I agree with Ajadudu. Is the man a very good panelbeater? Yes. Is a genius? No. I once saw a 4 door Beetle in Lagos many many years ago. Jelani Aliyu was not GM's chief designer, he was a senior creative program designer and had some major contribution to the development of the Chevy Volt. Is this a big accomplishment by Mr Aliyu? Yes but Nigerians like to overstate things and make greater than they are. It was once discussed on Nairaland, other Nigerian forums and even Nigerian national newspapers that a Nigerian had found the cure to cancer and his work was not being recognised becuse he is a Nigerian. What rubbish! Cancer kills millions of people every year in the world and the relevant authorities in the western world where cancer is a scourge wouldnt give a rats ass if a pig found the cure to cancer, they,ll embrace it instantly.

Did any one else see David Cameron on his way to the see the Queen before becoming PM? On his way to the palace, it was a 2 car convoy and they had to wait patiently in London traffic, no sirens, no dangerous driving , no jumping red lights , no intimidating other road users. On his way back from the palace, he had 3 cars (+ MI6 Range Rover) in the convoy. Again no jumping red lights (they did jump one infront of the palace), no sirens, no dangerous driving, no intimidating other road users. This is is the convoy of one of the most powerful men in the world. One of the reasons I love the UK.
The man will simply be addressed as Prime Minister David Cameron MP. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown will simply be addresed as Gordon Brown MP from now and life goes back to the way it was before he became Prime Minister (He,ll get 2 policemen to protect him)

Fool! Authorization for artisitic expression? ode!

Na my area be this now! Right in front of 170 Heathway, Dagenham, Essex. Once I saw the guys getting off the bus I don know say na my endz. Naija boyz yab!

Thats me just back from dropping my seed off in nursery, On my way back, sun's out so put my shades on, windows down, music up and had Da Grins verse on Owo ati swaggar on loop.

Got home and got my breakfast, logged on to Nairaland and this ill news! Just lost my appetitie.

Accidents do happen but this one ddint have to happen. Like I said in an earlier thread about Da Grin's accident, I have a sister who still bears the scars  and a roommate who was killed in similar accidents. My roomate stood no chance. The 18 wheeler's truck head had ben taken away and the trailer was left there on the road bottoms up! my roomate stood no chance. I just hope he felt no pain. My sis had a bit of 'luck', her collision was with a molue. We only know about this becuase it has claimed the life of a promising talent. Nigeria is a failed state and someone else will probably get killed today by a truck left on one of our network of roads.

Da Grin RIP. You were one of the very few (less than 5) artistes that I gave props to.

Sagamite the boat is sinking!

Jump!

Kazakhstan: Borat is a Work of fiction

Papau New Guinea: Just like Nigeria

Middle East: Yet the same BBC and others show us oases in the desert like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain e.t.c

Why does Nigeria's image depend on the BBC? Tell your NTA director general or whatever he is called to get his act together. The rubbish channel they had on sky was so below standard and it eventually went off air after the top dogs over at NTA chopped the sky subscription money

@ ujuojan

Do you know what happened when the BBC called the US, United States of Murder? Nada, nothing!

@ kobojunkie

I saw one about Canada just before the winter Olympics that refered to Calgary as the homless capital of the world. I cant remeber which channel it was but if definitely wasnt NTA!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/153988.stm

An old article in which the BBC depicts the US as the United States of Murder. So what is all this nonsense about BBC having an agenda agianst Africa? The BBC world service has dedictaed channels for news from Africa. The BBC even helped your country confirm that your president was alive. If not for that clip on the BBC hausa service only God knows what would have happened. The BBC is an independednt establishment and can broadcast what ever it likes as long as it is true information. It is not in the business of image laundering. CNN must have received millions of dollars for the Heart of Africa campaing it ran on behalf of the Nigeria government.

Busy Body

Your mother is the ignoramus

Spin it as you like but it is a known fact that the odd person you may see eating from bins on the streets of a town or city in the UK is a drug addict whose decision to take drugs is a personal one. Drugs are very expensive and your attempt to spin it the other way round that homeless people who find themselves broke and on the streets, turn to drugs and end up eating from bins is very far from the truth. It costs less to stay in a hostel per day than to get a daily drug fix.

Yes he is dumb. Just because you met him and think he is smart doesn’t necessarily mean he is smart. After all they say; in a country of blind men the one eyed man is king.

If he was a proper diplomat and as smart as you claim he will know there are some things a diplomat doesn’t say. While I am not against him trying to defend your country, his trying to draw comparisons between people eating from bins in London and Lagos was dumb!

Your dumb ambassador to the UK declared 'It is not unusual to see people (not Nigerians) in London eating from dustbins'. Your dumb illiterate ambassador should be able to differentiate between normal hard working men and women scavenging in Olusosun not through choice but as a result of the hopless situation they are in and your drug addict fiend, who through personal choice picks food from dustbins in London. I will like this dumb ambassador to tell me where in London or the UK you can find what obtains in Olusosun and I,ll personally go there and film a documentary for NTA to broadcast.

Nigeria is a joke! 36000 out of 40000 are awaiting trial and these governors think executing 300 condemned prisoners will decongest the prisons? While I support the death penalty in cases of murder I wont be suprised if half of these condemned prisoners are innocent.

too many

@ superboi

Do you know what brought down the US Airways plane on the Hudson? A bird strike.

Bird strikes are dangerous and thats that!

@ Kobikwelu

I stopped going on the Arsenal thread on matchdays becuase the only 'fans' on there are the type you described. You are one of the very few sensible people on Nairaland who see things at Arsenal objectively. Thanks for your input.

Dummies, Like anyone at Arsenal has the balls to sack Arsene. You are all wasting your time here when they are begging the man behind closed doors to extend his contract.

@ Panafrican

What are you on about? abi them mix diesel inside your igbo? African Union should get involved because a British citizen of Nigeian extraction got shot be another black person in London? Damn!

Black on Black crime,

I believe I can see some Hebrew text in the powerpoint slides. This is just propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran. If it isnt why is that these heartless child killers were so kind to put some padding under the boys arm? I would have thought it would be more painful if his hand was left in direct contact with the road. Anyone that believes this is a dummy.

spot on!

Makes a lot of sense but will it happen in that stink hole? I wont bet on it

Phuck Naija!

These guys remind me of my dads former driver. He lived in Ajegunle in one room with his wife and 4 kids. He had to be at my house by 0600 which meant he woke up at 0400 (Enough times when he entered one chance buses). He brought my dad back home at about 2200 which meant he got back to his house at aroun 2330. He did the same thing Monday to Saturday for over 20 years.

When I was younger I didnt understand but now as an adult I wouldnt want even my worst enemy to live like that. Naija is very unfair.

Phuck Naija!

Da grin , U go wake up from this one self!

If that is really his car, I hope my man was wearing his seat belt otherwise,

@ VPG

You can only feel what I feel if you were in my shoes. Do you know how it feels to lose a friend to an accident that should never have happened? Seeing your beautiful sister witha a scar she got from an accident that should never have happened? Bruv, you will have to walk a mile in my shoes to understand where I am coming from. Naija show me!

Same thing happened to my sis. She was in a car that ran into a staionary molue in Iganmu. Thank God for her life but she still has the scars from the accident. Then I lost my roommate from Uni when he ran into a staionary 18 wheeler in Ketu. I hate almost everything associated with Naija but I dey feel Da Grin well well even though I don old finish. I hope say the guy recover and blows up just like Kanyeezy did after the crash!

Phuck Naija!
