It's no longer new that the Livingstone era as Mayor of London has ended, but our New mayor is allegedly racist without apologies
It's not strange, coming from sumone that says he wants the old 'britainised London

According to this article in Blink, Boris Johnson is in fact a racist, Xenophobic, tory toff.
He said Nelson Mandela's South Africa was a "tyranny of black majority rule.”  
He also referred to black children as “piccaninnies” and said Africans have “watermelon smiles

I don't understand how a candidate and make a comment like this, it shows that the black ethnic minority don't even have a voice in the UK.

Boris Johnson: The problem [with Africa] is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge any more

The problem there are countless Nigerians that will suffer from his policies.
To think London has the largest black population in Britain??

Can you give us links to those quotes?

Thank God its Conservative NOT British National Party?

That's where I got the first the first quote from

his_grace:

No come back to your country o - they wait for another man country - dey talk say them be racist - if him no be racist wetin him go come be?

how about indeginous black londoners, where do you want them to go.

dominique:

how about indeginous black londoners, where do you want them to go.

My point exactly

He also seems to forget that it affect Nigeria directly or indirectly

Infact you don't want to know what will happen if all the Nigerians abroad come back home in a short time
You ever heard of population explosion?
Currently, more Nigerians go abroad than into Nigeria
You'll then know what China's facing
Remember that no one will leave London to come and live in Abakaliki
So Lagos bear it all and maybe Abuja

majority know boris johnsons politics as boderline racist and being controversial,go check out the magazine he publishes or contributes in(not sure which)
thats why i always argue with black people or worse nigerians on nairaland who think the whites here can do no wrong.
they dont see the handwriting on the wall,and instead of securing their future in nigeria,they are putting all their eggs in one basket and saying britain is their home.
labour has gone from the far left to the middle changing the name to new labour to confuse the ethnic minorities,also the bnp have changed over the yers from skinheads and boots to tailored suits and their language is more acceptable.
theres more common hatred for immigrants and foreigners now than ever,especially with the 9/11 and the east europeans, making majority disillutioned with labour or new labour, in my opinion i think tony blair messed everythn up and he has dumped a half dead party on gordon brown,and if they dont make some serious changes labour will lose in the big one because most people will rather vote bnp than labour,even the asian baroness said it las year or so that with the way things are the bnp might be right after all so dont be suprised by boris johnson being racist,an asian baroness did as well

If the council results are anything to go by, the Tories could well win the next general election. With all the complaints about Polish and eastern Europeans, i don't expect an immigration policy from them that would particularly favour Africans. Generally speaking though, I think the UK faces some challenging times ahead in terms of community and religious/race relations. The signs are already there.

What suprises me is the fact that the London elections shows that the Black and other ethnic minorites don't have a voice
I mean for sumone that supports the South African killings to be elected as Mayor, fairly, then Blacks an Asians are totally doomed.
I wonder how he plans to carry out the policies, methinks he'll start by increasing foreigners' taxes.

The worst part of it is that the man talks anyhow, especially on 'The Spectator'
He once said 'Blacks have lower IQ's than whites'

No come back to your country o - they wait for another man country - dey talk say them be racist - if him no be racist wetin him go come be?

exactly.

well no place like home. If the english did not take care of their london, people wont have gone there.

go back home and get things done instead of allowing weak minded to ruin things.

Hmmn, Nigerians cannot be logical and foward-thinking to save the Pope's life
What will over five million people returning to Lagos do for us? Higher population density and more trouble.

i agree with you ,also the problem black people have in london and even ethnic minorities is that of unity of purpose
nigerians within themselves are not united,jamaicans hate africans and even racially abuse them,pakistanis have a life long hatered for indians,both indians and pakistanis hate africans moreover when a punjabi  mp makes a public statement that the bnp might have been right after all,then, whats happening is no news, more grease to the guy's elbow,at least his fellow whites support him irrespective of if they are scottish,northern ireland,welsh
im sure the fist mobe is to find a way of removing the mandela statue

@lubracasi
What of in Nigeria? Are we forgetting tribalism here?
Recently an Igbo guy told me he can marry a White, Chinese, South African or even Congolese lady but he can't just stand a Delta Igbo chick.
What do you want to say of that?
Don't you read the papers?

To be honest, I am still shocked as to how Boris managed to win the election. I think people were rebelling against the Labour party for doubling taxes for the poorest people - that is why Ken Livingston lost the election. The race issue is a small issue. I don't think Boris has the power to significantly affect any Black man who is legit.

What will over five million people returning to Lagos do for us? Higher population density and more trouble

, and imagine, the money, knowledge they will bring along? it will transform  Nigeria.

sure, they wont all move at same time but they are more needed in nigeria than in UK.

What of in Nigeria? Are we forgetting tribalism here?

exactly, fix our own problems instead of focus on other's people. thats why its getting worse at home.

To be honest, I am still shocked as to how Boris managed to win the election.

nothing shocking at all.

Brits are trying to correct their own percieved problems. what are we doing? complain about their solution.

yes there is tribalism in nigeria,but has that stopped nigeria and its achievements?also marrying from the same tribe barrier has being increasing broken down,moreover a nigerian will always have a better chance of making it in nigeria than in a country the highest he can ever be is a second class citizen,whats reading the papers got to do with anything?of course tribalism is in nigeria,so is racism here and everywhere else but that has not stopped people making something of themselves,apart from the power and infrastructures,leadership what else is there in the western world that isnt there in nigeria?

where's EloSela to say Nigerians are foolish for disagreeing with this man

Afi England naa, think anyone can say such garbage here and ion the next 24 hrs not be on a podium crying about how the devil made him do it or blame it on Pabst Blue Ribbon?

The New secret EU laws are focusing on foreigners mainly the darker once since the expansion of EU territories things has changed.
  If Obama fail to win American presidential election Blacks will get ready for a new Nazi Regime.
  It's high time to think how to bring our Dwarf giant of Africa to be on his feet.

i believe ken livingstone's loss to boris johnson in the london mayoral election was due to gordon brown's and darling's short comings. i believe tony blair would have handled this matter 'better' and mos def labour would've won. i also believe the loss is more against the labour party than ken livinstone. having said that, boris johnson would have won the election even if Jesus was running against him. pple are just sick and tired of labour and the attitude of those at the top.

to be honest, i thought boris johnson was a nice guy until i read ur responses.

If you are easily swayed by what people post here, don't you think that there may be the real issue

i wasnt just swayed by the personal opinion of pple. i also went through the article posted by eldee. it made me think again.

Generally Britain is a racist country but they try not to make it open because Labour is in power. Whenever their is election around the corner Immigration will be the point of discussion.

If DC Conservative wins the general election whenever its coming up believe me the MT era will be better and Briatin Economy will suffer as in then. They don't care if you are a born Brit as far as you have a diff colour.

Whatever labour is suffering now is as a result of TB's foreign and domestic policy. If he did not sent British troops to Iraq i believe you shouldn't have been pushed out from No 12 and even if he quits at his own will he will be in cordial relationship with GB and as such will be giving a helping hand on how the labour party is run. Their is Even a report quoting him(TB) that GB cannot be able to win DC which is obvious going by the look of things at the moment and the fact that GB is too slow in decision taking.

You can't actually say The UK is racist.
Even when you look at MLK's I have a dream speech, u'll notice that he never said there'll not still be differences
He said they'll learn to accept the differences
They'll sit down together as brothers.

There'll always be that feeling that he's black, he's white but it's forgotten and does not affect anything.
We've seen black people engraving their names in different fields.

The difference with Boris is that he was openly racist, as in intolerant.
He was an editor at 'The Spectator' when a racially insultive header like 'Blacks Have Lower IQ's' came out and he supported it.

Bout immigration, you have to accept that it's their biggest problem
Whats the ratio of Immigration:Emigration in UK?

My problem is the fact that, Boris might want to take a more radical way to tackle the problem.
That's a big issue. And no one will blame him, he rode to power on the backs of a bad government
The tougher the decisions he makes, the more praise he gets.

@landis and lucrabasi
I would have loved to start trashing out how overpopulation will affect Lagos but I'll just advice you to google any of the dense Asian cities.
Obviously u're the first person seeing any advantage in overpopulation.

Besides this matter has been trashed and trashed again on other threads
I'm not willing to add this one to the Nigerians in Nigeria Vs Nigerians in Diaspora threads

@Ibime
The UK is not like Nigeria where votes don't count
Here, even if the people are stupid, there decision still counts

Imagine when one of my lecturers was saying that the best way to get votes is to visit the universities
The vote of the uneducated 18 year old pub-resident values as much as that of the educated economist

Obviously, they all voted out of anger. . .and not the policies of both parties
Boris rode on the backs of the stressed-up average man on the street to win
Even Gordon Brown is too scared to hold an election now, he'll get beaten silly

@ eldee

do u know he appointed a black man as deputy mayor?

Nigerians and talk. brits voted for the alternative to the Labour party. Tony and Gordon put heads together to impoverish the people so Ken is just taking the brunt for belonging to the wrong party.

Even if Boris is 'racist', how will that affect legitimate professionals of ethnic origins in the UK?

You will find out when new laws start coming into effect that affect legal professionals and otherwise.

Most sane people in the UK know that the Tory party is largely racist, even white people acknowledge that. If they get into office and come with their laws, you'll know what the time is

@eldee
im not that narrow minded to just think in a vacuum of nigeria versus diasporeans,all i am saying is that its time for nigerians to educate themselves,and then go back to their county and make it better,we still have an option of going back instead of struggling with the londoners or british even after studies here, if the likes of my dad after their degree programme had sat down here our generation wouldnt have had any chance because nigerians in the uk would have quadrapuled,you r familiar with the ghana-must go scenario of the 80s, well the ghananians did go back to ghana to develop their countries and whats the result?they re no more shoemakers,gatemen,class teachers.
and over populationpls gimme a break,do you know the expance of land in nigeria barren and waiting for development?if you know anyone thats abreast of the property development in nigeria they ll tell u they cant even keep up with the demand for properties,in lagos for example the reason for over population is the transport situation,and so ppl dont want to move too far,a good start is the brt,land on the former bushy lagos ibadan expressway is going for well over half a million and people are still buying and they ll keep on going on and on so i dont agree with the over population.
@poster
i still believe that the reason why livingstone lost was partly brown not knowing where his priorities lie,and also the blacks with no unity of purpose,abstaining voters,protest voters,

tboy1:

@ eldee

do u know he appointed a black man as deputy mayor?

he can appoint 10 blackmen as deputy and that wouldnt make a world of diffrence,the people that voted and to a large extent the white community that they want foreigners out,lets not pretend or gloss over it as thats what they want

This is factual, if many whites were looking as if they were over populating Lagos many naijas hairs will be raising on their backs. It is already crazy ethnically, talkless of when other people start being involved then some kind war for don happen.

I wish Black people would stop complaining and start walking the walk instead of talking the talk then less than five seconds later forget anything ever happened. I, for one, cannot believe some black people voted for Boris simply because they cannot stand Ken as a person. They do not realise Ken was actually doing something for the BME communities out there.

He set up business opportunities by giving away free money which the Asians seized to start their own businesses whilst Black people as usual stood there and squabbled amongst themselves.

He was let down by Lee jasper who, along with his friends decided to do 419 and got caught.

Well i hope those that saw Ken as a worthless scum bag simply because he put the congestion charge in place start to feel the pinch when Boris decides to put his ridiculous right wing notions into practice.

It is good for Black people to complain but they also have to do the right things and take their own matters into their own hands rather than for some of them to be sitting idly and praying for manna from heaven whilst the others are busy scamming innocent people.

When we stand up and realise where we are wrong, it'll be easier for us to fight racists like Boris Johnson and his right wing Tories. but as long as we wallow in our crying without movement, we'll stay down.

Let us try to consider these points in this case,

1) All BLACK people think alike : "As long as the person is BLACK, the person has to think as I do" mentality. Not all Blacks hate the man as some do apparently as there are blacks that voted for him and are in there with him.

2) All BLACK people think as you do: This is a huge misconception cause the evidence shows otherwise in this case.

3) You can not legislate away racism. You can only vote against people whose views you do not agree with.
