So London just got their new mayor. A floppy haired upper-class dude by the name of Boris Johnson. Now, i think the only reason he won this election is because the last mayor, Ken Livingstone had become so unpopular. So basically, I think anyone with a high enough profile could have won! Ken was becoming quite a tyrant.
He introduced the congestion charge which now costs £10 DAILY to drive into central london from 7am-7pm Mon-Fri, the 4X4s were to pay £25 (because they damaged the environ). Daily oh. Worst of all it did nothing for congestion and the money earned didnt even go into improving public transport like he promised. Instead he used to create campaign after campaign. Posters, leaftlets everywhere on something new.
But I must say that english elections are nothing like their cousins across the pond. The most 'damaging' thing to come out of this elections was that Mr Ken had 5 children by 3 different women. LOL... shock shock horror horror. LMAO.
Anyway, Mr Johnson put on this Africa Day to mark everything black- nice one i think! Never heard of it before now but it sounded interesting so I put up a facebook event and invited the world.
Now, if you are in London and interested in attending, its at Trafalgar Square on Bank Holiday Monday, 26th. From 1pm to 8pm.

That munachi abii is so useless. She tried stealing psquare from lola but lola fine pass her i beg, she did not succeed o! Like she did with grace egbagbe, i heard her and grace where sending bad text messages to each other on this one before she was also jumped secretly. beauty they say is not enough, character is the key to win a man's heart! i just hate girls who think they can come into the picture and steal men from women like her. God punish you munachi!
