Politics / Re: Picture Of Gov. Wada's Wrecked Car by knotty(m): 11:43am On Dec 30, 2012
Hey folks, can you stop celebrating ignorance no matter how blissful it pretends to be?
JEEP is not only a brand name, it is a generic name.
It is a valid English word listed in Collins, Chambers, Michael West dictionaries of the English world. It is also a valid Scrabble word and in Scrabble, we do not play Brand names.
Wait for it, JEEP is also a full fledged verb.
Stop jeeping about in half education, please.

Jeep noun
1 trademark a light military vehicle capable of travelling over rough country.
2 (often jeep) any similar vehicle.
ETYMOLOGY: 20c: from general-purpose vehicle.

Politics / Re: Mad Man’ Strayed Into Lagos Airport Runway by knotty(m): 11:46am On Nov 18, 2012
Did you guys notice that it took airport security 20minutes to get to remedy the situation. 20 whole bunkum minutes.
That mass volume of time is enough to land a distressed flight, disembark the passengers, put off fires and address a press conference .
20minutes to a dying man needing help is eternity.

Car Talk / Re: Breached Safety Issues At Filling Stations by knotty(m): 2:22pm On Nov 13, 2012
On Toyin Street Ikeja, a petrol station is nested right under a 2storeyed building that is fully residential and inhabited.
Dunno how I can sleep in a house where PMS is dispensed right under my sleepy bum.
Car Talk / Breached Safety Issues At Filling Stations by knotty(m): 9:28am On Nov 13, 2012
We certainly do not take safety issues seriously. Our faith in the intervening presence of God more than compensates for our carelessness.
So, we are at ease taking safety issues for granted, even at petrol filling stations.
But, none beats me more than this.

I was at a fuel dispensing station in Festac, MRS to be specific, on Sunday when a man who had just fueled up opened the hood of his car as the attendant was dispensing to a jerrycan carrier.
The next thing we saw was the man dashed into the front seat, brought out another battery, removed the one in the RUNNING ENGINE and replaced it with the one he had just brought out.
WOW!!!
I screamed at the man and it was only then that the supervisor came out and said: ``there is no problem, Oga`.

What about a petrol station that has a resident vulcanizer in it. As he worked on one tire one evening, a sudden gust of wind came and blew his naked fire straight at the dispensing machine. Thankfully that evening there was not one drop of petrol sold in the whole of city as the scarcity of the product was chronic. Now, i imagine if it was a full work day.

share yours please and let`s learn.

His violent disposition may have diminished his greatness, your good upbringing multiplied his worth, erased his failings and elevated his patriarchy forever.

Since you asked for it and started it, let me help you with more adjectives for your sickly father.
He is a Dummkopf and a screwball at the same time.
He is queasy, demented, disturbed, maladjusted, unbalanced, pallid,inexorable and intransigent.
Mildly put, he is mad.

you asked for it

Now, i guess all these adjectives are best fitted for you than your father who has endured the ignominy of your petulance this long.
if you like, ship your sorry a.r.s.e to Kosovo.....who wants to know if it will gladden OBJ,s heart and he will release the 10BRT buses in his detention.

All fathers in the house, may we not bring up kids who will ``so wa le nu` like this.

That list is flawed.
There are by far more brain damaging habits than listed up there.
Top of the list is this*** ageing.
Humans have this annoying habit of aging, growing old. The best brains among them die the fastest and it is plain annoying.

You can never box human behavior in a theory muchless a box.
Sensible men do foolish things just as nitwits get the chance to act sane once in a while.

Car Talk / Re: Did You Memorise Your Car Plate Number? by knotty(m): 6:51pm On Oct 13, 2012
In one of my heady days gone by, ii was once flagged down by a policeman. Of course, I was blasting music at a decibel level fit only for the deaf.
He asked for my driver license which I gleefully produced. Then, he asked for my plate number. Ol boy, embarrassment is an understatement. I started groping, fidgeting, calculating, memorizing, mumbling... summarily, I was lost.
The booze in me cleared, shame nested on miy face. nd finally, humility too over.
I got off my high horse, checked the plate number and muttered aloud...FGE734DAL.
Please, don't blame me, when you drive so many official cars while waiting for your own, you get confused when your own car finally comes along.
Now, I know the numbers of all my cars......did I say cars? Sorry. I meant car.

So you appropriate success to the devil and failures to God? Poor mentality. So he is Illuminati because he is rich

Mtscheew. That is why in Christianity, there are two classes of preachers, those who think wealth comes from satan and those who believe it comes from God.

My message is ''emancipate yourself from mental slavery'' and become whatever you wish to be.[/quote

Dino is more than a dinosaur and as with all dinos, controversies trail them.
An agbero finds his way to the corridors of power once, tastes it,and wants to savour it all through liive yet the agbero in him is still in tact. What do you expect?.
Let's cut the chase... Dino is not who he professes to be. He is no crusader. He is a only interested in his pocket.
