Vasaratti16: #5: Grand Theft Auto IV
https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2015/10/37BPFT8E-600x400.jpg
Controversial, yes, as GTA IV is by no means a bad game - it's just a bad Grand Theft Auto game.
And when we're talking about titles that completely failed at living up to their respective hype or those that attempted a new direction and failed, Rockstar's pivot away from the characterful likes of Vice City and San Andreas into this maudlin, washed out, 'serious' tonality has been seen as the outlier ever since, especially when looking at the franchise as a whole.
When you consider that Rockstar were clearly having their 'rebellious phase' throughout the original trilogy and its experimental mission designs (Love Machine weaponry and Area 69 stealth sections, anyone?), they designed GTA IV through marketing, story and character to be a new direction for GTA as a franchise, leaving the 'childish' stuff to Saints Row.
As time has shown, that approach didn't connect, leaving the company to go back to the drawing board and design GTA V as one big apology to everything they attempted five years prior, restoring the 'wackiness' through both Michael's family and Trevor's... well, everything.
To that end, why do you think Trevor so adversely and brutally stomped the life out of GTA IV's Johnny Klebitz? That's not true bro. Your analysis can at best be described as faulty. GTA IV is way better than GTA V. BTW, GTA IV is one of the best games rockstar have produced. |

Bukalisman: Brother, please don't say what you don't know anything about. There are so many things that do not meet the eyes in this case. Mark my words (you can quote me anywhere), nobody under JOHESU has ever asked for the same salary with medical doctors. This is all propaganda being peddled by doctors to discredit johesu's demands. If I may ask, do you know that security men and clerical staff are all under JOHESU? Do you believe that they will all be clamoring for the same salary with medical doctors? The problem in the health sector is very complex, and were all orchestrated by medical doctors themselves. Ab initio, doctors have always earned higher than other health workers, and nobody is complaining about that. One of the problems in health sector is that doctors want to control and stiffle the salaries of other health workers. Let me give you a little insight. Doctors spend 6 years in the University while other health professionals like pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Med Lab scientists Radiographers, etc spend 5 years. Ideally, in civil service, a year corresponds to one step but the entry point of doctors was one level (which corresponded to three years) above others in CONHESS. Even at that, nobody complained. Doctors eventually opted out of CONHESS into CONMESS which even made the difference between their salaries and those of other health workers bigger. Even at that, nobody still complained. Problem entered the health sector when doctors started pressuring government to even water down down the CONHESS because they were no more into it. They refused properly promoting other health professionals that were due for promotion. JOHESU dragged them to court and subsequently won them. However, they threatened govt with strike if at they implemented the court ruling. Govt even eventually promised upgrading of CONHESS but the doctors still opposed it even though the salary structure in CONMESS is still very much more robust and higher than that of CONHESS. Because doctors are more connected (they are usually the minister of Health and heads of all the units in the ministry of health), they always flout any directive from the govt that is always in favour of JOHESU members. Being a lawless country, Federal govt always treat them with kids glove. The doctors didn't stop there. They have tried to Lord over all the departments in health sector even the ones they have less competence in. Imagine a medical doctor being a head of department in each of pharmacy, medical lab and Radiography Departments. An experienced (with many years of experience) pharmacist, Radiography and medical lab scientist will be answerable to a mere house officer of less than a year experience just because he is a medical doctor. Mind you, some of these other health professionals lectured and trained these doctors during their University days, and therefore are head and shoulders more competent than them in their respective fields. Brother, it's only a tree that hears that it will be cut down and stays put. Any human that is threatened with death is supposed to react. This is just a tip of the iceberg of what is happening in the health sector. Please don't say what you don't know. Thanks Very funny, your write-up clearly shows you are either ignorant of happenings or you are just mischievous. Either way, that's not good enough. Firstly, there are no doctors, in pharmacy dept let alone heading that department. There is no such thing as Radiography department. What we have is a radiology dept which is rightly headed by a radiologist. To minimise your ignorance, there is no country in the world where a radiology dept is headed by a radiographer when there is a Radiologist around. There is a reason for that, radiographers are more like technologist, the operate the machines while the radiologist carry out interventional procedures and also report images while also supervising the radiographer. You mentioned Nigeria as a lawless country and I agree with you. That's probably why JOHESU will have the nerve to demand for pay parity with doctors as confirmed by the Ministry of Health and the audacity to hope they can arm twist the government to submit to their phoney demands. The problem here is inferiority complex on JOHESU's part and hopefully, the No work No Pay policy will format their brains. |

TV/Movies › Re: BBNaija: CeeC "Tobi Bakre Is 29 Years Old, He Told Me That" by Spuggie: 4:34pm On Apr 18, 2018 |
uche87: There is a possibility that Big Brother Naija housemate, Tobi was strangely born 'two times' as he claims to be 23 years old as well as being 29 years old according to scanty details revealed by his former strategic and romance partner Cee-C.
The toxic relationship between Cee-C and Tobi has continued today with the latter going on full attack on the University of Lagos graduate. Cee-C vehemently criticized Tobi for serially gossiping about her with other housemates. She claims that Tobi isn't man enough and has been hovering around Alex, Anto as well as her in a bid to date one of them. The controversial Cee-C accused Tobi of conspiring against her, gossiping about her, defaming her within the house, putting her up for eviction as well as making other frantic but futile effort to eject her from the reality show which promises a N45 million prize money. During the dramatic session which lasted for about 40 minutes during which Tobi hardly uttered a sentence, Cee-C alleged that Tobi told her that he is 29 years old. It would be recalled that Tobi's official age is 23 and this has raised the eyebrows of viewers considering the physical appearance and behavioural tendencies of the former employee of Heritage Bank Plc. Tobi once revealed that he graduated from school at 18 and joined the bank in 2014 as a 19-year old.
