Car Talk › Re: FRSC!!! There Is No Such Thing As A Lexus Jeep by CodeTemplarr: 7:02am On Dec 30, 2025 |
DrMB: In Nigeria, it's super common for dominant brand names to become generic terms for entire product categories, a phenomenon called "genericide" or genericization. This happens when a brand dominates the market so much that people forget (or ignore) the actual generic name.
Here are some classic examples:
Jeep → Refers to any SUV or 4x4 vehicle (e.g., Toyota Prado, Lexus RX, or Honda CR-V is casually called a "Jeep" . This stems from early rugged vehicles like Willys Jeeps being iconic on Nigerian roads, especially in military/government use. Indomie → Used for any instant noodles, even brands like Mimee, Honeywell, Golden Penny, or Dangote Noodles. Maggi → Means any seasoning/stock cubes (bouillon), regardless of brands like Knorr, Royco, or Terra. Gala → Refers to any sausage roll snack. Dettol → Any antiseptic/disinfectant liquid. Hypo (or sometimes Jik) → Any household bleach. Pampers → Any disposable baby diapers. Vaseline → Any petroleum jelly. Omo → Any laundry detergent powder. Close-Up or Macleans → Any toothpaste (varies by generation/region). Sellotape → Any clear adhesive tape. Super Glue → Any fast-acting cyanoacrylate adhesive.

Obi recognizes power rotation between north and south. That's why he agreed to be Atiku's running mate in 2019 and not in 2023. He won't still be Atiku's running mate in 2027.
Secondly, majority of Obi's supporters recognize this power rotation too.
Therefore, anyone that thinks Atiku will automatically inherit Obi's supporters if Obi becomes his running mate in 2027 is on a high delusion.
Conclusion: Obi will not become running mate to anyone again. under which party? |

azpekuliar: Abacha ke? Which Abacha? The rate at which we have manufactured poverty there is nothing 10 Abachas will do. No amount of bullets will defeat insecurity that is driven by out-of-school children, low rate of girl-child education and mass poverty. Insecurity isnt linked to poverty. If there was poverty, why are the governors wasting money on hajj, ramadan, moaques, imams, and religious giveaways? USA won't dash you shi-shi but bullets n bombs. |

adicius: North and south Nigeria can no longer live in harmony and it's clear to see. It's time we all have a referendum to split Nigeria into 5 or 6 countries. We would agree to share the oil revenue for the next 15 years as we have been together for 60 plus years. The 15 years will allow the individual countries to build the necessary infrastructure etc, it needs to survive. Also the south south will get the lion share of the oil revenue, but after the 15 years elapse, no more oil sharing . Each country should finally now rely on their national resources and human capital etc. This will foster competition and development and it's the way to go as no one will feel left out or marginalised. God bless
. No need to share oyel money for 15 years. Let's break the useless union. It is like a rapist calling his acts towards a victim non negotiable show of love. Even if there is resistance in form of a war, think of it, war is expensive, who will fund it from the northern part? Is it their billionaires like Dangote & BUA? Or they will suddenly tax their poor? Or turn to Iran thats almost starving economically? |

A very daft interview from thuggar. He is fo.olishly trying to lay the blame back on America and NATO allies by blaming their last intervention in the sahel as the trigger that has caused insecurity here. No wonder the usual nairaland APC bots are waxing lyrical for the daft thing Was it Libya that caused army to be supporting the terrorists to kidnap Christian farmers? Or Libya caused them not round up the terrorists. Libya also caused the govt to sentence peope acting on self defence to death. Libya helped the lynching of Deborah. Libya helped herders attack farmers. This is a daft interview. |
