CrimeXenophobia: Nigerian Students Give South Africans, MTN, Shoprite, DSTV Ultimatum by excel111(op): 7:40am On Sep 05, 2019
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Wednesday advised South African nationals and their businesses in Nigeria to leave the country on or before Monday or face consequences.

Led by the National Public Relations Officer, NANS, Adeyemi Azeez, the students stormed Lalubu street, Oke Lewo, located within the Central Business District of Abeokuta, the state capital, to protest.

They said companies like MTN, Shoprite, DSTV among others should exit.

“The anger of Nigerians especially our constituency, seems to have gotten to a point of real reaction against South Africans and their businesses in Nigeria”, The Nation quoted him as saying.

“Clearly, our detest of anything that has to do with the South Africans is not unconnected to the spate of killings of our people in their country which has now taken another gear.

“As students we had embarked on mild struggles in the past against this inhuman act of the South Africans but the animals in human flesh have proven to us that, they can only stop if we up our actions against them.

“It is however important to note that it is either they stop the killing of our people or we pursue these evil perpetrators to the gate of hell.

“Going forward, as young people who originally own this country and we would not wait for President Muhammadu Buhari who have refused to take a leadership and decisive position on the menace of the South Africans.

“To this end, we have decided not to attack these disgruntled elements until they defile our instructions which goes does.

“Firstly: All South African businesses must close every kind of business transactions (most especially the Stanbic IBTC) opened at any point with our people in the next 12 hours .

“Secondly: By Thursday morning, All South African business operating in Nigeria must shutdown totally as our comrades have been strategically positioned across the 36 states of the federation to combat stubborn outlets and destroy in totality their goods and properties.

“Thirdly: South Africans living in Nigeria must leave our country latest by Monday morning as we shall confront them with the trailer of Aluta if they refuse to leave by Monday morning.

“Now to Nigerians, we would not want this evil doers to tactically set us against ourselves and to avoid this, we appeal to you to as a matter of urgency, end your transactions with any South African firm in Nigeria such as; withdraw all your money at Stanbic IBTC today (Wednesday) and move your money to other peaceful banks in the country as adherence to this instruction will do a lot of good to our country and as well go a long way in saving the lives of our people in South Africa.

“The president of NANS, Comrade Danielson Bamidele AKPAN has summoned an Extra Ordinary NANS BOT/STAKEHOLDERS Emergency meeting for Friday, where the chain of the resultant actions on these xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa shall be drawn algorithmly. This is not a struggle of NANS alone; it is our collective struggle as Nigerians to stand against this for our brothers and sisters in South Africa.”

CrimeUN sends message to Buhari govt over violence, herdsmen killings in Nigeria by excel111(op): 8:51am On Sep 03, 2019
Ms. Agnes Callamard, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, has called on Buhari Government and the international community to pay special attention to the lingering violence in north-central Nigeria.

“The situation in the north-central appears to be spreading to other parts of the country. There is need for urgent actions to end the violence which is claiming thousands of lives,” Callamard said at a press conference on Monday in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), quotes the UN official as saying that she called the conference to share her findings on “arbitrary deprivations” in the country..

“According to my preliminary findings, Nigeria is a pressure cooker of internal conflicts with issues of poverty and climate change adding to the crisis.

“If the crisis in central Nigeria is ignored, its ripple effects will spread through the-sub region given Nigeria’s important role in the continent. If that happens, the major victim will be the vulnerable populations in the country.”

According to her, the crimes committed in the northeast are not just against the victims and the Nigerian state.

“The crimes are against humanity; accountability must be delivered and the people must be involved and present in those processes.

“The suspected perpetrators – whether they are Boko Haram, other split groups or even security agencies – must also be held accountable,” Callamard added.

She called for trust in the Justice sector, saying that distrust could lead to the proliferation of vigilante groups and cases of jungle justice in the country

Callamard urged government to ensure access to justice for victims of human rights violation, and expressed happiness at the positive signs in the north-east demonstrated by the decrease in the number of killings over the last years.

“I have found some positive signs; for instance, in the north-east, the number of allegations of arbitrary killings or death in custody has decreased over the last two years.

“This evolution needs to be thoroughly assessed to determine the factors and actors that allowed for that positive development.”

She said that Nigeria was currently being confronted by regional and global pressures, saying that the situation could be blamed on population explosion, increased number of people living in poverty, climate change, desertification and the increased proliferation of weapons.

The UN official said that the step taken by the government to consider ranching and increased security in the country was a welcome development.

“Ranching is a long term measure but steps must be taken now and a great deal of discussions and consultations must take place.

“Due to the level of distrust and lack of confidence, more efforts must be placed on finding long-term solutions. There is need for a roadmap that must develop meaningful accountability.

“There must also be a real plan toward ending the excesses of the security agencies,” she said.

She also called for more attention to the herders/farmers conflicts to check its spread, urging government to also look for a shorter immediate solution to the humanitarian crisis enveloping some parts of the country.

PoliticsArmy Loses Three Officers, Gun Trucks In Boko Haram Ambush by excel111(op): 5:32am On Sep 02, 2019

The army has confirmed the loss of three soldiers and gun trucks in an ambush, Friday, in the Monguno-Mairari-Gajiram axis of Borno State.
Troops of Sector 3, Operation Lafiya Dole, on Super Camp Wheels were patrolling along Maiduguri-Monguno road when they encountered the terrorists.

Army spokesman, Col. Sagir Musa, stated yesterday in Maiduguri that the patrol team clashed with the terrorists and engaged them in a heavy fire that neutralised several of them.

According to him, a few of the terrorists escaped with gunshot wounds going by blood trails in the general area.

His words: “The gallant troops also recovered some weapons and equipment from the terrorists. Sadly, during the encounter, three of our gallant soldiers paid the supreme price, while eight others sustained injuries.”

However, the Minister of Defence, Maj-Gen. Bashir Magashi (rtd.), has noted that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered him to end Boko Haram activities in the North East.

He said the order was complemented with a pledge of providing the necessary support for troops of Operation Lafiya Dole.

Magashi disclosed this on Saturday during a dinner with members of Borno Elders Forum (BOEF) at Command Guest House, Maiduguri.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai said the dinner was significant, as they could unlock the solution to the issue of terrorism in the state.

BOEF chairman, Alhaji Asheik Jarma, and secretary, Dr. Bulama Gubio, expressed readiness to support the government and the military to end terrorism in the region.

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has been charged not to view the insecurity bedeviling the country with a political barometer.

Secretary of Conference, Methodist Church Nigeria, Rt. Rev. Michael Akinwale, gave the advice yesterday at the 60th Circuit anniversary thanksgiving service of the Ago-Ijaye Circuit of the Diocese of Lagos Central.

He called for decisive actions against insecurity in the country.

Similarly, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called on the government to be sincere in the war against corruption, which he said fuels insecurity.

Adeboye, who spoke through the Assistant General Overseer, Administration and Personnel, Johnson Odesola, cast aspersions on the sincerity of the present administration in fighting corruption, lamenting that no suspect had been brought to book since the war began.

CelebritiesLagbaja by excel111(op): 12:05am On Aug 31, 2019
Lagbaja (born in Lagos) is a Nigerian Afrobeat musician, singer and songwriter. He was born in 1960 in Lagos state. He is from Odogun’s Compound, Ijagbo Community in Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State. is a Baptist by birth. He is also a Globacom ambassador

Name and mask

According to Lágbájá (pronounced la gba jah), his mask is used as an icon of man's facelessness. Lágbájá is a Yoruba word that means "nobody in particular". It depicts the anonymity of the so-called "common man". The mask and the name symbolize the faceless, the voiceless in the society, particularly in Africa. He is also known as "Omo baba mu'ko mu'ko".

Style of music

Though the concept was developed long before that, his first album (entitled Lagbaja) was released to national acclaim in 1993. Over the years and more albums later, the music continues to fascinate with its unique focus on a core of African drums. His music is a product of various influences ranging from traditional Yoruba music to Jazz. Often the music is purely instrumental- an interplay between traditional Yoruba percussion, drums, chants, western instruments, and especially the saxophone. When there are lyrics, they are primarily sung in Yoruba, English, or a blend of the two as is colloquially spoken in Yoruba cities. Many of his songs dwell on serious social issues, while others simply entertain. Some compositions are introduced with a simple "time to dance", informing the audience of lengthy dance numbers, while other songs address complex social issues through biting wit made palatable by disarming parables, irony, and multilingual puns.

One thing that links all the songs together is his use of traditional African drums. Traditional Yoruba drums are the most prominent. Four families of these drums are employed in creating different grooves and moods. The dundun/gangan family is the most prominent and at times up to five drummers combine all the various components to create the polyrhythms. The bata ensemble is led by two musicians who alternate between soft high toned driving rhythms with their omele bata, and thunderous loud talk with their mum drum- iya ilu. The general percussionist leads the sakara drum ensemble. The fourth family, used as the backbone of the groove is the ogido, a derivative of the ancient gbedu. The ensemble of drummers constitute the larger part of the band. Vocalists and western instrumentalists and make up the rest. Lagbaja's groovy fusion has been referred to as afrojazz, afrobeat, higherlife and afropop until now that he himself has christened the music AFRICANO, alluding mostly to the central role of African drums and grooves in his music.

In March 1997, He established his club, Motherlan’ in the heart of Ikeja in Lagos. Motherlan’s design is influenced by the traditional African town or market square, where people gather under the moonlight for ceremonies and artistic events like dance, music, story telling, wrestling etc.

As such, it was a peaceful protest but has been taken against him as been offensive towards the government, hence his imprisonment.

PoliticsWill The Continued Closure Of Seme-border Solve Nigeria's Importation Problem? by excel111(op): 10:51pm On Aug 30, 2019
The President of Nigeria, Buhari has said that the closure of the seme border is to stop the smuggling of rice and banned items from coming into the country. But on the other hand, this has also brought a serious decline in the foreign exchange reserve which the government wants to boost up for the nation's growth, which obviously cannot be achieved by closing the border.

The Seme border has been closed till date and has resulted to loss of revenue for exporting products that have been put on hold since its closure. It is said that a minimum of 5 trucks from each manufacturers stuck at the borders are worth a weekly loss of $1 million since the closure of the border, and as such operators of these products have been lamenting over this loss for their exporting products.


So how can the locally produced items be transported for exportation if the seme border is being closed without finding a strategic and tactical solution to this problem?

In your opinion, what are the tactical and strategic moves the government can take in other to solve this issue?

TV/MoviesBbnaija: ‘I Spent N1.5m On Votes’ -jackye’s Boyfriend Laments, Calls Out Deloitt by excel111(op): 8:24pm On Aug 28, 2019
Lami, the boyfriend of recently evicted-Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, housemate, Jackye has called out the organizers of the reality show over votes.

Lami, in a post on his Instagram page revealed he personally spent 1.5million naira on votes for Jackye but the ‘votes didn’t count’.

DAILY POST recalls that Jackye was on Sunday evicted from BBNaija reality show alongside Gedoni.

Lami requested the organisers to allow his tech firm carry out an audit of Delloite servers and questioned how much money other housemates spent on voting to get their numbers up.

Alongside a receipt of money spent, he wrote: “Even State and National election votes don’t count in Nigeria. I personally spent 1.5m in my humble capacity and still na voice mail the money enter but na esha bread for where God dey and besides my girl is worth way more than that.

“Makes me wonder how much is been sincerely spent in others camp weekly that shoots their % so high then they must have a chairman in their family and if not then how?

“Watched Big Brother so much I barely had time to cater to myself, my business distracted like say na National Assembly election Jackye dey contest for on top 30m wey my girl wanna win, chaii I don suffer.

“Anyway na wetin the organizers want and Deloitte like dem go show and it was more like they listen to the noise of Twitter now rather than allowing real votes count because I got more verifiable receipts of votes and if they would allow my little David tech team to come audit their giant Goliath severs we may be able to pull a super story headline in another big brother social media handler sarcastic manner.

“Overall to God be the glory because 60m no fit buy the fame and opportunities she has now and that alone we are grateful for even though it comes along with a lot of hate amidst the great love.”

Jobs/VacanciesPotency Of ‘empowerment’ For Economic Growth, Job Creation by excel111(op): 6:53am On Aug 28, 2019
Though empowerment, as a word, has been used by all and sundry at various times, it embodies heavy message that Nigeria and the global community want to see materialise.

In the face of global growth uncertainty, unequal resource endowment and development and poor allocation of public wealth, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries, leading to a rise in inequality and youth unemployment, empowerment has become more meaningful, as well as a strategic lexicon.

Currently, Nigeria’s unemployment figure, according to National Bureau of Statistics, is put at about 23 per cent, a development that has seen a large number of the youth population not being actively engaged in economic activity.

But effective empowerment transcends the giving of alms and involves impactful training and possibly, retraining, creating access to entrepreneurial funds and grants that hitherto were out of the reach of budding talents, with latent ideas wasting in the streets.

The numerous intervention schemes notwithstanding, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has put the existing financing gap in the small business segment of the economy at $158 billion (N48 trillion).

According to the apex bank, the quest for inclusive economic growth and development would remain elusive if the ease of access to finance by this key industry is not given prominence, as its dilemma was already translating to weaker results.

There are more than 17.5 million micro, small and medium enterprises, adjudged vulnerable, despite being the catalyst of the nation’s economic growth, but are faced with the most commonly cited challenge of financing bottlenecks. There is, indeed, need for empowerment.

For Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF) the future of Africa is in the hands of the youth and they can only take hold of that future if empowered.

While the recently concluded 2019 TEF Entrepreneurship Forum was the fifth edition, since 2015, the foundation has committed $100 million to identify, train, mentor and fund 10,000 African entrepreneurs over 10 years.

At the forum, more than 5,000 participants from 54 African countries, including representatives of the 7,521 beneficiaries and 60 speakers across three continents converged at the largest gathering of African entrepreneurs. It had 150 SME owners from 20 African countries that exhibited their products at the UBA Marketplace.

Still at the forum, five African Presidents and thousands of young African entrepreneurs converged at the most influential gathering in the African entrepreneurship ecosystem.

The empowerment discourse centered on job creation and youths and how best to tackle the assessed economic challenge.

There is no gainsay that TEF has been at the forefront of advocating entrepreneurship as the catalyst for the economic transformation of Africa.

The 60 global speakers from the public and private sectors across three continents participated in interactive masterclasses, plenary sessions and debates geared towards generating ideas and defining concrete steps Africa must take to empower its youth and accelerate the continent’s development.

Also, guests interacted directly with young budding entrepreneurs from the 20 African UBA-present countries, who exhibited their innovative products and solutions at the UBA Marketplace.

As the topical issue of empowerment in relation to charting the way forward towards the eradication of poverty in Africa through job creation and support for entrepreneurship was moderated by American journalist, Fareed Zakaria, African leaders in public sector also bared their minds.

Besides, the forum ended with a tour of the UBA Marketplace, where entrepreneurs across the continent exhibited their products, with a pitching competition that saw the winner walk away with $5,000 grant from the United Bank for Africa (UBA).

The Founder of TEF and convener of the forum, Tony Elumelu, reiterated the urgency in creating jobs on the continent to catalyse Africa’s development.

“Extremism is a product of poverty and joblessness. Poverty anywhere is a threat to everyone everywhere. If our leaders understand the reason and rationale for our youths to succeed, they will do everything they can to support them,” he said.

He reiterated the role of technology as a key enabler in accelerating development, citing TEFConnect, the digital networking platform for African entrepreneurs launched by the Foundation in 2018.

“With over 500,000 registered users, the hub provides a platform for entrepreneurs to network and forge business partnerships regardless of their location.

“Life is not just about the riches, but about humanity, touching lives and leaving a good legacy. That is what makes someone happy.

“When I see African youths and what they go through- having grown up in Nigeria and seeing the enthusiasm of the youths, I’m touched. And being able to play a role to see these young ones be happy is what makes me happy and that’s why we are doing this.

“We want to ensure that the narrative is good. We need to give young Africans the opportunities. Train them, create funds for them, mentor them but much more, the enabling environment must be right.

“The truth is we need to do a lot more as a continent. Through TEF, we are showing in our little ways that there’s a way you can help to touch lives and ensure that people are independent. It is all of these that can create a new narrative for Africa that the world can see,” he said.

Giving the keynote speech, Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, said the impact of the Tony Elumelu Foundation was that of a resounding empowerment across the continent.

“By birthing this particular intervention, Tony Elumelu, has compelled us to focus on what really matters, our youth and their dreams. The message to Africa’s emerging business giants is a clear one: How and what can you contribute, like Tony Elumelu, to empowering the next generation, helping them to realize their own dreams?”, he said.

But the Chief Executive Officer of UBA, Kennedy Uzoka, said the financial institution was committed to bridging the funding gaps affecting SME’s sector in Africa, especially as TEF vision aligns with the bank’s goal.

“We bank a lot of customers across the geographies, but we have discovered that there is a gap, which an enterprise like UBA should cover and that gap is how to bring the buyer and the seller, people who want to exchange goods, not significantly different from what Ali Baba has done, but UBA is taking charge now by bringing the customers together.

“We are trying also to give back to the economy where we we get money from and you know we have UBA foundation, through which we support education, enterprise and of course environment because we believe that we should give out,” he said.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) endorsed TEF initiative, saying that the entrepreneurship programme aligns with the goals of the bank, under its “Jobs for Youth in Africa Strategy”, aimed at supporting African countries to create 25 million jobs and empower 50 million young people by 2025.

“We are increasingly working with initiatives that boost entrepreneurship on the continent. The Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Programme is one of the key entrepreneurship initiatives on the continent, which the Bank seeks to collaborate with,” the bank’s President, Akinwunmi Adesina, said.

Legal icon and founder of Afe Babalola University(ABUAD), Chief Afe Babalola, says the current Nigerian constitution is inadequate to solve the myriads of problems confronting the country.



Afe Babalola
He spoke on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti during his conferment with the Africa Role Model and AU Agenda 2063 Ambassadorial Award by the African Union.



Babalola said the 1999 constitution was antithetical to the development and progress of the country considering the loopholes inherent in its operational legal framework.

He said it would be an herculean task for any leader to succeed in making spectacular accomplishments with the 1999 Constitution.

Accordingto him, the constitution is not suitable for the peculiar nature of the country.

He said unless bold steps were taken to change the constitution, many developmental efforts may end in futility.

Babalola described as irregular the description of the current constitution as ” federal,” saying it remained unitary in all ramifications.

He urged President Muhammadu Buhari to convene a Sovereign National Conference with membership elected based on zero party system to design a new people-oriented constitution.

Babalola said the award given to him was a good omen to millions of Nigerians and Africa.

“It is a tragedy that Africa today is bereft of transformational leaders such as Ghandi, Kwame Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Nelson Mandella and Ahmadu Bello

“For Africa to move forward, we need transformational leaders and not operators of 1999 Constitution.

” The renaissance has started in ABUAD. ABUAD is the clear leader in reformation of education. We have succeeded in nine years to transform education in the country,” he said.

The African Union ECOSOCC Nigeria Representative, Dr Tunji Asaolu, said Babalola’s contribution to human capital development was worthy of commendation and emulation.

Asaolu said the continental award was conferred on the legal icon based on his legendary impact in all spheres of human life to the benefit of Africa.

According to him, Babalola is a continental role model whose work and activities are serving as veritable implementation platforms.

Also speaking at the ceremony, Gov. Kayode Fayemi described Babalola as a pride to Ekiti and entire black race, saying his developmental impact in Ekiti, Nigeria and Africa was enormous. (NAN).

Labour and Employment minister, Chris Ngige, made this disclosre at the weekend, when members of the Federal Secretariat branch of the association, led by their chairman, Desmond Obiagwu, paid him a courtesy visit.

NAN reports that Ngige commended the vendors for being good citizens by choosing to earn a decent living through newspaper vending, instead of engaging in criminal activities.

He expressed government’s desire to encourage them in their efforts, stating that government would enroll some of their members into the N-Power programme, a platform where Nigerians could access skills acquisition for development.

According to him, the vendors are also helping government through their work.

“Your association has helped the labour ministry because newspaper marketing is part of information dissemination.

“Through your activity, we get information on brewing labour unrest, and try to nip them in the bud through conciliatory meetings.”

CrimeMaid Steals N1.6m From Boss Six Hours After Employment by excel111(op): 2:13pm On Aug 24, 2019
A 26-year-old housemaid, Franker Amaha, has stunned her boss after she fled with foreign currencies estimated at N1.6m six hours into her employment.
The woman identified simply as Mrs Taiye of Masha area, Surulere, Lagos State, had engaged Amaha, whom she knew as Esther, on July 25, 2019 through an agent in Ikorodu.

City Round learnt that two hours after they arrived home, they left for the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, to pick up Taiye’s sister, who just returned from abroad.

On getting home, Amaha reportedly sneaked into where her boss’ sister put her luggage, stole the hard currencies – $2800, £1,000 and 2000 Dutch Guilder – and fled.

It was gathered that efforts by the woman to locate Amaha proved abortive as she switched off her phones.

Taiye realised she was in for a complex matter when checks at the form she submitted with the agent revealed her home address and her guarantor’s as fake.

The case, initially reported at the Surulere Police Station, was later referred to the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team and a manhunt was launched for the suspect.

The detectives eventually trailed Amaha to her friend’s house in the Ajah area of Lagos State and apprehended her.

A police source said investigation revealed that the suspect carefully planned the crime.

He said, “The suspect went to the agent on July 24 and the agent asked that she should fill a form and get a guarantor. Because she has a plan, she filled the form with a fake name and attached a fake passport photograph to the form.

“She identified herself as Esther whereas she is Franker (Amaha). On July 25, she was taken to the house of one Mrs Taiye, at Masha, Surulere, to work as a home help and offered to be paid N20,000.

“Incidentally, a sister of her new boss returned from abroad on that same day. She followed her new boss to the airport to pick up her sister. When they got home, she entered into the room where her boss’ sister’s bags were kept.

“She opened one of the bags and stole all the foreign currencies therein, including $2,800, £1,000 and 200 Dutch Guilder. She left the house instantly. While the security man at the gate tried to stop her, she told him that she had problems with the madam. While the guard was trying to confirm from the woman, she took a motorcycle. She ran to Ajah to meet one of her friends and threw away her SIM cards.”

In an interview with City Round during the week, Amaha said she stole the money to treat her sick mother.

The indigene of Cross River State said she approached one Mr Frank, a job agent, and Frank in turn led her to one Ade who linked her to Taiye.

She explained, “I gave her a fake name and address because I have the intention of stealing from her. I got to her house around noon and we went to the airport around 3:30pm to pick her sister. I opened her (sister’s) bag and took money from it.

“I stole six $100 notes, five pieces of £20, five pieces of $20 and £100. I changed $100 and made my hair with it and bought a pair of sleepers. I changed the remaining money to naira and deposited it into my account. I stole her money because I got a call from my village that my mother was sick. Please help me beg her to forgive me.”

IghoCentric:
Try this... turn on ur car, then remove negative battery cable... if the car dies then ur alternator isnt charging the battery well enough.... ur alternators produce AC volts that is converted to DC volts by 6 diodes if those diodes are bad then ur alt will produce more Ac volts and less DC which wont be enough to power the car elecs... so u will ve a case of not enough charge...

Another thing that can cause this is a loose belt, where the belt isnt transferring enough power to the alt pulley to spin the rotor fast enough so u ve low output too...

My advice.. check the belt first, it should be tight, firm and straight across all pulleys... check the belt tensioner... a weak tensioner can cause the belt bounce as it spins..

Get a voltmeter.. while the engine is running chevk the battery volts.. u shud ve btw 13V-15V... anything less or more is too little or too much

If these two things are ok then u ve bad wiring problem where one item turns on another(short circuit) and causes an amps overload but that should blow a fuse unless kamoru has replaced ur fuse with thick copper wire..

Las las ur problem is within those 3 places... dont get scammed into buying new batt.. the pry job of car battery is to crank engine after that alternator takes over.. if ur batt can start the engine the battery is good
Boss God bless una...I will explain the way u explained for me for car electrician (car rewirer). Thanks God bless u sir

Jk, you probably have a wiring issue. Get an electrician to check it out, something may be shorting.
