Health › Re: 84 Percent Of Anti-malaria Drugs In Lagos Are Fake’ by gulfer: 11:49am On Mar 30, 2012
Do you guys know what Steven Johnson's syndrome means? I lost a cousin to this in 2010 November as a result of the fake Artesunate (poison) reaction in his system. There should be a dead penalty law to anyone found peddling fake pharmaceutical drugs, it is worse than the police's accidental discharge. You can check this link [url]https://www.google.com/search?q=pictures+of+steven+johnson%27s+syndrome&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=M9u&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=9451T7nqO4-KhQfpzZ2fDQ&ved=0CDkQsAQ&biw=947&bih=593[/url]and understand what trauma my cousin and indeed the extended family went through during this time.Diagnoses if not early and drug stopped immediately can be fatal.

If this were an advanced country, the homicide team would have cordoned off the whole place until investigation is completed. Even though he was not pushed off the elevator, the WAeC is still guilty of not ensuring a safe working environment and somebody's rear needs to be stewed for this.

Jokes Etc › A Wise Son;wiser Father! by gulfer(op): 6:51am On Mar 28, 2012
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.

His father said he'd make a deal with his son, "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car."

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut."

The boy said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair."

(You're going to love the Dad's reply)

"Did you also notice that they walked everywhere they went"

xroad: You did not mention anything about their vehicle recovery process. Are they the ones that would deploy policemen to the scene or it is the distraught customer that would have to do that?
I am not a sales person for XNET but a customer. Their service, monitoring and recovery is quite commendable and they can only explain more to you if you call them. No harm in giving them a call;Call Jessica(07064039934) and if unconvinced then move on.

Nairaland General › Seun, What Has Been The Traffic Since The Upgrade Of The Nairaland-be Honest ? by gulfer(op): 3:20pm On Mar 27, 2012
As the heading says, Can you let Nairalanders know if there has been an increase in traffic or the other way round to the NL since the upgrade? Some topics that should have elicited high response rates are observed to be otherwise. Any comment on this?
Autos › Re: Can Someone Recommend A Good Car Tracking Company by gulfer: 2:33pm On Mar 27, 2012
xroad: Yes, i have heard about XNET but i think their fees are a bit high. N84,000.00 i think, for the real time tracking.
Also, most of these companies claim the glory for car recoveries just because they were the ones that installed the tracker. Most times, i hear it is the car owners that actually mobilize the police to recover their vehicles.
That is for about 2 years plus service but if it is corporate level and many vehicles in your fleet, they can do a negotiation to your terms. They are real and efficient and unlike the others. Only if you do not protect the integrity of these assets by leaving them in the hands of unscrupulous persons especially drivers, a tracker may be generally useless. Call Jessica(07064039934) again to discuss, they have different packages
Autos › Re: Can Someone Recommend A Good Car Tracking Company by gulfer: 9:58am On Mar 27, 2012
xroad: There seem to be a lot of car tracking companies or individuals selling GPS devices and solutions in Nigeria. Can anyone recommend a good company that can deliver what it says.
I need the following features:
- The GPS should be affordable
- Online Real time tracking
- Detailed Maps. Very key criteria.
- Affordable monthly subscription

Any recommendations?
Xnetsecurity is the best and one of the pioneers. Reliable at all times; just this morning, one of our staff buses was carjacked at Badore in Ajah at about 0600hrs and i am happy to tell you that this has just been recovered in Ondo township with all the robbers arrested.Call Jessica on 07064039934 for details.

nissparts: A. If your cat has been removed you would have either an 0420 or 0430 code except an oxygen sensor mod had been done at the time of removal, which in your case, I doubt.

B. Be assured that the myth that the catalyst is there for fuel economy is entirely false and is a Nigerian mechanic assumption. The fact is without a catalyst, your car would be more fuel efficient and not the other way round. I dont have the time to go through specifics but Google is your friend.

C. The oxygen sensor that controls fuel delivery is the one on top of the catalyst and not the one below. You have a code for that sensor on bank 1 and that means your fuel economy should be bad.

D. What Nigerian mechanics and panel beaters do with their wrong assumption is to inform you they will replace the hollowed out catalyst with a wire mesh they usually refer to as "indomie" (sigh). What you wont realise is that after a few months, that wire mesh will become clogged and the engine will have to work harder and BURN EVEN MORE FUEL. I have seen this countless times

E. I have removed all 3 catalysts in my car and done an o2 sensor non-fouler mod and got an increase of 90miles on my range on a full tank plus 3mpg gain on the fuel economy readout.

Cheers.
@Nissparts, can we have more from you on the above? Especially on the thermostats and Cats.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Ghanaian laborer Kills Friend ‘soul Mate’ During Fight Over Phone in Nigeria by gulfer(op): 8:24am On Mar 26, 2012

Foreign Affairs › Ghanaian laborer Kills Friend ‘soul Mate’ During Fight Over Phone in Nigeria by gulfer(op):
Gabriel Enning and Eric were best friends; they have been living and working together since 2011 when they arrived Nigeria as illegal immigrants from Ghana.

PUNCH Metro gathered that it was hard to find one without the other nearby. Their closeness attracted the attention of their neighbours and co-workers who eventually began to refer to them as soul mates.

The unexpected, however, happened on March 12, 2012, when a fight broke out between the two over a missing mobile phone and 22-year-old Eric lost his life in the process.

Enning, who is presently in police custody, told PUNCH Metro that he still found it difficult coming to terms with the tragic incident.

Narrating what transpired on that fateful day, the 23-year-old Ghanaian national said, “Eric and I have been living in Nigeria for about six months now. We both hail from Oda, Ghana, but we came to Nigeria to seek greener pastures.

“We work at Mannies, a company which manufactures ice cream and yoghurt. The company also provides accommodation for us so we both lived and worked together at Isheri-Berger, Lagos.

“On that fateful day, early in the morning, while we were preparing for work, Eric complained that he could not find his mobile phone and went berserk. He went to complain to our boss but our boss told him to wait till we all returned from work to settle the matter.”

Enning said after returning from work at 4pm that day, Eric accused him of stealing the mobile phone which led to an altercation.

He said, “I told Eric to wait till our boss and our colleagues returned from work but he refused. Eric went ahead to lock the door of the room and held my trousers, shouting that I should produce his phone.

“Eric picked up a hand trowel and put it against my neck, threatening to injure me if I did not give him back his phone. I didn’t know why he was so sure that I was the one that stole his phone.

“He then attempted to dispossess me of my money which was in my pocket but I resisted him. A struggle ensued and he suddenly picked up a glass bottle and hit me in the mouth, causing me to lose a tooth.”

PUNCH Metro learnt that Enning became infuriated after losing his tooth and the friends started fighting.

Enning told our correspondent that after fighting for a while, he forced the door open, went outside and picked up a piece of metal which he used to hit his friend.

“I hit Eric’s hand with the metal but he was tried to collect it from me but the metal fell to the floor. I picked it up again but this time I used the metal to hit him in the back of the head. He suddenly fell to the floor and started bleeding profusely,” he said.

With the help of some bystanders, Enning said he quickly rushed Eric to a hospital where he gave up the ghost.

He said, “When Eric and I were fighting outside, some people were outside watching us but they did not understand what was going on because we were speaking our native Ghanaian language.

“When he collapsed, they helped me to put him into a vehicle which we used in transporting him to a hospital where he died.

“I never knew life was so fragile, I never intended to kill him, we were like brothers,” Enning said with an emotion-laden voice.

Enning was immediately arrested by policemen attached to the Isheri Division, from where he was transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.

The spokesperson for the state police command, Mr. Joseph Jaiyeoba, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent on the telephone, said the police would be diligent in its investigation.

Jaiyeoba warned members of the public to settle disputes amicably rather than resorting to violence.

He said, “People should always keep calm and settle disputes amicably because a single moment of anger could push one to commit heinous crimes which could land one behind bars.” http://www.punchng.com/metro/ghanaian-kills-soul-mate-during-fight-over-phone/

mikuz: THREE years ago, he was oneof the militants carrying guns in the creeks of Niger-Delta, but on March 19, he returned from an 18-month intensive training in the United States of America, USA, a qualified marine engineer.
His name is Engineer Moses Gbogun, a beneficiary of the Federal Government’s amnesty programme for militants.
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/03/ex-militant-returns-from-us-as-marine-engineer/
GEJ should be ready to train Boko Haram Militants in the north and Agbero Militants in the South West; not forgetting the MASSOB Frats in the East. Big problems cooking; rather than have good educational system, he is busy sending a negligible fraction to media monitored Jamboree education. We know of University graduates who have no jobs even with good degrees after 5yaers in school. Just be ready for an even bigger challenge from the neglected multitude even right there in the South South.

This is another excuse to not do anything throughout four (4) years. He will use populist programmes (peanuts) to befuddle the people and buy their sympathy. What is a governor doing monitoring kerosene sale, he should invest his time in policies that will bring the people long-term relieve rather than this short term hurray-seeking palliatives (ala GEJ).

Abuja(NAN) Fire broke out Thursday afternoon
