callmenow: The reportage of the journalists based in our country is diabolical. Gov. Amaechi was asked to use the front gate of his mansion because the back gate is insecure. Which any reasonable will agree to very readily. However, because Gov. Amaechi and the commissioner of police (CP) in the state are at logger heads, advice from the police for his own safety is wholly misinterpreted to show the CP in bad light. This is a non story. It is the silly season where anything goes. The fifth estate should avoid lazy reporting to avoid the inadvertent break down of law and order.

No no no no no!!!!!

You have seriously mistaken the scenerio.

No one, i repeat, no one including the CP has the right to stop a sitting Governor from taking a route of his choice to his officially residence. It is the duty of the CP to make sure Ameachi enters the government house through that route even if Somalian pirates lay ambush waiting to kidnap th governor.

The cp can never instruct the governor. Please rethink!

Even if Ameachi manipulated the event, he is still right and will be sympathized with because he didnt park the police vehicles across the road or order them to park their vehicles.

Joe980: Good day all... what could be responsible for a crv honda 2004 showing gear (2) on the dashboard and the (D) keeps blinking. Note: Gear is on D.
Thanks.

The problem of the 2 showing instead of D could be the selector cable. Move the selector up and down (towards N and towards 3) to see at what point D shows. It may need adjustment or replacement.

For D flashing could be a dirty gear sensor (pressure control selonoid) or its faulty. It could be bad gear oil.

Neaman: Anarchy everywhere..jux becux a Northerner is not the chief Pilot.

I continue to wonder why people would say such things. Do you know why the game is called POLITICS? The Northerners are actually better at it, threats wont change a thing.

Jonathan as well as Atiku and the rest of us (160million) Nigerians have the constitutional right to seek election for president. Nobody can stop anybody! The only difference is the game of politics, who plays better takes post.

At the end of the day, Nigerians will vote to decide who becomes president. Why should someone threaten that Jonathan must be elected!

We are throwing civilization to the dust, Haba!

Though interested, but without a price tag i cannot even call you. The price tag will tell me hw possible my budget will achieve it.

Unfortunate as the situation is, piracy in the nigerian waters increased after a steady decline when Jonathan became president.

Tuco said and i quote 'When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk'.

Whatever they wanted to do, they should have done that long ago. This public showdown does not look good for Jonathan and his underdogs. Obasanjo would have dealt and finished with this guy long ago if it were his time.

I guess even in strenght there is weakness. This guy na bad market, Jonathan leave am na! U don f.ck up already. Me dey wonder ooo.

chukwudi44: Which yeye stakeholders? The bunch of loosers who left the convention ground when defeat stared them in te face? Bros GEJ is already in full control of PDP structure!! The losers PDP can never be recognised by INEC

You are still calling 7 governors bunch of loosers?
Do you know how much votes this 7 governors can cart away by that action?
Did you watch the video this thread is about?
Did you see the presidents face in the video?
Must INEC approve before the 7 governors and their political structures declare support for APC?
Bros, that PDP that GEJ is in full control now faces the greatest threat to its success since its creation.

clint77ng: NL is promoting insults against the president and CinC. All these insults from the west and the north is getting out of hand. Remember, u dont insult God's anointed. If some people try to forcifully change Gods plan for Naija, he may decide to blow up this nation. God never made u majority to intimidate minority. GEJ is the only Naija leader that is working in all the six zones at the same time. R we scared of performers in this country? Is it performance or tribe that gives a second term? 2015 is too far for our breakup.

The bolded part appears to me like a threat.

The north had had a large share of leadership and the majority by population of this country. That is not the reason, i believe, for trying to unseat or insulting the person of the President. The north is aggrieved not with the south south but with the person of the president. Reasons for that are the president's own doing.

Subtitute this president with another south south or Ijaw man and there is a higher chance the north will accept. Ofcourse, its not possible.

The north turned their backs on their own for this president's one agreed term. It would been bad to deny the south south man a chance to presidency which they long longed for. It has now become a sit tight scenerio. The south south didnt use threats in 2011, why now?

honorbule: D oda 2 softwares do dat..

No.

Fire fox will reload. So, if there is connection it shows the page after reloading otherwise it shows you the server not found page instead.

While opera does not reload unless the program's processes were closed. Even at that, all opened tabs are retrieved and reloaded.

Here is a simple test.

Connect to the Internet.
Open both Opera and Firefox (infact open Firefox before opera, opera will open before firefox).
Open Nairaland on both browsers.
Press close button on both browsers and open the applications again with Internet still connected.
Opera will reload Nairaland while while Firefox will take you back to your default homepage.

Now try the process again but at the last step when you close the programs, disconnect Internet and open both browsers.
Opera will give you back Nairaland exactly as you left it while Firefox will tell you 'server not found'.

What is making GEJ's supporters hostile to reasonable arguments? Second comment had no argument but just insult. Wow, even the Buhari supporters that killed and burnt properties were'nt this hostile. I wonder what will happen when GEJ eventually loses the election.

I still wonder why someone so myopic will sit in his village in the south south and think his benefactor has millions of supporters in the North west.

Consolation for GEJ's supporters - No one can categorically claim he will not walk back to Aso villa but so many conspicuous events have transpired that makes his chances hazy, which he should not continue to ignore. The threat to his success are real, the sooner he realises the better his chances are.

GEJ should not be decieved that 7 Governors are irrelevant to his chances. If those Governors donot take away the entire votes of their states, they will certainly take half. With 7 governors that translates to an entire geographical zone or more. Who should ignore that? This does not include those who were never for him and those the opposition will wrestle for assuming they have a credible candidate. Not a single vote for GEJ is dispensable right now!

Feel free to insult me!

I use only opera and Firefox.

For speed, i believe opera is slightly faster. Reason being that firefox consumes more RAM which makes the entire system slower if ur system is already low on RAM.

I use opera mostly for many reasons.

1. Very low data usage. Firefox consumes too much data. With Opera, you can press the back button and you can go through all your pevious pages without reloading or refreshing the pages which saves your data. Fire fox will reload your previous page when you go back. This is my major reason for prefering opera to any browser.

2. Opera shows my browsing speed, upload and download size. This handy if i am to manage 10mb of data for a particular purpose. I also enjoy the feature when uploading files to yahoo which lets me know my progress in detail.

3. You dont need to save a page with opera. You can hibernate and come back to your opened tabs the way you left it even without reconnecting. You can close opera and reopen with all you opened tabs still the way they are.

The only downside is that of support by some applications like orbit grab pro and websites like yahoo and facebook.

This applies to both pc and android. Though point 2 is not available on android.

I wouldnt take side with Jonathan or the opposition at this moment. I will wait patiently to see who APC will field against Jonathan.

What i know is if APC fields some1 like Tambuwal, Jonathan should start beggin at that point.

Jonathan has failed to realise that the opposition has grown incredibly of recent.

Jonathan's supporters need to realise that it is not good for him to be losing influential people. Anybody who under estimates the power of a governor is in for a surprise especially when the governors group together. I wonder why Jonathan still maintains his pose, he needs to be shivering.

2015 will not be a repeat of 2011. Jonathan's popularity has dropped ooo especially in the north. 2011 was a religious war, 2015 will not be, i bet Jonathan that. It will be different.

homesteady: You are a foolish liar!! Sambo is the best governor that kaduna ever had! I was in kaduna during his reign as governor, so I know what I'm talking of

I dont do insults, so would not go down that road with you.

I guess you were a business man in KD. I was a staff of the ministry of works. I supervise his so called contractors. My dad was a commissioner, my mum a Director. There is nothing you can argue with me.

Namadi awarded contracts but had no intention of completing them. They were means to looting state funds! 1 look at a contractor, you know the project will never see the light of day. He did only projects that made him popular and abandon it as soon as it makes headlines. Every thing that made him popular have since been negleted to rot by himself before leaving. The helicopters he bought flew for less than 2 months showing off and that was it. Name them, and i will tell you when it stopped, i bet you the same 3 yrs he was there.

Please say something reasonable and stop passing insults.

Makarfi was the best, were you there? Yakowa was the second best with the small period he was Governor. 'Namadi and Yero are the same person'.

homesteady: Na wa for you oh!! Who brought the locomotive train to kaduna?? Was it not Sambo that started the train transport?? And you call yourself a kaduna resident!! Is it not sambo's picture that is all over the train??

He started quite alright, but stopped almost immediately after hitting popularity. It was a cheap shot to gaining popularity which actually succeeded but he abandoned the project soon after he hit the headlines. The locomotive engines were never serviced and buying fuel was a problem. Everybody knows that Namadi does not easily and consistently release money. So the locomotives broke down 1 by 1. My uncle works at NRC so i know.

It was Yakowa who came in and bought spare parts for the repairs, brought the locomotives back to life. Just when he died, every thing stopped.

The truth is the people of southern Kaduna benefitted most from the project, that's why it is not important to them if it continues.

Loskee: i am a kaduna resident. ...........
what i have to say is that, namadi sambo only tried pitifully to step into the footprints made by gov makarfi when he stepped in as governor. even then, his impact was not felt. it was the late Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa who made the most impact since Makarfi, as evidenced by the functionality of operation yaki, the locomotive train brought back to life, transportation, electricity and tarring of the inner streets in the southern part of kaduna (which had long before now been neglected, left out and sidelined when it comes to allocations).
reliable sources say that 'ARCH' namadi sambo approved a number of projects quite alright, while the frog-eyed Yero was the state commisioner for finance (yero is now kaduna state governor) but the projects were awarded to the wrong guys for the job. they ate the money and delivered nothing. now, yero has been sambo's boy when they were both running the state and awarding million dollar contracts to quacks, which caused the state to run into debt with little for sambo to steal away from the treasury. now that sambo is vp, he is ensuring that all that money stolen by the quacks is given back to him thru his ever loyal yaro boy Yero. that is even why yero is never on seat, he is always in abuja, hiding away from kaduna whose money he is stealing under the auspices of his oga at the top.

all i can offer to this is NA WA OOOOOOOOOOO!
ps.... the ARCH is in quote, because i heard from reliable sources that he doesnt even have a bachelor's degree in architecture. the farthest he got was a measly diploma and he is soooooo quick to stamp the ARCH title to his name. mtcheeeew.

Like i told you to write exactly this. Everybody in Kaduna knows exactly what they are doing.

For the bolded part, he was actually a graduate of ABU, Zaria.

He is not as influential as Atiku was but has been more active because Jonathan gave him some portfolios and other responsibilities which Obj didnt trust Atiku with.

He was the worst Governor Kaduna ever had. I also hear he is milking the state dry through his boy the current Governor Yero. This is the reason why Yero's governorship bears every resemblance to Sambo's.

Just like Jonathan was so slow in his early days as President Sambo was even slower when he was Governor. His contractors were those who just registered their companies with no experience or equipment to do the job. As a result, the few projects he started suffered funding and technical problems while salaries were not paid promptly.

I was told from reliable sources that he centralised entire government financing to his office. All ministries and parastatals could not run without its financial approval from the Governor which crippled their activities. Every thing financial was between him Sambo and Yero who happened to be the Comissioner of finance then. The man, Sambo, is greedy.

After watching this video, whether videoshopped or not, the matter has been settled. He read the address, which means he can read. Non of us can prove he has no comprehension. Constitutionally, only the house of assembly can impeach him but they have no impeachable offence right now. Nothing to invoke from the constitution since they will not be able to prove it.

Therefore, he is the governor.

Anyone who says not can go hug transformer.

weazley: nonsense, I thought frozen chicken was banned a couple of yrs bac? I just bought 2 kilos dis morning,

That is from Otta farm.

FINAL NOTICE: Please pick up your prize from the Fedex office in the state capital you played on the League table. Date: Monday, 26th - 30th August 2013

Got the message above while i was right in front of the Fedex.

I didnt want to embarassed so i didnt enter. I remember sending Name and address. I expected that the text should be specific. I also followed the promo online which you have to send the code on cork so many times to increase points. I sent twice while the highest in my state had more than 2000 points. I knew i had no chance so i gave up.

Seeing that text didnt change my expectation.

The blunt truth is that, only a seasoned, dedicated and honest military dictator can set Nigeria and Nigerians on the right path.

Although, with the current trend, that will not be feasible considering the sanctions the country will face with any military intervention.

Democratically, Nigeria will continue to plunge.

Not forgetting that corruption has found its way into the military already. In no distant future, after corruption has consumed the military as the last lifeline, there will be no going back for the country.

With a single picture that doesnt look like a car in Naija, i cant start bargaining.

Siena: I'm not sure what you're talking about here, you can't "adjust" a hydraulically-operated clutch, it's entirely self-adjusting.

I thought there is an adjustment but the mechanic told me not and tried to bleed air. The clutch stopped working altogether after bleeding. There was no leakage whatsoever.

I didnt anticipate spending 20mins in the garage but ended up spending 4hrs cos the car wouldnt move.

Am coming with 800k seriously!

I had the same problem. The first time. I thought its just adjustment. Immediatly it was adjusted the clutch became worst.

I changed the rubber kits for the 'up and down clutch cylinder'. It was ok that day but went bad next morning. I later changed the down clutch cylinder. I was ok for only a day. Each time it will just work a day and every morning is a tussle to engage gear.

My front brake pads worn out almost completely which i changed, surprisingly the clutch felt different right there and never disturbed me again untill two days ago. I discovered my rear brake pads were worn out. I replaced yesterday and clutch is better.

I dont understand the relationship. Though, the hydroulic tank is for both brake and clutch. I suggest u check ur brake pads if the hydraulic is shared from same tank.

Hondas are not used because of its suspension system especially the rear.

The honda's rear suspension cannot be modified to carry more weight or repaired when bad. There is something to do with the diameter of Honda shocks which is smaller to both Toyota and Nissan and even Mazda.

These commercial drivers sometimes modify the suspensions by doubling the coil spring to carry more weight while there is no allowance for that in Honda shocks. Also, the toyota and Nissan shock absorbers can be opened and resealed once the oil and rubber seals leak. While the VW and Opel shock absorber is very cheap at about N1,500.

I do that and imagine how much craziness is in his/her head.

I sometimes give them the 'uwaka' hand signal or scream 'Akuya'.

NB: Uwaka is 'Your mother' in hausa while Akuya is Goat! You know, goats are very stubborn.
