Car TalkRe: How Often Do You Look Under Your Bonnet? by bigmo1(m): 4:35am On Sep 28, 2012
Ikenna351: Seriously?

Back then at Awka, when i was a kid, dad took his Peugeot 504 GL to mechanic workshop for some repairs. The next morning, he drove off with mum and my brother. While they were still in the street, they saw smoke coming out from the bonnet and yet the engine was still running. He quickly stopped the car, forcefully opened the bonnet and boom! Fire! The opening of the bonnet brought in air into the engine bay and set it on fire. With the help of people that gathered, they were able to stop the fire before it could do severe damage. It was when he came back to house that he told us the mechanic removed the fuel hose from carburretor to get some fuel to wash his hand after he had finshed what he repaired. Probably, he forgot to clamp the hose back properly. So, the hose was spraying fuel on the engine, since it wasnt clamped well, which he would have seen if he had opened the bonnet that morning before he drove out.

3 months ago, i woke up and prepared for work. I entered my Peugeot 505 V6, cranked the engine and it started. As i was about to drive out, a thought came to me " when was the last you checked to be sure everything fine in the engine bay?” So I left the engine idling and opened the bonnet. Lo and behold! The return fuel line, attached to the Fuel Pressure Regulator, was spraying fuel on the intake manifold, from the spot where it was clamped. Hmm! I quickly rushed and switched off the engine. Taking a closer look, i saw that the clamp on the hose had eaten deep into the hose and cut it a little bit. So considering the amount of fuel pressure from that end, it was enough to set the whole engine into fire, if i had driven off without checking and the engine gets hot. I had a similar experience with my 605 V6, when i first bought it, though, from a different spot.

Rat! Has anyone ever opened his bonnet, only to discover that Rat has visited his engine bay, eaten off some of the wires and exposed them ( naked) to be touching each other ( positive and negative). Do you know what would happen if you drive off, and somewhere, you have a naked or exposed positive wire very close to the ground or body of the car? As soon as you jump gallop or climp something, the car will shake and the naked wire will touch what it shouldn't touch. The outcome is what i believe everybody would know. I didnt use my 605 V6 for two days. The 3rd day, i decided to drive it to work that day, instead of my 505 V6. When i opened the bonnet, there before me was a rat on my engine. Well, it ran out. But it had chopped off the battery positive wire to the car horn relay. And also the two wires of headlights relay. Luckily, i traced back their sources and reconnected them. Only God knows what would have happened if i didnt check before starting car. Luckily, as i was driving out of the compound, the rat wanted to jump out of the car when it realised the car was moving (though, i thought the rat was no longer in the car). Unfortunately for it, one of the car tyres crushed it skull. How it fell under the tyre, i didnt know.

I dont know about you, but i have seen a lot of cars, both new and used, caught fire in the middle of the road and burnt into ashes. No accident, nothing. They just all of a sudden will start smoking. And before you know it, fire!

Of course, it is said experience is the best teacher. I learnt from the mistake of my father and have been doing my best not to make same mistake. But you can wait till you experience it before you finally know if its safe to be opening your car bonnet once in a while or not.

One thing about us is that we are good at " Everybody does it", so why not join the wagon? But everybody didnot contribute money for you to buy the car. So, everybody will not contribute money to replace the car for you, when you lose it. We can only sympathize with you.

So, you can choose to make sure what you laboured to acquire is intact, by doing physical check, other than what your instrument cluster tells or shows you. Or can still choose to believe that opening of car bonnet for checks, if for poor people that drive scraps in the name of cars.

Ikenna.
Food for tot, this really got me thinking. I pop my hood only when I want to travel out of state. But after reading this, *with hand on my chest* I pledge to always open my bonnet everyday, no, once in 2 days, so help me God'

Mbanu, every country has her slumps but they chose to showcase their best Cities to the world.Its called PR. I dont blame you, people like you keep washing toilets for white men simply because you hate the color of your own skin. I see no reason why Rick Ross should come to my country and display the slums on worldwide screens without doing justice to the elite class environments too. Can Rick Ross do that in USA ?
Its just a damn musical video. If you don't like it, strap å bomb around your stomach and hit the 'detonate' button. They also showcase their slums in musical videos and movies, they showcase murder drugs, nudity, crime, violence and lots of other negative stuffs. Watch d movie Omo-Ghetto, Funke Akindele did å good job, showcasing the slum too. Don't know why your likes are whining like babies over the video. You rather tell your Government to rehabilitate the slums and improve the lives of the poor.

Politics1 Year Imprisonment To Persons Who Do Not Beautify Their Perimeter by bigmo1(op): 7:51am On Sep 20, 2012
I just came across the news that the Lagos. State Govt is introducing the Lagos Parks Garden Law, which one of the laws would be N50,000 fine or 1 year imprisonment to persons who do not beautify his perimeter or property. I sincerely hope this is not true because it seems Fasola is going over board with his new irrational laws. In a state where å lot of people can barely feed themselves and afford even the basic things they need, and the LASG expects them to spend the little or nothing they have to plant flowers, create lawns and constantly maintain them. I think Fasola is getting out of hand ☺!

TV/MoviesNBC Bans Wande Coal’s “go Low” Video by bigmo1(op): 11:10am On Sep 02, 2012
Wande Coal‘s latest music video, ‘Go low’ has been given the sledge hammer treatment as it received a ban from the National Broadcasting Commission, barely two weeks after it was premiered.
We’re told the NBC has released a list of videos which included the MAVIN Records’ video which was directed and shot by Mr Moe Musa in the UK. The NTBB (not to be broadcast) ban however only restricts the video from being played on ‘Free-to-air’ TV stations. What this means is that viewers of cable TV stations can still watch the video as the
ban doesn’t affect them from playing it.
If you remember Kenny Saint-Best disapproval of the video on twitter where she accused Wande Coal and Don Jazzy of re-introducing nudity back to music. KSB might be right afterall

Amalaaba: Sir, He has shown extreme greed from time. For your information, Barth has been involved in all the Power reform committees right from Obasanjo days. He used his influence to start the Abuja/Aba Power plants, while serving in these numerous committees. PHCN officials have always accused him of fraud and i still question the sack of those Directors, earlier this year, who i understand actually challenged his double face attitude in policies.

To me, he is one of the greatest diaspora import by Nigeria to solve our power problems, but i strongly believe that by being a regulator and Industry player at the same time, he has lost the moral standpoint. Let us call a spade by its name. He behaved fraudulently, that was why he was fired. If he did that in America, where he studied, he would be on his way to JAIL now! Period.

Reacting to the sack of the Minister, General
Secretary of the Senior Staff Association of
Electricity and Allied Companies, SSSAEAC,
Comrade Abiodun Ogunsegha, told Vanguard on
phone that the entire workers of the Power Holding
Company of Nigeria, PHCN, were extremely happy.
He said: “God has eventually answered our prayers
and made the government to listen to us. It is
obvious that the government has noted his several
misdeeds. We are all very happy. In fact, we thank
God for answering our prayers. We hope the
government will appoint a right person that will
carry all stakeholders along, especially the union to
give Nigeria a stable power supply”.
In his own reaction, General Secretary of the
National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE,
Comrade Joe Ajaero said, though the reason
adduced for his resignation, was unclear, the union
had, for some time now, been calling for his
resignation based on strong allegation of
corruption.
According to him: ‘The reason for his resignation
was very unclear. We would have been happier if
the reasons were made known. However, we have
been calling on him to resign. We still stand on the
demand because of the strong evidence we have.
You are aware that in recent time, the issue of his
conflict of interest has been in the front burner'.
For those singing the 'Integrity' chorus, you are only fooling yourselves. I am not doubting Nnaji's competence and performance, but integrity? Please tell that to the birds. If he had stayed å few days more, there would have been another scandal on Jonathan's head, and that he cannot afford at the moment. ACN, El- Rufai and other critics are waiting. The guy just had to leave ASAP. Plus His company can go ahead with their bid and they might be the eventual winners. Please stop singing that integrity song.

ACM10: This is the last time that I will address your off-topic jab. It seems like someone is doing a hackjob with his second handle. I wont go down with you in your emotional and factless debates. I repeat that I've never read in a book where an author specifically wrote that Awolowo insisted that "secession clause" be included in the constitution. Awolowo only asked for a loose fedration and never insisted on that. Feel free to support your assertion with evidence. Parroting internet junks doesn't wash with me. Below are the names of people that carried out the January 1966 coup. They are 11 Anioma Igbos and 6 Yorubas. I mean the ORIGINAL PLANNERS AND EXECUTIONERS.

WALE ADEMOYEGA - YORUBA LIEUTENANT,
FOLA OLAFIMIHA - YORUBA LIEUTENANT,

MAJOR, ALBERT OKONKWO - ANIOMA IGBO
CAPTAIN, HENRY IGBOBA - ANIOMA IGBOS
Col.Trimnell- Anioma Igbo
Col. Nzefili - Anioma Igbo
Lt. Col Animam Keshi - Delta Igbo
Col. Ejoor - Edo/Yoruba
MAJOR ALALE - IJAW MAN

As I remarked initially, I wont respond again to your off-topic jab. If you don't contribute intelligently to the topic, then I will be forced to ignore you.
Must you always go to any length to prove your point. Everyone now distorts history to drive home their point or make their sides of the arguement sound more superior. Col. Banjo and Col. Ejoor were never part of the coup. How Col. Banjo landed in Eastern prison is another story and it's of Ironsi's game plan. The other colonels you mentioned might be false as well but i won't argue what i am not sure off. The truth is that you went to war, you lost the war, you surely should lose everything but for the sake of humanity, the Nigerian state spared you. After you surrendered they could have gone for total annihilation of your race but they declared 'No victor, No Vanquish'. They granted your warlords pardon and restored their military honours, some of the Ibo property owners in the west got their properties back, some of you got £20, you were integrated back into the society when the eventual winners could have enslaved everyone of you. At least you folks should show some appreciation and stop crying over spilled milk. Forget the past and let's make the future better for all of us. We all made mistakes in the past. War has no gains, only a few selfishly benefit from war.
PoliticsRe: Post-civil War Indigenization Policy And Its Far-reaching Consequences by bigmo1(m): 2:32pm On Aug 26, 2012
Dede, Afam4eva, Acm and Co, you guys are hell bent on continueing the kind of propaganda that killed millions of your fathers, mothers, uncles and aunts. Ojukwu with His own personal ambition led a gullible tribe of people into fighting a war that was not properly planned and we know the end result. Please let the sleeping dog lie o! Cos the next civil war will not be fought with ogbunigwe. Nobody will be spared not even lizards.
Back to the topic:
The nationalization and Indigenization policy became an issue shortly after independence. And this were championed by parliarmentarians from Awo's party. These where the true Pan-Nigerianists who wanted Nigerians to take over every thing that was in control by the British. In their own opinion, it will reflect the sovereignty that has been granted to the new independent Nation. In other words, they were asking for economic and commercial independence just as political independence. Remember these were the same guyz that first moved the motion for independence. Eventual political events, witch hunting of opposition on trumped up treason charges, military coup and counter coups and the Biafra war overshadowed the clamour for the policy. Few years after the war, enacting the policy became an issue again and this was championed by Ime Ebong, Allison Ayida, and Phillip Asiodu, who were all ministers in Gowon's govt and none of them is from the south west. It is true that most yorubas became owners of most the companies not because of Awolowo like some idioits are trying to make us believe.
