Nollywood veteran Olori Funmilayo Adedeji shared her thoughts on how life in Canada has changed over her 34 years there, highlighting the decline of communal living.
While on the Talk to B podcast with Abiola Akinrinde, she reflected on the 1990s, a time when communal living was common.
“What has changed in the Canada of then and the Canada of now?” asked Abiola.
“The trust has changed,” Adedeji replied curtly. “Now there is less trust in people, I remember back in the 90’s, there was communal living and we just continued on as if we were in Nigeria,” she added.
Adedeji pointed out that the arrival of many immigrants over the years has led to a lack of trust in the Canadian community.
“Back then, your friends were like family, but these days, because of the crowd, there are a lot of people who don’t trust others. Now people don’t trust each other as much and people will disappoint you and because of that, communal living is being ripped apart gradually,” she explained.
She continued, “When you see a new person now, you are skeptical and unsure of whether to trust them. Because of the crowd, we are losing a bit of that communal living. Before, people could naturally give each other favours but now everything is about money.”
The veteran also mentioned larger changes in society, stating that as migration and the world changes, people are paying more attention to money.
“A lot of people are migrating and the world is changing so people are so money conscious and nothing goes for nothing anymore and it’s the reality that we are faced with,” said Adedeji.
