OP..

In most of the pix...it like you were behind the steering wheel while taking the pix.? If that is the case, that is dangerous but you are lucky the roads are not looking a bit busy.

Claim wherever you want to claim - I don't give two fvcks about that especially when it's a project ridden slum like Brooklyn!! How many cops got shot dead tonight?? grin



Why do you care about who I speak to and who I don't speak to?? I hardly ring some of my cousins out here in the UK, what makes you think I call cousins I've never seen in Nigeria especially folks who can't really understand my accent?? What's there to talk about, anyway?? If my parents need something for their people, I help them with things I can for those who are my age mates, or use things that're the same size as mine - that's where it ends!!



I thought you were Nigerian American, now the story has changed to AA... Yet, you know you're from Anambra and you're fixated on the state, no?? Only on nl!!! You, Mrs. Chima, FlowerPower and Blyss are the biggest frauds on this forum - non of you is AA!! Even Royal don't claim AA like you lot do!! grin



Not being familiar with FT is like saying you're not familiar with BBC!! It shows your knowledge is limited - please, stick to creating threads about Nsigidi writing and Igbo culture!! grin



I said: "AT THE PEAK OF WINTER!" What's the peak of winter without snowfalls?? You're not a fast learner!!! The OP probably took the pictures during the hottest period of the year - so what do you expect?? undecided



Still not giving props, no?? SMFDH! undecided



Atlanta isn't Sokoto - there are cities in the UK where people hardly come out of their houses... Every time I go to places like Kent and Essex, I hardly see anyone on the streets!! You need to stop comparing apples to oranges!



Well, in case you don't know - United Kingdom isn't just England - it's 4 countries in one, and London is just a place in England... The other countries have their own major cities as well... Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham, Newcastle etc. are also big cities in England - and they're far better than Manhattan-less New York!!

As for New York, Brooklyn is a shytehole, Bronx is the forgotten city(the yankees are the only thing keeping it alive), Queens is ridden with massive project houses and thugs, and Staten Island is a 3rd world country!! grin Without Manhattan - New York is definitely another Detroit!!



Nah, the real SOHO in London is where people care about not the bootleg one in NYC!!



Stay paying your taxes - the Queen runs the District of Columbia!!

I paid an Okada guy #2000 to take me round the entire town. It was a seven hour adventure. Even the dude said he enjoyed it as he had the opportunity to visit places he hadnt visited in a long time like the Airport.

My friend quiet Ibo land nor be wasteland too?If better dey their land why dem go travel over 20 hours dey fine places like Maidugiri and the sokoto itself?I stayed in the East for one year and i traversed many villages apart from few capital cities the Eastern states are nothing to write home about especially the rural areas which are mostly Hamlets locked inbetween bushes.Mind you am also an Ibo man so no tribal sentiment here cos Oluwa is involved


You are not an Igbo man, from your spelling of Igbo shows that you are not an original Igbo, i am not doubting your comment on development of Igbo land, but i am doubting your Igbo citizenship and intelligence, so a person from a developed land is not supposed to travel out of his/her developed town? You are the new year ZOMBIE by your statement. Your new title of the year ZOMBIE 2013. Claim it.

Re: Pictures Of The Seat Of The Caliphate(sokoto) by Akanbiedu(m): 11:34am On Jan 03, 2013
Been in this city three times, twice on work and once for a nikkah ceremony. I must say I enjoyed my stay. The city is very calm and peaceful.

Some colleagues and I couldn't finish N1000 "suya" sometime around 2004. One thing that fascinates me is the roadside trees. A friend told me those were planted during colonial times.

I've got pics of FGC. But not of mammy market. I couldnt take pics of alcohol joint as i was afraid some one who know's me might see me and report to my Mum. That would automatically land me in Hot soup as my Mum doesnt tolerate alcoholism and besides i dont even like alcohol

If you are indeed going to the nort, you should definitely go to Bauchi and visit Yankari Games Reserve, you'll love that place

We need to kill most of the people incharge of Works and Sanitation in many states.. This pictures would have looked alot nicer if only they were swept clean.. Thats what makes Calabar different from other states, their roads are swept twice daily.

I think they should be burnt along with the refuse if possible.
Wonder why people dont realise that sanitation is not child's play.

Claim wherever you want to claim - I don't give two fvcks about that especially when it's a project ridden slum like Brooklyn!! How many cops got shot dead tonight??
Not that many? Crime has gone down in NYC dramatically since the 90's, its one of the safest cities of its size to live in.



Why do you care about who I speak to and who I don't speak to?? I hardly ring some of my cousins out here in the UK, what makes you think I call cousins I've never seen in Nigeria especially folks who can't really understand my accent?? What's there to talk about, anyway?? If my parents need something for their people, I help them with things I can for those who are my age mates, or use things that're the same size as mine - that's where it ends!!
I didn't say I cared who you spoke to, but you said none of your immediate family is in Nigeria, which is highly unlikely.

I thought you were Nigerian American, now the story has changed to AA... Yet, you know you're from Anambra and you're fixated on the state, no?? Only on nl!!! You, Mrs. Chima, FlowerPower and Blyss are the biggest frauds on this forum - non of you is AA!! Even Royal don't claim AA like you lot do!!

Never for one day have I ever said I was Nigerian American. You can search through all my posts on this site and you will never see me ever say such a thing.

Blyss is AA, because I'm familiar with him from another site where he also had multiple ids grin

I also post in the Enugu thread, am I fixated on Enugu too and from Enugu?



Not being familiar with FT is like saying you're not familiar with BBC!! It shows your knowledge is limited - please, stick to creating threads about Nsigidi writing and Igbo culture!!


Not really, the BBC talks about a lot of different things besides business. FT primary focus is business. If I'm not big on business, FT is not on my list of magazines to read. I am familiar with Forbes and Economist because they often have topics on Africa, which interests me, it also helps that in my area at least for Forbes is definitely out on display in the stores. FT is not the most important magazine in the world and some of the same information they write about can be found everywhere on the internet. Not knowing the NYT is a different case altogether cool Even if you have never read it you must know it cheesy

How limited your thinking must be to think because I don't read one brand of financial magazine my knowledge is limited. You act as though Bloomberg, CNBC, and God knows whatelse is not available. Maybe I should call your blackness into question because you don't read the latest issues of Black Enterprise?






I said: "AT THE PEAK OF WINTER!" What's the peak of winter without snowfalls?? You're not a fast learner!!! The OP probably took the pictures during the hottest period of the year - so what do you expect??


Its the peak of winter here in my area and there is no snow. NYC is in the middle of winter and there is no snow on the ground yet. January is smack dab in the middle of "snow season" and its been snow-free. So what exactly is your point? Some of the pics look like they are in the late afternoon a time that people in warm to hot climates come out unless they live in Dubai. So what is the excuse now?



Still not giving props, no?? SMFDH!


Nope.

Atlanta isn't Sokoto - there are cities in the UK where people hardly come out of their houses... Every time I go to places like Kent and Essex, I hardly see anyone on the streets!! You need to stop comparing apples to oranges!

You mean everywhere that is not London cheesy Lord knows there is nothing to do outside of London, why bother to come out grin


Well, in case you don't know - United Kingdom isn't just England - it's 4 countries in one, and London is just a place in England... The other countries have their own major cities as well... Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham, Newcastle etc. are also big cities in England - and they're far better than Manhattan-less New York!!

Lol nobody is checking for those cities, London is the sole major city of the UK. Period. Everything in the UK is in London. Sure is that why no one ever really mentions them when we talk about the UK?

As for New York, Brooklyn is a shytehole, Bronx is the forgotten city(the yankees are the only thing keeping it alive), Queens is ridden with massive project houses and thugs, and Staten Island is a 3rd world country!! Without Manhattan - New York is definitely another Detroit!!

How is Brookly a shytehole some of the most historic events and people of NY are in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is the home to many of the Manhattan workers. Its also the home of a new Basketball team and stadium grin NYC is the city and Bronx is a borough, and no its not forgotten there are well to do areas in the Bronx. Without Manhattan, much of the same services would probably be in Brooklyn, I don't know why you think Manhattan is some special place. Before Manhattan, NYC was a major port hub (still is) and had many other industries (fishing, mills, manufacturing), Manhattan is icing on the cake. If Manhattan ceased to exist today Brooklyn would probably pick up the slack due to its proximity and life will go on.



Nah, the real SOHO in London is where people care about not the bootleg one in NYC!!

No one talks about the UK SOHO in America at least, if you mention SOHO here it means NYC, period. SoHo NYC is an Art district that used to be a manufacturing district,Soho London was known to be a intimacy shop and entertainment district and is now a shopping district. They have similar names because...I don't know..British people had colonies over here tongue Strange to think they wouldn't carry somethings across the Atlantic.


Stay paying your taxes - the Queen runs the District of Columbia!!
Sure she does, I'm sure the Queen wields a lot of power as a ceremonial monarch. Which is the reason why like Canada we have her picture on our money instead Of Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson grin
