zikter:
One becomes so disappointed in our youths when reading comments on nairaland like now. I wonder if this shameful display of ignorance is deliberate or due to lack of knowledge. Many people here don't even know jack about basic things concerning law. How on earth should Hope start proving the originality of his documents or otherwise? It was the responsibility of the respondents, INEC and PDP to prove they are not original. But many mentally lazy people here would rather make you believe what is wrong. this is so sad

Reading this thread almost brought me to tears. Nigeria's educational system is shiit.

truthfulparrot:
My take is that INEC deliberately refused to provide strong evidence to prove that the results were fake in order to pave way for the embarrassing judgement by the supreme court..

The desperation of the Supreme court to give IMO state back to APC is a pointer to the fact that the North is not ready to relinquish power in 2023. Instead they are strategizing to form alliance with the South East in 2023. They will dangle the carrot of VP to Southeast who will be willing to take anything to spite the Southwest.

The Southwest Politicians are not sleeping, they came up with Amotekun in preparation for 2023. The North Strategists are aware of the politics behind Amotekun that is why they are crying foul.

There are difficult times ahead.........Things are falling apart!

You are talking from 2 sides of your mouth.

1st, you believe INEC deliberately refused to provide strong evidence to counter Uzodinma

2nd, you believe Supreme court is desperate to give Imo to APC

Am sorry to say, you need to pick 1 or 2 and hold on to it as they dont go together.

If INEC orchestrated this, then Supreme court is not to be blamed. If Supreme court did it, INEC is not to be blamed.

My take is that this is not a blame game, it is tampering (rigging) of results gone bad.

INEC has a total result which isn't wrong to have, but ground roots of the polls were edited as collation went on. Results of polling units were doctored during collation leaving evidence of polling unit duplicate sheets. These polling unit result sheet are not fake so INEC could not proof it fake. Those results showed that someone, decide to delete votes belonging to Uzodinma in several places. Without a proof of the polling sheets being fake, supreme court must add those deleted results back to him whether they were actually fake or not. Hence the outcome.

Esseite:
INEC which conducted the election said the result is fake with evidence, but the supreme court which had no business in the election said it's not fake and the evidence submitted would not stand even with votes count more than accredited voters...

Supreme ice-cream indeed.

Some times i wonder if comprehension is that hard.

Uzodinma went to court with duplicates of the polling result sheets. Ihedioha and INEC as respondents said the results brought by Uzodinma were fake, it is Ihedioha and INEC that will provide proof that the results were fake but they both didn't. That means the results are not fake. They left the supreme court with only one option whether right or wrong. The option was to include the results Uzodinma brought to court if no one can proof it is fake. So Uzodinma with the new votes won whether fake or not. The real blame is on Ihedioha and INEC lawyers or that INEC had deliberately omitted the results belonging to Uzodinma in those polling units.

I just wonder if Nigerians have comprehension issues.

Half a kilometre is 500metre- longer that the standard quarter of a mile.

This journalist shares the same sentiment i have been trying to pass across. My English writing isn't good enough.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.autoblog.com/amp/2016/09/02/zero-0-60-mph-performance-is-overrated/

My point all along, use what you have to compare. Stop discrediting the basis of comparison when you don't have a more suitable option.

You first discredited the times by calling it "magazine times", now its the 0-60mph test as a yardstick you are discrediting.

I fully get your point but i dont agree with it. Variables is what you are talking about, these variables were taken cared of by various testers as best as they could. If their time is not good enough for you, why not give us your own times. But you cant have it, so use the magazine times till you can buy both cars, reduce those variables as best as you can and give us your own certified result.

HeavenlyBang:
Lol, it's still silly af to compare that Honda to a BMW. Trust me, after 60mph, the 330i will catch up to and completely destroy the Accord.

Last time you prefer quick to fast. Do you wish to change it now if the Accord is quicker than the BMW?

HeavenlyBang:
Quick anytime anyday. I rarely go over 150km/hr these days but it's the hard acceleration up to that point that makes the car a joy.

yungboss:
What is painful is you still fail to understand my position.

So it has not ended

myfireannihilat:
Here you have it

These are "magazine times", real times the BMW will always be better, so they will say!

yungboss:
6.6s? It is 6.7 on Edmunds and 6.3 on Motortrend...so it depends on which magazine you checked...this goes to prove what I'm saying...so believe anything you want...

My closing statement.

There are 3 times above, all belong to the BMW.

If you were really interested in fair comparison, you will look at what Edmunds time for the accord is, what Motortrend time for the Accord is, then compare each of them to the BMW. You will even do more research but you are afraid of what you will find. If you criticize those who drove both cars extensively, what makes you sure you have an idea of the 2 cars?

You are just bent on discrediting any report with or without supporting facts that an Accord could perform better to an almighty BMW.

I so submit. Adios amigo.

yungboss:
6.6s? It is 6.7 on Edmunds and 6.3 on Motortrend...so it depends on which magazine you checked...this goes to prove what I'm saying...so believe anything you want...

Which one do you believe?

yungboss:
Your answer to the bolded is this:

You don't just pick a bmw f90 m5 and an e63 amgS and think that because there is a 1 or 2 sec difference between them (irrespective of which is faster) according to magazine test, the bmw will not match the Merc or vice versa...
Or you pick a lexus is350 and an infiniti g37...you flip the magazine pages, evoke stats and see a 0.3 difference in the 0-60 or quarter mile times, then you have a virtual race winner and may want to relate it to reality...it doesn't always work.
[b]I found a fault in your statement- that the bmw or mercedes of the era is no match for the 2006 v6 accord...this isn't entirely true. [/b]You perhaps got the power numbers wrong as evidenced in your earlier. Check the stats properly before you make statements...

Note: I never said anything relating specifically to a BMW driver being the better driver. I stated my opinion or a neutral basis

You actually miss quoted me.

Benz and BMWs of the same class will not keep up.

These are my words.

Is a 2006 Accord 2.4L in the same class with a BMW 335i? 328 and 330 yes.

If i did say same "era", that would put the 2006-7 Accord against all BMWs of the 2006-7. Imagine me comparing a 2006 Accord 3.0L V6 with a 2006 BMW M5 5.0 V10.

It is your assumption that has taken you there not my comments which you misunderstood.

Secondly, you don't appreciate the effort the professionals who actually spent time, money and risked their life to give you and I an average time these cars perform on their tracks. You seem to say it is absolutely irrelevant without you being in say 3 or 4 of such cars yourself.

you flip the magazine pages, evoke stats and see a 0.3 difference in the 0-60 or quarter mile times, then you have a virtual race winner

. If you think its a virtual race, can you with facts tell us which car is better if you have never driven them. Why do you choose to dismiss the one who actually drove both cars on a race track and controlled the variables the way you would never ever have done. Do you have a race track to compare? If you dont, you should never compare cars cos you dont believe anyone other than you self believe.

Thirdly, you persistently made mention of a good driver as if that was the only variable thing needed to defeat the accord.

All I have been doing is to get you to logically look at the facts but no, i dont think you believe in facts, you cling to hear says better. A BMW is just a better car so you will never accept a Honda being faster.

I just lectured a friend some days ago who has for years refuse to eat Semolina but eats whole wheat meal saying the wheat meal is meant for people like him who have a family history with diabetes. The question i asked him was what is the Semolina and what is whole wheat meal? They are both the same thing from same plant. Semo is only the endosperm while whole wheat meal is the whole wheat seed. He doesn't like yams and prefers unripe plantain. The nutritional value says unripe plantain has even more carbohydrates than the yams he was running from. I left him in disbelief of the so may myths he had used to limit his diet while not checking the facts himself.

A lot of Nigerians just follow myths and I think you follow such myths.

yungboss:
You already have a notion about my comment hence you did not even read/understand my last paragraph...
Corrections:
The 330i has a naturally aspirated engine, the 328i puts out factory numbers of 230hp and 200lb ft of torque..

I do not discredit magazine times and I do not wish to stick to the notion that BMW is faster, rather you stated that the bmw and mercs of that era are no match for the 2006 accord v6- wrong sir.
The 2006 330i is a direct comparison to that car...and going by magazine times, it beats the accord by almost a full second upon completing the 400m stretch...
What I'm simply saying is this-

5.8s vs 6.0s, 14.1 or 14.3s...these are close numbers which may not be noticeable in the hands of good drivers...throw in a g37 in the mix then you have that clear cut difference...
It's like comparing a 2010 g35/g37 to an e90 335i and someone goes on to say "the g37 does not match the 335i in performance- False.
They can go to to toe...for such close numbers, magazine times may not reflect on true practical situations. My position from the beginning.

My question to the bolded is why? Driver? BMW always has a better driver or what exactly? You emphasize of "a good driver" as if those who drive a Honda cannot drive. Is it that a Honda driver cannot just put the pedal to the meta?

I may be wrong about the 330i mixing it up with the 335i but considering your assertions, i went back to check. The 330i (manual transmission) did the 5.7s while the auto did woefully 6.6s.

Considering that Manual and Automatic of the same car had so much difference (fact), i just wonder why you didn't notice the accord is an Automatic? What is your basis for comparison really, cause I think we use different basis.

yungboss:
Hey bro,
You 're not correct in certain aspects. The 328 and the 330 both have same 3litre engine displacement; one has more horsepower.
I agree they have all been magazine-tested...
When i stated "on the streets", I meant reference to realistic conditions- what tyres do you have on?how well do you know how to operate the machine? are we picking up speeds at the same time e.t.c.
The 0 to 60 time is not constant, it is only an average (as you stated)..and perhaps will not be the same as what Car and Driver captured (especially)as the cars are over 10 years old...go on YouTube and see what I mean. There's a video where a stock 328i ran with 2006 accord v6 and you will not find such a vast margin in speed as you referenced.
That 328i has only 230hp...the 330i is a 255/268 3litre version of the same engine.
Accord or bmw running 5.8/6.0 Will not be the same everywhere and everytime especially after (over) 10years of operation.

Go on a closed strip, time your accord or bmw and launch, let's see how consistently you hit 5.8s. I'm stating my opinion as objectively as possible.

My bad.

The 330i is a 3.0L Turbo charged engine. You still should not compare it with a naturally aspirated 2006 Accord. 328i is its mate but produces 215HP while accord produces 244HP. The accord has less weight at 3237 against BM's 3351lbs. This gives the Accord a clear power to weight ratio advantage.

That been said, when you ask what tires the Accord has, driver experience etc, these are variables which you have not even scratch the surface. We can start listing more, eg fuel level, passengers or extra load, tire pressure, wind direction and speed, altitude, atmospheric pressure, atmospheric temperature, humidity, track conditions, other mechanical issues with a specific car etc. If we continue listing these variables, there will never be a point where we will compare one car to another. But we have to, won't we? From the list you seem to believe that the accord will be driving on a low speed rated tires or having an inexperienced driver. That is wrong assumption from you.

"Magazine times" are tested by professionals who try to eliminate the effect of these variables. They take one car, empty the tank put a specific type and quantity of fuel, put their testing equipment in the car drive round the till car gets to operating temperature. Drive the car say 5 laps, take average time. Repeat the same process with same driver making sure all atmospheric conditions are almost equal.

What bewilders me is your insinuation that "magazine times" are unreliable. You just want to stick to a notion that BMW should just be faster than an accord.

When we do street comparison, we should assume all things being equal. Everything being equal, a 2006 Accord V6 should beat a 2006 328i based on facts available. Therefore, unless you have both cars to test yourself, i think you should accept it and not to make excuses.

If you think the accord will not hit 5.8s what makes you think a 328i will hit 6.0s? If you think accord has bad tires, think of the 328i with bad tires too! If you assume a 10yr old accord, assume a 10yr old 328i too!! If you think of a bad or good accord driver, ditto!!!

yungboss:
Too close to call, on the streets? You guys are using magazine time in your analysis, this does not truly work on the streets...you have not factored in-gear acceleration...that 328i you mentioned 'can easily outrun' the accord. I said this because the gearing in that car is very good...tuned for sporty driving. The e46 330i too is a little rocket...I don't know how the Honda picks up speed between gears.
So the point is, all those cars are fast...to say that "Benz and BMWs of the same class will not keep up" is an overstatement.

These are times that professionals have actually test driven these cars and have taken average from different runs while controlling different variables to eliminate errors. These are not brand advertising times. Am sure its your biased mind that will cause you to say magazine time even when the truth is bare.

The reason I used only the 328i in comparison is because it has the same engine size to the Accord. 330i is a 3.5L engine while the accord is a 3.0L engine. Same reason I used the MB C280 instead of C350. Honda has 2 engines a 2.4L straight 4 and a 3.0L V6 while the MB and BM have well over 5 engines on each model. To compare, you need to pick the similar sized engine.

Gear ratio or not, the cars have been time tested outside brand testing facilities so you dont disregard "magazine times" because you feel it goes against your better judgement. Do your own research and find facts to counter the claims.

Oliver Twist


@Bolded, I just learned that. I also did some comparisons. While The Accord 03- 07 had a top speed of about 209kmph, the BMW 04 - '10 reaches 249kmph. although there's a difference of 0.5 secs in their 0 - 60. Considering that while ignoring other considerations like maintenance and styling, I think I'll still go for the BMW because from takeoff the difference will be bumper to fender but at about 100kph and above, I'll begin to give that honda a lot of space.

The bolded speed is for race tracks, how would you get there on the highway. That makes that speed irrelevant on the street if the car cannot boast of a 0-60 time to beat its competition since the car runs out of space before it can unleash its true potential (above the 60km/h).

To catch up and even overtake, a car with a bad acceleration needs a long straight which BM will not get. The second advantage of the BWM (corners) will still be irrelevant since its not a race track where you expect to take on bends at 200km/h and the competition is expected to slow down for safety.

At 60km/h Honda is ahead. At 100km/h, you are starting to close the gap, at 160km/h you are catching up, at 180km/h you have caught up but run out of straight road. Any take off again, the Honda opens the gap again. You keep repeating the same thing but staying behind.

Acceleration is king in real life driving.

nurey:
The 3.0L V6 in the 03 to 07 Accord time is 0-60 in 6.5secs, faster than most Benz V6 in it's era reason why it is said to be a speed demon.

I prefer Acceleration compared to speed cause in real life and games, acceleration tops in uncontrolled environment in car racing.

It's only in a controlled environment that speed tops acceleration.

The Ford GT is a speed demon almost 350km/h for it's topspeed, but it failed woefully in the acceleration aspect so it's a bench warmer now in sports car lineup

Actually, the speed demon is 2006-2007 Honda Accord V6 with a 0-60 of 5.8s. The 2005 has 6.5s while the 2003 has 7.1s. 2003-5 engine is J30A4 while 2006-7 is J30A5.

This car will dust even its own successors.

I agree with you on acceleration over speed. Its not like we have 200km/hr roads so acceleration is king. Once a car gives you a 1km gap with such acceleration, catching up is a suicide attempt in any Nigerian road.

Benz and BMWs of the same class will not keep up. Imagine a 2007 MB
C280 Sport doing 7.1s or a 2007 BMW 328i doing 6.0s. BMW has a chance but not Benz. To beat this accord you need a 330 or 335 BMW or C350 and above Benz.

Can one buy a used one as replacement... O2 sensor I mean?

Yes you can, but its complicated.

I went with a scanner, tested about 10 before I got a responsive one. The sensor is very sensitive.

One of the things to check is that the sensor itself must look exactly like the one in the car and exactly the same length of cable and the sensor must not have any sign of force on its body. Dont pay until it is tested. The one for a V6 has longer cable but will work.

Greetings to all the wonderful contributors here
Please your help is seriously and urgently needed.
I just confirmed my catalysts converter was stolen. It's a 2004 accord i4 ex.
Two weeks ago I was having terrible hard-starting, my electrician fixed the fuel pump and discovered the fuel tank is filled with lots of water and mudlike substance. He recommended a nearby mechanic I never used before to remove and wash the tank which was done.
For the next two weeks I had terrible fuel consumption. Trips of 3 fuel weekly became over 8k. And a terrible shattering sound was steadyly increase by days. I thought it will clear but became worse. I google it yesterday and confirm it's a stolen catalysts symptom. I confronted him, and after several attempts to derail and denial, he became remorseful and pleaded that I bring back the car first thing in the morning that he will "correct the wrong''. He never categorically admited he stole it. But his colleagues are witnesses and begged in his behalf not to have him arrested or escalate the matter.
I need professional advice, what is the best measure I should employ to have my car back in shape without suspected deceptive and temporary fix

Missing catalytic converter will not affect fuel consumption to that level.

Most times its a bad Air/fuel ratio sensor. I just recovered from that same issue.

In my case, it was Air fuel ratio sensor and knock sensor. I also tried to change my fuel pressure control valve but didn't get the right one so i clean the one inside. My fuel consumption is down to normal.

You should confirm with a scan.

AceRoyal:
I understand you points and perspective BUT
Are you saying the government is different from the people?
Are you trying to subtly exonerate the government?

A fish gets rotten from the head and not the other way round.
The masses have a share in the blame but the government has the greater share.

While you drive home your point in castigating the people, be fair and do same to the government.

Most people act the way they do because they see how power drunk government officials are and tend to follow their example unconsciously in their everyday lives once given a bit of power or when they find themselves in positions of power because they feel it's the right thing to do based on glaring examples.

Most of the things you wrote up there can be attributed to one major factor.... POVERTY!

Is the government not directly and indirectly responsible for the prosperity or poverty of a nation?

The government is by no means better than the people, they're worse because their actions and inactions reflect in the lives of the people and gives credibility to the points you have raised.

Nice piece though.

With regards to the fish analogy, democracy is government of the people, by the people and for the people. Government is about the people. If the people are corrupt, the government will be corrupt. If the government are corrupt and the people are not, the people will not allow the government to exist.

In this case, the fish is Nigeria, the people is the head not the government. The government is the organs of the fish that.

OruExpress:
And this goes for all governments including Buhari's.

Ask yourself why state workers are the only workers in Nigeria that at guaranteed minimum wage, benefits and vacation, while everyone else is not 100% sure they will be paid for years of work in the private sector. Unless of course they find a job with a foreign company in Nigeria, but at that point what is the differentiating factor other than working for a Nigerian. The rest of us, if we can find work, are subject to nepotism, rape, beatings, humiliation, degradation, insults, to the point that the average Nigerian is employed be someone who treats them worst than an enemy ever could.

This example is small. Buhari is wicked, incompetent, and lawless. But does this differ from the average pastor, iman, lecturer, police officer, husband or even parent? Anytime the greater bulk of Nigerians are given authority, the concentrate their energy on making others feel less than or trapped. At least Buhari is looking out for Fulani people all over West Africa. Who can the average wheelbarrow pusher tell you he's looking out for? What the little authority he has as a wheelbarrow pusher he will hit as many legs as possible, and argue with anyone that objects to the pain. He will damage people's clothes and frustrate them to that small but consistent extent that he can. If you give this person an army and oil budget, what will he do? The woman that beats and degrades her 'house girl' (slave) at every given chance... what will this person do if asked to tend an entire country of poor people?

As much as we want to blame the government for Nigeria's problems, the truth is we excel at creating pain and frustration for each other. Countless Nigerian homes are staffed with fathers who's income begins with their hand and ends with their stomach alone. Many parents cannot keep valuables in their house because their own children will steal it. Most pastors, when given a chance to speak will focus on creating animosity and paranoia from their followers. The hear more prophecies than all of the prophets combine, and declare and decree more than Jesus ever did. Go to a Nigerian church and all you will hear is 'binding' 'devil' 'fire' 'blood' 'destroy' 'rebuke' 'hate' 'steal your destiny' 'die, die, die'. Then after hearing this bloodthirsty sermon for four hours, a person will emerge from that church filled with the spirit of division and conflict, which he or she (usually she) will call 'the holy spirit'. Go to church anywhere else and you will walk out with new insights on life and a hopeful feeling. Go to Nigeria and someone has buried your destiny in the sand and must die. And don't let me start with the imams.

So what will it be? I cannot ask everyone to change Nigeria, and this is only a post on a forum so I don't expect to do miracles. But please, whatever authority you have in your personal life, and the authority you will soon gain, please be humane to the people around you. Whether you're the person with the wheelbarrow or the next president, live a life that makes life a blessing.

You made sense before you used Buhari as an example the way you did. I stopped reading from there.

Buhari is not a saint, at least he gets somethings right. I was nodding in agreement with you until it turn into a Buhari displeasure display.

From the way you wrote, you don't even have the right to condemn Nigerians or Buhari for that matter if you are not an exemplary personality. If you need equity, you need to have clean hands.

petitejolie:
pls what is transponder key

A transponder key is a key that has a transponder chip inside the key (pic below).

This chip is a 2 way transmitter that receives a signal from the car and responds with a prewritten code that allows the car to authenticate the key.

If the car doesn't get the right signal response, it shuts down the ECU (brain box) so the engine will not start.

With the chip, a car cannot be hot wired or the key blade cannot be copied and used to start the car.

petitejolie:
where we go see all these ones. Should we do this before paying money after showing interest in d car

This is not for every car, it relates to the cars that have been installed transponder key from factory.

With a transponder key, the car is very difficult to steal unless the thief is sophisticated.

Car dealers and other people with bad intention could duplicate the key and just use the spare key to drive the car off when you park it unwatched.

When you buy a car that has a transponder key, take the car to a key programmer who will scan and tell you the number of keys programmed to start the car. If you were given 1 key at purchase and there are two keys programmed to the car, the other key can be anywhere and car start the car at anytime. Your car can be driven away in less than a minute. The programmer will delete the other key or keys and leave the one in you possession. This way, the thief can unlock your doors but cannot start the engine.

Wendy006:
What I am about to share here is 100% true. You never can trust how discreet this pages are, so I had to create a new moniker lol...

I had already concluded plans to get a fairly used Nigerian Lexus. I got a seemingly good deal on jiji so last Friday I traveled to obiaruku to seal the deal.

Everything had gone on as planned, very great guy, I paid, he handed over all relevant documents and I headed straight to bact to Asaba.

At about 7pm, I was doing a final check on the documents so I sent my wife to the car, this lady returned back with a big black envelope directly behind the driver's seat.When we opened it, it was filled with Indian hemp. I mean close to 500grammes, I was in utter shock. I quickly called the seller and cautioned him seriously.

I had gone through over 15 police check posts, how on earth would I have explained that the stuff wasn't mine.

Please folks, we've got to be very careful. Very very careful. May God not allow us to answer questions about someone else's indiscretion.

I have decided not to share the pics here, for personal reasons.

Your next step is to take the car to a key programmer, check how many keys are programmed to the car and how many keys you were given. If it is same, you are clear, if the programmed keys are more than the key you have, ask the programmer to delete all keys and program only the one in your possession.

Lastly, if you have an extra key programmed to the car, your valuables in the car are not safe so be careful.

Dpharisee:
I said here that Buhari feels he is through with the South West and that's why he has made Osinbajo almost irrelevant in his administration, removing Yorubas from key financial institutions and replacing them with his own tribal personalities, the next step is to start courting the Igbos gradually and then the South South.

Seeing the South East supporting Operation Amotekun is creating headache for the Fulani hierarchy, they didn't see it coming. The effect of this is that the two zones (SW/SE) could relax antagonizing each other for 2023 presidency and support any candidate that will be chosen by consensus by Yoruba and Igbo politicians under one party, either PDP or APC.
Meanwhile, I can see a new crop of emerging fearless politicians like Akeredolu and GSM are gaining nationwide acceptance gradually from the SW as it stands.
Consequently, a new crop of strong politicians is critically needed to emerge also from the SE, I feel people like Kingsley Moghalu should be leading the charge with others.

Pushing SW, SS and SE towards Unity will be the biggest undoing of Buhari to the Fulani oligarchy and the dawn is already setting.

What is it with Igbos constantly miscalculating the polity.

Underestimate the Hausa/Fulani at your peril.

Follow up. The following day I went back with two guys in a covered plate numbered car and demanded the officer that signed the sheet to complete his name. All of them started panicking . Those men introduced themselves and introduced me. At that point I felt sympathy for ordinary citizen. He then lied that when FRSC regional commander called that he only sorted small thing out and started to look for me to carry my car and I had gone and he told his boys to release my car once I returned. He pleaded that I did not show my i.d. card that if I had shown it even if I had committed plenty offence that my car must surely pass. I was amazed at his new found humility. But I told the men to let him be that. And moved my car.
Question: who will plead the case of ordinary citizen in the hands of these oppressors?
Anybody with small power can frame you up at anytime and suffer you.
May God deliver Nigeria.

A high way patrol police office stopped me one day after 5yrs of driving my Lagos registered car in north. He asked me for plate number allocation form and police extract or something like that which no one has ever asked me even when I used the same car in the east. I knew I had such documentation but it wasn't in the car. My plea fell on deaf ears but I wasn't in a hurry. Went back to my car rolled down the windows, picked a novel in the glove box and started reading. I heard their oga asking, why is that car still here, he took the documents, as he was approaching, I faked a long phone call. He didn't interrupt me till his attention was needed. He came back 20mins later, i was still talking to myself on the fake phone call. He waited 5 mins before i faked an excuse to call the caller back.

He asked me what my issue was, I said I don't know. He couldnt say anything, he handed me back my photocopies.

The moral of the story is that I was been victimised for my time, fortunately, I had plenty of. If I hadn't, it would have been a different story.

I have a hairline crack on my windscreen, an FRSC officer clearly told me if he wants he will book me for it as shattered windscreen. FRSC will impound your car for expired tire, but the offense slip will read a code for worn out tire which isn't the same.

My car has been impounded in Abj for stopping on speed lane shoulder to receive a phone call. I paid 5k and 2k to reinflate tires.

Life in Nigeria isn't fair in its entirety.

Even Ihedioha has allowed the verdict to sink in.
Read his words below in red

Ihedioha : "Consequently, we have put machinery in motion to hand-over the reins of office to the APC Candidate as the the next governor of Imo State. This will be coordinated by the Secretary to the State Government. I therefore direct all members of Imo State Expanded Executive Council, and all political appointees to write their handing-over notes and to return all government properties in their custody, forthwith. I shall not be party to pilfering of Government property or funds"

We were so suprise to read that from the outgoing governor also.
They have seen pilfering of government properties and looting of public funds while in office as a normal thing.
See how he puts it as if he is doing Imolites some favour!
May God punish all thieving politicians in our nation.[/quote]That was just image redemption since it is the last time he will be heard in the official capacity as governor.

The issue is be has done more harm to his reputation such that he will not be coming back to that office without the incumbency advantage.

He has so messed up and blew his only chance of redemption by witch hunting Okorocha without doing any reasonable thing.

Please what happens next after it starts to whine? Mine had a leak which I’ve fixed but it’s already begun having that noise while turning the steering

The whine is easy to diagnose.

If it whines only ion cold start and disappear; it is definitely a suction leak.

If it starts winning 5-10 mins after starting; low viscosity or non Honda PS fluid.

Others can be a PS pump failed oil seal.

And what is the name of the person who reported the fraud? What evidence did he present? How much money did the man get from the fraud? Who paid him money? Why didn't DSS take the case not in court? Is the man suddenly innocent?

I am Buhari's supporter but this action is condemnable.

Next time, buy everything from a single seller and shipped together into one package. If you ship it differently, you'll certainly pay #500 each package.

What if one seller doesn't have all the items i want to buy?

I do that fake phone call thingy way too often.

I just fake the phone call, wave and smile at the person i dont want to talk to and when he passes, I get relieved.

I had to turn off the lights, close the windows, make sure the room was completely dark before eating the beans my aunt set at the dinning. The beans had weavles and eating that food was ewwwwing me. I hate to throw away food. I had to avoid the conversation on why I refused the food when she knew i was famished. I just swallowed the food in the dark corner like i was being punished.

Later, she was singing my praise, that i dont refuse food like my other cousins, if only she knew how tormented i was.

not enough revenge, but still good.

For me, its enough, the message was passed through a bitter pill she had to swallow.

Am sure she will think well before doing that to another guy

I bought a Honda city 2004 model last year. The seller told me that the car does not have custom papers and the customs officials don't stop cars like honda city. Now I want to use the car to make a long journey and I want to verify here if what the seller told me is true. Thank you

What you should have determined is if the car was bought in Nigeria brand new. If it was brand new, then duty must have been paid. For such cars, the duty is paid by the importer for a fleet and the certificate is for the entire fleet. Customs usually turn away their eyes on brand new cars for such reason. It is hard for such companies to default on duty. All you need is a receipt bearing such company name.
