Why are non British born Nigerian's becoming heavily involved in UK gangs, I was on holiday recently and all I read and heard on the news was another person killed and who are involved, some Nigerians, some from the Caribbean’s and other black nation.

[b]Na wa it’s getting crazier by the day in that country [/b]where are the parents of this children

Some of these kids are not born in the UK but many have grown up there and have found themselves in bad company.Some dropped out of school and have now exposed themselves to the street-life.It's a sad situation because most of these African kids had parents who worked round the clock to ensure they had a good lifestyle.This is another reason why some parents ship their kids back home for a few years when they get to their teenage years when they see or notice their kids are becoming uncontrollable.

As above poster said, Inner London schools are something to be desired. I dread sending my children to one.
There is no discipline whatsoever. A teacher cannot touch a student yet a student may shout abuse at a teacher. They are brought up in threatening environments, some in poorer neighbourhoods where being in a gang is a kind of protection I guess. Parents cannot do much either. Kids rule the adults here.
I think many poeple come here to the UK imagining a bed of roses compared to their home countries but it can be far from the truth. If you don't have a good education or degree at least it can be very difficult to get any job. Many as well are here on false documents so they have little choice about jobs or showing their real identity.
Drugs of course goes hand in hand, its a way of making money for those who can't get money otherwise.

I agree with the above poster, I wish I could send my children to Nigeria for a few years to learn something else!
