Loveth it is overrated,If you have to travel on Vacation, instead of London go to Mombasa Kenya or Malinde in Kenya. London is expensive as hell. I could not last more than 72hrs and i had planned to stay a week. Too many Nigerians in a small place that makes it feel just like Lagos with a touch of Abuja but with out the steroids Lagos has. Or do Spain instead if you want to travel.Even Cape Town SA Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!

True talk! , I mean the place sef is like oshodi market ,you can't even hear yourself talk!so noisy!so crowded!

it's gd enuf for most of the ppl dat live here or dat r frm here. cos most of dem have lived here all their lives without stepping out. it's not as if all the houses r small. u can find BIG houses..it just depends on where u check out. and yes..the houses r expensive. council helps ppl get house for free..or smtimes..they have to pay very lil rent. skls r free..even colleges ..i mean..those entitled to it. then when u r 19..u pay for ur college. it's not that bad shaa but if i had my way, i'd live in america. but i think it's safer here. well, i dunno. it depends on where in america or where in london u live. cos where i live,,@ least i know it's safer than most places. nigerians r in london...yes..but not really in north london where i live. there r loadz in south london. and i think there r more ghanians than nigerians here. it's a nice place shaa..it's just OK.nothin fantastic bout it. i still think the states is more fun than here. the highest ppl do here is go clubbing, smoke, go pubs, mug ppl, rape ppl..u knw...dat kind of thinh. u jst have to watch urself and train ur children properly dats all.

well....nowhere is perfect but true talk..the njgas only adds colour to london.its always fun being arund..reminds me of home.

well i live in Lodon and its kind of lke lagos except it has some differences liike its got train stations in every toown centre, big shopping malls n its really nice especially at xmas.

i'm in london and it DOESN'T feel like LAGOS to me.
it only does when i go into CHLOE'S (where they sell hair stuff) in BURNT OAK.
my area is filled with WHITE ppl. i hardly c BLACK ppl where i live. Even if i do c....they r hardly nigerians,mostly Ghanians and jamaicans

yes houses very small. Cambridge is nice.

Crime rate similar to South Africa Johannesburg

Scorpio for real? I didn't know you can find almost everybody there! you should have told the U.S Marine this 4yrs ago instead of wasting time in Afghanistan and middle east looking for OBL!

there is something I like about london, it makes you feel close to home(naija). the enviroment is crowded however you still get the naija flavor in it, the music, clothings, shopping and gists. I love places like that. I represent for naija anytime.

Osuofia is a better person to tell you about London

i did ei, but they didn't listen to me

Lived in the UK for awhile. I still hate the cold, it doesnt seem like lagos to me. Life isnt green pastures but it sure is comfortable. And you can be rest assured that the system will work. i have met some racist though but then again, who gives a dam abt them. I just do my stuff and mind my business.
I used to live at SE london. Almost every block had a nigerian. That neighbourhood was so nigerian that 9jia pple will still knock u up for a cup of cream... lol . It was fun cos we cld get together sometimes and speak pidgin english forever.
Now i live in a zone where there are barely any blacks let alone nigerians, but am still okay with it, cos its closer to my job. And thats another thing, if you really want to build a career here, you have to have some kind of UK recognised certificate and you'd be willing to move around alot. In five years my cousin moved three times just to get a good job. And yes, pple love shopping here.Sometimes i think thats all they ever do. Stuff are expensive too but you get good stuff sometimes.
By the way, Does any one know where i can get some real cheap stuff in london Clothes, shoes bed spreads etc. Am thinking of taking some for sale when i go visiting 9jia in easter

Go to peckham or East street

oh really! Never knew................. kool
Someone told me about woolwich. Said there was a whole street market of kool/cheap stuff.
Thanks nana. i'll check it out.

Yeah I go shopping at Peckham sometimes, it's nice

Or try Lewisham and brixton.

oh yeah girl, brixton is definitely my place. I got the koolest jean stuff at MADHOUSE at real cheap prices.
i'm lovin Broomley and 'em kool stuff


*i aint cheap o. I just love gettin my money's worth*

I understand

london is a lovely place i've bn dere b4

i dont like London its the dirtiest city i ever seen in UK.
