No northerner!

There was one boy from North about 2 years ago.

NewNigeriaMind:



stop with your tribal rants.

I guess I should go to bed instead.
Lemme rest from this tribalist hypocrite.

Mention his name...

Akolawole:
Its a Pity

Every single thing we have to be tribalistic.

The guy was elected as a Councillor, a position you dont get paid for but allowances.

He is NOT an MP which is a much more bigger position.

There are so many Nigerians who are Councillors in UK even there was once a very brilliant Hausa boy who performed brilliantly. Also this http://africanleadership.co.uk/nigerian-girl-aisha-eniola-emerges-youngest-councillor-in-london-uk/

Ha!

Greater London should have over 1,200 councillors. Anyone can become a councillor (even as an independent candidate) as long as you can dedicate your free time to serving your ward without pay. They do give allowances though.

Notwithstanding, it does help in getting council flats from the council and to speed up application.

NewNigeriaMind:



So google is what tells you UK lords are powerless

Care to educate us

Yes before they use to have power but the house of parliament can over rule any law coming from house of law.Lord are appointee by monarch not by the people they cannot approve any law under british constitution since the establishment of supreme court the house of Lord they are unable to prevent bills passing into law by the house of common..

lol Victor eni is not in your list

customized13:
tell us how an former appointed member of the house of lords is more prestigious than a medal for "freedom of the city of London"

We know all

Good question.

An insulting comparison for that matter.
In addition, Adebowale was honored with a lesser CBE - Commander Of the British Empire, and the man they're 'measuring dick' with, Chief Anyaoku, was honored with the aristocratic Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order

I repeat, must these people argue just about everything?

Victor Eni is newly elected... This list is the current standing. Just like Jonathan is still the president of Nigeria and Buhari is newly elected.

kettykings:


lol Victor eni is not in your list

And how many of them(foreigners) can we give such opportunity over here in Nigeria..well, even a non indigene can't be an SUG president #we still have a long way to go...# ethnicity dn paralyse us..

I was gonna go to bed but I need to reply your post.

While I am sleepy I hope this quote helps, for those ignorant folks on nairaland, the UK parliament is split into two:

Upper house-house of lords

Lower House- house of commons.

Now this is the power of house of lords over house of commons

The House of Lords scrutinises bills that have been approved by the House of Commons.[10] It regularly reviews and amends Bills from the Commons.[11] While it is unable to prevent Bills passing into law, except in certain limited circumstances,[12] it can delay Bills and force the Commons to reconsider their decisions.[13] In this capacity, the Lords acts as a check on the House of Commons that is independent from the electoral process.[14][15][16] Bills can be introduced into either the House of Lords or the House of Commons. Members of the Lords may also take on roles as government ministers. The House of Lords has its own support services, separate from the Commons, including the House of Lords Library.

The Queen's Speech is delivered in the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. In addition to its role as the upper house, until the establishment of the Supreme Court in 2009, the House of Lords, through the Law Lords, acted as the final court of appeal in the British judicial system.[17] The House also has a Church of England role, in that Church Measures must be tabled within the House by the Lords Spiritual.


Note: while the house of lord cannot prevent the house of commons from passing a bill into law, it exercises significant influence to the level it can force the house of common to make significant amendments.

However, the question is which house is higher ranking, the house of lords ranks higher and the UK government is a parliamentary system.

In all, it was fun chatting with you, at least it good to exercise the mind a little

Good night

shallom

In other news, I am still in Kaduna, sabo and haven't met the beautiful nairalanders from here

Since you're celebrating Nigerian exploits, I think the new Mayor of Lambeth is Nigerian.

You can celebrate him too.

hairyanus:
Proudly Nigerian ..If you are not happy for him. You are either an enemy of progress or your heart is filled with hate. Be happy for another mans success. So shall yours come. Whatever you sow is what you reap.

Jews of Nigerian extraction doing their nation proud.

NewNigeriaMind:


I tire for these morons.

Imagine the idiot comparing Emeka given a medal to a member of the house of lords and a Life peer

Honestly you reason like an illiterate. You still argue about Emeka Anyaoku. Thats why some igbos call you guys egg head. Mind you that even one igbo MP is greater than all these councillors. It is obvious that God made igbo to be greater than other tribes except in Nigerian politics and it because of their republican and individualism nature.

MY na your papa village title,

There have been Britons of Yoruba origin elected as MPs we don't make noise.

You are pretty daft, do you know how many, MPs from other minority UK citizens elected. Why are those other people not making noise


One person of Edo origin was also elected, do you see edo people acting like morons here

By the next election in the UK, tell them not to leave the house if they don't get re-elected since its your village traditional title.

I just laugh at some idiots here.

FreeGlobe:

They are too dumb taking over all available MP seats while yorubas are all enrolling into terorism

Are councillors MP seats?

are you for real? Havnt you heard of dual citizenshp before? Little wonder sone of you people treat others like outcasts just becos they are not born nor bred in your state

You don't know what you're saying. Once you get into any government anywhere in this world, you lose your right to "dual citizenship", your loyalty is required only to the country to who's government you're now a part of.

What's mango head? Boko Haram?

Una no wan make som people sleep at all this week? Which kind bad news una dey release anyhow for some people? Lolz

Yorubas will not comment and show some love to Victor because the guy was not reported to have courriered hard drugs. I feel for this country and gradually losing hope in it. If it was a bad news, then you'll see the few Yoruba bigots on Nairaland trolling everyone Igbo comment.

The man has done well for himself and Nigeria. Can't u sincerely see how your Igbo brothers and sisters have been abusing Yorubas on this thread without provocation from the very first page cos of Mr Eni's victory. All to prove what point? I don't get it. Really unfortunate we have so many educated illiterates on this site.

babestella:


Please stop spreading falsehood. Where else have you ever lived aside from Lagos and your state or in SW? How many other tribes migrate to Igbo land to live there and make their family? If you have the money, come to Umuahia I will sell you lands and you get all your legal documents within a month, no omonile wahala, you build your house and rent it out. You people should try first rather than listening to propaganda and spreading falsehood.

Is it not in the same Umuahia that the governor couldn't stand fellow Igbo non-Abians in the civil service and had to dismiss them, and that same man was rewarded with a Senate seat after 2 terms in office and even successfully installed his stooge as his successor. Is it in such places they'll allow Yorubas contest elective positions, or some other Igbos are seen as outcasts (osus)? Thank God for the internet. We're all aware of these things.

Do you know who Odin is?
