If I ever find myself in such a situation, I will only use an android OS phone with auto-backup enabled and active dropbox app to take the pictures and video recordings. Even if one million military personnel asked me to delete the footage, i will promptly and gladly delete them knowing fully well that i can retrieve them from my auto-back, drop box or even my recycle bin app.

I checked for update on my galaxy S4 GT-I9500 on Friday and first got an update for Knox 2.3 version which is about 133 mb. After the update i got another firmware update which is about 1227mb (1.2gb) and after the update my android OS was upgraded from verssion 4.4.2 to 5.0.1 LOLLIPOP.

Is it possible for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 to also get android 5.0.1 version because to be candid, android 5.0.1 OS rocks, its cool and classy. Thumbs up SAMSUNG.
PoliticsRe: Fashola Renovating Lagos State Government House Ahead Of May 29th Handover(Pics by alextayo(m): 10:42pm On May 08, 2015
In as much as I support beautification of the state house, it is an eyesore that a garlic smelling white skinned dude is supervising ordinary painting. This is a government boasting about the creation of vocational centres across the state yet employed an expatriate to supervise ordinary painting rather than engaging the graduates from these vocational centre. Are there no indigenous company that can handle this project even if you don't trust the products of your vocational centres.
Car TalkRe: Gear Problem In Mazda Astina 323f by alextayo(op):
Kashif:
Does you mechanic have the right scan tool?

You need to scan before replacing the transmission.

First, you would be able to establish if your car really needs a transmission replacement.
Second, you wont lose TDC codes stored at that stage.
Third, you may harm the replacement transmission if the potential problem is not resolved, depending on its severity.

Meanwhile, I envy you o. 30k for a transmission! You no go understand.....
I understood you Kashif, thats why i went for economy car.. do you think i would have been able to buy a replacement if it sells for 200k... i dey crazehuh.

I will take to your suggestion. Will do that once I close from work tomorrow morning.

Thank you Bros

Kashif:
You should have towed it rather than driving all the way in the first gear. Have the car scanned. If there is an underlying electrical problem, you will change transmissions till thy kingdom come and still face same issue.

GAZZUZ to your rescue!
,
Thank you Kashif

Today is the 4th day my car has been in his workshop and he is not even specific about the cause of the failed gear so I ordered for another gear box at the rate of 30k with the hope that everything will be in place afterwards.

I actually paid 5k for the auto scan but he capitalized on my very busy schedule, did the scan in my absence and has failed to show or analyse the result since then.

I intend doing another auto scan whatever comes out after replacing the gear box.
Car TalkGear Problem In Mazda Astina 323f by alextayo(op):
Good morning house, I have a big problem at hand and need professional advise.

My car MAZDA ASTINA 323F GLX was tested and confirmed to be working well in the morning before it was driven to Ogun state where it developed gear problem. The automatic gear failed to enter reverse, neutral and only run on gear 1 which was about 40km/hr. The car was driven back to Lagos on a speedometer of 40 with frequent intermittent stop.

I took it for repair and the AUTO-mechanic worked on it. It is now working on reverse and neutral but still failing to change gear. I would have loved to change the whole gear box and save myself all these stress, but the mechanic is giving me an excuse that the fault may be electrical or even the oil pump.

PoliticsJimi Agbaje's Position On Fashola's Slander Politics by alextayo(op): 9:20am On Feb 24, 2015
The Honourable Governor B.R. Fashola (SAN) has lied again and I think it's time to address his repeated blunder.

With regards to my taxes, there is no truth in this latest piece of misinformation that the Honourable Governor has been peddling. Following the repudiation of his initial allegations about JAYKAY PHARMACEUTICALS unpaid taxes, he has lied again, giving the impression that my company has gone to pay money supposedly owed to the government.

JAYKAY PHARMACEUTICALS has not paid a kobo since the day the Honourable Governor launched his initial attack. We stick to the facts contained in its initial publication, which encapsulated the company's reaction to the Governor’s initial falsehood. To now insinuate that I have gone behind the curtains to pay N500,000 is clearly political silly season, for lack of a better phrase, and quite frankly, beneath your person.
It's understandable that we've both had our differences in course of this election season, but when the Honorable Governor goes about launching unbridled, flat-out-false attacks at me about something as important as taxes, you leave me no choice but to call you out, Sir.
When I got into this race, I decided to make it about the issues. My opponents, not so much. They talked about me being inexperienced and at some point they saidI was too old to govern and we responded with BOLD IDEAS intended to put Lagos on a new trajectory - one that is NOT based on the Jagaban's tax-and-spend economics but on a framework that would radically push us to new economic frontiers for some of the most under-developed regions of the state like Epe and Ikorodu. They ridiculed our ideas around government-enabled free wifi hotspots across the city - an idea targeted at widening the reach of a world of knowledge that the Internet offers to our young and aspiring populace - especially in areas of low penetration. They called it bold ignorance and out of touch with reality but quickly went on to implement wifi Internet-enabled buses a couple of weeks after. As much as we're glad that our BOLD IDEAS inspire you as much as they do us, one must begin to question the seriousness of the opposition in Lagos to make this election about the issues.
How ever you cut or dissect our success as a state over the last 16-years, the fact is that Lagos in the Economic intelligence Unit (EIU) is still ranked 137th out of 140 cities listed in the liveability index. This means that if you take 140 cities worldwide where people consider good to live in, Lagos is the fourth worst place to live in. Apart from this, a World Bank survey shows that of the 36 states in Nigeria, Lagos is still the worst state in terms of the ease of securing Building Permits. It is still on record too that the party the Honourable Governor represents has delivered less than 5,000 housing units till date. It is still on record that more students in Lagos fail WAEC than those who pass. Even when we consider corruption, we are aware that Honourable Governor Fashola is yet to challenge anyone for corruption at the state level. Or is he saying Lagos is 100 percent corruption-free? Yet he goes about castigating the Federal Government. He should walk his talk and lead by example – expose and prosecute high-ranking corrupt officials in his government and the state civil service. The corruption in the Lekki Toll Plaza will be made public in due cause.

Clearly, we still have a lot of work to do as a State but the Honourable Governor Babatunde Fashola has set out to exploit the commanding heights he occupies in the seat of government to bully us. And quite frankly, we shall stand up to bullies.
I think what Lagosians should begin to ask is what is driving the Honourable Governor Fashola’s violent outbursts? What has he got to hide? Other than lay the facts bare to enable the public form an informed opinion.

I refuse to be baited into his self-declared verbal warfare. My politics and campaign will be issues-based and no roforofo badmouthing from anyone, no matter how highly placed, will steer me away from development-based politicking.

There are more pressing issues, more important conversations to have and more problems to solve. And the people of Lagos are wondering if their leaders get it. The teachers, the students, the blacksmiths, the bankers, the taxi-man, the small-business owners, they all hope that their leaders understand that the outcome of this election and the future of this state is bigger than any one personality or party. Whatever we do or commit to doing determines whether they have food to put on their tables; whether they can own homes, pay salaries or that their children can go to schools of their choice. They deserve better. The people definitely deserve better.

anonimi:
Particularly on this issue raised, Fashola has been a horrendous disappointment and REGRESSIVE governor.

Not many remember how he carried his sick father abroad while telling Lagos doctors, who were on strike, to go to hell literally.





Yet some of our people not only want to reward these anti-people Thief'nuibu cabal with retention in Lagos state but even worse with promotion to Abuja presidency shocked
How did we become so daft as a people huh
He is a Party National Leader
His Wife is a serving Senator gunning for second term
His Daughter is the Iyaloja General
His son-in-law is a serving house of Reps member
And now you want to give him access to the Presidency.....

Oh God, when will your people be wise.

In as much as I wont like to vote for GEJ, I totally faulted GMB partnership with people who cannot be trusted with public funds. Only God knows how many more family members will be imposed on us.
PoliticsRe: Jimi Agbaje Replied Gov. Fashola Over Claims Of Having No Political Experience by alextayo(op): 11:17am On Feb 22, 2015
Everybody knows that Ambode is Tinubu's errand boy.... He was the one that fueled the Fashola vs Tinubu crisis sometimes ago. Anytime Tinubu demands for money and Fashola is unwilling to release such money, all he (Tinubu) does is put a call across to Ambode and the rest is history...

How long do we want to continue having ERRAND BOYS running the state. Even Fashola as an incumbent governor was incapacitated at the APC Primaries when his candidate Sashore (SAN) lost out.

Jimi is a politician and has worked together with Tinubu during the Afenifere era, so they knew each other so well, but because Tinubu does not want a politician who may eventual betray him the way he betrayed Ganiyu Dawodu, he masterminded Fashola (a technocrat) to run for the office of the governor. So he systematically pushed Jimi out of the party.

I only pray they don't kill Jimi they way they slaughtered Funsho Williams (R.I.P)
PoliticsJimi Agbaje Replied Gov. Fashola Over Claims Of Having No Political Experience by alextayo(op): 9:17am On Feb 22, 2015
'I've always maintained that knocking Governor B.R. Fashola (SAN) for his achievements all because I'm running for Governor on a different platform will just be playing mere politics - and that's not what I've set out to do in this campaign. However, I like to think that Governor B.R. Fashola (SAN) and I have very different positions and ideologies when it comes to leadership and what we both think is critical to developing Lagos into a world class mega-city.

This leads me to an issue that needs to be addressed. An issue that has to do with our doctors and healthcare workers.

First and foremost, I find it heart wrenching that at our level of development in Lagos, we still have to grapple with the decision of paying the salaries of our doctors. You see, quite simply, we cannot expect to have grown our economy by almost a hundred fold in the last 16 years without improving the lives and working conditions of our healthcare workers. It's not just logical. What's the purpose of building schools, if our children cannot afford it? What's the purpose of building bridges, if it doesn't connect people to commercial activity? What's the purpose of leadership, if there are no followers? What's the purpose of such great prosperity, if it doesn't trickle down to the least of us? This is where I think we fundamentally differ. There's a semblance of being progressive on the surface but the position and decisions that the honorable Governor has made over his tenure leaves us to wonder if truly he and the leaders in the Lagos' ruling party, the APC, are true Progressives - in the footsteps of great Yoruba leaders like Awolowo and LK Jakande.

You see being progressive has nothing to do with your party. It's in your lifestyle, in your instinct, it's subconscious. I learnt this from my great mentor Pa Abraham Adesanya - A man that took me under his wings as a young politician and taught me all that I know about politics. He would say, "It's about the people, Jimi. At the end of the day, no other metric counts, no validation is greater than the one you see on the faces and in the lives of our people. If they are hungry and without jobs; if they're without a roof over their heads; if they're uneducated and lack the basic life skills to compete; then we've all failed even if we build the tallest of skyscrapers or the longest of bridges."

That's what I call being Progressive.

So don't lecture me on experience. If your so called experience doesn't have a human face to it, it's all for nothing.

Let me assure Lagosians that hope is on the way. And being a Pharmacist myself and understanding the importance of a healthy people to national development, I intend to do more in this area. I have said under my watch, we shall introduce a free-health insurance scheme that would be beneficial to Lagosians and service providers, amongst other things. It's bold - no doubt - but it's possible. As long as we have the the political will to see it through, it will happen.

Government must begin to work not for a few elites that gather on the main streets of Bourdillon but for ALL people. Whether you're a banker or a blacksmith, an electrician or an exporter, teachers, Okada riders, students and lecturers. We are all one people in pursuit of the basic needs in life: opportunity, liberty, dignity of work and the pursuit of happiness.

So in this election, let us make it clear to the opposition that when it comes to being Progressive:
It is not in the size of the cap, it's in the THOUGHTS.
It's not by the shape of the glasses, it's in the VISION.
And it's definitely not for them to decide whose feet the shoes fit. Our progressiveness is about the PATH that Lagosians themselves choose to travel and our ability as leaders to harness that.

God bless.'

From the fake story you gave while exhibiting your highest level of stupidity, I make this bold assertion that

1. Your story and the pictures does not correspond.

2. The lady in the pic was cooling down with a pack of five alive fruit drink and not hollandia yoghurt, small stout, plate of rice, and a plate of pepper soup, except you are so dumb to differentiate between juice drink and yoghurt.

3. The lady in the pic ought to sue your broke ass to court for defamation of her person.

4. If you still insist that your story is true. Then you are a grade one dumb ass because you eventually bought the suya.
Car TalkRe: AA Rescue Driving School Scam by alextayo(m): 12:26pm On Jan 13, 2015
I visited their Dolphin estate office with my 36k on 21st Dec 2014 hoping to start driving classes with them and immediately changed my mind based on the not too convincing atmosphere.
From the time I entered the compound with gate opened till I located my way to the reception, there was no sign of a living object. I stood there for close to 15mins shouting "hello, anybody here?". On my way out of the compound, I met the security guard who apparently abandoned his duty post on my way in and he explained that there is nobody in the office. He then called a man from outside who told me to come back the following week.

A banner was also fixed to the gate where they advertised outsourcing drivers job for their students and it was also stated that they assist in facilitating issuance of driving licence.
