Yeye

Thank goodness we are migrating from GEJ to just PDP
Lol name whim amongst the present govt that was in power the last 32 yrs plz

Cinemas and shopping malls were reintroduced in Nigeria by the South Africans in 2005 or so (The Palms, Lekki, Ceddi Plaza, Abuja and Silverbird Galleria, VI the pioneer). Then I could remember how they come in every mins to fix stuff. You may need to find out who maintains those malls for more than a decade now.
Everyone from the MD down to the cleaners are Nigerians and they deal with the most sophiscated gadgets you can ever mention. Maybe that's the reason why I'm tagged Jack.

Anyway, it didn't take long before we took over operations and for more than a decade now, more shopping malls and cinemas that is rated above average are springing up here and there in Nigeria.

You still believe it's purely foreigners at work.

Bros, think different!

Well how do you get en ovate when you are not exposed to new ideas via training plus learning how to do things in a diffrent way?
I have been sent to China and Canada by my company for training. And I have trained people from Dubai and many places of the world

Thank you. Much respect. So many indigenous coys got the deal. I have a design of one of the school sent to me by one of the bidders.

Bros, you'll only fall my hand if you say that piece of cake is something only foreigners can do. Even the finishes is not up to the standard of finished quarters at Alausa. Then I'll know where to place Dominionng.

Why do we engage foreign artisans? A typical "Yoruba" construction worker is lazy by default. This explains the reason why Togolese, Ghanians and other foreign artisans are mostly used.

Why do we need foreign support? Our research centers have failed us. We need to ride on their expertise and successes to achieve more. Which construction company in the whole world won't do that?
ETEX gave NIGERITE support and people were sent abroad for training. Even a common Pendini (Kitchen Maker) sent people to Italy for training cos they know it'll cost more to do it the other way.

#WillTheyEvenKnowTheDifference?

I get work jor.

I don't think sending leopard for training is a bad thing
Remember. If you where trained locally on a machine you might need More technical training for maintainacne. You will learn more via exposure.

I've even put $100 down on it

It can't be done.

Ah I add £100 to that ahah
Howe've you remember that bricky tool I showed us wen we was at the other thread b4 this was formed?
That would make the mortar finish almost perfect

Your opinion is highly appreciated. If you have nuggets of knowledge to share with us about anything discussed, please feel free to contribute. With the way I see people hailing you left and right on this site, I expected you to chime in with something more substantive than "#importthespacers".

Is it possible to build a wall as neatly as this picture below? Any reason why block walls shouldn't be painted in Nigeria?

Patiently waiting for your response, boss.

NOp cos teh process of making them abroad is different form teh process of making them in Nigeria

boldx:
I sincerely appreciate your concern. I will find a way of showing appreciation as time goes on.
My camshaft sensor on bank 2 of my V6, the one close to my radiation has a bad clip. Though it is still fitted, you can pull it off without any resistance.

Take a pic lets see as you are me ant to have one cam sensor and you screw it in, its not a clip mechanism.

nurey:
I wanted to suggest this too but don't have much info on it. Am guessing the engine should throw a code if it's cam sensor and you said no code. Also since it is only hard starting when hot you are experiencing I doubt it's the cam/crank sensor.

That was exactly waht happened in my case Wen hot no start, wen cold it starts and it was throwing a code as well

boldx:
My car is 2000 sienna. 3.0 Litre V6 engine.
The engine cranks well when cold and comes alive but does not start easily when Engine is HOT unless i throttle a little. I have scanned and there are no codes at all.
The car runs extremely well, doesn't drag at all when climbing a steep slope. No rough idling at all.
On live data, STFT is -3.8, LTFT is 0.0 for bank 1 and 2. Timing advance is 15-17 degrees.
The thermostat is still very much in the car and it doesn't overheat. Normal optimum temperature is 91*C. I don't think its a fuel pump issue.
Am thinking of ECT sensor from my online research. Please help. This is complicated for me.
Many thanks in advance.

Scan your car and come with teh codes,
U have same problem with my Jeep liberty, it turns out it was the Cam positioning Sensor, but still scan for fault codes

Killing yourselves and insulting yourselves and fathers all in the name of political afiliation
These Politicians are all the same
As U can all see its one huge game to all of them APC or PDP what's the diffrence nkw.they all dine behind close doors and laugh at Nigerians.

The MOT advisory to me is not about the thread or the age. But a crack line they noticed on the tyre which they showed me and that coupled with the age (6 years) was a cause for concern.

So your thread may be within legal limit and age less than whatever. But if there is a crack on the tyre and you ignored it....... You can deduce the rest.

We are at same page. Regardless of age your tyres can be deemed fit or not it all depends on physical depreciation of the tyre. If U buy one that was made last month and 3 weeks down the line there is significant ware of thread due to alignment problem you got to change it.

lond07:
I will not agree the MOT centers are after their own profits because I am not bound to buy the tyres from them. And yes I make bold to say my tyres are 6 years old. The car is not for everyday runs (mileage is just 17440 as at yesterday)These where the tyres that came with the car from the factory. I will take pic and upload later so you can confirm this. (Not with the car at this moment).

You see, the point I was making is I was not comfortable with the age of the tyres no matter what the thread level is. And the moment there where concerns one way or the other on them, that sealed their fate. I know what I am capable of doing when on motor way and for that singular reason, will not play baba ijebu on my life and my passengers.

U miss understood me I said the MOT centre are after your safety but the mechanics and tyre people are after profit.

Mztarstrechy:
So why didnt they blow it during GEJ's regime?

Cos there was WIP

sooperrescue:
None, at the moment but based on research, milan, kewalrams, infinity, bridgestone, dunlop, hankook and michelin tyres, the result has been it is a four year issue. And there are many contributors that have affirmed that it is four years. What else is the reason for his outburst on tyre matter?

WELL if none why did you LIE andsay what you said up there about Nigerian tyres? ?
Main while where did they say 4 years?
Plz quit assuming
PMS. Learn today there is nothing in any research that suggest expiration of tyres however they have issued advice based on best practice ie check ur tyres 4 ware and tear after 5 years. And U can ever use one tyre for 5 years.
PS U can get a ban under rule 8 for lying and misleading others.

sooperrescue:
wao, that was hot. You must have an issue that only you can resolve. All the tyre manufacturers that you claimed talked about no 4 year expiry date, are they based in Nigeria? We are talking about Nigeria and you are here babling about the tyres in Europe. What research have you conducted to prove me wrong. If you dont have anything to say, just read and move on. The op asked for expert opinion and it is either you give your own opinion or ......

DOn't just dismiss people like that, let me ask you, name 3 tyre manufacturers in Nigeria OK just two plzzzz

sooperrescue:
it is not worth the risk and you are not in a formula 1 race, but we do take it once in a while. The people who drive porsche carrera are not taking silly risks when they buy the car, they love the thrills and the power of the car, that itself is an addiction which is not permissable for everyone

Bro U think the Porsche is faster than the BMW m3?,I take comfort over speed any day.

SO what happened in the END?
May 23rd has come and gone any update?

sooperrescue:
You might call it silly but it is worth the risk. If you drive on a european highway, you will be out of place when you roll on 100km. The drivers slow down when they sense that the radar is nearby and continue the high speed once the coast is clear. Do you know the frustration of driving an S600 v 12 at 120km? If you dont, then respect those that paid for a machine and they want them to drive the machine like okada. Even in the country, from ore to benin, it is 28mins for a 99kms strip on a range rover sport.

Oga its not only silly but stupid, I drive a BMW 320Ci 2014 bough brand new , and I have driven in Europ for 15 years so what do you want to tell me or U think Im a kid of yesterday
Don't take my word for it get caught driving 160 km/hr see waht happens to you you are here talking about radar, in Holland you don't even see the speed cameras they are hidden and there are mobile speed cameras in Poland.U are comparing Nigeria where they have no speed awareness and no respect for Human lives,.Stop this frame of mind its not good for yourselves and other road users,.there is a reason why the road limit was set,,this where judge from deep research and safe braking distance.
I drive inNigeria and I keep my speed at 90-100km/h,there is not much diffrence btw me and those who do 160km/hr highest they get there 10-20 mins b4 me.Is that RISK WORTH TAKING?

Well, below is an excerpt from Michelin Tyres website:

How old is too old? The five year test
After five years or more in service, your tyres should be thoroughly inspected at least once per year. If the need arises, follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer regarding replacing the original equipment tyres. As a precaution, if the tyres have not been replaced 10 years from their date of manufacture (see how to read a tyre sidewall), Michelin recommends replacing them with new tyres. Even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down to the tread wear indicator.

Source: http://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/learn-share/buying-guide/when-should-i-change-my-tyres.

However, that said. This is my own experience just today. I did MOT on my car last week and the MOT centre recommended that 3 of my tyres are six years old; that I should plan to change one of them particularly, claiming that this one was already showing a crack - (sign of ageing); that the other 2 are still okay till next MOT.

I took the car to Toyota Authorized car service center today for annual service and waiting for them to do their own assessment. To my surprise they said the 2 front tyres are due for replacement but the condemned 1 by the MOT center is still okay till the next service.

Confused. So I asked them to do a second assessment which they happily did but came back with same result. But at this point, I had to use my own judgement to replace the three. (the fourth was relatively new because I bought that one last year). It's all about my own safety and my passengers. But I was puzzled that these two centres were giving conflicting results.

Just a point I would like to note these centres are watching out for thier pocket MOT are watching out for your safety and that of others. Did you check your thread and the depth of ware? ?The MOT guys must av checked your markers. Have U ever come across those highway patrol teams? They will check your markers and the depth of ur thread
But how would U manage to use one tyre for up to 6yrs in the UK are you kidding me? ??
Make we see the pic of your tyre thread plz

Read the bolded it says after 5 years inspect your tyres it did not day change them..This is the point I'm steering us to. If U live in the UK and drive. U will never fail MOT if ur tyres are 8 yrs old but U will if you have less than legal limits of thread.

Brussels to Paris on a Toyota Supra 3.0 Turbo Targa, 260kms, left the balance 20 on the mileage for the Car. 180km on Lokoja Okene road, on an E class 240, was mindful of the speed then because I had H speed rating fitted which means I cannot exceed 210kms. Even at that speed, a small 1.8 Toyota Corolla overtook me, Abuja Keffi road, 180kms, same mercedes, a vboot 300E came and overtook me. I later caught up with him at a petrol station in Lafia just to shake his hands. There was a client of mine with an S class fitted with an H tyre rating. At 200km, a tyre blows out. When he complained, we told him to get W or Y rated tyre since there is no way he can get ZR. He traveled to the UK and came back with ZR tyres. I have been to all the major tyre dealers and they sell the temperature B tyres and the funny thing is that it is common in all these smaller cars. I have also been to the AUTOBAHN but not as a driver, I followed someone on a saturday outing of the BMW CLUB of Zurich and it was a thrilling experience. That is when you know that you are driving an M 5 series. The bottom line is everyone should check the temperature rating on their tyres. The potholes should also be avoided too because there are sharp edges inside that destroys the side wall of the tyre that even a run flat tyre is useless in the hands of our potholes.

Oga I said ligally. The only place U can do that and not get arrested in the whole world is the Autobahn.
U guys driving at speed in excess of 100k/hr are the drivers we termed stupid. This is the point where U are bein totally irresponsible. If you drive @100m/hr equivalent to 160km/hr in the UK is and Automatic Ban.
Same across the whole Europe so plz rephrase your statement
