its just few that are boxed up, most don't really make much money from the music, its basically endorsement deals, or some illegal business they're into

Thats what I meant, who makes money from selling CDs these days? they make money from show abroad, look at Bona Boy still making money in Uk as early as this year.in three cities in teh UK,people pay up to £30 to see them when Usher charges just £20

I changed my spark plugs not because they stopped working or the car was misbehaving. I changed because my car manual recommended i change it at 100kmiles which i did. So i kept the old in the car. This is the same situation with my serpentine belt though it has dried and cracked up, but incase of emergency it should serve. In fact i buy brake pads before the one in the car wears out. I sometimes buy oil filter too.

Wheel spanner is a standard item in a car. Non of the things i mentioned are standard.

How often do you change ur brake pads?

SnowJay92:
That's because they're seeing the power na. Had it been there govt connives with power companies to force them to pay for darkness, they'd not feel that way.

well thats waht the FG should do right about now.Mandate them to install PYG metrs and see if they dont improve,The GENCOs would even invest in new power station of thier choice with no kpem frm FG

Max24:
Who sold to these unserious discos and gencos ? Was is not Jonathan? If OBJ had sold to weak Unseriouse telecom operators then the same would have happened with telecoms. Only if u knew how useless Nitel was before OBJs privatisation u would understand.

Either you are to naive or just plain arrogant to understand waht you are saying.you think the seller has control over how the buyer runs its Biz if appropriate laws are not put in place? seriously??

bjhaid:
worth more than what? In case you don't know most of them are in serious debts, Na endorsements and wire wire just dey Cover dem up

U might just be suprised,you know these guys organize thier own shows, in the Uk and US.

SmartBug:
That's a 70million vehicle. Toooooo expensive for a Nigerian musician to afford. That's Photoshop at work.

Nigerian musicians are worth more than that.

TriumphJohnson:
Nigerian Musician and Soundgod, Runtown has acquired a new lamborghini.

Congrats Runtown.

If you drive a car 5 years and older, you may have the need to prepare for the inevitable breakdown. Your car should be out of warranty and for this Naija, it will cost an arm and both legs to have your car towed to the workshop. Some problems are worth 2 mins troubleshoot with right tools, why wait for an hour or more for an experienced mechanic or tow truck. The mechanic you may find around may do more harm than good. Besides, a break down on the highway is dangerous these days so you might wanna get back to speed before kidnappers come calling.

For me, driving a 14 year old car, i have some tools to help myself. The picture below shows how prepared i am. These tools are cheap for one to can start buying with N100.

Some are essential while others not so essential.

The list includes
1. Flat wrench 8 - 22 (i suggest buy flat/ring 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, 22)
2. Flat/ring spanners 14 and 17 (i lost 10 and 12)
3. Combination of 8, 9, 10 pipe wrench
4. 8 and 10 pipe wrench
5. Socket wrench handle and long extension with 10, 12, 14, 16, 16 long (for spark plug) and 17 socket (i need short extension, you may have to know the size of plugs in your car usually, 14, 16, 17 and 19)
6. Pliers
7. Utility knife
8. Small philips (start) and flat head screwdrivers (i lost the flat)
9. Changeable philips and flat tester screwdriver
10. Screwdriver with 6 changeable flat and phillips heads
11. Vernier caliper
12. Feeler gauge
13. electrical insulating tape
14. old spark plugs (lost 1)
15. old serpentine belt
16. electrical wire strands (make sure you have spares of fuses although there are instances the wire will be necessary)
17. flash light
18. DC charger/usb
19. Cork opener and knife (this has been very useful)
20. 3.5m measuring tape
21. The bag i store most of them

Lets see what tools you got in your.

Y old spark plugs?I do nt see you adding wheel spanner to that list

I got full tool box in my boot, I got all sockets , tox and hex.I take no chances

Max24:
Thank God that the privatisation of telecoms happened under OBJ. If it had been done by Jonathan he would have messed that up too the same way he messed up the sale to discos. At least d telecoms privatisation under OBJ is more stable than Jonathan's power privatisation.

Get sense, the idea was perfect but the DICOs and GENCOs are Devils, they want profit but do not want to invest.like the telecoms are investing.

Max24:
why is that so?

cost more,there is man power involved each time you top up,same for every service be it gas bill or phone bill.Monthly charges are way cheaper than PYG

Opinionated:
Owerri is located in the heart of Igboland in Eastern Nigeria. It is the capital of Owerri and one of the most tourists friendly state in that part of the country. As Easter beckons on us, so many people will be searching for destinations to visit and getaway. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency recommend that you include Owerri to your Itinerary. We share reasons why you visit Owerri during Easter.

You can fly to Owerri as they have the Sam Mbakwe Airport which is about 14 miles (23 km) south of the city. That is if you do not want to go by road.

There is so much to do

You must have heard about the statue of Jesus Christ in Imo State. It was modelled like the statue of Jesus Christ in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. It is located at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah and it has a height of 28ft. You can check out the statue. Besides the statue, you have the Oguta lake, Nekede Zoo, Owerri Amusement park, and Mbari Cultural and Arts Centre among others

It is inexpensive

You don’t need to break the bank to travel to Owerri. It is inexpensive to explore the many tourist attractions in the state. It is devoid of all the shenanigans of a typical city like Lagos. In fact, you can book a hotel for as low as 3,000. Wow!

Owerri is always animated during Easter

For Igbos who didn’t travel home in December, Easter is the only opportunity they have to go see his/her people. Hence, Owerri during Easter, Owerri is bubbly and lively and their hospitality and warmth won’t allow you to return to your abode.

Tasty Meals

The gastronomic endowments of Owerri are one of the best in South East Nigeria. You will salivate when they serve you the indigenous Ofe Owerri. This is the most widely eaten soup in Owerri and it is usually eaten alongside Akpu. Just ask a local to take you to the best restaurant in town for you to have a taste of this soup. You will lick your plate. In fact, without tasting this soup; your visit to Owerri is incomplete.

Damn this wack get power

talktonase:
It is not by class of degree oh.The race is not for the swift or powerful or intelligent but Time and chance happenth to them all...

wrong ohh, ah, if the pastor says clap for Jesus its only those with hands that will clap,
The point Im trying to make here is give yourself the best chance for opportunity in life, so teh OP is right

thecommunist:
what they mean by rejection is that they refused to confirm that they will take the power if generated by the gencos.
the way it happenes is that if ane when the GENCOS have the capacity to generate a certain amount of megawatts, the NERC will get intouch the the DISCOS and tell them so so megawatt is ready to be generated, if they want they will tell them to go ahead and generate it that they will receicve it. the problem is that most DISCOS cant manage large amount of power generated because it will result in debt for them because most consumers will bypass or refused to pay at the end of the month(for post paid) after enjoying a month long electricity supply

Lie, it just mean they are going to charge consumers for electricity the neither received or supplied.

maxiuc:
my prepaid meter have not seen light for 5days now in lugbe fha abuja

so no light no payment


get your prepaid by any means meet those nepa boys find them small change dem go help you source for one thats how i got mine

This is good, no light no bill, lets see how the DISCO make money.

Islie:
https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/discos-reject-10-200-megawatts-in-1-month/192795.html

And they will charge consumers this said rejected powers.Well I dont blame them its the FG who do not have the balls to compel them to install PYG meters or no light no bill policy.

wristbangle:
Where did I mention that I was bothered about it? Maintain your lane and mind your damn business pls.


If the N25M can be channel into something valuable, I am okay with that. Well the SUV car will become significant if it can be used to chase assets.

commenting here at 8.22 about efe means you are bothered, do you need a native doc to tell you that??

Chinese train leaving Yiwu for Europe on 3 Jan 2017Image copyrightBRUNEL SHIPPING

The train left China two weeks ago
Global Trade

The drink Brits go to bed with and Indians wake up with
Would you risk jail for a cup of tea?
Has this dress been to more countries than you?
Is this the food that is making us all fat?
It's not on a boat, it's not on a plane, it's on a train. The newest way to send your freight from China to Europe involves spending 15 days on a train that doesn't have a buffet car in sight.
On 3 January in Yiwu in eastern China, a bright orange locomotive pulling 44 containers laden with suitcases, clothes and an assortment of household goods set off on a 7,500-mile (12,000km) journey to western Europe.
Ten containers were taken off at the German cargo hub of Duisburg. The rest made up the first cargo train from China to arrive in London at Barking's Eurohub freight terminal.
London is the 15th European city to find its way on to the ever-expanding map of destinations for China's rail cargo. Last year, 1,702 freight trains made the voyage to Europe, more than double the 2015 figure.


Media captionTravelling from China to London
Yiwu Timex Industrial Investments, which is running this service with China's state-run railways, says prices are half that of air cargo and cut two weeks off the journey time by sea.
Market demand
The UK's biggest supermarket, Tesco, doesn't have any goods on this particular train but does use rail to carry toys, electrical goods, homeware and clothing from China to European rail hubs such as Bratislava in Slovakia and Krasnaje in Belarus.
Alistair Lindsay, Tesco's head of global logistics, says the supermarket prefers shipping its goods because this is the most environmentally friendly way, as well as offering the best value for money, but that "where we need to move products quicker we have that option to do it by rail".
This decision would normally be driven by customer demand for particular products, he says.
Map showing route of the train
It demonstrates how market demand and the realities of globalisation are increasingly allowing China's President Xi Jinping to realise his ambitious plan to revive the ancient Silk Road.
Trade route
For centuries the fabled trade route from the ancient capital of Xian provided a link to the bustling markets of European cities such as Istanbul and Venice.
In the 21st Century China has become the world's biggest exporter, with the export of goods totalling $2.28 trillion (£1.85tn) in 2015.

The Silk Road provided a link to the markets of European cities like Istanbul and Venice
This rail expansion is part of President Xi's "One Belt, One Road" (OBOR) trade policy. For Beijing it offers another way to sustain its economic growth.
Kazakhstan is one of the countries on the route and it was there that Mr Xi first outlined his vision in a speech in 2013 saying, "This will be a great undertaking benefiting the people of all countries along the route."
Extolling the virtues of globalisation was a theme he repeated again at Davos this week.
For some, this is as much political as economic, offering Beijing the chance to project soft power as well as demonstrating it has the influence to thread disparate nations from Russia to Spain together.

China is also pushing its version of a "maritime silk road for example", by building a $1.4bn port city in Sri Lanka
"[OBOR] is set to become Xi Jinping's grand legacy," says Dr Sam Beatson, of King's College London.
"Regardless of the returns on offer... the policies will continue to be pushed as a means of seeking to fulfil Xi's dream under his leadership."
Reduced emissions
One of the other legacies President Xi is trying to tackle is China's pollution problem. While rail cargo is not as green as sea transport it emits less carbon dioxide (CO2) than air travel.

Freight transport accounts for about 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions
This is the "first argument when trying to get our customers to re-evaluate their options", says Johan Ignell, rail freight manager at Swedish cargo firm Greencarrier.
It calculates that a 40ft (12m) container with 20 tonnes of cargo would account for just 4% of the CO2 emissions it would take to move it by air (though emissions would be more than halved again if it were moved by sea).
Freight transport accounts for about 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but it is "fraught with difficulty" to compare emissions from different transport modes, says Prof Alan McKinnon of Germany's Kuehne Logistics University.
Prof McKinnon, one of the authors of a 2014 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says "load factor, energy efficiency and power sources all make a difference and can be hard to ascertain".

China is now the world's biggest exporter
He adds: "While shifting air cargo to rail will certainly cut emissions, container shipping will continue to command a significant carbon advantage over transcontinental rail, particularly now that most vessels are slow steaming to save fuel."
There is also a business case for this emerging trade route to grow. Not least among European companies looking to export to China.
At the moment there are no plans to run a return train service from London but that could change quickly. China is already the European Union's second biggest export market - though there is an EU trade deficit in goods of about $190bn.
Growth potential
For UK companies facing up to the reality of Brexit, China is an attractive proposition and the train carries new opportunities.
Brand Avenue is a company that already exports British-made goods including cosmetics and jewellery to China, and chief executive Jody Jacobs says he's exploring moving to rail.
"We deal a lot in goods which weigh a lot in comparison to their volume [which is] where airfreight becomes expensive, such as cosmetics and baby food.
"So for us a service which is quicker than sea and cheaper than air is a great middle ground."

For established cargo companies rail also offers the potential for growth. Shipping lines have seen profits fall because of overcapacity attributed to the aftermath of the global financial crisis.
The world's biggest shipping company, Maersk, told the BBC it is investigating "possible opportunities" in long-distance rail, though it sees them as supplementary to sea and air routes.
China is planning another 20 European routes for rail freight, and with the world's demand for consumer goods continuing to grow, all the ingredients seem to be there for rail to help the global economy steam ahead in 2017 and beyond.

Make it rise enter next month "In Sha Allah".

If they artificially modulate it as they've been doing, sure it will fall. But if they stop then it will rise catastrophically.

We simply need to earn not spend dollars.

Our foreign reserve is next to nothing now .

diordaves:
The IMF warned a couple of days ago that the Naira is over valued at £450 by 20%. Since then there's the current steady slide of the Naira to about £475 now. The temporary boost to the Naira value is as a result of government intervention by dipping into the foreign reserve. This is just a stop gap knee jeck reaction. This can't be sustained as plundering the foreign reserve to temporarily support the Naira is a questionable economic decision, supported by the IMF statement we will see a further slide in the value of the Naira.

As at current economic perenthesis, the real value of the Naira is £550. So prices have currently improved in recent times with the government intervention but this is not expected to continue in its bi-weekly form as the intervention is not sustainable in the long term. Prices will further go north as the Naira moves to £550 in value. Make use of the temporary drop in some prices and buy big budget materials like rods, cement, tiles now!

Tbh I think the real value is 800

rabcnesbit:
No forex keep going down, the naira was about N620 to £1 not long ago!

Nah two weeks ago it was 450 now 475 so in your own ie for two weeks is it going down or up? Y Monday it might be 480 . This was how it got to 630

my Mrs had a bad leak on her car,you can only see this leak when the car is on max temp and the engine reved up.it was from teh radiator.
I also suffered over heating due leakage,the water never reaches ultimate temperature for the fan sensor to kick in thereby no fan no cooling water boiling , that was the day I realized you cant direct wire BMW cooling fan.
