As a matter of fact, police got there within 5 minutes but had to wait for armed police officers to arrive. Police officers in UK normally don't carry arms.

@GooseBaba

[size=13pt]No. I'm convinced that whatever knowledge Nigerians have of the US, especially in the village, is that people go abroad and pick money from money trees. A very bad preconceived notion of "everyone who is abroad is wealthy". I'll speak for myself. When we went home, our relatives, particularly those in the village, literally folded their hands and made us do and pay for everything. No hospitality; we stayed in a hotel. There was never any food. If we were lucky, we'd eat twice a day: breakfast at the hotel, and then a snack very late at night, at the hotel. If there was food at my grandfather's compound, it was paid for by my parents and prepared by us. Anything and everything, they demanded that we pay for it. The only person that had her arms open for us was my dad's distant cousin. His siblings got jealous, put their heads together and got four chickens for us to use to cook ofe akwu.

Another example. My parents went home last year to bury my maternal grandfather. Within 10 days of their arrival, they ran out of cash. She and her relatives decided which drinks and such would be provided at the burial. When it was time to pay, they all said they couldn't afford it and looked at my parents.

If anything, I've come to realize that diasporans are making their relatives back home lazy. The kind of lies and sob stories relatives tell to get their loved ones to send cash. A lot of potential for fiction authors in the village. O di egwu.[/size]

Hmm, this is a generalization. Not all diasporans 'spend money anyhow'....on the other hand, if they don't spend money too they'll be insulted and called stingy...

Sagewood: The OP question should be what Nigerians in the diaspora can do to effect positive changes
in the economy, power generation and supply, education, healthcare, security, technology, etc.
The federal, state and local governments should be coordinating the modernization of Nigeria
with the experts living in abroad and in Nigeria.

The biggest barriers to development in Nigeria are: 1) Lack of visionary leaders, 2) Disorganized private sector,
3) Docile and self- centered citizens.

I have not even seen my Nigerian passports since 2005. I will need a Nigerian visa if I decide to visit. I visited for two weeks in December 2005 when I got a land. It is just not conducive enough to be visiting with all these kidnappings, robberies, and so on. I always have my parents to come over. I love to come back but there is nothing positive going on in Nigeria I can point to. I have NTA Plus here and I just shake my head each time I tune to the channel.

Ignorant one, I never in any of post stated my level of education.
As usual, most of you will always assume (Nigerian Disease).
If I'm not helping anyone, why are you people so jealous and wanting us to come home.
You will never make sense. Like I said before, most of you are debased without knowing it.
Looking at peoples behavior back home, it is not wrong to conclude that 80 to 90% of you folks
are mentally unstable

Same experience here.
And this guys will sit on the Internet and insult other people that
are making their mark just because they don't have the opportunity

Check your initial post again. You asked for four Canadians that are richer than Dangote.

Billyonaire: Home? People still live abroad ? No comfortable Nigerian lives abroad.

automaticcarzz: I have been living in the U.S since year 2001. I will be returning home when there is 24hr power supply. When there is good road network. When police are able to respond to calls within 5 minutes. When there is emergency health and fire response squad that respond to emergency within 5 minutes. When there is rule and order. When the police stop brutalizing the people they suppose to protect. When there is true democrcy. When the President stops harassing political opponents. When there is adequate security of lives and properties.

You with the fancy foreign education, its "truly" and not "truely"...

It is not possible to build a country together when your vote does not count. The will of the people is never respected. A country where rigging of election is the order of the day. A country where election results are prepared before the election takes place.

I tire oo. We only holiday abroad and come back home to make bigger mega bucks. Nigeria ROCKS.
