Politics / Re: Edo 2024 Face-Off: Obaseki Disbands Deputy Gov, Shaibu's Media Team by xjiggy: 10:57am On Aug 29, 2023
Chinjo2:
I just like the way Obaseki is handling Shaibu. Shaibu is trying to play wike in Edo all because of his selfish ambition.
It is Obaseki that gave him all the powers in the first place that is why he is misbehaving.
If I may ask, who was the deputy governor of Rivers State under wike? Them born Odubu to talk when Oshiomholes was governor? Who was the deputy governor of Kaduna State under El-rufai?
It is because of Obaseki has been playing gentleman politics where he sees Shaibu as his partner in the business of governance that's why Shaibu thinks he has arrived.
How many deputy governors in Nigeria took over from their ogas?
You don't become a governor by fighting your Boss but through loyalty. Besides, it's not yet time for the Auchis after Oshiomholes 8 years as governor.
Your statement shows you're an outsider. Shaibu is well known in the political sphere of Edo state. In short, Oshiomhole was his Godfather in politics. Obaseki was the relatively unknown in the equation. Oshiomhole brought both to power only for Shaibu (the Godson) to turn Judas and betray Oshiomhole because of Obaseki (the Ungrateful one). Let them fight. They are both Judas. Below is a pic of Shaibu (Nans President) presenting an award to Oshiomhole (then a Labour leader of textiles in Kaduna)

I love the way Politicians say so much without saying nothing. Nobody asked if he knows his village or have been there. It's just a matter of I did not sponsor the burial but I gave momentary gifts. Shikena

Food / Re: Indomie Generation Doesn't Know The Drink Called Goldspot And Olo by xjiggy: 8:40pm On Aug 27, 2023
Throwback:
Even my siblings and cousins born in the late 1970s ate indomie in the mid 1990s when they were in the university and also at home.

So they all drank Gold Spot, Limca, and Tandi Guarana up to the 1990s just as us who were born in the 1980s.

So if those born in the late 1970s still ate Indomie and Maggi 2-minute Noodles as teenagers in the mid 1990s to qualify as Indomie generation also, what then is the need for these incessant questions over the years about Indomie generation not knowing things that existed in the 1980s or 1990s when those born in the 1970s also qualify as indomie generation as I have proven.
The term indomie Generation refers mostly to those who were weaned on it (ate indomie as toddlers), not necessarily those that ate it. The late 70's kids were weaned on Nasco cornflakes and Cabin biscuits. They only ate indomie as youth and young adults.

TV/Movies / Re: Football Shows That Shown On Nigerian Television In The 1970s, '80s & 1990s by xjiggy: 2:44pm On Aug 26, 2023
Used to watch the Italian show in the 80's. My Dad was a fan of AC milan and Bendel Insurance. First player that intrigued me was Marco van Basten. It was the Rothmans of pallmall football show that endeared me to English football. My favorite players then were David Ginola (for Newcastle and Tottenham) and Dennis Irwin for Man United. It's because of Dennis I started supporting United in 1993.

The killing of twins was eradicated in Calabar where it was prevalent. Most of Nigerian tribe never practiced the killing of twins. Albino is a different matter though

Someone should kindly explain to me why Otti will not decamp to APC or work for Tinubu even if he remains in LP. Politics is not for the soft hearted or for those who are sentimental. Never trust any politician not to talk of fight for them.

People should grow up. Some of you supported Buhari to become President but were against him during his second term because you where not satisfied with his performance. That's life. The position you hold today may change tomorrow. Nothing is static. That being said, if he has something positive to contribute to making the country better, let him take the position. If he refuse the position, someone's else will take it. There are so many good men and vultures waiting for those positions

Cool. Oshiomhole now takes everything that comes to Edo State to Etsako.
When Oshiomole was delivering Edo north senatorial district to APC, the rest of the State was shouting LP. Nobody should reap where they did not sow. This is politics for you.

At least, he is not pretending to be sick.

The charge against him is a foolish charge. I thought they said we was sponsoring terrorists in Afghanistan. Only for them to charge him with illegal gun possesion while they allow Asari Dokubo to hold gun and threaten Igbo people.

DSS is wasting Nigeria money in useless cases that obviously have no merit.
E be like say u no know DSS and EFCC. Dem go get 40 charges against you..... dey bring am small small for court. Dem go charge you with 3, immediately dem bail you or discharge the case, dem go arrest you for outside court on another 3 charges. Na so dem go do am sotey 4yrs go reach. Na their way
Car Talk / Re: Do You Still Drive Your Car With AC? by xjiggy: 9:49pm On Jul 20, 2023
Any person telling you the AC does not increase fuel usage is lying. Your compressor draws power from your alternator, which in turn need power from your engine to run.
.Before you start disparaging me, let me ask a few questions
1. Why do you think the engine power drops, while it's idling, when you put on the AC?
2, why does the ac not work when the isgniton is on but engine off,.

That being said, The use of AC increases the fuel consumption by 8% to 10%. It's more economical though to use AC when going at speed for long distances because opening the windows will cause drag, which will in turn increase fuel consumption. AC is better used forl long distances rather than short distances.

Sports / Re: Lionel Messi Beats Ronaldo’s Record Following His Inter Miami Unveiling by xjiggy: 12:44pm On Jul 18, 2023
All these are lies. Non of them (Cristiano or Messi) really hit those numbers. It's genius marketing from their teams. Both of them lied about the views. If the World cup final which included Messi, had less than 1.2b views, why would the unveiling of any of them hit those numbers? Before You disparage my point, ask yourself..... why would the views of Messi presentation surpass the views of Messi's Argentina vs Mbappe's France world cup final event..... THINK.

The issue here is somehow, someway, somebody manipulated the result. Unfortunately the little girl's image is tarnished. That being said, people coming here to put a tribal twist to everything should stop disturbing us. Whatever problems you Yorubas, hausas and ibos have, go and settle it somewhere else.. We have minority groups here... tivs, nupes, edos, ijaws, kanuris, igbirra, efiks and many more. Allow us to breath here.... if you don't want Thor-level lightning to strike you.

The salary is not enough. It is through these kind of deployment they argument the salary. That man paid for extra security and as far they were officially deployed to him, I don't have any problem with it. It is done in all professions. An auditor makes more when he/she is sent for external audit. A soldier sent on foreign peacekeeping do earn more too. We should stop over criticism.

This is how our so called leaders waste public funds. Instead of demolishing it, why not call a sculptor to work on the imaginary Cross. The image I saw was a Sword but because of religious blindnes, OGA at the top saw a cross. In a state where there are millions of of Christians, what's èven wrong with a cross being on the statue? Why not add the moon and star somewhere to balance the equation?

How can you be intelligent and you cannot learn something as basic as a language?

You are intelligent, init? If you couldn't learn ordinary English language, is it programming or medicine and surgery that you can learn?

For goodness sake, we were taught English language for over 12 years in Nigeria (nursery to university).

Some footballers learnt passable English in a couple of years after taking classes, so nothing justifies not learning English after taking the class for over a decade and you still consider yourself intelligent.

There are nuclear physicists in Japan, China, France.... that cannot speak English. Language is only a tool to communicate and sometimes can be difficult to comprehend if it's not your mother tongue
