A Nigerian lady living in Canada who also works as a job placement officer has created a heated debate by claiming that many immigrants of various nationalities, including Nigerians, are broke because they lack appropriate work ethic, which means they are not working hard enough.
The young woman’s controversial comments have stirred debates regarding the difficulties that immigrants encounter while attempting to integrate into North American society.
The immigration job placement officer, whose identity has not been released, claimed to have spoken with thousands of immigrants and their friends in the video.
Based on these exchanges, she came to the conclusion that many immigrants struggle financially because they are seen as being unable to put in the necessary effort.
She claimed that a crucial story from a person who claimed they couldn’t manage two jobs while working as a personal support worker (PSW) for $28 an hour served as an example of the bigger problem.
She used this event as support for her assertion that immigrants’ financial difficulties are primarily caused by their laziness and used it as a “excuse” to avoid actively seeking employment.
She claimed that immigrants who don’t have jobs in Canada need to work twice as hard to make a stable living.
Addressing the characteristics of the Canadian labor market, the woman stressed that her claims were supported by her observations and mentioned that a close friend of hers who only works as a PSW was able to purchase a home in Ottawa worth more than $700,000. She cites this as proof that only the lazy worry about a lack of money in Canada.
