Where's 77philosopher come and see o. Look at the planes our pilots are trained with.

Are we operating farmlands that needs to be sprayed with herbicides cuz that's what I see them do with these planes o.

I think we better spend more setting up simulated training centres of modern aircrafts with the hopes that we will acquire some than waste aviation fuel on these.

This is the Beechcraft t6 Texan ii. It is currently being used by the US Air Force and the US Navy for basic training of their pilots.

Turboprop planes are used by armed forces around the world as either basic trainers, light attack planes (to fight insurgencies, eg the Super Tucano), or gunships (eg, the AC130). There are also tiltrotor aircraft like the V-22 Osprey.

The ridiculous comments on this thread remind me of the day that a nairalander complained about the Nigerian Navy's Agusta A109 helicopters (he assumed that all military helicopters are helicopter gunships).

This song was the signature tune of so many shows on radio and tv. It was often played early in the morning on Radio Nigeria (especially on Radio Nigeria 2, the Sunshine Station).

Everybody,
In what you're doing,
A smile will bring a sunshine day

How could I forget this song. It was so popular that many people thought that it was a Nigerian song (I thought so too in the late 1970s and early 1980s). They even included it in the Nigerian section of the musical Kakadu.

We are going,
Heaven knows where we are going,
We know we are.

And we'll get there.
Heaven knows when we will get there.
We know we will

There are quite a few songs that I forgot to include in the list. I'm going to quickly post three of the most popular ones.

Mystiqme:
Hi naptu2. This such a great list! I'm going down the list and I heard of a song by someone called Bola Abimbola: "Silifa Bamijo" apparently a cover of a Michael Jackson song. Do you know anything about it?

It's a very long time ago, but I remember it a bit. I don't think he started it. The truth is that many people did not know what Michael Jackson was singing in Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, so they made up yoruba lyrics to go with the melody.

I'm trying to remember the lyrics, but I think where Michael said "Force don't stop", he said "Fo soke" instead.

The main body that's responsible for judicial reform is the National Assembly.

For the functions of the CJN, see section 236 and the 3rd schedule of the constitution.

It is obvious to anyone with common sense that they were just joking. I find the list quite hilarious and the only people I blame are sensationalist bloggers who blow the most minor things out of proportion

Bloggers must eat. grin

Education › Re: School Fees At Children's International School, Lekki by naptu2: 5:50am On Mar 02, 2017*

Why should i waste my time to educate someone who can't understand simple basic principles after so many months??

Principles like - It's not the government's job to dictate school fees, rather the government's job is to provide free, qualitative education in government schools and it is the people's job to force the government to provide such schools.

Why should I educate someone who doesn't know that there are many schools in the Ikota area (where he claims to live in)? Someone who doesn't know that there are government schools, cheap private schools and expensive private schools in that same area.

Primary schools like Ikota Primary School, Alkitab Nursery And Primary School Ikota, St Mary's School Ikota, Chrisland School VGC, Sureville Montesorri School Ikota, Marblehill School, etc.

Secondary schools like Jesilo High School Ikota, Atmayo High School Ikota, Delphi International School Ikota, Al Akeedat Model College Ikota, Ilasan Secondary School Jakande, Gbara Community School Jakande, etc

Why should I educate someone who is not bright enough to understand what free enterprise and freedom of choice is about?? Someone who doesn't understand that this issue has been decided by the courts. Someone who chooses to believe in a communist utopia.

I've got much better things to do with my time. So please, go and force the school to fix school fees that you are comfortable with (afterall, ranting on Nairaland won't change the school fees). I'm not going to respond again. I've got much better things to do with my time. angry

Comments about Fela not being there. Fela was not one of the founding members of PMAN.

The person that should have been there, but was not in the picture, is Tee Mac. He was one of the founding members of PMAN, but he's not in the picture.

That's Bobby Benson!

Naptu2, your comments are welcome.

This was the original caption of the picture when I first saw it 3 or 4 years ago.

On today's flashback post, we showcase the picture of founding members of Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria on a visit to the then President of Nigeria, Alhaji Shehu Shagari at the State House, Ribadu Road, Lagos. These were the rich crop of pioneer artistes who paved the way for different genre of Nigerian artistes today. Some are dead and some are still alive.

Standing from left to right: Unidentified artiste, Onyeka Onwenu, Christy Essien Igbokwe, Gboyega Adelaja, Sonny Okosuns, Bala Miller, King Sunny Ade, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Bobby Benson, Sir Victor Uwaifo, Kris Okotie, Commander Ebenezer Obey, Nelly Uchendu(?)
Squatting are Dan Maraya Jos, Nico Mbarga, Emma Dorgu and Tony Grey.

lol...I know there are many readers who are unfamiliar with some of these people, especially those born in the nineties. But that does not say they can't be familiar with the likes of Onyeka Owenu, Ebenezer Obey, King Sunny Ade and Kris Okotie who's now the Pastor of Household of God church.
