Lol....but does PDP has the power to impeach Buhari??.....

Even when APC has the majority in the house of rep including the speaker....they didn't dare
Last time a senate president tried to impeach the president in Nigeria, he was impeached first. Saraki is not APC but let him try that impeachment and see what will happen.

Na HOR Buhari go use against them and the tide will change against Saraki.
Car Talk › Re: Why The Placing Of A 4-yr Expiry Date For tyres is wrong by adanny01(m): 9:15pm On Jul 20, 2016
erico2k2:
Now you have written all that, could you please show me anywhere a major tyre maker said it sets its expiry date to 4 years plz? Im waiting
Non said so. Even i wonder why 4 yrs. FRSC has adopted 4 yrs too. I dont like it because they cannot proof that my tires are expired neither do any law guides that.

My convicton is based on published researches, general experiences and observations with use of rubber products weather synthetic or natural. Most publications i have seen state 4-6years as expiry periods for tires. Of course i agree tires expire, but the expiry period is not precise.

Education › Re: ASUU Rejects Scrapping Of Post- UTME by adanny01(m): 12:23pm On Jul 19, 2016
Bolustic:
Scrapping POST UTME is a no-no for me. Why should candidates who cheated all the way from O'Level to JAMB be granted admission over the genuine ones?

The Federal Ministry of Labour for kuku say make companies no dey do recruitment test again na. Na direct employment.

If FG premised the scrapping on financial burdens on parents, governments should provide post UTME grants to institutions to conduct the exams thus making it FREE for candidates.

Post UTME is the surest way of separating the wheats from the chaffs.
One should be scrapped between Jamb and Post UTME, i dont care which one. Why should a candidate pay and write exams four times to get one admission. Its duplication of fees and exams.

In saner climes, WAEC or NECO is all you need to qualify for admission and the school interview the application of a candidate to choose who they admit.

What we have is too much of exams from JAMB, WAEC, NECO and Post UTME.
Car Talk › Re: Epsom Salt test? Can it really restore a failing car battery? by adanny01(m): 9:11pm On Jul 17, 2016
onos217:
I quit agree on some of the points you raised except for the voltmeter test . The voltmeter test is equally important but you can't use it to determine the true state of a battery.
I have worked with batteries that read some of these voltages:10. 5v, 11v, 11. 5v, and when we carried out a load test, they passed the load test. It was obvious that these batteries were undercharge.

However, there are some batteries that read the above stated voltages, and when the load test was attested on them, they failed the load test.

One true way of determining the true state of a battery is by placing that battery on battery machine. Then, carry out a series of recharge and discharge tests. Check the tests results,it would revealed to you the battery behaviour, and will equally tell you if the battery is good, bad or should be discarded.
Have a great!
I do understand what you mean. I believe you are speaking from experience with inverter batteries which most times are connected to one another. Maintaining a 12v battery bank is not the same as a bank of 2v. A defective battery can be spotted from a mile in a 2v bank.

The battery i gave up, a multimeter test showed 10.5v with engine off and 14.3 with engine running. How will i truely know that the charging system is normal if i dont use a voltimeter to check? Even after driving for an hour, the battery read just 10.9v. On just one cranking attempt, the volt went back to 10.5v. I took it to a battery mechanic to tested the specific gravity of the electrolyte, off course it was too low. He change the sulfuric acid, and i took it home, plugged to our home generator which gave it an equalizing charge at 15.7v for 2 hrs. 5 cranks in my car was perfect
but the voltage dropped from 13.2v to 12.5v. I was satisfied that my battery is well now only for it to drop to 11.2 the following morning. By mid after noon it was back to 10.5v. The surprising fact is that even with the 10.5v it slowly cranks for up to 20s which the car manages to sprout on. I borrowed my friends battery which is a 45A but listening to music for an hr dropped the battery to 10.5v. That battery couldnt manage to start the car at 10.5v but mine does.

I still changed the acid once again and the same experience repeated. My conclusion was that a considerable part of the electrode of one cell has broken off dropping the voltage across the 6cells.

Of course no 2 cells are the same in health so across 6 cells, a weak one would compromise the whole under a load test.

onos217:
A quick reaction to what you have written above:
The multimeter reading of a battery does not actually tells if a battery is bad or good. The only way you get to know is by placing a load on it, and watch how long its sustained the load. So, whether your battery reads 11v or 13v is almost insignificant. There are some batteries that will read 13v, but immediately you put a load on it, it will drop to 0v.

A voltmeter test on a 12V battery that shows 11V means that the battery's state of charge is 0%. A load test in this case is pointless as the load will not be powered. Its only when the volt test shows 13V that the load test is the second test to determine the integrity of the battery. Therefore the multimeter reading is as important as the load test

A battery has a lifecycle. When a battery attained its l. ife cycle, it's dead and buried.

A battery can be dead but not buried. All Lead-acid batteries must be recycled. Just yesterday morning, i traded my battery for N3,000 for a new battery of N13,000 to pay only 10k.

Moreso, you changed the electrolyte but
but you didn't change the electrodes. Don't you know when the electrodes are used up its almost impossible for chemical reaction to occur. I would advice you get yourselves a new battery and save yourself from needless stress.

Lead-acid batteries in the real sense of it do not die. Its either the electrodes has too much sulphation or lost parts of the electrodes by shedding which is caused by excessive charging or discharging. There are hopes for sulphation, one of which the op is attempting.


Have a good day!

achieverme:
Everyone is blaming and abusing dino melaye. No one ever bothered to ask what remi tinubu said to prompt Dino's response. Or did dino just turned on her and said he would rape her without remi tinubu saying anything to prompt Dino's outburst?

This is shameful.

And many of the news media reporting this issue have cleverly left out what tinubu said to prompt this.

There are two sides to a story. We do not want to bother asking what tinubu's wife said to warrant Dino's response, just because of hatred for him and desire to pull him down at all cost.

While I Dont support the unruly conduct of Dino, I still think remi tinubu must have said something equally unbecoming to make Dino give her that kind of response. Everyone is now silent on what tinubu could have said, but start broadcasting what dino said. We leave out the action that prompted the reaction and start hammering on the reaction alone.
It is you who needs to find out what she said. It is obvious that you have taken sides even before knowing what she said. Right from when the story broke, her comment was published too.

No matter how inciting what she said is not equal to what he said.

Besides this is what she said "the Senate should not be reduced to a kindergarten where Senators could just issue childish threats, and called on Senators to close ranks and seek reconciliation amongst its members."
Romance › Re: A Beautiful Albino Youth Corper Girl Is In Love With Me... by adanny01(m): 12:35pm On Jul 14, 2016
jeffcheddy:
Just started a relationship with an albino girl who loves me dearly. She's been faithful and helps me too when I'm broke. But I don't know what the future holds between us cos I'm a youth corper as well and we are both passing out by sept/oct. I promised to marry the next girl that comes my way, and here are my with this caring hearted girl. But my fear is what are the chances of my future kids health. What if they are all albinos,in terms of their healt issues,like eyes,skin etc. Will it not be unfair to them? Please I need advices here. Thanks
I will advice you to research and find out every detail about albinism before you even consider have a serious relationship with her. It doesnt sound like you know much.

I will give you a few but fine out more. The gene for albinism is usually carried by both parents to have a higher risk of having a child with albinism. That means you have to find out your family history with regards to albinism. Ofcourse, she is carrying the gene so it falls on your own gene. Although there is a very strong albino gene that can give your offspring albinism even if you dont carry the gene, the possible is very low.

Your children who are not albinos are not exposed to health risks of albinos. Only your wife is.

ireneony:
Slipped her finger inside her puni and turned non -virgin cheesy just like that.

The thing de pain me.
You go out on a date with a guy the first thing he ask is..are you a virgin.

This happened last april. ..i was at home bored when a call came in, i picked up my phone..saw a strange number and i was so reluctant(i dont go abt picking calls that are not on my contact) so i decided to answer the call. I heard a deep voice..#cut conversation short.
He told me he knew me from somewhere..
So we got talking. Oneday, he fixed a date we should meet which i oblige to.

On that sunny day we met at fancy restaurant. I won't lie, the food was one of the best i have ever tasted cheesy..
We talked about ourselves.

This guy is from a wealthy family meh but very religious.
He Asked, are you are a virgin, i replied hmmmm nah"
His face was kinda sad. He told me he thought i was a decent girl. and i replied yes of course "I'm decent. grin.

He explained everything to me that he is a virgin and vowed to get married to a virgin aswell.; don't be angry, we can be friends you know, just friends. I was so furious in my mind. angry na wey i wan hammer na enemy don put sand for my garri.



To my question:
Nairalanders, do you think what he did was right?
He is a virgin and deserves to marry one if he find one. I hope you wished him luck!

Besides, my friend is getting married in November, his bro just confided in me that she has a child. I already heard stories but i pretended i was shocked to hear it. The girl doesnt look like she had a baby before but my friend wants to marry her and the girl was open about it. He has told his mum and everyone who is close to him. I am happy for them.

When i found out, i was only scared that he didnt know but since he knows, thats fine. Am sure your friend would think otherwise when he is 40 and yet to meet a virgin. Thats if he doesnt marry a fake one.

Thanks, at least someone understands English.
No information on this matter means a lot of things, like it's before a court of law and we can't comment or the FBI is still working on the case, etc
Or if you really understood english, you will know other synonyms of information include 'facts' 'news' 'knowledge' etc.

In other words there are no 'facts' 'news' or 'knowledge' about the story, yet you want to point holes were there are no holes. If a case is in court, the best reply they would have given is, 'we decline comment'.

I guess, whatever it is, you wont give up, even if she goes to the US. Even if she goes to the US attorney general's office and shake hands with her, people like you will still say something like, 'Buhari already made a deal for her' or 'she travelled on diplomatic passport'!

Omotakins:
My son(almost 4yrs) is in the reception class. He doesn't respond to teachings at school, doesn't talk or play. This is the exact opposite at home. Plays very well at home, sings and talks about all he's taught in the school. He responds very well to the teachings of his home teacher. His teacher in school is saying he will repeat class 'cos there is nothing to show he's learnt things. What do I do? Teachers, educators and Co, ur help is needed pls.
My son who is 4 was like that during his pre-nursery class but later on changed. I was worried for a while but later realised he was still learning when he started reciting things from school. The teacher complained that the could not get him to be attentive in school. The school recently complained to us that he will stop his class work in the middle of it and start drawing images. The head mistress said she was going to make him draw to see if he has a talent that was trying to manifest.

I guess children pass through several stages and need to beunder stood. We used to struggle with him to have him do his homework, right now he starts his home work himself. At a point i started wondering if he had ADD-Attention Deficit Disorder. I believe its a phase that they pass.

IsiCaterpillar:
My check engine light was on and i contacted my mechanic who after scanning said the catalyst was bad and said it would cost me 25k to fix. I said 'odi mma, make i wait tilll they pay salary'.

I came to work later, parked the car but the car wont start after work. My colleague came and opened the hood and said the battery head was not tight enough and that it was clogged with salt. They dashed across the street, bought another battery head, fixed it and the car started.

I noticed that the check engine light was gone and it has been gone for like 4 months now. I drove the car from Lagos to Enugu and back over the holiday cum weekend still no check engine light annoyingly and horrifyingly popping up to make you feel like the car is gonna grind to a halt the next minute.

Summary, there is sense in what the poster wrote.
This happens a lot.

Before a catalyst is declared failed, series of test must be conducted. Using bad fuel could set up a catalyst code but may not mean the catalyst is bad. A bad spark plug could do same but if replaced, the catalyst resumes its normal functions. The usual problem is that the ECU takes some time before it declares catalyst below threshold.

It also depends on driving style. I have noticed that driving at a steady low speed is good test for the catalyst. So, if you usually drive over 100km/hr you may not see the CEL return so soon.

After ECU reset, the light has taken me weeks to come back and sometimes with in minutes. If your catalyst is actually bad, you will eventually see the light come up again.

Thanks for the tips. Knowledge is always power. Sadly, few of those criticising this post are either auto mechanics who don't want folks to possess this knowledge or they are damn ignorant.

I have fixed a nagging problem in my car by myself twice after spending thousands of naira with no result. A simple search of the problem on Google and watching the video on Youtube on how to fix it was all I did and the problem was fixed. It's called DIY - Do it yourself.
Half knowledge they will say is better than none. While that is true sometimes, other times it is disastrous.

For example, removing the battery head on a Peugeot while key is in the ignition will reset the ECU and also the immobilizer module. You will end up requiring an immobilizer transponder recoding before the car starts again. That is expensive as it is not a DIY procedure and you need to contact Peugeot and follow their processes.

Its not just simple to say one can remove the battery head to reset the ECU, you need to mention the dangers of doing so, so that people will not attempt and incure greater expenses on themselves. What the op has posted is shallow without necessary warnings.

Its either you are biased minded or have not really made a research.

I believe you have tagged MTN a stingy network because of cost and promos. When it comes to reliability and coverage, if you travel, you will know who tops the table.

Am sure you are a Glo fan with all the promos and freebies but you never get to use all of it. Airtel is the same with their wacked calls and data. Etisalat to me is the most stingy network and right now with the most expenaive data subscription.

My office used Glo and it was a big disappointment we went for Spectranet. Despite that, they have some downtimes that i use my MTN hotspot as a subtitute for the office of 5-7 pc's comfortably.

Dont forget MTN still has the largest subscribers even if you think they are wacked. By that i mean that they have large subscribers but still able to deliver better services than most.

The question I want to ask is was this issue rectified on 2008 honda accord aka( evil spirit) and above.
It was not rectified. That's because it was never a problem.

That issue mostly happens in Nigeria so Honda is not aware of the problem. If fact, the 2003-7 accord is a smoother car to the 2008 accord.

The only issue to rectify is to advice Honda users to buy only oem ball joints. Any chinko ball joint is bound to fail this way.

My 2003 accord is 4 yrs so far and have not replaced that ball joint yet. When i need to, i will either buy toks or order oem.
Car Talk › Re: My Air Intake Fuel Sensor Is Missing On My toyota Avensis by adanny01(m):
You should have access to a phone with camera. Why dont you snap the car and the location of the missing part if you dont know its name.

From the name you called, i can only think of the items below;
1. Air/fuel ratio sensor (AFR)
2. Intake air temperature sensor (IAT)
3. Mass air flow sensor (MAF)
4. Manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP)

Am not sure for a Toyota but for a Honda, these things would not stop a car. However, fuel trim will be on open loop meaning more fuel consumption and possibly limp mode depending on the model year.

For the coil packs, unless you have misfire codes, it shouldnt be mentioned. Thats something that hardly fails and difficult to diagnose. A lot of other faults could seem to an average mechanic like a bad coil pack. Spark plugs, worn piston rings, cracked head cylinder or engine block, head gasket leak, burnt valve, incorrect valve timing would all give similar signs like a bad coil pack. The list above and many others would cause vibrations so it is better to scan the car to eliminate faults.
Family › Re: I Just Saw My Uncle's Wife In A Guest House by adanny01(m): 11:11pm On Jun 30, 2016
About 20yrs ago, my uncle, who's family lived like 4km from my family but works 400km from home. He comes for weekends at the time.

Something official brought him home unexpectedly. His wife didnt sleep at home that night leaving 4 female children on their own for the night with no explanation where she went. She drove home 5am in the morning to see her husbands official car at home. She immediately drove away to my house. She arrived our house crying on her knees begging my parents to intervene.

Even more unfortunate, she forgot her jewelry at the hotel. My bro was sent to pick it up and was given the room number. He told me he met the man still sleeping under covers, he asked for them and the man let him carry them back home.

My father summoned my uncle and their issues were resolved and i dont know how. I know my uncle is so calm and cool headed.

Fast forward 8yrs later, they moved to Abj, i lived with them for my 6mths IT. I was disgusted because this woman was all over my uncle's back with false accusations of sleeping with his secretary, colleages or any female around him. He worked with HR dept and traveled all over the country for weeks which she always complain. This woman was holier than most people i know and goes to a different church to her husband's. She started following him only when his office got him a brand new car which she will only enter on sundays. She couldnt stand me seating in front of the new car so she started coming with us to our church saying she has to start riding this car before young girls thinks he is not married!

That means you got the full package Kazeem things. Go back and tell him to undo what he did, apart from the brushes.

Normally, the ECU (brain box) trips a relay which turns on the fans at a particular temperature. This means that the coolant temperature sensor tells the ECU how hot the coolant is, the ECU determines that the temperature is ok or getting out of limit. If getting out of limit, the ECU tells the relay to switch on fans for more cooling. And once the temp is in comfortable range, the fans go off. That cycling is not fixed with time. Dont forget that when driving at high speeds or in rain, gust of air is stronger and helps cooling so the fan is less needed. Thats one part of the many reasons that a car traveling at highway speed consumes less fuel than the one driving city speed.

Your mechanic thinks engineers are dummies so he thinks he has done better but actually worst. Your electrical fan takes up current from the alternator to work, while your alternator takes power from the engine and the engine gets its power from fuel. That means you will use a little more fuel if your fans are directly connected by jumping the fan relay wires (what your mechanic did. This is apart from the open loop (more fuel consumption) you will get from removing the thermostat. Meanwhile, if your fans are to last 3 years, it will now fail prematurely say 1.5yrs from working twice as hard. It could over heat during a long trip, burn itself or its plastic casing and you start changing fans.

Just put back the thermostat and leave the double cell radiator in. The thermostat will help you in managing the fact that you have a more efficient radiator. Also make sure your fan is not wired directly running full time.

To educating you, do you know why atlethes warm up before a race? Thats why the thermostat is there. Its basically a warm up tool. The fan and radiator and both over heating prevention tools. That means, in order to have a proper running engine, you need a temperature range that these tools help you keep. Removing any one means the limits are out of control. Removing thermostat means removing the lower limit to the optimum operating temperature of the engine that leads to excessive fuel consumption and excessive engine wear. Putting a double cell also contributes to eliminating the lower limit. A broken down cooling fan, failed water pump, burnt head gasket, blocked radiator, leaking coolant or any bad cooling system part is removing the upper limit of the optimum operating temperature of the engine, that leads to over heating or instant engine damage.

If you had over heating, you ought to have found the failed part and replace with appropriate replacement part not to start editing the car.

You said "We will resist any attempt to over run the senate". By "WE" i guess you mean Nigerians. Unfortunately for you, Nigerians didnt vote the Senate president. "We" voted for President Mohammadu Buhari. So if you want to refer to Nigerians, i believe Nigerians want this 8th senate leadership to be overrun. If Nigerians didnt want the over running of this senate leadership, "We" would have been out in the streets and the social media protesting. Of course people like you are protesting, we know its hate not genuine love for Nigeria. I encourage you to drop the hate and pray or wish that justice is done in every part of Nigeria.

On behalf of all who made comments, i wish to apologise for our collective sense of humour. We believe that a constant reader of this section should have known better by now. If you never knew, common sense should have told you that the manufacturer of the car isnt crazy for not putting a double cell radiator from factory or delete the thermostat from factory if it were actually a bad thing to the car.

If the mechanic didnt understand the use of those things, find a mechanic who does. If you dont, next the mechanic will tell you is you dont need tires to drive your car and if you complain of bad mileage, he may advice you to put things like camphor or salt in your fuel tank!!!

99% of Nigerian mechanics dont know how a thermostat operates and definitely dont know its fucntion. Technology is getting better and newer cars would not tolerate the abuse. If mechanics dont know and dont seek to know, motorist should know or atleast seek to know what happens under the hood.

Computers › Re: Inverter Users : Lets Have Your Experience by adanny01(m): 10:41pm On Jun 27, 2016
Depending on your inverter/charger settings, low battery or discharged battery should be around 11.3v for a 12v battery while fully charged should be about 12.7v. During charging, your charger should deliver anything from 13.5-15.9v.

If your inverter depletes your battery less than 11v, the life cycle of your battery will be affected as batteries do not like being depleted beyond some point. 10.5v will be a seriously discharged battery.

Hello bro,

Please i have used my inverter now for 6 months but just notice some day ago that the battery doesn't last more than 3 hours again, please is it normal and what should be the next step, it's a mercury tubular battery.

Thanks for your response.
Mercury tubular battery is a flooded (wet) cell battery and is not maintenance free. You shoud find a hydrometer to test the sulphuric acid in it as a first check.

Secondly, get a multimeter and check its voltage after the battery charge is depleted. Then check voltage during charging and when fully charged.
Car Talk › Re: Why The Placing Of A 4-yr Expiry Date For tyres is wrong by adanny01(m):
Tires age dangerously because of a chemical process commonly referred to as oxidation, which simply means that as the tire components are exposed to oxygen, the oxygen particles cause the flexible components of a tire to harden and become brittle. Over time, the tire will simply fall apart under normal stress, just like an old rubber band. Because this process occurs naturally, it does not matter if a tire is being used, stored as a spare, or simply waiting on a store shelf for an unsuspecting consumer.
Blow a baloon and leave it in the sun or just indoors, its just a matter of time before it blows out. Have you imagine why new plastic chairs these days are dangerous to sit but after a year they are strong but a year later they are brittle.

The only thing you should be talking about is how long does it actually take a tire to expire. I have seen 4, 5 and 6. I am no longer sure but i know how to check for one besides the manufacture date.

I have noticed that an expire tire would stain a white cloth. It will show very tiny cracks and wear very fast. It will most likely have tiny bits of it chopped off. It will change shape and become wobbly especially it too much pressure is but in it. All these things i see do not happen under 4years even with the chinese substandard tires.

I agree with you that it will be wrong for FRSC to make an arrest based on the believe that one's tire is expired. How can they proof that all tires expire in 4 years and when it is not written as an offence.

I sympathize with you. You do not understand what is going on around you, but you must talk, hence you pitch sides with the most simplistic side.

Here is what is going on:
1. Mr Ben Murray Bruce borrow money for bank. He use his companies as collateral. The loan is up to 10 Billion naira.
2. Mr common sense defaulted (i. e he did not pay back)
3. Government is taking over the collateral.
Nothing about military era. The people who will suffer the bad loan are the masses. Mr Bruce will not feel the pain one bit. Imagine UBA or Union bank closes because they cannot operate anymore. Imagine the number of poor Nigerians whose money will be gone. Will you prefer this happens or Mr Bruce pays his debt?
The government has done nothing wrong. If Mr. Bruce repays the loan tomorrow, it will be illegal for AMCON to still hold the building.
Infact there is more in between 2 and 3.

2a. Government (AMCON) paid union bank the loan that Murray-Bruce took. This is to avoid the bank collapsing from being unable to pay some people who have deposits in the bank.
2b. AMCON Has to get back their money from Bruce.
