Armoured Cars



Nigerians are cool like that, nothing we cant do. Tucked in somewhere in Ogun state is Proforce limited, owned by Adetokunbo Ogundeyin. They build armoured cars, yes, you heard me right, armoured cars.
So how do they do it? They buy these landcruisers, every other part of the landcruiser is discarded apart from the chassis, which now forms the base for the armoured vehicle. These guys build new ballistic steel body, new seats, new tanks, get fortified screens and tyres and have the best local and foreign experts to do the job.
Also, if you want your own sedan or SUV fortified in such a way that no one will know it is armoured, just bring it on.
And for those who want it the James Bond style, you can have tictac, where when you are being pursued, just a little press and nails or other sharp objects will come out from behind to stall the car behind. There is another one called oil spill too.
Now you ask, if everywhere is fortified, what about the tyres, because that is the next target when someone finds out that a car is armoured, well, there is a special thing put in the middle of the tyre that still moves for hours even after the tyre goes bad.
Lets look inward, and we will achieve more.
Sorry, I do not have a video for this yet, but the pictures will tell you more.

Stay blessed.

Tiwa seeks to restore our forgotten folk-tale tradition

Image
If you are an 80's child like me and grew up watching Tales by Moonlight on NTA (Nigeria Television Authority) then you will understand why this story struck a chord when I first saw it.      As usual I was strolling on the streets of Instagram when I saw a post by @Lagoshousewife about this bear that tells African folk tales. Immediately, my child hood flashed before me.     You see, folk tales were traditionally an important learning tool before the introduction of formal education. Children will sit on the floor, surrounding either a parent or grand parent who told them stories about the tortoise or the dog, and these stories always ended with a moral lesson. Folk tales were used to pass knowledge from generation to generation.      However, even after formal education took the fore front, folk tales were still told to children but this is gradually waning and Nigerian entrepreneur Tola Akanbi decided to do something to help, he created Tiwa The Talking Bear, something

Rare Super Blood Moon By Midnight Today

Image
     We expect to see a bloody moon from midnight today, Sunday 28, 2015 between the hours of 12 midnight to 6am. The bloody moon, when it occurs will last for about an hour. A bloody moon occurs because the moon is very close to the earth, making it extremely bright. According to NASA this has only happened five times since 1900, the last one was in 1982, and the next one will be in 2033.      Everything has been tied around this bloody moon, from it being the end of the world, to volcanoes erupting, to earthquakes and all of that. In fact I just read on christian.com that in the US state of Utah, people are already stock piling on dried foods and emergency stuff. They are so convinced something will happen. The world had ended so many times in the past, yet these end time propagators don't just stop, they just find a new date and continue.

Ending the long walk in the desert; A story of modern day slavery

Image
I asked him why he decided to leave for Europe through the desert. He responded in the local Nigerian pidgin parlance: "I learn carpenter work for here, no body gree help me start up my own place, my oga pursue me, my people no gree help. My friend tell me say make I come make we commot this country, I no even know were we dey go until we reach desert and I no fit turn back again. Na only ghost I dey see for road. The thing wey I suffer for Libya nko? Two whole years! From one prison to another, from one slave master to another. My mouth no fit talk am." Since February 2017, more than five thousand Nigerian migrants have been repatriated from Libya. These are our brothers and sisters who left the country mostly by road, hoping to get to Libya, and cross over to Europe through the Mediterranean. However, they got stuck. Several of them faced exploitation and abuse, some were sold into slavery, some were kept in prison for months, living on water and little or no food.
