I write assignments, projects, thesis, and DISSERTATIONS.

Just pick what you can handle.

Later, build your connections.

Nothing fit shock me again.

Chers amis, nous n'avons pas un bon gouvernement au Nigeria. Nous aimons dans les insécurités et les attentes de voir un autre jour.


Sad me.

We have only two political parties in Nigeria: PDP and APC.

The rest are get-together groups.

PDP is APC but criminals to APC when APC is in power and ceteris paribus. They are one.



I can't help but giggle when people differentiate them.

PaNnamdi:
Dear Nigerians
The way the USA is treating us like scrap and disrespectfully recently is very bad.

We must rise and deal with this proud minded Americans.I hereby call on president general buhari to take millitary actions against the USA.

Demanding for the arrest of our hardworking Supercop abba kyari is a slap on the face of general buhari,and well meaning Nigerians.

We must attack USA and teach them lesson that we are the giant of Africa and not chicken out.

But I don tell you say cold Indomie no good for you.

All Nigerian men are quiet until your talk dey enter billing.

That one will not come and tell us about her man now as if being his punch bag is a crime.

It's not about Lagos, bro. Your dumbo is a friend. Sorry, your friend is a dumbo.

If you are smart, no one nowhere can outsmart you. Besides, did Lagos welcome him, didn't he see the “this is Lagos?”

The degree of politics being played cannot produce two-third of the parliamentarians for the unbirthed impeachment.


Corrupt persons impeaching another corrupt person! Man's government was dead on arrival.

There was a name called Luggard.

He was the figure who did the amalgam of the protectorates living in disuntity today for administrative convenience.


His w hore came around and did the naming ceremony, assuming men made by God monkeys.

This was around 1914. Some 46 years later, his lineage, Clifford, MacPherson, Richard, Lyttleton, etc., agreed to abandon the overused entity to rule themselves, after they had suckled the oil they discovered to stupor.

These are people those entities still honour today; people who stole from them.


A sad reality happened. The people who fought to be alone wanted more. They wanted the oil to themselves so they grew themselves so powerful so they must be amongst the system forever.

The circle has been the ones maintaining that entity till today. The w hore called it a Nigga Area.


Today, the oil is and has been controlled by only some few. The peasants are programmed to wail and wail out their views still penury-stricken.

I shall not cry because I am aware there is a government coming to undo all our problems.

(Wipes tears).


Madam Olaniyi, please bring me one bottle of my friend udeme to step down this ofe nsala. Kpọọ m nwa agbọghọ ahụ selling garden egg na akuku that transformer. You know I don't play with that fruit. Also tell those your friends on Nairaland that I am available to write their assignments, thesis, and dissertations, inugo?

Big thing.

Charmerbeautylooks:
They will even be directing u to move a bit further so that u can't view the meter well, claiming its for the nozzle pump to get to ur fuel tank

You are beautifully wise.

huntax:
I'm confused, OP. Do all these things appear on the screen? If so, then I assume we should be able to prevent any scam by simply watching the screen of the metre, because, if not, then we are doomed.

The fastest way to prevent all of it is by coming down, avoid discussions and watch the screen closely.

Gudhrt08:
Am not impressed!

Why sir?

abeloureal:
This your post is not comprehensive enough. I do not understand

Read my second comment again. Updated it with solutions.

drlaykay:
This your explanation hard o
Most of what is written there can only be detected by an experienced person, probably someone who has worked as a fuel attendant previously.
I don't know how I want to know when air is being pumped into my car since I don't live in the tank.
A long nozzle not emptying completely makes sense, but how do I prevent that?
Cut the nozzle to get the remaining fuel?

If metre is adjusted to dispense lesser than what is obtainable, how do we know?

If an old price is recalled, will it automatically reflect on the screen?

These are simply methods used in scamming us and not solutions

Ok boss.

The first thing to do to prevent anything is come down before negotiating price.

Secondly, avoid longer dispensers. You can also know if the meter is recalled by looking at the total fuel put in your truck on the meter (but first, observing what the attendant types will help. If you say ₦5000, and when they press it, you see sth like a very fast figure different from yours, raise alarm). More so, you cannot readily know meters that are reset; majorly all are. You just have to monitor via your purchase using a gallon first.


I hope this helps?

pocohantas:
I am more curious as to why you guys assume we all live amongst hoodlums.

We don’t burn people in this part of the world. That is reserved for you guys in Amukoko, Ijegun, Ilaje, Mushin, Ijeshatedo, Agege…etc

Lol. Funny tho. Even Lekki guys who Bleep up get burnt. Even, angry agberos will heat their flames knowing they are living richer than them.

Hear word you no go hear. I no wan smell suya from tyre o.

I read a post from Pocohantas where an attendant wanted to defraud her.

Next time, do anything else but don't leave with the POS machine..if the attendant started screaming and labelled you a thief, the mobs would have gathered fuel and tyre ..and wouldn't let you talk.


Update: for all those asking what to do, here's a plus:

The first thing to do to prevent anything is come down before negotiating price. When you are down, they can hardly do the air trick. It only happens when you are in the car.

Secondly, avoid longer dispensers. You can also know if the meter is recalled by looking at the total fuel put in your truck on the meter (but first, observing what the attendant types will help. If you say ₦5000, and when they press it, you see sth like a very fast figure different from yours, raise alarm). More so, you cannot readily know meters that are reset; majorly all are.

Five things you should look out for while fuel in a Nigerian fuel station.

Let’s take a look at five things you should look out for in a fuel station, you might find some a little bit weird but that’s the main fact.


The effective and the simplest or easiest way of creating illegal gains is the adulteration of fuel. After series of fractional distillation from crude oil, fuel happens to be one of the product that is gotten from it. Some petrol dealers contaminate the fuel by adding some end product from crude oil residues like the Naphtha.


Well, let's look at what to avoid and do while you are at the station.

First, let's learn to do the right thing to do. It's advisable to always turn off your engine completely before fueling. There are many reasons why you would want to do this.

One of such reasons is because it might cause explosion, and set the place ablaze. Nigerians especially, take this thing for granted until it has happened to one person.

Now, your mobile phones. Mobile phones emit radiation and hence cause fire outbreak. Nigerians can relate to this, they would want to pick calls in that environment because they have not seen it explode and they would often say " nothing dey happen".

Prevention is better than cure. The fuel station is not a place for making calls, it's better you switch off your phone.

You wouldn't want to play with your health, so please try not to bring any thing like cigarettes and matches, which could ignite fire at the fueling station. You would like to return back home safely to your lovely family and friends. Drive safely.



Read on on five things you should know to avoid being defrauded in a Nigerian fuel station.

1. The unnecessary joviality
Fuel station scam are not new anymore! Although the attendants in these pump station receive very low income, especially here in Nigeria, it is not a reason to defraud.

But any attendant that can be smart can make more money out of it by cheating customers by merely acting jovial and stealing your attentions from the meter and dispenser!



2. The meter
When a petrol attendant resumes work in the morning, he takes the reading on the meter, on the fuel dispenser, which is the opening meter. After the sales for the day by the attendant, he / she returns to the manager with the money they sold while taking the rest home. Watch out for registered fuel stations. Many fuel stations reset their meters!

3. The oh-sorry trick
Attendants can scam you using the forgetful trick by nodding to a particular music or doing sth else when you request for a fill up (for example). They will knowingly put a particular liter or amount, then pretend they didn't hear you say fill up.

When you reprimand and correct them, they will apologize and attribute it for forgetfulness.

Now here's the trick: instead of them to reset and start over, they click the recall button and continue but you'll have to pay double. The “recall” helps an attendant recall the last ten purchases. The fraudulent ones can use it to defraud you!

They can recall to an old purchase, say ₦2000, and begin from there to serve you for a deal of ₦5000. You'll only get ₦3000 worth of fuel but pay ₦5000.

4. Always observe the nozzle (fuel dispenser)
When the nozzle is hung properly, it resets to the default; zero. But when not hung properly, they reserve your fuel there to use to sell to others. Also, please note this, longer nozzles automatically reserves your fuel and it goes back to the engine -- enough fuel for them! E shock you?

5. The please-fill-up people
Taking advantage of people requesting for a fill up is very easy for a fraudulent attendant. They may just pump air of ₦3000 for you and fuel of ₦10000. You'll hadly notice if you aren't smart!


I understand this post came as a shocker but you can outsmart them if you come down from your car and watch everything. Even when you are buying in a gallon, don't be carried away by anything

Oh no

Lol.

How old is your stupidity?

Man's government has failed.

6years hell.

I see she is a Muslim.

I recognize the boy: the gigantic nose rings a bell.
Why was she not wearing the hijab when she was taking the gift?

More so, she's wearing a ring now, does it mean the boy is flocking and twisting a married woman like that?

What's all those gangster signs he is making with his hand? And why did he pocket one hand to hide an erection?

In Nigeria, we have two sets of bandits; the legal and the illegal.

The illegal are still legalized but used by those on legal duties to fortify themselves and cause mayhem.

Are you still telling people you have a country?

Ha

C ock and bull remarks.


All of em have skeletons in their cupboards. Wait for it.
