My Nairalanders,

I need your opinion/advise on a particular matter.

Early this year, I bought Lexus RX330 and used it for a month before leaving Nigeria. Before I left, I removed the battery, locked the vehicle and covered it with a car cover to protect it from the sun UV rays. I brought the car keys with me, didn’t leave it to anyone.

Last month, a relative called to inform me that there are molds/moulds everywhere in the vehicle and even sent pictures and this got me worried. They suggested that I should send the key as to clean the vehicle. Due to my fear, I sent the extra key to them, not the original with remote buttons.

Today, the relative told me they were unable to open the car with the extra key. While we were discussing, someone mentioned that the pair can only open the safe, this doesn’t make any sense to me. I did a few google search and got nothing tangible, they were mostly talking about key FOB and so on.

Nairalanders, can you please let me know if you have experienced such OR/AND do you have any idea on why the extra key won't open the car.

Thanks….

Leave the car the way it is,when you get back open the car and connect eh battery start your car and give it a good wash.
if you leave your car derivable your relatives will KILL your car b4 you return.You did the right thing,PARK IT UNDRIVABLE. Just Ignore them
Thank me later!

THIEVES

who ever brought this up has lost its customers base already, how on earth would a bank tell its customers how to use their own money? ahahah
I see they never included Churches to the LIST!

captleonerd:
that's because the west is too educated to support anyone based on ethnicity. We are too civilized to be in the same country with the two other cry babies

If not for Lagos, what is there to talk about in the west?
The west is as Old as the North and the East in the History of Nigeria and has equal share in ruling Nigerians with the North, what have any of them leaders from the WEST done to improve the west? citing OBJ for instance.
Educated indeed.

Just because this current administration is failing in the midst of dwindling resources doesnt make the man that failed in the midst of plenty better. If Jonathan was still in charge things would have been much worse but then some groups of morons with selective amnesia and making this fool appear like a hero.

Jonathan we are not all dumb. We've not forgotten how you siezed a whole van of newspapers just because the publicydidnt favour you. We've not forgotten how a sitting governor in rivers state was placed on house arrest when your visiting wife blocked even the road leading to the government house. We've not forgotten how your wife made rivers state hell for the sitting Governor. We've not forgotten how you froze the account of Adamawa state after the Governor decamped to APC and you went after him with EFCC.

Yes Buhari is failing in the midst of scarce resources but he doesn't even have half of what you had in resources.

To the fools trying trying so hard to make us feel we made the wrong choice in 2015 you've failed already

Remove the OIl what esle? what is his xcuse for failing in all other sectors?

midehill:

If the UK govt could successfully prosecute Ibori for financial crimes during the tenure of GEJ then how come the same UK govt hasn't prosecuted Diezani for any crime?

Bro there is no case, the Uk govt has not found her wanting even %1 hence she is free. this fact is not new.Only ignorant people still believe in all this fake news.

Jakumo:
The Area Fada At-Large Charlie Boy, has FINALLY embarked upon a public protest that DIRECTLY benefits the Nigerian nation in monetary terms, thanks to Charlie's highlighting, and therefore expediting, the multi-billion dollar asset confiscation program currently targeting former Petroleum Minister Mrs. Frog Eye Madueke, the most prolific public fund embezzler EVER to access the Nigerian federal treasury in modern times.

With this singular action, Charlie Boy has established his sterling credentials as a Nigerian catalyst for positive change who REFUSES to judge any human being on the basis of their tribal ancestry, but rather assesses fundamental human character by evaluating the ACTIONS each person takes, and the CHOICES that they make, be that in everyday life, or in high political office, where verifiable honesty is THE paramount requirement.

The happenstance of sharing tribal commonality with Mrs' Frog Eye Madueke means absolutely NOTHING, to our man Charlie Boy, who has obviously chosen TRUTH and JUSTICE to be the hallmarks of his life's obligation to his home nation, Nigeria.

But then, as the son of a renowned judge in the court of law, a highly attuned cognizance of the distinction between right and wrong is only to be expected of Charlie Boy.

Despite the tribal war-paint and the stage make-up worn by Charlie MAN, the seasoned weaver of songs, has evolved over recent years into a compassionate, fearless, often reckless, but always JUST Warrior of Truth, for whom right and wrong are all that count for us all, regardless of tribe, nationality and race.

I raise my glass to you Charlie Boy. You is crazy as a muffug, but in a CONSTRUCTIVE way that has already assured the honorable mention of your respected name, on more than a few unfolding pages of Nigerian history.

I dont think you get the reason for this protest yet ahah ,he is indirectly telling the FG the woman has nothing to answer and if there is they(FG) should apply for her extradition!which if the FG fails to do Means they got no case against her and Im sure they do not.! lets see what happens.

Factfinder1:
Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, will on Monday lead a protest to the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja to demand the extradition of Diezani Alison-Madueke, former petroleum minister, from the UK to Nigeria.

The entertainer disclosed this in a statement signed by him and Deji Adeyanju on Thursday.

A few days ago, he led a series of protests to demand that President Muhammadu Buhari either resume office or resign.

In one of the protests, his group – Our Mumu Don Do – was attacked by hoodlums at Wuse market in the federal capital territory.

Alison-Madueke has been linked to several corruption cases in Nigeria. Some pieces of property she allegedly owned have also been seized by the government.

But the former minister insists that she has no case to answer and that the pieces of property linked to her were not hers.

“Following recent mind-boggling allegations of corruption and wanton looting of public funds and the collective patrimony of Nigerian citizens by the former minister for petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, we call on the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to apply for her extradition from the United Kingdom to face prosecution in Nigeria,” Charly Boy said in the statement.

“Furthermore, a federal high court has ordered Mrs Alison-Madueke to permanently forfeit several luxurious properties in several high brow areas across the country to the federal government.

“It is therefore unimaginable that the federal government is not pushing for Mrs Alison-Madueke’s extradition to face punishment for her alleged crimes.

“In this light, we will be holding a two-day sit out in front of the EFCC headquarters to demand that the federal government applies for her extradition and prosecution in Nigeria.”

GOOD very GOOD, let the FG put their money where their mouth is.

FrankGiel:
Smart Response... I hope u read my statement in context of the argument.. That is not to say that every one from the community is lazy, but a significant portion of indigenes who 'DWELL' in those communities are lazy.. On ur comparison with the UK, I agree that every part of the world has LAZY individuals.. But u can't compare the son of a rich man that refuses to work, to the son of a poor man that refuses to work.. They are both foolish, but one is more foolish..
Cheers bro

Ahaha haha
Bross so foolishness get Level lol that made my Day
#still laughing

FrankGiel:
Let me make u understand how lazy ur people are..
Every service company that works on the field are mandated to employ 4 indigenes (2 skilled, 2 unskilled) from the community per job operation and those indigenes are paid..from all my experiences, they never want to learn. They will never show up to be trained.. They will blab with their entitlement mentality, that they are landlord's. when its time for payment they will show up... Every company that visits the field/rig , mandates Their CLO to pay a required levy prior to going to the field. When we get to the field, a fresh set of levy is imposed.. All these money go to a selected set of disgruntled lazy individuals..
Long story cut short.. Ur people are pretty lazy!!

When you.challenge people you have to put them into perspective . You call people like me lazy . Let me.ask you what have you in person dome to improve human life in any capacity ? Look at me who is very lazy and you who is not lazy .U manage to get on a lazy bus to a lazy land and do a job people are too lazy to do.main while the likes of you generalise people of my extract as lazy and do not want to work . Go to Lagos . Don't you have same people who smoke all day and rob at night ? All over the world there are bound to B people who can't be bothered . Even here in the UK we have English men and women who can't be bothered to work . So that mean the English are Lazy going by your own self definition of LAZY ?

chloride6:
Really? Why then do wells dry up? Oga, Niger Delta oil will finish. Stop spreading jargons.

Crude reserves were accumulated over a long period of time and nearly all of it will be produced in about 150 years give or take.

I presume you did not even bother to read what I showed you if not you wont have come up with what you did there.I REST MY CASE.

WeirdWolf:
My concern isn't channeled towards doubting hydrocarbon formation process. Kindly re-read my previous post and respond accordingly otherwise...

Regards.

if you check or make research to how hydrocarbons are formed there would be no reason to doubt.it is a process that is continuous as photosynthesis itself.
This will help

FrankGiel:
Ur youths don't give a hoot about the spillage.. Majority of them are extremely lazy with an entitlement mentality . all they want is cash. They don't care about he spillage..

They already bombed their way from 0% derivation to 13% derivation.


If they seriously resume the bombing, they will get 30% derivation too.

I no wan laugh bt I can't hold it ahahahahaha
This joke fit wake dead men lol

WeirdWolf:
I never asked for an enlightenment on crude formation not to talk of hydrocarbon formation as a whole. I was referring to the period in future when the crude oil (not gas) will most likely not be in commercial quantity, what will be the fate of these communities n states. Knowing they have been adversely affected by drilling and production activities.

In other words, at that point where cost of extraction is no longer attractive for investors and technology isn't available to rip the reservoir of every drop of oil, what then, will be the fate of these communities?

In terms of remediation and compensation.



Thanks.

That's why I wrote what I did but you insist you don't need enlightment when you clearly do.Hydrocarbon formation is a continuous process ie it will never stop as far as there is life on earth .The same was said of coal . The coal at Enugu are still there rather technology mo ed on . In as much as technology still deem crude relivant the situation is same . There forever will be crude in them areas the only IF is if cheaper sources are discovered as seen not long ago in the UK and US .

AkumahTalk:
I took a trip to Okrika last month and all through the boat ride, all I could smell was diesel. The water its self had something like diesel floating on the surface and giving it a rainbow reflection.
The bitter truth is that we can blame the IOCs all we want but until we own our problems we'll keep digging ourselves into a hoLe. Some No-Good Naija delta people have been destroying their own land since time immemorial. This includes pipeline vandalization for criminal commercial purposes and for agitation sake and the popular local refining activity called "kpo fire" as well.

When I saw the mess, I asked myself "How can they fish?" IMPOSSIBLE!!! The indegens on the boat told me that "I ain't seen nothing yet" and I'm complaining.

I was astonished at the folly of the region. They will never learn. Tomorrow another pipeline will be destroyed and some will cheer; calling out the FG. Look at Warri and Portharcourt today and compare these cities to what they used to be. Everybody is now crying Lagos is monopolising commercial activities in the country. SHAME!!!!! When will you have sense.

The IOCs have done their risk assessments and adapted to the folly of the region whilst staying afloat and making their profit. FG is doing what they know how to do best; Nepotism, Political Rascality, Economic rascality and Democratic terrorism.

OUR MUMU NEVER DO?

Have you seen a vandalised pipeline 1st hand ? ?I have a good reason 4 asking . Cos the vast majority of us post on hear say now have your?

WeirdWolf:
What will be the fate of these communities when crude oil finishes?!

Crude formation is a continuous process in as much as hydrocarbons are formed you will get crude . The only variable is cost of exploration and extraction and this is where technology comes in.

What about clean up contractors, paying criminals to go and burst pipe lines, so that they can get clean up contracts?.
You tube is your friend OP, you can search for the video,
50% of Niger Delta pains are self inflicted.
All MADNESS will eventually end in COMMON SENSE, how come there are no noise of oil spillage offshore? does it means the oil companies took extra precautions on their off shore operations?.

Did you just say no Oil spillage offshore ?

Tolexander:
They aren't irritated by it.
Just trying to regulate some provocative activities on it.

China has one of the most regulation on the citizens' internet activities, behind North Korea. Yet it still has the largest Internet subscriber base.

Internet usage is not all about Afonja vs Flat¡no vs Aboki

Bro China is not a case study reason being population .

Statsocial:
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has noted that civil servants who send their children to Nigeria’s private universities are corrupt.

ASUU chairman, University of Ibadan chapter, Dr Deji Omole, who spoke in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Sunday pointed out that civil servant with children in private universities in Nigeria must be stealing.


The ASUU chairman spoke when he received a delegation of labour movement led by the Chairman NLC Oyo State, Waheed Olojede who paid a solidarity visit to ASUU in UI on the ongoing strike.



He said, “It is unfortunate that we have to go on strike again, for as long as we continue have bandits in government, we shall continue to struggle. It is sad that in Nigeria that we pay lip service to public education.

“They do not want us to have functional education so that they can continue to exploit us. Our presidents will first visit international communities for endorsement after their election and come back. The only problem they have is ASUU.

“There are about 200 applicants for private universities that they want to give license.


“They had wanted to sell public universities to themselves but ASUU resisted. How many of us can legitimately send our children to private universities?

“Our parents have served them, we are serving them now and they are already planning so that our children will serve them.

“The ruling class are united against the masses. All these ethnic jingoists are being sponsored by those who have lost out of the equation.

“Where is the place of the masses in the restructuring? Our oppressors are united. God loves the poor, he created them more than the rich, and it is left to the poor to use their size to chase away oppressors.”

modsfucker:
Hello all, I am finalizing a deal on 323i 2003 model and the machine has a compressor issue but I'm going on with the deal anyway. Can anybody who uses this car intimate me about its major issues please?

Never buy a car with a known fault unless you are confident you can fix the fault.
