I live in a village of about 4000 people in the SW of England. There are only 2 blacks and I am the only Nigerian. Their figures are definitely incorrect!

And that's the same way it's almost everywhere outside London and all the big cities black people moved to during the windrush...

I have been to a major town in West midlands(30 mins drive from the bullring) with a population of 100,000 people and I didn't see a single black person there...

Even putting black people's population in London at 20% of the total population of London(2m) seems to be on the high side, to be honest... So, 1 in 4 people residing in London is black.. grin

Lmao... So, Nigerians are more than half of the total population of black people in London, no?? grin There are more Jamaicans in London and in the UK than Nigerians...

Anyway, Peckham and Camberwell aren't as black as they used to be... South Americans and Eastern Europeans are taking over... and there's gentrification going on in Brixton atm... White people are moving back to Brixton...

asha 80: Those nigerians(yoruba peope)you are talking about might not be interested in coming back to their ancestral land hence might not really care what happens in those lands.

Come to Malaysia, they are killing Nigerians everyday, pushing boys off tall buildings, that is what you call laws of diminishing return. By the time you people start contesting the position of prime minister and mayor, them go show una. No place like home.

It's easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than find black Africans in the city of London... grin

Err... I hardly see black people in all the major shopping centres in London(apart from the Westfield, in Stratford)... I was at Lakeside shopping centre yesterday and I can count the number of black people I saw there on my two hands...

Wa-efa! As if he's the president. Even the developed world are wondering y he's the governor and not the presido. The good thing is I'm proud to be from the SW - we lose nothing if the next president of nigerian is an ex-kidnapper from Okija as long as we have good progressive govs who have vision.
Your loss.

shymexx: If there are over 1m Nigerians in London; then there should be over 6m Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis/Sri Lankans, over 500,000 Ghanaians, over 2m Caribbeans, over 2m people from SE Asia, over 3m Eastern Europeans, and over 500,000 South Americans... and I haven't added indigenous white Brits, other Africans, North Americans, and people from the Oceania region....

Oops, the population of London is just slightly above 8m - do the maths!!

Take this crap to the Jokes section.. undecided
.

Ah ah, London no reach 1m naija. If they include naija visitors who come to visit family from everywhere: Naija, US, Europe etc, it might be up to. But residents no way. UK as a whole cannot have more than 1.2 m Naija sef.

10x jare. My fathers line are from chalas, berom and ngas. Luckily I got a yoruba mama who is from ibeshe, ikorodu. Lasgidi, jos and ogun tinz. If shove comes to push, I wanna have a place where I won't be sent packing from because I'm prospering there. The earlier I see myself as Naija, d better.
