Viewing this topic: nu-well(m), naptu2 Mr Naptu, thanks for opening up the thread. But please, since you seem to have the most insight into Ishi's whereabouts than most, what is she up to? Traffic is diminishing on this very inspiring thread (it seems). |

| Phones / Mtn Disses Etisalat In Its Number Portability TV Commercial by nuwell(m): 8:08am On Apr 23, 2013 |
Hey folks, I saw the new MTN television commercial for the recently activated number portability scheme, for the first time, yesterday and I couldn't suppress a smile at some of the 'interesting' messages in it. Here's a brief of my observations: * Hafiz Oyetoro aka Saka, appears to be the ambassador for this campaign. He was popular with the Etisalat brand and it seemed his loyalty to that brand was unquestionable. In this commercial, he is systematically unveiled as he sings the theme song, with emphasis (to my mind) on 'I don port o... to MTN.' That definitely cracked me up. I'm certain his Etisalat days are over. I doubt we'll be seeing 'Saka' in any other adverts for Etisalat except to demonstrate how number portability enables him to 'dump' MTN 90 days later, due to unsatisfactory services (or contract terms). (hahaha) * Next, judging by the speed with which advert was released, MTN takes the bull by the horns, confident that this scheme is more favourable to them than their competitors. I can't imagine how long they took to woo Mr. Saka for this one. All in all, the TVC is hilarious. Check out the video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUVdnzC19oU. Like someone commented, 'Saka sef don port. Wetin you dey wait for?' lol Did you observe any other or similar nuances? Share. Thanks (c)www.nu-well..com 3 Likes |

Haba! Still no answers? I recommend this question be introduced into WAEC syllabus, in that case. #The Ultimate Test Question |
| Literature / Who Invented The Molue? A Satire by nuwell(m): 3:09pm On Apr 19, 2013 |
I guess the joke's on me now. A few weeks back, I came to the awe-inspiring realization that the big, Mercedes Benz 911-powered commuter buses a.k.a Molue, that were once (and on some routes still are) the 'rave' of the moment on Lagos roads are actually... …*drum roll, fanfare*... ...'Made in Nigeria!' ‘What an astonishing discovery!’ Yeah, I can almost hear you say 'duh' or 'eh hen, wetin come happen?' Its okay. I also sneered at myself. I had always been convinced (I don't know by what, in retrospect) that they were decommissioned German military personnel carriers imported into Nigeria to aid public transportation! Can you beat that? Making a mountain out of a mole hill abi na Molue out of an Okada? Such an assumption must be the consequence of matching an often overactive imagination with more than a passing interest in warfare history, spiced up with a few well-meaning but misconstrued world war movie storylines. That was a mouthful, I'm sure. Anyway, I had even gone online at google.com to certify my suspicions. Of course, the effort was fruitless but not so uneventful. At least, I got offers for some 911 truckheads that looked to be in good condition. (*Rolls eyes*) Well, I was still a tiny bit sceptical when my fruitless search made me contemplate d possibility of what eventually became my 'Revelation of The Truth'. Belated Eureka! I asked (no, more like mentioned my suspicions to) a Senior Citizen who gleefully confirmed SOME of the following facts: Molues were (and still are) in fact, Proudly Nigerian innovations, particularly Lagos, * The power and transmission systems are German developments BUT the chassis, seats, fittings and accessories (I pray o!) are Nigerian, * The electrical systems (or lack of such) are Nigerian customizations of the original German installments, * The passenger capacity of the vehicle is an extraneous variable dependent partially on the installed seating capacity, the desperation of the commuters and the bullying or intimidatory abilities of the bus boys (more often ‘bus men’ or Papas, as I recently observed) which quantity is also a function of the individual's hands-on (bus-on) experience, temperament (the more outspoken, the better), 'communication' skills (the raspier or more aggressive-sounding, the better), sometimes alcohol consumption and retention capacity (for morale boost) etc But I digress now, so back to the subject. I came across posts by a member of an established online social forum on the history of road transport in Lagos and was particularly blessed (It was afterall an answer to prayers) and enlightened by the section on the Molues. However, for all its good intentions, the articles did not reveal who conceived the notion of customizing the Mercedes Benz 911 heavy-duty, flat bed truck into a mass transit machine. I don’t think even its German manufacturers foresaw this potential. So, the question still remains… Who invented the Molue? Is there anyone out there with the answer? (c)www.nu-well..com

'Trouble dey sleep, Iyanga go wake am Na wetin e dey fin... Palaver e dey fin Palaver e go geti o!' Enough said. I really am trying to relate with this Chilo character. Keep firing, Ishi. Perhaps sometime in the future, I will make the connection. I am actually eager to come to an understanding of her compulsions. In the meantime, I'm totally Exasperated and Astounded by what is to me, the explicit 'senselessness' of this Chilo of a girl.  1 Like |

I didn't know HOW strongly I felt about this matter until this point in the story. I don't know why I's so enraged, then disappointed, then just a seethingly resigned. Please, to all the Chilos out there, STOP! being silent about your struggles. Contrary to your assumptions, you cannot handle it unaided. If you can't find a kind, understanding confidante, at least you will make yourself accountable to someone whose derision will be an extra deterrent to indulging a bad habit. A Bad situation can only get Worse... ...unless you take positive action. My heart bleeds, my piece said. God help us all! 1 Like |

Ishi, well done. Thank you for the updates. I already noticed the times around which you usually post updates. Can imagine the effort involved in trying to express fluid creativity through 'frightfully-slow-typing fingers' (Lolz).
