My brother you are not current on Nigerian Economic Issues. Even Ikonjo Iweala blames GEJ government for the current economic crisis bedeviling Naija, she says they have advised Ebele to save for the rainy days but he refused. He keep on squandering our treasury till it's virtually empty. Please follow the link below and watch the video in which she made the statement. At least i have developed your current affairs https://www.naij.com/801484-okonjo-iweala-lie-condemnation-gejs-govt-watch-video.html

Can I ask you something where did you go when some state govt took GEJ to court over sharing of this said savings?

If you really do not understand much what the update is talking about, please calm and wait for politics... That is where Nigeria have much talents, and still obviously blind. I am already seeing illicit comments from quotas... sometimes our silent is much appreciated

Such statement can only come from one who is ignorant and full of em selves.

under whom trilion of dollas were looted,and the looters didn't denie? Best president indeed.

That's what we where told still it's not been proven yet and no one is in jail for the said sum

It still doesn't stop the sale and demands for asbestos. Infact e (garri) dey sell pass indomie. .

You can live in the space, ko kan aye. its not how far but how well

I think you are getting the whole thing wrong, that thing you call asbestos is not asbestos,asbestos is a part of it from back in the days, nowadays that thing you call asbestos no longer contain asbestos,my village has one of the biggest producers of so called asbestos from back in the 80s and late 90s until they stopped.I know how many people few people who died from working there in the 80s and early 90s.The last I know died 2015 this is after leaving that factory as roughly 18 yrs ago, he was diagnosed here in teh Uk to have advance stage cancer,it was fru investigation they realized he worked for this company and he went back to take them to court, case was ongoing, he only lasted 4 months in 9ja.
So bro its not Joke, the ones with materials from the 80s are stable, if you make them unstable it becomes deadly trust me.

Memejem:
When someone gets cancer in a Nigerian hospital have you heard of them trying to trace how said person got the cancer? Or do they try to treat it?

Anyways I've said what I've wanted to say. If people have knowledge and choose to do otherwise they only have themselves to blame should something happen in the future.

P.s. I'm not a sir. I am a female

Anybody who says going near asbestos is not dangerous is ignorant in 2016,I stand to be corrected, I have seen the dangerous effect of it 1st hand.

Can a lightning even affect a concrete flat roof terrace? Enquiry mind wants to know.

Oya @EgunMogaji, go google this o.

Hajji M.

Yes it can, this is as a result of charged electrons around it.
I saw this so I thought I share it after this yeye people play rubbish waste MAN time

A cloud-to-ground lightning bolt's main objective is to find the path of least resistance from the cloud to deep into the ground. Most houses are filled with many potential routes for lightning to follow in its journey. This can include gas and water pipes, electric lines, phone lines, cable TV/internet lines, gutters, downspouts, metal window frames - anything conductive in a house is 'fair game' for the lightning to follow. Lightning doesn't need conductive objects to reach ground, however - it's just forged its way through miles of air, so conductive objects in a house are a mere 'convenience' that it will use if they are available. AT RIGHT: Lightning strikes a tree and house in Charleston, West Virginia in 1998.

Lightning passing through a house will often 'branch' and utilize more than one path to ground at a time. It can also jump through the air from one conductive path to another in what is called a side flash. For example, lightning may first connect to electric lines in the attic of a house, then jump to better-grounded water pipes on the first or second floor. Lightning can connect to gutters, then jump to a window frame as a 'stepping stone' to the electrical system or water pipes. All or part of bolts have been seen jumping from wall outlets to sink faucets and even across rooms!

Unprotected Structure
Animation showing possible lightning paths to ground inside of a house
Lightning current will produce significant damage to a house that is not equipped with a good protection system. Professionally-installed lightning protection systems are expensive and the risk of a direct strike is low, so most homes do not have them.

Lightning presents three main hazards to a house that is hit directly:

Fire danger: The biggest danger lightning poses to a house is fire. Wood and other flammable building materials can easily be ignited anywhere an exposed lightning channel comes in contact with (or passes through) them. It is most common for lightning to start a fire in the attic or roof of a house, as the channel usually has to pass through some of the structural material in the roof before it can reach a more conductive path such as wiring or pipes. When lightning current travels through wires, it will commonly burn them up - presenting a fire ingition hazard anywhere along the affected circuits.

Power surge damage: If lightning chooses any of the home's electrical wiring as its primary or secondary path, the explosive surge can damage even non-electronic appliances that are connected. Even if most of the lightning current takes other paths to ground, the home's electrical system will experience enough of a surge to cause potentially significant damage to anything connected to it, electronics in particular.

Shock wave damage: Another major source of damage from lightning is produced from the explosive shock wave. The shock waves that lightning create is what produces the thunder that we hear, and at close range, these waves can be destructive. Lightning can easily fracture concrete, brick, cinderblock and stone. Brick and stone chimneys are commonly damaged severely by lightning. Lightning's shock waves can blow out plaster walls, shatter glass, create trenches in soil and crack foundations. Shrapnel is a common secondary damage effect, with objects sometimes found embedded in walls!
What about a structure that has no wiring or pipes? It is rare for a house to be devoid of electrically conductive paths to ground, but they do exist - such as camping/fishing cabins. In that case, all bets are off on how the lightning will choose to reach the ground. Again, the lightning has just jumped across miles of non-conductive air, so the lack of wires or pipes won't stop it from passing through a completely non-conductive structure. Such a structure does not provide a person with good lightning protection - so if you are caught in one during a storm, consider moving into a hard-topped automobile which provides a much better degree of safety.
What can you do to stay safe from lightning while inside of your house?

Since we know the common paths lightning can follow in a house (wiring and pipes), the best thing to do is stay away from those paths as best as possible during a storm. Direct contact with them should be avoided. This includes taking a shower or bath, washing hands, doing dishes, typing on a computer, playing video games and using a wired phone, tool or appliance. Metal-framed windows should be avoided. Wireless devices are safe to use (cell phones, cordless phones, remotes, etc).
Direct skin contact with earth ground should also be avoided, as lightning current can travel through soil and across wet/damp concrete. Wear shoes if walking in a basement, garage or patio.

What to do if lightning strikes your house

If your home is hit directly by lightning, your immediate concern should be for any fires that may have been ignited. Call the fire department! Again, the most common place for lightning-caused fires in a home is in the attic, but they can start anywhere the lightning has traveled. Some fires inside the walls and attic may not be immediately apparent and not easily accessible. You should also watch for falling debris from damaged chimneys, shingles or walls.
You should also strongly consider contacting an electrician to have your home's electrical system inspected for any damage that might present a future fire hazard.

Can you get struck by lightning inside of a house?

While it is rare, yes, it is possible to receive a lightning injury inside a house. Burns and electric shock injuries can occur when someone is in direct contact with one of lightning's chosen paths to ground. The most common indoor lightning injuries involve a person talking on a corded phone or resting on/looking out of a metal-framed window. "Side flashes" (discussed above) that jump across rooms can also cause injuries, but are very rare. Indirect shrapnel-related injuries from building materials have also been documented.
How to protect sensitive electronics from a strike

It is nearly impossible to provide 100% protection to sensitive electronics from a direct lightning strike. The best thing to do is to unplug any high-value item you wish to protect during storms, as surge protectors and UPS units can't provide direct-strike protection. Some could argue that the risk of a direct strike to any given house is too low to justify unplugging everything for every storm that passes overhead. It's wise to make sure your homeowner's or renter's insurance covers lightning damage. Your insured expensive electronics can be replaced, after all. However, consider irreplaceables such as the data saved on your computer (photos, videos, work files, etc). You can mitigate that risk by performing frequent offsite backups and/or storing data on an external hard drive that you can unplug when needed.
Should I have a lightning protection system installed?

A professionally-installed and well-grounded lightning protection system will reduce or eliminate the fire and injury hazards if your house happens to be struck directly. You will want to assess the risk of a strike and weigh the costs versus benefits. Insurance may be a more cost-effective option, especially if you live in an area of average to below-average thunderstorm frequency. If you are located in a zone if frequent lightning activity (such as Florida and the Gulf Coast regions of the USA), a protection system may offer more of a benefit.

@abdulwastecx

Thanks for the info.

I was told that the thunder arrestor is mostly needed in water logged areas. Is this true?

I bought all the other stuff on the list apart from the arrestor.

Who said so? Lol anywhere you have thunder you need one so in simple terms we all need one.saves you vital electrical devices in your home.it protects them against sudden power sudge from thunder

tbaba1234:
I am struggling to see how the US first lady being in Africa is related to the topic. Certainly, if she is meant to be in colorado on the 30th, she will.

Please can you provide evidence of the conference, that took place in May.

Of its true she in Africa then the news is void as she is meant to be the host right?

KolaShangOne:
In the light of EgunMogaji''s build, I think he should just wait, incorporate the Arrestor into his big build (that's where all the expensive stuff will be) since he's not planning to live in the garage apartment or Nigeria as a whole, FOR NOW.

Also, the big build will have a cross hipped roof which of course will be higher than the garage roof.

A single Arrestor can serve his 2 builds.


Glad to see Hajji spent 75k for his Arrestor. Dear client in Ibadan, I know you're reading my posts.. You remember I only took 65k and U were still vexing for me that I 'wasted' your money

Etoo:
Thanks man. What of no. 9 thats P0155. Can that code also be the cause of the black smoke.

Could be it's same as your O2 sensor problem
Problem is ur car consumes way . much fuel. So check everything intake in your carpoint ur mechanic to this direction. Clean your Mass air flow sensor. Check for leaks. The O2 sensor should the third culprit. From your scan you there seems to be no serious problem except your pocket via fuel.

PO100 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Malfunction

Basically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit.

PO500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction, I take it your speedometer is not working right?I had same problem got the speed sensor changed and speedometer started to work.

PO136 Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2).Hmm this has been covered enough on this section of NL I think its the last thing you check


P1155 TOYOTA - Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction Bank 2 Sensor 1,Toyota specific code

Etoo:
Thanks man. Im becoming hopeful with ur encouragement. Thanks man

number 1-4 are same thing random misfire, check plugs and injectors. 301,303,305 means cylinder 1,3 and 5 respectively.

Number 5 &6 Code PO171- Lean mix of Bank 1 (passenger side of engine)
Code PO174- Lean mix of Bank 2 (driver's side of engine) Most of the time a P0171 and P0174 is caused by either a vacuum leak--more than likely the PCV hose and valve or a dirty or defective MassAirFlow sensor. Low fuel pressure can also cause this condition. The PCV hose is located on bank one but can affect both sides because the other end is located on the back of the upper intake manifold. Usually they deteriorate and get a hole in it.

Etoo:
Thank you all for the suggestions. I really appreciate how helpful everyone has been. I ran the scan today and so many codes were found viz;
1. P0300
2. P0301
3. P0303
4. P0305
5. P0171
6. P0174
7. P0100
8. P0110
9. P0115
10. P0136
11. P0500
12. P1155
13. P0101

Im really scared on where to start on these issues. I will appreciate if any suggestions on how I will start repairing is offered to me on this thread so that i will relate it to my mechanic. Its a shame, most mechanic at Onitsha are still outdated. I really thank God for the advices i got from this thread so far. Any idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Wow E plenty, anyways we are watching football, when we finish we shall start with the most serious ones and narrow it down, no need to fear or be worried, it well.

AnakinSkywalker:
Video evidence for those accused of soliciting through parking attendants, yes. This probably happened within the general hotel premises. Almost all hotels follow the principles of crime prevention and fighting through design and have cameras at good angles.

However, video evidence for the harassment in the room? Did they keep cameras in the rooms or was a lobby camera just at the perfect angle to capture the room when this all transpired?

Regardless, this is a serious matter and Nigerians shall be known internationally as Sex Offenders amongst other vices and crimes we are already tagged with. If there is anyway this matter can be handled more quietly, then let us use that avenue.

This is embarrassing and will eventually add to the inconveniences, embarrassment and disgrace that Nigerians suffer outside the shores of the country.

I don't think it's in the room it must have been in the common area

Progressive01:
Isn't it shameful that you lot suddenly believe SR??

When they investigated and found the Aisha Buhari in the US isn't the same as the president's wife, you called them names and accused them of being useless and that no one takes them serious anymore.

When they released Fayose's phone numbers, same story.

When they revealed Jonathan's criminal deeds, same shiit.

Alison Madueke's sordid past, the same.

But once they run a story against Buhari's government, they suddenly turn best buddies!!

I feel so disgusted and ashamed of you people.

We dnt

Pay your debt.

I do no think for one minute he will.Howmany years more does he have to live?He is still a rich man his personal assets can't be seized only the company's which is sad. But he is rich kids are set up for life so why should he care?

To all those iPob youths calling him Minister of darkness, keep it up. And make sure you applaud NDA today like you always do when they blow up gas pipelines.

And you call these affordable right? cant you see how empty they look??/
Ignorance leads to subscribed blindness

OsusuMustFlow:
Nice one. The Minister of Darkness

Realy, how is that wonderful,
we do not need affordable housing from the FG, we can do that ourselves we are already doing it, what we want is good roads and stable electricity plus security.security. Thats All not these project they initiate to put monies in their pockets. howmany have we had #ENOUGH

Plz who go epping me write names down? I have been on top big Ben watching Brexit take place
It's realy getting hot in here.

So no more Shengen Visa for Boys?

Same same jst that she gen countries will soon require visa to visit the UK.

seunmsg:
Those militants are looking for real trouble and they will soon get what they are looking for if they dont desist. They should keep their violent act to the south south and south east region, south west is not interested. We want a peaceful and stable country where there is shared prosperity not silly miscreants creating problem for losing a free and fair election.

So U believe true true say na militants come there
Ask yourself what will they want from that poor area?

honmusa:
apologies ,thanks for pointing out my error .it is the o2 socket I meant to say he should remove and confirmed immediately if the issue is due to a faulty o2 sensor but it seems the ops is another trail entirely of swapping what is not faulty.

No worries man we learn each day.
Op in clip it at the clip.just follow the wires frm the sensor upwards
