Politics / Re: Kenya Mall Under Attack From Islamic Terrorists (Pictures) by babyboy3(m): 9:55pm On Sep 24, 2013
warya123:

you have issues, no one has said anything. but its a fact the guys who attacked were from the Kushitic Race, somali ethnicity.

Kenyan ecnomy is already going down, why do fufus think they can mess with somalis?

They said she was involved, she traveled to Somalia for training and she led the attack. speculation has been fuelled by the Kenyan foreign minister who has said one of the militants from the Somali-based al-Shabab group was a British woman.

This lady known as Samantha Lewthwaite a.k.a The White Widow was the wife of one the 7/7 terrorist in the UK. This lady was one of those who led the terror attack in Kenya over the weekend

What suck is that no mentioned this lady's involvement but if she was someone from an African descendant or Asian, they would have plastered her picture all over every front page of every tabloid paper, but because she is a British woman no one mentions it.

Ikenna351:

From the engine size, i want to believe the 406 was a D8.

The XUD series, such as yours, (and other Peugeot diesel engines) do require special tool to pull out the glowplug. Most times, because of the high mileage they will cover before they fail, they will get stuck. Such tool can be purchased if you want to do DIY ownership.

Ikenna.

2 plugs are easy to reach the other cost me so much in Labour to get out

@siena
I didn't say diesel engines are unproven.. diesel have been available for heavy duty trucks for years and it is true diesel engines have done a lot in the last 15 years. But I ask u, why do car manufacturers produce more of gasoline cars than their diesel equivalent? Most standard cars come with gasoline powered engines, though the gap is gradually closing but will take some time before it can be even. The demand for gasoline cars is still higher, not just in Nigeria but in most countries. Manufacturers will not invest everything on something with low demand.

.Diesel engines are generally slower in acceleration than gasoline equivalents
.Diesel engines must be fuel injected which are expensive and less reliable
.They tend to be heavier than gasoline equivalents
.They produce black smoke which pollute the environ.
.Diesel are not readily available as gasoline. Go to a standard gas station, its always 8:2 ratio of pumps dispensing gasoline vs diesel. Some gas stations don't even sell diesel.

Now I know recently most of these problems have been remedied.. but based on past experience, people will not just jump into diesel cars until they are given a really solid reason to get one. That is excluding car enthusiasts anyway.

The point I am trying to make is that this is not a bandwagon propaganda as Ikenna would call it, or Herd theory as u would call it. Gasoline cars are more common everywhere in the world, not only in Nigeria.

I kind off disagree with the bolded comment you made above, because we have had a number of diesel engine cars beating gasoline or petrol engine cars in motor racing competitions Thats an indication how far the modern technology and powerful diesel engine cars are.

For a diesel engine car to win the famous Le Man race that says alot.

Car Talk / Re: Why Do Nigerians Avoid Diesel Cars When Buying A Vehicle? by babyboy3(m): 10:35am On Sep 22, 2013
I dont live in Nigeria, here in the UK most Nigerians or Afro-Caribbean avoided diesel engine cars because it sounds like a lorry and its not quick of the mark, but about 11 years ago I bought a Peugeot 406 1.9 diesel engine, and drove up to the North (somewhere between Liverpool and Manchester) and back to Kent on one tank of fuel, that was the day kissed good bye to petrol (when in Nigeria its different)

I finally sold it to my Polish neighbour who drove the car all the way Poland and back. The only problem with Peugeot diesel engine according to my Mech was the glow plug and changing it! but I didnt experience it when I had the BMW 325TD and the 320D

I now have my eyes on the A4 or A6 2 litre diesel engine

So what is wrong with a Nigerian first lady having a bachelors degree in a Nigerian University.

You are not only sick but suffering from severe pangs of inferiority and degrading complex.

But PEJ? I will go as far as starting a petition just to close down the University that gave her such honour or degree

You have come here with your nonsensical posts again?

Who is your own mother? The day Madam Umrella decided to take up the post of the 1st Lady ,she made herself open to public criticism! Are you proud of her as your 1st lady? I guess you are because you are not any better.

Some of us find it very shameful that a country that has produced Literary giants like Wole Soyinka will be reduced to a laughing stock among the committee of Nations when her excellency Madam Umrella decidedly starts to murder the English Language in such a public forum.

And all other first ladies will read her CV and see that she has a Bachelors degree from a Nigerian University- Disgrace! And you get mouth to talk? Shame no dey una body

chronique: I sincerely do not understand Nigerians. Did PEJ ask to be allowed to deliver a speech? She's been asked to deliver a speech by the organisers of the event and this is not a Nigerian event;it's an event organised for first ladies of presidents of the UN. What's the problem with that? If the international community regard her to the extent of asking her to deliver a speech,shouldn't we be excited about that? Yes,her use of English is not the best but that doesn't take away the fact that she's the first lady of Africa's most populous black nation. As far as I'm concerned,the outside world sees something of worth in her. Let's learn to support our own when there's a need to do so.

iceblue: No facts were presented and Nigerians have jumped to conclusions. Only in Nigeria do we stone businessmen without hearing all sides of the story, and celebrate criminals who've been caught with their hands in the pot. The other time, the media claimed subsidies paid to oil companies was a 'benefit' rather than a debt from doing legal business. Now, people are jumping hastily again.

A man who does not read is no different from a man who cannot read. The point of going to school is the ability to analyse information properly. If we can't do that, we might as well all be illiterate.

Sports / Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by babyboy3(m): 9:26am On Sep 10, 2013
Symphony007: bear in mind that that was'nt london's initial budget but at the end it skyrocketed to this. The reason why london spent so much despite it's infastructure is because the olympic village was built at the outskirts of london, east london to be particular, a barren land. So it had to be built from scratch and tube lines connected there, it won't be same if manchester hosted because it has no barren lands. The stadium will be built in the city center and new tube lines would not be needed.

Brazil has not finished a the olympic stadium but they are already hitting their budget, yet they still have to spen more money on transport, security, demolishing pavillars and compensating residents. Etc...let's watch and see.

The budget they presented was plucked out of the air, I think it was £2.4bn, people questioned the figure before they presented the bid, knowing that Athen had a £6bn and Beijin put aside £21bn. The moment people saw the cost of the Stadium thats when they realised that something wasnt right because £245m was the figure they presented for an 80k capacity olympic stadium with the aim to reduce it to 25k after the Olympics. It was one of the reason why they won the bid as well, the cost was almost half of the Paris Bid.

Even London spent about $14.46 billion, how much more Manchester. Does Manchester now have more Infrastructure than London? Meanwhile, Rio has almost the same budget as London, so i don't get what you're saying.

Rio are building a new Olympic city on an island next to Rio and some of the arenas used at the London Olympic are been dismantled and shipped to Rio

Florida is a state not a city. These cities you have listed have better infrastructure than Abuja but that's not always a factor. London beat New York to host the 2012 edition. Does it mean London has more infrastructure than New York?


New York were going to use existing infrastructure, just like Rio, London built a new olympic city from Scratch, they regenerated the whole of East London and promised to keep the legacy for ever thats the reason why they beat Paris
