we are typical british nigerians, and we will set a nairaland record by having the first get-together. The idea behind this is not to have an elaborate party but a lil get-together, start small and then who knows.

trust me man, its gonna happen, even if its just 3 people that turn up,if you plan to be there, send me your username and real name. i already have names on my list.

I am game and will try and make it.

and please if you change the venue I don't mind but nowhere in SouthEast please. Too ghetto.

If anywhere else lets make it the Westend.

Can you imagine taking our yankee nairaland visitors to Peckham? LOL!

Thats why I suggested Bays Water@vieira. Can u imagine meeting @ peckham

Guys dont go off topic signify ur interests please if u are in the uk or london

Peckham is the Ghetto right? But i hear a lot of Nigerians live there, it cannot be that bad.

Peckham is bad one serious getho the only good thing is that its very cheap to watch movies ova there,

Good idea, though i stay in Luton but i cannot make it because i hate trains and long journey by coach. Good luck to all those that Will be present at the event. if it happens.

Ahhh, the infamous Peckham. We shall retaliate with visits to Compton.

what is so wrong with peckham, i have friends who live there in £500,000 houses it is and up and coming area i love it.

Peckham aint't never been ghetto.You have to go there to see what its like.Besides theres nothing wrong with peckham,If your complaining about peckham what are the people that actually live ment to do?

Living in a $950,000 home in the ghetto is not "Up and coming". It is borderline Insanity. Maybe they like the view.

Leicester sq or bays water is not bad at all, although i live very far away in Kent

People, this thread is not about peckham or how ghetto it is. Kilode

desiree:

Leicester sq or bays water is not bad at all

lets stop vain suggestions please, give us the name of a suitable venue at Bayswater or westend if you know one. i am very familiar with west end and yet i could not figure out a nice place. theyre mostly celebrity clubs or gay clubs out there in the west(No offence to Gay folks) except we prefer the Park areas.

i am not imposing my proposed venue on the house. but please be aware that if we do not focus on one thing for now, it may mare the whole idea. we are beggining to sound like typical Nigerians as someone metioned earlier.
i am still waiting fo names to add to my list, indicate your interest now.

Just saying, It is only fair to keep it central. Locations

I am game.

If people want to venture out west, I will suggest Whiteleys in Bayswater, it has cinema complex, cafes, restaurants, all you can eat buffets.

Just a suggestion

And the bowling alley in Finsbury is just cool as well

I cant stop laughing.

If you call Peckham Ghetoo, what would you call Brixton?

The problem with Peckham and co is over-concentration of Nigerians, if anything.

What will you call Tilbury,Chafford Hundred,Grays,Thamesmead and Plumstead?

@WALE
HEY, EXCUSE ME, WHY FRIGGING FINBURY PARK? sorry i dont do Terrorists hotbeds

@Eurphoria

That Terrorist is no more there.

That Bowling is a very nice place but its too western.

Akolawole you sure? please is the area safe? really? what do you mean by too western?
I would go if it is still on, it's a good idea by Wale.

@Euphoria

It is safe.

Dont forget Terrorist hardly blow up their own area. Understand?

The place is Drink/game place but i be food food and food man

Akolawole

Gotcha!thanks and about the food food man,you are a typical Naija man, the place is too western my eye! glad you told the truth,your own is to go and chop!

@Ephoria

Of course!

All those Spicy Snail and other starters

Speaking of Bayswater, there is this ice skating rink. ( Can't remember the name) People can have drinks, grab a bite and skate. Am not sure though if people like skating

There is also a cool loung, not too far from Bayswater

U all have fun since am in houston but ill let ya know when am in london with my baby girlllllllllllllllllll and hubby.

My fellow Nigerians.,
Although I am a rare poster in here, allow me to make a suggestion.
The Regent's Park in north west/central London might be a good venue.
There is a sizable lake where you can hire row boats for about six pounds per person(adults), children cost a bit less.
It also houses the London zoo, the Regent's canal with the Chinese restaurant shaped like a boat on the canal.
There are boat trips available on the canal all the way to Little Venice.
The park has a few cafes, open air theatre/concerts, playing areas for football, frisbees etc.
It would be a great day for a picnic, since it is a large park one entance is near to Baker Street Tube Station(nr Madam Tussaud's wax works), which is about a 5 minute bus ride to Oxford Streert/Marble Arch. Another end is near Camden Town(think about the Camden markets etc). This I believe, would be a good place to show folks coming from abroad cos of the touristy feel.

So folks, whatdyathink ?

I would love to come, but i'm going to Nigeria 2 days before the actual date. I think africanman idea sounds good.
