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🤷🏿

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

Hahahaha, e go reach everybody ai 😅. What exactly did Tinubu heard/know about Elrufai .
Tinubu did the unexpected that shocked and surprised everyone 🤷🏿.

The market leaders requested a visible and sustained security presence in markets, full operation of motor parks to facilitate the movement of buyers and goods, and decisive action against individuals who benefit from or enforce the sit-at-home order. They appealed for enhanced security to guarantee the safety of lives and property.


Military convoys do stop because of highway armed robbers 🤣😅😂🤷🏿

Expect 5M votes from Rivers for Tinubu .

Mynd44:
So it isn't about misgovernance.

Wow

Majority of Nigerians didn't like Tinubu 🤷🏿 immediately after he was declared. Coupist are opportunist.

Pakute:
Abegi... Nigerian media, keep quiet!, they have turned journalism into click baiting, they sit down in their news room fabricating hearsays like one Onitsha screwdriver seller.

Premium Times will come with their own version, Sahara Reporters will come with their own, The Punch will come out with their own. Abeg rest!.

One version says they failed promotion exams and were therefore disgruntled, another version says they were displeased how their superiors were handling insecurity issues, while another version says it was purely political as a former Governor of a SS state was the mastermind and financier.

One version says they planned executing the coup on Armed forces remembrance day while another version says they wanted to carry it out on handing over day to stop Buhari handing over to the President.

How can any sensible individuals possibly take these lazy journalists and hire for pen journalism seriously?.

As long as they are aware the public are interested in a particular story, the media start milking it with their own styled fabrications.

TRASH!!!

Don't underestimate premium times 📌💯

SpencerForbes:
Forget that talk, the ex might not even be loaded. She’s likely just using 'ex-rich boyfriend' stories to bait you so you can level up your spending and upgrade her lifestyle. She's playing psychological games to make you 'invest' more.
Don’t fall for the billing in disguise. Men, Shine your eyes.

You too Sabi 📌💯.
Ladies and format 🤣😅😂

Till unknown gun men catch am fess

Ikeja bomb blast, political actors and opposition were blowing hot at each other then. Eedris Abdulkarim talked about it in his jaga jaga hit track😁

Can you imagine, hold your money oOoOO

I dislike Tinubu but omorr I don't support this. DSS, DIA and Police should bundle this group . Enough of this antidemocratic elements.

Hilux 2tr-fe engine goes for 5M now. The crankshaft is btw 500-800k . I visited a car engine shop, all the engine I saw there was Nigerian used (2AZ-fe and 1zz-3zz). It's obviously from stolen Nigerian used cars and stripped 📌💯.

Tareq1105:
He wouldn't go to ADC coalifusion bcoz of Atikulooter. His kwakwassiya movement wanted him to go to APC but the conditions he gave are not realistic.

He wanted Tinubu to remove Shettima for him which Tinubu would not do. So, his Gov pulled the rug off his feet by joining APC before him.

Kwakwaso will shamelessly come to APC. Just keep following.

Fingers crossed

Senator Ningi, no b by gragra oOoOO. If you worry again, another suspension man🤷🏿

Governor Okepebolo abi bolo bolo

Eshinwaju:
Obi is not lying, stay at home and provide the basics.

You can't give what you don't have 🤷🏿

According to him, “the new bridge over the Ulasi Stream, which has been under construction for over a decade, is only about 70% completed, with pillars erected and deck components fabricated, but not installed, leaving the structure non-operational and the corridor effectively impassable.”

Nawaooo

That FCT bandits needs to chased, well FCT no b rivers that he can control like zombiessss.

Governor Abba return for second term is obviously not clear, they've entered the dirty mode. Kwankwaso should move to ADC 📌💯

nkwoemeka:
Lie from pit of hell, I am a trucker and ply the road regularly, I can attest to minimal work going on from okene to prison junction, from obajana junction to okene is standstill. Then their is little progress from irua to ekpoma. Let them expedite action on that road because the raining season is fast approaching.

Bad thing no go do you for highway 🙏🙌

President Bola Tinubu ordered a permanent fix for the road using special concrete technology (called Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement) that should last between 50 and 100 years.

All roads around Edo to Kogi should be concrete 📌💯.
Limestone surplus for that axis, hope Professor by experience ain't collecting kickbacks for substandard contracts .

120 Basij centers is were brain wash of Iranian take place to support Ayotolallah Khameni.

Everyone has seen what IRAN can do with it's nuclear weapons if allowed. They're not willing to let go🤷🏿.

“It would even be better if it was the ADC, something new, they (referring to Yusuf and loyalists) went to. Rather, they took it (mandate) away and handed over to enemies.

Kwankwaso is moving to ADC 📌💯
