Meanwhile, I met this guy (a rugged Naija carmaker in Ajah yesterday. The construction of the ATV bike-like car attracted me to the guy. I believe he's got the capability to do something out of the box and decided to chat with him. Maybe one day we will build a rotating tv wall and floating decks. This are simple mechanics


Our DIY guys are yet to pull out some extreme designs due to lack of skilled artisans to work with.

Definitely not the most perfect build but it's an effort that's worth mentioning.

Re kitting you Cat converter was waste of money as you just succeeded i n choking your exhaust system I'm sure they just used ordinary wire mesh.The core substance in your converter is platinum and Rhodium, one is oxidizing the other is a reduction agent..Your cat converter is just to treat deadly and harmful exhaust gas into less deadly and harmful exhaust gas B4 it passes to the atmosphere.As for your fan wired Directly, I'm struggling to see the relationship of that with your problem

My RX300 has a similar problem,i have changed 3 airflow meters all to no avail.My car drinks fuel like water.After purchase,delivery and first servicing,it was found that the CATALYST POTs were removed,could the smoke be from there?

Martins301:
Dele Momodu likes to talk from all sides of his mouth. You spend time composing an epistle as long as river Nile and then fill it with half truths and over generalizations.

For your information sir, the WHOLE country never accepted Jonathan's defeat in good fate. If they did can you explain the sudden agitations from the SE region that has plagued the government since May 29 2015?

Am quite sure you are aware that recent militant activities are an offshoot of those same agitations but you won't say so.

The government has made meaningful progress in keeping to it's mandate. It has beefed up security (applicants no longer pay to apply for government vacancies) and also commenced implementation of it's social intervention programs.

What I expect you to do is write an even longer epistle asking all those who have stolen and stashed our foreign exchange in their bedrooms and faraway lands and banks to return the money. Tell those who are painful losers to accept defeat magnanimously and pray for Nigeria's progress and stop being a peddler of lies and bad omen.
To your last paragraph, name 10 people in APC today who where not part of the last govt
you guys keep reffering to stollen forex and savings, where you dead when few govt frm the SW and one frm the SS took the then FG to court to share the savings huh huh where you huh huh
and let me ask you, what did your own state govt do with his share huh huh
You talk of people blowing up Oil wells etc,is it fair than al the wells are owned by ex generals and friends all from teh North and South west of the country? is it huh huh
Fast 4ward to last two weeks, did you hear of the launching of the cleanup in Ogoniland huh is it now clear to you that it was a political stunt as the Fg had no clear mandate to enforce its claim as regards commitment subsequently SPDC(Shell) had pulled out and there is no cleaning up indefinitely huh huh
let me tell you something,Those up there in ABJ dont care about US Nigerians all they care about is that money they al share at the weekend and it comes from Oil.Now that money is stopped cos of activities of Militants.They are going to find a way of settling these militants and it would be Biz as usual.

Thank God stealing is now corruption. I keep wondering how all these financial atrocities were perpetrated and our president of then was cool with it, it baffles me.

Few weeks ago I read about Metuh begging to return 400 Million as said by his lawyer, that's the Nigeria I want for myself and children, not a Nigeria where we celebrate thieves, and when you see the government chasing past thieves you'd hear people say "witch hunt", how pathetic! As long as a witch is hunted be it APC/PDP corrupt witch I don't give a damn, as long as politicians get to feel to heat that stealing money now has consequences I'm ok with that.
think out of the box a bit, so the Nigeria you want is where criminals return stolen monies and they go free right? who in thier right minds would allow a self confessed criminal to go scot free? don't you think someone is telling porkies??
This is how the DSS claimed Dansuki said this and that.And Dansuki confessed all the people that he gave money to.Now it was his day at court to say same with his ow n mouth and to be cross examined waht happened? DSS refused to bring him to court cited unspeakable reason just cos tehy know they cant bring evidence of the claims they made in teh media.My friend sometimes people who are in position to fight corruption are the real thieves than the accused.I recon we should stop glorifying these so called persecutors until they secure an outright conviction and stick to the job at hand instead of scoring cheap points in the Media.

what your dad did might be different from what I will do.

There is a kinda material (I don't know if we use them in Nigeria) that will be layed after casting the floor, it will be layed round the entire place with fire that wont show any block or plastering. Another light screeding will be done with cement after laying that material and your pipe will be taking the water down.
you are talking of tar right?

Travel › Re: Spouse Visa/indefinate Leave To Remain(uk) by erico2k2(op): 10:52pm On Jun 10, 2016
FTA:
Hello experts in the house.
I need advice. My wife is British /Nigerian and stays in the UK with my two sons. The younger is now British cos he was under 18 when his mother acquired citizenship. The older one who is just graduating from uni has a provisional leave to remain. My wife has a good job with income in excess of £30,0000 and currently has a savings in excess of £50,000 from sale of property in January this year. She has been in her current job for more than 6 months. Now I want to apply for spousal visa. The key issues are:
1. I have been visiting the UK for about 8 years now but did not disclose that my family is there since they were all the while regularising there stay.
2. My last visa was 5year's multiple which expired last December.
My question is what is the likelihood that my not disclosing the presence of my family being in the UK affect my application for spousal visa.
I currently run my own real estate practice but I intend to rely on my wife's financial position which is more than adequate from the guidelines I have read for my application.
Thanks
Question: Did they ask you if you have any relation in the UK and you answered NO?

Our security disscussion was on burglary and bulletproof doors while our Nigeria local thieves are upgrading.

How do we prevent the below? Are we going to use two blocks or we are going to increase the thickness of our plastering?

We use double bricks for outdoor here, tho they cant be compared to naija cos they are cheap. It will take the thief days to break in.

Amnesty should stop crying wolf where there is none. They are IPOB terrorists and you can't expect the military to fold their hands and let them break down law and order. Nnamdi kanu their terror leader taught them to become rebels on his evil radio before been locked up like a church rat that he his sad Anyone calling for the break up of Nigeria deserves the bokoharam treatment. Bokoharam has flags, IPOB has flags. Their common objective is to establish a sovereign state out of Nigeria which will never happen. Lord luggard saw the strength in our diversity before handing over power to the north. This is why the easterners are angry and will not subject themselves to northern oligarchs but unfortunately ojukwu later realized igbos progress is in Nigeria and can only be attained by co-operation with the west and north. If the igbos are ready to denounce biafra we will gladly vote in an igbo president. Biafra will never come in Jesus name. Amen sad

U live and work in UK and u are arguing blindly about what is going on in Nigeria.

What I submitted was that if u know what u stand to gain by insuring ur car, u dnt av to do a fake insurance because when they hit ur car, the fake insurer will not give u fake currency to fix it.

So legislation or no legislation, I can not put an uninsured car on Nigerian road.
Excuse me I drive in Nigeria as well and I can extend my insurance down there to 3rd party.
All what you said do not address what I have raised.
If insurance is flexible there would be no need for fakes simple.

At times Google can be misleading cos the quality of the information is a function of the ignorant provider of such info.

By saying u decide ur premium is simple. Comprehensive insurance is fixed at a standard percentage by the insurance company let's say 5%.

I can decide to value my 10 million car for 6million and pay premium on the 6 million

I can value my 1 million car for 2million.

Calculate 5% on 10, 6 , 1 and 2 million and tell me who decide how much premium I pay on my car ?

Nd no insurance company in Nigeria will allow u pay monthly, u might pay in 2 or 3 installments not monthly.

I am not talking theory here or waiting for legislation. I am talking about what I pay and claim when the need arises.

So dnt believe everything u copy and paste from Google.
Guy I live and work in the uk I ha e driven for 15 years so why do you think I need Google when you cannot drive without insurance?
You made a point that no inssurer will allow you pay installments. Good this is why we need a new law to make is have underwriters same as we have in the west. That way the average earner can insure thier car.It would be more attractive and sideline the fakers.

Reading the bolded, it shows u are extremely ignorant.

For ur information u decide ur premium, u value ur car and based on that the premium is calculated. BESIDES that, from depreciation calculation u cnt pay same premium for 10years. (That is not possible)

Once again u are caught lieing out of mischief and ignorance.

Engaging u further is a waste of precious time.

I am done
You decide what premium you PAY FOR YOUR CAR huh huh huh
Plz I need anyone here who pays insurance for thier car to hear this,
for you information since you have no clue let me educate you a bit,
The Insurance company gives you a questioner to fill orally or in paper, they judge your risk and give you prices for various level of cover
You get comprehensive
Third party,fire and theft
you chose waht one you are going to take.
You chose to A Pay in full
B pay monthly if offered
if you pay monthly it means you go fru an underwriter who pays your insurer in full and loans you the money to pay monthly and adds their interest to your monthly instalment.
if you do not have these options then you go fru a broker.
YOung men will fro insults just to hide their ignorance especially when they have been found out,no constructive argument to explore teh unknown.STOP MISLEADING PEOPLE
