Dug up some old CDs and decided to check them in the car player (2006 Sienna) only for it to throw up an error 3 code.

Now it can only load one CD which it doesn't play.

I suspect the changer is jammed.

Does anyone know how I can fix this please.

It's miserable driving the van without the CD player.

Everything is dwindling under Cassandra.

don't be deceived Ebonyi state is the largest rice producer in East. there are no rice paddy in anambra. the more you look the less you see.

No rice paddy in a state that has the river Niger coursing through it with many tributaries?

Besides you probably do not know that there are different species of rice.

Inasmuch as I don't like the idea of Obiano's picture on the bags of rice, it is obvious that there are two types of bags; one with his picture (distributed to pensioners and civil servants ) and another without his picture which is for commercial purposes.

Buhari is a monumental failure.

jordinsparkles:
But why was he stubborn? He would have stopped nau.....

The man is dead and we did not hear his own side of the story. How do we ascertain that he actually refused to stop.

We may never know what really happened.

A country ravaged by illiteracy.

You burnt " the evil to hell".

What evil?

A magnificent python in its natural habitat that just swallowed a prey and got trapped by your unfinished fence that was intruding in its habitat.

This is really impressive.
Anambra is powering ahead irrespective of the stagnation at the Federal level.

Andthey want to kill another animal again, same way they killed the lion. Waiting to hear from David king tomorrow morning

Sad indeed I really hope they don't put down the chimpanzee.

However, as for the lion they had little choice. You don't tranquilize dangerous wild animals that is in an area occupied by humans.
It is way too dangerous. The tranquilizer takes some time to kick in and during this period the animal tends to be erratic and often aggressive. That is when it is most dangerous.

Note that the gorilla in the US was put down. Recall the flooded zoo in Georgia the wild cats were all put down.

xreal:
That 'shot'.... hope it's not the lethal shooting?


The guards in the zoo ought to have tranquillizer gun/dart, instead of the Fire fighters oozing pressurized water at the Chimp. Nigeria, when will thou learn?

Tranquilizers are not risk free.

They should be used when access to the animal is almost guaranteed afterwards to help maintain its airway if not the animal could choke to death.

Intelligent key
Unperturbed.

This is so sad.

This beautiful animal is worth much more alive.

I know people who will pay big cash to have that dolphin.

What a waste.

MrPIE:
These People are hungry Men, a poacher would only go for the horns and in case of other animals like an elephant it would go for the tusks and leave every other part there, to die down evidence of poaching. Elephant tusks and rhino horn cost as high as $100,000. So Poaching is strictly business, these Men are hungry.

Going by what I see in the picture they are professional poachers.

Look at how well preserved the head of the antelope is.
That is the part that is worth the most as it is sold as a hunting trophy to collectors.

The other parts are just icing on the cake.

Professional poachers are very dangerous to reserves like this and can render millions of dollars worth of investment useless in a short period.

People pay thousands to go and view wildlife and we are killing off ours.
Yet some peeps are saying we should free them.

I hope they didn't just shake his hands and tell him goodbye.

How come I've never heard of recalls for this. Other countries seem to drive their Honda without similar problems.

Is it peculiar to Honda in our environment?

In view of the fact that the effect of section 308 of the
Constitution has been watered down, Governor Fayose
cannot invoke the immunity clause to shield himself
from investigation. Since the offences of fraud, treason
and criminal diversion of public funds were allegedly
committed in connection with the 2014 governorship
election in Ekiti state, Mr. Fayose who was a candidate
of the PDP at the material time, is liable to be
investigated.
Sometime in 2004, Governor Ayo Fayose was reported
by The News magazine to have stolen N1.2 billion
from the coffers of Ekiti State government. The brutal
killings in the state were also traced to a killer squad
funded by the governor. Embarrassed by the
publication, Mr. Fayose sued the magazine at the high
court holden at Ado Ekiti. Our law firm defended the
magazine and pleaded justification. At the trial of the
case, the allegations in the publication were proved
beyond any shadow of doubt. In dismissing the suit,
the trial judge said that Mr. Fayose had no reputation
worthy of protection by any court.
The allegation of the looting of the treasury of the state
was investigated by the EFCC which proceeded to
charge Mr. Fayose at the Federal High Court. The
Police also charged him with the murder of Tunde
Omojola at the Ekiti State high court. Both cases were
pending in court when he contested and ‘won’ the Ekiti
State governorship election. Shortly thereafter, a
young army officer, Captain Sagir Koli exposed the
involvement of some armed personnel led by General
Aliyu Momoh in the coup which led to the ‘re-election’
of Governor Fayose. All the criminal suspects initially
denied their involvement in the criminal enterprise. But
when confronted with the tape recording of the plot to
manipulate the election, Mr. Fayose admitted that he
took part in the coup.
Based on the expose by Captain Koli, the authorities of
the Nigerian Army set up a panel of enquiry to
investigate the role of the armed soldiers in the violent
subversion of the democratic process in Ekiti State.
The panel conducted the inquiry and identified the
military officers and soldiers who participated in the
coup which led to the pyrrhic victory of Mr. Ayo
Fayose. The report of the panel was submitted to the
Chief of Army Staff who promised to act on it by
implementing its recommendations.
The indicted military officers and armed soldiers have
since been flushed out of the Nigerian army. Some of
them were also referred to the EFCC for further
investigation over allegations of financial inducement
and corrupt practices. The findings of the army panel
have been corroborated by Mr. Fayose’s campaign
manager, Dr. T.K. Aluko who addressed several press
conferences wherein he gave graphic details of the
illegal deployment of armed troops and criminal
diversion of public funds for the governorship election
allegedly won by Mr. Fayose. In particular, he revealed
that the fund for the election was ferried to Ado Ekiti by
a former minister who is currently on self exile in the
United States.
While not challenging the allegation by the EFCC that
the sum of N1.3 billion has been traced to his personal
account, Mr. Fayose has attempted to hide under the
immunity clause to shield himself from investigation.
Contrary to the governor’s claim, he does not enjoy
immunity from investigation with respect to his
criminal involvement in treasonable conduct and
corrupt practices. It is trite law that all the public
officers protected by Section 308 of the Constitution
can be investigated for corruption and other criminal
offences. In Chief Gani Fawehinmi vs. Inspector
General of Police (2002) 23 WRN 1 the Supreme Court
held:
“That a person protected under section 308 of the 1999
Constitution, going by its provisions, can be
investigated by the police for an alleged crime or
offence is, in my view, beyond dispute. To hold
otherwise is to create a monstrous situation whose
manifestation may not be fully appreciated until
illustrated… The evidence may be useful for
impeachment purposes if the House of Assembly may
have need of it. It may no doubt be used for
prosecution of the said incumbent Governor after he
has left office. But to do nothing under the pretext that
a Governor cannot be investigated is a disservice to
the society.”
The senior lawyers who have questioned the freezing
of Mr. Fayose’s account on the ground that the EFCC
did not obtain a court order have not read section 28
of the EFCC Act which provides that “where a person is
arrested for an offence under this Act, the Commission
shall immediately trace and attach all the assets and
properties of the person acquired as a result of such
economic or financial crime and shall thereafter cause
to be obtained an interim attachment order from the
Court”.
To ensure that the investigation of the public officers
covered by the immunity clause is not compromised by
the executive, the Chief Justice of Nigeria is
empowered by section 52 of the ICPC Act to appoint an
Independent Counsel (who shall be a legal practitioner
of not less than 15 years standing) to investigate any
allegation of corruption against the president, vice
president, governor or deputy governor. The ICPC is
enjoined to fully cooperate with such independent
counsel and provide all facilities necessary for such
independent counsel to carry out his functions. At the
end of the investigation, the Independent Counsel is
required to make a report of the findings to the
National Assembly in the case of the president or vice
president and to the relevant House of Assembly of a
State in the case of the governor or deputy governor.
Since there is no immunity for impunity as far as
electoral malfeasance is concerned, the investigation
by the EFCC is in order. The senior lawyers who have
questioned the freezing of Mr. Fayose’s account on the
ground that the EFCC did not obtain a court order have
not read section 28 of the EFCC Act which provides
that “where a person is arrested for an offence under
this Act, the Commission shall immediately trace and
attach all the assets and properties of the person
acquired as a result of such economic or financial
crime and shall thereafter cause to be obtained an
interim attachment order from the Court”. The law
permits the EFCC to freeze an account or attach a
property of a criminal suspect and proceed thereafter
to obtain an ex parte order from the appropriate court.
I am not unaware that by the strict interpretation of
section 308 of the Constitution, no court process can
be issued or served on a governor. But because
immunity cannot be pleaded or invoked to cover
electoral fraud, elected governors are served with court
processes and dragged to court to respond to
allegations of electoral malpractice. However, in order
to give effect and validity to the equality of the rights of
all contestants in a presidential or governorship
elections, it has been held by the Supreme Court that
the immunity clause cannot be invoked in election
petitions. Otherwise, public officers covered by the
immunity clause may take advantage of their positions
to rig elections and thereby sabotage the democratic
process. The rationale for suspending the operation of
the immunity clause during the hearing of election
petition was explained by the late Justice Kayode Eso
in Obih Vs. Mbakwe (1984) All NLR 134 at 148 when
he said:
“With respect, to extend the immunity to cover the
governors from being legally challenged when seeking
a second term will spell injustice. I am conscious of
the fact that in my interpretation of section 267 of the
Constitution, I am giving that provision a narrow
interpretation. This is deliberate for, in my view, in the
interpretation of the Constitution, care should be taken
not to diminish from the justice of the matter, this is
not a case of a judge engaging in legislative process.”
Similarly, in Turaki v. Dalhaltu (2003) 38 WRN 54 at
168 the Court of Appeal (per Oguntade JCA (as he then
was) had this to say:
“There is no doubt that a Governor by the force of
section 308 of the 1999 Constitution is immuned from
civil and criminal proceedings for his personal acts but
in proceedings in an election petition or seeking to
enforce rights appertaining to or arising from national
elections, no Governor in my view enjoys or can claim
immunity. In an election matter, as in this case, the
right of the Governor to remain such Governor is in
issue. If a Governor were to be considered immuned
from court proceedings, that would create the position
where a sitting Governor would be able to flout
election laws and regulations to the detriment of other
person contesting with him. This will make a
nonsense of the election process and be against the
spirit of our national Constitution which in its tenor
provides for a free and fair election.”
…if he is indicted, Mr. Fayose ought to be prosecuted
by the EFCC since the immunity of a governor is put in
abeyance when the legitimacy of his election is in
dispute.
In the case of the Alliance for Democracy v. Peter
Ayodele Fayose (No 1) (2004) 26 WRN 34, the
Respondent had challenged the issuance of a
subpoena on him on the ground that Section 308 has
conferred immunity on him as a governor. While
dismissing the objection the Court of Appeal (per Muri
Okunola JCA) held:
“…The provisions of section 308 of the 1999
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are not
applicable to confer immunity on a State Governor in
an election petition involving his election to preclude
the issuance of subpoena on him. Or put in another
way: the immunity provided by the provisions of
section 308 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria 1999 on a State Governor is put in abeyance
when his election is being disputed before an Election
Tribunal as to make him amenable to being compelled
by a subpoena to tender document(s) or give evidence
before the Election Tribunal.”
In view of the fact that the effect of section 308 of the
Constitution has been watered down, Governor Fayose
cannot invoke the immunity clause to shield himself
from investigation. Since the offences of fraud, treason
and criminal diversion of public funds were allegedly
committed in connection with the 2014 governorship
election in Ekiti state, Mr. Fayose who was a candidate
of the PDP at the material time, is liable to be
investigated. And if he is indicted, Mr. Fayose ought to
be prosecuted by the EFCC since the immunity of a
governor is put in abeyance when the legitimacy of his
election is in dispute.
Finally, in his desperate bid to divert public attention
from the ongoing investigation of the criminal
diversion of public funds, Mr. Fayose has attempted to
link me with his indictment by the Nigerian Army and
the EFCC. Notwithstanding that the allegation is
completely baseless, I fully support the investigations.
I do not need to instigate the anti-graft agencies to
enquire into the activities of a serial treasury looter.
Having admitted his involvement in the coup which
occurred in Ekiti State which culminated in his
emergence as governor, Mr. Fayose ought to be
Prosecuted.

If any of the thrash up there holds water then Buhari should be in jail for fraudulently ascending to power with a fake certificate.

EFCC has lost its credibility.
It is now Buhari's hounding dog.

This is very wrong.
Very very wrong.
Meanwhile no warning for the graphic images. Way to go nairaland.

APC is full of deceit.

Why commission an uncompleted project?

450square km
That is more than 13% of Lagos state.

Please tell me another story cause this is complete hogwash.

Two options :
he is a front or the figures are all mixed up.

fulanimafia:
Nope, its your comparison that is lame, the analogy remains robust.

In the case of Scotland, it was already a country of its own (with Edinburgh as its capital) but is within the United Kingdom. There are four countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) which together make up the sovereign state of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The South East is not a country of its own, but a region within Nigeria, which is why the entire country must vote for the referendum.

If a country is to be disintegrated via a referendum, the majority of that country's voting population must vote in favour. QED.

lol!
Stop going round in circles.

An independence referendum is decided by the members of the region that wish to break away be it a country or not.

The simple reason the rest of the UK did NOT vote.
Even though the issue affects them directly. The Welsh cannot decide for the Scots if they wish to be in the UK.

Same for Catalonia in Spain. They are not a country yet it is only Catalonians that can vote in a referendum to decide if they wish to remain in Spain or not.

Stop trying to outsmart yourself.

fulanimafia:
Are you confused? Yet you want to compare the Nigerian situation to the Scottish referendum (which was following an agreement between the Scottish and the United Kingdom governments (Biafra and ND remain dream republics)) and the EU referendum which was carried out as a result of the MAJORITY of Brits demanding for it? There is no such thing as a Biafran because it never existed as a country.

So Nigerians don't matter on issues of their country's break up ? You guys are never serious and that's why your dream republic continues to evade you.

Did the rest of the UK vote in the Scottish referendum?

Or was it only the Scots that voted?
Or does the rest of the UK not matter in their country's breakup?

Do you see how lame your analogy is?

The majority you keep emphasizing is NOT majority of Nigerians but rather the majority of the people in the region seeking to break away.

My brother, I had the same thing some months back. I thought people from my village have finally caught up with me. I went to four private hospitals and did several test, took several drugs and ingestions, still no solution. I went to the Lagos State University College of Medicine in Ikeja, the mumu doctors there instructed that I do several tests, they gave me several drugs and ingestions, still no solution. The doctors even almost added high B.P. to the thing because I did HIV test 6 times as prescribed by different doctors and because my ways are not clean, I begin to dey fear fear. But all the HIV tests that I did came out Negative.

I had to take several local concoctions, I took agunmu Baba Osogbo, agunmu Iya Ibadan, agunmu brother Ilorin. I also took several anti-bacterial and anti-fungi creams and drugs. The rashes have cleared on my body, but not fully. I am still taking the concoctions and the drugs.

I think it is a new disease in town because I have seen some other people with it. Because, the disease is not yet killing people government will not do anything about it. When it infest a government official's child or kills the only child of a looting politician, government will look into it then.

I have attached two pictures of my skin that are not too irritating, others are really really irritating for the sake of the "Pictures or it did not happen "crew.

Please I beg you.

Discontinue any native concoction you are taking or indeed any medication not prescribed by a doctor.

You are putting your kidneys in grave danger.

I love birds esp birds of prey.

Recall when I was young and an owl got caught in a thicket at school. Our teacher called us out to see it.

We all admired the beautiful creature after which the teacher set it free and it flew away.

With the way we kill these very useful creatures like owls and pythons, their prey mainly rodents are now running amock spreading diseases like Lassa fever etc.

You guys are busy decimating your habitat.

Failed country.

Picturing anyone on a toilet seat is NEVER fab.
A colossal failure for me.

Beautiful children.

The guy looks Bokoish.

Why do children of northern elites never cover themselves from head to toe, but cover just enough to look decent.
