Even Stephen Lawrence mother came out to say a lot has changed.
Let me ask you. Where you arround like 30 years ago?or ever had a chat with folks that grew up in places like tottenham or Harkney?

I definitely wasn`t around 30 years ago, but around enough to know that the more the impression of change the more things seem to remain the same. Stephen Lawrence mum would say that because she is now a Dame. Do you think the family of Mark Duggan would accept that things have changed in Tottenhan? Where do you think Stephen Lawrence is buried today and why? So they stabbed him to death and rubbished his burial place so his dad has to take his body to Jamaica. We don`t need to argue about London because certain things are beyond argument. The London of 1960s that our parents lived in is just slightly different from that of today.

No it is not typo. I receive £2700 into my Bank every Friday as an accountant. There are opportunities if you have the right skill to sell. You can realise your dream outside Nigeria if you partner with God

I knew they were going to spoil show for Africans those Eastern Europeans, before i left in 2013 i heard over the news they were going to include Romania as one of the EU countries to gain entry into the UK. They are regarded as white niggas they can do any kind of odd jobs most Africans do and u know the British will prefer them to Africans.

yes .. there are usually a sizeable amount of Yorubas in London .. probably because most Yorubas are academic people so they come in as students and from there they start working over there


Igbos do their own in USA and Canada.

Again I will say M Duggan. is not an innocent man.He was one of them black guys giving black people bad names..His death was a mistake on the part of the Police mind U I live in Haringey so I know what I am on about.ever heard of Turnpike lane?go to that park and see how our brothers are embarrassing us.

Soon Donald Trump will turn the heat on the Ame guys. Lets all come home and burn down all bad leaders and repair our country. Everything you are enjoying there we can make it happen here its only the bad leaders and the religious fundamentalist that are killing us. Let us resolve to make our country a better place that will be ok for us if we can not do this then there is no basis for to be together as a country.

Our country doesnt have all those bone breaking cold, we dont have sunami, we dont have earthquake, we dont have sit tight leaders, we dont have deadly diseases here our only problem is dare devil self centered and non visionary leaders.

If they send everybody home they will be forced to do the type of protest they do that will help to kick out very bad and wicked leaders.

Let them send all illegal immigrants back to their country. We need them here.

Wow. America remain the best country in the world. If this story is true. I will never visit uk. I never like that country for any reason. Thank God i came to america. America has their own problem but no policeman can ask me for my pappers even when i was arrested. Nonsense.


author=RichYoungNigger post=45158776]That's why USA is the only country in the world.

Here in America, no one cares if you're an illegal immigrant, you will still get a job (some type of job), you kids will still go to school for free.

You can be living illegally in the USA for 100 years, no one cares, the police will not ask you to show your papers, but don't commit any crime because that's what will get you deported.

God bless America
