Something fishy. What exactly is going on? Someone predicted that Abubakar Malami would visit the President after seeing the current Attorney General at the Buhari residence in Daura.

Education › Re: Lady Shares Experience With Unilag's New Electric Buses, Reveals Fare Is ₦100 by naptu2: 4:00am On Jan 11, 2025
Electric commercial vehicles are not new in Nigeria. They have been in use for close to 10 years.

There are many individuals and organisations that run various electric vehicle services in the country. One of the most famous is Mustapha Gajibo, who runs electric bus services in Maiduguri.

This fact often leaves some Nigerians who live in the West speechless. They cannot believe that electric vehicle service is possible in Nigeria. This is because the electric vehicle service in the developing world is a bit different from what happens in the West.

1) Solar charging stations: Firstly, most of the charging stations are solar charging stations. They depend primarily on solar panel farms to generate their electricity and they use public power supply (and in some cases, diesel generators) as back up. These individuals and organisations have set up solar charging stations within their domains.

2) Swapping stations: This solves two problems, cost and time.

Some people often say, "Do you know how expensive electric vehicles are! How can you think that they can be cheaper and an alternative to petrol powered vehicles"!

Well, the main thing that makes electric vehicles expensive is the battery. In the developing world, electric vehicles are sold without batteries. The owner will simply go to a swapping/charging station to register. After registration he will be able to rent a battery. Users pay with a card and collect a battery from a charging port. When that battery is weak they simply return to the charging station, pay, put the weak battery into a charging port and another slot opens where they can take a fully charged battery.

This also solves the problem of time. People often complain that it takes a long time to charge an EV battery. Well, the EV owner doesn't have to wait while the battery charges. He simply returns a weak battery and collects a fully charged battery.

3) Roof mounted solar panels:

In the case of commercial buses, these also have roof mounted solar panels to charge a secondary battery that powers things like the lights, horns, etc.

This is not theory, it is not about your thoughts, it has actually been in operation in parts of Nigeria and other African countries for years and it has been successful. Electric bikes are being used by delivery/logistic companies and electric minibuses are being used for public transportation.

Meanwhile, the troops have started rehearsing at the National Remembrance Arcade, Abuja for the 2025 Remembrance Day parade, which will take place on Wednesday, January 15th, 2025.

In Nigeria, Armed Forces Day, also known as Remembrance Day, is celebrated on January 15th. It was formerly marked on the 11th of November every year to coincide with the Remembrance Day (Poppy Day) for the World War II veterans in the British Commonwealth of Nations, but it was changed to January 15th in Nigeria in commemoration of the surrender of Biafran troops to the Federal troops on 15th of January 1970 thus signalling the end of the Nigerian Civil War.

Background info

1) A few years ago the Federal Government implemented a programme to build solar charging stations in Nigerian universities. They started with the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, the University of Lagos and another university (I can't remember for sure, I think it was Ahmadu Bello University).

2) A group of Unilag alumni, called Ogata Global Resources, donated the electric buses early in December 2024.

3) The buses run trips within campus.

What's that?
Just as you wrote, action stars get typecast and, back in the 1980s and 1990s, stars like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenneger were known for blow them up type action movies and they needed to do something different.

So Sylvester Stallone starred in Oscar, a very funny comedy. As Gloriousgbola said, he also acted in Stop Or My Mum Will Shoot , which was an action comedy.

Arnold was the star of Kindergatten Cop , which was also an action comedy (mainly comedy with a little bit of action).

I have watched the entire movie in this trailer. So wetin come remain??

Jason has become the stereotypical action hero, playing the same kind of roles over and over again. I really wish he would play other kinds of roles that can showcase his creative skills like he did in 'Spy'. I was shocked he could actually play a comedic character.
