Which one be smart schools, omorr nawaooo 💩

Interesting, good health is importanta📌💯🙌

Religious crisis will soon breakout in the north and sadly lives will be lost. Tinubu is playing with fire, I expected him to go hard on extremist immediately USA showed their support.
All the scallywags are scared of America.

See yeye Presidential candidate. Not his fault sha

Tinubu is very unpopular in the north at the moment 🤷🏿.

seunmsg:
Which state did he win in the core north?

Kindly Define core north?

Snatch it, grab it and run with it 🤫.



Things are happening in the north, passing of gun ownership or sheriff in local government areas will go a long way in addressing many societal menace 📌💯

Double wahala for dead body and the owner for Dem Body .

The crash, which occurred on a major route in the area, claimed the lives of more than 10 people, according to initial reports.

If not for the violence attached to Islamic religion which I don't support, Sharia law is the best law I would've recommended for a country like Nigeria. My people are very corrupt and stubborn. Most especially looters in government, they should be executed by hanging. Same with 419, arm robbers, kidnappers, bandits, terrorists, Olosho and yahoo boys

Dey play, Governors of Sharia states are excellent treasury Bandits 😅😂🤣

2027: Obidients and The Illusion of Dominance



'Tonye Barcanista

You sef😕, obidients believe in Peter Obi himself 🤷🏿

God doesn't fight a battle He knows you can fight for yourself.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar decided - following South Africa’s false attacks against Israel in the international arena and the unilateral, baseless step taken against the Chargé d’Affaires of Israel in South Africa - that South Africa’s senior diplomatic representative, Minister Shaun Edward Byneveldt, is persona non grata and must leave Israel within 72 hours.
Additional steps will be considered in due course.
Israel Foreign Ministry

Any idea of in bold

Do me i do you
wahala everywhere

This why I want Tinubu to be ruthless against all terrorist groups📌🙌🤷🏿

The market would frustrate them at a point.

You're right, some distributors who owns super market are into retail 📌💯. Their prices are damn low.

This is very terrible, omorr nawaooo

Timipre Sylva should come back na, I wan check something , which kind father go abandon his children 🤣

8:21am (chiagozien) don chop ban 😅😂🤣

The military is brutal when it comes to discipline on erring officers. You seized properties will be looted by other military officers.
That was what played out under Abacha, particularly officers whom had cases in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Bandits vs Bandits 🤷🏿, Banditry 🤣😂😅

Brigadier Mamman Jiya Vatsa properties were seized and never returned till date, countless of them. It's that bad plus personal belongings. Those of us that have visited Police CID will understand better.

This noise is becoming a nuisance, they should go after the industries na😕

SadiqBabaSani:
Where is the photograph of the man

Hope his kids are abroad or he has a thriving business hidden. Because the family go see nonsense 🤷🏿

Bello Turji and comrade don get better update 🤣😂😅

The economy is actually picking up but middle men are reaping people off. I observed some things are cheaper in super market than shops and market stall . Prices have dropped since last year at distributors warehouses but greedy shop owners ain't backing out. Car parts sellers are increasing prices though not all.

Svoboda:
The question should be what his motivation was, especially when it is reported that he seemed emotionally detached and unremorseful. Was it ideological or just hunger for power? For starters, the Nupe can hardly be described as ethnic nationalists, as they usually exhibit very tolerant views of other ethnicities.

Quest for power bro, see swag wey Mali and Burkina Faso military leaders dey carry. I believe that's why Tinubu is decentralization of military formations. Over 30 military barracks in Lagos alone needs to be moved to other southern states.

MadPolitician:
The level of looting going on in the Niger Delta is stunning. No top military guy that ever served there is poor.
This guy was/is just a Colonel in the army, but was the money machine bankrolling a military mission in which his superior officers were involved.
You have to ask "how" did he make the money?

Its all boils down to the fact that he was posted to the Niger Delta at a point as a military commander of one of the lucrative anti this and anti that military operations. They basically collude with foreign oil thieves to loot the country dry once posted over there.
Now they're starting to make more money than they need and sponsoring coups and insurgencies have become fashionable..

This wasn't a coup to radically change things. This was a coup by some utterly corrupt officers desperate to re-imposse northern hegemonic dominance of Nigerias politics..

President Tinubu installed meters to detect theft📌💯. I believe that they knew his plans before swearing in🤷🏿

stainzville:
The Ma'aji wey I know no go spill jack, infact he will answer for his crimes...Very crack regular

He must be a hard man, how well is he disciplined?

I disagree Sir, nupes under IGP Ibrahim Idris Kpotun were strategically placed in juicy position. They had 5 state command commissioners . Leave matters

Drove my kia rio 08 from Badagry, Lagos to Osogbo three days back, its the first time of covering such a distance of about 10hr with the car and everything was perfect throughout the journey. The second day that I started the car for warming, I noticed a heavy blue smoke from the car which got reduced after about 4 minutes. I have since been driving the car till yesterday with small but noticeable smoke. I also noticed the oil is between the full and low in the oil gauge stick.
Pls I need opinion on what is wrong and what I need to do.

Valve seal replacement. Get a Kia/Hyundai specialist to do the job.

I have decided to share this with everyone just to help someone out there who might be in the shoe i was once in.

As a lover of Manual Tranny, i missed and wanted to keep one at home to drive so i eventually got a fairly used Nissan Primera p11 (1998) quite clean and ok, but one issue, Revving the engine brings out smoke from the exhaust, not a serious smoke actually but if u are the type that know your onions, it is clearly an indication that Valves and/or Rings and starting to worn out and allowing oil into them little by little.

*Please note that i knew about this before i agree with the deal and the price the vehicle was given out was ok for me to replace the engine if i wish to.

I guess this happened due to the Negligence of the former owner and the type of engine oil he uses.

The thing is, u cant find out yourself except if someone rev the vehicle for you while u watch from the rear.

Some other days, the vehicle brings out smokes for few seconds after parking overnight.

Apart from the smoking part, i took time to check underneath the engine bottom plate or oil pan (not a mechanic so i actually don't know what that is called) and found oil at the bottom, which actually indicates there is a leak. And d way thing look dow there, i can see that the pan hit a hard stuff and i guess there is a little crack

Now there are 3 things involved,
1. My engine oil is leaking from the bottom due to a crack oil pan
2. It sometimes brings out blue smoke after parking a long time, for instance, overnight.. then stops, i.e valve seals are bad.
3. Revving a bit higher brings out blue smokes too, visible only to people behind u.. i.e my Piston rings are beginning to go bad already.

Although the car moves well and the engine still very active, i know i v got to get solution to those stuffs before it kills the engine and probably smoking all day on with no compression later on.

Did i tell u i had to top 1L of oil every 2 weeks since it's shortening and after a long journey?

I decided to visit a trusted mechanic and i explained things to him.

On the issue of engine, i had an option of either buying another one which costs about 130k or rebuild my existing one with new valve seals and rings which costs around 30k.

I have heard a lot of sad stories concerning ringing so i opted that one out. Some even said it doesn't last more than 6 months.
He smiled and explained some things to me.

"A successful Ringing involves an experience mechanic and also using genuine parts, " and that "some of the engines which is even sold to people as tokunbo are the refurbished ones, worked on with new rings by us here and resold as tokunbo"



I wasn't really convinced at first but after some months i made a calculation..

*A new Tokunbo engine costs around 130k (I wasn't ready to spend that on something am not even sure of the quality)

*My mechanic will rebuild my old engine for 30k

*I buy 1Litre oil for top-up every 2weeks at 2k, thats 4k for a month, apart from the regular service i do every 2 months with an oil of 4k.

So for a total of 6 months, l will use about 10Litres (10 cans of 1L) topping oil and 8Litres (2 cans of 4L) for regular servicing which makes a total of N28,000 just for the oil aside workmanship.

Now, why not put this money together and try out the engine ringing, use it for the same 6months. It's iron cast built engine anyway so it shouldn't be very hard for a successful rebuilding afterall, according to what i got online.

Besides, the money is not even up to what some people will give to a lady or buy drinks at a go. Even some people spend more than that to service their cars just one month.

Job started, oil pan was replaced.. New rings and valve seals done. The whole job took 3 days.

Before i went to pick it up, i read about what and what not to do after ringing an engine so i got that covered

Throughout my journey home, i wasn't convenient driving the car as i was busy listening to any sign of somethin breaking in the engine . .. Infact i go drive small and open the bonnet to check if water has mixed with the engine oil, or maybe coolant is now inside the gear oil

There was even a point where i could smell oil burning when the engine was warm after driving some minutes, i pulled over to see if oil has splashed all over the road

I have never paid attention to all my dashboard gauges like that single moment of driving away from mechanic workshop after the ring was done.

After that day, i began a countdown when that 6 months will come. More like someone who is waiting for a death sentence. Damn, some people can give u fear and discouragement ehn

To cut the long story short. 6 months has come and gone, car is used everyday and travels long journeys too, smoke no gree come o, instead na water vapor dey come out of it's exhaust every morning.. Especially steaming during cold mornings

Not a single drop of oil again either underneath or on oil stick.

The only thing i do now is change the oil and filter every 3 months or 3000KM whichever comes first. Nothin more.

Imagine still letting myself suffer till now and wasting money just because some Kazeems did a bad job for someone else, either an inexperienced one or he purposely bought knock off piston rings.

Also the first 1000KM after ringing matters too. I had to follow instructions online on how to break-in vehicle with new rings properly, i don't just depend on my mechanic advice only.

And yes, a "Kazeem" did the job for me,

My advice.

*Never let anyone push you, listen to advises, make use of the one that favours you, don't just just follow others' footsteps.

*Not everyone has got a lost of cash in the bank and can afford to buy a Tokunbo engine.

*Just because Mr A's job wasn't done successfully doesn't quite mean yours will follow the same pattern

*Don't be too stingy with your mechanic, you will be at the receiving end since they ll keep cheating you and buying you knock off parts, don't act too wise. Especially when rebuilding engine

*Get a competent mechanic with a fear of God who ll tell you the truth, it will help you and your car a lot

*I think Iron cast built engines are better rebuilt compared to the Aluminium ones. Infact i wont advice anyone with aluminium engine to rebuild, my own opinion.

*Personally, i feel getting competent mechanics that specializes on commercial vehicle will do a better job rebuilding an engine. My own opinion and from experience though.

My own story though. I hope it helps someone out there.
Please share your experience too if you ever had an engine rebuilt, maybe someone out there can learn from the perfection and mistakes as well.


***UPDATE**
It's almost 2 years already. Car doesnt smoke, everything is still in perfect condition.
Just servicing as at when due will keep your vehicle healthy and it will serve you for long.

I just rebuilt my 2AZ-fe engine, it's aluminum block and I used a mechanic that works on commercial vehicles particularly Toyota. Vehicle was guzzling one liter of oil weekly 😥. Am enjoying the vehicle. Belgium engine is btw 1.2M to 1.5M , I spent less than 200K for everything 🤷🏿. I bought original rings myself, job is over 10 weeks and thermostat is still inside.

Heavy taxation won't make people pay , Mr Governor has seen how far 😅😂🤣. Body go soon tell this polithiefcians
