tkb417:
Is Lagos the only place in Nigeria?

tkb417, please grow up.

Le Moor:
@OP,
Another one of these 'innocent, unbiased, truth seeking" questions. I see through it all. It still strives to support the underlying theme that, 'the runaway soldiers who have chosen to call Diaspora home' (your words) are jealous of those who can afford to travel twice a year. One would wonder who is really jealous here.

Why are Nigerians back home always trying to prove a point. Why is there the need to prove a point that those in DIaspora are not better than you, common, I mean, you can afford to travel 2ce a year (I can feel you breaming with pride, that you can afford to go to London 2ce a yr). GTFOH!!! If you feel people are jealous of ou because you are better than them, then stop showing up at their door, stop booking your tickets before finding out if it wil be convenient for them, or if they have plans,  stop asking them to give you invitation letter. Why dont you just show up in London, get a cab from the airport and get to that hotel in Park Lane or any other city for that matter - I am sure there are good hotels everywhere- and do your tourist business before heading back.

well said

I wouldn't be driving that car - the consequences of steering failure at speed, when trying to take evasive action, don't bear thinking about.

I do LHD conversions, but I'm far from cheap, because I know the integrity of my work is beyond reproach. I guess ultimately, you get what you pay for.

Hi Siena

I'm about to purchase a RHD 2002 LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2.5 V6i ES Station Wagon 5dr Auto Petrol to send to Nigeria. Kindly advise on the cost of converting to LHD and an estimate of the freight fromn UK to Nigeria.

many thanks

@tudor

mate i do offer you my hand of friendship, lets be friends. i do not like having qualms with peops, lets drop the hatchet and be friends

@tudor

why cant u lead and be the 1st to die?

its folks like him that get into NANS and student govt unions in nigerian universities, they engineer boys to start aluta, but they are never at the fore front of the kasala, a friend of mine listened to people like him, what did he get in return? a building in unilag was named in memory of him. i can still remember the sounds of bullets flying aroud us that ill-fated day.

@tudor

i do understand your pain and your disappointment in the nigerian government, what the nigerian youth faces today is totally unfair

@ tudor

the youths are not gainfully employed, admissions into the universities are politicized. Taking into consideration someone like you who ought to be gainfully employed, or be enrolled in one of the universities, here you are wasting precious time at the cyber cafe disgracing youself publicly. your intellectual capability is commensurate to a toddler in the uk. Sure brother, keep the fight on, we all we unite as one and fight corruption and nepotism in the country

see you very soon gentleman

@tudor

please do not attempt to switch ur computer off, no one is trying to capture your IP Address

the guy is challenging us to go out and protest, that is fine by me, but if he feels he is a courageous leader, let him identify himself, i need to know who is organising the march before i can commit myself to their cause

@ tudor

i dare u to to declare ur full name, i guess u know mine by now

@tudor

still waiting for ur answer

if u are not a coward, pls identify yourself to the public, a courageous leader does not hide his identity,

@Tudor

pls do answer the following questions,
1) are u employed, if yes, ur employer?
2) are u a student, if yes, the academic institution u are enrolled in?


pls do answer the above questions

@ Tudor

u can call us online campaingers/champions/warriors, whatever, when i laid my complaint to the BBC management and not the journalist as u've bn stressing on, i made my complaint with my full uk home address and home phone number, With all due respect to you, but i must stress this, ur level of imagination is appalling, go get a life mate, people like u make me sick of sharing the green passport with u, u are not fit to be called a nigerian, though i'm of dual citizenship, I AM STILL PROUD TO BE ADDRESSED AS A NIGERIAN, if u feel u a not a coward, i will send you my phone number, u need to be lectured on our to comport yourself amidst intellectuals

@ Moderator

This forum is a great avenue for great minds of Nigerian descent to discuss issues about our beloved country, I implore you to develop means of keeping out rabbies infected dogs

many thanks

God bless Nigeria

@tkb417

Please ignore the Tudor dude, responding to his/her comment gives the attention he/she craves for, as they say, silence is the best answer,

@tudor

@TUDOR

I am really disgusted to have u as a fellow Nigerian. You a big disgrace to Nigeria.

THATS THE SPIRIT GUYS, from my experience living in the uk, I've noticed every white english man/woman hates to be called a racist, and I dont mind lashing any policeman/immigration officer that makes the mistake of trying to accost me based on my race as a bloody racist, (i can remember an incident when a stupid indian immigration officer asked how i came in possession of an indefinite visa because he saw my nigerian passport, i simply asked him how he became a british), One day soon we will stop all this molestation of Nigerians abroad, but the keyword is unity, we need to be united as one nation, people we need to be one and fight for our survival as one,

[size=15pt]THANK YOU GUYS, BUT I STILL BELIEVE THEY OWE EVERY NIGERIAN AN APOLOGY[/size]

DEAR ALL ,

I IMPLORE ALL MEMBERS OF THIS FORUM TO PROTEST AND CONDEMN THE ACTIONS OF THE BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8670323.stm)

"ADOPT THEM BECAUSE,
The Super Eagles are good for your inbox. Each year Nigerian fraudsters send millions of emails in an attempt to con people out of money, but World Cup success should distract them. "

THE COMMENT IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR, DEGRADING AND A SLAP TO ALL NIGERIANS, I AM YET TO RECEIVE A REPLY FROM THE BBC THAT MY BEING A NIGERIAN MAKES ME A CRIMINAL, THIS IS A WELL PLANNED ORCHESTRATED STRATEGY TO DEMORALIZE US, OUR HUMAN RIGHT FORBIDS ANYONE TO STEREOTYPE ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL BASED ON THIER NATIONALITY OR ORIGIN, A FOOTBALL COMMENTARY HAS NO CORRELATION WITH CRIMINALITY, I HAVE MADE A STRONG COMPLAINT TO THE BBC AND OTHERS ON THIS FORUM HAVE DONE SO, I IMPLORE EVERYONE THAT READS THIS, TO DO THE SAME ON, http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/homepage/ , IF WE CAN INNUNDATE THE IDIOTIC BBC MANAGEMENT WITH STRONG CRITICISM AND UNCENSORED CONDEMINATION, THE WESTERN MEDIA WOULD LEARN TO RESPECT WE THE GREAT PEOPLE OF NIGERIA, WE AS NIGERIANS ARE NOT INFERIOR TO ANY MAN/WOMAN BASED ON THE COLOUR OF OUR SKIN OR ORIENTATION, I STRONGLY BELIEVE IF EVERYONE ONE LAYS A COMPLAINT, WE WILL RECEIVE AN APOLOGY AND THE OFFENDING COMMENT TAKEN OFF THEIR WEBSITE.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL

@Katme

I really hope they (BBC) will answer my question on why bn an african or nigerian is a crime

[size=20pt]its time we all cry out loud on the injustice bn done to the name of our dear country, my question to the BBC, and i'm yet to get an answer from them is, "IF IT IS A CRIME TO BE AN AFRICAN", pls this is an oppurtunity to protest against undue stereotypization of all Nigerians.[/size]

[size=24pt]HI ALL,

I HAVE JUST MADE A COMPLAINT TO BBC ON THE COMMENT, I IMPLORE EVERYONE TO DO THE SAME, THIS WHOLE NONSENSE HAS TO STOP, ITS BLANTANT AND OPEN RACIAL DISCRIMINATION, PLS DEAR ALL MAKE YOUR COMPLAINTS ON http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/homepage/, IF U DONT CRY OUT, THOSE IDIOTS WONT STOP.

THANK YOU ALL[/size]
