Two months ago, the UK Daily made a report in which it wrote on how wealthy Africans are spending almost £4 million on London prime property every week as they snap up some of the most exclusive mansions for sale in London.
According to the report, a majority of the Africans snapping up these estates are mostly from countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Congo, Gabon, Cameroon and Senegal.
And among these buyers, the article says Nigerians are the biggest spenders in London when it comes to Africans. These Nigerians are not the type that goes to property auctions to get a house. For them, money is not the problem, if they like it, they’ll buy it.
Some of the Nigerians alleged to own a property in these exclusive and prime London neighbourhoods are Aliko Dangote, a Nigerian business magnate who, with a £16 billion fortune, is Africa’s wealthiest man – Folorunsho Alakija, a billionaire oil tycoon, fashion designer and philanthropist from Lagos, and her British-born nephew Rotimi Alakija and many more.
To find out the prime areas Nigerians are buying their London property, Ruona Agbroko-Meyer took to the street to speak with a London estate agent as well as Nigerians living in London.
According to the estate agent, a majority of the Nigerians buying these luxurious properties are in their mid-30s and mid-40s. And the houses they buy are from £500,000 and £6 million.
When asked if they would buy such expensive houses in London, the opinion among Nigerians was split. Some said they would if they had such money. “I would like to buy in Mayfair,” says one Nigerian lady. “But unfortunately, I cannot afford to live there.”
Others feel it’s a waste to buy property with such an exorbitant price when it’s not in your motherland.
Many also said the majority of Nigerians buying houses at such ridiculously huge amounts are only those that have stolen from the government.
“You have to ask – where do they get the money from? Was it stolen money, because if you steal money from the government or wherever – you want to live big,” queried one man.

Ghanaian pastor abuse pregnant woman. In a shocking video, the Ghanaian pastor was seen abusing a pregnant woman all in the name of deliverance. In the footage that looked like what was recorded with a mobile phone, the pastor is seen stepping and kicking on the woman’s belly.
The footage shows the man of God speaking in tongues and kicking the pregnant woman’s belly in a bid to cure her from an ailment she is alleged to be suffering from.
This is not the first time pastor Daniel Obimin, the founder of the Ghana-based International God’s Way Church is getting into trouble with the law. Sometime ago, he was arrested and charged with using offensive weapons on his congregation. In another incident, he was accused and charged for sleeping with one of his pastor’s wife.
Being described by many as a false prophet has not deterred members from blindly following his teachings and abuse.
That the woman allowed herself to be abused in such a manner and put her unborn child at risk shows how gullible many Christians are when it comes to their pastors. Instead of going to the hospital to get treatment for whatever she’s suffering from, she decided her pastor was the best person to treat her.
See video of the Ghanaian pastor abusing the pregnant woman below.
This is not the first time an African pastor is seen abusing one of his member or the congregation. Earlier this year, pastor Daniel Lesego from South Africa made news when he commanded his members to eat grass from the field and they obeyed. There is also a footage of the Rabboni Centre Ministries pastor commanding a demon out of a woman’s stomach. He’s alleged to have healed the woman from a demonic pregnancy.
In this photo, pastor Daniel Lesego from South Africa commands his members to eat grass from the field. They obeyed!!!
In 2011, Nigerian Bishop David Oyedepo, founder and leader of the Living Faith Chapel (aka Winners Chapel) was recorded abusing a teenage girl he alleged was a witch. In the footage, the pastor is seen slapping the face of the girl whom he accused of being a witch during an attempt to exorcise the supposed spirit of witchcraft in her. The abused girl who was kneeling in front of the congregation was heard saying: “i’m a witch for Jesus.” This angered the pastor who hit her hard on the left cheek, screaming, “Do you know who you are talking to?”
The footage became an internet sensation that provoked social media outrage in Nigeria and across the world.
In this photo, Pastor Oyedepo and the woman he slapped are on the left. On the right is another photo of the popular Nigerian pastor.
In 2012, pastor Oyedepo was accused of exploiting his British worshippers. At the moment, the pastor is planning to open a school in Kent, England. But, human rights campaigners and the National Secular Society (NSS) are advocating for the government to stop him as the church links child “disobedience” to witchcraft, the BBC reports.
Also in Nigeria, the preachings of Evangelist Helen Ukpabio has resulted to children being maimed and killed for allegedly being termed witches. Earlier this year, it was reported that the witch hunting evangelist was deported and banned from entering the UK because of her extreme teachings.
Mario Balotelli is always trailed by one media controversy after another, the Liverpool striker has been charged by the English Football Association with racially stereotyping black and Jewish people in an Instagram post that read: “Don’t be racist — be like Mario. He’s an Italian plumber created by Japanese people who speaks English and looks like a Mexican.’ But at the bottom of the image were other words that read: ‘jumps like a black man and grabs coin like a Jew.” The post was from an image of video game character Super Mario.
The Italian player quickly deleted the post and later apologized after sparking controversy for his post. In another post, he defended his his earlier one by adding: ‘My mom is Jewish so all of u shut up please’
But Balotelli’s apology was not enough as he has now been charged by the FA under rule E3 that defines his posting to be ‘abusive/insulting or improper ‘. He has until 6pm on December 15 to respond to the charge.

“We abhor all forms of racism, wherever it is found,” Johnson, who is the
Current chief executive of the UK Jewish Leadership Council and former FA executive Simon Johnson, has called on the FA to punish the 24-year-old Balotelli.
Speaking to the UK Daily Telegraph, he said: “We call upon the FA to investigate this offensive social media post and to take action if appropriate if we are to succeed in kicking racism out of football.”
Under the FA’s social media guidelines, the minimum ban for race-related rule breaches is five games.
It’s a dark season for black people in America as police killing of unarmed Africa Americans is getting incessant. Not long after violent protests seeking justice for Ferguson teenager who was killed by a white cop and another black man that was choked to death by a white officer took place, a Phoenix white officer has killed another unarmed black man.
The white police officer shot and killed 34-year-old Rumain Brisbon on Tuesday, December 2nd after mistaking his Brisbon’s pill bottle for a gun.
According to reports from the Phoenix police, the father of four was suspected to be a drug dealer and was approached by a 30-year-old white officer after a tip-off. Brisbon was asked to come down from his Cadillac SUV for a search by the officer and he agreed.
While coming down from his vehicle, Brisbon was said to have ‘appeared to be removing something’ from the rear seat, according to the police report. He was then instructed to show his hands by the officer. Instead of obeying the command, Brisbon is alleged to have placed one or both hands in his waistband area before fleeing to a nearby apartment building and was pursued by the officer.
The report says Brisbon refused another command from the officer asking him to get on the ground and alleged he started insulting the officer who he struggled with after he was caught.
“During the struggle, Brisbon put his left hand in his pocket and the officer grabbed on to the suspect’s hand, while repeatedly telling the suspect to keep his hand in his pocket,” said the police report.
The two men fell inside an apartment after a door was opened. The officer believed he felt the handle of a gun while holding the suspect’s hand in his pocket”, the statement continued. Having become “unable to maintain his grip on the suspect’s hand”, the officer shot Brisbon twice in the torso. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A search of Brisbon pocket showed the item was a vial containing several oxycodone tablets. According to a police report, a handgun and a jar allegedly carrying marijuana were found inside Brisbon’s SUV. The unarmed black man shot by police was found to have a criminal record including a burglary conviction.
The officer, who has worked for the department for seven years, was not harmed. Police said he was in the area to investigate an alleged burglary but were told by two people that men inside a black Cadillac SUV were engaged in a drug deal.
Brandon Dickerson, a friend of Brisbon who was driving with him at the time of the event told the Arizona Republic that Brisbon was at the apartment building where he was shot dead to deliver fast food to his children. The newspaper reported that “on Wednesday evening, strewn french fries still littered the front porch”.
Marci Kratter, an attorney for Brisbon’s family, told the newspaper they were considering a wrongful death lawsuit. “It was a senseless tragedy,” she said. “He was unarmed and not a threat to anyone. We intend to pursue this to the full extent of the law.”
