Oh... Okay sir. I don't know Ibusa or Coker. But I will see what I can do.

By the way, the Fouani showroom I wanted to patronize dey inside Asaba ShopRite.

Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by GabrielYulaw(m): 1:42am On Apr 16
remi4ever:
Hello guys. I noticed that my car's horn were changed, but this new born has no port for the socket so the wires from each socket was tapped and passed to the horn.

My issue now is if I plug in a fuse to the horn fuse, my dash light comes on.

If I remove the horn relay the horn doesn't work.

I think this issue is why I have a p0685 code. I do not like seeing the check engine light and this is the only code I have. Meanwhile, the horn works perfectly and my car has no issue whatsoever.

But the horn works without the fuse and plugging in the fuse turns on the dash light. This is a wrong behaviour.

I have attached an image.

Cant you use keke? If you can buy a tv set worth more than 200K, what about budgeting 10K for transport?

Keke? I am buying from the showroom in Asaba and going to a neighboring state. What I wanna know is if it is best to ask Fouani to deliver am for me or if I should just hire a car at Asaba Shoprite.

If you purchased the AC online, then you were not dealing with fouani.

Have you heard about africa for africa?

Those are items produced substandard to sell in poor africa countries. Those items cannot be accepted in europe or America but would find their way into africa because of greed and corruption which is why you find SON and Nafdac number on rizzlers but police would arrest and detain you if rizzler is found in your possession.

I went to buy LG tv and 2 types were brought to me; one in white cartoon, the other in brown cartoon and they were not same price; one was africa for africa and the other was fouani.

Pls dont buy electronics online unless you want africa for africa...

If you didnot purchase the AC from fouani showroom but online, fouani was no moral right to change the AC for you. Fouani has showrooms for this reason.

Hello! Abeg I wan buy LG UR73 50 inches in a couple months or so.

See, I wan buy am for Fouani showroom, But I don't have car to take it from the showroom to my place. If go there and make a purchase, can I ask Fouani to ship it to me and they will not swap it for Africa quality nonsense? Or should I make arrangements to ship the thing the same day I buy am?

Crime / Re: U.S., Others Offer To Assist In Combating Kidnapping by GabrielYulaw(m): 12:46pm On Mar 16
Jakumo:
The Nigerian government should formally inaugurate a mutually beneficial surveillance drone agreement with the USA similar to the one in place for the nation of Niger, where a couple of landing strips have been made available for US drone fleets to launch search-and-destroy sorties against Islamic terror gangs roaming the hinterland.

With US drones plying Nigeria's unfriendly skies day and night, kidnapping gangs will be detected and neutralized so quickly that the current wave of abductions ravaging Nigeria will rapidly attenuate down from a tempestuous flood to a trickle, thanks to the eye in the sky directing the bear in the air that can then roll in to bombard kidnap crews with surgical precision, leaving their victims unscratched.

Lol. Oga mi, you are looking at the issue wrongly. Very wrongly.

The elites do not worry about kidnapping. Why should they when they got escorts and the military to protect them? You haven't heard of IBD Dende, who's pals with Tinubu and who's also a top smuggler who regularly ships arms, food, drugs and bikes to bandits and terr0rists in the north and elsewhere? And how many more IBD Dende do we not know of?
Hope you also know that top cust0ms officials are smugglers themselves. What about the cover that the Nigerian security forces regularly gives bandits and murderous Fulani herdsmen? These herdsmen can come to your farm and cut you up, r@pe or k1ll you when you protest and will it take a US drone landing strip to solve that issue? Worst is that these herdsmen are in most cases not even Nigerian.

Fact is, if the government wants the kidnapping and banditry issue to stop, it won't take up to a month for that to happen. But why should they when they are busy benefiting from it both financially and otherwise. No be the most insecurity ravaged areas where no one voted and INEC no dare step foot that APC said they won? Imagine how much is made by the military by padding budgets meant for arms purchase to fight boko haram, how much they make from illegal taxes in boko haram-ravaged areas and stuff like that.

If I remember correctly, a few years back, the military bought third-hand T-72s from a contractor for a couple million USD apiece, with the contractor having paid around $85K apiece for them tanks. And what about the case of a top general who asked a squad to transport around 700 million naira and they stole it, threw away their sim cards and ran away. Buratai's Dubai apartments nko?

As we speak, the national assembly is voting 181 million per streetlight, abi borehole. Imagine if this country is serious what it can do. The kind of money being wasted and stolen here is just incomprehensible and even more incomprehensible is that like 99% of the people doing the stealing are already incomprehensibly rich via virtue of their looting the public treasury. They are still stealing not because they need the money, but because it's their default setting.

Crime / Re: Court Orders Forfeiture Of 36 Cars Stolen From Canada by GabrielYulaw(m): 11:23pm On Mar 11
Jakumo:


The story about some random white guy openly displaying a pistol with police present in Nigeria is fabricated from start to finish because ONLY the Nigerian head of state can grant a handgun permit for any civilian, and El Presidente does NOT grant handgun permits to foreign nationals visiting or working in Nigeria.

It's actually an old story that I first heard around the mid 90s. In the story, the white man had his car stolen, saw the car somewhere else and wanted to prove it was his. So as a crowd gathered, he entered the car and used a key to start it, with the car starting smoothly. He then got out and the thief used another key to start the car, with the car starting and running roughly.
Then the white man said he's not interested in the car, goes inside of it again, brings out some gold in a hidden part and dashes the car to the thief.

Variants of this story used to be very popular in Igboland.

Foreign Affairs / Re: US Sends Ship To Build Temporary Seaport In Gaza(photos) by GabrielYulaw(m): 3:09am On Mar 11
Jakumo:


When Palestinian women and children lined their ghetto streets to jeer and celebrate the abduction, torture, and murder of Israeli civilian women, children, and elderly people, I knew as a matter of absolute certainty that the place called Gaza was about to be erased from the world map with military dispatch, along with most of the bloodthirsty terrorist supporters hiding there like nasty little rats and cockroaches in underground tunnels.

As a world citizen who has no personal friends from Israel, and will likely never set foot in any Middle Eastern country for the balance of my life, I nonetheless recognized and was appalled by the scale, scope, and depravity of the massacre perpetrated by the Hamas monkeys on Israeli soil on October 7th, 2023, during which Hamas abduction and murder squads specifically targeted civilian residences.

With those sobering thoughts in mind, I feel nothing at all by way of emotion, as I watch the Israeli IDF forces uniting Hamas chimpanzees with their 72 virgin allocations, and even going to the extent of strafing Gaza's hungry Hamas fans on the beach as they scrambled for free airdrops of food, only to be blown to pieces by drones loitering above. Serves those muggugs right, and one can only hope their bedroom tackle is sufficiently intact to enjoy those 72 virgins in the imaginary paradise that is their final stop with Israel's expert assistance.

Oga mi, I no expect this kind of talk from you. For all of Israel's imagined expertise, they cannot survive a month without the direct assistance of their vassal state- the US. Should the US cut off arms shipment, Israel would collapse inside of a month and then probably activate its Samson Option. The "most skilled army in the middle east" is being toyed with my a few thousand fellas with homemade weapons and balls the size of basketballs who sneak up to tanks to drop explosives. As of now, Israel has not achieved any of its war aims in 5 months of war and has settled on the mass mvrder of civilians by bombs, sniping and starvation.

This war and kill1ng no start in October last year. It started when the Jews decided that they deserved a home in Palestine and the people who lived there at the time could go fvck themselves. And here we are and you are celebrating the mass mvrder of starving and desperate civilians on a beach by drones and tank fire as they wait for aid. You are celebrating the k1lling of entire families and lineages, the mass abduction, sexual and physical assault of civilians, the sniping of grandmothers, the b00by-trapping of food packages, the bombing and destruction of essentially all hospitals, schools, universities, museums and more and the torturing of UN personnel. Hope you know the whole 40 behe@ded babies thing and mass sexual assault by Hamas on October 7 was a hoax and that there are actual thousands of Palestinians who have been sexvally assaulted by Isreali forces both now and in the past. Just today, the army you are praising went to Jenin and kidnapped a 7 year old and no that's not an uncommon practice. I could go on and on, but the fact is that you cannot condemn slaves for staging a revolt and you would probably condemn what Israel was doing if it was the Nigerian army or Russian army doing it.

35k plus civilians have died, half of them women and kids, and you are here talking like Zionist fanboys who fill Telegram and Twitter with the vilest of hateful narratives I have ever seen outside of TheYNC comment section. I really am amazed, and the world keeps making less and less sense.

Technology Market / Re: Please Don’t Buy The MTN Lumos Solar System Until You Read My Review by GabrielYulaw(m): 3:21pm On Feb 27
Quietgem:
MTN lumos system is a very wack system. I got the system in January 2018 and paid judiciously for about 2yrs until I relocated to where I had better electricity, following which i subscribed sparingly despite the outrageous increase in monthly subscription which was not part of the initial T&C's. The power adaptor got bad later and I ignored the system since I could not get it.
Just got a message frm MTN lumos that despite several attempts to contact me, so I can return the yellow box proved abortive, that I have been handed over to a third party debt collector to pay the sum of 245,000 naira. Imagine this big clowns and fools. I know they have a tracker to the system, but I am going to send the rubbish box to my village shrine. Bullshit.

Got the same debt collector message last year. I stopped using the system in 2018 cos I relocated and it no longer made sense. These days, I use MPS from Cooldipo and it's what I should have gotten from the get-go.

Haven't touched the Yellow Box since 2018. But when LUMOS started sending me threatening messages, I went to return it and was told that because the solar panel had cracked, I had to pay a fine of 40k. I vex carry the stuff back home.

Worth noting is that when I stopped using the system in 2018, the Yellow Box and the solar panel were in excellent shape. I would have immediately returned the whole thing to where I got it, but was repeatedly told -by friends and family- that I would be arrested and charged if I did because I had not completed the hire purchase terms. Repeatedly searched online then and now on how to return the system and got nada. And the guy at the MTN Lumos place told me that info on how to return the system when you no longer want it is made intentionally scarce. If I had known I could return the system without consequences, I would have immediately done so in 2018.

It's now they want to bill me via debt collector.

No, bro! I saw it being used at a furniture store, and was blown away by its effectiveness. So I ordered for one, a 300ml of diffuser fragrance and the rest is history! It’s best to use the device in a spacious apartment as the fragrance can be overwhelming for some people when used in a small apartment. For a self contained apartment or room-and-parlour, it’s best to use the small one. See pic below.

NAF SET TO INDUCT THE T-129 COMBAT HELICOPTERS

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to induct its newly acquired T-129 ATAK helicopters and King Air 360i aircraft on 6 February 2024 at the NAF Base, Makurdi, Benue State. The induction ceremony will be performed by the Special Guest of Honour, the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, to be represented by the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON.

The event no doubt signifies a major boost to Nigeria’s national defense capability under the current dispensation. Specifically, the new platforms would enhance NAF's firepower as it jointly confronts the various security challenges in the country, alongside sister services and other security agencies.

It's just like wanting to spend time with a hookup girl when you don't have shi-shi.

Simply put,
The absence of the ability to pursue an aspiration spells lack of capacity by default.

And that's why Nigeria can never get better because why will I throw away my 30million just because I want to serve my people and remedy the state's situation except I am sure I'd be reaping it back in untold folds?

That also is common sense.

The nda was attacked as you say. Same bandits have on a few occasions attacked military bases. And your panacea is for Nigerians not to bear arms and depend on the security agencies that clearly can't even defend themselves.

What I was saying that the vast majority of bandit attacks were on unarmed civilians. Since the military and our security agencies can't protect itself, it should let the citizenry protect themselves.

Owning a gun doesn't translate to expertise in wielding it. Talk less to use for self defence.

Furthermore we have seen how ruthless this kidnappers can be. They don't care for how much blood is spilled.

Lastly, in a country where impunity is a culture we would quickly self implode.

Kidnappers usually go after soft targets. You don't often see them wandering into estates of serving military personnel to kidnap them for ransom. Same way, bandits go after the softest possible targets. They mostly run when they face opposition.

Since the Nigerian state cannot perform one of its most basic functions, which is the protection of the rights and liberty of its citizens, then it should license arms to those that want it to defend themselves with. If the arms are used nonsense, nothing stops the Nigerian state from prosecuting those that use arms for lubbish.
