Lol leave readonee35 make him Dey talk statistics Honda makes one of the best engine no doubt I own one sweet ride but Benz mastery of engine is second to non

The mere fact that they carry the same HP isnt the sole determinant of how fast the car will be in a race. HP is a part of it-yes, but there are other factors that determine how fast a car will go e.g acceleration, body weight, stability (most of these MBs are either rear wheel drive or 4matics which gives them better stability and control while the honda is just FWD), transmission (the MBs are mostly 7speed and now even 8speed while the hondas are 5 or 6 speed), top speed too matters, turbo chargers/superchargers (which the honda doesnt even have) e.t.c so dont be surprised that c300 will still outshine the honda 3.5L engine.

adanny01:
You forgot one thing, the reason accord is slower is just weight. Accord is heavier. Weight is more drag.

That is the reason the Honda Coupe is faster with 5.7secs

hkwills:
Am not here to argue anymore Benz people.
Are you awear that accord V6 engines from ur 2000 comes with supercharge .,which is same tin as ur turbchage and the so called Benz compressor

chccho:
Ok lets stick to the C300 model or even a c280..
The honda accord is still no match.
Bare in mind that the benz usually comes with turbo chargers, some carry double plugs per cylinder and they are 7speed..pls explain how your honda accord can rival a beast like that?

If u want to compare a honda accord v6, u can do it with toyota camry XLE, lexus IS 300, volkwagen Jetta/Passat, or a Nissan Maxima..

But pls not a benz or BMW or Audi

All these cars belong to their respective categories.

chccho:
Hmmn bros where did u get all this from again?

Point of correction, a turbo charger and a super charger are not the same thing.
I also doubt but i stand to be corrected that accord 2000 v6 engines are supercharged

HeavenlyBang:
2009 C350 vs Honda Accord 09 V6.
Both are 3.5L engines.

Even though the Accord has a 3hp advantage, the C350 has it beat quite well on 0-60.

chccho:
Op na ordinary v6 honda u dey hype like this?

Let me give u homework, go and drive a c230,c280 or c300. U can also try a Bmw 3series, or maybe u should try the infinit fx 35 just 2003 model is enough for u.. After driving all these cars u will know that your v6 honda is just a baby boy

authority2006:
No. I meant the ones on other naira notes like N200. It is Arabic alphabets but it is Hausa word when pronounced.

authority2006:
Keeping new notes for Owambe parties didn't start today and it wasn't limited to N100 notes. Even when these new notes are kept for parties, they would still find their way into the economy because the keepers would eventually spend it. The truth is that CBN is not releasing new N100 notes into the circulation but I don't know the reason for its action



Na lie go kill you brother. As at today, not all naira notes have Arabic inscription on them. Even when there were Arabic inscriptions on our Naira notes, the pronunciation was in Hausa language (like naira goma) and it was for those northern Muslims who only went to Arabic schools.

Purewatermeji:
You Christians think you're wise. GEJ stylishly removed the Islamic inscription on the 100 naira note and you people expect the buhari administration to keep printing that infidel money at the detriment of we Muslims. It will never happen. Keep spending those rag notes till 100 naira goes to oblivion. Then we can reprint the old note with Islamic inscription

I was there during the construction of the East-West road. But not disagreeing with some of your other points which are similar to the submission I made earlier on the matter.

Barryton:
This is why i have always maintained every contributor is important on this thread. That is the only way we can have contrary views & learn.
Thanks for sharing your findings, so many renowned engineers in this thread have always opined that laterite is a no go area for filling in water logged areas, i just hope they will come out to counter this your position so we can learn. But i still have my reservations, because my little experience with laterite shows it doesn't go well with water. How to make it compact properly in a waterlogged area is what i still don't get.

Barryton:
Are u suggesting laterite is more suitable for filling in waterlogged areas?

megacontrol:
Hmmm, this is an example of the concern i raised earlier about myth or individual practices being adopted over time as industry standard process/best practice without technical justification, or like in this case scientific research.

Although this is argument is difficult to accept as it completely turns everything on its head, but who are we to belittle your body of work. I actually would love to read excerpts of the report if you don't mind sharing with me privately.

I understand geology in general so i get your point on porosity and permeability.

Just to be sure,which sand do you refer to as sharp and laterite in this case?

EgunMogaji:
Remember, that I am not saying that you're wrong.

EgunMogaji:
Based on my learnings on my project, I will have to respectfully disagree with you, Sir.

EgunMogaji:
That should be laterite.

The issue with laterite is that it expands and contracts with moisture.

Rubbiish:
Lol...It's laterite.
It expands when subjected to water, reason why it is bad for waterlogged areas.

NOC1:
Kudos to PMB who understand that governance is a continuum, who understand the difference between a NEED and WANT, Some senseless leaders will choose to finish that centenary whatever over this laudable project.

My service year experience can be related to the processes involved in the making of gold, which we all love - from fire to glitters.

Oh! Pardon my ill manners. My name is Aruleba Damilare Olamide, an ex Kebbi State corp member Batch B, 2016).

Just like every prospective corp member whose call up letter points to the Northern part of Nigeria, I was torn apart. "Kebbi State! Of all the states in Nigeria! How many ancestors did I offend!" I screamed, as I quickly searched out the Nigerian map on my Android smartphone. I had never been so serious reading the Nigerian map before.

Knowing that I would have to travel to the extreme of Nigeria made me wish I was dreaming, but reality was so adamant that it wouldn't give way for my dream wishes to come true.

Without wasting time, I ransacked the internet, looking for other "ill-fated" protective corp members like myself to be travel partners with. With luck on my side, I found many Whatsapp groups and I was quick to make friends. The mobilization countdown began.

Fast forwarded to the day I had to leave for camp, I woke up as early as 4am (as if I even slept. Lol). I was on an emotional merry-go-round that had happiness and sadness seating on different seats - Yay! I'm going to camp! - at Kebbi state? Oh no!

Funny enough, I never got on the same bus with those friends I made from Whatsapp; I found other PCMs on the bus I was and we all told our sad stories.

The journey to Kebbi was so far that if not that I saw sand everywhere, I'd have asked the driver if he was driving us to heaven. We arrived at Niger State and I checked my map with a smile on my face. "Kebbi is next," I said loudly. I never knew what the miles ahead looked like.

My parents called me three times (with three hours between each time) and I replied their "where are you?" questions with "Niger State." At this point, I thought to sleep, but what I saw next put my sleeping faculty on caffeine. I saw a camel! I only saw them in books and on TV - I was so happy to see a live camel that I totally forgot that I couldn't feel my butts.

If Jackie Chan was on that vehicle, he'd be glad to have met a die-hard fan; I had practised all the styles he used in the drunken master because my butt and legs were numb.

After driving for hours, we arrived at Koko Besse, where we took another car to Dankingari. After about an hour now driving, we got the NYSC camp. Guys, this camp was so beautiful that I didn't think about all the travel stress I went through.

The three weeks I spent in the camp came and passed quicker than I thought and I had to go to my PPA. I was posted to Jega Local Government Area of Kebbi State.


And the real struggle began...

I had a rough beginning, trying to blend with a totally different culture - the language; dos and don'ts; food ( After eating rice in Kebbi, it was like my anus lost its "hold" button - for three days, I visited the toilet more than I blinked). Did I tell you I drank more than 10 satchets of water everyday without peeing? It was hell.

Soon enough, things changed, gradually. Before I could say "Jack Robinson," I feel in love with that way of life that once disgusted me. Serving in the North soon became something I was proud to tell people about.

I was able to know that Hausas are hard working people - an average Hausa man has entrepreneurship tattooed on his mind. I enjoyed discussing with them because although most didn't go to school, they have a sound business mind.

Never judge a Hausa man by his looks, I was jaw-dropped when a 24-looking Hausa guy walked to me to help him check his balance on an ATM. That afternoon, I had just returned from my PPA and I was zombified and so hungry that my economics textbook looked like bread to me, so I had to use the ATM.

After waiting for a period of time that seemed like forever to me, with this guy in his torn clothes and slippers branded with "channel O's" almost having to read a "How to operate an ATM for Dummies" manual before he could use the machine.

Finally, he gave up, turning to me for help. "Mai gida, balance" was all he said to me, which I clearly understood. Without wasting time, I asked for his pin and I clicked on the "check balance" option. What I saw almost made me exclaim. He had 1,546,000 (not made up) in his account . It was like I received an OTA respect update for him, because I had just 10,000 naira in my account, but I looked like I could buy him.

**back to the story*

I attended RCCF and NCCF and these fellowship put my music life on steroids. Just like myself, I met music thespians in both fellowships and this exposed me to a whole new level of cool, musically.

I soon made a Hausa friend who had the passion to learn the English Language, and since I'd love to learn the Hausa language too, we brought the barter system back to life. This brought me more fun, because to some extent, I could understand it when Hausas communicated.

Things are so cheap that at times, I spent only hundred naira to prepare stew. Oh! About stew, I was taught to cook by some other female Corp members who didn't want me to end my life as a junkie. I was posted along side 9 ladies to my lodge, and they were wonderful to me. They thought me so many kitchen-related stuff.

Kebbi State was more than I had imagined; aside from the really hot weather that made me and every other corp member sleep outside at times (which we loved because we got to share stories), Kebbi was altogether awesome.

I never regretted serving in the North because it brought me many blessings. I had out-of-the-world experiences.

If you got posted to the North, don't feel bad. Seize every opportunity when you get there. Also, relate with the people. Some look like they are poor, but they are connected to the people in power. You never know what form that help you need may take.

EgunMogaji:
Seriously!

4 months separation and he’s still talking about reconciliation

You guys give men a bad rap with women.

Move on already, use the experience here to make sure that your next relationship is based on solid foundation.

Oga marriage is all about unity and love. there should be compromise in marriage. If she tries to persuade him it's not bad. They are partners, not master and slave.
See you talking of death for this kain thing, it's not that serious biko.
The man isn't a demon, he is very easy going he just needs to convinced in a logical way.
