missjekyll: Sorry. You are being extremely hypocritical, and it’s not nice. Just a few years ago, you saw a piece of land. In Nigeria . You wanted to buy for your mother. You had the money. The sellers wanted to sell. Your mother was happy to buy. You instructed your mother to hold fire and not buy. But wait for that same land to become a ‘distress sale’ so that the sellers will be forced to drop the price. What does ‘distress sale’ mean? You wanted the sellers’ children to be sent home from school for school fees, then the ‘distressed’ sellers will sell the land to you for peanuts. You wanted the sellers to be in an accident, no money for hospital bills. Become distressed. Then sell the land to you for cheap, in their desperation. That, my friend is not bang for buck. That, is Shylock and not nice, I dare say it’s wicked. You even openly expressed happiness that Nigéria is in recession, because (by implication), desperate poor people will be forced to sell things on the cheap, so that you can lap it all up. Yet, the same you will be pontificating and creating an image of uprightness. I’m sorry. It’s not right. You can’t be a Shylock in Nigeria, and be a Lover of the poor in the UK. Can you? 21 Likes 1 Share

wonlasewonimi:Oh wow. Clap clap clap. I was in and out in 5 mins. No ballot box snatching. No police brutality. No military deployment . Voting in the UK is a breeze but the real mvps are people in Nigeria who troop out ,at great personal cost, to vote and defend their vote. I was soo proud of the Nigerian youths in the last election. Polls are still open. 1 more hour to go 3 Likes |

wallg123: As usual you completely missed the point, there is a reason why i singled out Reform(Nigel Farage) and Trump(Republican) in my initial post. If you can not connect the dots then don't bother and to your last point about race and religion... what planet are you living on? Race and religion should not be included in political debate? Whatever you have been smoking i definitely need some of it. 3 Likes |

justwise: 1 reason was because of vat on private school fees. I ve only seen 1 immigrant voting for reform. I m sure they have a very good reason for supporting leaving the ECHR and privatising the NHS. Maybe they have bags of money.( that didn't save rishi who was immediately called the p word by these fine upstanding citizens of reform uk) |

missjekyll: Reform's biggest donor is a British Asian tech entrepreneur from immigrant parents. He gave a big speech at their rally last week. |

This is a landmark moment. A massive landslide on par with Tony Blair Tories worst ever rout- how is it even possible to lose over 200 seats in 1 election! Reform from 0 to 13 seats. SNP reduced to only 10! Who would have thought this 5 years ago...what a massive turn of events!! |

missjekyll: You're completely right, but the issue is that Australia does not have the same reputation for high levels of fraud and "non compliance" as Nigeria does. Therefore their applications (in fact they don't even need to make an application - they are allowed to just hop on a plane to visit the UK) are treated differently. Actions matter. |

Zahra29: I was watching the far right podcast LotusEaters. It had around 10,000 live viewers at the time I saw it. They didn't like the guy. Said he was trying too hard to be Vivek and he shouldn't be trying to represent "natives". They also don't like Kemi Badenoch any more because she insulted the "indigenous population". These people are not your friends. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 11:46pm On Jul 04 |
IridescentAge: Me specifically, or black people as a whole? I only heard about Zia because of the buzz on twitter and there was a lot of support for him from Reform supporters from what I saw. Perhaps they used him, an Asian Muslim, to deflect from the racism row, however he still donated hundreds of thousands to their party. I think Kemi cares more about becoming Tory leader and less about what Reform think about her (for now at least). |
