Justwise, i think you need to
open a thread here about
student visa application in
australia. I have not seen it here
before and so i guess it does not
exit here though its very
important as that of canada, us
and uk. But if we do have it here,
please just page me the thread
web address. Or permit me to
open it if we don't have it here.
Remember its AUSTRALIA
STUDENT VISA APPLICATION just
like we have for other countries.
I guess i may need it soon.
Thanks man. You are doing great
job.

afam4eva: Why is Peckam not on that list?

Why would peckham be on the list? Simply because of the plenty Naija people that have colonised the place?

The list is compiled based on the embarrassing meaning of the towns' names. If you read the list again (thoughtfully, this time around) then you'd realise that names like "Brokenwind" = Fart... Now THAT is embarrassingly funny!

Also "Happy Bottom" is quite a funny name for a town. Are people's backsides always in good spirits in that place, abi why dem give am dat kind name?

Dorset no dey carry last sha grin

@justwise.... eya, sorry!

Most nigerias dont appreciate information that isn't about making money, politics, cars or relationships. I've often wanted to post wierd facts on NL but there isn't a special section for it.

Here's one- 99% people can not lick their elbows but 85% of the people who read this will try!
