Shameful and sad that this legalised prostitution is still praticed in Nigeria.

I am sure he doesnt let alone speak their language or ever visited any of the countries.

I am sure this is the same troll spamming the forum. What strikes me is that posters of this get a visa thread always come with having made no more than 2 or 3 posts. After being exposed they change usernames in order to foster their wheels of deception.

Who are these touts ganging up on a lady? You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

The Pakistani government has summoned Britain's high commissioner to Islamabad amid a diplomatic storm over David Cameron's comments about Pakistani attitudes to terrorism.

Adam Thomson was called in by the Pakistani foreign minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, in what was seen as a dressing down after Cameron infuriated Pakistan with his remarks while visiting India.

"The foreign minister emphasised that terrorism was a global issue and had to be dealt with by all countries in a spirit of co-operation, rather than putting the entire onus on any one country," the Pakistani foreign ministry said in a statement.

"He said Pakistan was itself a victim of terrorism and its efforts against violent extremism could not be negated."

A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We can confirm that the British high commissioner to Pakistan is meeting this morning with the foreign minister, at the request of the ministry of foreign affairs."

With the row threatening to overshadow an official visit to the UK by Pakistan's president, Asif Zardari, Downing Street said the prime minister would not apologise for his remarks but would absolve the Pakistan government of any blame for promoting extremism and violence.

Opposition parties in the country have demanded that the trip be cancelled. Pakistan's powerful military establishment has already demonstrated its anger by cancelling a visit by a delegation of intelligence officials to the UK.

Protesters burnt an effigy of the prime minister in the streets of Karachi.

Zardari – who arrives in Britain tomorrow – will "forcefully take up" the remarks when he meets Cameron, according to Pakistan's information minister, Qamar Zaman Kaira. Attention is most likely to be focused on a session with the prime minister at Chequers on Friday.

Cameron started the furore last week when he said Pakistan could no longer "look both ways" by tolerating terrorism while demanding respect as a democracy.

Pakistan's military was particularly incensed that Cameron chose to make his comments in India, Pakistan's traditional rival. Amid fears that security co-operation between Britain and Pakistan could be hit by the row, British officials have sought to play down the significance of the spat, insisting "no long-term damage" had been done by the prime minister's remarks in India.

British counter-terrorist officials make no secret of the importance they attach to security co-operation with Pakistan, although they admit the relationship can sometimes be difficult.

Gordon Brown said 75% of terrorist plots in the UK had links to Pakistan, though that figure is now said to be down to around 50% as al-Qaida's presence and operational abilities in the region have diminished. British and other Nato forces in Afghanistan are almost entirely dependent on Pakistan for their supply route.

Numerous terrorist conspiracies, some involving British nationals, have been foiled with spy agencies from the two countries working together, including the 2006 plan to blow up transatlantic airliners.

Britain's high commission in Islamabad has long included a senior representative from MI6 and also, more recently, from MI5 – a change that reflects the growth of domestic UK security concerns since the July 2005 London bombings.

The shadow foreign secretary, David Miliband, compared Cameron's diplomatic style to "a cuttlefish squirting out ink".

"Mr Cameron has used the last two weeks to make a verbal splash on foreign policy. Like a cuttlefish squirting out ink his words were copious and created a mess," Miliband said.

"The mindsets in Israel, Pakistan and Britain have all been given the once-over. But making a splash is not the same as making a difference. That is the real test, not the false trail of whether to speak straight or not."

Miliband said the prime minister should have recognised Pakistan's suffering at the hands of terrorists and the democratic progress achieved in Islamabad over recent years, rather than highlighting allegations of covert support for the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Cameron angered Israel by describing the Palestinian enclave of Gaza as "a prison camp" during a visit to Turkey last week.

Nigerians get the leaders they deserve. The cruelty of the leaders reflect the kind of people we are. We are selfish, materialistic and short-sighted.

PS. With stolen loot being invested at this level in the UK no wonder their property market has been booming for the better part of last 20 years.

If you feel too cheerful and you want to come down from your elated state please visit nairaland.

Nairaland is depressing.

Kano — No fewer than 400 Nigerians were deported to the country from the Republic of Sudan after a mass raid on foreign nationals living illegally in the country. The affected Nigerians were deported at the weekend.

The deportees who consisted of both males and females were deported through Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA). Some of them who spoke with LEADERSHIP lamented the kind of treatment meted out to them by Sudan officials before their deportation.

However, confirming the deportation to our correspondent yesterday, the Kano State Comptroller of Immigration, Mr David S Parradang, said information reaching him suggested that the number of the deportees were 186, and not 400.

One of the deportees, Malam Isayaka Mohammed, disclosed they were humiliated by Sudanese officials, who locked them up in inhuman conditions and confiscated their belongings before they were later deported to Nigeria.

Mohammed, who like most people in the group, looked emaciated, disclosed that they spent 50 days in custody without enough food. "We were fed only once everyday," he said. According to him, when the raid was conducted about two months ago, nationals of other countries were also mopped, but their respective missions intervened to protect them from being maltreated.

"When we were arrested, there were others like Nigeriens who were arrested but their countries' missions did all they could and got them released. However, Nigeria embassy did not do the same to us," Mohammed stated.

The deportee, who disclosed that he has been in Sudan for over a decade, stated that most Nigerians in the country were law-abiding and engaged in legitimate trade to make ends meet. He therefore, wondered why they were suddenly arrested

@ legitstabl

you could not have said it loudly enough. If indeed promisee or whatever the name is is a scam i am sure by now he/she would have "teared" race from the forum

what a HOLIDAY you have had. absolutely brilliant more so for a gooner like me. it felt like i went on same holiday having been following the thread abi initio.

going back to work would surely not be easy. it may well take you a week to get rid of the hangover. talking about work, you well likely fall into the lucky 1% of Nigerias who earn millions per annum cause it must cost a small fortune to finance such a trip.

DejiYesufu:
I was just going to make a post on this topic and here it is already!
WE DO NOT NEED MORE STATES IN THIS COUNTRY, WHAT WE NEED IS GOOD GOVERNANCE! The rate we are going we would may end up with every LGA becoming a state - 774!! This state creation benefis just a few people who make it to state government and begin to milk such state dry.
Let this country return to having Six geopolitical sections,with its 774 LGA. Let the power at the centre be reduced and make the LGA more powerful. Reform the electoral process, ensure free and fair electio; liberalize the energy sector and make this country move forward.
Let someone in Abuja put on someone thinking cap for once!!!

What wonderful suggestions. Unfortunately those who have an iron grip on power are well aware of what will move Nigeria forward, but because such will not favour them personally them fight tooth and nail to maintain the status quo.

this is a sweeping statement and sound to generous.

you need to come clean with the small prints like the obvious which is how much this will cost the client?

if this were the other way round a nigerian would almost defintely be executed in china for such an offence

this is politically motivated. the french prime minister nicholas sarchozy [who is barely taller than akin and pawpaw] is fanninf the flames of racism and xenophobia in his country. with is popularity at an all time low for a prime minister, he has focused his attention at attacking immigrants and those of a different colour in order to boost his ratings. his government ordered the forceful evacuation of the people in the clip.

philip0906:
Very soon they'll say its igbo boys who did that.they'll probably storm a sparepart shop in abeokuta and pick up 2 igbo boys and call them kidnappers

you are probably half right. most likely these are foreign abductors from the east, who have been driven out of the niche following the outcry after the journalists were kidnapped.

nonsense dog poo horse urine

this is surely one of the best threads on travel section ever. it epitomises what we should be seeing here.

moderators should definitely make this sticky.

i cant believe lopez still plays football. that guy should be expecting a grand child now.

this is police brutality of the highest order. the i.diot sakozy is fanning the flames of racism in france in a bid to cling to power.

@ becomrich3

that old woman for your village don begin worry you again eh.

the dress no try at all. she be like world cup mascot

These are my dream rides.

But for the Qatari Billona ire owners, they would be more bothered about dents on their cars from the clamps than the miserly £70 or so release fees.

A luxury car valued at £1.2m was clamped outside Harrods in central London after being illegally parked.

The Koenigsegg CCXR and a £350,000 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce were both clamped on the afternoon of 22 July.

Kensington and Chelsea Council said the light-blue vehicles were in serious contravention of parking rules.

The Knightsbridge store was bought by members of the Qatari royal family in April for £1.5bn.

It was bought by the Qatar Holding group, led by the Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani, from Mohammed Al Fayed.

Both the cars are very rare with the Swedish-made Koenigsegg being one of only six ever made.
'Effective deterrent'

A Harrods spokesman said: "Any matters relating to parking tickets and enforcement are strictly the domain of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea."

The council said £120 penalty charge notices were issued, but the cars were released for £70 each as the fines were paid within 14 days.

A spokesman said: "There is a greater shortage of parking space for residents in Kensington and Chelsea than practically anywhere else in the country.

"At the same time we have a huge number of visiting motorists attracted here by our fine shops, restaurants and other attractions.

"Our priority is our residents. To keep space available for them, we must deter visitors from taking up residents' bays and our experience is that clamping is simply the most effective deterrent."

Echoes of saddam hussains regime, when the football team players were thrashed for losing matches.

Only dastardly tyrants behave such

Jakumo:
Who is Pastor Okotie to think that he can compete with the MAIN MAN of GRAMMAR, the Always Mighty, Ever Popular  Grand Exalted Commander of the Dictionary and Beyond, the Right Honorable Patrick Obahiagbon ?

The best Okotie could offer in his video clip were the phrases "Terraquious Globe" and "Quotidian Operation of the Exalted God".   Frankly I was disappointed, bearing in mind that our man Patrick described himself as being maniacally bewildered, as well as overghasted and flabberwhelmed, due to his habit of taking a "bath in the political crosscurrents" of Nigeria.  There is no comparison between The Master and the poor imitator.

Pastor Okotie was clearly way out of his depth in his bumbling attempt to emulate the One and Only Patrick Obahiagbon.   Pastor Okotie should apologize IMMEDIATELY for his blasphemous rambling, and issue a solelm pledge NEVER to attempt such impudent antics again.   This is an outrage.

You tell it brother as it really is. weldone.

You sound more like a amoeba to me.

for me ramires is better as an attacking midfielder. he fitted perfectly in that role in the world club cup last yr, some of the brazillian friendlies i have seen as well as the world cup.

he is smooth, silky and a good finisher. my only doubt would be if he is physical enough to withstand the harship and brutality that can happen in the EPL.

The Cork:
Big deal, I do it all the time

story. you sure say your thing dey work sef?

you think no one would recognise your ilk here in religion. politics section has become too hot for you eh?

grow up kid, grow up. all this igbo-yoruba juvenile insults have to stop.

this is epileptic kparokpoism, fantasmagoric innuendo, pepper-soupism and suya-ism

yet again, this goes to confirm that Nigeria is ruled by a bunch of lunatics, a cabal, a mafia.

so after you don chop the yam you wan come vomit here abi.
