You started this thread for all wrong reasons, this has nothing to do with white superiority conditioning/inferiority.

The recent killing and mop attack in London is high for a fact but its not usually like that.

You also have to remember that all these crimes are committed by young blacks men.

You can't compare recent crime rate in London to what happens in many cities in Nigeria

That's wat they told you so u keep looking down on urself. Go to Google and type Vincent burgler UK.

What I agree with is all these crimes are committed by MEN due to toxic masculinity. I've not seen any woman involved in perpetrating London's violence.
Re: London Vs Ikoyi/vi/asokoro/maitama/Lekki by BigBashiru(op): 7:08pm On Jun 17, 2018
Anyway my point is UK has social problems just like Nigeria. These days u hv to watch ur back in london. White & black youths commit crime a lot.

Any study to support this? And why is the same masculinity not prevalent in Tokyo or Singapore (safest cities globally according to the Economist Intelligent Unit)?

He is not comparing London to "many cities in Nigeria". I believe he specifically mentioned 5 places in Nigeria and a parameter, the crime rate (security) of which he is 100% correct.

The killings and Moped attacks may not be "usually like that" but it still shows London is less safe than Ikoyi or Victoria Island. I could also argue based on your defense that Maiduguri is a safe city since terror attacks were also "usually not like that" and the killings are high for a fact.

I haven't lived in Maitama while I have only been to Asokoro thrice. But I schooled in VI, Worked at Ikoyi and yes, Lekki is my hometown (Yes, hometown. Don't be surprised smiley ). So I can speak for these places.

I live in Germany and I have been to London a couple of times, and I can boldly say that in terms of Security (crime), these 3 areas are much better than London, Paris and Frankfurt.

What is the official crime figure for those 3 areas you mentioned in Nigeria? Point out where it's published.

Comparing boko haram attacks in Maiduguri to crime in London is just an embarrassing joke
Re: London Vs Ikoyi/vi/asokoro/maitama/Lekki by edi287: 6:53am On Jun 18, 2018
What a moronic statement. You compared the WHOLE CITY of London to few choice places in Lagos.
Why didn't you compare Lekki/VI/Asokoro/Ikoyi to Chelsea Sw3 and other wealthy places in London??
Stop smoking weed!

Right, comparing upscale Nigeria to average parts of another country is fair isn’t it? It also depends on the parts of London. The affluent areas of London will be just as safe if not safer but the poorer areas and middle class areas obviously not.

Many people in particular wealthy Nigerians tend to overrate how good the country is. Nigeria is finished as a country. It was never a real country to begin with. Even, the affluent areas of Nigeria still have third world problems like bad roads, poor sewage system etc.

Lagos is more dangerous than Mexico City. Crime and Insecurity in Latin America is nowhere near as bad as Africa not to talk of all of the West.
