And my all time Nigerian favorite the hush puppy shoes  

OK, maybe I have been too harsh. Nigerians are a very inventive people and should praised.

Beaf:
@Fhemmmy
Don't bother with someone like Thor who can't even invent a toothpick (even if a manual was provided).
Lets just congratulate the two chap that have done this.

Beef did invent the Nigerian Ipod so he must be congratulated I suppose!

Thor

It is very dishearting that you have the kind of mindset you have baout nigeria and Nigerians.
I pray that you will be alive to lick your vomitus.


Well done to the 2 brothers. More to come guys!

It is people like you that makes me believe my mindset is totally realistic and correct 

Fhemmmy:
OK, they have created something that they could.
You too do something and we will praise you for it.

I have been working behind the scenes for the last 5 years fighting 419 and have been responsible for sending more than 35 people to jail.


If I could invent an electricity generating system I would

Until then I will contine my fight to clean up Nigeria of the mugu Yahoo fraternity!

oge4real:
I believe these men need encouragement, at least they invested their time and energy wisely.Making outright disparaging remarks about the armoured car is a very unpleasant indication of the rate of negativity of some people's thinking. Constructive criticism is a wiser method of correction that can lead to the desired improvement.Rome was not built in a day.

I suggest however, that they should look into improving the type pf tyres used in the car.

From a country that is falling apart at the seams and is in such shit that who knows what will happen in the next few months, the whole nation gets excited that two guys have created a mickey mouse armoured car from cannibalised car and truck parts  

I support whole heartily people who are constructive and make an impact on the quality of life for the ordinary person in the street, but a pretend armoured car?

Come on, lets be sensible  

Fhemmmy:
I dont call people names, cos we are all here to learn and rub minds and to learn from one another.
thanks for calling me names though, however, when that time comes for me to regret my support for the assembly of the Armour, i will be apologetic then, but for now, they have done a good job.

OK I will wait for that day will happy glee

Beaf:
People like you and I started this project. Where did guy's like you and Thor hear it was started by govt?

Go and start your own. Jealous people sef!

One word describe your mentality - NAIVE  

LMAO - The Beef and Flemmmy Show 

When you see in a few months what a scandal will arise from this whole masquerade you will suddenly see how idiotic you really are

Fhemmmy:
Why not wait till it failed.
For the fact that the guys were able to at least design something, it is a great start

What is so clever about welding a steel box onto an existing truck chassis with an existing standard Toyota engine?

The way you all talk you would think that Nigeria has split the atom LMAO

Just goes to prove how many blind idiots there are who have swallowed this whole PR scam hook, line and sinker 

This is a 100%  Yar Adua PDP gimmick 

Rewarding his political backers, every one knows that government has continually ignored local inventors, look what  happened to the Ezekiel Izuogu Nigerian made car?

Suddenly a Nigerian flies back from the US & suddenly an amoured car made in Ekite State & is sitting on Eagle Square & suddenly the president is excited & suddenly the president asks the police to find out the needs of the inventors & suddenly a shit load of money goes into the project & suddenly it is another scandal that people have blindly supported 

Typically Nigerian

Beaf:
Tell me how you can "create reliable power supplies, sanitation, health care, transport and Jobs" without industrial backbone? Are these things going to fall like manna from heaven?

Tell me how you can "create reliable power supplies, sanitation, health care, transport and Jobs" with a third world metal box welded onto the chassis of a truck with a Toyota engine?

LMAO x 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 

The first people that supposedly return from the USA create a product that ultimately will be used against the Nigerian people or in conflicts and wars!

Nothing useful to the citizens, just another repressive product from a corrupt and repressive state 

I will publicly state now and I am sure that within twelve months this will be public that the whole thing is a charade to steal more money by corrupt ministers. What better cover than to invest billions into a Nigerian project, a project that will see the investment pour out as fast as it is made and  into the the pockets of it's supporters and their families!

You people really are blind, putting nationalism before common sense 

How about the further advances in indigenous technology being initiatives to create reliable power supplies, sanitation, health care, transport and Jobs!

The reason I have made jokes regarding this whole news item is because it is a big joke

Afam:
By the way, this is not the first made in Nigeria car.

LMAO

Now that everybody has stopped applauding each other, lets ask a few questions:

How come the first automobile manufacturing  we are seeing from Nigeria is an armoured vehicle?

Is it not harder to manufacture an armoured car than to manufacture a normal car?

How come these guys did not start a Nigerian car line?

Is it not harder to market an affordable armoured vehicle than a new range of affordable Nigerian cars everyone has been clamouring for?

How come we never heard of this prior to now? No documentaries about a new truck manufacturing plant in Ekiti, no news coverage, all of a sudden, Nigeria's indigenous armoured truck premieres at Eagle Square making the headlines?


In reality how is producing an armoured car going to benefit the country or it's citizens?

How about producing some electricity! LMAO 

I believe personally that this project will receive allot of government funding but fail miserably. I personally believe this is a front to steal money and nothing will come of it.

This is a fraud and you are all falling for it

Yar'adua has even had a special customized version manufactured for himself 

There is always some business to be had!

My favourite part of this fantastic design are the high security bonnet straps!

Just think that a terrorist would have a great deal of problem disabling the engine and leaving the people in side a sitting target  

LMAO

I wonder how long those exposed puny wheels would last

American Football is the greatest sport every invented. Honestly, no where on earth does any championship game match the Super Bowl.


Reggie White, Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana, Barry Sanders, Deacon Jones, Jerry Rice and The Whole 1990's Bills squad.   You non-americans are crazy. RUG WHAT? SOC WHAT? F WHAT?

You guys are crazy.

American Football is Rugby and was developed from Rugby. The difference is that the American football players wear crash helmets, mattresses on their backs and the game stops every ten seconds so they can talk about what they are doing 

Pity that 419 is mot a sport as Nigeria would be the World champions 

[quote author=$osisi link=topic=309610.msg4348953#msg4348953 date=1250209876]how did a British man own mines in Kenya?[/quote]Business is global or is it only Kenyan's that can own mines in Kenya?

Is it normal business etiquette to hack people to death?

Stupid question from a typical uneducated person still trying to use colonialism to get off on. Kenya has been Independent for more than 40 years and this guy had spent most of his life there and held Kenyan citizenship as well!

Reasons why certain games are hated by Nigerians 

Rugby is a real mans game 

Cricket is for the intellectual and educated sport fan 

F1 is for people who can drive and have an understanding of the word 'speed'

Golf is for the rich and successful!

Ice Hockey is for people from cold climates and a constant supply of electricity to run ice rinks 

American Football is for homosexuals 

I think that Nigerians should stick to board games like Monopoly

Yes I have seen it, here is the picture below:

A renowned British gem expert has been hacked to death with machetes by a gang of illegal miners who ambushed him in Kenya.

Campbell Bridges, who became world famous for discovering tsavorite, famed as the most perfect of coloured gemstones, was killed after a brutal conclusion to a lengthy feud with squatters who were stealing stones from a mine owned by the Bridges family in Kenya's Tsavo National Park.

The 71-year-old, a legend among geologists, owned a number of mines in the area and was attacked at a makeshift roadblock on Tuesday while he was travelling in the Taita Taveta District with his son Bruce and four Kenyan employees.

Speaking in Nairobi yesterday, 32-year-old Bruce Bridges described a hand-to-hand battle with a mob of more than a dozen men armed with spears, clubs and machetes.

"As we drove towards our mining camp we found huge thorn trees blocking the road," he said. "Eight men with machetes, spears, clubs, knives, bows and arrows appeared shouting 'We're going to kill you all!' Then more people came down the mountain like ants, 20 or 30 of them."

Bruce Bridges was slashed in the neck by a machete as his father struggled with the assailants. "My father was fending off one man with a spear when another ran up and stabbed him," he said.

He eventually fought his way to his father's side and together with their employees was able to load the older man onto their pick-up. But he was pronounced dead at a clinic in the nearby town of Voi. John Ole Shampiro, the commanding officer of the Taita Police Division, said: "According to witnesses, a group of about 20 people , used a knife to stab the deceased.

"We believe, according to our investigations, that his death was a result of a mining dispute involving the deceased and the locals," Mr Shampiro told Reuters.

Police were yesterday scouring Tsavo, Kenya's largest national park which covers a vast area on either side of the main road from Mombasa to Nairobi. The Coastal Province police chief Leo Nyongesa said that authorities were searching for a known suspect but gave no further details.

Tributes were last night pouring in for a man described by fellow gem experts as a legend who had been a director of the International Coloured Gemstone Association (ICA).

Mr Bridges came to prominence after his 1967 discovery of tsavorite, a deep green version of garnet. The Scottish-born adventurer first saw the stone in what was then northern Rhodesia but was unable to collect a sample. "I had never seen a green like it. It was pure in every sense," he said in a recent interview.

He had to wait six years before re-encountering the precious gem, this time in northern Tanzania near Mt Kilimanjaro. However, local export rules prevented him from selling the gem to the prestigious US jeweller Tiffany's and he decided to camp out on the other side of the border in Kenya and search for deposits there.

He is reputed to have built himself a treehouse in Tsavo to protect himself from the park's legendary man-eating lions and other predators.

He was also supposed to have stationed a python in his stash of tsavorite stones to deter any potential thieves who came near it.

Pavel Sokolov, the ICA's representative to Russia, led industry tributes for the murdered geologist.

"He was a king for us. He was a legend among gemmologists and geologists," Mr Sokolov, the head of a leading Russian gemstone company, told Reuters. "He was very famous among gemmologists. The jewellery market is not so open, but he was open with everybody."

Mr Bridges also pioneered the deep-blue gemstone tanzanite on the international jewellery market.

A British Foreign Office spokeswoman in London confirmed that Mr Bridges had died on Tuesday from injuries sustained in an attack.

"As his immediate next of kin is American, the US officials are providing consular assistance. We are in close contact with them and offering our full support," she said.

Robert Nicoletti, a close friends of Mr Bridges and his family, said: "Campbell Bridges was a great man and he will be forever missed. His son Bruce, one of my best friends, closely follows in his father's steps. This tragic event was unnecessary and an act of evil that is unfathomable."

I'm a Nigerian and I have no qualms with the poster. We Nigerians are very stupid people!

We allow zombies to rule us, rig our elections and divide us and then complain like infants about how they steal all the money, but go on to praise the fools that commit all the crimes and embezzle all the money to enrich themselves.

What is stopping Nigerians from rising up and dealing with the criminals destroying our lives? how many are they? Pata pata 10,000 government-connected thieves. Can they stand 10 million angry youths driven by a common goal?

We are so STUPID that one fool will say "Aburo, why you dey join awon omo Ibo dey go fight wetin no concern you?" or another will say "Nwa ada, why you dey disturb ya self with nbgati nbgati Yoruba people dey fight mallams?", then all of a sudden, the ethnic animal in each of us comes out and all reason is discarded! The zombies in power will then laugh and continue to rubbish all of us.

Nigerians are indeed very stupid people - 100% in agreement with that statement!

I am in 100% total agreement with you!

My Lucifer, I thank you for another day and the gift of life
Thank you Satan

OK, It's not over yet

I think this was one of the greatest performances of all time by Stevie Wonder at MJ's memorial

Stevie Wonder performed a song called “Never Dreamed You’d Leave in Summer”. This is a 1971 song by Stevie Wonder. It comes from his album Where I’m Coming From.

Very moving indeed
