This is what is called leadership. Simple live and very free lifestyle of these developed nations leadership.They colonized us but we cant emulate their honest life style. IS ANY THING WRONG WITH BLACK ORIGIN? I hope my naija people will turn out to be like this one day and not blocking a whole town so that their entourage can pass. Someone said if na PRESI JONA, THE KIND BASHINGS HE GO RECEIVE WILL HAVE NO LIMIT.


DAVID Cameron let the train take the strain today as he travelled to the Olympics on a crowded TUBE.

The Prime Minister used the Underground as he travelled to the Aquatics Centre in Stratford to watch Tom Daley and Peter Waterfield narrowly miss out on a medal in the 10m synchronised diving final.

Wearing a blue shirt and navy blazer, the PM looked a little awkward as he sat on the Bakerloo line train next to a casually dressed commuter and an Olympic worker in uniform.

He clasped his hands together on his lap and looked straight ahead while stunned passengers in the carriage stared at him.

The snap – uploaded to Cameron’s official Twitter site @Number10gov – has been retweeted over 250 times since being posted this afternoon.

The caption to the pic reads: “PM travelling to Aquatics Centre to watch @TomDaley1994 & @PeterWaterfield in #Olympics #diving final”.

Mr Cameron – who often cycles to Parliament – said: “I’ve just actually come on the tube myself to see what the traffic situation is like. It's not too bad, the Bakerloo line is going all right.”

I'm sure it would take him less than 5pounds to get there, if na Gej, it would take 40,000pounds for him and his follwers to get there . Wasting govt funds. Nigeria's no 1 problem is cost of governance.

In as much as it is a good gesture,it is not advisable in Nigeria.Safety is not assured and you might be gunned downed by your political rivals.Thats how they killed Tafawa Balewa.He went alone to fuel his car at a petrol station in 1996.He even stood in the queue,and suddenly ,gunmen came along and shot him dead.Its just not possible here.

Point of correction: he didnt take it with the common people. And he did it during his campaign. Dont ever compare GEJ with any civilized leader.

Lol. See how that fine black girl is gawking at him. Very nice one though. That's just a different culture altogether. . .even a local government chairman in Nigeria can't be caught dead in public transport - not even in an airconditioned 'red cab'.
Re: British PM Takes Public Transport To Olympics: Can Our Leaders Try This? (Pic) by Melahou(m): 10:21am On Aug 02, 2012
whats the big deal taking public transport when you have a car that can conveniently take you any where...
even as a private person i wld rather take my personal car than go on public transport...
there`s no point here at all...
who so ever feels like taking public transport should do that,its a matter of choice n has nothing to do with leadership by example.

Leadership is a style
David Cameron CYCLES to parliament...this day, he opted for the train to go to the Olympics

Fashola rides in lagos traffic without using siren...CONFIRMED!!

GEJ here would most likely have been compelled to ride the train since he was commissioning it.

Why david cameron is doing that is that he knows he has nothing to hide,our leaders will not try that because a frustrated nigerian may take the chance and attack them.
Re: British PM Takes Public Transport To Olympics: Can Our Leaders Try This? (Pic) by Beaf1: 10:31am On Aug 02, 2012
No dey yarn rubbish abeg! Very soon our leaders will start using Bullion Vans to travel because Boko boys have rockets launchers. Will you compare the security issues around here with that in the UK?

Dont believe everything you see. Common people like you are only meant to see a couple of secretly armed police which may not be obvious from the photograph above because of the angle from which the pix was taken. There are no doubts that there are armed MI5 agents, armed plain clothes officers, armed bodyguards and maybe a few James Bonds all nearby and mixed in with the crowd, in the train, and on the ground, stationed at all his stops; they are all trained to notice potential threats and counter them before they become real threats, and they are all trained to blend into the background and not be noticed. Just try grabbing the prime minister and see how far you get. If you look closely enough, the passengers around him were carefully selected and werent too close to him. Again, dont let Oyinbo fool you.
