Give people security on your buses, and do not overcrowd, that should make you unique and make your pockets grow.

I have been called "Bigsis" in another thread, and now i being called another name. I love where i live, is that a problem? US vs UK? I take the US. Represent your location!

@Skidoc

Where did u say u lived?

Kiwibabe

They were committing a crime and should be deported ASAP. You can call their crime fraud, because the are working with fraudlent N.I numbers and collecting benefits they should not receive. That is called fraud. Now the dumb part is that they went to work at the home office. Lolol

Dude

I love this country too!! Bro! I feel you.

How dumb could these Illegals be? I guess it was greed! I hope they get deported ASAP. People like these make Nigeria look bad. Send them home.

@Topic

I have to back Mariory here too. We cannot complain about corruption as a system of existence in Nigeria and then turn around and feed the Beast. Pay N5000 for your passport and demand it in due time without having to bribe anybody.

@4 play
Please stop encouraging bad behavior, and justifying what our corrupt officials are doing. It does not matter whether it is happening at the Passport office in Ikeja or at the Airport. If we as citizens do not stop handing out bribe in the name of convenience, then we should all accept what ever our country turns out to be.

@Hotstepper
Good! Ask your friend. Have you been to London yourself?

Inka

Do not waste your money. It is not worth visiting, and yes people watch TV on their computers so as to avoid the TV Tax. In the US every Tom, privates, and stephen has a big screen, or plasma, or something that does not make your eyes go bad while watching. The place is messed up. I still want to know what exactly an average Nigerian in the US will relocate to the UK for. Nigerians use London as a spring board to the US, where they eventually would love to end up.

@Emmie4j

Nice one bro on your comments about the army. Ain't this a great country? You can feel the passion Nigerian Americans use to defend their base, the UK based Nigerians are more timid about their love for their base. It is almost like they are not sure if they really like it. The best thing i did was leave that country. I remember the tight living space.By the way we are winning the poll by nearly a 2 to 1 margin. I think that people are not being honest in their voting, we should be more like 80% US and 20% UK.

New York and LA and Miami sets the trends, and clothes are now sent to Milan to be made or even Paris. But where the trend starts from is NYC,LA,OR MIAMI.Girl you have cable right? What shows are you watching or stuck on? Mostly American right. 24,Sex in the city,CSI Miami,Friends,Alias,American Idol,Lost,Deal or no deal,Sienfeld,Niptuck ETC.Even old shows are still setting trends ETC. This is where the world trends start from. When the stars wear clothes, then others follow their lead.Name one British show that is universally known. Please what does the UK really have to offer?Other than the Monarchy, what else does the UK have right now that we can envy? Tea?Fish and Chips?
UK= America's "Out of Wedlock" Child.

Mariory

I hope you are as passionate about CCTV Camera's everywhere. Well defend where you live, i am defending where i live. Tell me what is better in the UK. Strong army= Safety. I like capitalism over socialism, the economy is by far the worlds largest, unemployment is @ 4,5%. And that is including 7% of the population that is Illegal. Please tell me what else i need. Business is booming, home ownership is at a record, the middle class is strong here.

Compare that to Britain, where the people are as cold as the weather, everyone walks and talks like there is something stuck up their a$$es. Rooms are small, roads are tiny, living expenses are like off the chain. You are Taxed for owning a TV, waiting list to remove your aching tooth. Gas prices are unbelievable, therefore no one drives, right hand drive sucks as hell, 5-10 people share a home like college frat dorms. Call me crazy, but i am sure a lot of you are just accepting the place. Unlike America, it is EZ to fall in Love with this Joint. I have lived in both countries and there is no question, the USA Kicks A$$.

UK Patient:Doctor my tooth aches badly
UK Dentist:Here is some Advil, we can remove it in 3-6months. You will survive the pain.(Thanks to the fraud called National health for the Poor)

US Patient:Doctor my Tooth hurts Badly
US Dentist: When do you want it removed.

US uninsured Patient: Doctor I do not have Insurance but i need to get this damn tooth out. It hurts like hell.
US Dentist: We can put you on a payment plan, when do you want it removed.

US Action speaks, In the UK it is one big freaking Bureaucracy.

@Skidoc
Where do u live?

@Skidoc

I hope you are done waxing your eyebrows, i do not struggle and did not struggle to get into the US. The USA is better, bigger, and of course Capitalism over socialism anyday. To all those that have not been to both and are making noise,i am not sure of your argument. If you told 10 Brits to relocate to the US, i think 7 of 10 would. If you gave Americans the same offer, maybe 1 of 10 would take the offer. The UK has nothing to offer.Here is what we have to offer and you guys in the UK counter this.

NewYorkCity: Financial Capital of the world, Fashion Capital of the world.

Miami: The most Beautiful Women on the Planet reside in Miami FL.

Las Vegas Nevada:The world's Playground

Seattle: Microsoft, and home of the world famous coffeemaker Starbucks

Washington DC: Capital of the Free world

Los Angeles, CA: Home of all the worlds Celebrities, and where all the movies and stars reside.

Palo Alto CA: The brains of the earth, reside in Silicone Valley.

We have the strongest Army in the world, the biggest economy, and the best political and Judicial system.Democracy every country strives to achieve. Someone said that the UK has more fashion, and in the same post said Brits come to the US for cloth shopping. Lololol. How many of you Brits on Nairalanders have been to the US? Please if you have been to both countries, please specify. A lot of you are talking from what you see on TV.

@Baby4u
Good Looking out.By the way i like your dark skin color!

Baby4u2

For real, are they real? I am sure you are proud to own them. They really fit you.

Topic

Mide is the only truthful one here. The UK actually and truly sucks. The people really are stiff. My God! all these Haters. Mide the US embassy is in downtown London near Hyde Park. Go and apply for a visa and come over please. But can anyone tell me why there are so many Arabs in that Country? Even Hungry Sudanese are trying to Bomb the Tube, and at the same time apply for welfare. I would take a Latino over an Arab anyday. Spanish work hard, Arabs destroy Hardwork.

Avocat
I can see a doctor in SA or Brazil and bill my Insurance company. Please do not say stuff you are not sure of.

My2cents
Please help me carry the torch. You are more eloquent than i am.

@Lowerbwoy
Now you are really sounding Ignorant.

@Baby4u2

Mine is a fact! Too many damn Arabs, too expensive, too damn tight, welfare society, police look like wimps, too many Nigerians, too many pick pockets in London. Right hand driving is a fraud. The government system is a joke. When we sneeze here in the US, the UK catches pneumonia. Please even Blair does not have a mind of his own. He foolishly followed Bush into Iraq and now Labour is in trouble. Hey baby by the way are your twins real? If so Nice ones!!

Topic

It is a simple choice. Small cramped welfare state vs Large and free market society. This is from someone who have Lived in both countries. The UK as a whole SUCKS bigtime. And while you are it, throw in Scotland,Wales, Ireland in there for me . And for the record the Queen is a LovePeddler. The Monarchy is a damn fraud to keep you all in check. And the Taxes are just straight up inhumane.

Constantin

Have you been to the US BEFORE? Or you are telling me what you see on TV? Trendy bars? Please!! Miami, NYC,Vegas,LA,Boston,Washington DC, Seattle. They Brits come here to buy stuff and move here at record rates. The reverse is not happening. Constantin i like you bro, but you have to be off today bro. You are comparing the US to Nigeria? Please rethink your statement, it just screams ignorance". That cannot even be an opinion.

@My 2 cents

You are damn right. Look at the embassies in NYC or DC and there is no one there, look at the US embassy in London and there is always a long waiting period.

Dude

As far as i am concern i see Arabs in London, Iranians, Iraqi's,Saudi's,Paki's and all those with long beards and wearing that white dress and a rag on their head. They are all over London and they run the stores, newspaper stands and are mostly British citizens . I do not care whether they are Sikh,Muslim,Buddist ETC. All i know is they are too many in the UK and they are more loyal to their home than the UK. That is why they blow $hit up and continue protest with hate filled speeches and sermons. People like the one eyed cleric, and his followers. That mess would not fly here.

Not to talk of the cost of Living, 2gig Ipod in the US is $149, the same Ipod in London is 150GBP. Like i said Nigerians run there i guess because they do not have a choice. If you have a choice and you are still there, more power to you.

@Lowerbwoy

No hatred here bro. I have lived there long, long time ago.And i do not regret my move. Plus too many Camera's (CCTV) everywhere. Too many Arabs/Muslims. Life is hard there and i am went back recently and wandered how people survive there. But i must say i do "Hate" the whole Monarchy Bull$hit".

I have Lived in both and you guys can have the UK. Healthcare with waiting list is better than HMO or PPO? Wow you guys are something. Better social life, better education? Please! You guys know better. Has any of you visited the US? The UK is an American wannabe.Someone said Transport system is better, we drive here God dammit! You have to be on a train or bus everyday and then here comes the bombers. The USA has more than 6,000 Universities and has the world's best colleges. Big Homes, big cars,massive freeways, huge malls, Amusement parks, casinos, sports stadiums everywhere, relatively low taxes. Best of all as long as you are born here you become an instant US citizen, regardless of where your parents are from.

All the good shows in the UK are American, everything the US does, the UK wants to copy. I will let you guys have the UK and dwell in that moshpit. Please!!

Tochi

He got me confused too. I guess he is not in America.I think world wide, McDonald's control anything that has to do with a Burger,Fries and drink. It is a world brand that makes some countries even beg to get a single franchise. People actually say things like "We have a McDonald's in our country".

Nutter

Did you say Burger king was bigger than McDonald's? The fries is a matter of personal choice. I prefer Wendy's to both of them, but i am sorry McDonald's probably is twice the size of burger king, at least in the US. Number of stores,dollar menu, traffic thru their doors, market share, ETC. Burger King is not close to touching McDonald's. I am basing my stats solely from the US market.

I love it here in the US. Do not like the UK system of government, healthcare system nor the cost of living. To be honest, i do not know why anyone would want to live in the UK. I would rather live in SA than in the UK anyday. Everything is so bloody expensive and yet Africans are begging for asylum. Beyond my comprehension! And plus there are too many Arabs in Birmingham and London for my liking, i cannot live with people who blow $hit up in the name of Allah. Call me racist, i do not care.That is the 411.Dare i talk about the stingy Indians and Paki's. You guys are bold.

Naira 15,000 is about $100. For that amount i would say your options include the casino, see if you can double it, pure water, recharge cards, or just straight sell some kind of airtime from your phone.

@Scorpio

More like 70%. I am sure he had a bad experience.

Reverend

That is Harsh. Has a lot of truth to it, but nevertheless very harsh.
