How many Ghanians or Malians does the Nigerian police have

Free them jare!

Steady on! Should Malians and Ghanaians give birth in Nigeria, those children are Nigerians, so you can`t treat them as foreigners.

The article is misleading in many ways. It`s true that Nigerians do menial jobs, but that is just one side of the story. Whether it`s in law, medicine and broadcasting, Nigerians are well represented; so is not just about shop assistants and security guards. Oh yes, Yoruba would be about 70% of the Nigerians in London if not more than that. To be fair to the British, they need to be tough on immigration because everybody wants to be in London, partly because of the language, but mostly for economic reasons. But the most important reason is the hype and propaganda. I have always believed that your European journey is incomplete until you`ve been to London. I can say without any fear of contradiction that it`s the most un-equal society in Western Europe when you compare and contrast the standard of living with other EU countries. The poor mostly live in one area while the rich are concentrated in another, even if not exclusively so. Then whatever you buy in London, and I mean virtually everything, is going to be twice the price paid in the rest of Europe, apart from Switzerland. And oh, pest-infested flats are not difficult to come by so are the ones with leaking roofs. Looking for something decent would mean that almost 70% of your wages would be going on housing. Don`t panic, their Prime Minister has one house he is renting out in Notting Hill, just be ready to pay him £1,800 per week, while your salary is likely to be less than £1000 per month. There is no country in Western Europe that would have a Chief Executive that is collecting salaries 128 times that of his/her average staff, but that is the case with most of the FTSE 100 companies in the City.
All in all, it`s a country worth visiting; because it helps you to know what leadership is all about.

You say the average pay for a CEO in England is 124 times that of the employee? That's nothing. Here in the US, CEOs, on average, are paid 300 times the wages of the mid-level employee

@ATERI, what do you think of Saudis and Arabs buying up properties and renting them out to people? Is it helpful?

To be honest with you, the houses those guys are buying are mostly in Knightsbridge area, so they don`t bother the common man. Don`t forget that most of them buy those property in collaboration with London political elites; they rarely buy without local partners.

Ok but generally do you think people who invested in some of the estates in Nigeria can afford some of the areas for investment purposes for the long run?

Once you get to America, that is another kettle of fish entirely. You know I was comparing London with the rest of Europe. One of the reasons why London power elites feel uncomfortable with the EU is that the European Union is the only obstacle stopping them from becoming America. I described the two of them as an apartheid society, but the degree still varies. But the way things are going, it won`t be long before London catches up with America. London graduates now leave school with over £40,000 debts on their necks, so sooner or later London would catch up.

Oh absolutely!! Russians and Nigerians are very much present in Knightsbridge. I mention Knightsbridge because that is the most popular place for Arab billionaires along with Kessington and Chelsea as well as Fulham-these are some of the most expensive areas in London. But if you are not a miliionaire you can move away from zone 1 to other zones, zone 3 or 4 for instance. So the further you go the cheaper. Your bank balance determines where you invest.

That's why USA is the only country in the world.

Here in America, no one cares if you're an illegal immigrant, you will still get a job (some type of job), you kids will still go to school for free.

You can be living illegally in the USA for 100 years, no one cares, the police will not ask you to show your papers, but don't commit any crime because that's what will get you deported.

God bless America

Why won't you get a social security ?? Are you a tourist ??
Only tourists are the people who don't get social security cards.

Especially a woman ?? What does that mean ?? America is not sexist.
Are women not human ??
