Spineless

ekoboy:
My people, with the subsidy removal in Nigeria, this thread becomes even more necessary. Think we should revive it . Will take time to prepare fuel consumption of my car later, but I know its terrible. Nothing like what the car manufacturer stated. We spend more time idling in Lagos and with the pot holes have to always slow down.

True talk but you can only measure consumption well and realistically when the excessive idling we are forced to endure stops. I squeezed out about 350miles from my SUV recently but in Oyo state and highway. My tank by the way is 19.3gallons US.

nissparts:
L is actually low gear.
It stays in gear 1

I use my D3 2 1 either when ascending the hills in Osun state etc cos you need the power or when i need to quickly move past some of these unhooked containers or tankers on Lagos -Ibadan Expressway as it gives a change in acceleration D3,2,1 back to drive.

Thanks @Yamakuza, guess it is a case of the more you look, the less you see,

Are you not the original poster, or the fuel increase added 50k now now?

@Ikenna351, you are versed in automobiles, but what happens with someone who takes his vehicle to the auto-shop for this preventative maintenance ending up with nothing done. Good story with a moral at the end. How was the consumption?

PSG 0: MILAN 1 (PATO). Kenjade, Happy New Year. So what is your new thread name suggestion?

If robbers have full tank and the chasing police have 1/4 tank; how far can they chase the badguys?

I guess others have noticed, the google custom search is no longer available for Nairaland.

Did any of our seer pastors or prophets predict this? This Jonathan is certainly unpredictable after promising better life to Nigerians if elected. I'm sure Adeboye too is unhappy with this twist.

@inspired, I need to preorder a BMX with 5 speed manual tranny. It should not have been in an accident. Please post VIN so I can check on BICYCLEFAX.

afam4eva:
Please, this is 2011.Let's leave this bigotry alone.

We are waiting for you in 2012.

Depends on the persons hair endowment.  A man with receeding hairline should keep it short and smart.

With four tyres and automatic transmission or manual tranny? Wake up, this is auto section, post this in phone section.

Rude-awakening

Commendable, at least this one is not setting up a night club ala Yobo and Okocha etc. Will help develop his country.

Good example you showed, but who was taking the pictures as you administered the restoration liquid or was this planned. Anyways, this is commendable and better than what obtains even in hospitals across the nation. For the policemen you called, it is just unfortunate. Sunday Bada (RIP) died because no immeditate assistance got to him right around the jibowu axis; where there is a stationed APC with policemen. We may never know if these officers in Jibowu were sounded out but ignored as they usually would oblivious that it was one of their own, albeit an Oga.

Is he just realising this?

Reviewing the state of preparedness to deal with various attacks being carried out by men of the underworld, the Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Dipo Ayeni, has said the police are ill-equipped, ill-funded and their training haphazard.

Speaking at the stakeholders security meeting he convened to discuss the forthcoming New Year celebration, the police commissioner told those calling on him to dispatch more men and equipment to places of worship for the New Year service to hold in churches that the state command would need state-of-art equipment to be able to guarantee everyone safety, which is not available in the country.

He said he had recently visited a foreign country where he saw a police sergeant with equipment which he, as a police commissioner, did not have, adding that with few men on the field but with the type of equipment that were available elsewhere, it was possible for few men to police the whole area without moving about. Mr. Ayeni, who remarked that every society got the type of police it deserved, added that there was nowhere he knew but in Nigeria that policemen worked for 24 hours and hardly went on leave.

While being optimistic that Nigeria would still get to the place where the advanced countries were today in terms of equipping the police, he urged everyone to be vigilant and provide police with useful information to enable them track down criminals in the society.
In his response to the police commissioner’s comment, the Arch Bishop of Jos, Ignatius Kaigma, said while he sympathised with the position policemen in Nigeria have found themselves, said people should not be tired of appealing to the Federal Government to properly equip and fund the police.

While commending the state police commissioner for the steps he had taken to bring together leaders of the different sects and religions, he urged the people to begin to trust one another. He noted that while leaders of the two major religions had come out to condemn the various bomb blasts and the activities of the Boko Haram, some people still doubted their sincerity.
He said when the Sultan of Sokoto spoke on national television to say those who carried out the bombing were evil men and condemned their activities, some Nigerians were still doubting his sincerity, saying if Nigerians failed to embrace and trust one another, it might become impossible to find solution to the problems at hand.

At the stakeholders meeting, the leader of the Bomb Squad of the state Police Command in charge of Plateau and Bauchi, ASP Abel Mbibi, displayed some of the explosives recovered in some places in Jos and Bauchi and enlightened the public on how they worked.
He explained how the different tins and cylinders used in packing the explosives could be detected and told those at the meeting to educate their members, children and wards to be wary of picking objects from the ground and to alert the police once they noticed unusual objects attached to the tins.

Meanwhile, the state police command has banned the movement of motorcycles from 6.00am of December 31, 2011 to 6.00pm of January 1, 2012. A statement signed by the state police commissioner reads: “The state Police Command, after due consultation with the executive of the Motorcycle Riders Association in the state, wishes to inform members of the public that the movement of motorcycles will be banned as from 0600hrs of December 31, 2011-1800hrs of January 1, 2012. This is a mechanism to ensure a peaceful and violence-free New Year celebration.”

The release further reminded parents that the ban of firing knockout was still in force and anybody who flouted the directive would be arrested and prosecuted.

Yes, with the new owner. Gbam!

The Nigeria Purnishing Force (NPF) of course.

@Leomax, thanks for the education but i dare say Nigerians are rated one of the happiest people on earth and not just only Calabar (Cross Rivers) people; has that improved the lot of the average Nigerian? You should be the one having an introspective check of your one week of happiness in 52 that makes a year believe.

INEC examination (elections), our president cheated and our presidents have been cheating; who am i not to join them. I always feel bad after anyway.

Liyel Imoke has money to throw around. This is part of dividence of democracy ehn, let the state government come out with how much was spent for the jamboree in a state where very many resolve to servitude (old and young) to survive.

Ask the pertinent question when buying anything and same applies to cars. If you'll be buying on NL, patronise those with listed addresses; check one of the stickies on this auto section. Also do not be carried away by extra-ordinarily cheap prices a stolen car would usually be offered for, and most importantly demand for the papers and do a check with the vehicle licencing authority before payment,

Advise him further to hire a driver on his return journey,

Azazi, Jonathan Jnr. has spoken like the GEJ himself; clueless, excuse-making minions in positions that require astute thinkers and pragmatic leaders, The IGP will soon tell us that robbers are attacking the banks and succeding because of fraustration. Azazi, security chiefs should bl, dy resign.

2015 is a year full of the unknowns. Are we going to be together still?
