Damn.

Bleach can kill so why rather video the incident than stopping the little girl from drinking from that can? Some people are sick.

We are in the social media generation where folks would rather photograph an ongoing catastrophe than stop it. That's a sick generation, bro.

It's actually business. That's all it is, crazy business.

A phenomenom swept YouTube in the late 2000s. A lot of young people in America discovered that they could make a lot of money by shooting pranks and uploading them to their YouTube channels. These prank videos gained millions of views and since YouTube paid advertising revenue to people that had lots of views, these people made a lot of money.

Many of these pranks were extremely dangerous and reckless. Some of these pranksters were actually arrested by the police. One of the most notorious pranksters was a guy called Charles Ross. He was arrested many times and repeatedly ordered by judges to stop creating prank videos on YouTube.

What this person did is one of the most famous pranks of that era. The prankster would fill a clean bottle of bleach or cleaning fluid with water or soft drink and then go to a public place to drink it while filming the reaction of people around the area.

Some other famous pranks include:

Pretending to shoot people.

Pretending to be a prisoner

Pretebding to be a ghost, spirit, zombie or some other scary character

Dressing up dogs to look like lions or tigers.

Pranking people in drive throughs.

Etc.

YouTube recently took action against some of the pranksters by making it difficult for them to make money from their dangerous videos.

The pranking wave has now hit Nigeria. Nigerians are increasingly making these prank videos and a person that goes by the name Crackhead Extra has recently become famous by posting videos that show her going to crowded markets and bus stops and shouting the lyrics of famous songs while acting like a mad person.

This guy was one of the most famous pranksters at the peak of the pranking wave in 2010. His name is Garrett Garcia and the name of his channel is Overboard Humour. He made a lot of money from YouTube back then, but he wasted a lot of it and he was badly hit by the YouTube crackdown (his girlfriend also left him). He is now broke and homeless.

Garrett did the prank in this 2011 video. He went to a supermarket, bought cleaning fluid, switched it with another bottle that he brought from home and then pretended to be drinking the cleaning fluid. (He had already planted the bottle and the camera at that spot before calling the store attendant).

awesome.

How about this?

Yeah, I do. My favourite line was:

You see, I hate when a brother makes a child and then denies it

Thinking that money is the answer so he buys it

A whole bunch of gifts and a lot of presents

It's not the presents, it's your presence and essence
Of being there

Car Talk › Re: Inside NTM's Multi-Billion Automobile Assemble Plant In Kano (Photos) by naptu2: 10:37am On Nov 29, 2020

McTominay:
I can't help but ask, why a private investor opens a manufacturing company and calls it "NATIONAL"
The only vehicle I know from their assembly plant are the trucks Dangote uses to chase us and cause mayhem.

naptu2:
Lets have a little clarity here.

1) The first auto assembly plant in Nigeria was built by General Motors (Bedford) in Lagos in 1959.

2) The Federal Military Government wanted Nigeria to be a producer of automobiles so it went into joint venture businesses with some foreign auto makers and state governments. The foreign auto makers were the technical partners, the state governments provided land and got around 20% shares in the business, while the Federal Government was the majority shareholder.

3) These assembly plants were:

a) Peugeot Automobiles of Nigeria (PAN), Kaduna.

b) Volkswagen of Nigeria (VON), Lagos

c) Anambra Motor Manufacturing Company (ANAMMCO), Enugu (they made Mercedes Benz trucks and buses)

d) National Truck Manufacturing Company (NTM), Kano (they made Fiat trucks and tractors)

e) Leyland Motor Company, Ibadan (they made Leyland trucks and buses)

f) Steyr Motors Nigeria, Bauchi (they made tractors and infantry vehicles for the Nigerian Army).

4) President Obasanjo sold Federal Government shares in these companies.

5) The state governments still have shares in these companies and they have been working hard to ensure that the companies return to full production.

6) Some of the companies that bought the Federal Government shares are not able to run these companies properly and so state governments have been working hard to ensure that other companies take over the plants. For example, Anambra and Enugu state governments have worked hard to ensure that Godwin Okeke (G.U. Okeke) and others take over ANAMMCO, while El Rufai is doing everything possible to ensure that Dangote takes over PAN. Fashola worked hard to ensure that Stallion Motors revived VON and that BRT buses were assembled there.

7) No sane state government would then leave the assembly plant that it has shares in, especially if that assembly plant is producing, to go and buy products from its competitor.

Bros. Naptu2. Remember this sing? I think another title for it should be paranoia schizophrenia.

I can never forget it. The last verse was my favourite. I had both this version and the clean version.

The guitars were very soulful.
