Nigerians in diaspora keep​ making us proud
While our useless politicians keep destroying us

And some useless set of people are even threatening some people to leave their region

I say God purnish them....I repeat God purnish them!!.

Must everything be competition?

No. You have a problem with my comment? Thought the thread is about celebrating Nigerians that won election into UK Parliament.

Nice one!... it can only be igbo.

PenisCaP:
No but it reeks of inferioirity complex.
Just becox she is igbo u have to bring up ur yoruba brother.

Why not open.a.thread for it.

We can celebrate all Nigerians that won election into the UK Parliament without opening multiple threads. They all have Nigerian connections so, what's the problem? Stop the tribalism.

How can you develop Nigeria?

A country ruled by illiterates who are more interested in stopping intelligent people from getting to power. A country ruled by old men.

Wow, you are so insecure! Kemi has always done well in British politics for years, this lady here is new to the scene, what's wrong in celebrating her without someone like you trying to bring her down?

Don't forget Jonathan ruled this country along mama peace and he's not an illiterate. Your excuse not genuine enough
