I plan to drive my car (honda accord 1999EX) from Jos to Maiduguri at the end of this month. A journey of about 7 hours normally. but with the numerous security check points I'm estimating between 9 and 11 hours. Will update after I complete the Trip.

abdulkadir: hooo! First tym i'm meeting a kwalla since my service yr.
danuwa u try oh. D first tym i went to QP frm jos it was like eternity, like 4hrs with all d curves and hils. Definately a long trip u had.
Jos to zaria was so bad, Dre were more pot holes dan d road itself. Jos kano was better but i'll rather do jos bauchi-dutse- kano much longer but a road exists.
the last tym i did jos -kano in august 2010 i lost a tyre nd 2 rims.
such a bad road.

You really tried those days. The roads are good now though. I use less than 2 hrs to go from Jos to Kwalla. All those dusty roads have been tarred. If you know Chip, theres a road before that town straight to Kwalla. less than 20mins drive

sobaemma: sometin fishery about thia jtf civilain,we heard they are just using cutlass and sticks,so how come there was an exchange of gun fire or do cutlass exchange fire?that means they handed weapon to this guyzzzzand another point is that the jtf didnt follow them to make sure they are doing the right thing,hmmm

The civilian jtf dont carry fire arms. What happens is they move with soldiers backing them up.Their job is basically identifying the bad guys and arresting them. When ever there is fire resistance, the jtf takes over. thats what happened yesterday. This report isn't accurate.

Aig can begin to prepare to take over CBN when SLS's reign ends in 2014

lomomike: where do you school in yola? I also graduated from one of the institutions in Yola.

Yola is peaceful to an extent, though some ready tools were about being initiated b4 the SoE. Was there From early this year to last week.

[quote author=Marpol][/quote]But in my car manual, Dexron III is recommended where Honda ATF isn't available. Please educate us more.

cisplatin: thank you bro. Please what is correct ATF for a 98 model?

There's a Honda ATF I cant remember the name now. It's specified in the owner's manual. But you can use any ATF of
DEXRON III grade as substitude. Please note Dexron III and not Dexron II which is commonly found in petrol stations.

cisplatin: Good day all! Pls I'm planning to get a 1998 honda baby boy...can anyone advice based on its reliability?

Also, i heared the transmission is notorious, so I'd like to know the cost of replacing the transmission (automatic).

The transmission is only notorious if you use the wong ATF when changing or you dont change according to schedule. It costs between 60 and 80 thousand naira I heard. I've never bought one myself. I've used my 1999 accord since November 2008.

When people want to do the right thing, they will no matter their affiliation. And when a leader does the right thing, he'll get support from allover. We have natural instincts to do the right things but suppress them to do otherwise.

I'm in adamawa presently, jimeta/yola precisely. Not much happening now but the proximity of this state to hot areas n cameroun border calls for its inclusion in d SoE. Also the gun attacks witnessed here in recent weeks call for SoE inclusion too.

[quote author=lacasa[/quote]Peaceful indeed. What with the prison/bank raid in ganye in march, or the raid on mayo belwa, d gov's town? Hw 'bout d michika shootns & also targetn of michika traders in jimeta? So much for peace. Well, u said its relative.

onatisi: are u serious?

I'm serious. d feeln in yola is that d SoE is politics, but we've witnessed series of killngs ova d last mth. They look @ d surge as a GEJ strategy 2wards 2015, n dats 1 thing dey despise here in d north.

At least 3 airforce fighter jets left the NAF base in yola tody for raids/surveillance @ God knows where. The gloom on the faces of the pple here suggests either fear or anger. I feel its the latter. Many of them silently sympathise with the terrorists.

I knew it was only a matter of time for Daura to fall victim of bombs. The people there always like to emulate Kano people, good and bad alike. Pray God's protection for the innocent ones.

shyvicky: when there is lightening we say,god is snapping us,all we do on earth,when u do wrong we have one grass we tie into a knot that makes the adult to forget it

Did that too. The grass is called 'tofa' in hausa.

I've got the old 10 & 5 naira notes, then I've kept all the polymer denominations since I heard they'll be withdrawn soon. Still looking for the old 20 & 50 notes. Hope to get them soon.

luvinhubby: It's N2,500 per can but DW1 is better and it's N3,000 per can.

How many cans will a honda 1999 accord EX require ? you may also help find d cost of shipping to north and let me have the total cost. Am in yola now. Thanx

baa...baa....black sheep any any woo, yesa yesa 3 bafoo. Some 2yrs back I got the true words there: baa...baa black sheep have u any wool? Yes sir! yes sir! three bags full.

I did a head gasket change and cooling system flush but noticed that my honda 99 accord ex(auto tran) drags when accelerating. Fuel consumption rose as a result cos it revs @ high rpm to gather speed. What are the possible remedial actions please. Thanks

CAMEROONPRIDE: ^^ go back to your roots, you brainwashed slave

What's with the insult? May you find peace.

I also bought same shares in '08. Have written mine off as bad investment. If I ever recover them, it'll be bonus for me.

Honda; 99 accord ex; auto tran.; i4 engine.
Had overheating issues when traveling from jos to yola 3 weeks ago. Culprit: water i topped up wit sometime back and a failed water pump. Had pump replaced n cooling system flushed/bled n fresh coolant refilled.

Feb, 2010. Heard the sudden death of my friend Leo Ajibo. He died of internal organs failure while on peace-keeping mission in Sudan. I spoke with him exactly 14days earlier. I literally broke down.

Please anyone knows any reliable honda technician/mechanic in Yola town? I'm new here and need to do some repairs on my honda '99 accord before I travel next week for easter. Quick responses will be highly appreciated.

Adesiji77: Try Stanbic IBTC Bank

Yeah, sure. They're good.

Bought my car in 2008 @ 28yrs. A honda 99accord (baby boy) for 1.32m naira. Still using it.

Trebor luckies...evri wrap is a sweet sensation.... Bata cortina, the all purpose footwear.

'Smokie'. Theres this music band back then with the name and my dad had their album. I bragged about them to my friends who didnt know the band and thought I lied about them so they named me SMOKIE.
