Politics / Re: Photos Of South African Troops In Maiduguri ? by FLYBOY(m): 12:32am On Mar 08, 2015
BEEGAGLE’S BLOG
7 March, 2015

This weekend, Nigerian opposition knuckleheads, ever so eager to discredit, floated photographs of what were supposedly South African mercenaries riding in REVA MRAPs.

While the controversy raged on in Nigerian cyberspace, a respected aficionado of South African extraction went to town on his own volition and after exhaustive enquiries, wrote to confirm the fact that the contentious photograph was photoshopped. The photos were certainly not shot in Nigeria.

So take those photographs circulating in cyberspace to be another bad example of how far the desperadoes in Nigeria’s political opposition will go to discredit the military and the FG which controls it. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Beegs

Just saw the Linda Ikeji post and the
ensuing discussion on your site. For
what it’s worth, those pics were taken in Guinea Equatorial:

1) The rear view of Vehicle 2C shows an EG flag and the signpost is in
Spanish;

2) The Oando reference of your
correspondents doesn’t hold up – the
company operates throughout West Africa; and

3) More important, that’s the MKIII
version, which EG acquired in 2013.

END

I am pleased to inform you, gentlemen, that pursuant to the unprecedented build-up of assets which the Nigerian Army are undergoing, we are also now operators of the latest REVA Mk.5 MRAPs and battlefield ambulances. In the days ahead, we shall begin to see them in the field.

Watch this space.

pls show us where u read that fela used to walk the streets Unclad
I promised to ignore you but read this
http://blog.felaonbroadway.com/2009/11/felas-stark-Unclad-jig.html

I think it a great privilege to be the first daughter of a great man like Fela Anikulapo Kuti. I remember a lot of the stories my mother and grandmother told me of the times they had with Fela in England when they met. Fela and my mother, Remi, were so young and full of life!

There was one funny story about the British people that I find amusing to this day. You know how British people can be reserved but nosy? So my grandmother and her neighbour used to peep at each other every day and gossip about whatever they saw. Fela used to watch them and one day while she was in the act of peeping he just pulled open the curtain and exposed her. She was so upset she went red with embarrassment. Another time, while the other neighbour was peeping, he pulled the curtain and did a jig while he was stark Unclad. I suppose that would have cured that lady of peeping and I’m sure it cured my grandmother somewhat.

This kind of story doesn’t detract from the sheer talent and heavily ideological mind that he had and his dream for the emancipation of the Black race. When I was a teenager I went to many university lectures with him that has influenced my own ideology until today. He expanded my mind to the great history of our people from the Pharaohs in Egypt right up to the slave trade.

I know that the corruption of our leaders was the one thing that gave Fela the greatest concern, but I think he was disillusioned at the time of his death. No matter how many songs he sang about corruption and mismanagement we still went out and voted for the worst culprits that he’d already warned us about. A good example is our former president, Obasanjo. Despite being a topic of many Fela songs, we still voted him into office and when he did not perform well we complained. If only we had listened to Fela we would have know he was unlikely to do anything positive.

You know Fela’s name, Anikulapo-Kuti (which I bear with pride) means “I have death in my pouch.” Many people would not understand that name, but the real meaning is what we see now: his name never dies. The present interest in him is as if he was still alive. For generations to come Fela will be a source of inspiration to millions of people around the world. I feel proud to be his daughter and could not have asked for a greater father.

you probably know better than she does

Did you read what you posted, Can you kindly show where it says HE was on the street!!!!!!
You level of comprehension is appallingly low
Politics / Re: What Can Be Done To Stop The Flooding In Lagos? by FLYBOY(m): 9:12pm On Jul 11, 2011
We are all to blame.

Look at our houses and compounds, CONCRETE, PAVING STONES etc.
Where do we want the water to drain to, Naturally, water would have seeped into the earth.
Compounded by the fact that we are all guilty of throwing polyethylene "pure water" bags away without a care.
sand filling building in natural drainage channels, etc

Still all this can be remedied with immediate action.
Laws should be enacted and enforced looking into all the above factors.

@4llerbuntu
general nice sturvs. already been looking thru the market. for instance a rocking music player, found that player pro is 4 dollars.
me wey i fit flash the fone in the next 1 hr?, PowerAMP is a better player IMO

a tethering app would also be welcome, that sorta thing, should do this out of the box

then wat app would u recommend for live tweeter/facebooking? Twitter/Advanced Facebook
the fone does that fine, i just dont like the implementation. refers u to the browser to read/respond.
id prefer something that does live notifications and direct responses, IF AVAILABLE Grin Cheesy Cheesy


anyways, will start reading the thread backwards

users of whatsapp, how did u activate it? installed one that tries to send a text and fails Huh Huh Huh, Delete and reinstall


Where are you at?

Autos / Re: Nationwide Satellite Navigation System 4 Nigeria Now Available, Travel With Ease by FLYBOY(m): 12:07pm On Apr 17, 2009
I have used the maps from 3rd Dimension, both on my bike and in the car
and I will surely recommend them to anyone.

I have ridden all around Nigeria and the maps easily route.
Street level for towns visited are accurate enough.

Even small villages show roads but no names as can be expected.

No, I do not work for 3rd Dimension and as a matter of fact, never been to their offices personally.

What is good is good

Now if they would just hurry up and release the West Africa maps, wink
