Politics / Re: Channels TV Accused Of Editing Video Of Interview With Femi Adesina by Lyoncrescent: 1:18pm On Nov 27, 2018
Just saw the video and truly that part was edited out 5.30 into the video. This is sad and tragic. The Nigerian media is just not professional enough. Shout out to premium times and a few others . Soldiers died and for days no news paper could carry the news. If not for foreign media and premium times . Femi adesina lied on national television and channels tv that has won best station 12 years in a row edited the interview to protect the government in power. Media is supposed to tell it like it is and let the masses make up their mind . This is like a repeat of the military era just that this media of this era are being bought. Tragic.if you want to be absolutely sure of the edit, the display time at the bottom right of the video jumps from 20.45 to 20.47 in a matter of seconds when you get to 5.30 of the video. That's 2 minutes edited out. Maybe it was for advert grin

TVC also known as Tinubus Vision Continental is the worst. Used to watch their journalist hangout program but on one occasion where they clearly refused to criticize tinubu and ambode for lack of transparency in procurement of projects in a topic they were discussing, I just gave up on them. It's Normal to take sides Afterall fox loves Trump and CNN hates Trump but even when Trump withdrew the white house pass of that CNN reporter, fox supported and stood by the CNN reporter. Even fox won't edit like this to protect Trump. It's unethical. Which way Nigeria.

Maybe bolanle the oga of terrakulture allowed him to use the place for a fee but maybe the event organisers are not the in house terrakulture staff cos terrakulture is actually a very professional and on time place even for their stage plays.

Education / Re: Government Day Secondary School Daura Photos By Abiodun @felewire by Lyoncrescent: 8:00am On Nov 22, 2018
Many public schools both primary and secondary across the country look like this also with teachers who are underpaid/owed salaries with also very little teaching materials. Guess what ? All that doesn't matter as the able federal government of Nigeria is feeding 9.3 million children attending such schools on a daily basis. Tragedy of Nigeria.
Education / Re: Facts About Nigeria's "Poor" Education System That Will Make You Agree With ASUU by Lyoncrescent: 2:52pm On Nov 21, 2018
The truth is this. Education is made up of three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary and of the three the worst is the public primary schools then the public secondary schools. It's amazing that even ASUU staff cannot send their children to public primary schools but can send their children to public universities. That's an inverted system. The government should intervene and properly fund the primary and secondary school system first . In Lagos , no one in the middle class or even lower class can send their children to public primary schools cos of the rot. Even most federal government colleges are living on past glory. Imagine in an ideal situation where I give birth to two children and I don't have to pay a Kobo in school fees from primary to secondary because the public schools are quality and standard compared to the current situation where I pay 300 thousand naira per year in a private primary school cos the public ones are rubbish only for the child to get to Unilag and be paying 30 thousand per year . Government should first of all fund heavily the primary and secondary before ASUU even says a word . Any parent that doesn't pay school fees for 12 years of primary and secondary school due to high quality of the public schools can be made to pay a premium for tertiary education not the other way around. I don't know any country in the world where public tertiary education is given a higher priority than quality public primary and secondary education. Every child needs primary and secondary to succeed. You don't necessarily need tertiary education especially University education to succeed in life .

Politics / Re: Olawepo Hashim Explained Why CBN Has Failed To Grow Nigeria’s Economy by Lyoncrescent: 3:59pm On Nov 13, 2018
’You cannot be a central bank governor that is beholding to the interest of money lender almost in the past 20 years and the bankers and money lender have been controlling the central bank and the central bank has been ordered along their interests rather than along the mandate of building a solid productive economy and creating employment’’.

That's the summary,the current CBN boss is Jim ovias boy and came from Zenith bank. Sanusi before him also came from first bank to head CBN. His argument is these guys protect the interests of the banks rather than the entire population at large. I don't think soludo became CBN Governor from any bank though but he was able to do the consolidation. Sanusi did some witch hunting on intercontinental bank as CBN oga. All in all, he's saying CBN governors we've had in recent years are agents of the banks and doing the banks interests.henry boyo;a popular economist has explained severally how CBN could do better at the expense of the banks to the benefit of the larger populace but no way .

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: EPL: Guardiola Reveals Why Man City Defeated Man United by Lyoncrescent: 7:13am On Nov 12, 2018
vosquare:
Man utd lacked quality. Man utd didn't buy players required by the coach rather he was sticked to developing those he has compared to city which won't develop most but buy another. When you look at juve and city, you will know man utd have a long way to go. In juve, each position have at least 2 players for a spot.. Look at man u, no right wing, no right back very bad. Man u conceded 28 goals in a whole season last year, now they have conceded 21 goals in about 11 to 12 games, now see the reason the coach was after centre back? man u were 19 points behind city and what did the board buy? A young rb, a center mid and a keeper.. Smh

I won't still blame United misfortune on Mourinho, rather the board because he was screaming defenders during pre season but didn't get him one... The board said defenders United have currently is beta than his targets.. Like smalling is beta than Alderweireld...kai. Man u have a long way way way to go.. A team without sport director is failure in disguise.. They don't need to cheat like man city tho but that team a lot of investments

Here's the thing, even if united had bought Harry Maguire from Leicester for 75 million pounds, it won't still solve the problem m united for one are not playing entertaining football. The other top six sides are playing football that is sweet to watch. Secondly this same Mourinho bought Baily and Lindelof and both have been below par. Bought Dalot but he's playing young as right back. What happens if or when Luke Shaw gets injured again. He hasn't gotten the best out of Lukaku and Sanchez. And Matic is not the player he used to be. Don't know what's going on with Fred. Pogba is still a boss though. It's not that the players are bad or that Smalling is bad. That's how some fans were blasting martial last season. How I wish Arsenal bought him. Even David Luiz was said to be bad under conte and now he's playing almost every match. The board has a blame of at most 30 percent but with the resources Manchester United has there's know way They should be conceeding goals anyhow

From the first to the 14th position on the league, Manchester United has conceeded the most goals. Even Newcastle , West ham , Brighton and crystal palace have conceeded less than united. There's a deeper issue. Unless you are saying Newcastle and crystal palace have better defence than united

Celebrities / Re: Business Consultant Calls Out Banky W Over Political Declaration by Lyoncrescent: 12:16am On Nov 12, 2018

Alhamdulillah
I have been justified.
Banky is conniving with INEC and APC to split votes. Many of such traitors of democracy will rise. But we shall fish them out.

The only manifesto the fool has is to use his celebrity status to sway emotions by lying he was poor.
Does he think we are Adesua who he told he had cancer when it was only a boil just to make her marry him out of pity?

How can a Judas who convened the 67 million initiative to hoodwink young voters and use their data to hack election results in favour of Buhari now want to lead?

A backstabber who championed the protest over the removal of subsidy under GEJ's administration but has remained unnaturally mute about it now. Not even a complaint from him.

We know he really wants to change his 99 model Range Rover,
We know he wants to really own that house or maybe he wants to use politics as an excuse for not meeting up with his bedroom chores.

A mumu that cannot transform the shape of his wife's womb wants to transform the lives of Eti-Osa natives. Charity they say begins at home.

I will never vote nor support a liar who calls himself Mr. Capable when he reeks of myriads of incapabilities.
Banky W is a scam and if you don't know this yet, your education is a waste.


Every paragraph is laced with heavy insults. Mr capable reeks of myriads of incapabilities. Lol. But Biko leave his wife out of this. Insulting and hilarious at the same time. It was cancer O not boil and adesuwa didn't marry him out of pity. Very funny but you made some valid points

Wow, thanks for the feedback. I dont mind buying premium parts for maintenance, they last longer than knockoffs anyway. And I think Ive gotten a good place to go for maintenance and repairs that wont charge me briscoe and Coscharis money

Please can you share the details of the good place you have gotten if you can . Thanks
Car Talk / Re: Ford Explorer Owners: Please Share Your Experience! I'm About To Buy One. by Lyoncrescent: 5:31pm On Oct 27, 2018
Shaderkul:
Hello All,
I'll make this brief. I'm in the market for a new car and I'm considering a 2012 Ford Explorer XTL. All my friends and my mechanic are trying to discourage me from buying it, saying its a problematic car and truly, the little research I've done online is not looking good for it, with issues leading to recalls and the likes.

So, I want to know directly from the source:
- What is it like to own a Ford Explorer in Nigeria in terms of maintenance
- Is it prone to issues? What issues does it usually have and how much did it take to fix?
- Are parts readily available and where at what cost?
- What are the things i need to know before taking the plunge?
- Any tips and tricks?

Thank you all!

I cant speak for ford explorer but my experience with my Ford edge can help you. I used a Ford Edge 2009 for a period of three years. Bought it tokunbo and it came with two keys full option. The maintenance is a little bit high because the parts are quite expensive and you have to use motocraft oil for the servicing .Parts are avalaible

However, the biggest challenge i had with the car was the mechanics i was exposed to. Good mechanics that repair ford are very rare. If you take your car to coscharis or briscoe, they will charge you high. even the independent mechanics avalaible were trained by these companies. If your ford has a fault on the road, other mechanics in most cases will avoid it. Even one popular ford mechanic on nairaland enjoyed eating my money and still doing shakara because good ford mechanics are rare. There was a hillarious case where i met one mechanic who i was introduced to that repairs ford. Went to see him only for him to say he has stop repairing ford because an explorer he tried to repair kept giving problems and the owner a strict woman got him arrested.

In summary, using a ford is classy but you must be ready for premium maintenance as in most cases u must buy OEM spare parts not the knock offs. Secondly, you must pray to find a good ford mechanic. I currently use a toyota as mechanics for toyota are every where and parts are cheaper. From Brake pads to shock absorbers to brake discs to motocraft oil, all is premium parts and a mechanic who has both the technical skills and the fear of GOD. Compared to toyota mechanics, technical skills isnt an issue but fear of GOD on the part of mechanics is. Enventually sold my FORD Edge. If you can find a great mechanic and can afford premium maintenance then carry go.

Final Recommendation: DONT BUY A FORD PRODUCT

Education / Re: 161 students bag first class from Nigerian Law School — highest ever by Lyoncrescent: 10:54am On Oct 27, 2018
Kudos to all of them. It would have been nice to know the proportion of first class per number of each institution. If Afe Babalola University can produce 12 First class out of maybe 30 products, thats a higher percentage than the 12 first class of another school that may have over 60 products in LAW school.

All in All, For those always saying private universities are advanced secondary schools, i hope you can see. I have always maintained that education is meant to be relevant not difficult. The fact that some people got educated under dire and difficult conditions in public universities doesnt necessarily mean their education is better. The LAW school and other professional certifications such as ICAN and ACCA have shown that every university has its own excellent students and discrimination against private universities should stop.All this first class in a private university is same as a second class lower/upper in a public university talk is all bollocks. If you are smart , you are smart regardless of your institution.

Kudos to ABUAD though; a nine year old university having Same first class numbers as great IFE and Ibadan. Babcock has more first class than the Great ABU. LASU law is still King. UNILAG can never fall hand.

Mourinho is a legend but the issue I feel most of us have with him is the lack of squad harmony and the ugly defensive football he plays. Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal,spurs and Manchester City all play sweet football. Can't figure out why Manchester United cannot do the same. Secondly Mourinho has had issues with a lot of his players and often calls them out publicly. Mourinho didn't need to buy Sanchez but he did for reasons best known to him. Mourinho has had three years.

Chaos. Buhari our president has to do something about this. Is it that our president doesn't listen to news or his advisers don't often brief him. This Usman case is getting out of hand. We need the president to intervene in this matter as the allegations against Usman are grave . This is not a joking matter. I dare say though that what Usman is doing is common among heads of agencies in Nigeria. The thing probably affecting Usman is that he's eating alone. From customs to nnpc to NCAA to firs, there's massive corruption and abuse of powers.

If Buhari wants to fix corruption to an extent he needs to fix the procurement process and institute the procurement council so that the fec can stop awarding contracts. The easiest way to steal money in government at all levels is through abuse of the procurement process. Buhari should look beyond being Mr integrity and be innovative in his fight against corruption. Integrity of the president won't end corruption. The TSA implementation was a good place to start but it you read the allegations against Usman you will know the procurement process in government has been soiled and it happens in all government agencies

Between 2011 and 2015, Buhari even with his limitations was still a critic of PDP. With the exception of running for PDP chairmanship,I've not heard anything from Jimi till this very moment that he's decided to contest again. I wish he has been vibrant all the way since 2015 in contributing to the issues average lagosians face. I wish him the best. How I wish he was vibrant since 2015. It would have been easy to send the tinubu Cabal packing. It's still possible but a little hard.

READ MA LIPS;


Lagos Is A NO MAN'S LAND



Will tell you like I told two people yesterday on this forum:
The thing is my mum is from Lagos. Lagos Island to be precise. She can trace four generations back to her family house in Lagos Island. The history of Lagos from the period of the aworis showed that yorubas dominated the landscape prior to the Oba of Benin expedition. Every Oba of Lagos has been yoruba. Historically, yorubas have been the dominant tribe in Lagos even before Nigeria became a Nation.

Saying that Lagos is a melting point for everyone is acceptable. After all it is the commercial capital of Nigeria and so many tribes have lived their entire life here which is why its a melting point. London is another classic example as the curent Mayor of London is of Pakistani Origin. Look at the way Nigerians are moving to Canada for better opportunities in droves. Canada is also becoming a melting point.

I cant imagine the Mayor of London now saying simply because he is of pakistani origin, London is now a no mans land. Or, the millions of Nigerians and Africans who have left for Canada should now turn back and say that Canada is a no mans land simply because maybe one Nkechi Adebunmi is now Prime Minister of Canada.

The thing is when you say Lagos is a no mans land, you actually attempt to diminish the cultural ties that generations have had in Lagos prior to migration. Based on almost every known record, yorubas were the orignial settlers in Lagos. If I now move to Enugu or Kano and i am popular in my community there and i speak the language and i win a seat in the house of reps there, can i then also turn arround and say Enugu or Kano is no mans Land ?

Lagos is a melting point. You can say you are also a Lagosian. It can be our land together if you want but to say its a no mans land in the context you say is offensive/insensitive to say the least.

This is my submission.
