emmysenior: yeye COWard. Nonsense. Stop giving the useless bokoharam.

chuchutech: hahahahaha, darkhand oo, u have really messed up your portfolio here. Its better you stop this scam, learn from this quote. "...in this world, ppl are paid in two coins... Experience or Money, take the experience first..., Money will come later" don't rush to make fast money when you haven't learnt. I started learning webdesign 2007 but i made my first cash in 2010. Three yrs experience has paid me well!

yungboss: i like the e34 535i, my mechanic uses the car but he says its a gas guzzler, i saw one in pristine shape and it looked really amazing.

thelastPope: There is nothing that can tarnish the north's image more than almost 50 years of misrule, plunder and wanton destruction of Nigeria while chanting one Nigeriya! The north has done a good job of that. No one needs to do more.

Give it up. The only people that will believe such articles are the same traitors that betrayed us southerners in 1967, 1994 and 1998. They are trying to betray us again but we are far wiser now. Can't you see the SS and SE have made up their minds? Open your eyes. Now we have forged a strong alliance with the NC who have also been terribly marginalised and mess up both by the NE/NW and some of their own leaders. Nobody will buy your story anymore. You guys destroyed and plundered Nigeria and used divide and rule tactics to turn us against each other. It will never work again.

Why do you think nobody cared about the last subsidy protest in the SS and SE? Only your slaves will believe your crap again. We are fed up of it. We will get equity whether you like it or not.

Ikenna351: Whenever am embarking on a journey or long distance driving, I would slot in my 2pac's MP3 and thats it. Sometimes i would slot in the Deathrow record jams of the '90s (sorry, i dont do Nigerian music). But my favourite is Pac. Love listening to his prophesies when am driving, especially for such long hours of driving. His lyrics keeps me active.

Ever slept off? No. But have felt sleepy twice, along Abuja - Enugu expressway (but thanks to manual transmission). Manual tranny always keep all parts of my body active: two legs and both hands. Its ideal to park and take a nap before continuing on the journey if one is feeling sleepy, but only if you are in a safe zone. You cant just park anywhere, considereing how safe our highways are, in the middle of nowhere. In such situation, shifting the stick up and down, moving your two hands to steer the wheel and change the gears freqently, and calculating with the engine sound to know when to change the gear to a higher one, kind of keeps me active and before i know it, the sleepy feeling or fatigue would be gone. Or at least, it will help you get to a safe place where you can park and sleep as long as you want.

I know some of you would blame one for not sleeping enough the previous night before starting a journey. But there are situations you may find yourself sleeping late and you still need to make that journey the next morning. Those that do frequent long distance driving would understand. Even when you work tirelessly the previous day and went to bed early, you will still experience fatigue few hours into the journey the next day.

well said!
driving an automatic cars while too tired on long distance highways is the most reason! and believe or not not, its very prevailent. only the lucky ones live to share experience. thank God for potholes attimes.

If you are the type that love cool musics, make sure you take those cds far away from the drivers seat. Dont even think of playing any. Because that cool music you love could land you in mortuary. I remembered in one of my drive from Abuja to Enugu, someone joined me in that journey. Shortly after Ajaokuta, he said he didnt like the music i was playing that he wanted to listen to something else. He put in my lucky Dube that i play only when driving in the city. Few mins later, sleep came from nowhere. By the time i looked at him to tell him to remove the lucky Dube, he had dozed off. I quickly removed and threw the cd at the back seat and put back what i was listening to before. Since that day, i made up my mind, as long as am the one on the steering wheel, i decide the music to be played. Hate me if you like. My car, my rules. I wont again put my life in danger just to impress a Passenger, no matter how close or how much i care about the person or the passenger.


One more thing, if you are driving on a highway and your passenger starts sleeping, even if the passenger is your wife, ask her to relocate to the rear seats. Its better you guys fight when you get to your destination over that, than both of you ending up in the Hospital or Mortuary. Its your call.

Ikenna.

honeric01: I hope you don't get JYPized at the end of the day.
