I live in London. I mus say, ir's full of Nigerians. A only street could be full of Nigers. There is a street in Thamesmead , where all d even numbers r Nigerian own properties and they are all Yorubas lol

London is among the world's most famous city and its standing in the 21st century is still unrivalled among other European countries. I flew into London in the 90's enroute to Naija, and to be frank, I wasnt sold on the city. Brown painted houses and their dreary weather are not exactly what would lure me into staying there permanently. And for those who might not know, London drivers drive on the left lane.
P/S: Naija people plenty for London, but their population pales in comparison to those of Indians.

I'd rather live in a place, teeming with Nigerians, than dwell in one that has few Nigerians. The more we are, the merrier it is.  Wink

not really impressed.

If they could bring a little law and order to Lagos; there would be no difference between London and Lagos.

Also, I was disappointed; I could not see what they did with the colonial loots from Africa; the U-train were not reliable.

I was in tube from Liverpool str to Wemble and it was like riding in Molue from Lagos Island to Iyana Ipaja: standing, sweating  and praying that it does not brake down in those dark-tunnels,

But I don't like the Cab Drivers' saying: Thanks Mate in their tick accent!

Comparing Lagos and London to me sounds very crazy. If you dont like London, pls stay back in your Country. Nobody forced you lot to come over. Ppl complain about the cold, my brother just try Canada, then you'll cherish the english weather. As for Paris, it's beautiful no doubt, but language barrier for me, takes the shine of the place away.
Pls nobody shld bombard me with questions oh! Just saying my bit. Cheers mate!

yea yea, it sucks but londoners dont mind! you hear too much yoruba, no probs - it gives us a sense of belonging. Canada, OMG, boring as hell, even with the big cars and houses, wide roads etc. I no dig the place. The weather self na wa. Missed London like crazy when i visited Canada and was delighted when i left. to sum it all, London rocks!!

Uk as a country brings out the best in you, Its a level playing field for career growth compared to Nigeria.

No matter ow bad it is here, you'll still survive, If  you're good at something,your chances of utilising the potentials is very high.

Houses? though small, still nice depends on your kindda aparty.

I like d place sha, very organised, advanced and orientating.

no place like home sha o

i have been to london, nothing much there, but they have good tourist attraction like madame tussauds, big ben,london eye, the museum, the dungeon. yea small roads, cars parked mainly on the roads, small houses and the most annoying part to me; too many blacks especially nigerians and ghanians. somalians are also increasing. please stop comparing london to lagos because i cant remember seeing potholes on their roads and i cant recollect and power outage like lagos and nigeria generally.
