Sorry I made a mistake, i meant to say granite but I kept typing marble.

Oh come on U don't need to say sorry , it's only a foolish person that think they might B correct all the time we know we would get there somehow

rotecch77:
Marble stone is diff, it will absorb oil, talking from experience.
The one for decking is igneous rock

So therefor the laminated top (granite is the winner then cos me I like Banga soup, U know what Im sayyiiiiiing

preggi:
Evening to all my Ogas at the top here... please could anyone share with me their experience(s) of laminated floors.

Also is it possible to get Wood grain tiles in Lagos?

Thank you

laminated floor in NIgeria? I wont advice that.cos of sand simple.I have one in my room here but I know why it is safe here, even at that, it still get chnged.

Ladies and gentlemen..... We are pleased to informed you that d ball has been rolling. It's going to be a pleasure rid........more than ever.Trust me!

Well done Oh Oga Boss, As usual, Im sitting at angle 90 of this class.

rotecch77:
Here in Nigeria most people preferred granite to marble bcs most marble do change colour, mostly if you use white or cream colour it will soak oil and turn something reddish in colour, although it happens to China low grade granite mostly rosabeta and rosapink, but it takes time before this can occur, something like 3 or more yes

Bross if you put one stone like the ones used i n decking in oil for 5 years, U mean it will absorb the oil?

marylandcakes:
Marble can be stained to what ever colour you want.

YOu do not stain or colour or put pattern on marble, they are cut rough from big stones then polished,
We use to have a company in town and I worked there as a boy during them times.The Italians are good at this.So the paterns are natural not man made hence its unique.

marylandcakes:
I had this done for 100k

Granite, if they sold it to you as marble go collect your money back

Africa should get rid of all these things..where was our so called tradition when the white man took us all as slaves.. These things help set us back many thousand years..that is why most of our big strides in development came when we where under our colonial masters.

We keep dwelling on tradition that adds no tangible meaning or advancement to our society at large.


modified

All of you mentioning me have refused to tell me how most of our traditions have added value to our society.

I dont know of any Oba where i live till they need 7 heads to bury him.. Is this the type of traditions we should hold onto?

Or traditions where we marry out 12 year olds and deny them the right to basic education ?? I can go on and on....

Only if you know howmuch it cost to preserve tradition, ask the English

You got loads of evil inside you.I recon you try and sort yourself out instead of joining the vaslin crew on this man's case.

Now it's Aluko + Koro's words against fayose's.. interesting

I still wonder why Mr Jonathan hasn't said anything concerning this yet.. Glad he didn't continue tho. could av spelt doom for Nigeria

for sone strange reasons life was more bearable then.

Originalsly:
The answer is yes. 120kph is 120 kph regardless if it's keke or Bugatti. If we are drag racing... both of us maxed out at 120kph... side by side down the last straight ....you are on the outside lane and I am in the inside lane... a left semi circle turn then the finish line... who will cross the line first? ...or would you try telling me we are going to cross at the same time? I rest my case.

If you was i n a straight line

watchworldpro:
mumu question. Simple maths. None can overtake each other at the same speed. However, horsepower and torque differences can push a car faster than the other from 120km/h to higher km.

U r correct but U 4 nor call teh guy mumu nah, it seems simple but yet hard to explain

adanny01:
I haven't.

I did as a matter of fact.

Yes, this is where you have misunderstood. True, the speed sensor counts teeth. The speed it counts is not what you think it is and this where me and u diverge. Rev/min, km/h and mph are all units of speed. The speed at this level is revolutions/min( you may say raw format). The speedometer in your car doesn't say rev/min, does it? The ECU converts rev/min to km/h or mph. Coverting min to hr is very easy and taught in elementary schools. To convert revolutions to km/miles is the complicated one. This complicated one is the exercise I did for you on paper. Did you read it and the links i gave you? You would have to know how many revolutions make 1km/mile or how many km/mile makes 1 revolution. That relationship can't be known with out knowing the diameter of tire. Hence my conclusions.

If your speedometer were to read rev/min I would totally agree with you but it doesn't.

It really doesn't matter the exact position of the speed sensor, different manufacturers place it where it is convenient. The only sure thing is that it must be on the gear output be it axle, shaft, wheel hub or even CVT joints. All these locations will give you same result in revolutions/min.

Pls understand that we are on the same team (car talk), no victor no vanquished. I do not know every thing and am sure you don't know all either. One's knowledge may start from were the other stops. Let's not lose sight of the purpose of the thread.

OK you just got me up side down, rev/min is done by this http://www.carsdirect.com/car-repair/what-an-engine-speed-sensor-does
big diff between the two, I was talking about vehicle speed sensor that goes to your speedometer like this http://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-replace-a-vehicle-speed-sensor
Im only hamering on this cos I have personaly changed my own speed sensor when my pedometer stopped working, plus changed my ABS sensor as well so I have first hand info about this.Let us not forget what teh ABS sensors does so we dont add it into this mix.
One thing we must know is this Car A might get to 50km/h in 10 secs but car B might get to same 60km/hr in 4 secs. however when they get to same speed the will move at equal pace

edebemba:
See SERAP turnabout in paragraph 6. According to Mumini 'At no time did SERAP suggest or hint that Mrs Jonathan was guilty of......... ' Now Mumini and his group are denying, but they have been shouting and screaming. See life.

The matter don tuff cos now dem go call person way make that statement out in court . So all man dey deny now

Gifts = $12M!!!

This is a slap on the face of all well-meaning Nigerians!

adanny01:
I just thought of one last explanation.

For example, am engine also has a speed sensor which is translated as the tachometer which measures revolution per minute.

TheABS speed sensor does the same but in this case to activate ABS when one wheel stops.

The speed sensor in the transmission output also measure revolutions per minute. This cannot tell the speed of the car in km/h or MPH. In translating rev/min to km/h you need to know how many km movement of the car makes one revolution. In this case, the ecu is programmed that x revolutions covers y distance. Y distance is based on tire size so changing it conflicts ECU programming making speedometer wrong.

Beyond this I have no further.

one question for you.
Have you ever changed your speed sensor ?
Did you take your time to read what I just wrote?
How the speed sensor counts the teeth on the gear to calculate it's speed ?
That gear I showed in that pic is not of gear box output but that of the axle in the back . Nothing near the gear Box.

With the huge discrepancy between the official bank rate and the black market, only fools still send money to Nigeria via transfer. I am not exonerating these guys but trust me, a lot of dollars and other hard currencies are coming to Nigeria in envelopes. There are a lot of Nigerians abroad with legitimate cash to send home, but they are just looking for someone trustworthy travelling back to Nigeria to move the cash for them.

there are 3rd party money transfer
where I live no one uses bank transfer . Beaides If U nor get paper u nor fit go bank to transfer money shaa

adanny01:
The bolded part is my main contention.

Dont forget you brought the issue of gear ratio which has 2 outputs, speed and torque.

It seem you missed my point. I am not saying or talking about how the speedometer works but the fact that the speedometer is a calibrated equipment which one of the factors is diameter if tire. The pic and your explanation gives a working description of that equipment without taking into account factors that gives it accuracy.

See from this www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer

what you said is true of Old cars old school,newer cars now use a speed sensor no cable or stuff.check this
Electronic speedometers work in a completely different way. Small magnets attached to the car's rotating drive shaft sweep past tiny magnetic sensors (either reed switches or Hall-effect sensors) positioned nearby. Each time the magnets pass the sensors, they generate a brief pulse of electric current. An electronic circuit counts how quickly the pulses arrive and converts this into a speed, displayed electronically on an LCD display. Since the circuit is measuring the number of wheel rotations, it can also keep a count of how far you've traveled, doubling-up as an odometer (distance-measuring meter). Electronic speedometers can also display speeds with analog pointers and dials, just like traditional eddy-current speedos: in that case, the electronic circuit drives a highly controllable electric motor (called a stepper motor) that rotates the pointer through an appropriate angle. Electronic speedometers are more reliable and compact than mechanical ones and the motion sensors can be any distance from the display that shows you your speed, making them suitable for any kind of vehicle ...
Im sure you must have heard of a Speed sensor,the speed is read by an ECU hence it can only be harked fru your OBD11 port.
That gear I showed in the picture is the Only calibration needed and its constant, I stand to be corrected, its either in teh axle or the output of your gear Box.
if we agree on the above now explain to me how the size of the tyre would influence the speed reading the sensor takes reading before the tyre?

Mr Fayose don't start wat u cannot finish, I don't support violence but dis marauders can cause mayhem. Agatu, Enugu and godogodo still fresh in our minds! Dialogue remains d best option. Godbless Nigeria.

that cos those places you metioned do not have this kinda outfit

I understand their plight in a country were STIGMATIZATION is the order of the day

Pls return home, it was never ur fault but as a result of bad government

Instead of bringing rescue their way, THE PAST ADMINISTRATION CALLED IT A SCAM BUT WAS BUSY SHARING AND ALLOCATING MONEY FOR THE ACCLAIMED SCAM

Still a SCAM until there is logical explanation for this simple question
when would we see one of the girls who will speak English .

oweniwe:
Nobody is even talking about

aerodynamics, age and size of the vehicles.

Would you say a bus or truck travelling at 120km will have the same speed as a Toyota Avalon at same 120km?

Or say a 2000 Avalon at 120km will have same speed with a 2015 Avalon also at 120km....

If the speed is the same, then why do people change cars?

yes Boss
check this would you say 120kg of steel weigh same as 120kg of cotton ? There lays ur answer.

sultaan:
This is getting interesting
I have a tendency of not fully explaining things hoping people will put things together. For those into wheeling they know to calibrate their speedometer.

The engine turns at X rpm which turns the trans at y rpm based on the gear and the trans turns the wheels at Z rpm if 2 similar cars are running at 2000 rpm in the same gear but one cars tire has a circumference 10% bigger than the other do you think it will travel 10% faster or at same speed

You are correct in that sense . But bro come to think of it this means each time you change your tyres you prescribed speed changes
question do you think this would be normal?
This was a problem faced by early Engineers bro
to get rid of this the readings of your speed had to be picked from something me and you can change its size
hence the pic above .

adanny01:
Quoting from the link you gave

The way a car speedometer tells the speed is a direct relationship between how fast the transmission is rotating to the diameter of the tires which actually tells the distance travelled. Speed is a relation of distance covered with time. The tires give distance cover and the rotation of the shaft gives the time.

A speed sensor of a car cannot tell the distance covered by the tires but is calibrated to a specific distance (size of tire). Change the size of tire and calibration is off.

Secondly, you have mistaken one thing. A small input gear turning a small output gear will give higher torque but not speed. That's why a bicycle has a very small output gear and a big output gear and bigger tire. Understand, how bicycle gears work and you would understand the whole concept. Bicycle with 9 gears have 3 at the front and 6 at the back. The highest torque is achieved with the smallest gear at the input and the biggest gear a the output while the highest speed is achieved with a combination of biggest input and smallest output gears.

In addition, the bigger the output tire, the more the distance covered at the same rate of rotation the higher the speed.

The smaller the output gear the higher the speed and the less the torque. The bigger the input gear the bigger the speed too. In out thread of discussion, the gear system doesn't change but a tire size change affects speedometer accuracy.

I know exactly waht Im saying, you are bringing toque into the mix which os of no significant, cos we talking how fast a vehicle goes which has nothing to do with toque whis is power.let us stick with speed for now.
You see the Pic below, that gear I circled in red, is what the speed sensor bears down to, it counts how many times the gears goes past it.However big your tyre is the size of that gear remains same and thats what the speed sensor counts(putting it that way).Do not forget the speed sensor is just a magnet that gets interpreted by the car's computer.
So from here you can see the sensor picks the speed(motion)here before it gets to the tyres irrespective of your tyre size, this is same as well for those that have it in the rear assy.Its this spider gear that turns the shaft that turns your tyres.
Another typical way to explain this is simple,from waht you are saying if you upgrade your BMW tyres from 15 to 17 like I did then you will be getting speeding tickets right cos bro your odometer is a big thing in the west to check your speed limit.

adanny01:
I think I get sultaan's point. Although, he left calibration out.

The bigger the tire or rim diameter the higher the speed. That's where I agree with him.

However, vehicle transmistions are calibrated to be used with specific diameter of tires/rims for the speedometer to be accurate. Any change from factory sized tires and rims render the speedometer incorrect. In this case, the car with a larger sized tire than spec will be faster even though the car speedometer reads 120km/h. This is just an apparent speed not the real speed.

Driver A can claim he overtook driver B st the same apparent speed but their real speed isn't same. With real speed there is no way there will be an overtaking just like you explained

Nop
to your first line about sizes of tyres there is a simple way to explain it to you
If you did physics lets go back to gears and gear ratios or simple cogs.
A small gear turning another small gear will have a higher speed output that same gear turning a bigger
next line i would like you to research is this, why do you think the speed sensor in your car is either out the transfer case or in the mid axle and not on your tyres/hub?
I give you a quick reference, the jeep l iberty and its likes have thier speed sensor pointing directly to the rear axle assy,this is where the speedometer picks its speed from.
This might help

OBJ was spot on.
The Fulani have a right to engage in their pastime but equally have no right to damage other ppl's crops.
This was why he explained the existence of grazing grounds even as far back as during the colonial era - so that Fulani can live and let live.
Unfortunately, there have been so much encroachment into these grazing land by farm and other settlements over the years so that Fulani have been having less and less places to graze - leading the inevitable clash between them and farmers.
One of the ways to address this problem is to give the Fulani back some of their lost pastoral grounds by restoring some of the past grazing grounds - hence the proposed bill.
Its simple common sense.

Lubish, you believe that craaap of graze land abi?, why was cassava plantation not spotted round the nation.We want teh meet without teh cattle simple, they are more than welcomed to graze up north and sell meat down south

2dugged:
he obviously formed his opinion based on his political affiliation and so does most people on this forum, but if we must be truthful and look at it from the vantage point of the common man on the streets, for God's sake people have been killed, people have been raped and lost their source of livelihood and this is all he has to say?,anyway,I hope state governments will hold him to his words and act, the onus is now on them, since it's not a national issue

This is why I like the Ekiti man, protecting his own. Thats is grass-root governance for you, he might not be perfect but aggressive to-protect his own at any cost.

then I guess the onus now falls on state governments to enact laws through the various states of Assembly to protect its indigenes, just like Fayose,simple, but come to think of it,if it's not a national issue, why is the grazing bill a national issue?, such hypocrisy coming from the ota farmer, smh

Well said U see how OBJ embarass himself and his followers ? ?

Earth2Metahuman:
far from it..

Efcc said the account was used in 2015, the statement of account posted didn't show the history of 2015.

The accused said the account was dormant not efcc..
We all know, even dormant accounts can be used to steal in Nigeria. Even though, we cannot say she is telling the truth that her account was dormant or not.

Why not wait for efcc to bring proof before calling them lairs even when this accusation has not been bursted as lies?

plz explain how a dormant account can be used in stealing since toy said it.
