Car TalkRe: Upgrading From 195/65R15 To 205/65R15 Tyres On My 2004 Corolla S by abes(m): 6:45am On Mar 24, 2017
adanny01:
Changing to 205/65R15 from 195/65R15 will not change your ground clearance even by 1mm.
If 195 is your stock, maintain it. If you really need ground clearance then 195/ 70 R15 will give you what you need. 185, 195, 205, 215, 225 etc are width of the tire, the height is 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80 etc.changing the rim will add to your ground clearance just a very little bit, say 195/60R16. Each time you change the rim to a higher one reduce the height of the tire by 5 to keep the size close to stock.
It will increase the ground clearance. Lets do the calculations

For the 195/65R15, the height is 65% of 195, that is 126.75mm

For the 205/65R15, the height is 65% of 205, that is 133.25mm

The difference in height is 133.25mm - 126.75mm = 6.5mm

Since he's using the same size for the rims, then the ground clearance will only increase by 6.5mm

But make sure there is enough room for the tyres to be installed.

And note that car will move faster than the current speedometer reading.
RomanceRe: London Returnees, Out To Impress Ladies, Misbehave After Bill Of 80k Arrives by abes(m): 2:34pm On Feb 15, 2017
Baroba:
If you live in London and cannot afford an 80k bill ( BTW, this na between four guys) you really need to reevaluate your life.. Country where a nurse can collect £1200 a week, am not even talking of big boys in medicine or other notable professions, dont come here with degree in mass comm and fine arts or with no qualification and hope to make money..
Can you imagine, 80k is around £120. Those guys really need to reevaluate their lives. Though I don't believe the story.

BusinessRe: Naira Surges As CBN Intervenes In Interbank Market by abes(m): 7:36am On Aug 12, 2016
onatisi:
Many countries are doing well even in the face of this oil price crash . Even buhari party members that sponsored his campaign and elections have come out to say that he isn't performing up to expectation,so lets stop all these comparisons of which oil producing country is doing what. Only dumb president will allow 8 solid months of no economic policy or direction in the face of impending recession. The tall dullard was busy junketing all over the world Las year when he should have sat his lean ass down ,appoint a solid economic team and sprung into action action. Rather he was saying that he doesn't know why Nigerians are in a hurry for him to appoint his cabinet. The oil prices didn't fall or crash overnight and repeated warnings were given to Nigeria last year by many economist and economic bodies to brace up for it,but the dull deaf president was busy taking selfies pictures and chasing pdp members instead of doing his job.lets not find any excuse for this government cluelessness because there is none
Many countries like? Please name them and tell us their exchange rate against the US dollars prior to the oil price crash in 2014 and also the current exchange rate against the USD as at now (2016). Please save us the "dullard" epistle, I'm not interested.
Car TalkRe: My Experience With Policeman Today by abes(m): 7:26am On Aug 12, 2016
You really don't need a permit to change the colour of your vehicle, but you need to swear an affidavit in a court of law. Always have the affidavit with you until you change the colour on license when next you renew your car documents....

there is no magic the cbn can perform if the political leadership of the nation is clueless and empty headed. To be honest the cbn has been trying with all sorts of experiment but what has the nation political leaders been doing? Nothing , and they even keep scaring investors away by their negative comments and dumb policies.
Please, which oil producing country's currency is doing better than the Naira?

Then you need to quote and address her (whoever she is) directly.. I only posted a picture from a verified official twitter account of USIP on this thread to show the original OP that indeed Aisha was in the US. Okay?

What proof do you need? Are you just mucking around or something? A man who has been one of the foremost Fulanis in the Nigerian space; became Head of State in 1984 (before that Governor of Kaduna State that was much larger back in the day) and even owns cattle is not considered by Fulani herders as a leader? And I need to PROVE it?
Yes you need to PROVE it... what you wrote up there are just mere assumptions. ..

Lolz,

He has been mute for days about it, enugu massacre is not the 1st, we ad agatu, we have d bduction of olu falae.

His orders to go after the herdmens came after so many criticisms on that, if he had acted immediately after the agatu case, the uzo uwani cse wouldnt hve happened, the same way none hd happened ever since he gave the go head orders. If he had done the right thing from the onset alot would hve been averted, but keeping quiet for weeks after agatu made people started talking, and who knows, he might not have done anything if people were all mute.
Smh...

If you are a cattle herder, and you read that other cattle herders are taking cattle unto airport tarmacs and causing road accidents; and these other cattle herders consider you a leader, would it not trigger a brainwave in your head that it is about time cattle herders modernize? Is the fact that your cattle causing all kinds of mishaps and issues not enough to make you go study how civilized people operate ranches, and then convince your people to follow suit? That is what I expect of a pragmatic, forward thinking leader. This may indicate which side of the divide Buhari falls.
My bad, i never knew Buhari is a nomadic herder, nor did i know he was an executive member of the cattle herders association that can command all cattle herders to build ranches, fund the projects at the same time while the government sips 'kain-kain'. Wow was so powerful before he became president. ..

Huh? What do leaders do? Is that really a question? I have already told you the solution, you are talking about "complaint".
You asked what he has been doing even before he became the president, and I asked you what exactly do you expect him to have done and at what capacity....

Okay you said "lead by example", but that word is generic. So I'm asking you again, lead by example how? and in what capacity?

OK, now with all the noise and he being one of them (even owning cattle), he should start doing something about it. You should ask yourself what he was doing all these while even when he was not president? That should tell you a lot about leadership in the North. A proper leader (even without being president) should have started doing something about this. I want to imagine that he must have heard about all these cases of cattle encroaching on airport tarmac and causing road accidents? Or was he in Mars all that time?
Do something like what exactly? please come up some suggestions/solution, don't just complain and leave...

Nope, that is not it.

The question should be, why is it that PMP did not condemned the attacks and giving subsequent orders to capture and prosecute the erring herdsmen, as fast and as urgent as he ordered the annihilation of the avengers. Or as fast as he condemned the terrorist attack somewhere in europe.

As a president, your every single move is monitored and thus, criticized. Always strive to do the right things and avoid all these silly cooments.
Get yourself updated and stop the unnecessary hate...
