Even in the US, everyone knows Acura MDX has transmission issues. There are some people on their 2nd or 3rd transmission

I sent a car to Nigeria. The car had 2 keys with remote. The clearing agent is now telling me that the keys are missing and I need to make new keys. These are Toyota keyless keys that cannot be used in another vehicle. Is tis scenario credible or is the agent trying to be funny. I am not in Nigeria the moment so I am stuck. Pls help with advice.

If Trump can prove that illegal votes were being counted through mail-ins, they will be cancelled. He's already said he is not accepting defeat, so the burden of proof is upon him. I hope he is able to prove it.

Do you know the process of getting a mail in ballot. You have to request the mail in ballot from the secretary of state. Your name is checked against the register and the ballot is mailed to your home address. Only then can you fill out the form and return it. If the democrats were able to request so many mail in ballots (over 600k in PA ) that you allege are fake, then the whole system is broken down. It means the government sent out up to 600k ballots to fake people. Haba, think about it.
Some people, many in black/democratic areas who requested for mail in ballots are still waiting for it up till today. Eventually, they had to go to the polling station and vote physically. I know this because it happened to my neighbour.

I think Donald Trump killed his chances with over confidence. When the states declared early voting open (3 weeks before election), democrats were urging their people to vote any way possible. Either by going to the polling station to vote early, or take your ballot to the polling station and put in drop box, or mail your ballot in time. If you cannot go to polling station, give it to your neighbor or friend to drop for you. before election day, democrats had voted millions already.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump was telling his people that early voting was bad and rigged and it will be canceled eventually so they should wait until election date to vote.
See the result. After everyone has voted on election date, Trump was leading. Then they started counter the early votes and most of them were for democrats.
That's exactly how Donald Trump lost this thing. No rigging or fraud.
After election night when Donald was leading, he said they should stop counting votes. Where is that done. When that did not work, he started saying there is rigging etc.

A man who can lie, cheat and steal like DT is the person all these Nigerians are calling their christian messiah. What is the basis. Because he said he is against abortion and gay rights etc ?
Let me assure you, If DT thinks being for abortion and Gay rights will pay him, he will switch immediately and tell you he never said he was against it in the first place.

For all those complaining about this plane, pls read. This is a super modern light attack plane specially designed to fight on ground terrorists that do not have air power.

The capabilities the A-29 provides has drawn the attention of other nations facing similar challenges from terrorist organizations, as well as the need to surveil and secure long land borders. The U.S. government has agreed to sell six Super Tucanos to Lebanon which is dealing with a number of threats to its security. Recently, the U.S. government approved Nigeria’s request for twelve A-29s. This country is in a deadly struggle with one of the most vicious ISIS-affiliated groups, Boko Haram, but lacks the appropriate aircraft to conduct ground attack/ISR operations over the heavily forested terrain in which the terrorist group operates. With its advanced sensors and laser designator, the A-29 will enable the Nigerian Air Force to conduct precise close air support strikes in populated areas while reducing the risk of collateral damage. The A-29 is the perfect aircraft for Nigeria.

A girl told me that she has several vibrators but she still prefers the real thing. I asked why. She said the real thing is warm/hot whereas a vibrator is cold. I told her to put the vibrator in the microwave first.

No regrets. Living in Atlanta is just like living in Lagos without the traffic, heat, dirt, power failure etc. Nigerian joint/beer palour plenty here. Nigerian food full ground. Redeemed Church, Winners Chapel, Mountain of Fire, Deeper Life, CAC all of them dey here.
direct flight to Lagos. If you have spare $1500 , you can go to Lagos for week-end Thursday back Sunday. Best of 2 scenarios. If you update/upgrade your skills (especially modern IT skills) (note I said skills not qualifications) , jobs that can fetch $150,000 a year plenty.

Permit me to add my 2 cents worth. I believe the text was addressed to the Jews of that time whose practice was to sin and then get the high priest to sacrifice an animal to cover their sins.
What is being said here is that once these Jews have heard the good news of Jesus being the final sacrifice for all sins (past, current & future) if they do not believe and accept this and go on to sin as in the past, any sacrifice of animals will no longer cover their sins as it did in the past. Why, because they heard the news of Jesus and rejected it.
On the issue of sin, there is no man/woman alive , even born again christians who can claim he/she has not sinned (knowingly or unknowingly) since they became born again. So the text is not talking about sinning after becoming born again neither is it talking about once saved always saved.
Finally, the bible says who is guilty of one is guilty of ALL. Even if you don't fornicate or commit any of the so called big sins that people are quick to enumerate, you are still guilty even if you for instance told a small quick lie.
Some of the prayers we christians pray are actually sinful.
e.g Your friend buys the latest Mercedes car and your next prayer includes "father answer my prayer, I want to ride a Mercedes too".
That is covetousness which the bible says is a sin. (I know the example is a bit extreme but it happens)

Thanks God for Jesus Christ who night and day sits beside the father advocating for us.

How much will it cost to clear 2013 Toyota Sienna and delivered to Lekki. Van is completely empty.

I am shipping a 2013 Toyota Sienna home for my sister and I need a reliable trust worthy, honest , experienced clearing agent who will handle all the clearing and deliver the car to her house in Lagos. if you know anyone who you have use din the past or if you are a clearing agent, please respond.
Does anyone have any idea what it would cost to clear this vehicle (2013 Toyota Sienna).
Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Lady, I think your issue is that you think too highly of yourself. It sounds as if you think you are the most together person (looks, brains, career, ambition etc) and any man that comes across you should count himself lucky if you give him a moment of your esteemed and precious time.
Nothing wrong with standards but a bit of humility on your part would help.

Trust in God and do not lean on your own human understanding. Every child from God regardless of genotype (AS,SS,AA) has a special purpose for which he/she was created. The purpose will not be obvious to us human beings because we see only the immediate and present suffering of the child if any. But God sees the bigger picture. That was my attitude when I married. We are both AS and have 1 AA, 1 AS and 1 SS. My first son is the SS. If I do not tell you he is SS, you will never know. He is 19 now. He has been to the hospital only 1 time in his entire life for SS issues. I know you said you are not necessarily religious. If you decide to go ahead and marry her, make sure you take care of the religious part first.
God has a way of taking care of his children if only we will put our trust in him.

The suggestion that the VP should resign is absurd. Just because some Timi from somewhere says he took 90b from FIRS.
No facts , no investigation, no evidence.
If someone told your wife you were having affair, would you divorce her first then clear your name. Would you be happy if conversely she divorced you first then asked you to come back after you clear your name.
That's exactly what these people are suggesting.
I'm not saying the VP is guilty or innocent. No one knows yet.
If I were the VP and I am truly innocent, I would write a petition to EFCC and ask them to immediately step in and investigate and clear my name.
There is nothing in the constitution that protects the VP from investigation. His protection is from prosecution.
Since Timi says the VP admitted to the President that he did take the money, I would expect the presidency to confirm or deny this to put the matter to rest. Why is the presidency silent on the matter.

Finally, why are all these people so determined to get rid of the VP. I don't get it. Someone please enlighten me.

Check your pillow. Is it too flat or too bulky. I had this problem a while back. The strain in the neck causes the headaches mostly on the side of the head where the neck aches most. The inability to find a comfortable position that does not cause neck pain could be causing the sleepless restless night.

The US will be whatever you make of it.
e.g my panel beater back home in ogba ikeja many years ago somehow came to the us. I met him at a function. Apparently he now owns a thriving motor body workshop here in Atlanta. Back home he had nothing. Here he probably makes more than many professionals from his business. One thing he did was to learn all the modern techniques in auto body repairs.

Nigerians in the US are known all over the country for their hard work and resilience. Lawyers, doctors, IT professionals nurses, pharmacists, mechanics, car dealers, night club owners, petrol station owners, grocery store owners, limousine company owners , pastors, cab drivers, uber, and of course people who still do menial jobs.

Many of them own their own house, send their kids to the best colleges etc.
every american in have come across will always tell me..... I know a Nigerian who ..etc . 100 times out of 100 its always the same answer. I have a nigerian friend or co worker or husband or friends husband etc.

Finally, when nigerians have a party in the US, both white and black people open their mouth in amazement at the clothes, food and drink.
Why do I say this. Because I know for a fact that Nigerians have made an ever lasting mark in the US that people from no o
other country can match (maybe India & china in terms of economic status but not socially)

Can you give me an estimate for a 2016 Lexus LX570 SUV

Good Day,
Can you give me an estimate to clear a 2016 Lexus LX570 shipped roro to tin can island.
Thanks

I went and compared the results INEC published versus Atiku's results for all the other candidates. INEC has recorded some really high votes for candidates nobody has ever heard of.
e.g
INEC
BASHAYI ISA DANSARKI M MMN 14,540

ATIKU Spreadsheet
BASHAYI ISA DANSARKI M MMN 73


INEC
FELIX NICOLAS M PCP 110,196

ATIKU Spreadsheet

FELIX NICOLAS M PCP 25,299



INEC
MAILAFIA OBADIAH M ADC 97,874

ATIKU Spreadsheet

MAILAFIA OBADIAH M ADC 23,617

And so on .....

Who can tell me who FELIX NICOLAS is and why he scored 110,000 votes according to INEC.

From the screen shots posted on the website, it looks like the results are being pulled from an Oracle database with a connection string inec@inec.
i.e the username is inec and the Oracle instance is inec.

What I would like to see if the definition / properties of the connection string. It should show at least the DNS name or the IP of the Oracle server.

Does Inec use Oracle?

Several people have said the naming convention and the version of Windows is suspect. I worked in IT for many years in Nigeria. You would be surprised what you see out there. If the servers were set up by INEC staff or local contractors, don't be surprised. I have seen IT staff install unlicensed versions of the operating system because the person in charge has enbezzled the license fee. Again , you will be surprised.

For all those who say the numbers do not add up, I refer you all to the first spreadsheet that was submitted to the court. It has the votes for each and every candidate. I have posted an extract for your information. I am not an Atiku loyalist. I just want justice to be done.

Very misleading.
Vehicle Mtce Allowance...N1.86m means they receive N22.32m per year to maintain the car. They receive a car allowance once every 4 years to buy an official car. This is more than the cost of many new cars. Going by this post (Vehicle Mtce Allowance...N1.86m), they do not need to maintain the car. Just buy a new one every 6-8 months. Again lets be reasonable..

Please don't mislead folks. These running costs listed as monthly are mostly yearly. Lets be reasonable. How could anyone receive 1.24m monthly for newspapers. Its more like 100k per month (1.2m per year) for newspapers.. and so on.
1. RUNNING COST
Newspaper allowance.......N1.24m
Wardrobe allowance..........N0.62m
Recess allowance .............N0.25m
Accommodation................N4.97m
Utilities ..............................N0.83m
Domestic staff...................N1.86m
Entertainment....................N0.83m
Personal Assistant............N0.62m
Vehicle Mtce Allowance...N1.86m
Leave Allowance...............N0.25m

TOTAL RUNNING COST ...........N13.58m/year

I love the election results (if what has been reported is fairly accurate). I am an Atiku supporter but I accept he did not have the political support all over the country to overcome PMB.
However, I am still happy with the results.

WHY

1. It reflects the peoples will in the various localities. People voted for the candidate mostly and not the party as was the practice in the past.
2. It got rid of those greedy ex governors who are or who were aspiring to be senators e. Saraki, Akpabi, Ajimobi, Uduaghan etc
3. All the traitors that joined APC in 2015 to get elected and then decamped to PDP have mostly been shown the way out. e. Saraki

I don't think it is premature to congratulate PMB and pray that God would give him the wisdom to lead the country better than he did previously.

Just like Mr Trump lost the popular vote but still won the election through the electoral college. Nigeria's equivalent of electoral college is 25% in 24 out of 36 states.
Surprise... Buhari wins most of the states but still loses the election.

CAVEAT : Election must be relatively free & fair..

One thing many people are not noticing about this analysis is that

APC & Buhari will win in most of the states
APC & PDP will get the required 25% in 24 or more out of 36 states
BUT PDP/Atiku will win the popular vote and therefore election.

Letter looks really fake. What caught my eye was
Liberal use of "Nigerian english" e.g "My pollster experts" Nothing like that. The word is polling not pollster

The last paragraph is suggesting some sort of rigging to rectify the situation. No polling expert with any kind of sense would ever say anything like that.
