tsiriman:
I don't understand you.

what I meant was go by the mileage consumption stated by the manufacturer, if it says change every 15K miles do that, anything short of that is money down the drain.

Boss13:
You wish. This means nothing if small businesses cannot thrive and get listed in the NSE

Name what kind of small Business you are talking about? don't forget just one of the premier league clubs from the Uk is listed on the NYC,(ManU)

ojdollars:
Anyone got an idea?

Yes.thats the idea of glonalization and tbey too can key in ours hence more money n biz.in any2ays its a win win situation

tsiriman:
I serviced my corolla with 5W30 mobil 1 extended performance oil and the extended performance filter.
Wow, the sound of the car has even changed, the car is quieter, the engine runs smoother, so far so great.
For the past 2.5 years, the car has always been serviced with mobil 1 0W40 sold in the filings station.

Mobil says the oil can run for 15,000 miles but I plan to run the oil for 8k tp 10k miles, I'll update the house on the success.

Go by the milage bro @ 10k m8les change woulld be waste of money

Intoxyka:
Hello guys,

lomomike:
From XfR vs M5 to history of modern civilization, sociology, industrial revolution, Rolls Royce, u boat, and now World War. Very brilliant, but stick to the topic pls.

Lol Oga no one else is saying anything so we just add spices to move the ministary 4ward
Anyday the M5 is a winner.

peterjero:
I never argued whether the British wasn't instrumental to modern civilization after all I'm a graduate of sociology and I can as well teach about the industrial revolution for 4 weeks. My argument here remains as it stands in today's world British engineering isn't as superb as we knew them, mind you Ron Dennis once said that the Honda nsx inspired him to build the McClaren. We owe the British a lot no doubt buy their technology is not close to that of their neighbours- Germany and France.

My brother, the only thing the Germans can boost of in beating the English when it comes to technology is via Karl Benz, father of modern day cars.Nothing else,Even at that,The Germans still failed to build any car to match the Roles Royce.I think you would need to read into Engineering History a bit to appreciate the Uk tech.

peterjero:
I've never had such response like this in a while, you are indeed a matured mind, why I've drawn the conclusion of British engineering been whack is their low reliability rating the world over, Aston Martin(any model from the vanquish through to the vantage) can't even cough where there the slr McClaren is. Though the British are good at modifying, but their whole engineering process is already aging. For an Indian company to own the JLR brand it's crazy.

Thanks for the comment, however the issue of ownership of a brand has to do with the way the world works nowadays, its global, the owners of the highest share percentage becomes the owner.That statement *The British are good at modifying* Is dangerously wrong, that is true of the Chinese and Japanese.

SeverusSnape:
Wait!.... How does this benefit the common man

It means U will soon have pre paid metre by force, so no light no pay, that will force the electric companies to invest more to supply you power for them to make money

Dahkogrin007:
It is quite unfortunate that Nigerians buy all the lies
we r sold.......Where is the power? They sold all the NEPA to
their friends. We pay for the light that was not
supplied.

A Journey of a life time begins with one foot step,

gabicon:
This private investors can't run these companies as a result of decay, debt, and non profitability. FG was surpose to standardise the sector and remove all the Bottleneck's before privatisation or better still grant a time bound licence to investors with tax breaks on importation. I really don't understand why privatisation doesn't work in Nigeria.

Cos of 2much greed, people will kill ur company B4 it takes off

cacmatters:
I am 100% sure that 50% of the companies granted waivers are 70% owned by our ogas at the Top.

even though , its still what we need they are importing. If the waivers where given to you would you have the money to import 1 billion naira worth of equipment?

peterjero:
British engineering is whack, I will go for the BMW m5.

ahah Seriously?dont 4get without British Engineering you wont have Electricity. , this is how you gonna Dis the Land rover Range Rover plus the Aston Martins? Now them ones are wack too?

sinaj:
...true say dat cream designed my back wid eczma tattoo nd made my face whiter dan body...still regrettin

Ok.what did U wanna ask?

SirShymex:
I know the background story. And personally I don't see anything racial about it. I think it has more to do with star power.

However, the racial aspect I'm talking about has to do with: if he had been a black athlete, would he have been able to get away like that? That's what certain critics are saying.

Hmmmm well thhere is room for criticism there.I can also say that if it where a black star would it had gone same way.but least we forget the case of OJ simpsons.

SirShymex:
Er, do you think there's a racial dimension to it, like a lot of critics are saying?

Or is it just the star power?

I dont think there is anything Racial, all parties are white

After months of trial, South African athlete, Oscar Pistorius, has been sentenced to five years in jail for killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Oscar Pistorius

The sentence was for culpable homicide which Pistorius was found guilty of.

The defence called for a house arrest and community service, while the state prosecutor asked the court to impose a minimum of 10 years in prison.

Judge Thokozile Masipa, Tuesday, said any sentence would need to demonstrate a balance between the crime, the criminal and the effect on the society.

She acknowledged that while Pistorius had shown remorse, a very light sentence may send the wrong message to the society, and encourage people aggrieved in the future to take the law into their hands.

“Yes the accused is vulnerable but he also has excellent coping skills. He excelled as a top athlete against big odds even going on to compete against able-bodied people,” the judge said.

Pistorius was also found guilty of negligently handling a firearm that went off in a restaurant in a separate incident.

The judge imposed a three years of fully suspended sentence for that offence.

Steenkamp was shot dead by Pistorius at his Pretoria home on the eve of the 2013 Valentine’s Day. The athlete maintains the shooting was in error as he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder.

The deceased was a 29-year-old law school graduate who turned to modelling before her death.

The state accused Pistorius of lying and pressed for his conviction for murder.

In her earlier ruling, Judge Masipa said there was no evidence supporting premeditated murder, but said Pistorius acted “negligently” when he fired shots through a toilet door in the “belief that there was an intruder”.

Culpable homicide means there was no intention to kill a person, but the actions were negligent.

The paralympian was escorted past a crowd of reporters into the court in South Africa by armed police.

GenBuhari:
Vandalism, the excuse invented by Thief Obasanjo to absolve PDP government of reponsibility.

Why were there n vandals during earlier governments?

Back then we where dependant on Hydro Electricity, we where burning the gas as in Gas Fairing at eh flow station remember? We used just the Dams mainly
Did you even have the right to criticize abcha during his reign?

Frabidel:
For the first time in its history, the iconic Land Rover brand is no longer exclusively 'Made in Britain' but now 'Made in China' too.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has opened its first factory in China and production of a Chinese-made Range Rover Evoque will begin within a few months.
The factory, in Changshu, north of Shanghai, is the consequence of a joint venture with Chinese automobile firm Chery.
Built over two years, the 40,000 square metre site represents a £1.9bn investment plan which JLR hopes will significantly increase its profits.
The opening came as the company acknowledged that its China sales growth this year was 20% up, compared to a 40% figure last year.
Company bosses attribute that to a slightly slower Chinese market and point out that sales in China remain strong.
The Evoque models built in China will not be available to export
Since the Range Rover Evoque was launched, one in five of the cars have been sold to Chinese customers.
China I hail you,welldone! Keep up the good work lol! Frabidel support u daku!
Photos here- http://www.frabidel.com/2014/10/photos-range-rover-evoque-now-made-in.html

The main investors are Chinese hence they seek cheap labour.

nurey:
My Guru's I have come again, I have noticed that at high speeds, some drivers will switch their automatic from D to N on high speeds, my question is this

1. Will doing that damage the transmission

2. Will any fuel be saved coasting in N than coasting in D without depressing the accelerator?

3. If both have different advantage in use I.e one can be used going down hill and one is good like on third mainland bridge with light traffic.

Gurus your enlightenment is needed.

I have one answer to all three questions, NOP,if you check you are meant to be stationary to change the gear selector, doing any of them three has no advantage whatsoever, Its Automatic for a reason as it has the ability to select higher or lower gear as deem fit by speed and motion, coasting also deprives the vehicle of Engine braking. I think we covered this in subsequent post somewhere on the Auto section a year ago.

jpphilips:
You really believe that thing you wrote? Nnaji was sacked for not given up a stake in Geometric power, it has nothing to do with Generator importers, Generator importers don't care about steady electricity, the people who should be scared is the gas station owners.
A generator importer can easily import prepaid meters which is more expensive with higher profit margin than generators, meter is scarce and the market is untapped, meter is smaller than generators so he doesn't need a full warehouse anymore.
They can become vendors for the distribution companies and they will get percentage for selling prepaid cards and collecting bills.

Do you know what a gas pipeline is? do you guys really believe the crap this govt say? who will take such risk? which one is vandalized recently doesn't it have a name? which facility is it supporting? we are Nigerians, we can go to site and check this things out.

By the way, I want Nnaji back, though he is smarter than his employer
Lying bastarrrds!!

No offence, have you been to any of the Flow stations Before the flair was put out and after to see the lines through which gas get channelled and how they get pressurized?I have been to a location where these pipes get vandalized, its blown by plastic Explosives,or mayB you are thinking someone tried to steal gas lol, the aim is to stop power generation noting more nothing less.

jpphilips:
Gas pipeline vandalism? this guy is a clown

Sounds like a Joke abi, but the sad part is This true, people vandalize gas pipelines so we dont get gas to the power stations and then no Power, for various crafty reason,Generator suppliers number one culprit,number two Diesel suppliers the rest nah withces

tom29reloaded:
if vandals are why u are still in darkness then make electricity generation a regional or state affairs. each state should generate power for its citizens. diversify into coal & hydro plants. much more cheaper & reliable. no gas wahala. dis nations leaders & followers lack common sense. no excuse for failure. are u d only curse nation on earth?

Is that not what the resource control was all about and people shouted foul at the Ss states cos of Oil?

yemaldo:
my point is we always enjoy stable power during raining season abi Na lie?

and my point is this has nothing whatsoever to do with Rains

Yemming:
what can you say about the q7 and why will it be your choice...?

Bigger, sporty for the family, interior is wicked,max german,tthird row seat option, something the x6 don't have. lot more I could have said.

yemaldo:
Mr lecturer, u said we generate 90% of our power from gas? pls explain y power is more stable during raining season

Bross you are not Y2k compliant, How many Hydropower Dams can you list that where built in the last 30 years to generate power?

Omimah:
There is no logic in what you said. How does the blocking of Nigeria from buying arms in the US make our buying arms in South Africa? Do you know the terms of agreement? Does a man whose wife denied of sèx have any moral justication for going to a brothel to have sèx with a prostitute?

I never said in the US, I said by the US

NairaMode:
Yeah he has been proven innocent. I have nothing against me.
Adeboye is one of the few people I believe is a man of God in this generation.
If he asks me to make a sacrifice I will and I will completely kneel in front of him for prayers.
I just gave a reply to the topic.

That said, no one can be trusted.
How is your day going bro?

Ok fair enough, Im all good bro, taking the whole day as it comes in my stride. what's happening down ur end

NairaMode:
My response wasn't in reply to the news.
It was in reply to the topic and Adeboyes post sir.

I believe when you are writing certain tests, they ask you to forget all prior knowledge and focus on the passage.
That is what I did here. Most people heard the news you have painstakingly narrated here again.

News however doesn't represent the truth please. You get?

I get ur gist my point is the way and manner and light in which this whole thing is being portrayed. Ayo has already denounced involvement in Arms dealing, should he cry Blood b4 he get let alone outta this, Im not saying all those who call themselves Men of God are saint

MadCow1:
ERM..



Mr, Have you followed the news of the Arms deal?!

Did you hear that the dealer was unlicenced?! Not even in South Africa..

yes I actually did follow the news, in my place of work I would get such news in 5 seconds. The Dealer licence expired and was trying to re register. The Dealer returned the initial monies paid fru bank transfer if you check properly, anyways that's long thing, I'm only question the mentioning of Illegal Arms not the means of acquiring them.

ayukdaboss:
I'm sure Lagos's IPPs are responsible for the supply of power to the whole country? Even when the cluelessness of this government stares you in the face, you still maneuver around and you end up embarrassing yourself.

have you been to sapele?

UchihaMadara:
I need a presidential aspirant out there to assure us that we would make use of the coal we have in this country, I just don't understand why that is so hard to achieve.

Power by fossil fuels is the first thing any Electrical Engineer learns in his Power 101 class. It is really disheartening to see all our "power eggs", so to speak, being placed in one basket; the natural gas basket.

Please take a look at the distribution of energy sources in the U.S:

Also, it's high time the government placed extremely high penalties on vandals. Left to me any vandal caught should serve life imprisonment.

Vandasl should be sentenced to death cos their act can lead to death of innocent people,Now regards Coal, there are loads in Enugu state, what stops the govt in the east to invest in power production or champion the NIPP like we got in the south, everyone wants quick money and no one wanna bell the cat, all these govt in the East four states Anambra, Enugu, Imo and Abia could use the coal they got, everybody relying on Oil since 1800.
