born2fuck: I read laugh and tire, you will understand the different between a case or robbery and a case of yahoo yahoo. The limit when it comes to robbery may end your life instantly or abandoned you in kirikiri without even make court trial. Abeg pray make u no enter police gbeke when it comes to this kind of tin, ur tongue fit make dey dispose U or make dem travel you over night, travel over night means kill dem arm robbers because they will label you as automatic arm robber and you will be in their cells, eat with them, do all with them, if you overdo, guy you are on your own, even by the time dey arrest ur prominent Dad or Mum, na u go say make dem no overdo, remember, not just Nigeria police will handle this case, it will be transfer to SARS in elewe eran or Panti where shooting of criminals with immediate effect means nothing to them

Guy I feel you but like I said it depends on who is talking as per my dad, I don big pass who E dad dey look after,I B Saffi pikin U think U av Bad police in Lagos eh? lol come to Delta and Deal with JTF then you will know the Police are truly your friends .These guys no get Cell, nah straight to Container .Like I said b4, Slippers Get Size

DECOtech: Accident of the year! ...BTW the rule of "give way to traffic on the left" is meant mainly for roundabouts.

Wrong my friend, it applies to every Junction where one has to give way ie T junctions? cross roads? fly overs? Turning into a Lay-by or side street? as you see the list are endless.

PAINGAIN: @op, thank u for this. I am presently going through this, my car overheats anytime I am on the highway/freeway. I have changed d water pump,did engineering on d top,changed d top gasket, had my radiator serviced, I have done basically everything but still d car still overheats. Sometimes water will flow from d radiator and fill up d reservoir. I am confused as to what else could be the cause. Any hints? Thanks in advance.

What kinda cooling fan system do you have? fan driven or motor driven?

tutaboi: Nice one....pls I'm not trying to divert ur topic, but just that this issue has been disturbing me for a while now. I'm using Honda saloon car, when ever my car AC is on and I intend to take a sharp turn or say round and about my engine will go off but if the car AC is off I will make the turn freely without my car engine stoping.
Pls what could be the cause? Thanks

Does it create a sharp squawky noise?, well also try this test, when your car is on and stationary turn your wheel to the extreme end in either direction see if your car goes off and come bck here to give result,.

Bossforeva: No! Asper Overhype

you recon? well as per his Budget, he cant start ordering parts from the states so hence I said stick to the Jap cars, I don't drive a Jap car, Im strictly Eu and US but one has to face reality here .Talking about Boring, have you seen the cars driven in Cuba?

charlesazeh: the ECU in my car had a number on it (MW) but the once i have been changing are GC BA AG...someone said i have o get the exact number MW before it can work fine

Thats where U sentenced ur car to death.quack mechs kmt

Bossforeva: every time camry. Have you thought of how boring this 21st century will be with toyota camry as the only car make?

Asper his budget

CityNG: Even, and especially if there are no speed limit signs, there is no defense to going over the default speed limits.

So just because a driver doesn't see a speed limit on a California freeway that doesn't mean he can go at 100mph. The fastest speed on a California freeway is 55mph unless otherwise stated. Some freeways have 65mph and 70mph speed limits. Big trucks and cars towing trailers are always limited to a maximum speed of 55mph.

Exactly .you kno these guys have them rules written so.ewhere and hidden and not available in the public domain.cos they know in Nigeria U can exploit the ignorant.

saxywale: Abeg, leave UK matter, that tiny island is madly developed.

How we go do nah thats where we live n thats where I learnt to drive.

logica: Ha. Even "abroad" not all roads have speed limit signs. When such a sign cannot be found, you assume the default 30 miles/hr limit (in the US). Same applies to Nigeria.

Not entirly true.if there r no street furnitures and there are street lights you are in a 30mph zone thats what it says in the learners bi le check it.I dnt know of the US though cityNg can clearify that.

lomomike: Try that in Naija and incur more palava courtesy the Nigerian Uniformed Officers (police, Soldier, FRSC, VIO, lastma) way which would make them even exaggerate your case (caselessness into a case if you had none)

Guy I think it depends on who is talking and what car you driving.they term to chat calmly to you when U go straight to the point and know tou right.

CityNG: 1) Yes there is but if you feel that there isn't then that's fine too but there is.

Look at #30 here http://frsc.gov.ng/offences-and-penalties and this https://www.facebook.com/ICanDoRightByNigeria/posts/229166873881840

As usual we have laws, existing laws but enforcement is the issue.

2) Exactly. As it is now, there dis no real penalty now for Nigerian drivers that flaunt laws. I was wrongly accused for running red light in Ibadan and it cost me only N1,000 to get out of it. In the US I would be looking at minimum of $300 (N49,500) in my area.

Exactly .I once got pulled by police on the east west rd going to PH.I had a good old chat with the FRSC boss there.he shiwed me his little tablet.and I disco erd we ha e iffence codes totalling 49 unlike the UK we have 99 traffic offence codes

FrancisTony: Shush! I am not a tribalist. I say the plain truth.

Even if they used it in the west, maybe nah those local schools (no offence )

Last bullet- Privileged kor, Privileged ni.

Brov to use these back in the days was a privilege, cos you need to have extra food and water to put in those, to have one,if you cant afford xtra you wont need one then your throat would be dry during breaks cos then pure water no de exist sef

clementcro: Hi, everybody, I have like 1m, and I want to buy a nissan Maxima 04-06, I have seen toks going for 1.1 and 1.2, I have also seen nigerian used going for 1.150, Now I am confused, which one should I go for?

I am even afraid of Nigerian used based on what a brother of mine has experience on buying nigerian used car.

Advice please

Hmm,I would rather you buy used direct from the USA, that should get you a toyota camry 2001

terryclarks: To me its a waste of time, wat if I exceed d speed limit, wats gonna happen? Imagine am speeding @ d rate of 160 and I was caught @ d act, who is gonna chase me? Aint they the once dats gonna apprehend me. So by that we all av violated d law . Story for d Gods.

I agree, who gonna check how fast you have been and how

CityNG: We don't have those in California but I know that Arizona and New Mexico have them on their major interstate freeways. A friend came to visit me in Texas from California and had a nice ticket waiting for her back at home.

Do you chaps have road blocks routinely performed in the UK by the Police?

ok, Road Block ? The UK is HQ for police block, we have the Car Mounted ANPRs checking for road tax,drugs cars,non insured cars, non MOT cars U name it.But not like your guys over there who will stop every cars, down here you have to be stopped for a reason lol .Oh now we have these new speed cameras that are called variable speed detectors. eg if you are on a 10 mile stretch of road and speed limit is 30MPH, they might av say3 cameras on that rd,the first cam registers ur car the second and third cameras registers and calculate the time it took you from cam 1 to cam 2 if you beat the speed limit then your time would be shorter than the programmed time.These have no markings on the rd nor flashes, just pure ANPR.We have this in TOWER BRIDGE in London.

CityNG: 1) The police here have roving patrols (no road blocks per see unless doing special enforcement like checking for drunk drivers or looking for escaped convicts). So they will use radar to judge your speed as they drive and/or pace your vehicle and/or measure your speed against specially marked lines on the ground from the air.

If a private vehicles is caught speeding and depending on the speed they will issue a ticket which will earn 1 point (I think for California if you get 3 points in a year they take your license). For commercial drivers it's double the points. So the commercial drivers are very careful. They also have special patrols just for trucks. They patrol and set up an inspection area where they pull trucks over and check their logs (truck drivers have a limited amount of driving they can do in a 24 hour period), check their breaks, check the vehicles for safety violations, etc

So private companies will install speed limited on their trucks to reduce speed. New technology now is GPS tracking. The trucking office will get an instant alert when a driver exceeds a certain predetermined speed.

2) Insurance companies will give companies reduce insurance rates for companies that have some sort of program, either speed limited or GPS tracking in place to limit speed. Speed doesn't necessary kill but a speeding vehicle will cause more damage for the insurance company to pick up.

3) Insurance companies will also give reduced rates for companies that show a number that people can call in to report unsafe commercial truck. They take this very seriously by the way and their are 3rd party companies that can be contracted to receive the phone calls.

Hope that answers your question.

Ok same as the uk, however we got the stationary flashing speed cameras, which would give 3 points, and you need 9 points 4 a total band in the UK plus fine.

shevon: You might be right but no mention was made about the age range. It might be a criteria for screening though.

Yeh I suspect so, same as they all do.

CityNG: I like that, self imposed speed limiter

We have the same thing here in the US.

The fear of getting caught by Police, getting a ticket and having my insurance premium go up is my natural speed limiter.

I aint driven in the US, so these speed limiters are they meant to be enforced by the police on both commercial and private vehicles? or just a mechanism to reduce Insurance premium?

Hardheolar: bros u dey okay so? u had better don't say wat u don't know

I nor blame you nah your papa I blame wey dey pay your school fees,half baked pre degree student.Instead of you to make good use of you GB and do research U are here spewing rubbish like OO.I work with AMP Cams plus movement sensored CCTV for traffic Enforcement int eh UK so I know waht I was talking about there as these devices are meant for commercial vehicles at the COy wishes, its not enforceable, just a way of limiting speeds for these trucks and HGVs.What we use here in the west are speed cameras which use Laser Beam technology combined with ANPR Cameras(Automatic Number Plate Recognition)These compares your Plate number to the data base and brings out owners details.Learn more or you will fail in school kmt

hermesprogidy: Must we copy anything we see abroad? We go just dey copy things when we don't have the infrastructure to make it work. I smell fraud in the air.

Not coppied there is nowhere else abroad we have that

shevon: Mortgages do work. You just have to show you have the means to repay. Aside that, you also have to have the prerequisite equity contribution (this is dependent on the mortgage institutions' policy) and that is exactly how this FG programme works.
Choose a property you are interested in, provide your equity contribution and the Mortgage/Financial institution buys the property on your behalf with a dual title hold (the financial institution/your name on the deed pending when the loan is fully paid) and you have 20 years to pay back the loan. If at any point you are not able to continue paying the mortgage, the property is repossessed, sold and the financier liquidates the outstanding on your loan and gives the balance (if any) back to you.

So technicaly if a person above 45 is a no no with this system cos he or she is out of service b4 the 20 years

moyinoluwabun: has it gotten to level of depositing?

Well yout question has been answered yes %20 of thr value of the property..So if the value is N5mmill you deposit N1m.the balance U devide among the years U got remaining in service on average I think it will be 20 years since most people join the civil service in thier 30s

shevon: At the moment, no deposit is required. But once you have been informed that your application is successful, you will have to seek out a house in the choice area you filled in your application, make 20% of the amount required to buy the property available and the mortgage/financial institution assigned to handle you application will buy the property on your behalf.

Pk seen.same system as the Govt help to buy scheem we av in the UK at the moment.Now 20% of howmuch? Did they state the minimum payment time?

trav: Hello House,

Please does anybody have any experience or information about processing Nigerian visa in the UK. Our baby's US passport just came out and we have less than a week to spend in the US before leaving so processing a Nigerian visa or passport in the US is not working for me. We plan to spend a few days in the UK before returning to Nigeria so I think I should just process the visa at the Nigerian High Commission in London. The problem is I am not getting much information from the High Commissions website and they are also not picking calls.

I will appreciate any advise or information regarding how to go about processing a Nigerian visa for our daughter at the Nigerian High Commission in the UK.

Thanks all

U got to be resident of the UK to do that

moyinoluwabun: Nice one. I applied and hope I'm considered. Nigeria moving forward.

Howmuch did U deposit?

anonimi: There is an URGENT need to INCREASE the minimum wage for civil servants from the miserable N18,000 and REDUCE the bogus remuneration of our loafing legisLOOTERS and other political jobbers who do almost nothing of benefit to us.

As U can see even if the wages is increased to N50k minimun.civil servant still wont be able to afford the mortgage cos the houses are going to be more than 5M

shevon: This is a very good news. I applied but was expecting the worse and hoping for the best. I just hope they will not end up doing the usual Nigerian thing of swapping names of applicants for their cronies.

I like to ask U smthing.what %of money whete U asked as deposit?

Now back to reality.howmany of the so called applicants would be abke to affird the daid mortgage.Loads of things comes into play.if you are above 45 years of age would it be a good thi g to apply?
If you earn less than 100k is it wise to apply?
Have you stopped to think if its 100% mortgage or the sum of initial deposit?

icemann: When did HP become the way to measure speed? I taught speed was distance per time.

That Man will die for TOYOTA

Mist100: Am considering buying this car for 400k (Its either a 2000 or 2001 model). I would love your opinions on maintenance. Response please.

tuhorns: Okay. I don't drive anyway.
