The last General election in the UK ushered in a record number of women and minorities. Amongst them were a few of Ghanaian origin and women of Nigerian background.

While the Ghanaians and other ethnic minorities went about their parliamentary duties and responsibilities to their constituents, some of the Nigerians as usual have gone ahead to soil and tarnish our already dented image.

Fiona Onasanya the Labour MP representing Peterborough was jailed today for 3 months for lying to the Police to avoid speeding points.

Her brother who colluded and tried to conspire with her was jailed for 10 months. Onasanya has already been suspended by the Labour party. She has refused to resign her seat and is now an Independent.

In an unrelated case, Kate Osamor another Nigerian MP has resigned her Position.

Osamor who was promoted to the front bench by the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn as Shadow International Development Secretary (Secretary of a Dept is the Equivalent of a Minister in Nigeria).

She resigned from her role amid accusations that she had misled the public over her son's drug conviction.

In our usual practice of Nepotism, she employed her son Ishmael in her parliamentary office as a Senior Communications Officer. He was caught with drugs worth £2,500 last year.

A series of bizzare behaviour from Osamor followed. She lied and denied knowledge of the case, she told journalists to "F...off" and "Smash his face in" according to the Times. She also threatened another with a bat and threw a bucket of water at him.

Several MPs have expressed outrage that their behaviour " failed to uphold" the code of conduct for MP's. They asked for the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner to conduct an inquiry to these matters and the continued employment of Osamor's son in Parliament.

These cases exemplify the typical Nigerian norm of the lack of respect for the law. In Nigeria, Onasanya and Osamor would have gotten away with it. They would have used their influence to quash the cases. Although In Osamor's case it is not for lack of trying. She wrote to the Judge on behalf of her son and later denied it.

These women should be role models and a pride to our children in the UK and the Nigerian Community in general.

What are the chances of the electorate electing British/Nigerians again after the shameful conduct of these women? While other African Countries will treasure representation in the British Parliament, some privileged Nigerians there are misusing they opportunity. Something is definitely wrong with Nigerians.

The case of Justice Onnoghen and the Puerile defences of some people comes to mind.

Nice read.

Naija is a virus of many negatives that infects anywhere it is welcomed.

Since they are in the opposition Labour Party, if it was in Nigeria, they would have claimed they are being witch-hunted by the ruling party.

Some would have said they are Christians that is why a Muslim led government is targeting their family.

Some would even say that the lawful dispensation of justice is a threat to human rights and democracy.

Some would have slumped dramatically to avoid being charged to court, while some would have petitioned the US, EU and UN to come to their aid and save them from a dictatorial government.

But in a sane society, even their political party and social circle will condemn and avoid them.

Nigeria is cursed get use to it..

It's Better to tell Americans I'm from the Benin kingdom than telling them I'm from Nigeria

This country called Nigeria is now a big mess

Na make God dey save person from all this village people, dem wireless connection no be be small thing at all but God pass dem...

The author of this piece is an idiot. He has not asked what is wrong with Nigerians in the case of Anthony Joshua or other successful people, but because two others had brush-ins with the law he insults all Nigerians.

Who do us this thing, so anywhere they no chase us out we will commit crime till they chase us out

God forbid!

The truth is whether it were these women or the Original British whites, they would have all received the same punishment or thereabout because Britain is a nation of laws and same cultural values, unlike the country they put together for exploitation that has the equivalent of Germany, North Korea, and Oman all in the same boundary( imagine that).

With authentic AFrican nations like Oduduwa, Biafra, and Arewa, at least 2/3 it will be difficult to steal and maim to the level that we see in the Nigger Area/Nigeria because leaders will be held accountable and patriotism will be higher among similar cultural groups at the center and local levels.....


ON REFERENDUM WE STAND

I just don't know what to say...
Anybody that has anything to say should say..
This one weak me

The author's submission is valid; his concerns are genuine.

What do you expect? Nigerians that are celebrating a president who cannot produce an ordinary school certificate as having integrity.
