Hahahaha! Let me help you add the only black mayor in London. Adedamola Aminu, the Mayor of Lambeth First elected as a councillor in 2006, Councillor Aminu was elected deputy mayor last year but has been acting as mayor since February this year following the unfortunate death of Mayor Mark Bennett. At a ceremony attended by other councillors, members of the Nigerian community and representatives of the high commission, he took the oath of office yesterday. A lecturer in business and computing at South Thames College, Councillor Aminu represents Tulse Hill ward and was first elected a councillor in 2006. Councillor Aminu holds bachelor's degree in business studies from London Southbank University, a diploma in marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing, a Masters degree in marketing from Greenwich University and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Nigerians In The House Of Lords UK Parliament by LAGrejectIBO: 6:02am On May 10, 2015 |
Why are these just coming out? The answer is simple! Unlike Ibo, Yoruba don't have anything to prove, Ibos are below our level. Ibos make noise about their accomplishments because of their need to be noticed ,. They have a deficiency, they try to bridge that laxity by broadcasting their milestones, forgetting that they are just now arriving at spots Yoruba already treaded decades far much earlier. Ibos attitude is "look at me, look at me"...and if you dont notice him inspite of his loudness he kicks with tantrum. 2 Likes |

Ugly creatures! Just look at you becoming mayor in another man's land!! Igbos are not making any noise afterall those igbo men/women got Re-elected, meaning they were there in the first place. But we are making it a big deal to resonate to the fabrics of some yorubas who are suffering from igbophobia in lagos. 2 Likes |

Re: Nigerians In The House Of Lords UK Parliament by sinkhole: 9:52am On May 10, 2015 |
I guess this is counter thread But my question is, what is the impact of all those Nigerians(Ibos, Yorubas etc) outside on those of us inside? By the way, those two Yoruba Mamas are ugly(run from pebbles and broken bottles!!!!), unlike the Ibo ladies who just won elections Maybe, its because the Yoruba ladies are old and they are in the House of LORDS, compared to those COMMONERS and bloody Mayors 1 Like |
