I've tried several times all to no avail

It gave me same result but the second time it opened.

Professor Adam Okene Ahmed seems to be from Kogi State, North Central

Adam and Ahmed in the same name?

Kriss216:
After interviewing 5 Southern professors, namely;

Prof David Oluwatoba
Prof Sunday Olawole Okeniyi
Prof Sydney Chinedu Osuala
Prof Jonathan Maduka Nwaedozie
Prof Adam Okene

They decided to settle with Prof Garba from the Northern Nigeria who is not qualified and wasn't interviewed.

Welcome to Nigeria.

You didn't read well.

All the invited professors commenced the processes which included screening and physical interviews with one Prof Ahmed topping in all of the processes for consideration.

Who is this other Prof Ahmed?

This makes me have doubts on the article itself.

The absence of northerners in the 5 names brings suspicion and my suspicion is confirmed by the name Ahmed, another northerner.

The issue is, Nairalanders would just whip up sentiments with out considering there are truths vs propaganda.

fuckboys:
please how do i solve this?

Try again

Adex2442:
What's this??

I tried again and it work.

Its obvious this thing is dead on arrival.

This is what my NIN and my number showed. I never saw anything on my number.

This means if someone has access to your NIN and phone no, your identity is automatically stolen.

There should be an OTP sent to my number, in that case the person needs me to use it but as it is, i am out of my own identity app.

Thanks but no thanks FG.

Meanwhile, at my friends wedding in Kaduna, after the church wedding the convoy of grooms men and some yoyo bride maids had not arrived the reception venue 2hrs after leaving church.

Even the bride and groom had gone home, ate, refreshed and changed clothes and had arrived the reception.

There were endless calls because even the best man was not there and there was no traffic at all. The reception could not go on without the usual dance entrance.

Apparently, they were all drinking beer at a joint. Omo come see dancing, that reception was lit.

Immediately after the couple sat down inn the reception, we relocated to the club adjacent the wedding hall.

Naija weddings sha.

With a MAF sensor, itt should be a 2005.

Maintainace would be the problem, they better concession it to the private sector because Nigerian have bad attitude to government property.Some people would be planning how to vandalize it now.But massive improvement no doubt ...Oga Ameachi 200Million shekere for you...Oga Buhari can convert it to Naira.If i remembered the early day of this administration when I took a train ride o boy fear go catch you na, but after spending three days from Minna to Lagos I jejeli retired.Don't get me wrong they did attached the oven coach to the first class coach but the rail were bad then but I can see new rail are been build to replace them.My only prayer is that the oven coaches be completely decommissioned ....Hopefully I do visit Minna again and God willing we would enjoy enough peace for me to visit Maiduguri and finally Daura

You said something important, maintenance.

However, even for now, maintenance is not yet the problem but affordability. Nigerians are really really poor and this is not going to solve the transportation issues.

By road, Abj to Kaduna is N1000-1500 to central market.

By train, you are looking at N2500 to get to central market. Besides that, the station is located at Rigasa, a location you would not like to be if their is trouble in the state. The station before that is technically in the bush a very far distance from the town.

What am trying to say is, it doesn't make sense for the poor or even the middle class. The railway may not be patronised by the very people it is intended for. The upper class are above it, the middle class and the poor are below it. Who will patronized it.

If I will spend N2500 to get to my destination in Kaduna by train, my own car consumes N3000 fuel to get to same destination, why will I opt for the train? Besides, with N3000, I have room for 4 more people.

With such low patronage and when corruption sets in, that will be the end.

delpee:
Thanks to GEJ for the initiative and a lot of work done.
Thanks to PMB for continuity.
A big plus for the nation.

Pls don't start what you can't finish. What about Obj and Yaradua. Do you know what they did on these projects?

frozen70:
A woman can't sue for rape because it's assumed the marriage has given the man the right to it

Worst case she denys you access

But she can sue for other things that weren't put in place

Sex even under marriage has to be consensual.

Although being married makes it hard to proof rape especially without the associated forced entry and violence.

Zane2point4:
In that case this is purely an "elephant project"
You must paint am o
We want to learn frm you and you said you might call it off,abeg paint am,whether it turned out good or not,lets learn from it.

White elephant you mean.

The thread is titled, "I am considering....". At no point did mention I must complete the job.

Like I said before, if my spray gun will not do a good job, I will pull the plug. I have not had time to test it, but will soon. Since my front bumper is going off, I will get little paint and clear coat to test the spray. If the output is nice and smooth, we are game.

Johnsonkeyz2019:
carried a lot of persons today with my HONDA PILOT 2003 to the wake keep of my Grandma but was shocked how the Tyres bent as if they wanted to fall lolz

The Nissan Pathfinder that we left together with same load just bent low but the Tyres didn't bent side ways

What could be the Cause What is faulty ....or is it normal

Your bushings are bad.

9icetoo:
No need to argue with them. Tell them to book you for expired tires and meet you in court to show you where the frsc act of 2007, includes expired tyres as an offence

If you don't argue, they will write worn out tires, hoping you will not go to court.

Once you talk and they understand you know your rights, they will never book you and will end in just an argument.

This is same reason they avoid commercial drivers and go for the gentle people who can easily dip a hand in the pocket.

Praxtech:
Tires don't expire

Tires expire for sure, but they don't have a certain date, time or period to expire.

4 brand new tires of same production date and brand could expire at different periods.

It just pains me that FRSC conclude that 4yrs is the right expiry date when manufacturers clearly would not agree or have not said so.

Michelin recommends 10yrs to change their tires.

Oga seller I no do again oo

This one don murder his employee.

They use a translation software so will not know how horrible their message is.

ALEX182:
I think I will. I even asked him if it was Ebola but he said it wasn't and mentioned West Nile virus. Me I don't know if West Nile virus occured in Nigeria earlier this year so I just kept mute and decided to find out.

The guy is so much in love and part of me feels that this will break his heart and lead him to do something drastic. It's so troubling to me and a part of me just wants to waka far and act like it's not my business but another part is burning with anger at the scammers

Tell him, "if i were you, i would not be sending money to a girl i have not met".

If you can, record your conversation as a simple advice to someone you think is being scammed.

tripoli007:
Truth be told , you created this thread since May ,it is now August when will you start this your paint Job .. A car you have driven for 6yrs , bros na just penny wise pound foolish ,pardon my words ...
A good paint job ,won't cost max 60k is this worth your strength ,time and effort ..

When I buy brake pads for N4,500. It costs me N500 to pay my mechanic to install them. But no, I take it home and install myself. Its not about the N500 installation fee.

80% of the time I wash my car myself. Its not about the N500 fee.

Within this same period that I created this thread, I have painted a car. I have the painter's number to call him?

Do you drive? I guess yes. Why do drive? As in, why don't you hire a driver instead of driving yourself? Its just 40k a month am sure you can afford it. You get what I mean?

In my own case, clearly I can't afford 60k for a paint job, do you want to volunteer? I would gladly, accept and appreciate your offer.

As an update to the thread, I have ordered 2 items and it has been 2months now, no show. Stuffs i ordered February were refunded last month, its not easy to get what I want.

Besides, after my accident, I have bought a bumper, headlight, bumper bracket, inner fender mudliner and engine splash shield. All I need is to drop the car with my panel beater in Jos.

If at any point I cannot proceed as planned, I would have no regrets to call it off. I have seen far more expensive ventures on NL that have not yielded desired results. I know when to quit except if you order me to quit by stepping up right now.

dustydee:
I doubt if the charge of homicide will stick. They should have charged them with manslaughter and reckless/dangerous driving. I wonder why the drivers brother was charged. What could he have done?

The driver's brother owns the car and let his brother who didn't have a license drive.

Unfortunately for the police in this case. They are charging the owner for allowing the driver to drive while charging the driver for not having the owners permission to drive. I am confused at these Police o.

All those charges will not stick. Involuntary manslaughter on the driver, yes and driving with out license is a 10k fine. He has done 4 weeks of his sentence already so case may end up in little or no jail time.

Olayinka777:
Thanks Bro,God bless u!

After my data capture 2 days ago, I got few clarifications.

1. Yes the official fee is N6350

2. You can open the website select renewal, fill your license no/date of birth and update your data if necessary (not all fields can be edited such as name and date of birth)

3. On the section "Do you want to recapture?", apparently, the issues associated with selecting no has been resolved so you can select yes or no, either way you have to show up for approval. If you select yes or no, know that you will be scheduled on another day to recapture and/or pick up the temporary DL

4. Pay on the website using your ATM card or at the bank or any of the option you see. Wait a day till your application status says payment confirmed then print an acknowledgment slip, if possible 2 copies.

5. Attach a copy of the slip and a photocopy of the expired DL and take to your selected licensing office for approval. (The 2nd slip can help you avoid VIO and FRSC as along as payment is confirmed) They should tell you when to check back if you are to recapture or otherwise.

6. Upon approval, you maybe sent a date for recapture and/or pick a temporary license.

I also got a clarification on their charges.

They usually have a printed form for renewal. This form, the internet costs and the text message are all inclusive in this charge. Some MLA charge upto N500-1,000.

In my own case, I paid N200 to laminate the temporary DL.

So total charges should be in the range of N500-N1,200 max. Since some officers will not care if you did everything yourself and still demand you pay like others.

The problem with Nairaland is that so many people write posts when they have no experience whatsoever on the matter.

Only a man knows who his wife is, even her own parents have no idea the kind of wife their daughter is. So if this man says what counters his wife, one of them is known to be lying but its bad too assume its the husband just because he left her or they are poor.

What if the wife actually has bad attitude that he couldn't live with?

The wife is actually beautiful, what if she was disappointed he couldn't provide more.

Saner climes Bro.. SANER CLIMES..

But will plate numbers fade in saner climes? Americans that can sue for anything

Questions for the gods

The least the law makers should do is give me a warning not a fine for their own irresponsibility.

Natmvaa:
Well, very sorry about that experience you had.

Having been with MVAA for quite a while now, it's important we note that driving with faded no plate is an offence because it's meant to be clearly visible especially at night when faced with light ray.
In fact, it's important that your no plate is always visible whether at night or during the day.
Reason is that most times, security agencies may not need to stop you since they can verify your vehicles details with your no plates.

Even the machines mounted for verification of no plates, they won't be effective with a faded no plate.

About the quality of the no plates, I believe there isn't anything that is perfect. No matter how much of a quality you produce a product, it will still loose it's quality in time. So, if you are driving with a faded no plate, please visit any MVAA office for a reprint of your no plate to avoid any harassment from the security agencies.

Hope this helps in clarifying this issue.
Thanks.

No one is saying that a faded plate number is ok.

What I don't agree or feel is injustice is the fine for it and the cost of reprint.

You can retain my drivers license or documents and write a retention note to reprint the plates but not fine me as well as ask me to pay for reprint when the initial fault was not mine.

It is gross injustice.

In saner climes, you get a warning. But here everything ends up a fine.

ndcide:
Na to find oil paint do am na?

Na tampering of plate number be that, that one na 10k! LOL

Nigerian has gone to the dogs already.

bolaayenimo:
Are u afraid of mentioning his name?

Youk know of course he can't. You of all people know how hard they will come for his head.

debola33:
All of you saying mummy's boy so the excuse the guy gave is not ok? Instead of wasting money for rent won't it be better the man divert such money to building thier own house? The truth is most ladies don't want thier husband mother around them, forgetting one day you too will become a mother. I stayed in my parents house for like a year before I moved to my own and we all lived happily as one family infact my wife became more closer to my mum than me.

Your mum is a good woman likewise your wife.

You don't wanna take that risk if it were another case. The damage is forever.

Men are easy but women!

Is My Sister Doing The Right Thing? Please Your Advice Is Needed

Advice needed
Don't mind my typo errors.

My sister cancel her wedding plans all because her husband to~be insists they are going to be living with his mum after the wedding before they will build their own house.

Now,my sister said she won't go on with the wedding plans if he didn't rent an appartment, even if it's face-me-i-slap-you room,she will be okay with it,she won't even mind if the mother come to spend days with them.

Is my sister doing the right thing?

Your sister is actually avoiding trouble, however, she's doing it harshly.

The problem with living with a MIL in her own house is that, that is literally her house. Your sister has no certain rights in her husbands house. It is even worst than being a second wife.

Everything depends on the kind of person the MIL and your sister is.

Outright cancellation of the wedding means your sister may not be head over heels with the guy and the MIL can use it against her. You sister doesn't need to be blunt as the stake has been stacked against her already.

Your sister needs to deal with her MIL directly not through the son. Your sister needs some understanding from the MIL and only she can let the boy go.

When a friend of mine introduced me to betting, I quickly realised its not a profit making venture (the way we do it). I have friends that will bet their entire salary on a game.

Just like a Ponzi, you don't put your savings. You put what you can afford to lose with a smile and not lose sleep.

I decided that N100/day and N400/week is my personal limit and I stuck to that. I did add personal rules and kept to it. This helped me curtail the spending and serial loosing.

I have seen how professional bettors do it and may invest in it sometime but for now, betting isn't even interesting.

Betting is not for everyone.

Next time, a big daddy has a shift lock release button shown below.

When the brake switch fails, just press that button with the key while shifting the shifter out of park. Leave the shifter at Neutral position since the car cannot start at any position other than park and neutral.

You can start the engine and put the shift to Drive or Reverse. You can Drive the car normal until you replace the switch.

I am personally having issues with my brake switch. It happened a month ago when I gave my brother my car. He got stuck and was going to call a mechanic. I told him what to do and he came back successfully. By the time he came back the brake switch started working. It happened again randomly 2 times in the past 1 month.

Note, shift lock release is an emergency feature so one should fix the brake switch since brake lights will be out which is a road traffic violation.
