My dear Linda,they see themselves as British not Nigerians,ask them where they are from they will tell u Britain

Unknown said...

Are they really Nigerian?

Anonymous said...

Why have you qualified them as Nigerians? Having Nigerian names does NOT make them Nigerians, sure they have Nigerian roots, but that is where it ends.

Unknown said...

GOOD FOR THEM BUT DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY, WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE EXCELLENT CROP OF HUMAN RESOURCES THE WASTEFUL NIGERIA IS NATURALLY BLESSED WITH.

IF ANYBODY THINKS ANY OF THESE PEOPLE WILL SWAY THE IMPERIALIST U.K POLICY IN THE FAVOUR OF US NIGERIAN PEASANTS, THEN YOU HAVE SADLY ONCE AGAIN BEEN CAUGHT DAYDREAMING.

Technically they may not consider themselves Nigerians as they may not have ever stepped foot on the African soil. They are Britons with Nigerian ancestry. We too like good things

These ones don tey there na. They are reping us so well. At least these shows that we ain't that bad after all and can be in the news for a good reason. Wishing them all the best.

Did they tell you they are nigerians? Be claiming people who don't care about Nigeria. That is why UK is better. They see themselves are British. The igbo man will come to lagos and want to win as an igbo man rather than calling him self a lagosian. At least you try for this post linda. You no call Igbo

Chikaka said...

Helen Grant was in Labour and moved to the Conservative/Tory Party about ten years ago. Luckily, she's doing well there.

I have voted already and hopefully Miliband will win. We will hear more of Chuka once Labour is in government. He's very vocal and one of Miliband's foot soldiers.

“For the Igbos and others in Lagos(UK), they should go where the Oba of Lagos (Queen of England) heads to. When they were coming to the state(London), they didn’t come with all their houses. But now they have properties in the state. So they must do my bidding. And that is the bidding of the ancestors of Lagos and God. I am not begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere you can not do it here. If you do what I want, Lagos (UK) will continue to be prosperous for you, if you go against my wish, you will perish in the water.(Thames)”..........Imagine Queen of England saying this?

Hehehe! Her Majesty is not barbaric at all. She has never verbally abused any race including Nigerians and does not harass anyone in her kingdom.

She can never threaten to throw a person into the River Thames for not supporting her candidate because the Queen has no special or unique candidate like the Oba of Lagos. Which university and Law School did he attend? Is he really a lawyer or just a law graduate?

Anonymous said...

There is no proof Ms. Grant's root is yoruba. And does it even matter? Everything bad can be found in every tribe, just like good things too can be found in all ethnicity.
