chibabe3: My 1998 C180 Mercedes Benz was brought by the dealer without any spare key (sucking) and it has been difficult getting one. I will appreciate your advice on how to procure a spare key for this ride. Thanks.

ryanini: Still available?

very much available

tyson55: It's pity it has to be this way...

pitiful, but true...

A great man once said that a thing that must be done, should be done properly. Ok, I made that up. But it is true. No point flopping at something you can’t escape.

Somehow we all must die. Even if you cheat death like Mugabe who at 120 is still insisting on ruling Zimbabwe, someday it must all end. This, no one can control. But how we die, this is more important than dying itself. Because to die without a ripple, without some stirring in the air, is to never have lived.

Again, in Nigeria, death is friendly with people of all ages. You may be a teenager in the first year of university or a boy in secondary school. You may be a middle aged woman or travelling for a funeral service. Death stops you to say hello. This is how to die in Nigeria.

One way to die is to ensure that in life, you did something worth remembering. This action need not be good or exemplary. In Nigeria no one cares if you were good or evil when you die. The only crime is dying without having done anything. Or dying so poor no one knows your name. In Nigeria death, especially the death of someone rich or powerful, confers sainthood that cannot be challenged. Coup plotters and government thieves assume the title of elder statesmen and heroes of the nation. It will become forbidden to dig into your wicked past and you will be beatified. You may even get a posthumous national award. And most importantly, the newspapers will carry ads about your unfortunate exit or call to glory. In this way your death will have a meaning. So, please, if you must die in Nigeria, acquire power and wealth. I don’t care how. And when you die, no one will.

Do not die in the company of important people if you yourself have not attained importance or notoriety. This is crucial. If you go and die in the company of an ex governor or ex militant, the news will say Governor so-and-so has died in a ghastly motor accident. Also deceased are two males traveling in his convoy. No one will know which of the two males you are. You will pass on into oblivion without so much as an ad in the paper. Because in Nigeria, you are a number unless you are important.

The only exception to this is dying in a plane crash. This is the most respectable death for persons without a title to their name. The flight manifest also makes it possible to have a full list of everyone on board. Usually this list is published and somehow the world will receive notice of your untimely death. Your name will appear in full in newspapers and news reports. Your death will matter.

Do not make the mistake of dying in a luxurious bus accident. You do not want to go out with the headline ‘Dozens perish in bus crash’. To die is one thing. To perish is quite another. If you are unfortunate the reporter will say something like ‘25 crushed to death’ with an emphasis on the crushing instead of the dying. All people will see in their heads will be human flesh being crushed. No face. No identity. No names.

One of the worst places to die however is in a terrorist attack. Nigeria is not Kenya that respectfully identifies people by name in a terrorist attack even they may be more than 50. Here, when a terrorist kills you whether as a student in a school or a traveler on the road, you become a summarized number. An official of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) was once quoted as saying that when fatalities occur in a conflict situation, they feel duty bound to reduce the figures, so as not to escalate the crises. So if there are 200 deaths, NEMA may report 60. Imagine being summarized. Not even counted as a whole dead figure. So if you run into a terrorist bent on taking your life, beg the man. tell him you are not opposed to dying for his cause. Plead with him to try something else, maybe make a video or something. Because it would be a tragedy to fade into oblivion, unannounced.

One great way to die is to die on camera. Hundreds, including school children may die or be slaughtered every month in Maiduguri and Nigerians will go about their daily activities. Because in their heads Maiduguri is one faraway North Eastern state that could pass for Chadian or Nigerien territory. In their heads 160 killed in Borno is what it is, a number. But if you have your death captured on tape, perfect. Then you can have hash-tags with your name on Twitter and NGO’s calling for legislation to outlaw whatever type of knife they used to stab you. People will grant interviews and write hundreds of badly written blogs about you. A bad blog post with a link to your video or a photo of you gotten from Facebook is better than dying as a number.

You cannot leave your death to chance. Remember that to die is human but to die well is divine.

no sir!! one wife is enough headache already. i would want to live long enough to enjoy my wealth.

biggiyke: your car has too many plugs. i guess that's why it's revving itself. my advice to you is this; remove four of the plugs. drive it for awhile and tell us what you notice different.

only then can we be of help to you here

@lomomike
some Honda city have Intelligence-dual and sequential Ignition (I-DSI).Which means 2 spark plugs are employed in each cylinder making a total of 8 spark plugs instead of 4. This ensures utilizing every drop of fuel thrown into the cylinders leading to better mpg. So op, check the plugs again, make sure they are OEM recommended and don't remove any of the plugs like someone suggested. Also for the D light flashing, scan the car and post the codes. Might be a solenoid on the gearbox or probably u need to change the ATF.

as for the jerking, a lot of things can cause this, not just plugs. Might be fuel pump, maf sensor, rocker arm actuator, etc. So u need to scan ur car.

biggiyke: interesting. we learn everyday, don't we all love nairaland?
thanks for the enlightenment.

car-doctor:
I will really like to know where you got your mechanic experience from. Under a tree I suppose. Please stop giving advices that could lead to more problems to members on this forum.

I can't get your logic that the car engine has too many plugs. That's how the engine was designed and built and I believe that the car has always ran on 8 plugs prior to the op having the issues presented.

Your advice to the op to remove 4 of the 8 plugs and drive the car around for a while could lead to other issues coming up. Where would the sparks meant for the removed plugs go? How do you disable the ignition circuit for the removed plugs? You could end up frying up the ecu in the process.

@op. Please ignore this guys advice.

Car-Doctor.

mr car-doctor, or whatever, dont take this life too seriously.....relax a little, ok?

Cute pessy: Natin will happen to him... If am stil a kid i would av said first to comment... Buh. Am nt.

feel free

Whatever happened to my best celebration of 2013? Whatever happened to my brother Sunday Mba? If na from village, abeg make una leave am o.....

I think the general notion of Nigerians about ABS stems from their misinterpretation of the acronym ABS. Most Nigerian car owners and mechanics think ABS means Automatic Brake System; hence their abuse of the system.

ABS actually stands for Anti-Lock Braking System, whose sole aim is to prevent locking of the wheels during scenarios such as hard braking, braking in wet/slippery or uneven surface. It gives the driver better steering control unlike non-ABS cars that can experience wheel-lock, causing skidding (or screeching ) etc.

Ketimae: Mz Vox,
Because you stole my work, I have had to join Nairaland today. I am not happy at the way you refused to do the right thing and acknowledge that this is my work. Instead, you've verbally abused those who called you out for doing so. I could bring legal action against you for this, because the work is under copyright, but I won't.
I'm not saying you shouldn't share for others to learn. But for Pete's sake, if you copy someone's work, have the DECENCY to write down the author's name!

Welcome to Nairaland, land of a little bit of this and a little bit of that, where nothing is ever what it seems and everything is never what it ought to be.

great

Mz Vox, as much as you did great sharing this article here, courtesy demands that you credit the original author. Instead of taking all the glory for someone else's effort. I know the original author of this article. She's a sister and friend on facebook. Do the right thing, edit your post, give credit to your source.

I would have posted the facebook link of the author, but I need her permission to do that. Nigerians should learn proper etiquette when it comes to copyright.

Thank you.
