The queen's black handbag.



Does she plan to rule forever? undecided

Ileke, this queen does NOT rule, she REIGNS. Ruling is left to the politicians as the UK is a CONSTITUTIONAL monarchy. In the days of ABSOLUTISM, you would have been right.

good to know... but he has to do something back home for us to truly recognize him, cos i don't think he has personally identified himself with us.

What has he done to improve the plight of black people in the uk? He is just a 21st century slave , bowing and scraping before his slave masters. They still see him as inferior to them irrespective of all the titles they confer on him. You can never be a king in another man's house.

He is British. There is nothing Nigerian about him except his last name.

sure a pity.

our sons building the lands of others and Nigeria is left almost in ruins!

even in the ruins, bomb still blows away the little hope there is for this wondering man

many nights drenched to the very core of his marrow

crossed and tossed by the raging seas

watched ashore , unsure where to shop next

but he would find the light again! this land of mine

for he is blessed with an unbreakable spirit
though the weight of his wayward sons weighs him down
he wud purge off, plunge on
all hail d motherland
dressed in the beauty of a thousand queens
here to reign
here to rule
here to stay!
Thou lion of africa
Wade on

sorry, he is not a nigerian but a biafran. May be he is waiting for that country.

Re: Ken Olisa: The Most Powerful Black Man In Britain by cap28: 10:14am On Nov 23, 2015
Just found out that his nigerian father abandoned him and his white mother and went back to nigeria when he was a baby. He has never been to nigeria and has no relationship with his father, which makes him Nigerian in name only. He is also married to a white woman that he met when they were both students at Cambridge university.

I don't know about Biafra but he is an Igbo-Nigerian. Check this out I curled from Wikipedia....

Kenneth "Ken" Olisa, OBE, FRSA, FBCS (born 1951) is a British businessman and the first black Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London.

Ken Olisa,
born in 1951 of a Nigerian father and a British mother, and a native of Nottingham, Olisa's technology career commenced in the 1970s at IBM after he won a scholarship while an undergraduate at Cambridge University, where he studied Natural Sciences and then Social, Political and Management Sciences at Fitzwilliam College.[2] At IBM he held various posts before joining Wang Laboratories in 1981. Following a period as Marketing Director for Europe, VP of US Marketing and then of Worldwide Marketing based in Boston, he was appointed Senior VP and General Manager of Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EAME) located in Brussels. He led the team which restored the EAME operation to profitability, following which he launched an unsuccessful MBO resulting in his departure in 1992.
