Thanks man. I was going to ask the same thing.
Morever, he's got a family (a wife and an 11 yr old daughter)
Was it not in this same UK that a man won the right to stay because he shared a CAT with his girlfriend for some years?
The man needs some damn good lawyers damn it.

Do you have a link to the story?
If true, did the man who shared a cat with his girlfriend commit a crime?

So what if he has a wife and a daughter, he obviously wasn't supporting them financially given the amount of time spent in jail and in court. The idiot should be deported with a quickness!

He can run all the red lights he wants to in Nigeria and one doesn't need 5 gold medals to do so. .

you must be a citizen of a country before you can represent them in any international sporting event,
the country you are about to represent must show your passport to the appropiate sport governing body.
dragging urself to the screening whatever makes no meaning.
It depends on the games.

If it is a big international tournament like the Olympics or the World Championships then I suspect that one must prove citizenship before being allowed to compete and there are some where it is not required. In any case when an Athlete competes in the UK they get funding, professional training and healthcare and so it is not like Onwubiko or whatever his name is competed out of the graciousness of his heart and love of Britain. The man received a lot of benefits in return for competing and he alone chose to compete, he wasn't forced.

Anyway it is also not like he fought for Britain in the Falklands and should be given special treatment. (Even army veterans don't get special treatment) He competed because he wanted to and was allowed. He chose to represent Britain probably because of the benefits of doing so. I am sure if Nigeria offered similar benefits to their Athletes, he would have rather competed for his home country.

Someone mentioned Idowu, the long jump champion and Christine Ohurugu, the 400m champion. Different kettle of fish as these athletes were born and raised in the UK unlike Onwubiko who has only spent 12 of his 42 years in the country.

Anyway Onwubiko is free to take his gold medals with him to Nigeria.

Hi Siena

Sorry have nothing relevant to add to the topic of this thread but I just wanted to say that you and your Misses make the cutest couple ever!!

Up Up Deltans!! and Britons

@Tpia

Who are my 'Idols' and who is arguing?

Basildon1:
Aysometin,i'm annoyed with you for not ignoring Angie(Miss-I-am -too-scared-to lose-my one-last-job-in-life ). My car got towed recently and my colleague had no issues comin to my place to take me where i could retrieve it.If the posts here hurts her feelings,i suggests she makes a connection btw her forehead and the nearest wall

if you don't like it then Nigeria is only 5 hours away on a plane - as u b immigration officer,u can come and carry me now, KMT

A bit defensive aren't you? Do you have something to hide? If you do then kindly go and jump in the River Thames. 

aysometin:
I am so sorry guys!! I jumped (Mo bee) Women would always be women, we can't see and not say.
I wish I ignored her.

Imagine her comparing someone offering her a bottle of soft drink to Brits that offer me 20 cups of tea from different angles every single day of my working life.[color=#990000][/color]
This girl!! are u sure you are OK from what you typed above?

I should be asking you that question.

Why are you getting annoyed? One minute you cop out by saying that it was all in jest and then the next you are saying that the analogy I provided (offered a tray of soft drinks when I had already refused as opposed  to the offer of endless cups of tea) doesn't compare. See you don't like it when the tables are turned do you and that is why you feel the need to still find justification for your ignorant rant by posing that silly question highlighted above. 

And I see you didn't accept my apology. Oh well.  .  . your loss. Carry on reveling in your ignorance with the rest of your ilk.

aysometin:
who is this?? you wrote this long epistle and you are yet to see the Sarcasm and Jokes in our post.
Pele o British gal!
We are definitely friends with them and they with us but that doesn't mean they don't take a piss from our own culture as well.

Apologies. I am unable to decipher sarcasm and jokes through a computer screen. The only way I can usually tell is when posts are littered with smileys and I failed to see any. But in reference to the the highlighted, is this thread a pay back for Brits taking the piss out of Nigerian culture? I doubt the average Brit knows anything about Nigerian culture let alone enough to be able to take the piss out of it.

tboy1:
^^ I was hopin' everyone would ignore AngieFan

Your hopes failed.  Next time hope for something a bit more realistic.

My usual method is to frown from morning till lunchtime. I snob everyone around me and I can see them feeling uneasy . A few would ask me if I am ok, I'll just shake my head.  No matter what they say to me, it's a one word or phrase reply and I continue frowning. At about 2pm , I go back to my normal self and they start to wonder if this girl dey normal. I love to torment them, they are too weak!!

My colleague just asked me if I wanted a cup of tea now after I said NO to one about 2 hours ago!! Ki lo de??

Some of you guys are so damn negative! So now when someone offers you a cup of tea it becomes an issue? I rem a time when I was in Nigeria and  visited plenty of my parents friends on the same day. On each visit I was offered a bottle of 'mineral' which I respectfully and politely refused but was still presented with a whole tray of the stuff just for me. I didn't get offended at all, in fact I found it quite endearing and appreciated their kindness and took it as a cultural thing.  You guys on the other hand are making out like the offering of tea by strangers or colleagues is highly offensive. And then you wonder why you are treated differently.

A word of advice. .  .a change in attitude will go a loooooooooooooong long way and if you are not prepared to change it then perhaps you shouldn't be so far away from your home country in a foreign land where people have different cultural norms, values, behaviours and attitudes.

And as for the person who insists on wearing their headphones and pushing up their face in the office you had better be careful because the next time there is a staff cut you may end up first in line for the chop. In Britain hard work alone does not amount to salary increases and promotion. One has to also be seen as sociable ( a good 'people person') and able to get along with the team whether they be the Manager or a team member. Whether you like it or not, it  is the culture, just like cups of tea, cream cakes, fish and chips, football and Pub lunches  . . .if you don't like it then Nigeria is only 5 hours away on a plane.

One way to spend spend £75,000+ a week in the UK.

There are private cubs in London where a bottle of vintage wine goes for £34,000. If that is too much then a glass will set you back a mere £3,500. I have been to one such club and saw the prices myself on the menu. Needless to say I settled for a £10.00 burger instead and a cheap glass of Chardonnay for about £7.00.  .

It is also not unheard of for a bartender to receive a  tip of up to £10,000. Then there are the high class prostitutes that can charge anything from £10- 30k a night. Don't ask me how I know. .  .  lol

Such clubs are often frequented by Hip Hop Stars like Jay Z and Wife Beyonce, Kanye, Diddy, Rhianna and  major league Footballers and other celebrities. Obafemi was probably living the life of a baller.

How about flying First Class to NY,LA and Paris every weekend? A first class ticket and a 2 night stay in a 5 star hotel in top cities like New York, Paris, London and LA can easily set one back £20,000. I know those footballers often take their girlfriends or wives on international shopping sprees every other weekend. Or how about flying to Paris or New York just to attend a party, award show or other event?

£75,000 is small change to someone who generates millions every year however it would appear that Obafemi was living above his means.

The list is endless.

If anyone really wants to know how to spend £75,000 in one week in the UK please PM me. Be sure to have the £75000 that you wish to spend and I can meet you in Knightsbridge West London outside Harrods where we can plan the day from there,

@ Angie and Paddy, o gaaaa o, see what 9ja has caused now, this is getting more and more interesting like Siena said earlier, i am defn watching this space, i have not stopped laughing my head off. well until that Ali-Cat -crumb-cake comes back on,

You know the party is always in whichever thread I chose to contribute to, lol.

Help yourself to a drink at the bar and Enjoy!

@Siena

Youngster? Ok, lol!

@PADDY, Yeah thats right I am walking the streets at 4am in the morning with your mother. I am pimping that bytch hard but she better work that tired kitten of hers because I want my money.

PADDY you deranged Idiot!

I said post pics of Lagos that could be mistaken for London. What part of that didn't you understand  All the pics you posted are clearly of Nigeria and look nothing like London and this proves my initial point. London is nothing like Nigeria and vice versa.

For the record I never said that the UK was better than Nigeria but you have obviously been exposed by your insecurities by trying to start a UK vs Nigeria argument with yourself. Carry on pulling your hair out trying to prove your basless $shit.  . Everyone knows that it is those who shout the loudest over nothing that have the most to hide.

And by the way who is 'AngieHoe'? Your mother?

[quote author=paddy_lo link=topic=350165.msg4953445#msg4953445 date=1258580927]another lost soul,sometimes i wonder who gave birth to and raised these imbeciles abroad who know nothing about nigeria
u probably have never been to london or nigeria,yet u are arguing with someone who has been to both
posting pictures on here is just retarded cause i can post a picture from philadelphia that makes it seem like u are in the slums of india and vice versa
i have been to london,i was raised in lagos,guess what there is very little difference btw the two,there are no highrises in london or very few,most ppl i know call it advanced lagos,and come to think of it i prefer abuja to it but thats a different matter[/quote]You are delusional. Please post a part of Lagos or even Abuja that can be mistaken for London. Saying that London is an advanced Lagos is highly insulting and high rise buildings don't make a city.For your information, London always makes no.1 or 2 in lists from professional bodies when it comes to the best cities in the world. Where does Lagos or Abuja come? Oh sorry I forgot, they don't even make the list!!

Siena:
Fresh food isn't reason enough to choose a place to live - what happened to public transport and cars?

And Peckham's just a tiny part of London as a whole.

There are plenty of transport links in Peckham. Plenty of buses and a train station where one can get to London Bridge, Victoria, Blackfriars and Thames Citylink in 12 mins average. Then there is also Queens Road Station up the road. The trains are regular too. Plus there are plans in the works to add Peckham to the tube network as part of the East London line.

Mexico has taken steps to allow the increasing number of foreigners who flood into the country each year, whether legally or illegally, to apply for citizenship.

Most of Mexico's immigrants come from Central America, but at least one million of them arrive from United States.

Al Jazeera's Franc Contreras reports from the central Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende, where foreigners say they appreciate a simpler kind of life.

I'm surprised at this.

@AngieFan
illegals work with fake or false NI''s. inland revenue knows which national insurance no's are real and fake. once they can't find or recognise the number on their system, they put them on emergency tax and write to them all the time to ask for their real no's, people placed on emergency tax pay more taxes,

according to inland revenue, they have over 750,000 unregconised NI's on their system and over £80M in unclaimed tax from those unrecognised NI's last yr, i do not have a link to this informatn but u can always goggle it or find more informatn - strangers into citizen's website,

You are aware that one has to earn a certain amount before they start paying tax aren't you? Most illegal immigrants probably have several different jobs under different IDs which more often than not fall under the threshold of about £5000 a year and so they don't pay tax. Your claim that they pay more tax than anyone is incorrect.

If I were in charge I would seek out those illegal parasites and have them on the first boat leaving the British shores. I see no reason why they should get an easy ride when they have broken the law.

thameamead:
hmmm, no mentin of how much money they make from illegal immigrants who pay more taxes than anyone,

Can you explain to me how illegal immigrants pay tax or pay more than anyone for that matter

God had a reason for keeping her alive after such a vicious attack. There sheer bravery of this woman is mind blowing; look how strong she is and ready to forge ahead despite literally not having a face and no sight. This story makes me see that the trials that I go through in life are just small fry compared to this lady and yet she still carries on. I hope continues to giver her strength and God bless her.

I am not sure which of my post you are disagreeing with. A poster mentioned that the English landlords refused to rent to Blacks and I agreed. However there were Irish Landlords and Land Ladies who did rent to the Blacks because they knew what it was like when the English discriminated against them. The sign you posted 'No Irish, No dogs' was a common place before the Blacks came. The 'No Blacks' part was added after.

chic2pimp:
Nah they refused to rent out accomodations to black peeps as well. They were signs oustide many peeps houses which read 'No Irish,No Blacks, No Dogs'. If you attend an Afro Carribean Community meeting, you will hear tales from many ol' peeps who can vivdly recall their experiences in 50's Britain.

joxiri:
angiefan
yea but when you say south it is generally assumed you are talking abt the south east and south west and then being more precise is when you say south east or south west and earls courth chelsea and south kensington are not regarded as west london hammersmith might be west london but earls court and definetly chelsea are in the south west of london whch falls under the south london umbrella

Nope! Places like Earls Court, South Kensington, Victoria, Fulham Broadway Sloane Square, Kings Road, Chelsea although tagged with a SW London postcode are more West than South and many Londoners consider that to be the case. As I said, it depends on the way one looks at it.

chic2pimp:
True that's a lie however many white home owners/landlords from other parts of london did not rent out accomodation to black peeps.

They didn't but the Irish did. Apparently before the Blacks came to England the Irish were the ones that the English discriminated against and the Blacks took their place. The Irish and Blacks kind of formed a kind of unofficial against the English and kind of helped each other out.

joxiri:
angiefan
  southwest does fall under south london

It depends on how you look at it. Places like Earls Court, Chelsea, South Kensington and Brompton also fall under the SW umbrella but they are seen mostly as West London.

joxiri:
I dont know how true it is but my mum says most african and west indies people settled in south london balham clapham streatham and brixton, including them when they arrived

No doubt that the did settle there but West London was also a major Black settlement area too. I know plenty of Black people in their 60s who were born and raised in Notting Hill, West London. Also the the areas you mentioned are actually in South West(SW) London. Omar22 was trying to say that the government systematically made all the Blacks live in South London when that is an out and out lie!

omar22:
I didnt say they restricted them in south but systematically all blacks lived in the south of the river, and that doesnt mean whites dont live in the South but theirs a strong chance of them moving out as soon as possible, my ex girlfriends grand father (West Indies) mentioned that this to me and its no coincidence that in the 70 and 80s most or majority of the Afro caribbeans were living south of the river, the Nottinghill Carnival was created for the West Indies who came over in the 50s because they were feeling home sick.

Your ex girlfriends grandfather lied. The West Indian Blacks settled more in the west of London more than they did in the South and the fact the Notting Hill carnival was dreamt up there is a testament to that. Anyway you contradict yourself. Why would the West Indians create a carnival in the west of London if they all lived in the South??

omar22:
Are you saying that Nigerians dont have a house on Oxford street?

Any Nigerian or anyone for that matter that claims to have a house on Oxford Street is a GatDamm liar!!!

omar22:
@Blackspade in the 40's and 50's when British government invited the West Indies over to come and work due to lack of man power they made sure that every black person lived in south london, everywhere provided but it wont be at the same standard as those who live across the river but by the 60 and 70's the Africans joined the party, then if a black person move into a road, white people would start to move out one by one and since the Blacks and Asians like to live closely to their own people south london became a congregation of Afro Carribbean  people, the Asian started moving West London but by the end of the 80 black people started changing location, thet started moving into what it was supposed to be a racist area and though it out with the whites, by the end of the 90s blacks started moving out of London into Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex etc in large numbers but one thing i know is that Peckham is the place, you have indians shop owners who could speak yoruba, Liverpool street is all about Nigerian cloths,

blackspade:
Thanks for the explanation. It's shocking to learn that blacks were only in South London at one time.

That's not true at all. There were no restrictions where Blacks lived and there is no record of white people leaving their homes because a black person moved into a street. Stop spreading fallacies! In the 40s many Black people settled all over London and other cities like Birmingham, Nottingham and Manchester. One of the most popular areas that Blacks settled in in London was West London, Notting Hill Gate which is how Europe's biggest street festival, the Notting Hill Carnival came to be based there.

Peckham only became a predominately 'Black' area in the 70s. Multiple Oscar winner Michael Caine is a Peckham native as is ex-prime minister John Major's wife, Norma and in case you ask, they are white people.

You people crack me up! The only reason why Peckham is a pig sty is because of the Nigerians who live there, not the Ghanaians, the Jamaicans or other black people…it is the Nigerians/ Most of them are illegal and as soon as they land they head for Peckham transporting all their regular habits to Peckham. These illegals live the way they do in Nigeria despite the local council’s efforts to provide regular street cleaning, free well equipped primary and secondary schools, affordable public transport and local amenities such as a well stocked library and sport’s centre. A friend of mine lived next to new immigrant Nigerian family that used to pour palm oil down the drains in front of their house and it also wasn’t uncommon of them to leave empty pots of Efo outside their front door. It was so embarrassing!

In the 80s Peckam was mainly occupied by West Indians and it was not that bad now it is a different story since the Nigeria invasion. Lets be real here. Don’t be fooled people , there  are many places that have a high percentage of blacks such as Notting Hill and North Kensington that is one of the most expensive places in London. I am sure that if all the Nigerians were to be removed from Peckham the place would see an immediate facelift in less than a month!

Point of correction MJ was never FULLY BLACK.  He is half black and half native american!

Google it

Who gives a damn whoses sperm was used they are his God damn kids!

People adopt everyday leave this dead man and HIS children alone

Stop the BS! Michael Jackson was a black man, a full black man! And there is no way his seed could have produced three white children.

So he had a Native American ancestor waaaaaaaaaaay back in his blood line and perhaps some Irish, that doesn't now make him half of those races. Heck, Some Nigerians even have Portuguese, Arab or Oyibo running through their blood lines from the transatlantic slave trade days, it doesn't mean that they can now claim half of that race.

The man is a bloody liar.
If that was really the way he was treated in a British Jail then he would have grounds to sue on the abuse of his human rights. . . but of course he won't because as I said he is lying.

@ SAM MILA

Building us prisons wont solve nothing because people will still travel to stay illegally to the UK.

There is no road from Lagos to UK, which means that those guys there went with Visas.
Some travelled to study there but since you cant get a permit to stay,
You automatically become Illegal. Like it or not.
Those are our University Grads, Our skilled workers, Our traders and co.

If you beat the traffic red light and get caught or enter train When you dont have money(ticket),
You will be asked for ID, which of course you dont have.
When you dont give someone asylum, or work permit,
How do you expect the person to survive if not to do illegal things like trade drugs?
That is how they become the illegal Criminals, Not like they rob Banks or kidnapp for ransom.

How many sons and daughters of the corrupt politicians are in jail there? and why are they not?

AND YES, IT WAS THATCHER  WHO SENT ABACHA TO STEAL OUR MONEY
BECAUSE THE BANK OF ENGLAND WOULD HAVE GLADLY ACCEPT THE MONEY WITHOUT QUESTIONS.

Britain is our Father whether they like it or not, So if they want to help us, They should.

STOP ACCEPTING LOOTS FROM OUR POLITICIANS,
STOP THE POLITICIANS CHILDREN FROM LIVING IN LONDON WHILE THEIR PARENTS STAY IN ABUJA.
STOP THE POLITICIANS FROM VISITING THEIR HOSPITALS FOR CHECK UP
(what is the hope of common man, if the leaders fly to health check up with jets?)

You are missing the plot completely. The British are talking about hardened Nigerian criminals who also happen to be illegal immigrants. People like
these two agberoes in the link. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6353379.stm

And in answer to your question about the children of rich Nigerians committing crimes on foreign soil, google Lanre Onabowale a serial rapist currently serving 18 years in prison. I believe that he is the son of a rich politician or other in Nigeria


I am all for deportations illegal immigrants and other non-citizens who choose to break the law.
