(3/4)
On our way to the hospital, there is nothing illiterate Olopa didn't call me. He threatened me that I had better settle him so he can find a way to settle myself and the Keke driver, if not, if he incidents the accident, Police will seize my car and will not release it until I buy Keke driver a new keke.

I just kept quiet.

At the hospital, I paid the bills of the injured people; then we headed off to the Police Station (Shasha). By now, a small crowd of the Keke driver's friends were following us on bike and in Kekes. All of them had not-so-nice words for me.

Getting to Shasha Police Station, we met DTO fortunately. It was around 6:30p.m. and he had changed into mufti and was getting ready to go. In fact, we met him just inside the compound about to enter his vehicle and leave.

Immediately he saw us, he asked illiterate Olopa what the problem was. Illiterate Olopa said there was an accident, and then wanted to start explaining. DTO hushed him.

DTO turned to me and asked me what happened. I explained to him.
DTO turned to Keke driver and asked him what happened. Keke driver explained basically the same thing I had explained earlier.
DTO now turned to illiterate Olopa and asked him to judge the case. Illiterate Olopa went into a tirade. DTO had to hush him again.

DTO: (Pointing to me) This gentleman has done nothing wrong. He braked in an emergency, which was the right thing to do. Or should he have run over the person crossing the road?
DTO: (Pointing at Keke driver) Go and repair your Keke by yourself. Next time, you will know how to regulate your speed behind cars.
DTO: (To everybody) Everybody should go home. There is nothing to incident in this case.

Everybody was dumbfounded. Keke driver and his friends now started begging me that I should at least help my brother (Keke driver) with part payment for repairs. At all, at all, they said I should drop #15,000; that God has blessed me already.

Brother ko, blother ni.
I entered my car and left.
Thunder fire them, no commercial transporter will dent my car out of their stupidity and still had the guts to blame me, after packing that car in Bonny camp, it will be dissect at ladipo next few days if you don't comply. Those illiterate mallams are stupid and wicked.

If you continue with this, in more few years; you would have been good or even better than many mechanics.

This is commendable
Thanks bro.
I started driving since 2002, by then when I visit any mechanic workshop I take note of everything. If I'm not chanced to go there then no repair for my car. In addition, I have a policy, no mechanic drives my car. They've destroyed lots of cars in my presence, and you dare not raise my rpm above 3k no matter what you're doing. I see people fire their engines and it raves very high, I pity such engines. They're doing more harm to that engine.

Haha...baba you kill it! Nothing left to b done.
Mechanics are just reaping us off they all don’t have a conscience. I don’t blame them after all it last we the ignorant once I blame.

Like our Aunty wey dey charge 10k to change just a shock or 5k/hr I really don’t know y someone should charge outrageously just for a simple service all in the name of expertise. Las las they still don’t solve the problem.

Anyways, man must whak!
But shouldn’t be at the expense of your neighbor’s comfort.
The price of ignorance is outrageous, we all pay for our ignorances in one way or the order.

But I don't go mechanics after diagnosis I embark on deep research. Last Saturday I replaced my MAF after a diagnose.
The last thing they did for me was to change my linkage. I didn't want to stress myself with that.

Good morning.... Any ideas please.

In addition, I noticed my car was consuming alot of fuel, so I did a diagnosis on the car and there was a catalytic error. So I asked a panel beater to check the exhaust out for leakages and to check on the catalysts which he confirmed has been stolen.

We proceeded to buying the exhaust manifold and he advised we get a cheaper one for the one at the center then cut to size. However, things improved ever since especially when I am driving within streets or just cruising softly, but I noticed that my fuel drops drastically when I do long distance trips on highways (Google map like giving me directions through the highways) or when I am driving to meet up with time like James Bond.

Seconadly, I noticed the car will always rev high before the gear can change or I will need to release the throttle for it to change.

Please what could be the possible cause of all these.
When was the last time you check the level of your transmission fluid?
When was the last time you replace the fluid?
Was it replaced with the recommended oil?
If you're the type that hit the accelerator to the end and want the car to take off like formula 1 car, then you've issued a death warrant to your transmission, it's going.

As for the fuel consumption, it's normal, it depends on your driving pattern.
Cars fitted with 1. engines are not for highway driving, they're meant for city drive, once you hit higher the story changes.

Fuel consumption is RPM base.
For example, on a highway if you're running 140km/h with a 1.xL engine (Corolla), your rpm may hit 3 - 4K, whereas a car fitted with a 3.0L engine will do same speed with a lower rpm, he burns less fuel than you.

the day I tried DIY I spent extra 15k for my mistake. Wanted to change engine oil I went under d car and loose gear oil nut instead of engine oil nut. After throwing d oil inside gutter I check d gauge and the oil still gauge. Then I realize I’ve made terrible mistake. I called Oga Gazzuzz and he advise me to buy Toyota gear oil. Since then I don’t DIY again. I look for kazeem and give him 1k to change oil.
If you're not conversant with DIY, a little research is required, either in your maintenance manual or online. That's why in my own case I went online to know the firing order. Before I do anything I go through my manuals, then confirm online.

When I wanted guaging my gear oil for the first time I was confused, I search the entire hood I didn't see any dipstick other than engine oil. I left the car for days until I was chanced to go online that's how I discove that I have to go under with some sort of alentkey. Down there might be confusing because you'll see a bolt and the alentkey close to each other. Bolt is for draining.

You have to study the manuals and online as well.

CrimeRe: My Recent Tragic Experience With The Police by calabardick(m): 3:46pm On Jan 09, 2020

My Experience with Nigerian Police officers on my way to PPA.
A Real Life Experience as Narrated to closest Description.


So yesterday I and my friend who are graduated from EKSU who are NYSC corpers resuming in ENUGU for Posting from Ekiti state were stopped AT A CHECKPOINT by The NPF in the bus and one of us was accused of being a fraudster (Yahoo Yahoo) cos he carried a Laptop and there was tape on the webcam.

He was first suspected cos of his Looks. One of the most insane and annoying Reasons to accuse or suspect someone for fraud.
He was separated from all the passengers and our bus was delayed for 30mins everyone had to alight from the bus.

After denying or agreeing to their forceful advise to confess to what he didn't do. The driver of the bus was asked to drop his load.
And they ordered the bus to go. After paying bus fare and our Destination was still far away imagine such cruelty.

I agreed to stay with my friend and refused to agree with their claims. His phone was Seized and denied access to any of his things. I started to make calls but MTN network was so poor in the region, we were at UDI, FRSC Enugu.

I already knew all these was a ploy to extort money from us so I kept vouching for my friend and saying I can't leave him for them to carry on their threat to take him to EFCC office for questioning Without any evidence seen or gotten from their claim, It was a very messed up situation.

After few mins his load was put in their honda car and the Police in charge said they should take him to EFCC.

My friend agreed to accompany them since they started to talk aggressively and forceful.. note: they were armed and it's early 2020. We know what I'm trying to say.

So I went to talk to the officer in command to let us know how my friend can be freed from whatever crime they said he committed, he said my friend and the two other officers would settle it in the car, that any arrangement (bribe/ Extortion) he wants to do he should settle it with them. He said if my friend had agreed to their claim and not played smart he would just leave us to go (A ploy again for us to implicate ourselves) I was so furious inside me but I kept my cool.

They took my friend and were already driving when I refused to let him go alone the oga called them and said I should go with them.
I had already updated my NYSC group chat and asked people to start calling whoever they could to help us out. The Local Gov Inspector was msgd and called, but he was not answering calls, and the corpers were already active to solve the situation we were facing.

In the car the officer asked my friend to open his phone hoping to see any evidence but he found none. They searched even his bank alert notification and were probably disappointed.

He was allowed to make a phone call after much protesting so he called his mum, and explained what happened... She requested to speak to the officer and she did. She told them we are just coming from Ekiti state and that they should check us well and if there was nothing to say we were Yahoo boys we must be released. She told my friend she would start to make calls... That must have scared them.

We both kept our story straight and telling them that we are not fraudsters and by now they would have seen or gotten what they wanted. I explained that I was a photographer and A PR/ influencer and that our dressing or gadgets is not evidence of us as Yahoo boys. My friend also explained to them that he was a computer science graduate and webcams are usually hacked that's why the webcam was covered. By then they had driven us 20 mins away and passed their Police station already when they said we would pay 100,000 to clear ourselves that we have hidden all the evidence. Such bullshit!!! We told them they'll have to kill us to get the 100k that we came to Enugu to get cleared for the allowance from Fed govt.

The officer driving called the oga and spoke their dialect, I was sure he was saying that the ploy or operation was not successful and that we weren't Yahoo boys they wouldn't get any big payday money from us either ways. So I'm sure he was instructed to return, The car was turned around and we headed back to the checkpoint the Oga was waiting.

Well they got tired I guess and the Oga started to say that we must pay for the fuel in their car since we wasted their time... wow another stunner. Inside life.. I thanked God that my thinking and Jasi was like a marlian...

My friend paid 3,000 as bail/fuel money that's what they called it we were released. All this had happened and then calls started to come in. The LI called me to ask what was happening, I was just furious cos his call came in Late after all had happened. I just replied we had been released. He didn't even ask any more questions he just dropped the call. Mtcheewww.
My friend was pissed and frustrated. A bus was stopped for us and we boarded and left.

It's sad how things like this keep happening daily and in the face of the Government and
Top Officials of the Nigerian police force.
Unapproved Checkpoints of which the main purpose is not carried out.
- Unlawful stop and search of passengers based on appearances,
- - checking of people's phones without warrant or real evidence that the owner is a fraudster or Yahoo whatever.
- Brutal assault to unarmed citizens and youths without cause.
The List goes on and on. Something need to be done. And whoever is ready to do the right thing should start with the little they can do.

Your suggestions are welcomed.

elders in d aos, pls i observed that my car
(matrix) which i just got for uber husling is
showing abs, break, check engine and
airbag light. After scanning P0500 error
code was discovered. Pls i need your help as
i don't kno what to do anymore. I dont mind
if u can link me up with any auto electrician/
mech who can fix dis problems. I leave at
ilasamaja mushin road.
Don't let this trouble you.
It's your speed sensor, locate it, follow the wires, rats might have cut it, you don't need any electrician it's a DIY.
I'm busy now I would've tell you the location of this sensor. Some cars have it on the transmission.

I had issue with my car. When driving it will throw the car into limp mode, abs, traction went off. I tried everything it didn't stop.

Took it for a scan at Dunlop close to Lekki central mosque, the computer shows bank 1, 3, etc. can't recall all.
The bill they gave me for the repairs was scary, including injector, fuel pump, abs (most of these companies na scam).

I went back home so sad, spend the whole night online researching. I later realized it's a global problem (2015 4Runner) rat cut my nozzle wires. I put on my coverall the next morning, pull out my tools box, open my engine bay, low and behold rats converted my engine to their palace, feces everywhere. I had difficulty identifying my firing order, I went online again, printed the firing order diagram, came back, Locate cylinder 1, aka bank one, trace the nozzle cable, gbam rat don chop am. I unplugged it, join it, insulate it properly, then connect it back, do same to bank 3. I used that opportunity to replace all my plugs and service the nozzles.

Start the car, everything went normal. I drove to freedom way for a test run and it gave me what I wanted.
Went back to Dunlop, rescan the car and it was perfect, put it in their car wash, they wash the engine bay as well. From there I proceeded to circle mall, buy rat repellant and do the needful.
I went home happily without spending a dime.

Their bill was far above half a million.

You just have to learn how to do most of these things. The only thing I pay for now is alignment and balancing @petrocam.

My engine oil and oil filter I change alone. The transmission have no dip stick, you need alent key, I do it alone.

It will help you if you can
