QuotaSystem:
To be fair, the police have been auctioning recovered but unclaimed vehicles after advertising them in national dailies for as long as I can remember. The original owner must have missed the advertisements and the vehicle was auctioned to another person for a low price. I can only fault the police for not contacting the original owner once the car was found, since he had already made a report and presumably dropped his contact details.

The owners best option is probably to contact the successful buyer and persuade him to give back the car after paying him what it cost him at the auction; this is because the auction is a legally recognized and regulated process.

My two cents.

The owner of the stolen made an official report to the police in the same city. In fact the stations in questions are just few kilometres apart. How can you possibly defend such obvious deliberate corruption on the part of the police.

The very essence of making the report, which for a stolen vehicle is expensive to do, is for the police to contact the owner if the vehicle is recovered.
The person actually pays a fee for the report for that purpose.

It is dumb and inexcusable to auction a vehicle on the premise that the owner did not see an advert. Vehicles are registered, they have chasis and engine numbers and can easily be traced from FRSC or customs.

Your comment is just provocative.

An act of extremism.

The measure may appear so but for place like Singapore it isn't.
Rather it is an act of foresight to prevent chaos in the future, a culture we should imbibe.

No it isn't.

Hahahahhahhaha... You funny die . . I swear the bank is so fine these days... And do you know through their app, you can connect with their customer service through whatsapp feature... I was surprised to see it.

You have any issues, you just whatsapp them with the complaints, your case is treated asap.

Something good is really coming out from the bank.

The bank has greatly improved their services. I lost my zenith bank ATM card a few days before I was due to travel and was told that I cannot get a new one in that branch in less than a week and I cannot use it outside the country even if I got it.
I remembered I had a union bank account that was lying dormant and decided to try my luck. To my surprise I was told I could get my card the same day and it would be activated for use outside the country within 24 hours. I walked out of the bank with the card and travelled with it some days later and used it for all my transactions.

I started from the main gate, WTC has 2gates......

The first main gate near the CRC church
And the second gate near unec

Sorry the pictures were too large, had to reduce the mb

The Palm trees in the median is what I really like.

Enugu has a relatively high tree density something it should try as much as possible to maintain and improve upon.

spyder880:
But if they do well, we should also praise them, they started to repaint our kerbs on major roads since last week. The government of Enugu state must have awarded this contract.....

Good development

They should also consider repainting the road markings
,that will really bring out the shine and beauty

These are not too expensive maintenance projects that can make a lot of difference on the outlook of the city.

spyder880:
I am standing at the Amechi road junction of Agbani road right now, and this is just unbearable, the stench is overpowering, an epidemic can start anytime as the refuse has blocked the open drainage.

Where is Eswama? it's like this at Coal camp, Abakpa, Trans Ekulu, Obiagu, Emene and Ogui areas.

Terrible eyesore.

Is ESWAMA incapable of establishing a daily routine that works.

Must they be coerced to do their job.

ajibsca:
It is far from that . The Rwandans were very hostile and I suspect because some Nigerians have engaged in using their routes for drug smuggling.They even brought in sniffer dogs when we were all seated with our luggage in the transit hall . All in all, I am not impressed by that country with their small airport that has little or no activities. Looks like an Islamic state.

That's unfortunate

ajibsca:
Ethiopia airline should do it. I once flew Rwanda air about 3 yrs back. Was the most uncomfortable flight I've been in with no where to hang ur leg,small chairs and worst of all the screen . You have 1 screen to 3 people not the usual of you having your own screen and we all have to watch same thing meaning you can't watch movies of your choice or anything u like . I had to go to their office in Dubai to ask if I could get a refund for my return ticket but it wasn't feasible. To worsen the whole journey ,the officials at their airport seized all drinks I bought in Dubai duty free (about 4 bottles of Jack Daniels) as well as other peoples food items etc said they won't allow anybody board with food or drinks. The stupid official even told me its either I drink my whisky or leave it so I had to ask him is that how you drink whisky? To cut the story short, I had to almost finish my bottle of Jack Daniels before entering the flight.

It is your responsibility as a traveller to check if the airline you intend to travel with has any specific rules especially as regards items that are not allowed unto the plane as carry on luggage.

Eleganza33:
lets travel 2geda den

Lol Sorry you 're kind of late.

Went on a one week trip to Singapore.
In my connecting flight I was the only black person on the fully booked 767 and I recall the ticket attendant kept looking at me like say I miss road when I wanted to board.

Despite being a "global" city the only other black person I saw was on a movie set being shot in the street.
You can't chew gum in public and could get arrested and charged a fine for that. Overall, it is a beautiful and super clean place.
I cancelled my proposed trip to Bali an even more obscure destination.

Still love travelling, guess I just won't be doing that alone.

Caracals can be friendly when domesticated but are a handful.
I've handled one before. I really must visit Yankari sometime

adanny01:
In fact, we were driving into Yakari (student excursion) and we met a worker trekking. His bike had broken down and time was running out. The road was deserted until we arrived. As we let him in and started moving, a boy shouted, i can see a lion. The cubs were the closest to us playing, females behind them watching and others pacing. It was much later we spotted the male a little far behind. It was faint but only those with good sight could see it. We were told how lucky we were to behold such a sight.

My dad before retirement planned severally for a family vacation but it never happened.

You are so lucky.
I love wildlife and I've been to the Kruger twice yet didn't get to see lions.
Maybe I'll try my luck with Yankari or Masai Mara (Kenya). I would love to see lions roaming freely in their natural habitat.

BTT:
Indeed to each his own.

The V6/6 cylinders vehicles are smooth and noiseless indeed. Remember too that our engineers say they are more complex to build. I remembered watching a documentary on guns and the narrator, after basically comparing time and ease of assembly and dessembly, concluded that the AK47 was poor technology.

The I4 is, though not necessarily true, both fuel economical and pocket-friendly.

Like I use to say, the day you will realize that Nigerians' love for the Corolla is not genuine is when they come solely fitted with 6cyls. We had our cake, we want our cake. Trust us, many would read all of our 'rants' and say, 'yes! very true' but when the real choice calls, they'd conveniently go the i4 way.

I have driven and owned both, and agree with a number of the op's point. However, my current i4 dog does brilliantly in terms of torque, compression and quiet. It always cheerfully competes and often humbles some 6cyls on the highway.

But you see, whatever rocks your boat.

Your i4 humbling V6s is very subjective.
I can sincerely tell you that most of the time the other person is not in the mood.
For me when I see a corolla buzzing annoyingly behind me especially when there are potholes and I'm trying not to burst a shock i just let the person pass.

Unless of course you are driving a turbo charged high hp car then you can compete with a v6

Are we supposed to celebrate irresponsibility.

beauty queen ko beauty queen ni all dey fined men wey get money.
when she starts looking old hope the man won't cheat on her.

and when the man pocket becomes empty pray she doesn't dump him for another man.

All you needed to say was happy married life or nothing at all.

ESWAMA seems to be dead.

Their waste disposal is grossly inadequate. I believe this is deliberate with the endpoint being juicy contracts awarded to cronies.
Whereas the funds could be used to fix the refuse disposal trucks or procure new ones.

Looks like the government is not capable of maintaining basic infrastructure in the capital.
Even if he has sworn not to commence new projects, he should at least maintain the existing ones meticulously.

The 2018 Nissan Leaf will go on sale in Japan on Oct. 2, 2017. It goes on sale in the U.S. in early 2018.


and will never go on sale in Nigeria

why then do we have the topic on nairaland

Hahaha!

These are some of the basic things one can't have as an option.

What kind of stewpid sensational journalism is this.

It is more difficult to capture and kill a vulture so I don't see the point.
Might just be a hoax

mexxmoney:
The mayor of Houston was an idiot for telling people not to evacuate

No he wasn't. Houston has over 2 million people and the metropolitan area over 6 million.

It would be a logistical nightmare to evacuate within days of the storm. You will have thousands caught up in traffic gridlock and invariably in the hurricane leading to more loss of lives.

nurey:
in reviews i read, statement of such were credited to it, they were comparing it with an Audi RS8 in that review, i will not call the nissan GTR a crappy car, a car with V6 3.7L engine able to do 0-62ms in 2.3secs, i respect it all the way

That is a minority view and not always as you stated but I get your point.

But the GTR outperforms the more expensive RS8 who would even call the GTR crappy in the that scenario

nurey:
I dont think that is the issue, even the Nissan GTR Nismo with all its almighty performance and lesser than $100,000 is always referred to as a crappy attempt at sports car, i think (my opinion oooo) is because of its Japanese.

Those who can afford such cars want the hype and status symbol not really the performance

The GTR was not referred to as a crappy attempt at sports car.
It was hailed as a very good unpretentious sports car that out performed expectations.
So much so that it was being compared to much pricier super cars.

greenhulk:
That is how it took them 12 yrs to design the new Acura NSX and still nobody is buying it. They prices that crap at $156,000 yet people would still prefer to buy Ferraris and lambos for $300k plus.

The Italian super cars have a pedigree that the Japanese cannot match for now.

sooperrescue:
Buy Chinese tyre. They are durable but like someone stated, check the date it was made and then ensure it is temperature A and the speed rating should be V or W or Y. There was this customer who wanted to buy good tyres for his Acura TL . I brought some Chinese tyres for him at 22k each. He frowned and said he needed good and well known brands. So I called for Bridgestone at 55k each and he was glad. He just bought the car and even brought Pennzoil from the Us for oil change. On his way to PH, at Ijebu ode, those potholes with sharp edge tore the sidewall of one tyre and he was not happy. He managed to get to Ph and was asking if I could send him the Chinese brand he rejected. I begged him to please buy it in Ph. Just buy the Chinese tyre. The Dunlop and Michelin tyres available are all are all temp b tyres. Go to any Dunlop tyre changing shops and you will find temp b tyres on their racks. I once had the e240 but the 1999 model, a 12 plugs v6, don't buy any dead tyre for that machine. 180kms is very easy to attain with good speed index tyres.

Did he use the recommended tyre/ rim size cause that is a major culprit. There is a tendency for the users of certain brands to piimp their rides into oblivion.

LeJeun3:


You didn't tell us the type of vehicle you want to use tires on.
apart from Haida I don't personally know the others. Haida has a poor rating in my opinion tho....

Did you check out brands like Atturo, Maxtrek, etc
Dunlop and Michelin are the lowest priced first grade tyres.....

Dunlop perhaps.
Michelin is certainly not low priced.

Indonesian tyres are somewhere in between he could opt for those e.g. forceum....

DrMuzungu:
My friend... it has always been like that with French or Turkish Airlines. I am not a Nigerian citizen (I travel with one of European passports). And yet, back in 2003 I had to sleep over at CDG because the mumu agent who was booking my ticket Nigeria-Europe-Nigeria did not realise that there is only like 10 minutes between my landing in Paris (on my way from my home country to Nigeria via Paris) and the departure of my flight to Nigeria which was not enough time to change flights. Only one nice lady at the airport (staff!) directed me to terminal B which was the only terminal open during the night, for people stranded like me, so I have spent the night there along with a bunch of Russians (which was fine, at least someone to talk to). It wasn't directly the fault of Air France. However, if not for the nice (French) lady who told me where to go I would keep wandering around till morning.

On another occasion, I came to France by car for some business... Try to order your meal if you don't speak French, hahahahaha. of course there are some nice people in France. But, unless you meet someone you personally know, most likely they will refuse to help unless you speak their language. I have never experienced that sort of attitude in Germany of Netherlands. Not ONCE!!!

And that is why I will use Air France only as the last solution. To me, it goes in this particular order (if I can afford the ticket, that is):

1. Lufthansa
2. Turkish Airlines
3. all other airlines going my way
10. Air France

And mark my words, whatever the reason is for this delayed/cancelled flight, they will not do a thing to help the stranded passengers. Germans, at least, would provide makeshift beds, some water and some basic food, for those who can't go out of the airport.

Oh, anyway, according to some EU regulations, if the flight originates from the EU, or has the final destination in the EU, it IS subjected to laws and regulations related to cancelled or delayed flights. I advice ALL passengers on that flight to file a class action lawsuit against Air France if they don't do anything about it.

I wonder where you visited in France but I must say that it is very unfair to expect every French person you come across to understand English. Britain and France are the main colonialists in Europe and their citizens are the ones least likely to learn other languages for obvious reasons.

There is already an existing railline from PH to Maiduguri.
Are they saying that they will upgrade the gauge or rehabilitate the nonfunctional parts of the line?
