Why are you still in America?

Who ever talked about how awesome Canada was? I just said that was my number one place outside of the US if I were to move. I never claimed it was easy either.

As stated time and time again, most people here aren't going anywhere.

Yea it's your number #1 choice but that's like me saying Harvard is my number #1 choice for college.
But setting up life in another country is more complicated than many people think, experts say. And although many Americans happily relocate -- often for reasons unrelated to politics -- their new reality is not necessarily as idyllic as some may hope. Canada, after all, has problems, too.
Most immigrants come because of a job offer or because they're marrying a Canadian, Cohen said. Other routes to permanent residency include proving your economic worth to the country, investing a significant amount of money, starting a business, or completing a graduate degree at a Canadian university.
Newly granted permanent residents must spend two out of the next five years in Canada. After three years of residency, they can apply for citizenship, which requires taking a citizenship test and proving proficiency in English or French

Honestly not trying to go anywhere else...spent a few weeks in central Europe and experienced some of the worst racism I ever experienced in my life there. Africa is basically owned by whites and asians at this point. Not going to china. America is not that bad my dude, it's fukked up in many ways but it is not worth abandoning...cant say that about many places on earth.
I've already looked into what it takes to move to Canada, plus considering I'm still in undergrad for another year after completing this one I have a long time before moving to another country. I also plan to both publish a book and start up a gaming company in that time so I think I'm good. I don't see myself moving from the US for another 5-10 years but I'm strongly considering it and looking at my options.
I'm not naive or dimwitted where I think America is a hell hole and other countries are peaches and cream nor do I think I will ever escape racism, I just don't want to live in a police state which America seems to be getting closer and closer to.
Africa is a continent and this is false.
Asia and the middle east always makes me uncomfortable. I'm never at ease over there.
I like africa but we aint controlling our own shyt at all. south america is cool but they on that bullshyt white supremacy shyt too.
the carribean is great but there aint no money there to make except you are into tourism, foreigners control most of the cake as usual.
No it isn't
Nigeria, Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Rwanda all control their resources in a responsible way. Tons of other African countries do too but the money goes to a few elite.

I'm Nigerian-American, meaning I'm a citizen of both countries. It would take a lot for me to go there at this point in my life. If my life goes the way I want it to, I'll retire and spend my last years there, but no way I'm going there now. Unless you majored in petroleum engineering and know the right people, you can't make it there (or really any African nation) as a young person.
