@Sankofa Alwayz did a pretty thorough review
A major con is the decrease in affordable housing
The rent is too damn high
They need to get these house prices under control

By far the best city in Europe. Great job opportunities, great cultural options and very cosmopolitan. Also if you're looking for some fresh air, you got many travelling options (in Europe) for a cheap price.
It can be hard to form social circles if you just moved into London but it can be done, you just need to find your scene. Weather is not perfect (when we get those 2 weeks of proper summer weather tho
)
Would definitely recommend visit London for a week or so.

My big gripe with London is the weather.
Other than that, it definitely is the premier international city, even above NYC.
NYC is diverse but the general mentality of people in the States is very America-centric in terms of culture and politics. London flips that and definitely gives a bigger sense of being a true 'global' city in that regard.

That's the whole point of a INTERNATIONAL City
I don't remember that being the criteria these cities were judged on. But, hey as long as you accept that royal cac London is far superior than Lagos, Accra, Dakar, Jo'burg, Narobi, and Addis Ababa put together.

Because of infrastructure, this how i know you people dont travel and again most of the countries are forced nations or business deals. Nigeria was literally a business deal to a company called Unilever
This is why i constantly tell to go pick up a history book and acutally look into shyt y'all talking about. If this shyt was easy as we wanted to be it it would have been done already
Akon even said he tried to change the power distribution structure of senegal but his president told him to stop because he would have literally caused a war to happen
you lack of understanding about history in regards to other black diaspora and how western powers continue to destabilize majority black nations is annoying
we just had a thread of shyt like this going on in Haiti and how renegade american expats are shipping illegal guns to that nation
Thing is I don't even see Africans and Caribbeans in their diaspora in the US calling for THEIR homelands to be open for transatlantic pan african settlement. Cuz I'll tell you right now since you mentioned Haiti-
If Nigeria opened it's nation up to Haitians immigrants completely unrestricted(which you do kinda owe them seeing as y'all sold their ancestors into chattel slavery and all) you'd have droves of people lined eager to move. I mean I've heard a lot of continental Africans here in America talk about how much they like Haitians, and how we big bad AAs are so mean to them, yet when you look at history all the way to the current time it's been us AAs who stuck our necks out and sacrificed so much for haiti going against our own government many times for them and it's people including their diaspora without receiving anything in return but contempt disrespect from them, yet I don't remember a point in haiti's centuries of history where continent Africans have actually reached out to the haitian people to help them at all.
This "friendship" between Haitians and Continent Africans just seems to limited to US to be one of convenience born out of mutual jealousy and resentment for AAs to form some black immigrant alliance, because we AAs are getting tired of the both of y'all. I don't see Nigerians in Nigeria showing any interest in cooperating with or helping Haiti or it's people. But, that's just my observation.
And yes, europeam looted your nations and the US gov and multinationals practices neo imperialism in your nations, thanks to your corrupt leaders.
That of which my people have always been the loudest against in this country even till this day, despite the fact that it has little to do with us.
The Black Alliance for Peace
WS gone WS. We all know that. Yet that stop y'all from being Pan-African? I guess we're different than y'all because that's exactly what motivated AAs to be more Pan African(until recently).

The trains lines are like a sauna and God forbid you use the London Underground in the summer that shyt's like 60 degrees.
The heat of the tubes is the only thing I hate in London.
Man will get on a train for 20 minutes and hop off soaking wet.
Some of those hot ass tunnels in the King Cross and Oxford Street Tube stations

Oxford Street Station right now is about 50 degrees... and we're in Autumn.Some of those hot ass tunnels in the King Cross and Oxford Street Tube stations
Waterloo Station is like a hot air balloon furnace.
I always go the long route just so I can avoid Waterloo.
When you travel the world their underground stations are air conditioned, like you're in a freezer. FML
I'd give it a 5 but I work there so it's hard to see it from a tourist perspective.
Don't even bother driving unless you don't mind going 10 minutes per mile.
The central line is like a sauna in the summer, the city transport is not built for any type of heat
Most chippys charge at least $12 for fish and chips
I'd recommend seeing the sights and then hopping on a train to the Midlands or further up north

Its not about being "special"What makes you special???
Nyc is the biggest city in the world with New world african and overall black african interaction
London is missing to many key players. missing the black history and creation of "black culture" For cats to be putting it over new york, like that
Not saying the city is not a knockout culturally. But its not fukking with NYC in that department
