In some of the videos, some Canadians lament that the price of food has skyrocketed and they can’t understand the sudden change.

Another man advised immigrants planning to come to the country to stay away from Canada at the moment because the cost of living was alarming.
While some have cried out about not knowing the cause of the inflation, others have shared that the problem stems from the influx of immigrants in their country.
Reactions: I go still come
The video had many Nigerians agreeing that things were difficult all over the world and were not limited to Nigeria or Canada. See some comments below;
@obiking4life: Some Canadians especially the caucasians are not resilient, they were born with silver spoon, they depend on Canadian govt for virtually everything. Yea, there’s inflation but not just in Canada 🇨🇦 but all over the world caused by Covid 19 pandemic (after effects).. Canada 🇨🇦 is far much better than Nigeria in all ramifications trust me 😊😊😊 if you want to jakpa please don’t listen to these bunch of non hustlers
@treasure_hunt231: I go still come
@fabianski12: A lot of people don’t understand. The world economy is down. People feel it’s just Nigeria. This is affecting the globe. Every economy is struggling now. China unemployment rate has tripled, and they have even stopped publishing it. So it’s very difficult out there. Don’t allow anyone to deceive you. If you earn dollars, you spend dollars and not naira. Be wise people

Nigeria must be run in a business like manner: Reno Omokri calls for higher taxes for foreign businesses
Meanwhile, Nigerian activist Reno Omokri drew attention to the significant revenue made by South African companies in Nigeria, urging the Nigerian government to take decisive action to protect the country’s economy.
He gave examples like the MTN Nigeria Limited, which generates ₦2 trillion in revenue annually from Nigeria, and DSTV which earns ₦300 billion. This money leaving Nigeria puts pressure on the country’s currency, the Naira, and affects its value.
Omokri suggests that Nigeria should tax these South African companies more and limit how much profit they can take out of the country.
