add to the States idea(and you won't have to cross the border or change currency), I like the stuff from Montreal/Québec (it is one if the fashion capitals), Toronto and Vancouver
Thats an idea, can you give me some store suggestions?
Been in Calgary since 2016 and everyday I thank God we made the move. If you think Calgary is bad, try Vancouver or Toronto.😅🤣🤣
@@charlesnwaozuzu4361 were you in Vancouver?
@@charlesnwaozuzu4361I 💯% agree
i dont want to live in toronto or vancouver because of the living costs, but id like to exchange the calgary weather with them Vancouver people..... this life no just balance
@@Theodoramekwunye Let go and stop comparing you’ll bee more content 😊. If you have family in the US, use the chance of a visit to shop at ROSS for affordable clothes. When the cad was higher/equivalent to usd shopping online through Macy’s,Jcpenny,bloomingdale, nordstorm,target was an option. You can still do that if you ship to family/friends in the US and pick it up or they drop it off when you or they visit (cuts out shipping/duty fees). Or get a US shipping address (3rd party cross border shipping service) for same.
Try Calgary Foothills primary care network to connect with a family doctor
Feel free to go back to your own country. What are you doing here?? Enjoying the freebies from a useless liberal government i suppose.
I'm new in Calgary, and I am wondering whether I can drive here because the way we drive back home is different. Fashion in Canada is something else. I knew that so I brought a whole lot of clothes from home because I lived in Vancouver sometime ago. And another thing, Canada is becoming extremely expensive everyday and Vancouver is worse, especially rent. I miss Vancouver anyway 😊😊😊
if i can drive in Calgary I'm positive that you can too...it just takes practice and confidence. I'm so glad i did not give out all my clothes, i gave out some but brought the best ones with me , I'm still exploring the fashion stores here but its not looking promising despite the hefty cost. Canada is expensive ..... No cap! you sound like you will soon abandon us in this Calgary back to Vancouver .....lol
@Theoffydoraworld 😀😀😀
Thank you for the insights. I'm hoping to move to Alberta soon, once everything lines up.
You’re welcome!
OMG! The water one is really scary for me ooo. How about if u boil it and allow it to cool, does it help with the taste?
I’ve actually never boiled it, I just use a filter to get out the calcium deposits in the water. Please if you end up boiling always use a filter afterwards, the calcium content of the water is really too high for drinking straight off the tap.
@Theoffydoraworld I appreciate ur advice.
Welcome back ma'am
Thank you faith!
Agreed! Healthcare system is a mess. The icy roads are unbelievable. I am in Edmonton and the roads are dangerous when it snows.
Edmonton is way colder than Calgary, I can imagine how much more icy the roads get😢. It’s extremely dangerous and stressful trying not to hit anyone when your vehicle skids
There are indoor playgrounds for kids. Just google indoor playground.
Thank you for sharing
You’re welcome!
Some tips for you. Have a winter accessory bag, place spare kids and adults mittens, gloves, touques, neck warmers and so-on. I always have one by my front door. That way, if you are on your way out and the kids are missing one thing or the other, you can easily reach into that bag and find a replacement for them. I also have extra pairs in my car. As for stores to shop in Calgary. Its the same complaint. I've made peace with the fact that Calgarians are not fashionable people. They are first thinking of comfort and staying warm, considering that 8 months out of 12 months in a year is in horrible cold weather. I find good stuff at Winners and i'm partial to HM. For work outfits, I go to Reitmans, Rickis when on sale and Costco(their work pants have given me the best fitting and they feel warm too).
This is a great tip, Thank you so much! Yea, winners is great sometimes 👍🏽I haven’t tried reitmans or rickis , Costco will have a look there! Thank you so much for your comment and helpful suggestions too.
Calgary weather was too harsh, ooo, had to move to BC.
You left us behind abi😂😂😂
@@Theodoramekwunye 😂😂😂
Please come and tk me too before I freeze off😢
Have u tried shopping in the states?
@@nancykamara8550 ooooh that’s an idea, can you recommend some stores to look into?
I heard some people travel during summer to go shop in nearby US actually
Yes I’ve heard that as well!
🤣🤣🤣Number 10
@@sayoalonge3356 I just had to say it! Not every time peace ✌️ sometimes a little violence. The over peace wan choke me!
You need to share a cow to have the real taste. The store ones are very expensive and the special parts they sell do not taste good. I always advise newcomers with children not to rent a condo. Someone didn't take my advice but later agreed with me. A basement is way better because it's not as restrictive as a condo. We started in a basement 12 years ago. The detached or semi detached houses are well insulated and, to some extent, sound proof. If we blast music through our living room ceiling speaker, we do not even hear it outside, except our windows are open. For the winter you are very correct. There is no way to explain it except it's experienced.
@@banketaiwo9495 my senior !you no talk since o, when I don suffer finish!😢 Thank you so much for sharing, I’m sure someone is learning something new.
The beef is just off regardless of where you get it. Abeg it's not just sweet

Long time no see. I guess real work got you away haha
@@Kunleduke 😂
Hello, would your recommend that i bring my 3 Children’s clothes when coming coming to canada or i should come and do more of the buying in canada. I am considering that i should bring as much as I can s9 we can focus finances on settling down
@@bhadmusnaeemah2961 I would recommend coming with anything you feel you will need to avoid having to spend money getting this things later Come with lots of food, come with clothes your kids can wear for 2 years without outgrowing You will still have to get warm clothes too so make that choice carefully so you’re not carrying clothes your kids will outgrow in just 6 months.
@Theoffydoraworld thank you so much these are my thoughts too. I just needed someone who has gone through the experience 💯.
Nice to have you back...how's the family?
@@nkirukadeborah9976 Thank you Nkiruka, Myself and the kids are great!
We're have you been is been long, how is the family doing
@@elembenedicta781 Sis, I’ve been here o💕
What do you expect.? You don’t have to pay for your healthcare system . The UK is just the same. When you pay for something then you appreciate it better . For real let’s be thankful, cos that extra cost won’t be favourable.
Actually the declining healthcare here is a symptom of the shortage of healthcare physicians, it’s not a secret that you have to jump through hoops to be licensed to work in the healthcare system here in Canada. Hence the reason we have a shortage of doctors migrating to Canada . I don’t know what the reason is for this in the Uk ! But here they are less professionals licensed and a lot of families needing services.
Actually our taxes pay for healthcare and as a taxpayer in your country of residence, if a need for improvement is identified there’s nothing wrong with voicing it. Maybe in the UK you don’t pay for healthcare directly or indirectly.
I liked the video as soon as you mentioned the weather. I havent gotten used to the weather even though I have been in Calgary for more than 15 years I also didn’t enjoy the beef until I started cow sharing. It tastes exactly like home with the freshness and the burnt ponnmo… so yummy. I get beef from a Nigerian lady who will even deliver to you.. yes .
@@1love603 my senior! Nice to meet you!and thank you for commenting and liking my video…I will start cow sharing soon when I buy a freezer, please where do you buy your clothes in Calgary?
@@Theodoramekwunye I am interested too!👍
@@1love603 The beef part 😭😭 I bought MacDonald for my kids and my son was like "mum the beef doesn't taste good like Ghana beef. I won't eat the beef, take it and I said pls manage you are in Canada 😀😀.
My kids hate the burger here because of the beef, they won’t eat anything that has beef so I can relate.
Hi...please can you share the contact of the lady that handles beef sharing.Thank you
I really want to watch this video till the end but your accent won’t let me.
