Osinbajo has finally changed his tailor

Kufie:
I really don't know what the big deal is here. Opel/Vauxhall is sold in Australia as a Holden. Mercedes Benz Sprinter in America as a Dodge, Mitsubishi Spacewagon in America as a Seat, Mitsubishi L200 as a fiat fullback. Because it's Innoson, you're all going to criticize? SMH

Thanks a lot.
The op is totally ignorant.

This is exactly how Holden an Australian car maker started.


Holden is one of the oldest names in the Australian car market, first as a body builder and assembler of various imported American cars, then as a carmaker in its own right from 1948. For much of the post-war period it was the market leader, but it's now moving from local manufacturer to importer. Holden manufactures the locally-designed Commodore Evoke, SV6, SS and Calais V6 and V8 sedans, wagons and Utes, and Caprice luxury sedan, assembles Cruze sedan and hatch, and imports Cruze wagon, Barina hatch, Trax and Captiva SUVs, and mid-sized Malibu sedan from Korea. The Astra hatch, Cascada convertible and Insignia sedan are built in Europe, and Colorado 7 SUV and Colorado utility from Thailand.

Mod should have added GRAPHIC.

Why not a cow or ram or goat?

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!
This is sacrilege who did this.

Opoki:
I'm always surprised how people kill Puff Adder easily this days.

It is one of the most venomous snakes in the sub Sahara and very aggresive.

It is highly venomous but it is not aggressive and is sluggish, the reason why it may be easier to kill than some other species.

In this day and age, what will it take to glance at number plates ? 1/2 a second?

Will you now say my plate number looked similar to yours? How can you have zero situational and environmental awareness?
Absent mindedness isn't an excuse; what if there are kidnappers in the back seat or criminals lurking nearby?

The culprit had better be a General or a Karate Black belter because if he isn't lynched, I would give him / her slaps to reset the brain to factory settings.

Do you think a thief would politely say "Yes sir, I was kindly stealing your car?"

It's like a rapist caught in the act who says "All vaginas look the same, so I mistook hers for my wife's"

Don't jump to conclusions.
I remember going for school runs one day only to discover on coming out from the classroom that my vehicle had "doubled".
Same vehicle
Same colour
Same trim
And most shockingly same number plates except for the state which will NOT be noticed by a cursory glance.
Parked side by side.

I was in awe for some seconds.

So please broaden your point of view

No one in their right minds would ever consider a toyota and chevy as sexy.

Especially not toyota.

Especially when compared to any Tesla vehicle.

So take your pretentiousness and stuff it up the hydrocarbon ass of your cheap, mass production commuter clunkers.

VavaBoom213:
Ppl that are crucifying the kano indigenes that came up to defend their city must understand that It is not particulary easy to read misconceptions and false facts when you know its not true while others pass it off as enterntainment.you would feel differently if it was your state being talked abt trust me.There comes this urge to correct it and rightfully so because some ppl that have never been to Kano might just leave with this one sided perspective of it. Isnt that the whole point of threads and forums anyway? To join minds and discuss different views. I thk a big problem we have as nigerians is stubbornly clinging to stereotypical theories and here-says about ppl and part of the country that are alien to us. I was born and brought up in Kano state. I have never been to the Southern part of Nigeria but yet i have so many theories abt it from what ive heard and read on the news.
Do you know thesame way Southerners fear the north because of religious fanatism the northerners also fear the south? The notions being peddled abt the south here is that of wickedness, armed robbery, yahoo boys? extreme cultism, kidnapping and so on. There is no day we dont read in the news someone chopped off someones head, or some witch was discovered or some cultist group clash etc. we hardly experience such in the North so it pollutes our minds with ideas of the South. What is point i am trying to make exactly? My point is no part of Nigeria is perfect. We all have our faults and qualities that make us unique. Even though i have never been to the there, i am not so close minded to believe that the whole of southern Nigeria is plagued with such activities.or that i will be kidnapped as soon as i arrive (although it did happen to a friend of mine).I am open minded enough to know that yes such things do happen in certain areas but not the whole region and it doesnt take away from enjoying your life there.
Same goes for this article. I respect Mr Op's narration of his experience.you have a right to say it as you see it. I thk with the exception of a few ppl that attacked him, most ppl were just trying to give you another perspective of Kano life. I can understand how you got your own theories and i believe you when you said they are true because in some remote and less developed areas of Kano that is the way of life. you also complained abt the level of illetracy around the area . So i thk its kind of myopic of you to only consider what uve heard from that part of Kano within the short period uve been here to pass it off as the way of LIfe in the whole of Kano. Since ure still new here atleast i impore you to please open your mind to the perspectives of other Kano indigenes that narrated their own here instead of stubbornly clinging to one narrative and spreading it as such. Afterall, this is what "experience" is about. You collect points of view from different sources before making your conclusion on Kano as a whole. Do not categorize what u have not witnessed with your own two eyes as "experience". It does not qualify as so. You can pass it off as here-say. I have no qualms with what you wrote based on what you experinced with your own eyes no matter how bad it is, its the bitter truth. Its the conclusions from what you heard from others that you pass off as definite and even argue abt it is where i feel ure wrong. Dont bear false witness. Since u never saw anyone getting their hands chopped off or stoned for smoking, dont pass it on as such.its as ridiculous as saying everyone in rivers state is out to kidnap me because i am lightskinned for example. Whenever you are ready, you can holla at me so that i can give you a tatse of the other side of kano . The educated and elite side. I mean it.i would really like to experience that side too. It will shed a whole new light on things and will do good to your service year.Yes i am a hausa muslim female born and brought up here. No i dont wear hijab as it is not compulsory in the Kano i live in. No i am not married and no my daddy will not chop off your hands for talking to me . He is actually helping me write this and he sends his regards. I respect and admire what you're trying to achieve with your service year here in my state. Wish you all the best.

************
Anyways, i need to drop my own two cents on Kano life before i go for the sake of future prospective kano corpers. You have read mr physics's experience from his short duration in kano so far. Read on for a full review of a born and brought up kano indigene. A disclaimer: i use the phrase 'part of kano i am from' alot as this review specifically applies to that area of what i have experienced with own eyes. Meaning i dont discredit what op wrote or what others might say.


*No, smoking is not illegal in Kano state. Perhaps it is in the remote local govt op is serving in( i wont say he is lying because i havent witnessed it myself). But from what i am aware of and the 24yrs i have lived here i have never seen anyone stoned nor crucified for smoking. Cigarettes are sold almost on every nook and cranny.

*in some remote villages and LGA's in Kano, Yes they give islamic education priority before western education and students are required to finish islamiyya first before starting any form of sch. But for the main city of kano, that is completely not the case. Children go to sch as soon as they come of age. Islamic schs are available and optional for those that wish to enrol their kids and it usually holds in the evening around 4-6 so as not to intefere with school hours. It is completely optional. I personally did not even join any islamiyya till age 16 after i completed my secondary school education.

* NO you will not get your hands chopped off for talking to a muslim northern girl. Lol. Never heard of such also. True islamically women are only allowed to marry muslim men but that doesnt stop inter-religious marriages here. Ive heard of many cases where a muslim woman marries a non-muslim man. Highest that ever happens are family disputes not chopping of hands or any other body part from what i know. It is true however that opposite sexes need to be careful abt how they relate with each other in public as too much physical contact is frowned upon.

*hijab is not compulsory in the part of kano i grew up in. It is completely optional. Your choice. The schools i attended growing up, muslims students had the option of wearing it, while non muslims did not wear it. Even as a muslim u can choose not to wear it, its your choice. Many none muslim women walk around comfortably with their heads open. Its perfectly normal.

In Summary, Kano is an islamic state and this attributes to its conservative nature. You cannot categorically compare the way of life here with that of the likes of Lagos, abuja etc. these are very different places in terms of culture, religion, values and geography. Just like any other big city, it is full of its own contradictions. You know quite similar to the mainland vs island mentality in Lagos.However, it really isnt as prudent as some of you paint or imagine it to be. The best LGA to serve in i believe is nassarawa. This is where the heart of the city is and the most developed.Lots of places to chill with lots of amenities you wont find in any other northwestern state. This is why many claim it as the most devoloped state in the region with kaduna coming in as a close second. There are restaurants of all sorts, malls, cinema( Which also you wont find in any other northwestern state except for kano ). parks and lounges to hang out and smoke all you want. There are also quite a collection of clubs for all those interested in the Night life. Drinking however is less common . In certain areas such as nomansland and sabongari you will also find lots of beer parlours and stuff. Those places have the highest population of southerners in Kano and i thk that explains it. You wont find these amenities however in certain areas and local govts as they happen to be less developed and westernized. Such areas cling more towards the religious way of life which is why i said it is wrong to write a review of kano as a whole solely based on living in such areas. I am sure my review of Lagos state for example will be very different if i stay in some remote place as opposed to the city.
The only down side of kano i can say is given the religious nature of the state, the ppl tend to be judgemental which is why certain things are frowned upon. The way some ppl judge eh, you will swear they are God's very own appointed class monitors.Even tho u will not get stoned dressing skimpish, the looks you get from ppl is enough trust me. i am also from here, but i dont come from such school of thought. Everyone has his own grave to each be his own jare.
Sha in the end, any experience is what you make of it. You cant go to china expecting to party like an italian. Aint that the whole point of NYSC In the first place? Experiencing cultures across our rich vast nation and learning to respect that its different from our own. Kano is quite fun in its own way.If you understand the way of life here and respect the culture, really there is nothing to worry abt. Our city is quite peaceful. You can work around with no fear of being kidnapped, robbed or attacked in traffic etc. trust me you wont regret being posted here! Cheers

Wow!
I am extremely impressed beyond words with this very open minded and mature response. You can be an ambassador to preaching tolerance across divides.

Please keep up this wonderful disposition and "infect" others with it.

This lady is just classy.

Buhari did not discover her, GEJ did.

bittertruthz:


Check his name and where he came from, you will be convinced that he is not innocent.................. This has to do with DNA, you cant cheat nature.

OK
The problem you have is his tribe not any evidence against him.

I see.

bittertruthz:


He is not innocent.

He was not proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

There are so many cases like that.

One cannot say for sure he is guilty.

TheNewIbadan:


Lol an Ibo man in Indonesia not a drug dealer? Surprise me with more bull.shit

OK
Your problem is his tribe not the premise of the case.

I see.

TheNewIbadan:


So your Ibo buddy is so dumb that he lives with drug dealers and knows nothing about it? Even though we all know that's what Osus do in Indonesia?

Story for shuku alabama

Living with drug dealers does not make him guilty as you claim.

I guess you know that.

AlphaCentauri:
please forget the sentiment. that man is not innocent. i know many people like that. they own restaurants as a cover to push drugs. the indonesians are not stupid people. that nigga is guilty as charged

job 4 vs 7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

OK

So you sniffed his guilt from your keyboard.

This is a death sentence and he was not proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

Instincts or antecedents are not equivalent to guilt.

Such mindsets are what fuels prejudices.

TheNewIbadan:


Prevent kini? Ibos will still go to Indonesia to deal drugs after this. This ain't the first occurrence.

We are not on the same page.

I am talking about fair trial to a man who was not found to be in possession of drugs but was still executed based on evidence obtained under duress.

bittertruthz:


As long as he is an Igbo aka nation builder................ He is not innocent. He is guilty as charged.

This is exactly the problem.

With this type of mindset from a Nigerian, it is easy to see why the Indonesian authorities can never think of him as innocent even if he is.

There is nothing as unjust as the death of an innocent man.

And there is no wickedness greater than making fun of it.

hakeem4:
Medicine after death

No it is not. The reason why such stories must be told is to help prevent such occurrences in the future.

By the public outcry this will bring, other innocent lives may be saved.

Someone tells a random unverified story and we all go berserk and start tearing at each other while Seun smiles to the bank.

sukkot:
its funny. that nigga was of no use to himself and society so he got put out of his misery. you have to remember now ? God took him out but he used man.

deut 32 vs 39 Look now; I myself am he! There is no other god but me! I am the one who kills and gives life; I am the one who wounds and heals; no one can be rescued from my powerful hand!

From your train of thought you have a readily impressionable brain that is a perfect dough in the hands of fundamentalists.

sukkot:
he out there looking for STONE cold togolese women. pardon the PUN

How is the topic of such a barbaric act even remotely funny

No wonder the horrendous traffic

Why bother

Buhari is deaf.

Did nairaland also say no to BREXIT?

What kind of incomprehensible suffering and smiling disease have the people of Osun been afflicted with

fulanimafia:


Why? They are both politico-economic unions of geographically proximate member states.

You're seemingly the one in need of enlightenment.

The AU is a loose association with no significant unifying economic commitment from its over 50 member countries.

The EU is a unified single economic bloc- the largest in the world, with "no borders for member states, no visas ,no work permits, a largely single currency for over half of member states
etc etc.


Please i hope you are bringing up this argument to keep me busy and i hope you don't remotely believe that the AU and EU are comparable.

The major thing they have in common is the "Unity"in their names.

fulanimafia:


And is there anything wrong with having a referendum?

If the MAJORITY of the people desire a referendum, then it is inevitable. You cannot simply organize a referendum because you don't like the government of the day. That is childish, silly and unreasonable.

Modified


By majority are you referring to "Nigerians" or "Biafrans"

arobest10:
I think EU is An association of countries like AU, why all dis Niger deaftans people dey rant over one country referendum with no bombing and saying bad thing about dia country, Britain's like to leave EU is just Nigeria or Ghana wud like to leave AU(though AU is not as meaningful asEU), Biafra was never a state( na dream biafrauds dey dream) and if so u want leave us we must finish d oil b4 u go, we start it together we must finish it together. is dat clear? epele ;DI think EU is An association of countries like AU, why all dis Niger deaftans people dey rant over one country referendum with no bombing and saying bad thing about dia country, Britain's like to leave EU is just Nigeria or Ghana wud like to leave AU(though AU is not as meaningful asEU), Biafra was never a state( na dream biafrauds dey dream) and if so u want leave us we must finish d oil b4 u go, we start it together we must finish it together. is dat clear? epele

Stop thinking crap and go pick up a book or better use google and get yourself enlightened.

It is moronic to equate AU ties to that of the EU.

fulanimafia:
The EU was never a country, but a politico-economic union of 28 member countries that are located primarily in Europe. The truth is the majority of younger Brits are not happy about the outcome of the referendum, but ironically they mostly refused to vote and left it for the largely conservative older generation.

The atmosphere at the office today was one of uncertainty and displeasure, meanwhile the same people refused to go out yesterday to vote. The younger generation who are actually the ones to bear the consequences of leaving the successful union in the coming decades, have essentially done themselves in by their indifference to such a significant change to their national lives.

You cannot compare apple and oranges.

Scotland just had a referendum.

Or is that apples and bananas.
