@ E-baby, Of course . . . Every country has got its own problems and headaches but i just dont like the way Nigerians bash UK and label it as shyte. Why would any ninny wake and spew UK is just like Nigeria? On what grounds. I am yet to see a single pot-hole on UK roads since i have been here . . . .Electricity, social security, basic amenities etc are all top draw. U can sleep with all your eyes closed without thinking about mosquitoes and midnight marauders . . . . . Its just nauseous when people spew via their butt-crack to bash the UK. Anyways . . . .stop the beef with Elo-Sela. Dont letz turn this into anutha Vietnam war or Basra showdown. Meanwhile, how's life in the States? When are u relocating to the UK? |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by Ebaby2: 1:27am On Dec 15, 2007 |
LOL UK is not for me, I will rather stay in here |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by EloSela(f): 1:29am On Dec 15, 2007 |
@Jackal Please, na play I follow um play. But then again I be Naija woman at heart too so if throw the first punch I go scatter u, Now play we dey do for here now no be so? Tell her to lighten up sha and not take things too seriously. We are mere pixels hia |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by Jackal(m): 1:32am On Dec 15, 2007 |
@ E-baby, We shall drag u here whether u like it or not. The only complain here is the cost of living which is well over the roof but then . . .its the 2nd most expensive city in the world. As per the shopping aspect u mentioned earlier . . . .It depends where u do your shopping. You can't go wrong going to Harrods/Selfridges apart from your pockets getting drained . . . . The same GUCCI/PRADA/LV u see on Madison Avenue/Paris/Italy is the same with the one here . . . .The difference is the price. So, its very true UK residents could get hysterical coming to the USA to shop ONLY because things are relatively cheaper in the US than the UK. A pair of Timbz is $80 in the USA but its £120($240) here . . . . .Isn't that amazing? |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by scambater(m): 1:32am On Dec 15, 2007 |
This thread is up to six pages long, what a pile of dog dropping if you ask me. Elo sela you really know how to get people going. |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by Ebaby2: 1:45am On Dec 15, 2007 |
Jackal:na wa oooooo who said Timberland are $80 those are the fake ones jare Well yea to expensive , you see why i can't live there Dollars has not value unlike before |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by Jackal(m): 2:09am On Dec 15, 2007 |
@ E-baby, U sound like a rich girl so come to the UK. Honestly, Timbz(authentic) go as low as $80-$100 in the USA and thats just astounding compared to what we pay for it here.£ UK rocks if u know how to go about it . . . . I mean, the minimum wage here is £5.50 per hr and the highest in America is about $8(£4)!!!!!!!!!!!! It means i dont have to work 4 jobs like most peops do in America to make ends meet So cousin, how many jobs do u work in a week? |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by Ebaby2: 2:27am On Dec 15, 2007 |
Rich nah but we live comfortable I don't have a job ohhhh , but will get one after returning back from vacation since am running out of money |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by Jackal(m): 2:36am On Dec 15, 2007 |
@ E-baby, Thats what we are talking about. The UK will actually take care of your pockets if u move over. A Russian woman was here some weeks ago because she was having complications with her unborn babies . . . Russia couldn't handle the kizzack so they sent her down to the UK and she had QUINTUPLETS. Meanwhile, If she was residing in UK . . . .Her benefits would have worked out up to £8000($16,000) a week PLUS a 6 bedroom house!! Thats social security at the very best . . . . .Do people get paid like that in the States? Why not move over, marry here and PRAY FERVENTLY u deliver QUINTUPLETS. In that way, u wont have to ever worry again about working . . . Thats about $800,000 dollars a year . . . . I am not sure your George Bush earns as much as that. |

@rikkyjen The Rochester Warrior has suffered a nervous breakdown due to the impending visit by of Ze Blues to the Emirates.Can't see him coming online unless in another guise. So what if you are 300m? We are talking of relative standard of living. What the f*ck are you doing following "soccer" anyway?Don't you have better sports to watch like NASCAR,Major League Doping. . . sorry Major League Baseball.Leave the "Beautiful Game" to UK residents |

I'm half Nigerian, I have never been there so its hard to say if its like England. But I'm half english and I work every now and again in the USA. And for me England, despite its bad points, is so much better, British food is not great but american food is terrible! But one thing is clear - the english are more equal when it comes to race, the americans still struggle a lot with it. Don't ever forget that the USA had apartied style segregation and opression within living memory Black-White segregation is declining fairly consistently for most metropolitan areas in the US. Despite these pervasive patterns, many changes for individual areas are small.[13] Thirty years after the civil rights era, the United States remains a residentially segregated society in which Blacks and Whites inhabit different neighborhoods of vastly different quality.[14][15] Land of the free? don't believe it. England is a free nation (for now) |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by Dreloaded(f): 10:05pm On Dec 15, 2007 |
ss_collins: This has got to be a joke. I have nothing against the UK unlike the others but to even say your food is better is just hilarious Here's a Tip: STOP PUTTING BAKED BEANS ON EVERYTHING. IT'S GROSS. /End rant. |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by sscollins: 10:16pm On Dec 15, 2007 |
I'm not getting drawn into a food fight (despite it sounding fun) as I already said british food isn't great, but last time I was in the states I was desperate to get on the plane home just for the food! Beans? thats very working class. Best food in the world? Japan - everything there seems to taste good. |

Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by almondjoy(f): 8:41am On Dec 16, 2007 |
God Save Our King George Bush! Please oh! You wretched Brits should ask the House of Commons over there to help refund your money for the HSMP visas you all are struggling to get over there. You are making noise here while you are being colonized all over again in that dreary grey Uk of yours. The only reason most of you are so vexed is because--you can never rise above what you currently are in the UK---a bunch of snow shovellers! ---Ugly people! Please go and get braces for your teeth that shatters all "tumblers"!!!!!! Talking about Iraq, only 50 soldiers you have in Basrah and we will not hear word? You cowards keep pulling out and running like the lazy colonialists you are. When the heat of battle beckons you all are hiding in Iraqi pubs in drunken stupor and you say you doing what in Basrah? Who sent you dummies into Iraq in the first place? Is it not our King---GWB--you slaves of America! There is nothing you guys know how to do that gets recognition. When a yankeenized Nigerian arrives in Nigeria--with accolades of course--you guys are just like the airport orderlies in Nigeria despite the fact we arrived on the same flight. You guys still look like you are from Otta Farms! Except for your ever draining sinuses with chronic rhinitis--from cold weather--with two sticks of Vicks Vapor sticking out of your nostril--no one will ever belief that you are not from Eko Bridge!!! We on the other hand arrive in style---smelling and looking every bit Yankee! Dirty people! Most of you still use your "Ghana must Go" bags you used in carrying stock fish from Nigeria to your UK! Most of you remain unmarried for over 20 years till one old diaper wearing woman or man pities your sorry behinds! 419 people!!! Return Ibori's loot--awon Oles! D-reloaded: Tell me about it!!! IN-I-NNIT!!! I say the food is so horrible that I have to be on some serious laxatives for about a month to empty the poison those mad cow disease breeders sell in restaurants and grocery stores! Please stay in the UK!!!! We do not want lazy colonial--snow shovelling goons polluting our interstate highways and malls with shitty graffiti smears ok? We do not want to have anything to do with your colonial mentality--You are not welcome here. The only place we expect to see you is in Iraq! Lazy "ODU" oafs!!!!! |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by Dreloaded(f): 8:48am On Dec 16, 2007 |
ss_collins: Not really. Baked Beans is popular in homeless shelters and soup kitchens aka white trash food. Not that I hate beans or anything but adding it to everything is sheer madness. Spotted Dick anyone? |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by almondjoy(f): 8:53am On Dec 16, 2007 |
E-baby: Please do not even try it. That so called free health care is for the birds! The hospitals are just like those in Nigeria--cemetaries! One of my darling sisters in law has had her children there--but also had one of her babies here in the US. She almost lost her life twice with the shitty care she received--twice I say!!!-----Those dirty pigs that do not bathe almost infected her with all kinds of nosocomial germs she did not go in there with in the first place. When taking a bath is a taboo!!!! She never forgets the care she got over here. She always says--there is no place like America!!!!! We do not cut corners for health care over here--while you pinch pennies and hold corpses hostage--till you have collected every penny!!! STINGY LONDON FOGGERS!!!! Talking about AIDS in US?---Don't even start. Treat your Mad Cow Disease first--before you talk of AIDS and drugs! Your kids over there are not on drugs? Yet as soon as they open their mouths with their rabbit teeth--that soccer crazed hooligan accent--shows how retarded they are. At least your baby mama drama is worse than we have here with all those strollers we see on the Buses and tube stations! I say stay over there--for we do not want to see any of you over here!!!!! Lazy colonial mental drones!!!!! |

[size=20Pt]Beasts of England [/size] Beasts of England, beasts of Beasts of evert land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings Of the golden future time. Soon or late the day is comming, Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown, And the fruitful fields of England Shall be trod by beasts alone. Rings shall vanish from our noses, And the harness from our back, Bit and spur shall rust forever, Cruel whips no more shall crack. Riches more than mind can picture, Wheat and barley, oats and hay, Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzles Shall be ours upon that day. Bright will shine the fields of England, Purer shall its waters be, Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes On the day that sets us free. For that day we all must labour, Though we die before it break; Cows and horses, geese and turkeys, All must toil for freedom's sake. Beasts of England, beasts of Beasts of evert land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings Of the golden future time. [size=20pt] UNA BE REAL BEASTS!!!!! [/size] For the longest time--you have been known as beasts in history! Colonial oppressive Beasts---even oppressing yourselves! [size=20Pt] AWON ANIMAL FARM!!!!

Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by eldee(m): 8:54pm On Dec 23, 2007 |
This is not a beefing matter, I don't give a f**k bout Gordon Brown or Cameron. . . it's really simple for me, The UK is a place where you can retire on benefits. Take a look at this simple scenario: When I was bout 16, I was getting EMA's(Education Mainenance Allowance) : £30 weekly Reason: Attending classes regularly EMA Bonus: £200 per term Reason: Getting average results At 18, I settled for Job-seekers Allowance: £80 weekly Reason: I was working under 19hrs per week My School fees from High School to College: Free Reason: Dunno but I just earn cash by going to school. University Fees: £3000 but you choose if u want to pay now or till after schooling. My office assistant job pays £10 per hr just for smiling at people that come in and typing emails. Why would I go and work my ass off n some 'God's own country' For goodness sake girls get paid not to have safe sex, why would I care bout them dudes in Iraq when I could easily get a minimum of £6 an hour working in Emirates when I need urgent cash. Bout the food what american food do you want to compare to the famous british-breakfast. With the dozens of chinese and african restaurants here i don't see any reason why you'll be forced to eat anything u don't like. |
Re: The UK Is Just Like Nigeria? by toshmann(m): 10:17pm On Dec 23, 2007 |

Five US citizen claim Asylum in the UK Five US citizens are living off benefits in Britain as they try to claim asylum. The extraordinary situation was revealed by a whistleblower today who claims it shows just what a easy target the UK has become. Rory Clarke, 34, says he believes only five per cent of asylum seekers are genuine. But those waiting for applications to be processed get immediate free healthcare, free accommodation and £35 a week in benefits. And when applications are turned down - the five Americans will almost certainly be rejected - they can immediately ask for legal aid to fight their appeal. Mr Clarke says he was so shocked by abuses of the system that he resigned from his job at the Government's National Asylum Support Service. He said: "Britain is seen as such a soft touch that poor people from countries such as America are even coming here now. "A couple of years ago I met two black guys from the States who were over here because they thought they could get a better standard of living. One was from Ohio and the other from Kansas. "They claimed asylum because they said they were racially discriminated against at home. But they freely admitted they were here for the healthcare and accommodation. It is an absolute joke. They could have been there for up to five years before their application was processed." Daily Mail dang man must survive! awoof no get nationality |
