Nigerian Woman Becomes First African Elected Councillor in Leeds- UK by Built2last(op):
A Nigerian woman Abigail Marshall Katung from Kaduna state becomes first African to win the 2nd of May 2019 Council elections.

People left Nigeria to an unknown land. They were accepted. They go for elective positions and whites queue up to elect them because of their competence.

In my country, they trace your ancestors to determine whether you should be voted for or appointed. I weep for my country after seeing other climes.

If Abigail returns to Nigeria no matter how competent she is. They will subject her to religious bias and ethnic chauvinism till she is frustrated and bows out.


Warmest Congratulations to her.

where are the omoluabis in all this? we dominate UK in numbers but we live mostly in low-hood areas of every city, allowing Ibos and other tribes take control of the corridors of power. i keep repeating that unbridled hate and jealously that our present generation is known for won't do the job rather, hardwork will.
