E47: Nosa Ayanru found it easier to settle into Canada than the UK

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I’d personally send you a thank you email.

Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.

In this episode, I’m speaking with Nosa Ayanru, an amazing MC, finance fella, and community builder.

Nigerians who immigrate often move to the United Kingdom, the United States, or Canada in recent times.

Nosa Ayanru has moved to two of those countries. And he thinks Canada is a much better place to live as a Nigerian immigrant.

He moved to Manchester, UK with £278 in his wallet to study, and after 6+ years, moved to Canada with his family. And a larger purse this time around.

In this conversation, we chat about:

* His biggest cultural shocks

* Why he never liked living in the UK

* Why you don’t immigrate with money, but a skillset

* Culture as a way of understanding a people

* Building the Nigerian brand in Canada via arts and culture, and more.
