For the last couple of years the marking venues in Abuja have been GSS Wuse Zone 3 and GSS Gwagwalada. However, on the notice board in the new NECO office along Arab Road, Kubwa, GSS Tudun Wada was stated as the Wuse venue as seen in the attached photo. Any clarification on this?

Car Talk / Re: I Need A Nigeria Used Car Between The Range Of 450k To 550k by academicjosh(m): 4:44pm On May 20, 2017
valarinz:


My brother, i've never seen where people lie enmasse like naija peeps when it comes to cars, come and see how my brothers wey dey sell toyota engine and parts for ladipo dey hammer on a daily basis, thousands of engines/gearbox/parts sold on a monthly basis and they keep selling more. Yet when you hit the streets you see everyone hyping these toyota cars as if they never ever get issues, i now begin to wonder, who's buying those parts, why are all the thousands of kazeems still employed?

A toyota will be showing my niggas thunder and fire and they'll keep spending and hyping it, consoling themselves with talks like : "if to say na honda/bmw/volvo/benz, by now the car for don die". But when its another car brand that has ordinary bow joint issues, na to rush to nairaland open thread

Fortunately, a lot of peeps are now waking up from the zombie state, who can remember when cars with automatic gears were a no-go area, all the kazeems will,advise you to buy manual gear claiming that auto is not good, also sweetening it up with talks about how you can push start your manual car and so on. Now no one wants a manual gear anymore. We'll soon get there with the toyota hype soon

All those shouting the advantages, can u also state the disadvantages? like, which car is like a thief magnet here in naija, whats the probability of the car getting to that resale point in the first place
Well said. I used my second car, a Civic, for 4 years and only had a ball joint issue once cos I didn't act fast enough when the signs started. I'm on my third car now, and guess what, it's also a Honda Civic. For those who say Hondas cannot ply bad roads like Toyota cars, please try and find out the kind of roads that are in Lugbe, Abuja where I live. I love my Honda Civic.

Car Talk / HELP! Honda Civic 2002 Automatic Transmission Gets Stuck In Park by academicjosh(m): 6:48am On Sep 11, 2016
Hello everyone. While work was going on in the headlights of my Honda Civic LX 2002, it rolled back slightly and shortly afterwards refused to get out of Park(P) and also refused to start even though all the lights on the instrument cluster came on. Don't know if it's as a result of rolling back.
I used the shift lock button beside the gear shift to get it out of P and into N before I could start the car. But as soon as I put it back in P, it got stuck again and has acted that way since. The P indicator light doesn't come on when I put it in Park.
I also noticed that the D light blinks while I'm driving. The transmission seems to shift smoothly though I can't be too sure because I'm used to manual transmission and only just started driving an automatic transmission.
I'm in Abuja and would like to be directed to a Honda/automatic transmission specialist.
Your advice and contributions are pleased expected and will be appreciated. Thanks

Phones / Re: 7 Reasons You Should Use Airtel Night Plan Over MTN Night Plan by academicjosh(m): 2:06pm On Aug 21, 2016
rawdpiper:


1. Was it during download of the windows 10 or installation that the your PC restarted?
2.Were u using any form of assistive technology before the upgrade?
3. I have downloaded windows upgrade assistant and there is a number at the end of the naming"24074''. To be precise "Windows10Upgrade24074". Is it the correct one?
Pc will restart during installation. Launch the windows 10 upgrade assistant and it will download, install and then activate the latest version of Windows 10 that corresponds to your current OS.
However, I prefer downloading a preactivated ISO or an original ISO which you can install and activate in as many systems as you like.
Your choice.

Is Downloading the ISO in app as fast as downloading with IDM? And did the upgrade assistant upgrade your PC to the latest windows 10 version (Anniversary Update)? Also did u perform any update on Windows 7 prior to the upgrade?
It was sort of fast although the pc restarted a few times before it was done. It upgraded to the latest anniversary version (1607). I didn't need to upgrade Windows 7 before the upgrade.

I have some questions related to the explanation u gave above;
1.Where do I download the windows 10 upgrade assistant from?
2.The download of the windows 10 by the upgrade assistant, is it in app or by an external downloader(IDM)?
3. I'm planning to use the airtel night plan of 1.5GB and I'm sure windows 10 is more than 1.5GB that means at some point there will a disconnection from the internet service so as to renew the data plan and will the download resume if its inapp?
4.Where did u download the windows 10 pro anniversary ISO from?
5. Can you perform upgrade to windows 10 pro, instead of a clean install?

Anticipating your reply. Thanks in Advance.
1. Google. Or try softpedia
2. It's in-app. After the download, I couldn't find the downloaded files which makes me prefer downloading the iso(with idm)
3. Yes the download will resume in-app
4. Can't remember the actual site as I removed all cookies and browser history from my pc. Just search for Windows 10 anniversary update 1607 on Google to get the latest version
5. Windows 7/8 /8.1 pro/ultimate can be upgraded to Windows 10 pro while Windows 7/8/8.1 home can only be upgraded to Windows 10 home.
I hope these have answered your questions. Feel free to ask for more information

How did u go about the upgrade process to windows 10, is it ISO u used?
If u could give me the detailed process of how u upgraded I'd appreciate it.
Since I already had original Windows 7 Home Premium, I downloaded a small application called Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant. I launched the application and it downloaded, installed and activated Windows 10 on my laptop. However, I wasn't satisfied because it installed Windows 10 Home which updates automatically whenever you connected to the Internet. So, I downloaded a Windows 10 pro anniversary version ISO, did a clean install of Windows 10 pro and activated it with Microsoft Toolkit v2.6.0 (which can also be used to activate ms Office). Now I have Windows 10 pro activated and can go online without fear of automatic updates.
Note that you can use Power ISO (which I used), Rufus(strange name), Windows Bootable USB/DVD tool maker,etc to create a bootable ISO image on DVD, USB or even memory card (these must be up to 8gb). Microsoft Toolkit, KSMAuto or other activators can then be used to activate it.
Or you could just buy a pirated and activated Windows 10 Dvd from your local software vendors.

Gaming / Re: Highly Compressed Pc Games by academicjosh(m): 1:36pm On Aug 19, 2016
And note, dont subscribe twice on one sim card get another because second subscription the network bcome bad and the speed is throttling.[/quote]I don't quite agree with your assertion to use another sim for second subscription. I use the Airtel trybe night plan multiple times every night on the same sim card without problems. In fact, after a few subscriptions, the speed gets up to over 1mb/s. However, I must acknowledge the occasional failed subscription which I experience once every few days.

My desktop is a Dell Studio Quad core with 4gb RAM and dedicated AMD 5450 graphics card of 1gb RAM running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
While my laptop is a Sony Vaio E series core i5-2450M processor 2.50GHz with turbo boost up to 3.10GHz, 6gb RAM and Nvidia Geforce 410M graphics card of 1gb RAM running Windows 10 pro 64bit.

I attest to the fact that Airtel night plan is better. Just last night/this morning, I used it with hotspot to upgrade my windows 7 laptop to Windows 10 with about 3 subscriptions.
I have used it to download Hitman 2016 episodes 1-4 of 25gb over several nights. Unfortunately though, I couldn't get the game to run.
I have also used it to download numerous movies.
Tried MTN N500 for 750mb+3.5gb yesterday, but was only given 1gb.
The sim is dedicated to browsing and downloading alone.
Airtel rocks. . . at least for now.

As a Great Malabite and an Econocrat(99'/2000), I cannot but lament the loss of a great mind in the person of Professor Toyo even though I was never directly under his tutelage. Also, the deaths of Dr Bassey and Professor Ndebbio has robbed us of mentors. On a lighter note, it's a pleasure to see that there are Malabites (and Malabresses) here on nairaland.
