Car TalkRe: Does My Car Have Good Or Bad Fuel Economy? by Formidable1(op): 8:44pm On Mar 18, 2017
Coolgent:
How many Kilometres from Onitsha to Awka?
With AC on or off?.
I nrmly get 80km per 10ltrs (city drivig with AC)
100km per 10ltrs (with AC on)
Honda accord 2.4 ivtec 2003 model.
Odometer 115000
So sorry sir for the late reply. I've been busy , so I was offline since then.

Anyway, from Awka to Onitsha and then back again is about 90km total.
And I don't use A/C.

So I guess, following the calculation for your Honda car, I think my car consumes more fuel. sad
Car TalkDoes My Car Have Good Or Bad Fuel Economy? by Formidable1(op): 1:33pm On Mar 03, 2017
I own a Mazda Premacy 2001 model. But I feel it consumes a lot of fuel. I usually shuttle to Onitsha from Awka sometimes. I'd say that on average my car consumes about 10-11 litres from Awka to Onitsha and back to Awka again. Or in other words, it costs me 2k worth of fuel to make such journeys. So does it have good fuel economy or not?

What are the criteria for judging whether a car has a good or bad fuel economy? What is the appropriate litre/kilometre ratio for such assessment?
Thanks.

BusinessRe: Nigeria Exempted As OPEC Agrees To Cut Production; Oil Prices Surge by Formidable1(op): 10:50pm On Sep 28, 2016

BusinessNigeria Exempted As OPEC Agrees To Cut Production; Oil Prices Surge by Formidable1(op): 10:28pm On Sep 28, 2016
This is hopefully good news for Nigeria's oil industry which sets to gain in the oil market as OPEC is finally agreeing to cut oil production.

It would be the first time in eight years that the oil cartel would lower output. The agreement was reached on Wednesday at a meeting in Algiers.

Oil prices surged more than 5% in reaction.

A global glut of oil supply caused oil prices to crash over the last two years. And OPEC nations, led by Saudi Arabia, have refused to lower production until now.

Under the agreement, OPEC oil production is expected to be reduced to 32.5 million barrels of oil per day from 33.4 million. Saudi Arabia, the largest oil producer, is expected to give up 350,000 barrels a day, according to a senior OPEC source quoting the final proposal. Other OPEC nations are expected to lower production too, though more details were not immediately clear.

Three countries are exempted from the production cuts: Iran, Nigeria and Libya. Economic sanctions were lifted on Iran earlier this year, and Libya and Nigeria have had some of their oil facilities damaged by terrorist attacks in recent months.
Oil prices were as high as $100 a barrel in mid-2014. But the global oversupply caused prices to plunge to as low as $26 a barrel in February. The volatility in oil caused stock markets to dive at the beginning of 2016.

In recent months, oil prices have rebounded a bit and oil is currently hovering near $47 a barrel.

They disguises and hide under Islam to do all these barbaric act.You can't judge a religion coz of bad deeds of it fake followers, it is wrong. You wanted to tell me that Ritualist,fake miracle nd pastor collection tithe to enrich himself nd their church members battle with poverty and pastor sleeping with their church members is wat Bible endorsed,u will only say fake pastor but u wnt attack or saying trash about Christianity.It is the same things here in Islam,even if they do worst with the present of Quran with them (terrorist), is far from wat Islam says.......

Anz this question pls,why does Muslim dominated countries under insurgency?? Shebi u all claim that all terrorist are Muslim, why does claimed Muslim (terrorist) has been launched their attacks in a country where 80% of their citizens are Muslim....

It is on record that terrorist has killed more Muslim than people from other religion even here in Nigeria co their attacks has been majorly in the north (Muslim territory)...

Muslims has nothing to do with terrorist.They will revised a verses in Quran and beheaded a fellow Muslim nd u claimed they are Muslim.

[/b]
OK, but have you ever wondered why Islamic terrorism gets worse everyday? It is because the prominent Muslims keep silent. Many of these perpetrators of evil don't know what is contained in the Quran or Hadith...they only know what the Imams teach them. How many times have you heard a well-known Imam come out openly to condemn the actions of those whom you claim are tainting the image of Islam? Rarely. If powerful Muslims can unite, have a conference or form a coalition to combat those who are tainting the image of Islam, I think things wouldn't be as bad as it is currently. But nobody speaks out. They only condemn the actions in the quietness of their rooms, and behind the safety of their keyboards.

if they are not Muslims, what are they? I have seen countless videos(I am sure you have too) of where men recite verses in the Koran they are holding.. then proceed to behead their captive...we've had witnesses of people shouting "Allah Akbar" before detonating the bombs stalled to their bodies.. are you saying all these people from Bornu to Iraq are just working together for the sole purpose of tarnishing Islam? what about the people who killed a female Christian for preaching her God? what about the people who killed their neighbours in northern Nigeria just because a cartoonist in Denmark mocked Muhammad? you mean all these people are in one big conspiracy to tarnish Islam? I doubt it..
@anigbojumo, I'm waiting for your constructive reply to @sarutobie's post. I'm really not happy with the wanton killing of people in the name of blasphemy against a religion. Mind you sir, Christians do not tolerate blasphemy against Jesus, however they do not resort to killing to prove their point. They regard life as a very precious gift from God, which should never be taken, even for the reason of the 'an-eye-for-an-eye' principle. As a matter of fact, the bible warns Christians to forgive their offenders 70x7 times. So let's objectively reason together here.

If the christians accept blasphemy, the muslims dont accept it, so if u want peace u can insult the Holy Prophet but dont be identified in person.
I mean, how do you feel when you look into the eyes of a person and snuff his life out, not because he "did" a wrong to you or ur family, but just because he "said" something against a person you haven't seen or known personally? I mean, I must be sick or psychologically troubled to feel nothing when I take out a human life which I never created in the first place just because my religion says so.

Oh you intellentual, conderming one religion due to your lack of knowledge about the deen I.e Islam is highly bad that is why Nigeria and Nigerian are not progressive naturally, mere you seeing people reacting badly or worse in the course of defending their proclaimed religion in a wrong detesting manners instend of you to blame the person you attack the religion first due to the hatred you have towards the deen I.e Islam, when a non-muslims kill, rape, formicate, dupe, murder, commit arson e.t.c you attack the person without conderming his or her religion but if a person who claimed to be a muslim does that you neglect the person and you begin to attack ISLAM, and islam never preaches violence. If you want to cure yourself from this hatred, ignorant you find youself take up an english QURAN and HADITH, then read them you will know why islam is the religion of peace and not the way gullible people are practising it due to their whims. A lot of people have been embracing islam throughout the world including USA and the wordsof God shall prevail. I leave you with this, in islam there is no seperation, superior or level of rank between one prophet to another they are all great servant and Messanger of your lord(God) whether you like or nor ranging form Prophet Musa,z(Moses), Isa(Jesus) and Muhammed. Watch your tongue and save yourself from ignorant.
You don't get it, do you? The problem is not actually about killing or committing any crime, but killing because of a religion. How many non-muslims have you seen or heard committing crimes in revenge for blasphemy against their religion? It is absurd when people put religion first before dignity of human life.

And you think you really know what is contained in the QURqN and HADITH? I can cite myriads of verses in those texts that prescribe violence to musllms as the only way to attain eternal pleasure.

MKO4ever:
I think these verses of the bible explain boko haram's ideology better

(Numbers 31:17-18)--"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. 18But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves."

or perhaps Deuteronomy 7:16 And you shall consume all the peoples that the LORD your God will give over to you. Your eye shall not pity them, neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.

or same Deuteronomy 20:16 However, you must not let any living thing survive among the cities of these people the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Personally, I think there are more references to Bokoharam's ideology in the bible than they are in the Quran
"The famous concept of Islamic Jihad is legitimized by 164 verses of the Quran which explicitly detail how Muslim men should punish their enemy, and how to divide the spoils of war. Even today, Islamic suicide bombers and the Mujahideen (those engaged in Jihad) invariably recite and publicly carry their own personal copy of the Quran to justify their atrocities. Despite mendacious “moderate” Muslims desperately wriggling in their seats trying dismiss Jihad as a perversion of Islam, the brutal fact is that all Quranic verses are perpetual, and call for all Muslims to continue to expansion of the faith.

And, unlike the bible’s ‘descriptive’ accounts of violence and wars (of which were ordained only for a certain period), the Quran’s ‘prescriptive’ revelations are considered eternal and the foundation of Islamic jurisprudence and Shariah law. Hence why we will never witness a permanent ceasefire or worldwide peace with any Islamic country as there are no verses in the Quran to abrogate Islamic Jihad, and call for mutual respect between Muslim and unbeliever."

If you're a Christian: Don't you believe in Allah aka God and also the last day aka Judgment day?

What is it that has been forbidden in the Qur'an that non Muslims or Christians are involved in these days? Or rather what is it that Allah aka God forbids that you do?

In the next verse, Allah aka God specifically said he will punish those who errs personally. Was it stated there that anybody should punish such people except Allah?

In the two verses you quoted, the first one was directed to Muhammad directly because there were many unbelievers which are authentic idolaters and will want to kill Muhammad for bringing Islamic faith to them. History will prove my point.

Muhammad never fought any Catholic in history, he fought no Jew: those were the two dominant religious sects before Muhammad started his message. He only fought with those idolaters who won't want to see him, who drove him out of Mecca: Islamic center for pilgrimage. All these were the commands of Allah aka God in the Qur'an. Boko haram, Isis, Al Qaeda, Al shabab e.t.c have no such place as mecca to fight for again, so they're on their own selfish and political interest.

BTW those terrorists group I mentioned above are all Sunnis: The sects that believe the Hadith more than the Qur'an. Wikipedia is your friend.
OK, guy. I'm kinda busy right now to back up my facts, but I wish other folks will understand Islam the way you do, and accommodate other religions.

All those Arabic words you hear him using on media are either from the Hadith or he's just using Arab in communication. I can bet you he hasn't opened the Qur'an in weeks. He opens the Hadith more frequent.
It is the Hadith that contains the traditions of Islam. You would not understand the Quran without the Hadith.

By the way, here are the words of the Quran itself:

InvestmentWhat Are Your Experiences With The CAPMI Prepaid Meter Scheme?? by Formidable1(op): 8:00pm On Jul 11, 2016
I had to obtain the application form for the Credited Advance Payment for Metering Implementation (CAPMI) Scheme. It is for the acquisition of a prepaid meter for my flat.

But I am skeptical about it, especially with regards to the Affidavit containing the terms and conditions and indemnity clauses. Anyway, I intend to see my caretaker lawyer to fully understand them before I go to court to swear the affidavit, but I'm more concerned about what I'm going to expect by the time I get the meter.

So dear Nairalanders here whom have obtained their prepaid meters via this scheme, plz how has it been esp in terms of payments and charges? What has been your experience so far, so I'd know whether I should subscribe to this or just continue using the estimated billing system?

Mods plz move this topic to the right forum.

Education30 Things You’d Better Do Before 50 by Formidable1(op): 8:12pm On Jun 20, 2016
Our life is like a puzzle, until the whole puzzle is fixed together, you cannot get the true picture. Everyone lives once only. Though all of us have plenty of dreams and goals, it usually ends up with nothing done. And a number of us end up just fulfilling what others want, but not what we truly enjoy. 50 is a critical age that we’re only left with half of the time, if we’re fortunate enough to live to 100. So why not do what you want and what can make you happy as soon as possible?

Here are 30 inspiring things that worth a try before you turn 50.

1. Make something from scratch. It feels amazing to create something beautiful by yourself.

2. Find a phrase or quote that moves you and make it your personal mantra. Say it to yourself every day whenever you feel stressed or nervous.

3. Conquer a fear that you have struggled with for a long time. Fear only holds you back!

4. Treat yourself to something you really want, like a pair of expensive shoes. It is okay once in a while – you deserve to own something that makes you feel happy!

5. Send your parents flowers and tell them that you love them.

6. Write a letter to your partner or child to tell them how much you love and care for them. Everyone deserves to feel loved sometimes, and they will keep the letter for years to come.

7. Visit all of your country’s historical landmarks. It will help you to learn more about your country, and you will be inspired by the beautiful things you see.

8. Apply for your dream job. You never know what will happen!

9. Go without technology for a week. You will enjoy a very peaceful and tranquil week.

10. Do something that you may regret later. Sometimes the best things happen when we decide to take a risk.

11. Spend a night camping under the stars.

12. Live somewhere that is totally different to your home town. This will broaden your horizons and help you to understand alternative perspectives.

13. Quit a bad habit, e.g. eating too much at a time.

14. Email your hero to let them know how much they mean to you. Even if they never read it, you will feel better for writing it.

15. Make a fool of yourself without feeling embarrassed.

16. Go for a picnic on your own. You’ll learn to enjoy yourself.

17. Read jokes and laugh until your ribs hurt.

18. Learn something you’ve never imagined before.

19. Forgive yourself, for what you’ve regretted doing.

20. Forgive someone from your past. Holding on to bitterness is like buying poison and taking it yourself, so forgive them – even if it is only for your benefit.

21. Cut out any toxic friends you have. They will never change, and you don’t need that negativity.

22. Go on holiday with your best friends. Even if it is just one night away in the country it will be memorable, hilarious and fun.

23. Travel by yourself. You can spend the day doing exactly what you want, and you will fall in love with being alone all over again.

24. Forgive your parents for any mistakes they made while raising you. No-one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.

25. Read the books that everyone is always talking about.

26. Go out for a meal by yourself. Wear an outfit you love, order your favorite meal and leave whenever you are ready – bliss.

27. Volunteer for a good cause that is close to your heart.

28. Watch your favorite movie once again.

29. Watch the sunset. It may be a cliché, but it really is beautiful and awe-inspiring.

30. Learn a foreign language. It will make traveling easier, and it will expand your world perspective.
