CultureRe: Growing Up As A 1970s/80s Kid In Nigeria - Was It Actually Better? by samnaija: 3:53pm On Apr 25
To me time appear to move at a very slow pace, than what you have today.

I remember the lengthy time we spend in school, then get home wait for the television stations to begin, that endless waiting is always ended with drums of the national anthem by 4pm signaling television is about to start. After the announcer gives a rundown of things to come we get glued to the tv. Along the way tv suddenly is not with volume or has lost color, you give it a good slap at back the tv will reset. Tv then were rugged.

We were based in Lagos then, so every 4pm different channels were available, and you also re cieve stations from other states.

But the best stations showing in Lagos was channel 5, ltv8, channel 10. But the cable TV of that era belong to a station in Ogun state. I think ogbc. This station was way ahead of all stations in nigeria, the kind of movies and entertainment was top notch.

They showed very recent movies, they were ahead of their time, I remember watching a movie with my elder siblings all of a sudden it became very breezy has in serious rain was coming.
Na so we lose signal for ogbc, see everyone face Oya smally go and adjust the antenna on the roof, I was made to go and adjust the antenna, I managed to climb the roof and started adjusting the antenna back then you will shout from the roof how far is it ok, my siblings will respond then more to the left or right. Take it back a bit, you missed it, it's not clear again. Start from the beginning. If you get a clear signal, you together the antenna are free from verbal abuse.
IslamRe: Black Man Receives Massive Racist Abuse For Marrying An Arab Woman by samnaija: 11:13am On Mar 24
IgOga:
Arab is a tribe not a religion. All Arabs are not muslims. Don't blame the religion for discrimination. In Europe many people detests inter-ethnic marriage too

Even within Nigeria, inter tribal marriage is not acceptable in some families and communities
The man himself said it is islam, your are turning it to tribe

CodeTemplar:
there is something called bulk room.
Also Current account
So I can stroll into the bank, head to the bulk room and withdraw 10m . That's not possible unless you have bank connections, that will still lead to the banks giving information to the robbers.
PoliticsRe: Daylight Robbery In Minna, Victim Fights Back (Victims) by samnaija: 2:24pm On Mar 07
How come the man going around with 10m. In nigeria of today banks won't even give you 20k . The bankers are involved.

But how true is this? Any documented backups? Or just the normal Nigerian style mouth to mouth tales?
What other documented backups, the estate is called after dolphins for the very reason the pass along the estate. I remember last year I was on the express along dolphin estate, people were parking their cars to look at the the dolphins passing by..

princeade86:
By now, we shouldn't be celebrating roads or light. We should be dealing with technology and innovation by now
So who will provide the technology and innovation., is it the government or the people.

The last time I checked in America the government provides the necessary ammenties , and the people flourish with technology and innovation.
Is Elon musk, a government body, bill gates these a private citizen.

So what you typed hold no sway, the government provides the basic ammenties, then the people build from there. But in nigeria the basic ammenties like road or electricity take forever to be completed. So no Elon musk amongst us.

Lagos GDP alone is higher than the entire Morocco. Yet you're seeing Morocco as a wealthy nation.

Just imagine how Nigeria would have been if we didn't have criminals and looters as our leaders. We would have ruled Africa.
Lagos GDP is higher , what about only Lagos population being higher than the entire Morocco.
This is a state only.

They have taken democracy there! Same Libya and Iraq playbook!

Instigate unrest, then bring democracy with soldiers!

I still wonder why they have not taken democracy to Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and UAE. Do we say they don’t need democracy in those countries?

We all know why…..

You only a dictator when you not a western puppet!
Because all the the country you quoted are not hungry, how I wish people like you are sent to Iran so that you can feel their freedom.

But no people like you que at us, UK embassy, never Iran that you believe you have them figured out.

TravelRe: Brave Biker Rescues Ambulance Stuck In Lagos Traffic (Video) by samnaija: 7:00pm On Dec 25, 2025
[quote author=ZaddyJ post=137905639]Crazy scene ! In the USA all the vehicles on the road must pull over and depart for the ambulance to move for an emergency.
Fire service truck, police van and ambulance are only vehicles you must stop for even if the traffics turn green for you to move , they will move before you.

But in this part of the world bus drivers and car owners will be dragging the road for emergency vehicles but when a siren carrying ordinary local
government chairman is passing they will clear the road for koboko wielding police or soldiers. [/
You lie, Nigerians generally clear for ambulance.

You think Burkina will fight alone,Russia and other Anti-west countries will back them up and Nigeria will be on the loosing side because the military will be stretched thin, Nigerians know very liitle about war, moreover Nigeria is not capable of fighting wars at the moment because a lot of our corrupt politicians will see it as an avenue to get rich.
So how did Russia back Iran, when Israel was flogging them.

Russia has their own problem with Ukrainian. Na Burkina Faso come be hot bread. Any country relying on Russia get ready to eat better breakfast.

This same Bishop Kukah who testified before the US congress claiming there was genocide barely 4 years ago? He should tender an unreserved apology to Elrufai and Buhari both of whom his likes spent years soiling their names. It is now clear that it was all about compensation, appointments and political patronage. The only thing that has changed between then and now, is that Tinubu is willing to succumb to their blackmail by offering them appointments and placing them on payroll.
Kukah has collected position from tinubu, why won't he change tune.

Police cannot arrest army. There are procedures, the army have their own police, that arrest the army office. After a court martial, to dismiss the officer from the force, then the police can arrest him.

Bi facial panels give better results in solar farms. In the sense on the ground with varying degrees of elevation.
It can be beneficial more when used has a car port, has both sides will benefit from the sun.

For roof tops using bifacial panels has some disadvantages , the the degree of the inclination that you can safely do on the ground while repeating such is high risk . Wind could easily carry away your panels on the roof.
