will u will pay my bills if i move to UK Tongue Tongue, am a freeloader just to let you know Cheesy Cheesy

Na wa ooooooo am going to UK to have my babies ahah free money ;D Grin

Well American does not give people money they rather give out WIC check( is money to buy food for the babies)

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!!!! Grin


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? Shocked  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! Cheesy

I say stay over there--for we do not want to see any of you over here!!!!!  Lazy colonial mental drones!!!!! Wink

 Beasts of England


Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,UK
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 Ireland,UK
Beasts of evert land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the golden future time.

Cool
 

  UNA BE REAL BEASTS!!!!!   Cheesy Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy Grin Cheesy Grin 

For the longest time--you have been known as beasts in history!  Colonial oppressive Beasts---even oppressing yourselves!

AWON ANIMAL FARM!!!!   Change for the better--Mad Cows!!!!!

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.

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."

@ poster

I'm a Nigerian that was born in the Uk but grew up in Naija, now i reside in the UK, so i believe i'm in the perfect position to talk about the Uk and Nigeria.
Personally i feel your blowing a lot of hot air over nothing. Nigeria may not be the best place on earth but we all love it the way it is.

As accommodating and nice as the UK is its got its own issues, i for one do not feel British even though i was born here, u must know that they are a million and one other black people with a britich passport, does that stop the police from treting u differently? Does that stop racism against u, Wether u have a British passport or not, once u stand next to a Nigerian or Ghanian citizen, your all looked upon as the sme kindda people.

See being Nigerian and living in Nigeria completely cuts out racism, at least your treated like e full member of the nation and not a 2nd class citizen. Having said that we have our own issues like tribalism and corruption.

No place is perfect and i can understand your love for the Uk (I love the UK myself but can't forget my homeland) but don't walk around goin on like the UK is the best place on earth. You sound like u want all Nigerians to bow down to u because your English (Typical English mentality, i can't blame u afterall your British). You should take a cue from these so-called Nigerians uve met and learn to respect every country even if they are not the richest on earth

For the record i actually prefer the states

Ah right! I know where I feel at home and unfortunately it is not Nigeria as much as I would like it to be. I don't want or need for any Nigerian to bow down to me, rather, I would like some to stop deluding themselves because I keep on hearing the same statement "Nigeria is better than the UK"all the time from them trying to put me down! Thanks for your input anyway!

I think you are all missing the point  Huh Huh

The fact is that anywhere has to be better than Nigeria to live in. Even a cesspit  Lips sealed Lips sealed

People blame corruption for their woes. The truth of the matter is that a country is only what it's people make it. The Nigerians that live in other nations are not there because they have been displaced, they are there because they prefer it to Nigeria.

You have to admit, if you look at the filth, squalor and crime in a place like Lagos, anywhere is better  Lips sealed Lips sealed

You forgot to admit that about 30% of people that are stay in Lagos are still there because they can't get visas to go out, take a 4:00am trip to the Americam Embassy and you'll understand. Forget American embassy go to the South African one and you'll see

@almondpie and numpty heads!

Ye are but little mortal fools, with mashed bananas for brains  Tongue
Let me educate you. 
England[i][/i]
Free health care for all-yes!
Nigeria-no!
America-no!

free education for all
free further education
benefits/money for the poor
free money/benefits for the disabled
free money/benefits for the unemployed
free/money benefits for the old

equal opportunities for all, non discrimination laws,
police do not take money from people anywhere!

sooooo many foreigners are always trying to come to england-why do you think???

Our housing is far superior-we even give homes to the homeless and guess what they don't have to pay!

We have a permanent supply of electricity-gas, no generators needed here!

we also have free dentists to look after our pearly white 'rabbit teeth'. Our wonderful temperate climate allows us to enjoy the wind blowing through our golden locks-and the sea breezes gently brushing against our sun kissed bronzed and rosy cheeks, even our sun kissed freckles-ahhh Grin

England oh England, how we love you so,

I have one apartment, 5 acres of land, 6 horses, one dog who is gorgeous and has her own clothes and bedroom, stunning car 7.5 tonne lorry for my horse transport with luxury living accommodation inside. Fantastic job, plus own family shop, oh but i now only have to work 16 hours a week, and you call America the land of opportunity?HuhHuh

And i started with nothing!!!!

now don't be haters please, we conquered the world remember, we are great, in our greatness Tongue


and to make life perfect, i have a wonderful, gorgeous Nigerian hubby mmmmmmmmm

you may say, he only married you for your money, and i will say, well, i only married him for his body, and boy oh boy, it is good!

but i am am a stunner though!
