Etoo:
Thanks Honmusa. At the moment, I'm monitoring the performance of the car. The black smoke is reducing. If its not clear before Saturday, I will remove the sensor as u advised. I have also learnt how to disconnect the O2 sensor. Thanks man for all ur advice so far.

Did you remove the O2 Sensor

honmusa:
REMOVE THE SENSOR!!!!

Bro are you orite
if he removes the O2 sensor there will be a hole in the exhust and it will blow,are U for real?
Now I see why GAZZUZZ unfollowed this thread

Etoo:
@honmusa, my mechanic has started the elimination method today. He replaced the MAF sensor and advised that i drive the car till Saturday ( since i drive only from home to office and vice versa) for the smoke to clear.
As im waiting for that, I needed the gurus in the house to inform me whether the effect of d change is supposed to be immediate or gradual. Thanks

Your mech has started draining your pocket,how can he touch your MAF sensor when there was no diagnostic done on the said car?

Etoo:
Hi, I just finished from the mechanic, its not an oil sludge. The electrician said since no engine light is showing, there is no need for the diagnostics. The black smoke still comes out on higher acceleration and the fuel is highly affected.

I dont know whether the injector can be the culprit. A mechanic was telling of 2 sensors near the injector that possible could be causing it. Is there any other possibility I could check pending when the check-engine light surfaces?

Dont listen to that mechanic that is limiting you to what he knows, GO FOR SCANNING and come back here with the codes

Activa:
You're moving into an opaque area.

Which capital projects were those?

2. What was their value?

3. Were they PAYING for them?

4. What percentage of the budget was capital expenditure? What was the absolute figure?

5. Does it make sense to borrow for salaries while able to afford capital expenditure?

6. By what percentage has the price of crude fallen?

7. Can the recovered loot be spent now?

8. Is there no capital project going on now?

It's good to be fair to all.

At least you've accepted that Okonjo Iweala borrowed to pay salaries, answer these too.

we are talking about now not B4, Y are they borrowing? this was used as a political tool to win election remember? now tell us waht you think was the reason for borrowing when they said they have recovered loots.WHY BORROW 2016

MrTruth4real:
Currently there are more than 10 banks, selling forex, abt 15 or 20, (not sure) but i think any bank can sell fx, till December this yr. From December only banks who meet the requirements will be allow to sell fx. So let's wait and see how many banks will be able to make the requirements.

U miss understood the question. I asked who are the blackmaketers?

nuelyoyo:
Dasuki!!! The ATM that never fails to dispense cash.

I like this ATM machine oh.

I can Bet you any money Dansuki never said half the things they said he did.

Tunde Odesola and Eniola Akinkuotu
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has traced N1.310bn to some company accounts allegedly belonging to a former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore.
The money was said to be part of the N4.7bn allegedly disbursed by a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, and his two sons, Gbolahan and Babajide.
The N4.7bn was said to have emanated from the account of the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2014 and then transferred to the Diamond Bank account of Sylvan McNamara, a company in which Obanikoro’s sons are the signatories to its bank account.

Omisore, who has since been declared wanted by the anti-graft agency, allegedly received the funds in four tranches from Sylvan McNamara between July and August 2014, a few weeks before the Osun State governorship election which he lost.
A document detailing the transaction showed that the money was paid into three company accounts allegedly belonging to Omisore.
A detective at the anti-graft agency explained, “On July 9, 2014, N150m was paid into the bank account of Sawanara at First Bank. On August 1, 2014, N300m was paid into Sawanara Limited.
“On August 8, 2014, about N160m was paid into the bank account of Fimex Gilt Limited domiciled at UBA. On the day of the election, August 9, 2014, N350m was paid into the First Bank account of Metropolitan Consortium.”
Omisore had, however, denied receiving any money from the ONSA.
Speaking in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, on Wednesday, Omisore said the Federal Government was out to nail him and other members of the opposition at all cost.
He said, “I don’t know Dasuki from Adam. I never went to his office. The Federal Government is just using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to victimise and embarrass me.
“They had said I received N600m, they later said N1.9bn, now they are saying n1.3bn. Which of these figures do they want to pin on me? They have kept shifting the goalposts at will.”
The former deputy governor had also sued the EFCC for N10bn and prayed a Federal High Court in Abuja to grant him an order of perpetual injunction restraining the “defendants (the EFCC) either by themselves, their agents, officers, servants, privies or otherwise however called from making such or similar defamatory publication of and concerning the plaintiff (Omisore) to any person or persons.”
Meanwhile, the sons of Obanikoro on Wednesday shunned the invitation of the EFCC.
The anti-graft agency had last week stormed the home of Gbolahan and Babajide and seized the property located at 10 Mojisola Street, off Banana Island Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.

EFCC bring Dansuki out for cross examination so we can find out if he is realy saying all this craap he is being potrated as saying.stop hiding him.

imamabi:
The lion of Yoruba race how will u respond to this.

But to be honest I have never seen a Yoruba man that is so myopic like fayose coz how will a politician be so blind to the extent of not seeing this coming?

Anyway I believe Nigerian politics is base on age and money not true wisdom that's why we have foul cultured politicians everywhere.

I am not yoruba but I smell a rat.Now he has challenged the EFCC to publish the so caked statements of account the shows the alleged transaction
EFCC ova to Una.

amagunnerfan:
You are getting a good deal. World remit payout 435 to the pound. Or 306 to a dollar.

Na I dnt use them thieves. I use 9ja BDC agents here.
I just got a text frm them BDC agents.they can buy from me today @N460.

Koolmexxi:
So did d CBN and govt suddenly start printing dollars they claimed was scarce and dey didn't have? After granting a few access to the nation's forex and dey in turn hoarded it to enrich themselves over the past few months? Trial and error policies as usual. Wen several analysts called for dis same move, bootlickers kept making all the noises and praising d stance of d govt and now dey have eventually swallowed d hard pill and done d needful I can't help but ask, to what end was d initial suicidal policy on forex restrictions?

They won't like your comments ts.watch out for name callers

martineverest:
its now 320 in black market

Did you buy at that rate or you are just quoting hearsay

amagunnerfan:
You probably use world remit or lebara, those networks are cheats. I am in Nigeria but have an offshore business with new to move money down here at least 3 times a week, lebara and co are thieves. Imagine remit paying out 197 for a year until 3 months ago? Those unregulated companies have a mind of their own, you can't factor them in.

Nop I don't, I use a BDC agent here. The BDC frm Nigeria have various agents here in London. You pay to thier accounts in Pounds they debit your Nigerian bank account in Naira. The rate they gave me yesterday 22nd was 452. They charge £30-35 fees to transfer £1000 and £5 to shift £100.so if the BDC buys frm me at rate of £1 to N452 how much do you recon they will sell?

ever811:
I use to blive that fayoshe has sense until now.did any body invited her to come and prove her innocence in the US?

you are right on that one but even MAMA Peace went there several times, lets wait she wil def go on her own b4 the 4 years time expires

MrTruth4real:
There is still black market because banks will not release dollars for some 41 items, such as toothpick, frozen chicken, rice etc, so importers of such items will have to go to the black market to get dollars, also banks cannot provide dollars for all importers in Nigeria, they believe some goods are important than others, so they provide forex according to how important they feel the product is. But over a long period of time if investors invest in this country n dollars become very much available black market will disappear.

I think you are over excited,who are teh black marketers?
Anyone who deals in forex other than teh banks right

chiefkpokp:
NAIJ.com can report that the new foreign exchange policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) may have started taking its toll on the bureau de change operators. Findings on Wednesday afternoon revealed that after the flotation of the Nigerian currency, the BDC guys have started lowering their rates as more banks have been empowered to sell the naira to interested buyers in a bid to have a single market for forex trading.

Rising from its N335/$ rate on Tuesday, the Nigerian currency now trades at N320/$ on the black market as more buyers prefer to purchase from authorised dealers rather than the black marketers. Sources at the BDC informed our correspondent that they have been in trouble since the new policy took effect on Monday, June 20. Although many of the operators are still on the streets, trying to get people to buy their dollar which may soon get beyond their reach if the new CBN policy swings into full implementation. Meanwhile, there are also reports that the CBN sold a massive $100 million at its interbank spot on Tuesday, as the country’s apex bank seeks to pay the backlog of $4bn being owed.

Speaking on the latest development, CBN’s spokesperson, Isaac Okoroafor told Bloomberg that, “It’s our estimate that the bulk of the backlog of orders has been met. “We’re very optimistic that liquidity in the FX market will improve. Whether we decide to intervene again depends on the dynamics.”

The new policy, according to Godwin Emefiele, the CBN govenor, is one that ensured the floating of the Nigerian currency, and the fact that the foreign currency will only be obtained from only a market. When NAIJ.com’s crew went on the streets to ask the BDC operators for their thoughts on the new policy by the central bank, they were quite evasive, as they vowed that they had nothing to say about the new development. Most of them stated categorically that it will not in any way affect their smooth operation.

Sammijokase:
Please can somebody give me the breakdown on the cost of building a. One bedroom flat

no size?

n3xt:
You actually mean this property attached below. Ha! It does not have a building plan. It was built in a village and not the city by a quack.
It also doesn't have an address except on google map.


Keep following my posts I'll share the plan briefly and take it off.

wen u get the time we like to see inside the building, must be nice inside too

IamPatriotic:
Things can't continue like these in Nigeria, it's either it changes for the better, or we go our separate ways, and that won't happen until we (Yoruba) want it to happen, and for now, we ain't convinced that Nigeria can't be refixed, until Buhari proves otherwise.

WORD

Make Una dey do like say Una no Know, 2day is my Birthday the 22nd, so make una bring una gift sharp sharp

diordaves:
Spyder880 you may need to re-visit this project to carry out further inspection of the guttering as there may be unpleasant consequences long term going by the method adopted. How?

Guttering has been part of the building code in the western world for a long time but trickling down to Nigeria only recently. The purpose of roof guttering is not to protect the foundation of the building as some as posted. In fact guttering has no connection to the building foundation. However if not properly done or not maintained, this can pose serious structural problem to the building which may include the foundation.

So what is the purpose of guttering in buildings? In Europe, the purpose of guttering is strictly about economics of cost. In some parts of Europe including the UK and Germany, the water utility company will invoice you both for the water supplied into your building and invoice you for the water going away from your building into the sewer. So the size of your roof is a function of the quantity of water going into the drains when it rains. Guttering is a means of collecting that body of water for invoicing in time past. So folks protested and by way of circumventing this invoice, they now used guttering to channel the rain water into containers for use in gardening and not the drains to save up on sewage bills.

Another reason for guttering is the roof design. Look at Pix A and B below. You will notice the eave is almost non-existent. Unlike in Nigeria where you could take shelter under a roof when its raining, in the UK rain go beat you die. So guttering is to keep water away from the walls which may cause serious damp and to keep your rain water away from your neighbour's.

Guttering can easily be block by leaves and ferns. If this happens and it goes uncleared this may have serious consequences like damp walls, rotten roof timber, pop, ceiling as the water will find a way into the building. Guttering should be maintained regularly i.e cleared before the rains in Nigeria. Again you may suffer these consequences if the guttering is not properly done. See pix C and D below and Spyder880 build ealier. From the pix C and D you could see what is to come if that guttering is not revisited: damp walls and defaced paint work at the minimum. This may also be applicable to Spyder880 Owerri build.

Now the question is do we need guttering in Nigeria? The answer is NO as our eaves are of long and wide span so there is little danger of rain water pouring on the walls but with the recent incursion of parapet into our building design, our eaves are getting thinner and short just like in the UK, so there may be need for a properly done and well maintained guttering.

good point hence I posted roofs with and without gutters o n the streets of London.
but I think certain building where you might get run offs of rain water unto the wall it would be grate to channel the water away at this I can say this is the o nly good reason you could gutter your house in Nigeria.
I think Spyder is not planning to leave that gutter like that,

Oga hope your mind don come down on the currency issue?

My brother the whole thing is INCONCLUSIVE

erico2k2, in AZUH's voice. Are you going to fly to Naija from dat roof?

Did you get the pound ££££?

Those hardware you inquired about are in everyday builder stores in Naija.




#nowibuildburglaryproofandgates

People wey get power pass me dey D forest, the £££ I manage hold just size pocket power mike dem own full bag
Anyway, so I can free up 10kg on my luggage if i can get them in 9ja, need them for 3D printers.

spyder880:
I agree.

So it safe to say that if you are going to do those fancy parapets on your build its a MUST TO HAVE THESE GUTTERS to keep the facelook of you build.
On a 2nd note, if you have a different roofing design ie you roof has a clearance of say 1m from the external walls.Would the gutter serve same purpose? or rather beautification?

EgunMogaji:
Oga Spyder do you have any contact for rain gutter in Ibadan?

baba Just buy sockaway pip, slice it in the middle whalaaaa U don get gutter pipe
on a serious note Im sure there are loads of t around ur end like oga spyder said, U jst need the right contact.

spyder880:
The one we did in owerri today, note the downspouts which will be fitted with hoses later to channel water to the Desired places.......

COrrect, now I like to talk about just teh gutter, that building definately needs the gutter cos the clearance of the roof ending to the building is next to nothing same as this Pic of my roof here .cos the rain water would just flow 2wards the body of the building right?

EgunMogaji:
Oya bring am make we discuss

Here
I missed pics of where the water runs to ie drain head or man hole where it joins the mains(sewage line) etc

Now that Im back frm the Bush of Waltham Forest I want to return bck to that roof gutter mata, I took few pics while in the Bush
lets reason with them for starters, Im hoping they are clear enough
