Mr Trailblazer quit this overflogged issue. Do you know it's easier for a camel to pass through the eyes of a needle than for a non Ibo to be a common market trader association chairman in Ochanja, Ogbete and Aba markets? The Igbos have a fairer deal outside than they have given to others in their own land even in the same Lagos. The Lagos issue was to me an unfortunate one off incidence which many wants to capitalize on for political gains.

See the way NL's are claiming the woman as if Nigeria had any influence in her path to success. Remember if she was brought up in the usual Nigerian mob mentality, she would never have reached the heights she has today.

we nigerians are happy for this, but can we support a foreigner to contest and win in our own country??
even to vote a candidate from a different tribe is a war talk-less of a different country.

the other day, people of Gabon are rioting because their president is an adopted child from another country.

we are our own worst enemies.

They aren't really Nigerians but of Nigerian descent.

They are Britons. And it is their right.

Question of the day:

Who is a Nigerian?

People are winning where it matters while some people are busy fighting over some dirty place not fit for human habitation in the real sense of it.
Oh I guess it is ok since they have the support of a dirty, smelly old hag leading because he is one eyed king among the intellectually blind subjects.

NATIONAL Health Service (NHS) manager Kate Osamor has become the fourth Nigerian-born elected member of the British House of Commons after being elected as the MP for Edmonton in north London yesterday. Representing the Labour Party who had a generally bad night across the country, Ms Osamor was declared the winner in the north London seat with 25,388 votes. Her closest rival, Gonul Daniels of the Conservative Party ended up with 9,969 votes, making it a comfortable win for Ms Osamor.

She now joins fellow Labour MPs Chi Onwurah representing Newcastle Central, who was returned with 19,301 votes and Chuka Umunna who was returned in Streatham with 26,474 votes. Helen Grant, the sole Nigerian MP in the Conservative Party is still awaiting the results of her election in Maidstone and the Weald. Ms Osamor, who has worked for the NHS for 15 years, is a trade union activist, a women's charity trustee and a member of the Labour Party's National Executive Committee. Martha Osamor, Ms Osamor's mother is a former Haringey councillor.

In February this year, Ms Osamor was selected as the Labour Party's parliamentary candidate for the Edmonton constituency after stiff contest with fellow Nigerian diasporan Kate Anolue. She made funding the NHS, opposing its fragmentation and standing up to government cuts the centrepiece of her campaign. Despite this victory for the Labour Party in Edmonton, nationwide, the party appears to have had a disastrous result. It is expected to lose about 50 seats in Scotland alone to the Scottish National Party, who now have 56 members of parliament and in England, has made zero net gains against the Conservative Party.

Prime minister David Cameron looks set to be return to Downing Street with a working majority this time as his coalition partners the Liberal Democrats got more or less obliterated. Leading Liberal Democrats like Danny Alexander, Vince Cable, Simon Hughes and Charles Kennedy all lost their seats in what was a disastrous night for the party.

when will Hausa man or yoruba man or urhobo man or Edo man be allowed to contest election across the East of Niger?
Hausa man born in my town won councilor 1999.
Igbo men always contest elections in Lagos and Abuja.....

I THINK IS GOOD FOR IGBOS TO ENCOURAGE FOREIGNERS IN THEIR POLITICS EITHER BY ELECTION OR APPOINTMENT TO ENHANCE INTEGRATION AND 1-NIGERIA.
SE is the only zone with 100% Indigen running their politics since 1960.

Great observation.
However I do not think Nigerians also call Britain a "no man's land" either or do you think they do

Meanwhile somewhere in a jungle nation in west Africa, a frog eyed cretin like governor who was just recently (s)elected to the senate ordered the sack of all non-indigenes from his state's civil service. The sacked workers included his fellow tribesmen from neighbouring states and even people married to indigenes of his state. Even the long serving civil servants who started working before the state was split into two were sacked and asked to go to their new state's civil service.

And at the end of the day, some 'smart' fellow comes to tell me the problem of the SE is Yoruba or Awusa. undecided

the Africans didn't vote against the interest of the queen nor seek to even know it to vote against. how many foreigners are doing well in IBO land? Lagos has IBO commissioners so name any top person in the east that is not IBO?

Have you ask your bigoted self why the Igbo states have not produce 2 to 3 commissioners or a mere Personal assistants from other part of the country over the years while other regions can say that we have made so so MR Chidi or Ikechukwu a commissioner or PA in our regions? C'mon man!!!! Life is give and take.

If Igbo people could reject their own sons and daughters simply cos of party affiliation to other regions in the country, then d hope a Yoruba man or Hausa man to become anything in SE region politically is long long gone.

Have you notice how Igbos operate their area of domination in any market? Aluko Dangote monopoly in cement industry is a child play compare to what i ll call Othersphobia. They ll do everything to frustrate you out of d market to pave way for their kinsmen.


Pls and pls, come here and tell an English man or Scottish man that London and Edinburgh are no man's land and wait for the consequences.

Have you ever listen to these Nigerian-British politicians' speeches before? if you have not, pls do so. You need to listen to them and see how much they tried to sell themselves to the British community as one of them. You ll see them emphasising how much they love their country-Britain and how much they cherish and appreciate the cultural values of their country.

Let me give you another clue as to what is happening here. Did you notice that it's only the ones that were born and raised in UK with British cultural values that were elected? Did you see a typical Nigeria man with his Nigeria accent contesting for position of MP? No. Why? Cos the moment you speak with Nigeria accent, you ll be seen as an immigrant.

Honestly speaking, No region in Nigeria wants an immigrant child to rule over them.

Rule your region and I ll rule mine.

The queen didn't threaten anyone with the lagoon but the British must (and I can bet my life on this) have called her a stranger.

I know this because I live in the UK and I see it everyday. Just a few days ago, a UKIP representative was suspended because he said he'll shoot a 2nd generation immigrant in the eye if the contestant wins the position they contested for.

So, it happens here and almost everywhere albeit wrong.
Re: Kate Osamor Elected As MP For Edmonton In Uk ( Photos) by chynergy1(m): 1:59pm On May 08, 2015
4 Nigerians, you can imagine other Africans, other blacks and other races that must have contested.

The Igbo are always crying about unfair treatment when they are in other regions, even though they are being treated well, whereas they don't allow foreigners to thrive in their midst.

Political, cultural and socially they try to stiffle foreigners.

Owing lands in the East as a foreigner is very hard. They will hardly sell to you. Though you can get it through proxies, which most times results in legal tussle.

Their markets is another thing.

There is a prevailing condition that precludes them from the market. It's complicated. Ibos are well loved, assimilated and welcomed wherever they go. Nobody disturbs their business and never discriminated. The same in the north except only when there is religious crisis they tend to suffer.

Far far far from it. I'm not trying to lead any tribal war, rather I'm actually denouncing the tribal wars we witness here everyday as being a manifestation of foolishness and myopia.

I was only pointing out the way in which we watch our leaders commit blunders but instead of cautioning or criticising them, we resort to blaming our neighbours for all our problems even when the real source of the problem stares us in the face. Now we are celebrating Nigerians being elected leaders in other nations but down here in our homes, we cant even tolerate our closest neighbours that speak the same language as we do.

She never promised an office of a queen to Nigerian indegens in London

She solicited for the votes of all Londoners not Nigerians living in london alone

She never called or see London as a no mans land

Her campaign promises were not driven towards Nigerian londoners but all Londoners

She never made provocative statements to warrant the anger of britons
