Cool4ny

Within one year of coming to London i have been burgled 3 times ( don't think i live in peckham or newscross or abbeywood or oldkent or walworthroad) i live in surrey (if u knw what i mean). The crime in London is very very high and all these young kids believe they can do whatever they like. In Nigeria, them no born u make u insult elder, in London it is normal thing.

Hi Cool4ny let get some facts straight no speed reading. The above is what you said and my response to that was :

If on the other hand you live in one of the posh areas Surrey then I'll would say you are just plain unlucky you might need special prayers!!!

@Cool4ny

If you think i need prayer living a posh area, u must be sick. I have paid my dues and i am proud to be one of the Nigerians living large in UK [/b]and i am not sorry if you are living in peckham or east street.

Prayer in question is what I would recommend to anyone who lives in a good neighbourhood and has been attached 3 times in one year. You must agree that's a very high! It a pity you are experiencing all that in Surrey. Its usually very safe ( Have lived in Surrey for 4+ years now) what a shame ,

You have paid 'your dues' good for you but do relax on the abusive words we don't have to agree. You know I am not sick otherwise what would that say about you communicating with me? I believe you are decent or would have learnt to operate on a decent level. Lets keep it civilised

Another fact Abbey National PLC (A Bank) about 10 years Closed its Norwood [b]( Surrey)
branch because it was constantly being robbed and no staff wanted to work there the Briton branch remained opened and probably is still opened today.

@labiyemmy:

no where is safe - in the last 10 months of this year in the UK - there had been cases of gun/knife murders of underage children by underage children - black to black - white to white - there had been numerous cases of heist at banks, jewellery shops, bullion vans, etc/ Two months ago - a Ghanian doctor was killed in her own car on her way to work and right in fron of her house - the killers are yet to be caught - every day i go on the streets of London - i see police inscriptions reporting the location of an attempted murder or murder outrightly - i see on the streets where flowers are laid at locations where someone has been shot - at open streets you see police insigna asking for help in solving a murder - people get killed on the bus, stabbed or shot - two months ago, a Nigerian/British boxer was shot at a night club for asking some folks to obey the no smoking law - every day i watch crime fighters and see different types of crimes on a daily basis - last year - a man killed five prostitutes in Norfolk - this year - a man killed a mother and two children, this year, a Mum killed her own daughter - how many do you want to count or report. Do you know why people walk with their heads straight on the streets of UK? because they don't know who is carrying a gun - a knife or a weapon like that.

People get stabbed for merely looking at each other offensively - common - hook up to SKY news daily and see if a day passes without a report of someone killed, stabbed or mugged. Nigeria may not be as safe - but please don't glorify the UK as if its crime free and Nigeria is the only crime prone country.

This year - a call was made to the youths to hand over the weapons they have - knife/guns - did you know how many was recovered? In terms of the terrorist issues Nigeria is still safe - how many attempted bombings of tube and airports and night clubs have been reported in London alone this year? Can you count? It sure s a lot. My brother - to say London is safe is saying what is not it.

Someone said there is no case armed robbers dressing as police in the UK, that is a big lie - there are numerous cases reported like that - how many police men had been murdered in the UK in this year alone - common - face the truth. I live in London and park my car on the road - on two occassions in a year, my car had been vandalised, broken into, comon - face the fact.

Talk about children getting loss - talk about prostitution - u get prostitutes for pennies in the UK - talk about drugs- openly and discreetly - talk about underage sex, pregnancies and abortion - talk about armed robbery - its reported daily in the UK - u will be living in deception if you think the scale is not the same as it is in Nigeria - or worse. People steal anything to fuel their drug problem - hey - its all there. Go to clubs and pubs and bars - are there no fights daily, are their no drunkards daily on the street ready to fight you and viciously attack?

And worse still - the things your Nja brothers do i the UK will scare you - credt card fraud - stealing - robbery - etc. Well - u will be afraid when the polce tells you these statistics.

At least, most of the killers are found n prosecuted. But in nigeria, killers and armed robbers are on the loose. Un UK there are CCTV's everywhere, u at least feel secured.
When in naija did I ever get the courage to go out at 2pm or 12pm even? never.

Before I came to the UK, I witnessed a live robbery on an expressway. Small boys on bikes with guns, wtf?
i remember then, there was always a robbery on volks, badagry expressway everyday.

so wtf?

Many reasons to be hopeful as each new day brings forth a way to make progess,improve on things.
We are all we've got afterall,and there's nothing like home sweet home.
Here are some reasons why I think Nigeria is not to be compared to Uk:
1) Uk is older
2) The Britain colonized us
3) Uk is a world power
4) The United Kingdom is one nation
5) It has a powerful economy

Why do Nigerians like lying? No place like home? Why is your location still reading London? What did you taste in UK? What did you see in UK? Let those of us who have not been to the UK also know, please tell us.

If you love Nigeria so much, and you are tired of tasting too much frustration in the UK, go back home! If truly you are indeed in the UK sef. cheesy

I knew you would be gullible enough to come up with this response of yours. I simply made a rejoinder to your posts seeking for objective reasons as to why your idiosyncrasy is configured to such inanity.

You took my gambit and as well noted with your postings you retorted with with the only language you know best--insults.

Why is that whenever you posts, imbeciles always shore up your postings Does that  preclude or occlude you from reasoning objectively or you rather wallow in the position of seeing yourself as the headmaster of nairalands congregation of imbeciles? grin

I simply asked for points to validate your statement not insults.

I must remark here that not everyone who has facility to the internet is actually an adult. And not every one obviously on this forum understands what it means to articulately state facts.

There are times that the only language of reasoning to a ninny is by display of tantrums. That also can be seen with even adults.

I simply asked for facts or reasonings to his statements, which I found rather whimsical to someone who claims his place of abode is in the UK, only to be retorted with an insult.
