Interesting fact is that most UK prostitutes are actually Eastern European.

Everywhere you look MORE ashewo prostitutes : grin grin grin









NOTE : please disregard some of earlier posting on prostitutes as it has just be pointed out to me in recent posts by Messrs Bassogi and Pantaki that ONE picture shows some people breaking the law by using WRONG number plates and driving on the WRONG side of the road. It also appears these two gentlemen know some of the girls in the pictures personally - especially the naked one with the fat butt in a red room waiting for a bus. The error is regretted grin grin

U are completely mad and hilarious and u must be a writer . I know of only one Naija writer in UK who is able to do sarcasm this well and I hope for the sake of the peeps arguing with u that u are not the guy . Ride on cheesy

oh my GOD, where was i all these while?
@poster
God bless you one hundred times every second!
I dare say those pictures you posted only revealed a speck of the entire picture. Many of us living here are afraid, [naahh, ashamed rather] of revealing the squalor in which we live, so as not to remove the last vestige of ''borrowed pride'' [/b]we parade in the name of [b]''living abroad''. People hear fairy tales of ''developed nations'' and, pronto! they want to come over by all means without a clear plan of what they want to come and do. So they fall prey to all kinds of dehumanising situations that only God can extricte them from. I accept that considerably, condition of living here is better than what obtains in naija [light, transport & communication system, housing etc] but these things are not accesible to just anybody. Recently,  to get a new handset from Carphone Warehouse [/i]for instance, I had to present my passport. Now how many Nigerians here can do that without risking deportation? To those Naijabrits who are working themselves into a frenzy defending ''Queensland'' i can only say you missed the point of the post!
To conclude the truth is this: U.K [or any other developed nation for that matter] is not a [i]paradise,
can never be. If you want to come here, make sure you know what you are coming for and avoid cutting corners to come otherwise you will pay dearly for it, as so many are doing here.

Point of correction sir ; you can't blame me if you chose to think  like an illiterate. If you have read all the comments in this thread from the beginning you will not have arrived at such a misinformed conclusion.

@pafun,

You're a fool!

Instead of trying to do something about Nigeria's dirty image, dirty environment, dirty system of government, dirty schools, and dirty people like you and your ilk, you're stupidly trying to make other nations look bad. You're a complete joke and no Nigerian will take you seriously, after all most Nigerians still want to visit "Ugly Britain" and never come back to Nigeria! Ode!

If you're angry about your fortune wherever you are (I'm sure not in Naija), then go back to "Beautiful Nigeria" and leave "Ugly %$@#!##". Nonsense slowpoke!

We're talking about how to develop Naija, and this charlatan is wasting bandwidth posting pictures of the other nations far ahead and much more developed than Nigeria in a pitiful attempt to boost his battered psyche! Mumu!

Tomorrow, you'll start making plans for your sibling to go study in "Ugly Britain". Nama!

As a matter of fact your "comment" was very abusive :

Switzerland funds TV ads to deter African migrants
http://www.haaba.com/news-story/switzerland-funds-tv-ads-deter-african-migrants

GENEVA, Nov 25, 2007 (AFP) - Switzerland is funding TV adverts to be shown in Nigeria and Cameroon to try to deter would-be illegal immigrants from coming to the country, the International Organisation for Migration confirmed Sunday.

The paper published screen stills of the advert, showing an African migrant phoning his father from Switzerland and assuring him all is well, while in reality he is forced to live on the street, chased by the police and beg for a living.

The IOM has also produced similar adverts in Senegal and Niger, funded by Spain and the European Union respectively, he added.

Such adverts are not a 'panacea' but a 'useful tool' in the fight against people smuggling, Chauzy said.

Switzerland's hard-right justice minister Christoph Blocher supports the campaign. He told SonntagsBlick that 'we must show the Africans that Switzerland is not paradise'.

likewise Spain is funding similar ads.


Nobody is saying people should not travel. But nowhere is paradise, as far as I know. In any case, some of these diaspora Nigerians seem to have left their sense of humor behind at the embassy in Nigeria after getting their visa?

Why are we working ourselves into a frenzy?

Haba, some of the sentiments expressed on this thread are frightening. If this was a real live (face2face) discussion, someone would have gotten seriously hurt.

Jeez, na another man country we dey defend like this? - Wow, seriously, wow.
If we used some of this passion to demand responsible governance from our leaders in Nigeria, I'm sure we could be heading in a more positve direction.

What you fail to understand is there is an ugly side to every country on this earth. The fact remains that Britain is still one of the richest and most powerful nations on this earth. The fact that most Africans would rather rather live in "Ugly Britain" than in Africa tells you all you need to know. Please let's not talk of dirty Africa. Instead of putting down Britain you should be taking pictures of Nigeria which will put all the pictures you have posted here to shame and ask why after all these years, billions in oil revenue, nothing has changed.

Am sure Pafun didnt start this thread becos he wants to disregard Britain or the queen or you all making your living there in Britain, he is only trying to make it clear and known to those fustrated, jobless and sick nigerians here that they can make their homes better if they decide to start making life straight for themselves and others here, becos the abroad every nigeria dreams of going is not so better than 9ja.

People stayed back in USA and other countries to developed that place, so we can also as well stay back if there is no reason to travel abroad to develop our own country. If we all keep running away from the country, how can we all join hands and develop our country.

Fellow Niaja abroad, even if you live a billion years in another's man country, you can never take your root away from u.

I love being a niaja, not proud of certain things i see but i will atleast contribute my own quota to developing those around me for the best.
