You must be from the moon.

Is that all you have to say?

gab264:
pdp what.. if u looked at the ballot papers....in that pic you will found out that majority voted for pdp in that polling unit....

This is the funniest set of pics i have seen recently.

It makes no sense.

Scenerio 1: Assuming APC thugs. They disrupted elections and chased away all electorates, tore the ballot papers and were in the process. Does that mean the photographer who is obviously a thug too is dumb enough to tear the papers then take pictures of several of them showing PDP votes. How dumb is he and how dumb are the others to allow that happen.

Scenerio 2: Assuming the thugs are PDP thugs. They disrupted elections and seized ballot papera that were either thumb printed or not. They then thumb printed on the PDP party logo which may or may not have APC votes, they tear them up leaving evidence that it was PDP votes so insinuating APC thugs meanwhile while ita all a set up to look that way.

I simply think it was a set up.

shameseun:
When you can't see the glaring ones, by claiming that naira didn't depreciate. And that you bought fuel at 86.50k at the filling station, and you are happy.
When you are supposed to buy fuel less than that considering the crude price as the ruling party demanded when crude fell to $78.
Do the analysis yourself biko.

I was doing the analysis with someone on this forum. He feels it is mischievious that petrol in Nigeria is sold for N86.50k per litre but in India where Nigeria imports petrol from it cost N200 ($1) per litre.

I couldnt explain the figures to myself as to why we are even buying it that cheap. Before you criticize, please make research.

If Naira depreciated, you would have seen it in the price of goods and services which would have ran inflation really high.

Zaronxpanol:
Thanks all ur 4 sincere advise and suggestions, made up my mind to change d engraved window and rear light, please how much should I budget? Estimated figures are also welcome so dat i can have an idea. NB I dn't need any guys assistance to fix my car... Love u all

Back to sincere advice and suggestions.

Assuming the car is engraved like mine, i counted 8 glasses with 2 side mirrors and 4 lights (head and tail) to change. Assuming your are buying the new low quality chinese parts we have, a budget of 200k may suffice. Adding 1 or 200k to make 400k would enable you sell the car top it up and buy a neater 2008 RAV 4 with no markes or signes it has been use on Naija soil. You dont even have to sell, go to a dealer and trade it off if you really want the swag that bad.

[color=Blue]I read through some of her other posts / threads.

Very messy.[/color]

Reading on and a question keeps bogging my mind, who in his right senses married a girl like her and had the heart to father 2 kids with her.

She thought her beauty would keep a man, just clueless.

I wonder why she had to come here with all the things that should have entertained Nairalanders of Romance section.

shameseun:
The truth is that your comment depicts a brainwashed mammal, lacking analytical ability.

Instead of using your own analytical ability to reply me like a normal human being would have done, you chose to insult me.

I am not going to engage you in name calling but wish you will remove the log in your eyes rather than removing the speck in my eyes.

shameseun:
Please can someone define CORRUPTION for me.
I do not understand the situation now. When corruption was on;
1) People could eat.

2) Had fuel at a lower pump price.
3) Job creation was at least on the increase.
4) Naira had more value.
5) The problem was the led, not the "leader"
6) No much lies. Etc

Now is like the leader has become the problem, and everybody is suffering and smiling.
We need change evaluation ASAP.

1. People still eat, abi you no chop since May 29?
2. 3hrs ago i bought fuel at NNPC no waiting at N86.50k. My tank is full.
3. 2014 Capital budget was N1.1trillion while 2015 was N387Billion. GEJ did that. How can new jobs be generated. Buhari has budgeted N1.8trillion, watch, you will see how it will kickstart the real change.
4. Naira didnt lose value, it was put under pressure by excessive demand of the dollar which GEJ and his cronies stole to fund campaign. Abi Dasuki steal money in Naira, no be Dollar?
5. The ptoblem was "leader GEJ" not the led.
6. Face the truth!

Love Machine:
But why dem Neva arrest one apc politifcians?Na only the people wey steal arms money dictator buhari dey arrest?

U no dey hear or read news. Check out this name, Brig Gen. Ja'afaru Isa, former Kaduna state Military governor friend to Dasuki, from Kano state and an APC member close to Buhari himself.

Tell me what you find.

JaredNomak:
Mumu APC fans will come here to say this clears Buhari corruption war of all witch hunting allegations... But I can't see any concrete reason why his house should be besieged in the manner of not letting anyone in or out. Is any money missing in the Nigeria Custom? If yes, was it traces to him? Nonsense! Deceitful act to deceive the gullible Sai Rehobuhari chanters.

You want to mean "see no evil hear no evil", abi?

Next you will say "stealing is not corruption" and pretend there is no corruption when people like yourself remain jobless the people like Dikko stock money enough to send his entire family into retirement to his 5th generation.

nnachukz:
Now the world can hear this. It could have been better they kept quiet. Well I know they are not the one speaking but Buhari speaking through them. Please can someone remind me the name of the Grand Commander of the Federal Arm Forces? What they are saying is that they can come to your village and kill everybody at midnight, burn down your houses because some people from your village had a problem with them along the road. Even if they killed all of them at the spot, you are still not safe in your house for a case you know nothing about except belonging in the same community with the offenders.

You mean all shiites were killed and all their houses burnt down.

A lot of the claims from shiite and their supporters like you have been exaggerating the event in a bid to attract sympathy or bring disrepute to the president even when he wasnt involved. I dont sympathize with them at all.

megawax8:
adanny01 and lonelydora ........Thanks


but if i may ask, do i need to turn off the engine(ignition) on any of the situations

No, never.

The risks are too much.

1. There is risk of turning key to complete of which in some cases will allow the steering to lock.
2. You will lose powered steering.
3. Servo brakes require engine vacuum to be soft. Brakes becomes hard as soon as you turn engine off.

wwhitewitch:
hmmm bro im still in shock

No you are not. By now you shouldhave caught you breath and given us more details.

How did you find out?
Is the girl mentally stable?
Has the girl developed breast?
Is she in school? Which level?
Does she have siblings older or younger?
Who bathes them?

After this questions have been answered, we will know then if its true or not.

For now, idonblivit!!!

inihood:
FWD, worn rear tires and rain is an extremely bad combination. In the rains, tires with deeper threads must go to the back.
FWD, worn rear tires in the dry season, you can get away with but not recommended.

Thats why i used the word "manage".

megawax8:
Good morning all,

I was driving yesterday and i saw a car that was involved in an accident......the front tire on the passenger side blew out, no lives lost but the car was damaged considerably......some persons were grieving with the car owner while some maintained that the driver was a little inexperienced and then i got to thinking, do i even know what to do in that situation or any car trouble situation sef?

so my good and experienced people of Nairaland, what do one do if say......

1. One is on speed and realises he has a failed brake
2. One is driving and say the tires on any side pulls off (if it can be broken down to each tires, would be super cool)
3. Others can add theirs..

Thanks.

1. Keep pumping the brakes till you stop.
In an emergency that you need to stop to avoid hitting an object, use the hand brake but with very serious caution as that will lead to skidding. My advise is to pull lightly while holding the release button. Most hand brakes are cable operated connected directly to the rear brakes. A functional hand brake doesnt fail when hydraulic brake lines leak.
2. Just control steering to a stop without applying brake or hand brake.
My friend and his neighbour were buried yesterday due to tire burst. My only guess was he applied brakes and probably didnt wear seat belts.
3. Always put brand new unexpired tires in the front. If your must replace 2 new tires put them at the front not at the back. This is why i like FWD, they will allow you manage worn out tires in the rear but RWD needs good tires front and back else you will have rear wheel skidding all the time.

erico2k2:
Great.Now as yoy can see it's imposible to just import fuel at stated cost. An I dan friend of mi e said out of that pump price approx 30rupee is tax.The refinaries in India are private not state owned so that swop deal won t work.I think they have their own refineries where they refine and repatriate the products or they declare more than lifted. So my friend the SCAM is so massive govt shud focus on building not fixing .A new refinary .then they can subsidise on cost of production not importation. So U see in theory they cannot remove the subsidy it's news of distraction. We ain't going to get anything cheap.

What i want you to agree is that Nigeria buys petrol from India and sell to Nigerians for N86.50k without paying a kobo as subsidy. That is a fact they have established. How they were able to buy at the rate they do is a matter of research which neither me or you know right now. The best is to hope we get our refineries before crude oil will go back up.

For long we know the always lift more crude than the records show. That may be this administration's next point of call.

erico2k2:
Great stuff now let's ask ourselves what's the pump price in India?it was $1 last time I checked so in line with global market it's N200.smell scam yet?

You have a point there.

I would only guess that since majority of Nigerian crude ends up in India, they must have reached an agreement. An agreement such that Crude is shipped to India for refining and the cost of refining is paid in equal amount of crude. It is also possible that other range of petroleum products from the crude is kept by the indians. In that case India actually buys its own crude from Nigeria but Nigeria does'nt pay for crude. They just ship to refine, pay and ship back the products. That means India's retail price will include cost of crude oil while our portion does not.

Moreso, theirs will include VAT and alot of other expenses we dont have. You see from the template, there are 3 types of taxes and highway maintenance charges but all with zero charge. India could have charged those and even more.

My only hope for now is for Nigeria to build new refinaries and maintain current ones before crude oil prices go up again.

erico2k2:
Ok u still did not give any answer to the question n ways let me ask where did you hear that the landing cost of petrol was N86.50? Can I ask from.what country you think you can land petrol at that price?let me keep it short.I'm hoping ur answer will be short and straight to the point.U can ask me any question too.

Check picture below. Row no. 25 Column Naira/L pppra.gov.ng/pricing-template-pms-2/

Any questions?

Most of our imports is from india. Coincidentally most of the crude oil export is to india.

erico2k2:
I asked three basic question has nothing to do with GEJ or PMB.from your submission I can state that yoy don't know what the concept of su side is.no offence meant with all due respect.most people know the meaning but not the concept.Let me draw you near.Subsidy is the only thing the govt seem to give us without cost to us but to them.Nothing else so U want that taken away?
If the subsidy is removed we will buy petrol at above N200.they import not from Africa but Asia ie Saudi or south America ie venuzuella. Now the cost is $1 to fill your tank there subsidy in venuzuella is %70.@ production not importation so in theory the production cost there would be close to $0.50.in today's money that N100.by the time it gets here it would be X 4.so your guess is as good as mine only if the fg fix the refineries then Yeh they could remove the so called subsidy mayB cost of production might be N120 and they can sell N180 including VAT

Dont say i dont know just because i didnt answer your question the way you want it.

What is subsidy in relation to petrol?

Assuming the total cost to deliver petrol from a refinery in India to my car's petrol tank including profit and transportation is N100/L. If government instructs the marketer to sell to me at N87, N13 will be paid to the marketer as subsidy on my behalf. N13 is a free gift per litre to any one buying petrol orderwise called subsidy.

The problem comes in when i buy 50L in which government needs to pay the marketer N650 as balance of his money but the marketer claims i bought 100L. Government must now pay N1,300 because government's monitoring officals either failed to do their jobs of monitoring what is actually delivered or decided to partake in the fraud. Its not easy to properly monitor and prevent the fraud, it is best to remove the subsidy since N13 wont kill me. After all subsidy benefits the rich more than the poor. A rich man has more cars and more trips to make. He runs more fuel consuming vehiles with full loads having disregard to economy. A rich man may require 50L per day but certainly not a poor man that doesnt have a car. That means the rich man can collect N650 worth of fuel free of charge daily and the poor man that needs such incentives or discount cant claim it. The rich man flies but the poor man travels by road. Is'nt it better for the poor man if the roads are fixed with subsidy funds than on fuel where the rich has more purchasing power.

Lastly, landing cost of petrol was recently calculated to be N86.50k. If we pay the same amount at the pump, how much is subsidy? Zero. We all know the value fluctuates + or - N86.50. The template now is that if the landing cost drops to say N85.50, we still pay N86.50 and they now have negative N1 subsidy which is saved for future situations where subsidy will be positve N1 and government pays with the savings.

In this case government doesnt take money from its coffers to fund subsidy. The aim is to give the pump price a little stability instead of changing price every other week. We will now see more frequent pump price change than before. Its good for me ass long as government agents dont use the subsidy as a means of fraud and rich people benefit from it more than the poor.

This will continue until such a time our refineries can produce to our consumption rate. The cost too will significantly drop since we will not pay for off shore transportation or taxes involved or foreign exchange. Government can even decide Nigerians pay cost of refining, local transportation (cheap if by pipeline) and profit for pumping stations.

Analyst believe that there may not be a significant increase to the price of crude in 2016, so we should expect that for now the pump price will fluctuate witin its present range.

After our wedding we used to walk inside the house naked especially after shower. Now we have 2 children and a 14yr old house help so we dont. She travelled for xmas so we were left with the boys 2 and 4. The helper isnt around so after shower i stepped to the living room looking for my body cream which i saw last with the 2yr old. I held my towel and was still wiping water off myself. My older son saw me naked from behind and said "see daddy's bum bum". He added "biiiig bum bum!".

My wife and I laughed like we go die.

Kassidy90:
You might be right from a perspective and d same time be wrong from another....but from my own perspective i believe i made a smart move coz i know myself, my worth and my plans more than anybody

Different strokes for different folks.

I know a man who earned very little and was saving all his life building a house. Upon retirement, part of his gratuity was used to complete the house with furniture. I was shocked that he built the house.

However, the house came at a price. He never drank beer all his life nor socialised where he may need to give money to friends or family as assistance. He lived in a house with least possible rent and bills. There was access to public utility such as electricity or water but he refused to subscribe. He live in darkness in a place well electrified. He had no TV but just a small transistor radio. He ate very little and luxury such as meat or fish were only for special ocassions. Children attended public schools only.

His family grew up in such conditions that when i dated one of his daughters, she cared nothing about living a good life. She watches no movie nor tv programmes, listens to no music, read no novels, magazines or newspapers only schoolbooks and textbooks. She has no dress sense, cooks mostly local food, detest cereals and beverages. Her psyche was affected.

She was loving but boring. I quit the relationship because i saw no future in the relationship and would never want to live like her or have my children grow up same way.

At the end, he had his dream house still with no TV. He is retired, above 60 and a beautiful house. When he dies, his children would be happy to inherit their fathers house and his way of life. Life rotates another generation with no pleasures of living on earth.

I am not here on earth to build a house. So building a house cannot top my priority throughout my life. I cannot sacrifice the wellbeing of my children over a house. We will live one day at a time, making choices and balancing between luxurious and basic needs. I live to have the best of everything not a house. My kids must develop well, watch kiddies channels, sleep on good beds, wear good clothes, eat balanced diets, visit the parks, lick ice cream and go to the best schools. If at the end i cant afford a house so be it, i hope my children live a good life and own a house. My gift to them will be a good life not a house.

A Hausa saying goes, "ba rakiya na zo yi a duniya ba". Meaning, i did not come to earth as an escort. The challenge is cutting my coat to my size.

whitecloth:
Very good bro, but don't you think this will look as if we are on Iran side in the view of the global community? to them it will look as if we are bowing down to there pressure, and more so, there can't be any solidify assurance that el zakzacky will be in exile over there, he'll surely become a hero, and Saudi won't fund it funny to us knowing fully well we have more part in Saudi than Iran.
What's your view ?

Apart from that, which part of our laws will the president use to voluntarily release a suspect into exile.

I am bewildered to see how we analyse our internal issues with an international view.

Shiites in Zaria were known for breaking every law they find. It is the right thing for the military to cut them to size.

I dont believe it when some people insinuated Saudi Arabia is responsible for fueling military attack on the Shiites. I dont think Iranians asked the Shiites to block the road while i also dont believe Saudi's asked the Army to attack. If it is neither of the two, Iran and Saudi have no business in our internal affair.

Kassidy90:
Well said, find myself in a similar situation early last year i have an uncompleted house then i hit some cash so i was planning to buy a car then my GF n my frnds adviced me to spend the money on the house though it can finish it but it was ceiled n roofed tnk God i heeded to their advice, where am going is that now am damn broke anytime i passed tru where my house is or remember that i have someting like dat somewhere i will just smile...had it beeen i bought d car then almost a year nw it would have depriciated.
We really need to plan well before we spend the li2 naira we re getting..

That suits you.

There are certain businesses that you have to put an appearance to get a deal. I have been to places where driving in gives you automatic admitance but those who took taxi or walked to the gate are turned back. Your type of car even matters.

Trust me, some big clients have to see you are above certain levels, your house wont speak for you in that case.

Its not all the time that investing in landed property is the best investment. Ones personal appearance could bring good business. A good perfume can give you opportunities you wont believe. Your lack of car can make you late to an appointment that could have given you the opportunity to buy a 2 houses.

vizkiz:
you stopped making sense after the bolded. And to add to that point. Paying rent isn't spending unnecessarily. It's a mandate if you don't wanna be thrown out of the house

Getting a car comes along with expenses he can't afford. Think with your eyes if your head is currently scrambled dude

You are not wise at all. The guy already lives in a room/palour, why do you think he is dumb because he bought a car instead of upgrading to a more expensive 3bedroom flat. What does he need a 3bedroom flat for.

You should say he is dumb for planning to move to a 3bedroom instead of 2 bedroom.

vizkiz:
I never mentioned I gave a furck about you or your rich boyfriend who just got the latest car in town

I just aired my opinion about fools using their life savings to get something worthless

If you think a car is worthless, i hope you dont drive one and would never drive one in you lifetime. If you do, shame on you.

vizkiz:
yeah, my opinion. But do you know stuffs like this is the reason why the rate of "futureless" youths in town increase each day?

I believe wealth is made not earned or prayed for like our religious people in Nigeria here do. You are praying to God for blessing and yet the one he blessed you with, you utilize it wastefully on unnecessary items.

Concerning the going to work late. Year you have a point there but still that isn't enough reason. If you work in VI and you are living at ikorodu, your IQ (if you have any) is suppose to tell you that you should get a place closer (if not the vicinity) to your work place. This is just common sense

Just like my comment above, if i work in VI i should pay say 2m for a house closeby when the same house cost 500k in Ikorodu. Is'nt that dumb especially if my salary is1.2m/yr.

Stop assuming things you dont know.

vizkiz:
do you know why it will take longer time for you guys to make it?

It is because y'all dummies keep engaging yourselves in unnecessary expenses. What do you need a car for in the first place when you can't even afford a house on your own?
I think people are suppose to get wiser but instead y'all keep getting stupi*d by the day

A man who can afford a car, why on earth do you think he cannot afford rent?

When you stay in places like Abj, will you choose to pay 1.5million on a 2bedroom flat every year or pay 300k for the same flat 30km from town and buy an 800k car while the 400k balance is used for fuel. The real saving comes when after one year the man in town pays 1.5m again and the man outside still has his car and pays only 300k as rent. Who saves more? What about following years?

There are situations where a car is a priority and would lead to savings.

StPete:
Not wishing him bad buh if that car gets snatched, I'm sure his senses will come back to why he didn't get his apartment first. The ways some guys reason...

She said moving to 3bedroom. Is a 1bedroom flat not an apartment? Do you know where he lives now that you assume he doesnt have an apartment?

vizkiz:
[b]I thought I was the only one who noticed how dumb the nigga is. Like getting a car before an apartment? Who thinks that way

Well, I thought people are suppose to learn each day but it seems the youths of this generation keeps getting dumber.

The major reason why it's gonna take a long time before average youths of this generation make it big is because we keep investing on unnecessary items.

Believe me I know that nigga is poor because he can't even afford cash to get a car and an apartment at the same time according to the OP's illustration...(chicken change for yahoo guys)

For a single guy in his category, what is the big deal if he gets an apartment (2bedroom flat) and use the other cash to furnish his apartment. But instead he acted like a dummy he is and went along to get a car (don't tell me it is because he really needs it. It is because he wants to cruise around and form "big boy" shey?) a car that can break down tomorrow and the amount you will use in repairing it will be thousands of naira. These guys no get sense again

Smh... Well, his money, his headache... Just wish the ladies of this generation are wise enough to read out how a man's financial destiny is structured [/b]

Did she tell you the guy is homeless or doesnt have furniture? Do you know if he has a 1bedroom flat but is now planning to expand to a 3bedroom flat?

Do you know that in places like Abj, people travel as far as 100km to and from work every day? For such people a car is a necessity if they can afford the cost.

Your assumptions on the guy is seriously flawed.

mostyg:
Just being curious, how did you know?

Exactly, how did op find out.

I want a picture of the girl in her birth suit or idonblivit.

15yr old must hv fully developed breast if she is normal.

Your understamding of economics is woeful.

Where is your understanding. You are critisizing someones opinion without your own counter opinion.
