John Abraham Godson, a Polish citizen born and raised in Nigeria, has been sworn in as the first black member of Poland's parliament.

Mr Godson had served as a councillor in the city of Lodz before taking up a parliamentary seat, vacated by a party colleague after local elections.

His entry into parliament has created a media stir in the mainly white country.

He came to Poland in the 1990s, opening an English-language school and working as a pastor in a Protestant church.

He has since married a Polish woman and the couple have four children.

Beaten up twice
A member of the centre-right Civic Platform party, he was appointed to the seat vacated by party colleague Hanna Zdanowskaafter after she became mayor of Lodz.

It is still quite rare to see black people even in the Polish capital Warsaw, Poland's most cosmopolitan city, the BBC's Adam Easton reports.

Racism is still a problem in Poland, where it is not uncommon for well-educated people to make racist jokes, our correspondent says.

Mr Godson was beaten up twice in the early 1990s but he says attitudes to black people in Poland are changing for the better, particularly since the country joined the EU six years ago.

Speaking earlier to Polish radio, Mr Godson said: "I am from Lodz, I will live here, I want to die here and I want to be buried here."

I laugh in Buhari!

During Shagari's rule, a senate committee (headed by Olusola Saraki) traced our missing $2.8billa NNPC money to Buhari's London Midland bank account. He got the reporter (Vera Ifudu) who read out the facts on NTA sacked (she later sued, won the case and got compensation.

Buhari simply hasn't been "caught", because of soldiers penchant for burning down whole buildings, staging coups etc just to get rid of evidence. Buhari is most likely struggling for democratic power now to get rid of the last traces of incriminating evidence against him (since the coup route don block wella).

If no be to cover evidence, den e mean say Buhari loot don finis and e wan com chop.

trust nigerians! they can go to any length, spurn any yarns.

actually i dont have anything in mind when i decided to open this thread. It is probabably to test my theory that nigerians can post on any thing, lol

Nigerians are so worthless that don't see anything good until it's gone. A segment of Nigerian society does not see anything good about anybody that is not their own. they see themselves as superior. anything no matter how good is bad to their blind egotistical assholes. they bring religion and ethnicity to completely divorced issues. when are we gonna wake up, huh??huh!!!

there is no basis for comparison. mark zuckerberg would be livid to read this scandalous thread!

It always baffles me to realize how much i enjoyed it given that i spend half the day trying to dodge peoples's spit

@wal,
after attaching your ppt to the form(4 on the front, 2 inside) you will take them to any magistrate court and have them endorsed. No affidavit is needed. However, there an oath form attached with the application which you will sign.

I have obtained and completed my forms. pls if anyone have any clue on the test questions should help me especially with past Questions. I applied for computing and information engineering. I suppose test questions vary according to fields of study. I would appreciate past questions on IT.
