Kids take on Made-in-Nigeria cars on KSDT show

Nigeria’s most children-friendly telecommunications company, Etisalat, at the weekend returned with the episode three of the ongoing season two of the popular Children TV series, Kids Say the Darndest Things.

And like what has become the intriguing fashion of the show, viewers were treated to a full dose of entertainment and hilarity from unscripted views and opinions from the kids on a number of social issues like lifestyles, relationships among siblings, etc.


•Sean, Rejoice and Nemi with Tony on stage

Show host, Tony Okungbowa had wanted to buy a car, but could not make up his mind on which brand to go for.

 He decided to seek some professional advice from his guests, the trio of Nemi, Rejoice and Sean, but his request threw up a collection of bemusing responses and suggestions, expectedly though. Nemi, a seven years old boy advised him to consider the beauty in his choice, an opinion also echoed by nine years Rejoice. 

For Sean, he could go for any brand of his choice except that he had to ensure it did not come with any defect. Not done with his earlier suggestion, Nemi also advised him to also consider ‘a car that can drive itself’ preferably made in China.

 His advice was quite startling particularly to Rejoice who stared at him unbelievably. Tony’s attempted probe of a possibility of finding such a car in the country and his insistence on buying a made-in-Nigeria car opened a new worldview into the lives of the panelists and their relationships with history.

 The audience had a moment of laughter when the kids unanimous mentioned to Tony that such car brands like Land Rover, Ford, Toyota, GMC, Honda and Nissan among others were made in Nigeria.
