Stephenkayode: Please, Does anyone knows why Odutola tyres, Adebowale electronics, Vista bakery in Ibadan and stationery stores discontinued after the death of the founders. these were indeed great indigenous businesses when the owners were alive.

Yes these founders were great but they may lack of good business management.
There is no reason for business not to continue after the death of the founder if there good management when the founder was alife

Okin Biscuits.

I used to dunk the circular biscuits into my tea, cocoa or coffee until it was soggy. The shortcake, on the other hand, came ready-to-eat (cos it was so sweet).

However, there was another biscuit that I loved even more than okin biscuit. It looked like the shortcake, but I can't remember its name. I often forgot its name, even when I was a kid. When I remembered I would run to my mum excitedly and declare that I don't want okin biscuit, I want **** biscuit.

was it Yale biscuit? that had speedy (purple bag), malted milk and others (yellow wrapper).

Don't know why the pictures aren't visible.

Now you've got me confused. Mustapha was the one who wore glasses, but if I remember correctly, Skidd was the one who had the catch phrase "hit me, hit me".

Skidd Ikemefuna?

Yeah I've been going through it. Can't even imagine how I missed it all this time.

There were three presenters.

Skid Ikemefuna: if I remember correctly, he was the first presenter. He released an album under the name "Mc Skiddo". He later became a pastor. He is now an executive with the Silverbird Group

Mustapha Amego: To me he was the best presenter that the show ever had. He also released an album.

Sylva (sp) Oforgu: he later had his own show on NTA Channel 10.

Who was the one always saying 'hit me hit me hit me'? At the end there was a competition on who could drink Limca the fastest

Henry Rawlinson Carr



He characterised the illiterate masses as swayed more by emotion than reason, with emotions more suited to market women than men. Lagos politics he thought “a kind of systematic insanity”; the people of Lagos had refused to think for themselves: they had placed their trust in a leader who retained his hold over them “by stirring up mob emotions, by using tricks, mass propaganda, hate drill and all kinds of mumbo-jumbo”. Their profession of patriotism was a smoke screen to hide spite, greed, dishonesty and vanity.

Very interesting point of view and still valid till today, especially after the events of this last election
