Scan and your car and post codes. I'm looking at a transmission issue (highly debatable tho).

Thank you for your response, I'm not in a place I can get to scan it right now. A mechanic I just called told me it is the fuel filter, is this a possibility?

Gooday people, I need some help with my Honda 04 EOD, I drove from PH to Lagos a few days back and while coming I discovered that my car started slowing down once I want to climb a slope, it got worse as it could not even climb again at a point I have to turn it off for like 10 minutes before it would pick again, it is usually better when I'm driving on a level ground, even though it might not run more than 50kmph but once I attempt to climb a slope, it would almost stall, until I off and on it after like 10 minutes, what's causing this please? Experts in the house kindly assist

you'll also need to learn car routes as you can't just cross the express and jump bikes as usual.

you'll also learn painfully that those streets you used to trek using shortcuts, coming out from the back of another house and showing up at your destination is not as near as they used to be when driving your car, you would have to drive till you can get a proper place to make a u-turn and you might even be stuck in traffic on the way to make the u turn and you'd be stuck in your car in traffic after 30 mins wondering "wasn't this car supposed to make me get where I'm going faster?"

I would go for the option of staying in your current place of work for the reasons below.
1) The remuneration difference is not appreciable enough to take this risk.
2) The fact that the new job is with a government parastatal and on contract is a red flag. The job could wind down even before the 2 years based on change in govt policy or govt.
3) Relocating your family after just one month of staying in your new job and altering their own schedule is gonna really be something.

You didn't tell about the exit policy in your current place that would make us make a better informed decision, all in all its still your decision to make. Goodluck.

I see you write smartly, so I believe you're a smart girl that knows what this is.

I got three letters for you, R. U. N

Really? seriously? We are arguing over who looks better in pictures now? crap!

Congrats man.

As a young man who got a similar job offer about one and a half years ago I have some advice for you, it might do you some good to take it.

1.5 million per annum na small money, but I can understand your excitement, I was at the time too, being a young grad just coming from 19,500 NYSC allawi, the money bin dey shaq me like say na me hammer pass but you might soon discover it's really not big.

*be careful not to quickly adjust your life style to suit your new income, slowly but surely.

*be careful about broadcasting your new job on Facebook, all those your bros and babes dem wen no dey greet you since go begin dey buzz you as soon as you do, dey task and over task you self.

*the Job is a stepping stone to something better not an end in itself, acquire experience that will make you comfortably negotiate in your next job.

*save, save, save!!! it's actually not a bad thing to be stingy once in a while, remember, you can't save the whole world.

*Run, no flee from karishikas, awon maje kiomoko ere oko dele

This is criminal, after all the evidence that this people were intentionally feeding people garbage to make profits at the expense of the Health of the populace, nafdac all of sudden makes a 180° and does the exact opposite of what it said it wouldn't.

choi! see maneuvers
Before we get ourselves worked up over nothing, where and when did pmb promise to do only one term??
Politicians are treacherous, workers haven't been paid, they aren't talking about that, it's 2019 they're scheming for.

okay this nonsense should just stop, trekking or riding bicycle or whatever frigging idea any other smart-by-half fellow comes up with should just stop before we start recording casualties from this self - inflicted stupidity. enough said already!

Someone shared this on my wall, This shows us the relationship between weak leadership and the fuel scarcity situation we are in today

Onyebuchi Ememanka.
NIGERIA'S FUEL CRISIS - WHY I BLAME GEJ
In discussing this very volatile issue, let me make one point very
clear. I speak from a very informed perspective. This is not just
one of those social commentaries.
I worked in the downstream petroleum sector for about 36 months
as legal counsel and this was at the peak of the subsidy crisis. I
handled and prepared critical documents, advised on transactions
and participated in the subsidy scheme as a staff of the one of
biggest indigenous players in the sector. I have a perfect
understanding of the system from the point where these products
are negotiated and bought from refineries abroad to the contract
for their shipping....from arrival at the Port in Nigeria to the
inspections and the final destination at designated tank farms, so
I speak with authority. When the subsidy probe started, I also
made several submissions to the National Assembly Committees and
also was at the EFCC during the investigations.
Weak and reactive leadership is a disaster to any organization that
has it. The hallmark of great leadership is the ability to identify
risks and institute effective risk management systems. No
organization in this world can survive uncontrolled hemorrhage of
scarce resources.
The subsidy scheme became an issue under President Obansanjo. It
was under him that the concept of petroleum importation became
full blown. For reasons best known to the wily Owu Chief, our four
refineries were left to rot while our country relied on fuel
importation. That policy remained the biggest disservice former
President Obasanjo did to this country.
However, as bad as that policy was under OBJ, there was still some
level of sanity and control. At no time under OBJ did subsidy
payments exceed 190 billion Naira annually. There were stringent
measures that controlled the participation of companies under the
subsidy scheme.
Just before OBJ left office, he sold two of our refineries to
Dangote and Otedola, a measure that would have worked if fully
implemented. It is beyond doubt that the private sector remains
the best economic and commercial managers. Government is a
cesspool of waste and corruption.
When late President Yar'adua took over, he rode on a staccato of
uninformed voices to reverse the sale of the refineries. He
reversed the sale but did nothing to bring the refineries back to
work. He continued to run the subsidy scheme and kept the restive
sanity in the system. As at the time Yar'adua died, Nigeria's
subsidy burden was about 230 billion Naira per annum.
Now for the uninformed, the petroleum subsidy scheme is a system
where the federal government, on a bid to reduce the cost of fuel
paid by Nigerians chooses to pay the difference between the
landing cost of petrol imports, the prevailing price of the
commodity at the international market and what is actually sold in
Nigeria.
For instance, if the landing cost of petrol in Nigeria is, say, N
115, and after adding lightering charges and other logistics costs,
the price of petrol should be N147, the federal government asks
the marketers to sell at N97 and decides to pay the marketers the
difference per litre.
Now enter President Goodluck Ebelechukwu Azikiwe Mainasara
Jehoshaphat Effiong Jonathan!
Under him, subsidy costs jumped from 200 billion Naira to over 1.2
trillion in the first two years of his government.
Why? What happened?
Did the population of Nigerian triple within that period or did the
number of cars quadruple? Was there an industrial revolution?
The answer is simple. Again, I speak from an informed position.
Due to weak regulatory regimes, the downstream sector became an
all comers affair. Every Tom, Dick and Harry entered the business.
Companies with no verifiable addresses, no tank farms, no vessels,
no financial structures, no bank guarantees all became fuel
importers. It was a bazaar. It is only in Nigeria that such bizzare
things can happen. Emergency millionaires were made in days. Time
and space won't allow me to give you details of the unbelievable
things that happened. Every top official of the federal government
became an emergency fuel importer or middle man. Importation
licenses were hawked openly. All you needed was for the PPPRA to
give you a license to import. You could sell it for millions just
outside the door.
Now there is a complex web that links the Petroleum Ministry, the
DPR, thE Navy, the NPA, NIMASA,PPPRA, DMO, CBN and Commercial
Banks in this fraud. Documents like the sovereign debt statements
and the sovereign debt notes flew about and our money kept
disappearing. From about 30 companies in the scheme, the number
shot up to 300. Monthly, billions of Naira were paid out to people
who have never had any contact with a Jerry can of fuel in their
lives. No verification, no authentication, nothing. Money was being
paid with reckless abandon. Dr Okonjo Iweala and Mrs Alison
Madueke were all there watching!
It got so bad that some people will arrange with ship
owners......take a two day hire of an empty ship, move it to Lagos
Port, berth it there. Officials of the PPPRA, Petroleum Ministry,
DPR will come there to inspect an empty vessel and certify that
the empty vessel carried 10,000 metric tons of petrol, collect
their money and walk away. The vessel simply sails away and three
weeks later, close to 6 billion Naira will be paid as subsidy when not
even a single drop of petrol was brought in.
It was when the government saw that it could no longer sustain
that level of waste that GEJ made that attempt at removing
subsidy which was stoutly and rightly rejected by Nigerians.
If you recall, the call for the probe of the Subsidy fraud didn't
even come from the Presidency. GEJ never called for any probe.
Neither did Alison Madueke nor Okonjo Iweala. The call for probe
was triggered off by the submissions of Senator Bukola Saraki on
the floor of the Senate when he took time to tell the sad story of
the biggest fraud in modern Nigeria called FUEL SUBSIDY.
Nigerians should ask GEJ to tell us how our subsidy burden jumped
from 200 billion to 1.4 trillion in two years.
Between 2008 and 2013, the PPPRA was about the most corrupt
government office in Nigeria. People who worked there lived like
Emperors. They spent dollars like there was no tomorrow. Only the
privileged found their way there. Each time I went to their office
in Abuja then, I left with a heavy heart. This country is in serious
trouble.
The only time sanity came to that sector was when GEJ brought
Reginald Stanley, former Group General Manager of PPMC who also
headed the London Branch of the NNPC into the picture. Reginald
Stanley cleaned up the PPPRA, redeployed close to 80% of the
workers and rejigged the subsidy program. It was then discovered
that more than 60% of the funds paid as subsidy in the last three
years were paid wrongly and fraudulently.
That was when the subsidy probe started. Out of the over 300
companies that were collecting subsidy, it was found that not
up,to 30 were really importing fuel. Close to 700 billion Naira were
stolen in the subsidy scheme. Till date, not a single person has been
convicted.
Again, throughout the five years that GEJ ran this country, not
one single attempt was made to even find out what is the problem
with our refineries.
And yet, people say I shouldn't blame GEJ!
Who should I blame?
My father.....in his grave?

I love this! The APC governors signed up for change, this is the beginning! since no one appoints commissioners for them, they should take a chill pill and allow the president choose those whO can run his vision, the president understands that the success and failure of the administration will eventually land on his head not the governors (jonathan, 2015) so the governors should go back to their state.

This is how to be a president, look your party people in the eyeballs at times and break their hearts in the interest of common good, and we're not bailing out any state too, pay your workers!!!

Buhari, be careful about all this visitors here and there, do what is right for the masses, remember they visited your predecessors too.

OP Why?

Is that picture of Isaac boro park from 2028?? I live near that place and the picture you have up there is nothing near what the park looks like.

Stop misleading tourists!

It's gives me sweet feeling to know that the same corruption in the manner of siphoning funds for projects to private pockets he didn't curb as president crippled his presidential ambition.

karma really does travel in a concorde.

I guess the president now understands that stealing is actually corruption.

C ' Mon Guys, No one??

I've assured my stomach that it won't get food until my brain can get the answer to this. who wants to help?

Just reading through the comments and observing the double we preach subtly.

Firstly, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this picture, so because she be 2face wife make she no breathe again? she took a harmless picture and people who I'm sure she could care less about are wagging tongues like dogs on heat.

Secondly, I see some other people talking about how 'they can't believe 2face married this 'ugly' chick' haba! wetin concern you? This same 'ugly' woman has been with him right from when things never pure, and you want him to drop her for some 'fine' chick. and I'm sure you're the same set of people that will call him all sorts of name if he does that, little wonders celebrity marriages rarely last as they are more interested in marrying 'fine' as defined by public opinions

Honestly, people need to quit this stereotype of others and stop being vain and empty, you cannot take glory for your beauty, you didn't work for it, but your values, manners, how you treat others; those things are the real you, you could have an accident tomorrow and lose all your flyness. Think people!

I usually do not fancy all these talk about celebs and whatnot, I just couldn't resist some people's vanity today.

material988:
Please what are the criteria for honoring
those ex-corpers? I need to know, because all I see in this pictures are not making sence. is it the skills acquisition or what? did they do any tangible, unforgettable, costly etc project during their cds?
anybody with good answer please.

The corps members during their service year embarked on personal CDs, which may or may not be costly but thoughtful and impactful on their host communities.

My colleague who got awarded yesterday did a total oveehaul of his ppa's students Block, the dilapidated science laboratories among other laudable projects.

During my year, by God's grace I initiated plans for a community incinerator among other projects, as the community where I served suffered a prevalence of flooding due to improper waste disposal mostly blocking the drainages. My projects got me nominated.

The award is basically a reward for corps members who went out of their way to make an impact.

This is my issue with religious folks, emphasis on the word religious.

You deny a man a job because his beliefs does not align with yours?? where on earth did you get your Christianity from?

Tithing is a personal issue as is salvation; between you and your God. Forced tithing cannot bless the tither.

I'm sure this private company would not think twice to do business with politicians with massive Ill gotten wealth, or Dangote, a Muslim who doesn't tithe, I'm sure they'll even count it as God's blessings. This philosophy can only be balanced if they refuse to do business with people who do not tithe completely, any thing short of this is hypocrisy.

Oh Nostalgia!

There is no time I hear NYSC that my mind is not taken back to the sweet memories of my serving experience.

My advice to prospective corp members has always been, 'Don't try to outsmart yourself, if you're posted to a nice place, enjoy it, if not, make it enjoyable' I remember telling most of my close friends not to runs their postings.

I was posted to a rural-but-not-so-rural community in rivers state then, I had hardly settled before l was informed that I was a 'Total' corper, Nice-but-not-nice-accomodation, the whole experience was an adventure. it was so sweet in fact that my colleagues who had influenced their postings to the capital city wanted to trade places.

Finally, NYSC was meant for you to come and serve your country, serve!!! Do your duties dutifully, Make an impact where you have been taken to, host community and ppa. Only God can reward you for that service, no money or cozy package can, I always told my co-corpers then, but them think say Na oversabi dey worry me. and did God reward me? Be the judge. I got a job, out of no particular connection of mine a month after pop with a multinational firm In the heart of the city. and yes, the package I was offered is as good as you think.

#Oluwanishola

Excellent OP. Excellent.
Just to add quickly that procrastination is a very fast killer of great ideas. on this, I know quite a lot of people including yours truly who are guilty as charged

For many our there like me, remember.

'Yesterday, you said Tommorow'

'Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it flows the issues of life'

This was his signature quote, he touched lives, fixed homes, nurtured young feeble minds to emotional maturity.

He was the pastor, the shrink, the bastion of godly living, all in one.

The wisdom with which he dissected life's issues, as though he were in the laboratory of life was remarkably solomic, carefully isolating cause and effect of of our everyday trials and triumphs, and he did it so humbly and penetratingly. I think it is for his sake that I have, albeit unintentionally, become a shrink unto myself, always checking and rechecking my intentions.

I remember during my days in Lagos, even though i wasn't the biggest fan of radio, 7-8 pm daily was sacred, glued to Inspiration FM, a time to listen and learn from the experience and sagacity of men who have travelled the curves and edges.

Until about a few hours ago when I saw his picture, I never really knew how he looked like, but I could recognize his distinctive voice among tens of other voices, hearing him alone was enough rivet the message. he was a voice, to the many voiceless, and the message he came bearing was loud and clear.

I'm still in shock to hear that Chaz B is no more.

I can only pray that God will comfort and grant your family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Rest on beloved, We love you, God loves you most.

He never said anything about the president in his post you quoted above.
