So I used to live in a mini flat somewhere in Lagos, but the space was becoming increasingly smaller for me, and I needed a bigger space because I work from home and needed a bigger space, plus I wanted to plan my life better and possibly start a family soon. So the next flat after mine is a 2-bed, and the tenant there was almost never around; she could go an entire year without spending a night there, but her property is there, and I really wanted a bigger space.

so after a year of staying in the house, i asked the Landlord to give me that flat when the woman finally moves, he assured me she was moving the next year, but she did not move, i messaged him severally but it was out of his control as the woman was not moving, and you know how hectic it is finding a house you like in Lagos, so i had no choice than to renew the rent for my mini flat that year. After renewal, i asked renewed my interest in the 2 bed, hoping the woman would move the next year, the Landlord also assured me she was moving as she has defaulted on her rent, so i was happy to wait, but alas, the woman still did not move, and this time, i was notified just a few weeks to the expiration of my mini flat rent, it was impossibly to start looking for a new house at such short notice, so i had no choice than to put my plans on hold for another year and renew the rent, tho was very sad about it. Now in between those periods, my cousin who stays in Uyo comes to spend a few days with me in Lagos anytime work brings him to Lagos, but that has not always been convenient for me because my fiance is sometimes at my place, and since its just a room an d parlor, it wasn't really very convenient for all of us, so he had to time his coming with my fiance's stay, which is most times not in his control.

Now, back to my story, after I renewed that last rent, I decided to plan better and not renew the rent for that house if the woman in the next flat does not move. During that period, i found out that the man i have known as the Landlord of the house all this while was not he main owner of the house, he was just managing it for his sister who stays abroad, and since he too has a lot of properties, he decided to give out that house to some property managers to handle. On the day of the introduction to the new Property manager, i again met the Landlord and the property manager to renew my interest just in case the woman moves, this time, the property manager followed up with the woman and asked if she had plans on renewing, and she answered in the affirmative, when i got the reply, i started planning on moving houses, but in between, the rents was increased, and i guess that made the woman change her mind on renewing and decided to move out. Now, on the day of her move, she did not notify anyone. I just saw a truck moving things away from the flat, so I reached out to the property manager to ask if she decided to move, and he said she hasn't, so I told him she is actually moving currently. He promised to come check the place out and confirm from her, which he did after some days and she confirmed she was moving, i was happy because i did not exactly want to leave the house as the Landlord has been a very good man, plus, i have built a life in the area and did not want to go far as i will still frequent the area. The property manager asked me to write a letter indicating interest in the 2 bed, i did immediately and he asked me to pay the next day which i was planning to do, only for me to wake up the next morning with a message from him saying the Landlady has declined my request because someone asked for the property before me. I was shocked because it was not even possible, i asked for that house a year after i moved in as it was a brand new house, so it was not even a possibility, i reached out to the Landlord and complained, he said he was going to do something about it, i also reached out to the Landlady to vent my anger, she apologized and promised to sort it out the next week. The next day, the property manager reached out to me to ask if i was still interested, to which i confirmed, he asked when i was making payments, i said immediately, i did not want to take chances this time and asked him to send the company account, but after about an hour, he texted again to say i should not worry about the house again, i was pissed and asked him to never call me concerning that property again. This time, I embraced my fate and planned on moving. When i reached out to my cousin to update him that i will be going elsewhere, a bit farther than my current location which ic loser to his company's lagos branch, he was sad but came up with the idea of renewing the rent still, since he will becoming occasionally, to which i agreed and even decided to pay half of the rent since i was sure i was going to be sleeping there on some days too.

So when i finally moved, i reached out to the property manager to renew my rent and he started accusing me of wanting to sublet the apartment because someone in the house told him i move already. to give a back story, the 2 bed was given to someone who stayed in the same house too, but was close to the Landlady's mum before she passed, so i was denied the apartment not because i came late, but because of background politics and favouritism. I told him i was not moving and only went for a bigger space since he and his madam decided to play background politics and be clearly unfair to me, however, some of my properties are still there and i will be occasionally sleeping there alongside my cousin who everyone in the house has seen at one point or another sleep over. He refused and said the landlady called him for the same issue. I blasted him and told him to ask in the house if they did not know my cousin. He said if my cousin wanted to stay there, he must pay as a new tenant, then i replied it was illegal because it was my rent and he cant be paying to enter a house that already has a valid tenancy, he refused to collect the payment and so i asked him to serve me a quit notice and give me time to find an apartment close by, else, i will be happy to renew. He refused, saying he can only accept 6 months payment and then i will be served a quit notice immediately, i simply told him it was not possible, he either serves me the notice now and gives me 6 months to move, or he collects 1 year and does whatever he wants to do after that. He said his decision was the 6-month payment, and I replied with my own decision, which is a 1-year payment or an immediate quit notice and 6 months.

Now my question is, after everything that played out, am I in the wrong?

Note that my rent will be expiring in 2 days time.

I know PWAN personally.It is owned by Mr Onwumere or something and his wife.
To my mind,they are legitimate and they are a real estate entity.They have been operating for more than 13 years.
The problem is their being in the capital market as what?

Mac Austine Onwumere and Mrs Jane Onwumere, I know them personally too, and they have been in operation for over a decade. Never have I heard of them scamming anyone. Yes, there are allocation delays at times, but they eventually allocate. This is new to me. Even the Lagos state government gave Mrs Jane an award last year. How will a whole governor's wife honor an illegitimate business owner?

Nehyooh:
Bro, we nearly have the same story really. Ex was toxic and violet; she'll hold my trouser, bite me as well. I jilted the disrespectful girl on phone and that's alone pained her so much. She couldn't reach out to any of my family because she had showed her terrible characters to them as well. Very mannerless, self-centered and cheap girl.

Ex is in the past; I don't even want my ex to know anything about me. Private life!

mine was not just toxic and violent o, she was also a prolific cheat, even got another phone and a new Sim to do her fraudulent activities without my knowledge, I found out the day I went to one party and left her at home, while there, I was trying to reach her but it wasn't going through, so I was chatting with my friends wife, she told me her and my gf are chatting, I asked how? WhatsApp messages are not going through, and her phone is off too, na so she say na her second number o, I said what number? She sent it, I kid you not, I no get that number and she has been using it for more than 2 months while frequenting my house for many days and weeks. When I got home, I just called the number and the phone started ringing, I asked her who has it, she said it was her friend's phone, oya open WhatsApp na, she begin beg

That was the moment I knew there was no way I'm going to take her serious again. Found out she had just agreed to start dating a new guy while she was in my house, in fact, she gave him the reply a few days after she came over, she started begging me, promising heaven and earth, so I told myself that I will just use her to 'hold body' before I find a seriouas person, when I eventually found someone I was interested in (who is my fiance now by the way), I was looking for an excuse to run away, so I cloned her phone, all her chats were coming into my mail, all her text messages, and even the number she calls and the ones that called her, the only issue with the software was that I couldn't hear what the calls and voice notes were about, found out she was basically living with another man on the mainland while she lives with me on the island. The man gave her 16 missed calls one night while she was at my place. After the whole thing taya me, that was when I sent her some of her chats to show her say she no wise. That was when she started running all around the country calling everyone she knows to beg me, but coupled with the many other red flags I saw in her, I won't try it even if she comes with a hundred million naira gift for whoever married her. Chief story long o, I see something for that girl hand

Girl wey na me open her eye for island here, she go mainland the eye come tear pass wetin I no know.

MrDoGood:
Waooo
You must have gone through a lot. Pele.
I've never had issues with my ex(s). My first ever girl invited me to her wedding, but I declined. She also wanted me to be amongst the groomsmen. She already told her husband the impact I made in her life (education). I always make sure I have a big positive impact in your life as my partner.

Nahh, no matter the impact someone made in the life of my wife to be, we go get serious issue if I find out she is still communicating with him, talk more of asking him to be my groomsman.

The thought of a man who has tasted what I am buying, being present in my wedding will haunt me forever. I dont keep in contact with any ex, we part on good terms mostly, this was a lone case and it was simply because I refuse to continue the relationship.

MrDoGood:
No need to feel pity for him
She might be very submissive and respectful to him. You can't predict women

Nahh, that lady can hardly be tamed, except you go beat am taya and pray she doesn't kill you, there will only be peace if you become a blind husband. Her anger is the worst I have ever seen in all the women I have dated, she is the first ever lady that has put her hand on me, The man on the other hand looks like someone who begged her to be with him. My friend's wife told me that before they got married, she had never posted the mans pic on any of her social media accounts which his unlike her as my face was all over her social media while we dated, plus, after the marriage too, she never for once posted his picture, the only one she did was a video of her trad. Even her wedding pic was not posted anywhere, even by the guests. She got married without her church's approval too. It was a low-key wedding, no church wedding, just court and trad under closed door.

We had issues one night and she went to knock on the next flat after mine, saying she couldn't sleep in the same house with me, I was so embarrassed, my neighbor has to ask her what happened, after sheexplained, he asked her what state was she from, she told him, he was from the same state too and he said he understood how strong hearted their women can be, but she should never make the mistake of trying to get physical with a man. lets I forget, she is half caste too, so quite pretty. from looking at her and the husband, even you will conclude there is no way she settled for that type of a man. everyone who knew her was shocked, someone even asked me if it was a skit or she is now an actress.

I am her ex, not her enemy. I felt happy for her, but sorry for the guy. I had my own flaws, but this lady is violent, like when she gets angry, you won't believe this is the same sweet girl you know. She once said to me, 'If not for God, I for don kill you this night'. All through, I could not sleep well.

She was very pretty no doubt, and I had the intention of marrying her before I had to run for my life, I even took her home to see my people, after some time, she told me that when we marry, we will move far away, somewhere far from my poeple and her people so they wont come visiting, me that is very big on family? First red flag.

So when I eventually told her I no dey do again, she tried all she could to get us back, even traveling to the middle belt to meet my family to beg me, but I no gree o, about 3 years later, she sent her invitation card to my sister who sent it to me. After my little investigation, I found out -

1. She got married without her father's permission, this is someone who has been taking care of her since she was a baby, sent her to the best schools, until she moved over to the mainland for uni. In fact, she removed his name from her IV, man never attended the wedding as the man sef na tough man.

2. The man she got married to is the exact opposite of everything she stood for in a man. Not good looking, round, very dark, and to top it all, she wasn't tall, probably around 5.4, but she was taller than the husband, plus, he wasn't rich too, so the marriage na mystery.

In summary, I felt happy that she finally got married to someone she can control, but I felt sad for the man cos he will be the wife in the marriage, without a doubt.

I dodged a bullet.

Back in 2016, I know of a guy who has never left the shores of Nigeria before, but was given this same Shenghen visa for Germany. He was a missionary with YWAM, today, he is still touring the world to teach but primarily lives in Germany.

But how are there indigenous Fulani in Jos, how manage?

There are no indigenous Hausa or even Fulani in Jos; they all migrated just like every other non indigenous tribe on the Plateau.

There's a difference between the MAF and the MAP sensor.
The MAP sensor is on the ejector mouth (Throttle body)

Just to add, did you work on the engine, was the timing set properly?
All of these can cause this issue.

However, the rockerarm is still showing as a current error code which is the raising sensor.

checked both. The car's sound changes when you disconnect any of them. When I get that time sha, I will focus on the car and fix it. E be like wetin go collect person money for this Tinubu era.

kelvinmnet:
Where is your location?
I know the map sensor also causes this issue too. check the socket of the map sensor to be sure its fixed properly.

My location is Ajah, Lagos. The socket should be working fine, cos when I turned on the car and removed the socket, the sound changed and the car went off, signaling it still works.

Parrot69:
I thought Gombe is a Muslim state?

Thats why you should try to leave the south a bit.

kelvinmnet:
The raising sensor is right behind the engine bay, I just goggled it now...it wont make your car rev high.

You can also remove the battery terminal for like 5mins and reconnect and check again.

Yeah, that has been changed, yet problem persists, about battery removal, I even recently gave my neighbor my battery when his went flat, so if that was the solution, it would have stopped by the time the battery was brought back. Thanks sir.

Come to iyana school along LASU IBA road early in the morning around 5:30am - 6am, to know if lagos is safe

I was robbed at gun point at first gate around 8pm. The hotel I lodged too was infiltrated by thieves in the night, good thing they didn't come to my room.

That was the first day I heard of thieves in a hotel, I immediately packed my things and ran away from that place. I can not stay around Ojo/Iba even rent free.

I can not count the number of dead bodies beside the road that I have seen in Lagos, and the scary thing is that people are not worried about the corpse, they keep on with their daily business like it's nothing. I have seen 3 different corpses around General paint Ajah on one single Sunday.

I entered a bus and someone was dropping around Nero bus stop sangotedo, as the bus parked, I was the second person sitted in the first row, the first passenger didn't come down to allow for more space for the passenger to alight, so I decided to come down instead. As I was jumping down from the bus without looking, na on top dead body I land o, the driver parked just beside a dead body, basically in front of a hotel, people were transacting business there like it's nothing. I quickly jumped away.

In December, a dead body was even smelling around Malete, left there for long, this February, a dead body was left around Sapphire gardens in this same Lagos, and that's me that don't move around that much o. I come from Jos, and I've seen a lot of crises, but you can hardly ever see corpses on the road, in fact, I have never seen any on a normal day, except when there is unrest, but you see lagos? Na normal thing there.

kelvinmnet:
check and clean the MAP sensor around the throttle body.
Remove the battery terminal for 5mins and reinsert then try again if it gets better.

Another cause of the issue can be a faulty throttle body or raising sensor.
The raising sensor is behind the engine, on the left side.

You can also scan and share the codes here.

The raising sensor I'm guessing is the same as the VTC solenoid. I have gone as far as changing it, problem persisted, my former mechanic removed that of another accord there and tested it on mine, same problem, so the VTC solenoid is not the problem, the MAP sensor too works fine when I tested it. I shared a screenshot of the codes I got from an obd 2 scanner above, but I'm hoping to go for a comprehensive scan soon.

2cribz:
Omo. Its either your injector mouth has malfunctioned or a fuse relating to injector mouth/knock sensor ,has malfunctioned or the brain box has sparked and burnt ..your car is on linp mode. Limp mode comes from a malfunction in gear performance or engine performance. Auch as shorting oil,hesiststion gbim loud force,gear oil contamination, shortage,leak,or generally your ecu is bad. Try to get another ecu and test,if after test same result. Alaye,your engine don sapa be that. Forget obd scanner. Obd scanner codes are limited and reappear afyer a few mileage.... in my own case in 2021,my evil spirit engine oil dried out completely and i was not aware ,as i was high most times. The gear rpm ddnt exceed 2900rpm till i changed the knock sensors,we did every,brought gear down,serviced changed fibre,clutch,etc still problem wasn't solved. Till knock sensors were the culprit i sold it after a month.of cos i fixed the erros and changed the sensors but i didnt want honda any longer. Honda fumbled..

olumayoor:
I had this same issue with my Accord V6 J30A5 engine. I solved mine by unplugging, cleaning, and plugging back the TPS sensor. Mine was under the wiper towards the left of the engine bay when you stand facing it.

Thank you very much, I hope it's really the TPS sensor, but I'll get both the TPS sensor and Knock sensor changed before I go into ECU.

mayor2013:
1st advice Change mechanic
2nd advice get a professional
3rd a professional won't collect a million box
4th why this so many fault codes on your vehicle. Clear codes drive for about 4-5km and rescan and see which ones come back

The mechanic part is done already. I have told him he is clueless when I asked him if he knows the VVT solenoid and he didn't, when I showed him picture, he said that was not the name he knew it as, that it was called 'Raising', He also doesn't know the Knock sensor, I just told him he can't see me again.

The problem is that its difficult to find a mechanic who knows his onions on the island here, I'll have to travel to the mainland, and I don't always have the time to go to the mainland as it usually takes the full day to repair and get back.

The rocker arm code was the only one there before, I was driving about 2 weeks ago one Sunday when I just heard a sound, I opened the bonnet and saw a belt around the compressor area has cut, that was when all those codes came up.

2cribz:
100 percent sure. Its the knock sensor. Maybe bank 1 or bank 2. Also check yoir trans oil if its guaged while gear is on D and handbrake or legbrake on. But im 100% sure its from a bad knock sensor. Just youtube it. Bad knock sensor symptoms

Okay chief, I'll have it changed and see the result. Right now, it takes a second or two before it accelerates, I no longer drive it.

kingreign:
Scan that car.

I have scanned it, I'll attach a screenshot of 2 scans I did. The first one is the one I did before all the repairs, the second one is the most recent one after some repairs. Right now, the car takes about a second before it accelerates when you step on the accelerator. I've just parked it until I am sure of a solution.

2cribz:
Your car has entered limp mode. It wont exceed or even reach 3k rpm. Check the side walls of yojr engine. Your knock sensors are bad. Was there any job done to the transmission

No job done there o. I am very careful about allowing transmission jobs on my car.

Good day house, please i don't know exactly what is wrong with my car, Honda accord, the car just won't go past 3k rpm, we've changed the VTC solenoid, we've tested the VVT solenoid too, and it moves fine, we changed the Oil pump, we've done everything, yet that rocker arm stuck code is still on, and the car still won't go past 3k rpm, once it reaches there, it jerks very hard, gear selects fine, car moves fine, but doesn't go past that 3k rpm.

I'm tired, any one can recommend a very qualified mechanic/workshop in Lagos who can sort this out?

Thank you.

Bro, can you fvck off the screen and let us watch the boxing? Jeez!!

I seriously thought this type of thing will end with their brother Buhari, but here we are, 2 years into Tinubu, this type of thing only happens in Nigeria.

A terrorist will always be a terrorist!

The only way to permanently 'de-radicalize' them is to send them to their 70 virgins.

6. The Olu of Warri (Itsekiri Kingdom, Delta State)

The Olu of Warri is the ruling Monarch of the Itsekiri Kingdom in the middle belt region of Nigeria. The Itsekiri people are a riverine based people, and they refer to their land as Iwerre the Itsekiri are known for their trade, particularly with the Europeans in the pre-colonial and colonial era of Nigeria. The current Olu of Warri is Ogiame Atuwatse III (ascended in 2021).

When did Warri move to the middle belt?

By the way, every first class king is just as powerful as the other, it just depends on the proximity.

Abok! for north no send any Aalafin papa, just the same way An igbo man in Onitsha no send any Sultan papa.

tundegan:
The president's message was clear, the issue in Plateau state is not just about the outsiders but the indigenes themselves are also part of the problem.

The outsiders should be kicked out while the indigenes should be made to sit down and discuss their differences Simple

The indigenes have no 'differences', they Instead have one thing in common, ISLAMIC FULANI Terrorists trying to take their land by force.

For many years, the Berom people have been against the Hausa/Fulani people, and for many years, the majority of Plateau people saw them as trouble makers. I remember years ago as kids, I used to spend my new years in Kwall, Bassa, the same LGA that was recently attacked, in fact, I once slept at a friend's family house located in one of the attacked communities. Each time I went there, the level of romance between the Fulani and the Irigwe people was astonishing, these people live in the communities, speaks their Irigwe language fluently, and even inter marry, I knew it was only a matter of time, and here we are.

OVER ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE KILLED IN ONE WEEK: LET'S CALL A SPADE A SPADE

I offer my deepest condolences to the government and people of Plateau State in the wake of the recent wave of attacks that have claimed numerous innocent lives. These senseless killings have caused pain and suffering for our great state and its people, and we must take immediate action to put an end to this violence.

I commend Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang for his tireless efforts to find a lasting solution to this crisis. His dedication to the safety and well-being of Plateau citizens is truly commendable. I also applaud President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his determination to stop the senseless killings of innocent citizens. His commitment to protecting the lives of Nigerians, particularly those in Plateau State, is a positive step forward.

However, I believe it is important to address a misconception in the President's recent statement directing Governor Mutfwang to resolve the "communal issue." This suggestion appears to stem from inaccurate briefings by his advisers. The attacks in Plateau State are not merely communal disputes; they are perpetrated by a known group with a specific agenda . It is crucial for the President to understand the true nature of these attacks in order to address them effectively.

Additionally, I advise President Tinubu to convene an expanded meeting with community leaders to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in Plateau State. Such a meeting would provide a platform for stakeholders to share their insights and experiences, enabling the President to develop a more informed approach to tackling this problem.

I urge the people of Plateau State to remain strong and resist any attempts to undermine their existence. As peace-loving and welcoming citizens, we have endured enough. It is time for us to defend ourselves against these aggressors and demand justice. I call upon the people of Plateau State to stay united, vigilant and proactive in the face of these attacks.

May I reiterate my condolences to the families of the victims and reaffirm my commitment to standing with the people of Plateau State during this difficult time.

iykololo:
I can understand kaduna only. Jos, hmmmn. Plateau needs to be safe first. Minna is a no no. kano uncertain.

Who says Jos isn't safe?

Y'all hear that people were killed in Plateau state and you automatically conclude Jos isn't safe. When was the last time you heard people were killed in Jos?

In case you don't know, roughly 5 of lagos will fit into Plateau State, so the fact that they killed 10 people in badagry or ikorodu doesn't automatically translate to Eti Osa or Lagos state is not safe.

GloriousGbola:
i was at VIO. last week. my plates are faded. they cannot be read by a camera. i was asked to get new plates. the guy i use said 30k, three weeks. paid on monday

waiting now

That's the difference, I did a whole new registration, ask him how much is a new car registration and hear the price.

hosemujica:
There’s nowhere it says they are exempted. If so then it’s just useless.

First of all, how many commercial busses care to go renew their registrations?

Secondly, will the police chase anybody flouting the order? Of course not, they will simply wait till when you want to renew your papers, then they will pile up the bills for you, now how many dango busses even have car papers at all?

GloriousGbola:
this is not true.

i am paying 30k for my plates

Where are you paying 30k at?

carbonado:
....Can you get other state plate while in Lagos or you have to travel down to get it? If you can get it in Lagos, how do you go about it?

I am from Jos, so I've got countless connects there, just few calls and it was delivered to me via GIG logistics here in Lagos.

There is a reason why I got my Plates from far away Plateau State when the I can do it at a trekable distance from me here in Lagos.


Secondly, Lagos plate was at least 100k
Plateau plate was 45k to wait for 1 week, and 50k for 24 hours.

Rates are less than 3 days old.

No better bargain for peace of mind.

BTW, 80km on 3MB needs to be adjusted, commercial busses are also exempted. What a country.

kingreign:
You nay have to open the vtc and vtc sensor and vtc solenoid and inspect the screen, if it's fine and not leaking, run a live data scan on the intake and exhaust cam to observe the behavior. Your mechanic may have to eventually replace the intake camshaftif it's worn out.

Chief this your English too plenty for me o, and I don't want to take it to any mumu Mech that will complicate issues, is your office in Lagos? Let me find time and come?
