'Register to vote' is basically to allow them vote (which can be updated when they move). You wouldn't pay more if more than two adults are living there.

Fi egbon / aburo si le o make him vote cheesy .. . We need the numbers wink

I like the 'we need the numbers' part. Every legal means of making the numbers effective should be utilized. UK is a powerful country and we need to have more Africans contributing to its greatness. I admire the Asians that appears to be predominant in almost everywhere you turn, and they are doing this 'codedly'. I will be proud to see more Kemi Badenoch in exalted positions in both public and private sectors.

Gosh. I may have been giving you outdated information. It does appear like you need another biometrics appointment.
I do apologise. Should have checked beforehand

I lost mine around October last year. I applied for a new one in December and got it this January. I think I spent close to £300 for everything.
Thank you for the apt response. I'm grateful.

Remember that letter it came with? Where is it? You don't need a recapture but you do need the details on the letter for the reissue.
Thank you for the information. Going through the process on UKVI it directed that £19 be paid but he was then taken to the biometric capturing to further pay £139 and book a date. Please kindly, explain further. The letter is available. £139 is not small.

First, Hamas is not equivalent to Palestine.

I find your bolded statement on black history very aborhent and ignorant. Every single right you enjoy as a black man in the West today (bar none) was the product of blood and tears.

Know the history of these men before you sully their names in mud. Mandela was christened a terrorist by Margaret Tatcher and the ANC as a terrorist organisation. Mandela remained on the US terror watch list until 2008. Think about that. We could also highlight how the US saw MLK during his time. Know their history before eulogising them.

Let me ask was Mandela ever a terrorist and if yes, at what point did he stop becoming one?

P.s. if responding, think carefully beforehand so you don't anger the West
. I know Mandela's violent past when he was ANC youth leader but where did that take him. He made more gains by preaching peace and self sacrifice. Martin Luther and Ghandi also paid the ultimate price for what they believed. You are the ignorant person here if you think terrorism (Hamas) is the best approach. If you are so pained, kindly take a gun and head to Palestine.

I really don't understand why some people cannot think straight. You hit someone with an hammer and start crying when he brings out a gun? Does hamas care about the suffering of their people? For the fact that they are still keeping Israeli hostage and firing rockets shows they are interested in fighting and ready for the consequences.
What have the Palestinians suffered that has not been suffered by Black people in the past, yet we don't go around killing and kidnapping. Let the terrorists drop their weapons and give activism a chance. At least Black people had persons like Martin Luther, Mandela and India had Ghandi. It may take time and sacrifice but things would eventually get better.
justwise:


I recently unfollowed a longtime friend on facebook because of this, we used to share a house when I was a student and his anti western views is outrageous, since this war started my Facebook timeline is full of videos clips and pro Hamas materials.
You can criticise certain western policies without hating the west with passion.

Russian and Chinese embassies are pretty much empty while getting an appointment for American visa applications take months, people sale all they have, borrowed and engaged in all sorts of fraudulent activities just to get UK visa but they hate the west?

How many of us will live in Russia or china and at the same time openly speak or support American or the west?

My dear I live in South Africa and I can tell u that South Africa independence was never achieved through violence but dialogue and even a lot of concessions where made by black South Africans which is still being upheld up until today....try to research on this pls.

Hamas just took 1000 miles backward in their struggle and I doubt they can survive this and yet again Palestine will suffer a huge setback because a lot of international aide will be withdrawn making the citizens to suffer more.
This is exactly my point. The world knows the true freedom fighters and they are still being celebrated. E.g. Ghandi, Luther King, Mandela, hamas are led by fools that only bring hardship on their people.

Let me school you: Mandela did not change strategy. In fact, he went to prison for 27 years than "change strategy". What did the violence achieve? It drew attention of the world to the plight of the oppressed blacks and that was how they were eventually able to get the oppressor to back down. Do you know how many people all over the world have gone to read up about this whole Israel palenstine issue since Saturday? It was exactly same during South Africa time, I'm over 40years old, I can still remember seeing in the news how the western media tried to brand ANC as terrorists. Meanwhile, they killed blacks for fun everyday, it doesn't make the news. If there is no armed conflict, there won't be a dialogue to resolve the root issues. The oppressor will just keep having his way. Isreal kills palenstines daily, but no sympathy because everyone hates their religion. Leave all this talk about your mother's side being muslim. Its the same way racist whites say they are not racists because they have black friends. No need to mask anything, own up to what you hate. Palenstine women and kids are killed daily, without provocation. The videos are there, but you don't see them as humans.
If it really pains you take a gun and head to Gaza. Go luck with you/ Hamas and your violent way.
You can't change my perspectives of life at this age. What blacks suffered for generations is greater than what Palestinians are facing, yet they were eventually liberated.
Lastly, do not tag me a hateful person. I hate no one.

You are trying to be economical with the truth. ANC had a militia arm that carried out attacks which was what prompted its designation as a terrorist organisation by the West. Mandela as one of its leaders - infact he cofounded uhmkhonto-we-sizwe the militant arm and was sent to prison for their activities. Just say you hate those people's religion, rather than trying to revision history.
You're talking about borders, Israel has no borders, they took people's lands and keep expanding into the whats left of those lands everyday. Religious hate won't let you see the truth and say it.
And what did ANC achieve with violence?
I'm saying that Mandela wouldn't have been so popular if he didn't change strategy and used peaceful resolution.
Seems you don't realize the amount of sympathy Palestinians just lost due to that senseless massacre.
Which land are you talking about? Were you there during historical events and helped them mapped their land?

Note: I don't hate any religion. My mum's side is Muslim.
Peaceful resolution may take time but it's surely the most enduring.

All the highlighting that has been done, what was the result? Did you give a fvck? 2.4m people held in the largest open air prison in the world, did you give a fvck? All because of their religious persuasion.
Is it not the same apartheid the whites did against blacks in South africa, taking their lands, killing them? How do you think the blacks eventually freed themselves? The ANC was classified by the west as a terrorist organisation because without launching attacks against the powerful oppressor, the world won't give a fvck. Yes, they would be killed in retaliation , but are they not being killed everyday without the world pretending not to notice?
This open air prison doesn't fly. You mean Israel should keep their borders open, when we all know that they are surrounded by enemies.
ANC did not achieve their aim by going about killing senselessly like we just witnessed.
Mandela and Ghandi are still regarded as true freedom fighters till date.

If you take up arms then be ready for the consequences (simple ABC).

South Africa should thank their stars that the Europeans who colonized them had the decency of using their resources to make their country a better place.

Had these black folks - who consider fellow blacks their problem - had been the ones running the country after independence, South Africa would have been by far worse than South Sudan.
My problem is the moderators that permit these big mouth to be talking nonsense here. Can't we have self respect for once?
I lived in SA for three years for PG studies and can assure you that their government has created enough benefits and support programs for them.
They should work on themselves and make their lives better instead of looking for foreigners to blame for their family and academic failures

This is an upgrade on Anikulapo, you are talking about storyline ,yet infusing Anikulapo into the discussion, Anikulapo's storyline is very basic but aided by other good production components. Anikulapo is even inferior to King of thieves when you compare storyline....I no know how una dey watch una movies?

Who told you Yorubas don't use swords in fighting back in the days? Yorubas use short knives, Spears, double edged sword, single edged sword but the only misconception is that Yorubas swords are darker in shade, about the arena, where do you expect warriors to train? On the farm?

Abeg, that movie is the best Nollywood movie this decade. Even foreign outlets are in awe, I have read extremely positive reviews from British, Indian and American blogs.
I admire your view. One thing that also stands out is the use of proverbs/poetry in their dialogue. That can hardly be replicated by any movie genre.Typical Yoruba.

Wacky storyline. Nice visual effect.

Yorubas don't fight like Spartacus in war or in a fight challenge, the ending is so predictable and the story line is so tacky - A bad replica of "the woman king" movie.

Femi Adebayo, dressing like a roman king, which I found so alien - should not have acted that part - Chatta or Lalude could have been spot on.

Wars were fought like Romans army with swords. Yorubas used charms to fight in their wars.

All in all, for me:

Story Line - 20%

Visual Effect - 65%

Anikulapo movie still remains distant number 1.

Yorubas used both spiritual and physical weapons, stop misleading people. You are entitled to your other opinion (eg casting, costume)

As much as I enjoyed your post and documented experience, however I think the west (particularly UK and US) remain the most friendly to the Black people. We can all see the sizeable representation in many works of life (e.g. sports, education, economy).
Being a friendly nation is more than just smiling at people but giving opportunity to them where it matters.
I'm happy many nations are becoming more inclusive these days.
I wish you blessings in your new adventure.
