I definitely wasn`t around 30 years ago, but around enough to know that the more the impression of change the more things seem to remain the same. Stephen Lawrence mum would say that because she is now a Dame. Do you think the family of Mark Duggan would accept that things have changed in Tottenhan? Where do you think Stephen Lawrence is buried today and why? So they stabbed him to death and rubbished his burial place so his dad has to take his body to Jamaica. We don`t need to argue about London because certain things are beyond argument. The London of 1960s that our parents lived in is just slightly different from that of today.

Again I will say M Duggan. is not an innocent man.He was one of them black guys giving black people bad names..His death was a mistake on the part of the Police mind U I live in Haringey so I know what I am on about.ever heard of Turnpike lane?go to that park and see how our brothers are embarrassing us.

Be honest with me; since the release of Macpherson report that described The Metropolitan Police as institutionally racist, has anything changed in London with regard to how blacks in London are treated? Today, the Met has just over 3000 officers from the minority groups, that is 11% of the Met. BMG in london is over 40%. So what has changed since the death of Stephen Lawrence? Do you see my point? They like to deceive us that something has changed, but it hasn`t. The population of London is roughly 8 million, over 40% of which are minorities, why should the Metropolitan Police has 11% minorities in the force? You can see that there is no target recruitment; it doesn`t exist.

Even Stephen Lawrence mother came out to say a lot has changed.
Let me ask you. Where you arround like 30 years ago?or ever had a chat with folks that grew up in places like tottenham or Harkney?

donephi:
This assertion is a fallacy , I stand to be corrected. On what premises are you making your conclusion?

Some can send £1000 home each month to thier savings gs account. In today's money that's N450,0000
These are not top earners.I ha e to small us here like that.they work in construction. Thier target is 5 yrs then rtn bck 9ja.

soleexx:
Who cares about London or pecham...United Of America! land of opportunity and peace...no cops got time to chase you around for ur uncompleted document...people without papers can live 50+years in US if you don't commit stupid crime...to be honest when u got no proper doc better job may be hard to get...but minor jobs are so many...which are mostly security jobs...$19-30 per hour...and u work for maximum 5hours in a day...if you planning to relocate pls try US...and God will assist you.

Guy if you are Y2K compliant you will realize that the word on the street is to be able to visit home. Now that's prizelesss. Nor be wen person papa go meet his creator you nor fit pay your last respect cos of papers..Is 5hat nt fuuuucked up??

ronald4lif:
Lol. Not as rosy as you paint it. That £200 per month you stated may not even be enough for his monthly travel expenses and feeding in a week. Don't let the naira value to pound mislead you bruv.

What are you cooking that will cost £200 in month for just you. ?unless U eat out. You can cook one big pot with £10.it will last you a week plus.

The article is misleading in many ways. It`s true that Nigerians do menial jobs, but that is just one side of the story. Whether it`s in law, medicine and broadcasting, Nigerians are well represented; so is not just about shop assistants and security guards. Oh yes, Yoruba would be about 70% of the Nigerians in London if not more than that. To be fair to the British, they need to be tough on immigration because everybody wants to be in London, partly because of the language, but mostly for economic reasons. But the most important reason is the hype and propaganda. I have always believed that your European journey is incomplete until you`ve been to London. I can say without any fear of contradiction that it`s the most un-equal society in Western Europe when you compare and contrast the standard of living with other EU countries. The poor mostly live in one area while the rich are concentrated in another, even if not exclusively so. Then whatever you buy in London, and I mean virtually everything, is going to be twice the price paid in the rest of Europe, apart from Switzerland. And oh, pest-infested flats are not difficult to come by so are the ones with leaking roofs. Looking for something decent would mean that almost 70% of your wages would be going on housing. Don`t panic, their Prime Minister has one house he is renting out in Notting Hill, just be ready to pay him £1,800 per week, while your salary is likely to be less than £1000 per month. There is no country in Western Europe that would have a Chief Executive that is collecting salaries 128 times that of his/her average staff, but that is the case with most of the FTSE 100 companies in the City.
All in all, it`s a country worth visiting; because it helps you to know what leadership is all about.

I dunno Y you only just got 5 likes as at now.it should be 1000th likes

mailemy:
That's spot on, I so much avoid people with such shallow and negative thought. U don't generalize things because u have failed and forgot that people do better jobs and live well. New immigrants should avoid people like that if you want to succeed. [color=#000099][/color]

I agree with you uncountable %.
When you live with cleaners as a fresher you will sort for cleaning jobs.

CaptainECole:
am sorry sir... but I've confirmed it now..

Well it carries some wrong info. This will give you an insight to the biased thought of the writer he/she is prejudiced.

Dabss:
Ask her how much she pays for a plate of decent food or how much she pay for rent every month. That £200 can not get her what 40k can get in naija here.

Use your brains.

Well in life there is scale of preference. Yours is different from mine and the OP. Your prority might be good food ours might be good environment. Others might be savings

ItzTun3chi:
seriously, it's better to stay in Nigeria and work hard and make your cool cash here than to go live there and cough out most of your wages to pay for the cost of living

That's why nothing works in Nigeria. We hate tax.

ATERI:
Any examples of such positive discrimination initiatives to negate the effects of institutional racism in London?

Yes loads.ie the police force, Embassy, Schools.

toyetade:
Misleading article. Get close to Nigerians who are successful in the UK then you will know it is one of the best places on the world for opportunities . I have been a contractor here for more than 10 years and I currently earn £540 per day though I came here in 2001 with just 6 months visa

Ahaha I am assuming it's a typo £540 per day or week

CaptainECole:
Where is Peckham located then?

When you share post without verification yoy are as guilty as who wrote it in the first place.
That's why you can go to jail for re twittting.

I read about George washighton carver from a book my elder sister had in 1998/1999. @ least internet was not readily available then.
Secondly when i say whites. am refering to European(Cacusian) whites

So according to you non europeans are non whites. Ie. Canadians, Americans. South Africans?

You got 7 yrs expirience as an Engineer. I graduated as an Engineer 1998. And masters in the UK 2002. So for your 7 yrs you will be a student to me.least I forget what book did you read @1998/99 that covers the history of GW carver?

blueAgent:
I laugh. am a proffessional engineer ,with over 7years work experience.
what technicalites ? I asked u to state one theory or formular established by a black man
U could not.

Am a very busy person and commenting on all the articles am been mentioned on , is tedious. not that i fear argument. i don't lose argument.

Blacks are good as whites according to your analysis. then while are all the black nations third world nations ? with so much poverty,corruption,violence,
Why have they not developed their resources and expolit their potentials?

Why do they depend on the West to help them expolit and develop their resources.

Are their black owned companies of @least 50yrs old?
Are their black nations with GDP of aleast 800billion dollars?

You said they are equal .yes i agree before the law and God. but in terms of gift .they are never equal.

Examples of black nations. USA. ,CANADA. ,UK,you want me to go on.we have black people living there do t we.?
You said you are an Engineer good stuff of what dicipline. ?I have looked fru ur post it bears no resemblance to an Engineer's post.I haven't seen U in the science section. Or am I missing something.

blueAgent:
All this long story . for an argument U can not prove.
Show me one Black nation that is not third world?
Am done with U.

No clue of how science work and U want to argue science. You close the door when you are faced with technicalities and factual arguments without insults. .

Wailers on the loose again. This news is as fake as Buhari certificate. The writer said that the allowance was for the fight for the AU mission in Guinea Bissau. How come they are protesting in Yola? Next thread my device.

Return ur school fees with interest sharpidly!

olalat:
Stop mentioning govt. The milgtary hierarchy is very corrupt. The generals are the ones sitting on their money. AU must have released their alawee but the fat tommy gens will either cut it or outrightly sit on it. The officers treat soldiers like shit in d army. Too bad to think of.

Stop taking that cheap stuff.remind us again who is commander in chief of the Nigerian Army? ?

I have read from A-Z of your postingnone include price .why? even when you go to the manufacturer's site there is a price on it why wont our 9ja guys just put price for once so that when you receive a call it would be to buy not to haggle

EgunMogaji:
