Woolwich is like Ojuelegba. . . . . .U can buy anything there.[/b]MTN cards, Globacom cards, Pap, Moi-Moi, etc.

It depends on the area. London is better than 80% of the States in the USA.
If u wanna enjoy London, [b]avoid the SE and E areas.

St☆rStruck:
They ask you for money? They are now beggars? Wow, London is worse than I thought.

lucabrasi:
this is really shameful and embarassing,this is the reason i avoid east london and south east london like a plague ridden area,was using an atm machine in woolwich area about 3 summers ago,and saw this woman without a top backing a child with rubber slippers and speaking to someone really loud on the phone and i just covered my face in shame

Whatz messed up in this??
Haven't u seen bitch fights in Naija before??
Make una no diss London o?? Nigerians in Texas are worse.

Tracy is Nigerian and she's a hit-babe.
If you know any woman trying to snatch your hubby/boy-friend, hire TRACY!!!

I know her as Tracy. . . . .Her posse calls her Tracy.

There was an incident in Essex some 18 mths ago. . . . . .A woman saw her hubby's car parked in front of a house and decided to go there herself to go look for her hubby.
Fortunately/unfortunately for her, it was one of the pads of Tracy's posse. . . . . . . The husband snatcher called Tracy to come bail her out when the woman started making a scene in front of the house. When Tracy got there, she thrashed the woman to a pulp.
Cops were called, Tracy was released without charges. Intel says Metro Police are tired of her antics.
She is ABOVE THE LAW.

UCHE ke?? Mistaken Identity.

Evryone talks about the tackling of poverty, helping Africa bla bla bla and when it comes to an economic summit to discuss the global economy Africa is left in the cold and one country is representing itself and not even Africa.

Not all of the EU have open borders and it is just the countries that are landlocked together (Shen gen)

Thanks for the correction - those countries that are locked together make up one big economy and they all use the Euro as a joint currency under the European Central Bank. They also have the rotational presidency thing which puts them under one leader at any given point in time. I still think that is a major reason they invited individual presidents like Sarkozy and Merkel etc but still have the EU as one country.

they have the right and left to invite whoever they wish. nigeria would have been invited but we are currently rebranding so the choice of SA.

I like your analysis

Please spare me all this sentiments. As far i am concerned my own brain is for sale to the highest bidder and throw in "good standard of living "

What a topic!!

Do the people outside Nigeria know Okonjo Iweala as Ibo or rather as a Nigerian?

proudly9ja:
Epiphany, you are probably the first person on this thread who will attack issues and not personality and I respect you for that.

I also agree with sme of your points and will wish to say a few things:

1. I agree that rebranding should start from the top. The whole rebranding exercise should start from the President. But we all know who our president is and we know his croonies and the thieves around him. I am trying to put myself in Dora's shoes. I don't know her from Adam but Im trying to give her the benefit of doubt based on her work from NAFDAC. If I was Dora, Il probably be treading the same path. I am sure she knows there are thieves in Government and maybe she even knows one of them is her C-in-C but what can she do? Should she just sit down and fold her hands and do nothing? Should she resign like a lot of people have suggested? Well if I was Dora, I would do exactly what she is doing, I will do my best.
Nigerians need re-orientation. We need to believe in ourselves and have the can do spirit. The reason why a few have continued to destroy our Nation is because the majority have adopted the siddon look spirit. If this rebranding and re-orientation challenge can help us realise that Nigeria belongs to us all, then maybe its worth the effort

2. I also agree that India contributes to the global economy more than we do but think about it, we have started slowly too but surely we will also get there. You mentioned Dangote and Adenuga and Otedola. Years ago, how many people could you mention like that from Nigeria? Maybe none, not even MKO with all due respects. Rebranding should bring up more Nigerian entrepreneurs. The road and journey maybe hard but we can do it. Believe it or not, a lot of Nigerians in Nigeria are doing great things. But the key thing is, we need to believe in ourselves. Dora gave an example of the guy who discovered the cure for diabetes and how Nigerians (even Nairalanders) discredited him. Thats a guy who should be ranked amongst the top 10 most popular people in the world right now. If he was American, he probably will. Some years ago, a Nigerian claimed to have the cure for AIDS, same thing happened to him, we discredited him


Me thinks Nigerians should give Dora a chance. If for nothing at least for her past achievements. Bad leaders cannot be removed on the pages of newpapers or on Nairaland. Bad leaders will be removed when the entire populace realise that the Nation is OUR Nation and not 'their' Nation.

Yar Adua has promised electricity for all in Nigeria by the year 3075, so TV images of El Presidente in a suit are among the many treats in store for our great grand-children, when electricity finally arrives in Nigerian households.

proudly9ja:
Well, in as much as I agree with you that ''some people are not doing their jobs'', don't you then think that all these energy we have spent castigating Dora (more than three threads devoted to this rebranding issue alone!), we should use it to at least support her if for anything, at least let's remember her success at NAFDAC.

While at that, we should also spend the energy screaming at power minister to give us constant power, health minister to improve on our health care, etc!
At least Dora is not 'chopping' the money like other ministers are doing

Why should the federal government waste taxpayers money to investigate consensual sexual relationship between 2 consenting adults?
Naija!
