Op must be high on something. stop associating delta state with Igboland. If you are looking for extra landmass for your proposed Biafra, you have failed. We have not forgotten how you people treated other Deltans during the brief occupation before federal forces liberation. Asaba, Warri and Oghara are in Delta state, South-south zone. Thanks

I am going to find it very strange walking around London and not saying hello to everyone, using elaborate handshakes and bumping shoulders. I will miss it a great deal.


In London next door neighbours hardly say hello talk less of strangers passing bygrin

It's really nice for the westerners to come over see things for themselves and give positive reviews about our beloved country. While Nigeria is far from perfect, it's still a lovely place to be unlike the gloomy, catastrophic and dour picture the western media paints.

We need to let the world know the good that is in the country not always exporting the negatives all the time.


Yes to the public relations overhaul.

EARLIER this year, I was approached to do some media consultancy in Nigeria. I had just left the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) after 18 years to set up my own business, so this seemed a great opportunity.

In my view, it is a fascinating country that needs a massive PR (Public Relations) overhaul. I would better find another source of anecdotes about how brave I am for my friends at home in the Leicestershire countryside and at my favorite place in London, the Frontline Journalism Club.


Seriously what were folks expecting him to write? He's been commissioned for media consultancy work and would hardly be expected to emphasize the negatives about Nigeria. He's got a business and needs to make profit whichever way you look at it.

Proudly SW.
MY tribesmen extends some parts of Igbira, Edo, Delta, to the east, the fon, Ajase in Benin Republic, the Agoyin in Togo, the Ewe in Ghana, and a significant population in Cote d ivoire.
You will never see a True blood Yoruba claim these lands as part of our territory even though we are closely related.
