Siena: Aircon will affect fuel consumption more in slow traffic, more so if your compressor cycles on and off regularly (as it will if low on gas). The factor here is inertia, more energy is required on compressor start-up, and with an automobile travelling at low speeds, there's more drag (load) on the engine, requiring more energy to drive it.

At highway speeds, the effect of the compressor engaged on fuel consumption is negligible. Running at highway speeds with the aircon switched off, and the windows open will have a greater effect on fuel consumption, as open windows will alter the aerodynamics of the automobile, causing drag. The CD value (drag coefficient) can rise from lets say 0,28 to 0,43 with windows open.

It's worth noting though that modern automobile are switching from clutch-type (fixed displacement) compressors to variable displacement units, that have less drag, and consequently have less effect on fuel consumption.

Auto Siena, u are the best, just believe it!!!!

I dey laugh ooo!!!

Where are all GEJ apologist? I nid them to explain this to me. too bad to believe. Oh Lord direct our leaders right.

Ola0711: This is a shame to APC/CPC..the only state CPC is controlling is nothing to write home about...GEJ TILL 2019

Keep dreaming!!!

U guys should wake up, u cant say because 5 states in naija hav constant (not possible anyway) light, then the whole Nigeria enjoy constant light. We have spent billion of dollar to solve this problem and yet nothing to show off.

oddy4real: I stay at Bar Beach Towers, Bishop Oluwole Crescent, Victoria Island and we have light for AT LEAST, 18 hours a day.
In my residence at Oluyole in Ibadan too, the same is obtainable!

Oga, which side for oluyole? Just hear ur self, d whole Ibadan city, you are talking about Oluyole alone. Wake up guy!!!

Sincere 9gerian: Why cant these shameless ACN/APC propagandists post comments about light situation in their own area and allow others to freely do the same? Why do the ACN/APC propagandists try to bully anyone that admits to improved power supply? Why is the ACN/APC propagandists LOSING SLEEP because of the progress we'r seeing in almost every sector? Why is the ACN/APC propagandists anti-progress?
We need answers

Why do u always attack other people. I hav the right to my opinion. We are talking of the whole country and you ar talking about a small area in lagos. That's is rubbish if u don't knw. Go to every state in nigeria and ask abt ur president I bet u, u will run away. Ojodu to d whole nation. Useless pple.

APC, A Pill Nigerians Must Swallow By Lauretta Onochie


By Lauretta Onochie

Many years ago, before the advent of Paracetamol, APC was the medicine for headache, stomachache and indeed, all aches and pains. Today Nigeria has a headache, a bellyache and all known and unknown aches a d pains. The good news is that we know the cause of most of these aches. Diagnosis? Corruption and the poor leadership of the PDP! But it looks like the good old tablet,  APC is back in Nigeria; not in chemists and pharmacies, but as a political conglomeration that promises to heal Nigeria of many of her aches and pains, commonly known as PDP wahala. It is the ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC).

Hear them, "We resolve to form a political party committed to the principles of internal democracy, focused on serious issues of concern to OUR PEOPLE, determined to bring corruption and insecurity to an end, determined to grow our economy and create jobs in their millions through education, housing, agriculture, industrial growth etc, and stop the increasing mood of despair and hopelessness among OUR PEOPLE.” In one short sentence, they used 'Our people' twice... Yet, Nigerians are sceptical about APC and their real intentions.

Nigeria is a nation where different groups of people in leadership have come to promise us heaven on earth, only to turn around to confine us to hell by impoverishing us the more. The present reality is the Peoples Democratic Party PDP. These people, since 1999, have made millionaires out of their immediate families and friends. That has also changed. They began to make billionaires out of their cronies and now, we are at a stage where many suspect that there might be more Dollars in Nigeria than in America as they continue to make 'Dollarnaires' out of their close associates.

Nigerians have met disappointments at every turn of their recent political history. Where we have been promised bread, we got stones and where we were promised soup, sludge was forced down our throats. Its all too recent and still raw as we all are now choking from air pollution, not only from the fumes from our electric-generating sets but from the corrosive materials in the breathe of fresh air we were promised by the current ruling party and its arrowhead of corruption, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

We, as a people have come to the stage where we lost all hopes in our leaders and consequently, in our nation. They have cheated us out of our national inheritance. They have run down our national infrastructures and left them in their dilapidated states. Examples are our roads and hospitals. They have, through their greed reduced our life expectancies to 47 and 45 respectively for men and women. They have made us look small among the comity  of nations. We have become a people who are no longer warmly welcomed to other nations. Close to home, some African nations have been brave to voice the fact that we are bad news. Our leaders have become the butt of jokes as they go around the globe parading ignorance.

The Nigerian print and electronic media mostly became instruments of misinformation for peddling lies, innuendoes, gossips and propaganda in favour of those who use our collective wealth to suppress the truth. And then the Social Media emerged! Subdued Nigerians found a live wire. Many began joining the social network such as Twitter and Facebook. Some went in with their body, soul and spirit. Others went in slowly and cautiously.  And then, it exploded! Nigerians threw caution to the wind, taking the bull by the horn. They went for the jugular, chocking the day light out of the present inept, corrupt and clueless government of President Jonathan. Nigerians on the Social media used it to their maximum benefit, exposing the corruption, ineptitude, incompetence and the waste that were and are still the hallmark of this sick government.

But this government, this sick government of President Jonathan still refuses medication. It struggles on, refusing to see that the people they asked to serve needed to be served. This sick government that refused to take all prescribed medications devised means of avoiding contact with Nigerians for fear of being lynched by angry Nigerians. Private jets became the new means of mass transit  for our corrupt leaders and their friends, along with their religious associates. Nigeria's Independent celebration events which we looked forward to as children in Nigeria, became a private affair. Children in our nation have not been given the opportunity, even on children's day to interact with the man who decides on their behalf.

The new found confidence of Nigerians, armed with the deluge of authenticated data on the corrupt activities of the present administration of President Jonathan, gave wings to the courageous showings of the #OccupyNigeria Movement a year ago. That became the first arrow shot in recent times by the Nigerian people at their ignoble leaders to put them on notice that it would no longer be business as usual. A lot more corruption has been unearthed and exposed since then and all we hear from them are denials, denials and more denials. The complicity of our National assembly is not in doubt neither is the collusion of our judiciary. It is common knowledge that people, (yes they are Nigerians), are eager to keep the Boko Haram crises going because of the huge gains from the unaccountable security votes for that region. "Vampires" I call them. Those who flourish and bask in the blood of others are called vampires.

Nigerians, ordinary Nigerians are therefore left to their own devices as unemployment soars. Lynching popularly known as jungle-justice and mass raping have become popular in a nation that has lost her morals and community spirit. Campus prostitution, armed robbery, kidnapping, human-trafficking fraud and scamming etc are now ways of earning a living in a nation blessed with huge natural a d human resources.

Therefore,  I must say that I clearly understand the apathy, suspicion, scepticism and distrust with which some of us view APC, the soup-pot or what some of us call a collection of strange bed-fellows. After all, some of these apothecaries who prepared this APC, have been in the forefront of the Nigerian politics for decades and have not been part of the solution, to say the least. However, we must look beyond the people who are the principal players in APC now. If one was drowning, and someone threw him a life line, he would grab it and ask questions later about the identity of the life saver. Our nation is sinking. We have no time to dilly-dally. Our problem had been that we did not have a united opposition in our nation that was proactive. Now we do. One has presented itself.

A party like this APC is what many of us have been campaigning for. There is no way we are going to have an opposition that is led by people we do not know. Nigerians and indeed the world, are predisposed to starting from the known to the unknown.  Many people may not know how tediously many of our well meaning youth have worked to build a solid opposition, but were not taken seriously because they are not known. This is a chance Nigerians must take with both hands and firmly plant their feet on. APC is made up of the known at the present but unless we all join at this its inception, the unknown would remain in the background.

I therefore, appeal to Nigerians, especially our youth population, to join, no, to invade this APC. Its only when we are in that we can have a say from the beginning and make the necessary changes like standing against god-fatherism, mediocrity, tribalism, nepotism and other vices. Once we allow them become a cabal, we would have ourselves to blame.

Nigeria was standing between the devil and the deep blue sea and suddenly, a ship appears out of the deep blue sea.  This may be our last chance to recover our nation by ourselves through democratic means. It is not going to be easy-sailing but we are the ones that must make the difference. When the known leaders begin to show self interests, we the unknown Nigerians in APC would be the ones to keep them in check and insist on what we want for our nation or push then aside. Nigerians must arise and hijack this party for their benefit. With PDP, we are outsiders. We don't want to be outsiders with APC too.

Suddenly, there is a light at the end of the tunnel

I wasn't expecting the FJC to make advert by old manual method. Are they telling us that everybody that want to apply for the job must come to abuja or what?

I think we have the right to apply irrespective of our location. This should be ONLINE.

We all kwn they have concluded the exercise before advertising it. God Bless Nigeria.

Let know your views please.

Hello,

Please my Mitsubishi Carisma 1998 gear do give a sound whenever I engage the Reverse R. But if I take to Drive D, no sound.

This started yesterday and my Mechanic check the ATF oil which was ok and other things under the car, he conclude that there's nothing wrong and that I can be using it like that.

What can cause that sound whenever I want to reverse the car?

Pls help out

After some people told us she was in Ibadan with her husband during the NURTW amala fracas in ibadan during sallah, she has now admitted she is in london. ACN is more corrupt than PDP. believe what you want let me believe mine. on truth I stand

What's your problem, can't u understand simple english, she was in Ibadan during Sallah (salah was on friday....saturday.....sunday) and travel on sunday.
Please u guys should stop dirty politics and face reality. If she is arrested as claimed, I bet you BBC wil hav inform FG and she wouldn't be allow to travel back to Naija. As am writing now, she's on her way back to MMIA.
