Reply to: Why should we interfere in Nigeria and not in Iraq?

That's Carruthers.

He's the one in the middle.

How could I miss him? Holding his trusty table tennis bat up to his face. Carruthers was always a master of disguise!

Well now it's obvious why Britain lost the Nigerian colonies. In the annual funny hat contest, Her Majesty's representatives didn't stand a chance against these local chaps. Some spectators were so amazed they rushed out to see the show without even getting dressed!

Gad sir, back in my day we controlled the place largely with a chap in a funny hat.

Is that why you are wearing a funny hat in your avatar?

NO, Lord Lugard didn't have a funny hat. Just a funny moustache.

Anyone got the answer to this?

Nigeria exports oil just like Iraq you know!

Oil reserves in Nigeria

It's all okay.

Apparently a lot of the girls have learnt the first few verses of the Koran and have realised the error of their ways.

So they are no longer prisoners but are there willingly.

Apparently.

Bet they still do not open the gates.

Also quite funny how a few days back they were going to sell them as slaves but now that seems to have gone out of the window - maybe someone pointed out the irony of that to them????

If the Client won't sign with the Agency then you cannot sign a contract with the Agency . You have made an offer to the Agency but they cannot accept your offer therefore they can hardly sue you for breach of contract. The Agency should follow the client's procedures. The one time this happened to me the Client simply told the agency that the position was on hold and organised another manager to interview me via their approved agency.

That might be the case but DA is not working with the Nigerian extremists. They told him to sod off as there is no way they would resort to recruitment consultants!

We're not actually going to do anything. Too far away and too expensive.

Its just one of those stories that our politicians like to be seen to be 'engaged' with. Look sad and concerned on camera. The peasants like to see that sort of thing.

I think if you expect freedom of movement to Australia, New Zealand and Canada you might be disappointed.

I don't. I nearly moved to Canada but my Canadian girlfriend turned out to be a psychopath as well as a nymphomaniac.

We would not be interfering. We would be trying to help the elected government overcome a foreign force in the same way as the Americans helped us win WW 1 and WW2 .No doubt the Germans at the time believed they were interfering. Getting rid of a government like Iraq or Syria is interfering.

I'll be sure and phone Goodluck Jonathan and tell him that.

They're still a member of the Commonwealth so surely under a future non-EU government there would be free movement of people from Nigeria anyway?
