Good morning all,
What could be wrong with my gen. I tried to start it yesterday, it was not coming up. Then return the choke to normal position it would be when the Gen is running and then start it again, it came up for few seconds then makes bang sounds and smoke started coming out from the air filter area. I had to quickly put it off.

I am cleaning the air filter now to see if it has collected much oil or something.

Please what could be wrong?

Foreign Affairs › Biden Marks 10 Years Since Bin Laden Killing by Akell(op): 12:18am On May 03, 2021
President Joe Biden used the 10th anniversary of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden — “a moment I will never forget” — to reaffirm his decision to remove all US troops from Afghanistan.

“We followed bin Laden to the gates of hell — and we got him,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House.

“We kept the promise to all those who lost loved ones on 9/11: that we would never forget those we had lost, and that the United States will never waver in our commitment to prevent another attack on our homeland.”

Biden, who announced last month that he would end Washington’s longest war by September 11, praised then-president Barack Obama for his 2011 decision to approve the secret operation targeting the al-Qaeda leader, and praised the special forces who carried it out in Pakistan.

Watching the operation remotely from a crowded White House Situation Room, Biden said, was “a moment I will never forget — the intelligence professionals who had painstakingly tracked him down; the clarity and conviction of President Obama in making the call; the courage and skill of our team on the ground.”

Now, as the US begins pulling the last of its troops from Afghanistan, Biden said: “Al Qaeda is greatly degraded there. But the United States will remain vigilant about the threat from terrorist groups that have metastasized around the world.

“We will continue to monitor and disrupt any threat to us that emerges from Afghanistan. And we will work to counter terrorist threats to our homeland and our interests in cooperation with allies and partners around the world.”

Politics › DSS: Buhari's Critics Planning To Disintegrate Nigeria by Akell(op): 12:07am On May 03, 2021
The Department of State Services has knocked those calling for the resignation of the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over his failure to address the festering security crisis in the country.

It described the critics as misguided elements and accused them of threatening the government, sovereignty, and corporate existence of the country.

Notable Nigerians had flayed the President over his failure to curb the security crisis particularly, the Boko Haram insurgency, kidnapping, and banditry across the country.

Also, Buhari’s erstwhile supporter, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Rev Fr. Ejike Mbaka had called on the National Assembly to impeach the President for incompetency if he failed to resign.

But reacting to the avalanche of attacks on the President, the DSS spokesman, Dr Peter Afunanya, said the main objective for the calls was the disintegration of the country.

In a statement on Sunday titled, “DSS supports indivisible, united Nigeria, warns against unsavoury, inciting utterances,’ the secret service said it has noted, “their desperation and penchant to collaborate with external forces and influences against Nigeria.”

The secret police stated, “The Department of State Services hereby condemns the unsavoury statements by misguided elements who have continued to threaten the government, sovereignty and corporate existence of this country.

“Notable are the unnecessary vituperations and activities of some religious and past political leaders who have either called for a forceful change of government or mass action against it.

“It has been established that the main objective for these is to cause a disintegration of the country.

“It is unfortunate that those in the forefront of this are respectable individuals who should be patriotic and not allow their personal ambitions to ruin the nation. The Service has also noted their desperation and penchant to collaborate with external forces and influences against Nigeria.”

Afunanya reminded the individuals that “even though democracy offers free speech, it does not give room to reckless pronouncements capable of undermining security.”

The agency noted that the ballot box remained the vehicle of change in a democracy and warned “self-centred individuals and groups” to stop engaging in acts inimical to the peace and sovereignty of this nation.

In the same manner, it admonished influential personalities to be sensitive to the emerging situations and guard against divisive and inciting utterances that may cause a breakdown of law and order.

“Recently, the Service invited and cautioned some persons who deniably recounted their earlier statements or said they were quoted out of context. The public should be wary of such individuals and their co-travellers who, incite them in the open but turn in the secret to retrieve their words after they had caused the damage,” the statement said.

While reaffirming its support to “an indivisible, indissoluble and united Nigerian State in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution,” the DSS said it will “no longer tolerate deliberate machinations by subversive and hostile groups whose agenda is to throw the country into anarchy so as to serve the interests of their sponsors.”

The service said it was working with other security and law enforcement agencies to ensure the maintenance of peace and internal security of the country.
Business › NERC Approves Tariff Review Applications For Discos by Akell(op): 11:59pm On May 02, 2021
The Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission has granted approval for the Extraordinary Tariff Review applications, Performance Improvement Plan, and Capital Expenditure for electricity distribution companies.

It disclosed this on Sunday in the NERC Order on Performance Improvement Plan and Extraordinary Tariff Review applications for power distributors operating in Nigeria.

The commission said the PIP and Capital Expenditure programme shall take effect from July 1, 2021 and shall remain effective until June 30, 2026.

It explained that the Discos had applied to the commission for a review of the provisions for Capital expenditure their various Multi-Year Tariff Order tariffs to support the implementation of their improvement plans over the next five years.

The regulator noted that under the Power Sector Recovery Programme, it was envisaged that the commission would implement a robust tariff review process aiming at improving performance in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry.

“This process involved a review of CAPEX allowances in MYTO model compliance with PIPs of the Discos,” it said.

The NERC stated that the approved improvement plan and extraordinary tariff application shall form the basis for Discos to prioritise the implementation of their proposed capital expenditure initiatives.

It noted that the approved improvement plans shall also form the basis for defining key performance index for the Discos over the five-year period.

Firstly, I hail u iya ejima. More strength to u. It's a bit late for an 8 months old to sit unassisted but every kid grow at their own pace. U have to keep encouraging them to sit. They will measure up to their milestones with constant trials. Mine sat unassisted from 4 months. Although she still falls sometimes. She gets better daily. As for eating, u keep introducing new foods to them to encourage them. What I learned is to not give up. If it's the pap he likes, continue but keep trying other ones. The way this girl looks eat me while I eat is scary. With unbreakable stare.

Health › Help Her Walk Again! by Akell(op):
My name is Doyinsola Akin- Fasae. I am a 30 year old Sickle Cell Disease Patient with bilateral peri-prosthetic infections and severe hip pains following a hip joint replacement.

I had the bilateral Hip replacement in 2016 after which I could not firther my education. My family was able to raise money from selling properties and getting loans for the surgery at that time. Unfortunately, I have been unable to walk well since then constantly in pains and not able to care for myself after the surgery. The pain keeps getting worse despite the huge medication expenses every week.

At present, I'm being managed for staged reconstructive surgery at ABUAD Multi system hospital . This will involve the initial removal of my current implants, extensive excessive debridement and insertion of antibiotic spacers at the first stage, then will be monitored for resolution, following which I will have bilateral complex hip joint reconstructive at the second stage .

I live in excruciating pains everyday. My surgery procedure will start as soon as I'm able to raise the funds needed.

No amount is too small to support me getting back on my feet again. I will appreciate your donations towards helping me walk again!!

This gofund me was created by my sister that lives in LA to help me reach my goal faster .

Please Help me walk again !!!!

Nairaland General › The Mysterious Origins Of “April” by Akell(op): 3:47am On Apr 01, 2021
Mark Twain once wrote: “This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four.” Twain’s referring to the first day of April or, as it’s often known, April Fools’ Day.

While the first day of the fourth month of the year is sure to bring plenty of shenanigans (will you be the perpetrator or the victim?), what isn’t so certain is where the month’s name originated.

First, where does the month of April come from?
The month of April goes way back. Before January and February were added to the end of the year by King Numa Pompilius around 700 BCE, April was already the second month of the Roman calendar year (March was the first). Around 450 BCE, April was rearranged into the fourth slot, and was assigned 29 days.

With the introduction of the Gregorian calendar by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, an extra day was added, and even though it took Mother Goose a while to standardize the rhyme, we’ve been able to count on “30 days hath April” ever since.

How did April get its name?
But, being confident about the origin of a word that’s been around since before 1150 isn’t so simple. There are a few common theories behind April‘s naming. One is that the name is rooted in the Latin Aprilis, which is derived from the Latin aperire meaning “to open”—which could be a reference to the opening or blossoming of flowers and trees, a common occurrence throughout the month of April in the Northern Hemisphere.

Another theory holds that since months are often named for gods and goddesses, and since Aphrilis is derived from the Greek Aphrodite, it is possible the month was named for the Greek goddess of love (the goddess that the Romans called Venus)! Even now, April is a popular name.

And, as if that isn’t enough of a mystery, April also has yet another origination story. Around the fifth century, the Anglo-Saxons referred to April as Oster-monath or Eostre-monath, a reference to the goddess Eostre, whose feast was celebrated during the month. The Venerable Bede, a monk from the Northumbrian monastery of Saint Peter, believed this gave root to the word Easter—which is most often observed during the month of April.

April’s derivation will remain a story full of maybes, but we don’t see this month going anywhere soon. What do you think linguists will be discussing when the month of April is 3000 years old?
Nairaland General › Is It April Fool’s Day Or April Fools’ Day? by Akell(op): 3:37am On Apr 01, 2021
Where does the apostrophe go? Originally, there was none!

The term April fool, for a victim of a prank on April Fools’ Day, dates back to the 1600s. Early records of the holiday from the 1700s name it April Fool Day, with an apostrophized April Fools’ Day recorded by the 1800s. This is also around when April fool came to refer to the trick itself.

Today, the holiday is stylized both as April Fool’s Day, emphasizing an April fool as a singular concept, and April Fools’ Day, indicating plural April fools, whether the people or the pranks.

And don’t forget to shout “April Fool!” when the prank is revealed.

April fools across the world

Yup, April Fools’ Day is celebrated all around the world. Because who doesn’t like playing a friendly prank on their loved ones? Here are some examples:

In France, the fooled party is called the poisson d’avril, which literally means “April fish.” France’s customary prank involves pinning a paper fish to a friend’s back.

In Scotland, April Fools’ Day was traditionally called Gowk Day—gowk being another name for the cuckoo, a common symbol of the fool. Pranks continued into April 2, Tailie Day, when celebrants traditionally attach a “paper tail” (or a “kick me” sign) to their friends’ backs.

Brazil celebrates April 1 as Dia da Mentira, or “Lie Day,” in which people try to fool their loved ones. Always for comedic effect, of course.
Nairaland General › Where Did "April Fools' Day" Come From? by Akell(op): 3:30am On Apr 01, 2021
For pranksters and mischievous older siblings all around the world, April Fools’ Day, also called All Fools’ Day, is as eagerly anticipated as Christmas.

After all, what other holiday encourages you to think up practical jokes and fool’s errands, from swapping your spouse’s keys to tricking your friend into thinking their car got towed? (Not cool, Steve.)

But how did this odd, prank-centric holiday come to be celebrated in the first place, and why is it called April Fools’ Day?

Where did April Fools’ Day come from?
The true origins of April Fools’ Day remain unknown and are probably lost to history, but theories abound, of course.

One story goes that April Fools’ Day began with France’s 1564 Edict of Roussillon, which decreed that New Year’s Day, historically observed on Easter by Christians, was moved to January 1. Easter is a movable, lunar-based date but often falls in April, so it’s said that early adopters dubbed people celebrating the old New Year “April fools.”

Good one, guys.

Another theory suggests that April 1st became the fool’s holiday due to Geoffrey Chaucer’s 14th century collection, The Canterbury Tales, wherein Chaucer includes a playful reference to “32 March,” or April 1st. However, most scholars consider it to have been a mere copying error.

The holiday also shares some striking similarities to some ancient antecedents, though. The ancient Roman festival, Hilaria, was also a joyful, springtime festival held on or around March 25. Yes, the word hilarious is, aptly enough, related.

Another analog is Holi, a Hindu spring festival celebrated in late March during which people can forgive and forget past faults by throwing colored powder and water on one another.

You need to physically see the gen you are buying. Don't buy those short coil types, buy the long coil and make sure elapaq or constant is inscribed(not pasted o) on the fuel tank, engine block and other places. The jumia advert does not show a these
