Hello good people. I'm beginning to be bothered about the issue of hard start with my car. Three different mechanics have changed the fuel pump but the hard start persists.

Initially, the car hard starts and kicks but now it hard starts and goes off. It only kicks after about three attempts. Everyone keeps saying the problem is from the fuel pump. I have changed the complete fuel pump three times but the problem persist.

Please I need professional help and advice on this embarrassing problem. I'm in Abuja

You need to describe more of the issue.

Is the hard start on cold start or every time or hot start.

Cold start is usually after the car rest for 2hrs or more. This is usually fuel supply related, not necessarily fuel pump. Fuel should remain under pressure even after car is turn off. If the pump has to build pressure every time you start from cold, it will delay start. Issues can be leaking injector, bad pressure regulator or a pipe leak.

Every time hard start could be engine health related, such as, low compression, fouled plugs etc

Hot start is usually fuel pump.

Hello friends.

I woke up this morning to discover a dead cockroach in my pot of soup. Immediately I notice it I quickly removed it and boil the soup for 10 mins . The issue is I am not ready to dispose it because there is still much protein it. To get a new soup in this harsh economy is very costly. I need advice to avoid getting sick. Kindly help a brother.

I won't give that soup to even my enemy.

excanny:
Isn't it better than calling a region 5% like Tinubu and his principal do.

At least, he still respected the South West and recognized he needed their support.

Did Tinubu ever appeal to the South East for support or he viewed them as inconsequential.

Obi can go to anywhere in the SW and walk free. Tinubu will not come out alive if he tries that in SE.

From the beginning, SE made it very clear, Tinubu will be wasting his time and money campaigning in the SE. Who doesn't know that. Besides he knows he has everywhere else. You guys insult everyone who mentions Tinubu.

hiteelong:
The phrase I don't like is '' help me tell your people in South west"

So Obidient in South west are not his people

My friend asked me, "why don't you like Obi".

What I told him is that I have a natural gift of avoiding bad people. No matter how bad Tinubu is, I felt deep down in my soul Obi was bad news.

He asked me to cite my issues, I just told him, the many promises Obi dished out were too many to come true. The person who will promise you at every opportunity is the man who has no intention of keeping it.

The hardest part is taking my bath in the morning. I work remotely and unsupervised so I can got to work anytime. I have to send report for previous day in the morning next day and I spend time on tiktok watching entertaining videos. To drop my phone and go out by 9 or 10am is the part I don't like.

To gara

With the gnashing of teeth from the oppositions, it be like not only election mandate was stolen, brains and manhood was looted as well

Walahi!!!

A lot of brains were lost in the elections and I have been wondering who took them and why?

Educated people and even the ones that claimed are "learned fellows" lost their brains in the process.

[quote author= post=116943802]Tinubu the Oluwale grandmaster[/quote]You are comparing certificate issued in 1979 to the one issued in 2003?

How are you literate?

My NYSC discharge certificate does not have my picture on it, that doesn't make mine fake if yours has a passport. If you see the one my dad has, you will say he never went to school.

emmanbol:
Guys, calm down.

Reason the federal high court throw out the case is due to Locus standi. That is, pdp doesn't have the legal position to file such case. At that level, only somebody that did primary with shetima, tinubu, or APC member can file such case.

But at election petition tribunal, pdp, LP, candidates have the locus standi to file such case by the provisions of the law.

So, I can assure you 100% that the case will be listened to at petition tribunal. Thanks.

You contradicted yourself.

Is Peter Obi a member of the APC?

Fake collated results. . . loading.
BVAS will reveal if those actually match.


1 month later. . . . results are still uploading. . . . . AND INEC DECLARED WINNERS?
AGBEKPOOO INEC with the CRIMINAL CALLED MAHMOOD and his 'Katangora Professorship'!
Na dem first use BVAS technology?
After spending billions, can't certify results in less than 1 week.

IJJJIOTS!!!

Out of 22 million registered voters in Kenya. . .30% voted by 12PM.
Out of 912 million eligible voters in India. . .with a 67.4% turn out of 613,656,298 votes cast.
THEY VOTE FOR 5 WEEKS, SO EVERYONE GETS A CHANCE. . . .Then all votes are counted IN ONE DAY!!!

Out of 94.5 million voters in SHYTEHOLE Nigeria. . . .ONLY 25 MILLION VOTERS. . .and we are using 1 MONTH to upload results.
Awon OLODOS!
CRIMINAL-GWORO INEC!

1 month later do you expect results from PU's where election didn't hold or votes voided to be uploaded?

bentenny:
INEC should have called for a rerun immediately after the election when they observed that tinubu didn't meet the 25% of FCT
Its stated explicitly in the electoral laws that when a candidate doesn't attain the requirement though has the spread and the majority of votes,INEC will do a rerun in 21 days!
The candidate with the highest number of votes plus the spread and the first runner up with a spread will go on a contest and the candidate with the highest votes wins!
Bottom line,INEC failed to abide by their own laws!

What is that explicit requirement - "where the margin of lead is less than the total number of voters in PU's where election didn't hold or voided".

That's the condition for rerun. Otherwise, they can't call for rerun because of Abuja.

Brendaniel:
That is why I said INEC erred and should have not declared Tinubu the winner, there should be an interim government then a rerun in such a case but remember that Peter Obi still has other claims which even makes it more than just the 25% FCT issue...

Interim government? With which constitution. Are you thinking at all? Is there interim government in the constitution of Nigeria?

Let me ask, how old are you? Seems I am wasting my time.

sekundosekundo:
I mean those saying that FCT is a state.

Who said FCT is a state?

Brendaniel:
You are still missing it, it not a must that you win Abuja, but the 25% is required which Tinubu did not meet...

There are 2 conditions to become President elect, let's assume you are correct, Tinubu cannot be declared.

Tinubu has the highest votes and 25% in 36 states.

Obi has 25% FCT

Atiku has non

Kwankwaso worst.

In this situation, who gets declared?

It can't be Tinubu, it also can't be Obi.

There's then no constitutional procedure for INEC to resolve it and May 29 Buhari leaves. INEC is not empowered to do another rerun or new election. No VP. Even if Senate president becomes president according to the constitution. The current senate President leaves office soon. The new Senate can't be inaugurated because there's no president to inaugurate and CJN doesn't have that power.

That will be a LACUNA!

That FCT 25% you guys are talking about is a Lacuna and no court will contemplate it no matter how much you romanticise it.

sekundosekundo:
Saying that Abuja is a state is like saying that Ikeja is a state.

Yet, Ikeja was not mentioned.

Brendaniel:
The problem with you Tinubu supporters is you people don't pay attention to details, I did not talk about Tinubu here I only talked about INEC and the constitution, and I never said that anyone who wins Abuja wins the presidency, I am only interpreting the constitution that states that you must have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja.

So what are you blaming me for?

If 25% of Abuja is a most. 1999, 2003, 2015, 2019 elections would have automatically been a stalemate with no winner. There is also no way to proceed having a president in the constitution. It will be a lacuna.

Think critically my friend.Obj didn't win Abj twice, same with Buhari twice.

Imagine each of all those sceneries, no one wins. What will happen.

Think very well, if 25% in Abj is a must. This election has no winner, and the constitution has nothing prescribed for this situation. It's a deadlock and then chaos.

Those who drafted the constitution know this and they couldn't have planned a deadlock election. One that has happened 5 out of 7 elections since 1999.

Lastly, did I mention Tinubu or INEC?

Your comprehension and interpretation is simply wrong.

Brendaniel:
I have tried as much as possible to avoid debating on this issue, but sometimes one needs to look at some issues from the simplest forms to solve some problems, so firstly we will need to define the meaning of a state.

According to Oxford dictionary a state is a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government.

Now let's talk about Nigeria, Nigeria has 36 states and the FCT, Note that when they teach you in school or write the states and capitals in Nigeria, FCT is the only one without a capital, they just write FCT, the reason is because it is not a state but a capital, it is the capital of Nigeria.

Let's go back to the definition of a state, Nigeria itself is a state and its capital is Abuja(FCT), it is like Lagos and Ikeja, Lagos is a state and Ikeja is its capital.

Now let's go back to the constitution that requires INEC to declare a candidate winner of the presidential election and it states:

The Constitution in stipulating the requirements for election as Nigerian president states in Section 134(2) that a candidate must (a) have the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja.

So here you have it, have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja.


The reason those who wrote the constitution had to still write FCT, Abuja is because they knew it was not a state and so did not count Abuja as a state but a capital, if not they would have stopped the statement at "have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation".

But they had to stress FCT,Abuja in it to make sure that whoever will interpret the law will know that Abuja was not considered a state when they were referring to "states".


So in essence Abuja is not a state and has never been considered a state constitutionally, it is the capital of Nigeria, it is like what Ikeja is to Lagos, that is why there is no document that uses the statement like Abuja state or state or Abuja like you have Osun state or state of Osun, all you see is Federal capital Territory(Abuja).

So INEC did not follow the constitution

In other words. once a candidate wins Abuja, it's all over. The one one who wins Abuja is the president.

Why not we just let only Abuja people just elect the president? There's no point doing elections in the 36 states since Abuja is priority.

This issue is just comprehension and all you wrote is just a proof of your lack of it.

The mention of FCT is because of the 2/3 of states, FCT inclusive.

The word "and" is a conjunction

used to connect words of the same part of speech, clauses, or sentences, that are to be taken jointly.
"bread and butter"

The second meaning of "and" is when used as an interjection, this is usually used for feelings and emotions which is not applicable to this clause.

I know what you wrote is an opinion, but your opinion is driven by bias.

abobote:
You don't get it.
You are using past elections to justify this one, which is very wrong.
Nigeria invested so much in this election, and expections were high. Ofcourse, we know elections in have been very bad, but we expected this to be different, and at the end, we taking back to square one

Which election has Nigeria not invested in? Can you name one.

The only expectation you have that wasn't met is LP not winning.

If you expected a perfect election then you are not a realist and will never understand Nigeria. The Nigerians I know are smart people and can find loopholes in the law and govt policies no matter how tight they are made.

I watched in horror as the Governorship returning officer in Kaduna (a Prof) did the unthinkable that even some illiterates will not do. The law was clear stated to him but he still defied the law and did what he was obviously paid to do. With all that, I have not insult Mahmood Yakubu or INEC. I didn't insult anyone or say the entire process was corrupt or bad. Someone did bad that's it and I hope the court will serve justice. If it doesn't come, it's not work my blood or that of anyone.

chinchum:
Most obidients are PDP members. They are hypocrites. Can someone provide their assessment of Fayose and Wike pre 2022? They couldn't have been in mars when Wike provided almost 2 million votes in the 2015 presidential election for PDP in river states via widescale rigging, when Fayose was rigging for PDP in 2014 governorship election , attacking and shooting opposition members during 2015 presidential election.

I am so certain that the 2023 presidential election is one of the freest and fairest election ever in Nigeria. It is the closest to reality we ever had.

100% agreed. Best election we ever had but turns out to be the most criticized. There is no election ever in the history of Nigeria that is better than this but they won't agree.

Intact, far less people died in Rivers than when Wike himself was contestant. This election has the least bloodshed but Obidients cannot remember how it was. Far less kidnapping. Almost zero post election violence. BVAS worked far better than the Card reader before it.

My wish is that Supreme court will cancel the presidential election and ask for it to be done again. Obidients will wish the didn't go to court.

Rufai is the most partisan National TV personality I have ever seen.

He needs to step back and watch himself and if he is not biased, he will see why.

I have since stopped watching Arise because of him. Only obidients still watch Arise. Fayose said it, people even reject interviews with Arise because of him. The only people left who honour their invites are Obidients. It makes the entire TV station look LP TV. Same thing AIT did and ended their status asone of the leading TV stations in Nigeria. Who watches AIT again. After these court cases, Arise will not have any viewers left.

Alba3:
Most of his prayers were already resolved by court in 1999 and 2003 under Obasanjo. Wonder why normal lawyers and litigant would be making muckery of themselves and the court.

The 37 federating units or constituents are usually referred to as 36 State and the FCT (because FCT can't be called state). They need to explain to us what makes Abuja important than others and mandatory. Whether each voter there have many heads, we don't know.

True, that means a vote in Abj is automatically the vote for a president but the vote in Kaduna or any other of the 35 states is not automatic.

What they claim is clear lack of comprehension. This comprehension problem is widespread in Nigeria.

SmartPolician:
That FCT 25% NONSENSE sounds absurd to me. FCT is often separated from the 36 states because it's a territory, not a state (they cannot call it 37 states). However, as far as the election is concerned, FCT is like every other state in the country.

BTW, if Peter Obi is hoping to use that as basis to upturn Tinubu's sham victory, then I am afraid he has no case against the Druggie because it won't work.

Ask yourself why Obj won election twice without winning FCT, same with Buhari.

Don't put hope on that.

chymeze:
It's not by reeling out statistics that are disputable. These your statistics would have held water if the elections were free, credible, fair and transparent. But for now, these stuffs you put out there only remain mere disputed numbers until they're either endorsed by a credible judgement of the supreme court or the real statistics being put forward by the petitioners are rather the ones endorsed. You're welcome!

If this election is cancelled today and done again, Obi will maybe be fifth.

So you are proud that you are going to have a president who is a drug dealer, and at the same time forfeited £360000 proceeds from the drug business to US.
You need to know the person of Peter Obi with this election.

Why are you guys not thinking well.

Remember, Raymond Dokpesi's case. He was paid for a legitimate media job for GEJ's campaign. But the money paid to him was proven to belong to the FG and the payment method of cash was also against the law.

The court had to ask him to return the money and then set him free.

That's exactly what happened to Tinubu. He did a consulting job and was paid but the money he received was proven to be drug related. The money was collected and he was set free.

kozmokaz:
Do you know just one testimony from the DEA nullifies Tinubu candidacy ?

It has to be a conviction from a court, not just an allege crime.

So a separate case has to be filed and it's not going to be a tribunal case. Also, it is a preelection case so the tribunal cannot have jurisdiction on a criminal case that is not an election matter.

frankyychiji:
Swerve abeg. You are looking for constructive engagement to what end exactly?
See the bile coming out from your statement itself. Nonsense.

Bile?

Do you see what I mean. People have different opinions, you must not agree with me, I have my opinion, if you don't agree you state yours simple.

paramboos:
Oga mind your business, hypocrite. Is it your court, we don't need your useless advice please. Give it to your Atiku.

Typical. You talk constructively, they insult.

I never thought Reno and I will ever agree on the same thing.

Waterbear:
You are getting it wrong...
We igbos think it's time for the south south to take that position...

Abia isn't South South

Flames40:
You guys have started again?
Though I support an Igbo Man to become the Senate President. Igbo need to be given a crucial position in this administration. I love all tribes of this country and I want equitable representation.

One Nigeria is all we pray for

Igbos don't want to learn. You cannot be putting all your eggs in one bag every election and when that bag falls everything goes with it.

I will love to see Igbo included in the top 3 but the South South did better for APC and they deserve it too.

I am from a marginalized part of a state, marginalized LGA and marginalized tribe so I know how it feels.

Themandator:
It is not the fault of the machines if the results were swapped unless it was done to through the machines ... If another was announced it is not the machines
.if you open the.machine you will see the original transactions just like our Bvas

Yes, the machine prints out exactly the result which doesn't have to be written manually. But they take the machine and the results and you never have access to it unlike IREV. They will just announce what they like and if you don't like it and still protest, the Governor just appointment an administrator for that LG till thy kingdom come.

That's exactly what happened to some LGAs.

Just forget about it.

BluntCrazeMan:
So,, As big as INEC is, it couldn't even get good results-transmission and results-collation systems.


Yet, a state in Nigeria had already gone all the way to adopt full Electronic Voting since 2018..


KUDOS TO KADUNA.

This is good step in the right direction.

You have been deceived.

It's not as simple as you read or see it and is highly hypocritical.

The machine is purely a rigging machine. There are LGA that even with the elections, results were never declared or completely swapped and Administrators appointed.
