Laughing, you're right about your description Stella, I've heard same story from different people that have been to Peckham some years back. I like your dad already Naira Marley, that's how it's supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteStella, you really sabi. That Peckham eh? He really did not grow up in London
ReplyDeleteHis father actually did a good thing, i have a friend too born and bred in d UK and u wont know. Her yoruba isnt 100% but she speaks abit and understands well; their father sent them down to naija for secondary sch and its helped them...
DeleteLol..
ReplyDeleteLondon na just Oshodi wey dey inside freezer..
You go jam people dey scatter Yoruba for the street of that south London, if dem send Yoruba people wey dey there back to naija, half of the town don do..
One of my course mates back in school who never spoke Yoruba here, na for the street of that south London him learn Yoruba.. boy is fluent AF now
Peckham is worse now went there this week I saw an old naija woman selling ten pieces of bitter cola in a tray on the road I just weak typical naija market setup I just hold my bag tight.

ReplyDeleteNope you got it all wrong,Peckham is not as bad as you lot here and Stella making it to seem like,I do my food shopping there weekly,I live in London Bridge area,most of the people selling food stuff are Pakistani,not Nigerians,except for a few like BIMS,majority of those hairdressers you just talked about are Edo/Benin people,not yoruba people like you just assumed,only a few of them are,Yoruba people own multiple shops in Peckham,they operate their businesses in one or two of their shops and rent out some,those people make good money and they are not lazy,there are varieties of people from different countries operating businesses in Peckham not just Nigerians,the nail technicians in Peckham are mostly Asians/Chinese,there are Banks,eateries/restaurants,Peckham is safe,nobody would rob you there,I have forgotten my shopping in Peckham like twice,realised when I was almost home,I went back ,I found my stuff,it was safely kept aside incase the owner comes looking,Peckham is quite an interesting place ***JP
Deletedidn't even know he could speak English till I heard him talk once.
ReplyDeleteStella, you ehn.
ReplyDeleteI no know who bad pass.
You or most of your Blog visitors 🤣
Every day na cruise here.
Peckham!! You see white garment church people walking barefoot, women dragging you sister come and make your hair like they do back home
ReplyDeleteI hate people dragging me. I go wound you.
DeleteA lot of exaggerations here. Was there and was expecting some of these scenarios described but was pleasantly surprised. Maybe the are of East London I visited was different. Yorubas are like that, not only in that area. You can identify us them even in Oxford Street elegantly dressed sometimes in Iro and Buba 😀
ReplyDeletePeckham is in south London not east
DeleteSouth-east London
DeletePeckham is south-east London,SE15,you lot are just exaggerating making it look like it's such a bad place,the high street is mostly markets,Banks and offices,Naira Marley parents house is close to Peckham Rye station area,at the back,there are very lovely houses in Peckham on the back streets,you can say it's a very busy area,yeah I agree,what do you expect from a marketing arena? You'll always get whatever you want to buy in Peckham,it's just the best,Dalston market in East London is another good one***JP
DeleteI go to Peckham ones in month to buy Africa foods, you get real fresh ugu, water leaves, uha okazi, perewrinkles, crayfish, correct dry fishes, real good tailors that sew traditional attire. The place always remained me of most nigeria markets. But not a good place to stay. Na Ajegunle of naija. Na there you go see court guys, drug sellers.

*cult guys*
*once*
Anon 16.50,where do you see the drug dealers and cult guys cos I've never encountered none and I have lived in this UK for 25years,Peckham is somewhere I go regularly to shop for food stuff,there are a few junkies that hang around begging for money,they do not rob people,and they are not Nigerians, some are oyinbo,Russians,like those none English speaking funfun,Peckham is where you'll get your food fresh to stock your freezers at home with all sorts of Nigeria varieties,Peckham high Street is a very busy place not rough,hustle & bustle goes on there not thuggery ,to top it all Peckham police station is just a flash away from the market area*****JP
