Afam seems to jump back on this thread everytime an anti New york post surfaces.

I cant believe london is being to compard to NYC,

Anyway i'm sooo anti-UK, little houses, little, annoying right-hand drive cars, annoying accent, soooo conservative lifestyle and all.

London, used to be cool, no more. In fact, i'll pick my Toronto over London.

If u disagree. . . . bring it on.

Any city can be compared to another - all cities have their fans.

Fidelo:

little houses,

Houses come in all shapes and sizes, both in London and New York. A lot of Nigerians would rather invest in a 8-bedroom house with a swimming pool, despite being a wife, husband and a 2-child family, with no plans for more kids. As for the pool, some can't even swim! The larger house is often a status symbol, and nothing more.

A lot of current cars in the United States are Euro models. The old, massive Bel Airs, Buick Regals, Mercury Mornachs etc are no longer in vogue. The current models reflect their Euro counterparts, unless you're telling me a US Mercedes E320 is larger than a Euro one? How do you define being "conservative"? And accents, Americans actually love the British accent. Hardly a basis for an argument!

I know you're spoken for but I adore you at times Siena. My regards to the Mrs.

@OP,
If you haven't been to either, I struggle to understand why you would want to compare.

I think London overall is a better place. Less congested, nice mix of the old and the new, transportation is as close to excellent as you'd get.
NYC is just like Lagos. A developed Lagos, in fact. The place looks bursting at the seams.

Sienna dear, dont get too emotional, its not a presidential debate.

Of course I assume u've been to both cities. I see UK on ur location so i can feel the bias creeeping in - afterall u're a fan like u said. i dont live in either city but being to both (severally). Maybe u're using a different yardsticks to compare but if its abt being modern then London is way behind.

And please if you can afford the 8-bedroom mansion, please buy it, it dosent bite. And wat do you mean by a lot of nigerians, wat percentage of Nigerians own those big mansions u're even talking about in those 2 citites. So ur British people dont buy mansions.

Hisssssss, I'm out jare.

The fans of New York could not even argue logically, having to result to insults and childish sentiments. AngieFan held up every argument. DeReoladed and Co just kept on refuting and refuting but made no point. Chei it's good to be intelligent small o.

And people who supported London,aren't any of you in a business schools or business men / women. New York fans said NY is the finance capital of the world.  .  . But they were WRONG !
London is actually the financial capital of the world and has been for a long time

As for the OP Afam who hasn't been to either cities, he should just shut up.

I actually prefer NYC by far,and it's my dream city. But I respect people who can argue reasonably and sway me i.e AngieFan and Beaumont. 

AngieFan:

I know you're spoken for but I adore you at times Siena. My regards to the Mrs.

H'ya, Angie, how're you doing?

Will pass on your regards to Mrs Siena.

Lol, I'm hardly being emotional, just factual, as I see it. You're the one actually spitting teeth and blood, try to relax, least you burst a blood vessel, the red light's showing on your pressure gauge.

Nothing wrong with your choice, NYC. It's just the reasons you've posted don't make any sense - small cars? Buy a larger one! Small houses? Buy a palace! And as for modern, I never mentioned that, so where did you get that from?

I was just bored, saw this thread and just hopped in to pass some time and Siena ended up making my time here worthwhile. Thanks for the argument but its time to get busy again.

@ Siena, just try to visit the US this summer, I'm sure you will fall in love - Vegas, Miami, Orlando, Hawaii, Palm Beach, various spots in California and the hated New York - SHEER VARIETY. Compared to Birmingham, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Glasgow - all boring, I would rather go to Paris.

Ok, keep the debate going on. Time to hop out.

Fidelo, I've been to the US a number of times, both my elder brothers live there, I have no restrictions as far as living there's concerned.

You're referring to life in the fast lane. And just noticed - this thread's about London Vs New York, both large cities. How has it become a thread of Britain Vs America? It appears you're confused!

And I fail to see why if one prefers one city over another, the least preferred one is "hated."

I fail to see the relevance of your post, or your insults. As for Adam and De-Reloaded not having left Nigeria, what makes you so sure? And you've left Nigeria, but your mentality hasn't changed? Still raw, and looking to make a fast buck, regardless of how!

Dats true, I'm CONFUSED.

Wont say more. Back to life on the fast lane.

Empire State of Mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

london is an old place they like castle and being traditional, most places in UK looks rundown and dull from outside and inside is just clean and they love antique, newyork is opposite
NEWYORK concrete jugle where dreams are made of lets hear if for NY

London and NYC keh? If you want to be objective you know say London na glorified Lagos man. They're not just on the same level. Even the entire UK as a whole. UK's time has passed. They're living on past glory.

LONDON ALL THE WAY!!!

London and New York are both shit places- I would know. I have just been in both of them for the past month, and they are both fresh in my mind. There are better places than both of them, and way cleaner places uuuuugggh

It's you who should shut up. So wat if i havn't been to either cities. That's why there are books. How come you believe what's in your the holy book(Bible or Quaran). Were you there when it all happened? Another idiot.

You're supposed to experience certain things before comparing, books can only tell you so much 

    there is nothing to compare, london is a shit and the rest of the uk too.(and the british accent LOOOOOL), New york is the best City in the world, USA number one!!!!!!
