While
speaking at the launch of his grassroots initiative to fight diabetes and
high blood pressure on Saturday
in Port Harcourt, Philanthropist and chairman of New Nation, Charles Dukwe said 70% of homes on London's most expensive
area, Edgerton Crescent is owned by Nigerians. He said that UK citizens including international stars can't afford houses in
that area because they are very expensive.
Is this true? Any ex-governor's son/daughter who can verify this? *straightface*"There is a street in London; it is called Edgerton Crescent. Edgerton Crescent is the most expensive street in the world. Houses there are worth £3m to £4m. British celebrities that have money don’t buy houses on that street. They will tell you it is too expensive. But 70% of the houses there are owned by Nigerians" he said
This just gave me a high blood pressure.
ReplyDeleteLinda, wait make I go knock for dem doors, the people wey go open door fit tell me shaa. I dey come oo.
DeleteLinda dear! It's spelled "Egerton and not Edgerton"
DeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
Boko haram should go for politician and leave poor people alone
DeleteI just became diabetic.
DeleteLool, abeg make e come down o
DeleteHahahahaha. This just game me a good laugh. Linda, I go come give you kpomo and jollof rice for inside cell. Hehehe. Just messing around. Well, there's a tiny bit of truth inhere. It is true it's the most expensive street but 70% of the houses there are not owned by Nigerians, not even Africa. Except they don't use their name...
DeleteI am related to a retired " Group General Manager in NNPC", in fact he has two houses in this street
ReplyDeleteReally! !! In this street? Wow!!! Speak your language instead no crime doing so. English is a lil problem for you
DeleteLoL. Thanks anonymous 11:03. The unfortunate thing is that the original writer prob doesn't get it
DeleteLindiway I've no doubt about this.
ReplyDeleteWhen you travel abroad on vacation or business trips. They conclude you have so much money on you to spend being a Nigerian. Not knowing not everyone has that opportunity to steal from the national treasury.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Zip it Bona, when have u travelled abroad to know?? The fact that your only job is commenting on Linda blog does not mean that they are not opportunities in Nigeria. Not because Linda pays u 100k a year and Nokia gives u a new phone, u suddenly feel like u have travelled
DeleteBonario pls shut up ur mouth..U are talking as if u ve travelled out before,abi no be u be dat bonario dat celebrated his birthday sum time ago wey Linda show us how u dey,with dat ur okirika trouser and shoe,u sure say u don go Lagos before??
DeleteLinda if it's true,what you gonna do? I'm not surprised tho,this is all "they" know how to do.
ReplyDeleteShygal
Is Charles just Noticing that there are Nigerians who can afford to buy Nigeria if ever we put it on sail? People Stilling Billions of Dollars from the Nigeria Govt. everyday and here he is talking about 3 to 4 Million BPD house.
ReplyDeleteSale mot sail Wilson Omo'Cole
DeleteAfter this one will claim he lives in America. We are not 'sailing' Nigeria to anywhere sha.
DeleteSale* stealing*
DeleteGo back to your elementary school and learn how to spell, my friend.
Delete*sale* not sail. (Where are they sailing to?)
*stealing* not stilling. (You don't spell as you pronounce).

ReplyDelete~D great anonymous!
Hmmm, Nigeria my country since our oil no dey dry, I never see why our people ll stop buying expensive houses in abroad. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
ReplyDeletea lot of Nigerians do own houses on that street but 70% is over exaggeration. A lot of foreigners live/ own house there not just Nigerians
ReplyDeleteSure linda, I personally bought a houz dia during ma dad's 1 yr in seat as a governor
ReplyDelete#umB/£ says so. .
Hmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteTrust Nigerians, they don't want to be the last. Any which way is a way just to make a name, that is why we always land in trouble.
ReplyDeleteNa we be badt guys.
ReplyDeleteLinda u dey ask weather na true re u a leaner so before u don't know?? Abeg go meet onyx ur boy friend make we hear word jor..
ReplyDelete*whether* and *learner*

DeleteDo you stay at okoko?
DeleteWell who doesnt like enjoyment and besides i dont see anything wrong in having such a house in one of the coolest city in the world….
ReplyDelete.

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Linda, what do you expect. This can't be true. Though Nigerians value great Shelter but 70% is just a speculation.
ReplyDeleteAm a son of a senator and my dad owes houses only in Nigeria and USA, I can proudly say he built them with his money not government money and he has no house in London
ReplyDeleteHe should have sent u to good schools instead of building those houses.
DeleteIs he owing? *owns*
DeleteWill u shut that trap u call a mouth?a senator and he built his house with his money..aw insensitive art thou? Poor guilible and boko-haramic creature! Truth be told, ur father steals!
DeleteYour father is a thief,so the son of a thief is ?
DeleteYes it true, we own a house there and also in Victoria, I know a few Nigerian's too but it won't be fair if I name drop!
ReplyDeletethere's no biggie about this,go to miami,beverly hills,LA;rihanna side oh and u will know hw fa.it's just £3m.
ReplyDeleteLool....straight face or bend face! Dat won't change d fact
ReplyDeleteWell, it's always a welcomed idea to acquire such things cuz it always appreciates. I'm an advocate of real estate business, it's one of the business I dream of and I pray for God's blessing to achieve that. However, in real estate so many factors has to be considered. Example I'm presently serving in the north and it's quite funny to see non Northerners (Igbos) still build houses here. The funny thing is an indigene will never buy that back from you once sold, they have more than enough and you end up selling for less than quarter of the price when the need be( Crisis) it probably doesn't relate to the topic but it's a pressing issue which the Igbos need to look into. Don't go developing other people's land, come back home and develop first before any other place. Charity they say begins at home. #MyTenCents.
ReplyDeletena true talk
DeleteDis is d problem I have with Igbo's. Limited streamlined mindset. What is wrong with building houses outside Igbo land? Is it not Nigeria? Are u not Nigerians? Are u frm Pluto?
DeleteAnonymous whoever, if you do not understand the context of my message then keep your opinions to yourself or better still read again before you comment ignorantly. Thank you.
DeleteSo true lindiway...my dad owns 1.Fejik
ReplyDeleteNigerians sabi chop monies no be money. Linda who are you expecting to answer your question? Funny you.
ReplyDeleteNke ahu gbasara ha!
ReplyDeleteits alright......
ReplyDeleteThe guy is talking nonsense. The most expensive street is Bishop's Avenue aka "Billionaire's row" and it's where Lakshmi Mittal, one of the Ecclestone daughters, Arab billionaires and Russian oligarchs live. Naija government officials can't even afford houses there. Just people like Adenuga and Dangote. The houses on that street cost £40-£100 million pounds, to even more than that. This £4 million pounds the man is calling, you can see ordinary 3 bedroom flat in knightsbridge for that amount. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
ReplyDeleteLinda you sef for don carry do ya own research na. Biko this man na olodo, typical Naija man wey dey tok rubbish just to make una bloggers caRry am.
DeleteMy thoughts exactly, Anon 9.31pm. Only £4m? That man was yarning dust.
DeleteIgbenedions get house there oh!
DeleteSpoken well, but don't compare Adenuga to Dangote or even Mittal? It will surprise you that some northern nigerians personally own vast oil wells worth more than Dangote and Adenuga combined and yet they don't even make noise.
DeleteLast Bullet: Few select people own half if not all this country and there's really nothing Jonathan can or will do about it.
-Dick Simmons
Actually linda is right the most expensive street in London is egerton street however the houses go for about £7million pounds, not for. Bishops avenue is actually the second most expensive street for about 5-6million. A quick google search would have told you that.
DeleteLinda dis is sooo true..Nigerians own most of d houses..I gat two frnds staying in dis area..houses ova dia are soo expensive..#780m or even a billion.........................#KingOfKings
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....na wa ooo...all our moni...God fight 4 us o.
ReplyDeleteLinda, this info (from the man) is NOT accurate. The most expensive street in the world cannot boast of houses worth just 3-4 million of pounds, with due respect (cos dats stil a lotta mulla). However, there are numerous streets globally with houses worth several tens of millions of pounds..The facts are everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI very much doubt it I live in London and iv never heard such he should stop lying there jor
ReplyDeleteI very much doubt it I live in London and iv never heard such he should stop lying there jor

ReplyDeleteWeda is true or not d point dis guy is making is simple come and invest in ur country or more so,u can use dat money 2 help,d only joy I Ave is we all shall die 1day,d evil men do no longer live after dem,but live wit dem d law has change.
DeleteThis is a good report but who are the owners of these houses businessmen or career (corrupt) politicians?
ReplyDeleteOff course this is true Linda n dis int even es sef! Na today????
ReplyDeleteGood thing, the value is gonna go down then.
ReplyDeleteI don't need a prophet b4 I believe, Naija is well corrupt ~Onahboy
ReplyDeleteIs egerton nd not edgerton akpamuuuu! You don't even know what you are talking about
ReplyDeleteI trust 9ja we dey represent, am proud of 9ja abeg
ReplyDeleteProceeds of Corruption and Treasury looting.
ReplyDeleteStupid thieves. Steal money from your country( nigeria) and take to invest in London and other foreign nations and you think you smart. This is part of the curse working against nigerian. Evil towards their own. You just have to know white man don't want your black monkey ass thouGh they smile in your face.
ReplyDeleteThat where they embazzle all our crude oil money. CrookS politician.
ReplyDelete£4m, most expensive ? You have to be joking. That's small money now. Abeg stop that joke. Where you put the Arabs, Chinese and Brazillians abeg?
ReplyDeleteYea,its true...wouldn't wanna mention names bu its true
ReplyDeleteTrust Nigerians with their life styles
ReplyDeleteI always get angry when people give wrong information. There are flats in London that cost 50 million pounds.. yes pound sterling.. and I'm talking about 3/4 bedroom flats... Folarunsho Alakija owns one in Knightsbridge. 4 million is a lot but it is kind of peanuts compared to some other houses. My dad bought a flat in 2007 for 2.5 million and today it is worth almost 12 million and it is not on egerton crescent. Theres a road in north london called bishop avenue where you can see houses that look like white house worth 20 million
ReplyDeleteHow can Egerton crescent be Londons most expensive street. When some nigerians own luxury homes in Kensington palace gardens where a average house is around 19million pounds.
ReplyDeleteBishops Avenue is the most expensive street in london
ReplyDeleteHouse r even mor cheaper dere dan Abuja soooo u guz shud stop lie
ReplyDeleteDen u don't live in London, check ur location well or maybe "I visited London nd neva lived".lier
ReplyDeleteI own 70% of this houses owned by Nigerians there.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmm
ReplyDelete4m£ is nothing dude, my apartment in Dagenham East station is Worth more than that, even in canadan water 4 bedroom apartment is more that sum.
ReplyDeleteDiaris God in evrytin we are doing
ReplyDeleteYes Nigerians are wealthy but all this man has stated is beer parlour talk and lies not facts at all. Egerton Cr is nt the most expensive whn there's The Bishop's Avenue And Kensington palace gardens with home ten times as costly
ReplyDeleteThat's where they dump all our money but they shlD remember there is God oooo
ReplyDeleteUmmm.. it's we Nigerians that shut down most of the clubs here in the Uk so i kinna buy into this. Even offering for church.. na we dey put pass.
ReplyDeleteThe foolish man acquire wealth and know not who is gonna spend it.
ReplyDeleteWell that's true....Solomon....
ReplyDeleteJune 2, 2014 at 9:31 PM you just typed what I wanted to type hence I'll skip any further comments. Indeed Bish Ave is the most exp street a house there start at £40M
ReplyDeleteLet them continue stealing our money,enjoying the peoples money as if they worked hard for it,God dey oooo.very soon I knw n believe this country will split n there will be nothing like nigeria again. We r too big n too corrupt to be together.I pity hausa people na dem go suffer,Rep of biafra we got the money n the resources..oil everywhere... Abeg make we split make the oil do us biafrans..
ReplyDeleteYes! we got 2 expensive houses in that area and not a big deal....it is hard working money. Linda when next you are coming to London, let me know.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible, if you put in account the trillions that go missing everyday from the national account! Why do you think these men want to die there? You think it is because of the food there?
ReplyDeleteits happens
ReplyDeleteit maybe
9ja love wide & large lifestyle

ReplyDeleteReli vanity upon vanity all na six feet
ReplyDeleteLet them own all the homes it just shows how backward and stupid they all have porous poverty mentality mindsets. Rubbish...
ReplyDeleteI wld have believed dis if it was said by another person. Bt since it came out from d mouth of dis so called charles dukwe I doubt it to a large extent.I wish u all know about dis man charles dukwe,he is just a ponzi scam specialist who have stolen money from a lot of poor nigerians....and dis cld b another means to advertise his name over d news...linda dis man stole a lot of money from d youths promising dem heaven and earth.investigate in2 New Nation and find out dat its a scam house propagating itself in nigeria and no body is doing anything .#straightface#
ReplyDeleteDis man have succeeded in decieving nigerians since d inception of dat his so called NEW NATION and he is still doing so, if not tell me why nigerians on social media wld just believe what dey hear without researching into it b4 comenting....I whish u all knew dis man called charles Dukwe .he is a 419er big time , so he can say anything to win d heart of people...I was a victim of his scam network...I can authentically tell u dat dis man is lieing...hell is waiting for u charles dukwe if u don't give ur life to christ...what shall it profit u if u gain d whole world bt loose ur soul..#natin#
ReplyDeleteLinda are you sure he said the most expensive street or one of the most expensive.get the words right.
ReplyDeleteMoney the sense
ReplyDeleteIn fact I own an apartment there in edgerton
ReplyDeleteLinda wey dey talk.... like say u no go stil join ... me too get plans to buy house there na... ok u wan make i build house here make boko blow am? abi make fashola say na ontop his papa land.. oshi
ReplyDeleteYup! It's very true I know like four prominent Nigerians that do have houses there but I won't mention names
ReplyDeleteWhy are sm pple surprised at Charlse's assertion its very true,d $6 biillion meant for improvingr Power in ds country which OBASANJO Stole & syphoned & many odas of his loot without any quams,, won't dt alone be enof to buy d whole of Edgerton Cresent & Bishops Avenue join. OBJ is just one out of thousands-o so Leave matter abeg
ReplyDelete70% is a stretch. So not true.
ReplyDeleteThis is from Guardian (UK) in January 2014 and please Bishop's Avenue isn't the most expensive street in London - "A Guardian investigation has revealed there are an estimated £350m worth of vacant properties on the most prestigious stretch of The Bishops Avenue in north London, which last year was ranked as the second most expensive street in Britain."
Someone mentioned Dagenham? Please don't insult better places with your comparison.
Nigerians aren't richer than the Russian Oligarchs, the Jews and even people like Sir Branson, Ashley and the Duke of Westminster.
I know Charles. His office in Port Harcourt was at rumuola road. He is a confused fool. Now he's sayin international stars can't afford 3 million pounds house?
ReplyDeleteNaija no dey carry last now....LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's not alot, houses in ikoyi cost more than that
ReplyDeleteeven nixon town is about 1m pounds
Where do they leave Bishop Avenue then?
ReplyDeleteWho ever come out with this false statement should go and do their research well.. it is a lie.. not the most expensive in the world.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle has a massive house on that street and Edgerton has a lot of Nigerians in fact its made up f Nigerians and Arabs, any time I go visiting that's all I see.Although the street is highly secured and everybody minds their business strictly and you don't even hear a pin drop at all. Anyways I dont like the UK!
ReplyDeleteYeh Linda is right. Egerton Crescent of kensington and Chelsea borough in London has the most expensive properties in d world go ask d Queen of England !!!
ReplyDelete3-4million means the houses are cheap. That will fetch a bedsit in 1 Hyde Park Corner.
ReplyDeleteNOT TRUE.
ReplyDeleteNOT THE MOST EXPENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD IN LODNON AND CERTAINLY NOT IN THE UK OR IN THE WORLD. I DO AGREE, FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND POEPLE I KNOW THAT NIGERIANS OWN ALOT OF EXPENSIVE HOMES IN LONDON.
Nigerians lives in Dagenham, the cheapest in london lol
