r231:True dat. However the name Brixton still strikes fear into the heart of many Many of em' drugdealers /gangbangers still hang around dat area. You can easily differentiate the various gangs by the colur of the bandana they hang above their back pockets. |

like brixton One my uncles bought a house in the 60's for around Brixton from £5,500 The house went £1.1m in 2007, so many of the TV presenters live around Brixton, Stockwell, Clapham, Tulshill etc. |

r231: Woolwich is a different ball game. . . . . . .It's a concrete street. U see bare niggaz in there blasting their Yoruba and are ready to kick ass at the slightest provocation. But even with that, these places are still better than most areas in Lagos. |

bros dat day was funny, he kept saying look at dis small boyz do you knw who i am and dey kept slapping him took his cap, glasses and watch This is supposed to be in one of the best citiesin the world . Wetin jim iyke dey look for in brixton sef. Infact, the only place i know where somebody has been double mugged was london (they mugged him at 11pm, then 35 minutes later the guy was nabbed by another of the knights of the night. Of course london is still the best place to live in- just make sure u are not carrying your wallet with you Does anyone watch Jocelyn jee essien little miss jocelyn. I remember a joke she made about punishing a white guy - by strapping him, then writing "blacks go back home" and then dropping him in the middle of the streets of brixton. |

r231: Kai! That's really funny - these guys don't give a monkeys who you are, if you deserve a slap, they'll give you one. If they know you're a celebrity, they'll give you celebrity slaps. Slaps have their own levels too. Many years ago, I lived in Woolwich Dockyards. At the time, it seemed cool, most of the local hoods knew me and my pals, and they were fine with us. Never got anything lifted off me, even when out after midnight. I later moved further down the road, to Plumstead, and it was the same, Woolwich hoods. Powis Street was their meeting point, and after 18:00, once the pedestrian zone was open to traffic, things changed. As long as you knew when to shut your flap, and kept your nose clean, you were fine. |

Whoever wrote about some rat infested flat in elephant and castle is chatting shit. I live in elephant and it's bloody expensive, privately let flats go for about £1500 month for a one bedroom, it's 10 mins away from London Bridge, 20 mins away from the west end, it is basically one of the most coveted areas to live in. The problem is that once people get to London, they start believing St Johns Eood and Golders Green are the areas to live in, let's be honest, I'll much rather live amongst people who don't live pretentiously. I love south london, Peckham is rough but so is everywhere else in London. Hell, shootings and stabbings are getting more common in north and west London! As per the Woolwich area, my man lives in Thamesmead and I have to say it is absolutely gorgeous, new flats with river views, I know most people will rather live there than some snobby area. So all you Naijas based in London now that look down on south London as a ghetto that stinks and say you won't be caught dead there are brainwashed twats. Simple as. If you carry yourself well, no one will come to look for your trouble. Don't start none and there won't be none. |
Re: When Did Peckham (In London) Get Annexed By Nigeria? by tegasgirl(f): 12:48am On Nov 14, 2009 |
To make a further point, Elephant and Castle is NOT 'infested' with Nigerians. It is actually an area where most South Americans are based. I bet there isn't a thread on 'mexicanland.com' going on about how many they are in rye area in a negative way. Then 2moro we wonder why we are not moving forward as a country, if we can't support ourselves, how do we expect others to support us? |
Re: When Did Peckham (In London) Get Annexed By Nigeria? by chika98: 1:08am On Nov 14, 2009 |
I agree with Tegasgirl to some extent. Housing around those parts are expensive though |
Re: When Did Peckham (In London) Get Annexed By Nigeria? by redsky1: 1:17am On Nov 14, 2009 |
tegasgirl: so someone lives in a nice area they are a snob? look if you are not used to inner city life you will never find these area mentioned above nice to live in or visit - just cos something is a stones throw a way from the west end and property prices are high does not make it a very nice area to live in. I mean i know a number of people who have lived in south london or london for that matter but once they reach the stage where they have kids they move out to essex, hertfordshire, berkshire, bucks kent and the like. to be honest there are a number of places one can get naija food and black hair products around london so why people feel that they can only feel like they are close to home in these type of places is beyond me - when i feel like home i jump on a plane and go home, failing that i have a good sense of who i am and where i come from that i don't need to live near a shop that sells bush meat to feel nigerian, trust me working around oyinbo people everyday reminds me i'm nigerian |
Re: When Did Peckham (In London) Get Annexed By Nigeria? by tegasgirl(f): 1:47am On Nov 14, 2009 |
No one is making out that not living in south London makes you a snob. The snobs are the people on here who came on in the first instance going on about how much of a ghetto south London is, like those of us that live there are church rats. I just wanted to point out that it's not as terrible as people are making out. Besides they probably pay more rent than most of the people on here making out they are living the good life because they are not close to peckham. Making a point is one thing, being ignorant is a whole new ball game. Are you talking about the 'bush meat' you grew up eating? As per not living in London, there is nothing wrong with it. All of my sisters are based in Kent, most peoples reasons for leaving London is to buy houses where their kids can play in a garden, people leave London quite simply because they want to. I don't think they look for a deposit for a mortgage just because they don't want to live near where they sell 'bush meat' |
