arsenal33:
silly question.

MrMystrO:
This is silly

I don't think so, if there is ever crisis in River Bayelsa or delta, Oil output suffers and this is what feeds Nigeria .But truth be told, Delta ,Bayelsa and Rivers hate anything APC. should not be so but it is what it is. if U know U know.

The All Progressive Congress in Edo State has said that the failure of Ayodele Fayose in last Saturday’s governorship election in Ekiti State was a signal to Governor Nyesom Wike and other PDP governors in the South South region.



It said it would take the lead in next year’s general elections for all the South South states come under the APC.

State Secretary of the APC, Mr. Lawrence Okah, who stated this in a chat with newsmen urged Nigerians to stop believing what he termed rumors and lies the PDP posted on the social media during the conduct of Ekiti governorship polls.



Okah stated that the victory of the APC in Ekiti was a signal that the party is ready to win other states in the South South region.

According to him, “The APC is the party to beat in any election. We went to Ekiti to defect an incumbent. With Ekiti victory, we have taken over the South West. Our next journey is the South South.

“All those things you hear from the social media will not stop the APC to ensuring that the right thing is done.

“Only a mental person could do what Fayose has done to announce election results. Any sane pêrson knows that only INEC has the powers to announce election result. The FG should send Fayose to a psychiatrist.”

Chief of Staff to Governor Godwin Obaseki, Mr. Taiwo Akerele, said the people of Ekiti have demonstrated that they were deceived by Fayose’s stomach infrastructure.

“You recall that four years ago, this same man was cheated by the ruling PDP out of power and he didn’t complain, he accepted and he moved on but today, the people of Ekiti state have realised that they were cheated and deceived by stomach infrastructure and they have come back and re-elected the man because they have confidence in him.”

Obasanjo and his fellow PDP hawks killed and buried our National Pride, the Nigerian Airways and sold it to their homosexual friend Jimoh Ibrahim (FFK told us he is homosexual). Now, Baba is rebuilding a new National Carrier, shame to PDP and their gang of thieves.

Name one National carrier in Europe owned by its government.

arsenal33:
That is being done, and it takes time to complete, so be patient.
We need a national carrier, period.

What is the National carrier going to add to our values?

sheffyUTD:
Oops, this will only increases the pressure on the naira. Your proposal is assuming vehicles exporters / importers are based in countries of origin. In reality, majority if not all are based in Nigeria. It will mean sourcing for more FX to buy, ship and duty payment.

Some people are doing that in the Uk as we speak

mrcoolautofix:
Not really, vw golf 4 is just beautiful but that durability is not there famous problem of vw make 4 is electrical issues,

Many Nigerian mechanics call it nightmare, but I have not by accident or change take a critical step on meeting any m4 with that nightmares to really know which parts it's coming from, misfiring, crank no start, ckp sensor, cams sensor, MAF sensor, ECU or Fuse box as in similar case with vw make three

Mk 5 is rocking great no electrical issues it's durable as compared to black lady but vw 3 and vw 2 n 1 are roughed as durable as black man

All the faults you pointed out up there, name one car that does not have same parts that could go faulty, the vast majority of electrical problems we get in cars in Nigeria are caused by mechanics when they are trying to
fix a small fault, Your electrical system has little or no movable part so less friction .Panels and ECU get damaged due to surge usually caused by using wrong wire gauge to patch a cut they did by bypassing existing wiring. Kazims or rewire keep adding new contact points.

arsenal33:
ethopian airlines
Kenyan airways
rwandair
south African airways
egyptair

ETC.....

go back to sleep...

bro an Airline has no value to add to Nigeria at the moment, what we really need is for that investment money to be sinked into building new power station to boost our economy

Gwagon cost more.... ,they are not the same price. The most expensive RR autobiography cost less than $200k while the cheapest Gwagon will still go for around $150k. There's even a Gwagon that cost $500k but you can never see any Range Rover above $200k.

Speak of what you know bro

HeavenlyBang:
The first explains itself. Anyone can work on a Corolla. An Audi, not so much. There's also more stuff likely to break on the Audi than on the Corolla. I like to think both statements aren't debatable.

For mpg. Audi A4 2.0 2006 does 23mpg combined. The Corolla does 31mpg combined.

Don't get me wrong, the A4 is way more car than the Corolla. But the Corolla is by far better than the A4 for the OP's Uber needs.

CC: bjchem44
Take a look at a 2005 Honda Civic. Better than the Corolla imo.

can I ask you a question plz, where did you get the mpg of the corolla??
what stuff does the Audi have that the corolla do not have?
cos all cars have same thing just one is stronger than the other,everything in teh Audi is stronger than anything in teh corolla

Olalan:
Nice gesture from the man to his wife..........
BTW we need to stop seeing materialism( gifts, trips, cash) as the ultimate to pleasing a woman or wife....

That's Poverty speaking, I speak Enrichment into your life this weekend do I hear an Amen

HeavenlyBang:
Except when the OP need a low maintenance vehicle with excellent gas mileage.

define low maintenance and xcelent gas mileage relative to both cars.

bjchem44:
Hello my fellow Nairalanders, your contribution is urgently needed Pls... I need advice on which to choose between Audi A4 2.0 ,2006 model and Corrola.
NB: The purpose is for uber Pls.... I don't know much about cars but I wanted to go for Corrola cos of its popularity as regards it's parts and low fuel consumption ,though I learnt the Audi also has low fuel consumption... Just need some analysis BTW the two considering the purpose to which it will be used for.. thanks.

Lalasticlala, mynd44

it is insane to mention Toyota and Audi in one sentence, infact its a criminal offence

intruxive:

this post is created by pdp online to feed you with fake results and cause confusion

Pls ignore whatever op says it is purely fabricated, thank you

what did he say

I don't like to say this but the truth is that majority of that 400 are Yoruba and edo peeps

Letenwam:
Governor Ambode of Lagos State arrived Russia last night for the World Cup finals between France and Croatia, and one of highlights of his arrival was that he pledged to help send Nigerians stuck in the country home.


Recall that we reported that a Russian NGO alleged that approximately 200 Nigerians are stranded in Moscow and 400 all over Russia. They came during the World Cup games in hopes to find jobs to Moscow, but got disappointed.

Instagram user @iampndgreat who disclosed the promise made by Governor Ambode in his post, wrote;

Not a Political Campaign but just appreciating a good and kind gesture by one of our noble Politicians in Nigeria.

The story goes thus:
I had a pick up arrangement today at the airport in Moscow and had a rare privilege of meeting his excellency, the governor of Lagos State; the most populous and commercial Hub of Nigeria. I quickly introduced myself while I waited for my pick up arrangement to come out. We had a small chat and exchanged knowledge and wisdom while I waited.
He bade me farewell as his pick up arrangement had arrived.
After a few minutes, my pick up arrived as well so we set out to the car park.
As soon as we came out of the airport, I saw a crowd of over 50 Nigerians who had been stranded at the airport for almost 10-15 days now. And in their middle was this same man, His excellency , Governor Ambode. As soon as he sighted me, he quickly called my attention to assist.

It was a pathetic state and a lot of words both pleasant and unpleasant were being exchanged. (Not apportioning blames on anyone )
Then his Excellency did something that amazed me. He showed solidarity and quickly pledged to send all 50 Stranded Nigerians home and assigned me to oversea the transfers and procurement of new tickets to send them home.
As I type this, 19 out of this 50 are already on air to Lagos Nigeria, the remaining 31 are leaving this evening.

His excellency also fed them all as he gave them cash to eat while they waited for their tickets to fly home.
I am only writing this to express my gratitude to a man that has shown that not all politicians are the same.
I am well aware that NFF Officials and some other Senior Government or well to do Nigerians are aware of the situation on ground but are yet to be of help.
Kindly help as much as you can.
Nigeria will only be built or destroyed by Nigerians.
The integrity of our Nation is at stake.
Follow this same example; If you have the well withal.
DISCLAIMER : THIS IS NOT A CAMPAIGN BUT A SIMPLE SHOW OF LIGHT IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS.
Akinwunmi Ambode

They came to Russia to look for jobs, how? with no work permit? I begiiiiiii

zinizta:
times has changed ... that was what i was trying to explain to tensazangetsu20

he wants us to revert to those days ... pre colonial era...when they were killing twins etc.... black man and backwardness...whites are futuristic,always looking forward thinking about traveling to Mars but blacks are always backward looking they swear for black man

He can revert to those days by himself lol, there are countries still living like that Niger and Tchad are good examples.

zinizta:
At its height, Benin dominated trade along the entire coastline from the Western Niger Delta,through Lagos to modern-day Ghana. [5] It was for this reason that this coastline was named the Bight ofBenin .The present-day Republic ofBenin, formerly Dahomey,decidedto choosethe nameof this bight as the name of its country. Benin ruled over the tribes of the Niger Delta including the Western Igbo,Ijaw,Itshekiri, and Urhobo amongst others. It also held sway over the Eastern Yoruba tribes of Ondo, Ekiti, Mahin/Ugbo, and Ijebu. [6] It also established the first colony of Lagos hundreds of years before the British took

How does this help modern day Benin cit, ikpoba hill, ring road and satana markets? or Ogiao

Lexusgs430:
Yes o..... This APC & PDP issues, if den dey fight for the people, e for beta pass.....

phase1:
And Amaechi the minister of transport is from that state. He is only interested in fighting wike and grabbing billions and sponsoring cultists. If Amaechi leaves office without fixing that airport he shoould be banished from his village. He is a Judas.

That guy is an idiooot, the formal minister built the departure which is Okish, why cant He built the arrival

inoki247:
oga use am like dat what will Edo people dat Fly without Airport do kill dem sef...

ME SEF TIRE

AutoTechNG:
I once had a conversation with some whites, I discussed the reluctance of technicians to use factory repair manuals, and they said, a technician that refuses to use one is one who doesn't know how to use one!

A plane once crashed because they called a technician to fix a problem in the cockpit, he fixed the problem, it appears to him, he fixed the problem, but he did not follow factory specifications, and the plane crashed, a post-mortem of the incident revealed this.

Using a manual is not proof that the techy is daft...it is proof that he knows his limitations and wants to be the right thing as a matter of professional honor

GBAM, that's it.
If we go to the vids of Car plants, one can see the robot torqueing the engines and other bits, they all have settings and these are inclusive in the manuals which are free to get on line. Anyway, Nigerians are learning. If one owns a car and do not know what kind of fluids you need, then you are in deep pooo.
PS, that Automotive centre you talked about in Lagos, I mean the one you called computerized lol do they do tyre tracking and do they have laser car alignment?

oyb:
Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately there is no one with a porsche for you to test this hypothesis on. Or would you trust your vehicle to an earnest neophyte who has read the manual?

I think you are missing the point, if you go to a garage, you leave your car with them, they go straight to the manuals, this is the reason they can repair any car. The repair manual is very important as it contains various MUST ie torque settings. Angles and gradients., gives you expectant voltage from each wires and components you are meant to check work with a company where we service any machine with hydraulics, for each new crane or heavy lifter I go, I have to take at least 30 mins read the manual so I know what to expect when I do my test.Plus it gives you a methodical sense of approach to deal with certain situation, the others is fuke.

tensazangetsu20:
It's the same neophytes who work at the dealerships too. They ask you to sit down and wait while they print the manuals and tinker with it . These are cars men and not rockets or ships or airplanes . When I start driving exotic cars, I would do my repairs myself. I would rather invest the money to pay for repairs at the dealerships on manual subscriptions and getting the required tools. How many mechanics at those big name dealerships in Nigeria can even read wiring diagrams see? How many mechanics here use a torque wrench? I rather fix my car myself . [b]They fit even pour 20w50 [/b]inside then fix filter upside down and knock down the engine all in the name of "dealership"

@ the bolded,I have seen this done with my two eyes, this guy in a Texaco service station doing Oil change for different kinds and brands, pouring oil from one drum, thank God I went with my own OIL.Is that not recipe for disaster for those Engines. Plus there was a queue of people waiting to be served.

AutoTechNG:
Some of us not only read manuals....we also undergo manufacturer education...the dealerships in Nigeria don't even necessarily employ on the shop floor guys with certificates to back up their automotive repair skills...they go for cheap labor...it is the foreman who has the certificates, the shop floor boys don't.

I align myself with the opinion that the place does not dictate the quality of the mind

How many times have dealerships called local experts behind the scenes to solve problems for them?


Those who know know.

I have heard a story of a guy who fixes GM cars in Abuja that GM knows about because of his doing all the above, taking factory training, and by the way, he is not working at a dealership


Nigeria is not America where they insist on ASE entry level certification to work at the dealership

Like you said, who know knows, that guy in question might be one of them few Nigerians who depend on the internet for knowledge. He trains himself to fix complex problems. Car mechanics is not rocket science, they are basic ideas one can master and become a pro even self thought.
