I love my colleagues but there are three who really irk my nerves at times and although I try to be tolerant it is all I can do to tell them to shut the F up!

These three individuals are cat lovers and they love going on about the exploits of their cats. You wouldn't believe the amount of things their cats get up to. This ones cat is on cructches because it jumped out of the window, the other ones cat is diabetic etc, na waO! lol

How was it?

thweraja10:

You be newbie yet you want start to dey flex

What do you mean? 

Clarification.

Going to New York for a 1 week holiday and want to hang out where the Nigerians are.

The Royal Family are highly beneficial to the UK tourism industry. Millions from all over the world come to see castles, palaces, parks and other royal historical places which have been preserved for 1000 of years in their original state.

Cap28, You make some sound points and I really don't have a view on them however you did mention something about the Royal's not having qualifications which is incorrect. To my knowledge all of them have been educated to degree level at some the of the best educatoinal establishments in the country. I think Prince Harry is even a trained pilot as is Prince Andrew.

Please tell me the places to check out

Where do Nigerians socialise, hang out?
Where can I meet other Nigerians.
Restaurants
Churches etc


I will be over there in the New Year Staying in Times Square

cou-gar:

england is a second world country.

cou-gar:

heathrow is paralysed, gatwick is paralysed, the underground is paralysed, st pancras and paddington are paralysed. london has effectively closed down - this country is useless when it comes to dealing with adverse weather. one would have thought a country as organised as this would put proper arrangement in place to curb such but pssssf! germany is colder and they are coping effectively with their winter.

snowdrops:

the UK govt. need to pull itself together and stop letting its citizens down in snowy/icy weather. they tend to become too easily overwhelmed whenever there is an Arctic freeze.
the motorways are simply impassable today.
shocking

It is just South-East England and not the whole of the UK as they deal very well with the snow in Scotland and the rest of North Eastern Region and it snows far worst over there.

Londoners and the rest in the South East are just too spoilt for works and this type of snow fall which is a new phenomenon in this part of the country is giving many i.e. Local government an excuse to take the piss.

WOW! No one deserves to die in that way, least of all an innocent student minding his own business on his way home from college.

It would appear that this level of crime is so bad in Chicago that the locals are now so desensitized to the sound of gunshots that they now just block it out and carry on. What a life? Wasn’t it in the same Chicago that most of Jennifer Hudson's family were slaughtered?

Those crackheads obviously don’t care who they hurt or kill to get the next fix and unfortunately this brilliant young Nigerian star will be just another statistic in that violently crime ridden area. The only thing I can do is pray that those responsible find no peace in their lives.

My heart hurts. I pray that the good Lord brings some comfort to Bawomolo’s family and friends, especially those here on Nairaland.  

justwise:

uktrader has problem with African immigrants coming to the Uk Nigerians in particular, read his posts very well, he got nothing good to say about Nigerians.

You are making his post look sensible, buzugeee reply is in line with uktrader's hatred for Nigerians and some African immigrants.
If you are waiting for a time when every Nigerian or other African immigrants will all move back to their respective countries then you have to wait intill u die and come back to this world again.

You can tell from the way UKtrader writes and expresses himself  that he is not a born and bred Briton. He is probably a fresh immigrant, a Nigerian at that, who is just being contentious to start shyt!!

These talent shows are always funny at the audition stage but when they separate the bad singers from the good then the competition gets really interesting. Us guys in the U K are following the x factor which is heading towards the end. I wish there was a way i could follow nigerian idol would love to watch the competiton.

Nigerian Idol is currently being shown on HITV (UK SKY)- can't remember the channel number but google. I watched it yesterday from 6pm. I think it is currrent.

Nigeria has definetly come a long way in short space of time. I remember going to Nigeria for my Dad's funeral in 2000 and being frustrated at not been able to use my UK phone to call and get things done as I would in England but having to travel instead and wait around. It was so frustrating and time consuming. When I went back there in 2003 the GSM era was in full swing and the change was amazing.

Ranoscky:

Boring.

Ranoscky:

Stil boring.

Ranoscky:

Gettin more boring.

Ranoscky:

And now, the topic is sick.

Ranoscky:

Getin sicker

You have said it is boring and we heard you the first time, gosh! Why do you need to repeat it every so often?

You obviously have a lot of time on your hands.

Gamine:

LOL!

Reminds me of what Fela Kuti said,
He died because when he was born the first time, he was given a name ''Hildegart'
he was like WTF!! and died. He came back and was given FELA.

He also changed his surname 'cause it made no sense.
I wander why people fall over themselves to acquire these names that have no meaning.

Some people are actually given these names at birth and all names mean something.

TinTin18:

W
Would you have been able to pronounce Xi or Qui? That aside, have you ever bothered to ask them if thats the name on their birth certificates? Trust me, the answer will be NO! There were some in my class at uni that had english names but whenever an attendance list was passed, Anne will write her name down as Xi Quang. why

As a matter of fact those are the names on their birth certificates. I know because I work in HR and have access to view personal information such as their birth certificates etc. They may be Chinese or Asian but they were born and bred in Liverpool and Leicester respectfully. I hope you are not so naive as to think that all Chinese people have Chinese names and the same for Asian people, please tell me you don't believe this.

Are you English?

I have come across a Chinese lady called Anne
An Asian guy called John just to name a few.

I feel people should be able to name their kids what they want. There are plenty of beautiful names out there whether they be African, European or Asian.
My first name is Jewish, straight from the Bible and I love it as it defines me and I wouldn't change it for the world.
