I get tired of Nigerians and Nairalanders, everybody has something to say, we don’t need to react to everything but NO everybody wants to be relevant even dumbf**ks think they have opinions,
Did you not read that the lease agreement had expired and contract was breached but NO everybody wants to type.
We need to get hold of our emotions and focus on ourselves.

Na wa o. Even you made a comment (an opinion) without understanding the story/write-up.
The building with expired lease and the one that was demolished are two different buildings.
Back to the main gist, this is completely unacceptable and the country should seek redress and appropriate punishment for the man behind this insult.
No high commission worth its salt will start building without approval. If an individual has a complaint, he should have gone to the law court. Even if the land was illegally acquired, this action of demolition without a court backing is totally wrong, even more so, when it is against a sovereign nation. A complete embarrassment to both Nigeria and Ghana.

Has anyone used the Hyundai sonata 2007 - 08, I looking to get one soon does it have any issues of note

Sonata is a good deal mostly, just be careful to pick one that has not been manhandled by the previous owner. It makes sense to have it checked out by a competent mechanic before you make your final decision. However, avoid sonata 2011- 2012/2013. I read on the internet sometime back that the 2011 sonata was one of the worst cars Hyundai made. Had some many complaints by buyers. You may check this up on owners review of Hyundai sonata 2011. It should still be available on the net. But Hyundai has since then learnt her lesson and made good corrections. Availability of parts maybe a small issue if you aren't in Lagos or Abuja but the Hyundai sonata is a reliable, affordable car with very good fuel economy. I so testify.

The preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. 1 Corinthians 1:20-25

WICKEDfucker:


It is also a sin to think that your religion is the only path to salvation and "paradise"
ALL JUST BECAUSE YOUR STORY BOOK (BIBLE) SAYS SO.
Why should I believe in your story book and not believe in other religions' story books?


You don't have facts

You don't have substantial evidence

You don't have reliable story (that's why we have so many divisions in the religion and none of you agree with eachother)

You can not tell me not to believe in
Krishna (Hinduism)
Muhammed (Islam)
Moses (Judaism)
Budda (Buddhism) etc

And just believe that a man who was convicted of a crime of blasphemy and sedition and was rejected and killed by his people died for my sins. That's the height of stupîdity, intolerance and ignorance.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETTER THE STORY OF JESUS AND KHRISNA?

My comment is not about your answer quoted below but the name you chose to call yourself--- alBagdadi.
We know that is not your real name but the pseudonym you chose for yourself. Is the man in question your hero? Someone you secretly admire? If the name of a terrorist and morally depraved fellow is the identity you willingly take up, then something is seriously wrong somewhere. Like you concluded in your answer quoted, I counsel you to: Use your common sense.

alBHAGDADI:
Hello, read carefully. The verses are talking about different scenarios, otherwise the Bible won't have time to be repeating the same thing.

One case is clearly rape, while the other is consensual sex. Don't confuse the word Force for LAY HOLD. They are two different words with different meaning.

Use common sense.

Why so much hate and bile? Is it your money? When you give your own money to whoever or whatever you spend it on, did anyone ridicule you on it?

beewhy5050:
Watch how the religiously brainwashed covidiots start ranting about some antichrists not wanting them to go to church,bla bla bla. You haven't been to church and mosque since the lockdown and the question is "Did you die?". Majority can't wait to start going to lick the ass of their thieving pastors and give them all their money again.

It is you that we should do something about. Why are you so afraid of the truth. If you disagree with his comments, read and pass but rest assured that one day you will seek for who to tell you the truth but it may be too late. Msy it not be too late for you, Amen.
To you Righeousness89, more grace, more grace!

Op, react to this weighty allegation.
Are you guilty as charged?

Fake sweet-talk. I got a tracker from them. It has never worked, on and off. Date is God-knows- what century and does not change. I forgot to check client online reviews( very negative of the app they use) before falling into their trap. Wasted cash.

RIP sir. Your life was a testimony of God's grace and a challenge to saints you left behind. Lord, help us to play our part and to end well also.

You clearly do not understand the magnitude of the evil China has done or allowed. Trump is right on this one.

Morbidly Obese Trump (Pelosi cannot make heaven)

Dude is desperate to shift attention.

If the country is serious about cutting costs and ensuring general acceptance for the IPPIS template, it should be implemented for the executive ( the President, the VP, their ministers and special advisers, all ad-hoc staff), the legislature, the judiciary. Including NNPC and CBN staff. This selective implementation does not cut it.

When are we going to get serious in this country for goodness sake?
Why should that amount of money (a billion) be used to feed and house returnees from foreign country. At best, just subsidize the cost for them. These people aren't paupers.
Think about what a billion can do if rightly used for the masses.

Foolishness is to keep doing the same thing while expecting a different result.
Isn't it obvious to the government that this interstate restriction is harming the economy and as a result the people & govt, more than whatever gain they hope to get from it.
Isn't it obvious?

Is like you just want us to know you probably work close to the patients at the isolation center? It's not necessary.



[quote author= post=89294616]It will soon be over.
Over 20 million vaccines will be available to everyone before December.

Together, we will win this war against this deadly virus.



Lol .
It is not like that o Madam Bola,
Now let us 'paraphrase" that....

The vaccines will be out next week in hundreds.
But there will be more than 20 million produced before December and much more next year.
Hope this helps ma?

So surely, we will win this war.


We believe singularly that means JESUS... HUSBAND...DANCE?
What does it mean in this contest o.
People dancing for Jesus?



Tho, this your post is off topic, but let's try to reply you a bit......
Yes sir, we do that time to time...[to both genders].

Hope you noticed the way we addressed you also?
We did that cos this is the first time we are seeing your mention.
Now, if you come to us with some kinda foolishness after this (we hope you don't) watch us drag you on the muddy floor as we do to some uncultured kids here.
Now you have it.
May God continue to protect you and your family.[/quote]

op, think am well o. Car maybe quite good as they say but is it common around your area. You are planning to use the Opel in calabar, is it common there? And for commercial purpose, which means you will need parts and technician fairly regularly, are these available in calabar?
People in Jos, Bauchi, Abuja may be ok with it but look at your own area in calabar well o.

baba4thegehs:
I just got convinced. Got a good deal yesterday.


I'm settling for Opel

Mike4S:
I graduated some years back, and never wanted to teach in secondary school‎ because of the trends in Nigerian education. I took to the labour market and focused only on primary schools. As the job did not come, I decided to include secondary schools.

One later came my way and it was the later. Having stayed long in the unemployment line, I accepted the offer. I started teaching and it was as I thought before. Having the hindsight, I did not bother. After all before the examination I will have gathered some amount. 

My colleagues were particularly vulnerable to the impact of our boss. Whenever they discuss, they always say all kind of things about the pressure from the boss. They saw it as an act of routine expediency that had to be done.

First term passed, second term passed, at this juncture, she called a meeting and we mustered. The major thrust of the meeting was the strategy to engage to pass the children.
She did not call it exam malpractice. She used a euphemistic language. At the end, she asked if we understood. Everybody nodded yes and gave an affirmative answer. This was at the end of the second term.

Soon it was time for the exam and the staff time table was out. It was arranged such that every teacher on duty will be supervising exam on the day his subject was to be taken. 

Choosing principle of expediency, I refused to take part in the exam malpractice I was uncomfortable with. 

The woman called and persuaded me to engage in the shady deal. I kept mute but inside me I had already made up my mind like the biblical Shedrack, Meshack, and Abednego.

The next day, I was on duty and I insisted on my principle of expediency. She simply gritted her teeth and moved on with it. 

Sometimes it is desirable for people to be free of fear of attack or sack as the case may be in order to invoke honest opinion.

The woman endured it because she did not have choice than to continue with me. Guess what! Some parents were ready to go with me! 
She endured it until the term ended. I was not surprised when she called me and announced my exit. 

Today, I am happy that i'm teaching in primary school where I am not forced to do exam malpractice. I'm even happy to have my pay raised.

Rest assured that heaven has noted it. You will get your due reward if you continue on the right path. Congratulations!

paulGrundy:
a fraudstar once approached me with a deak to help him open an account and manipulate the system for him in order to evade surveillance of monitoring agencies e.g EFCC. I would gain about 5 million for every 50 million he wired successful plus I would hit and surpass my target. It was very tempting as an ET fighting hard to be promoted to an ABO, but my conscience would not let me. after having sleepless night, I called him and politely turned down the offer.

There is oil on your head oga Nurey! Very plausible explanation. I completely agree with your explanation of crumpled zone.
That Camry and virtually all modern cars are built now with crumpled zone; areas that will absorb impact in an accident and get destroyed easily to prevent transmitting the impact or force to the occupants of the car or other vital areas. That way, the likelihood of human fatality is reduced. So u have a car that seems badly damaged but repairable as opposed to a car with little damage but dead occupants.
The concept of crumpled zone explains this accident correctly.

nurey:
The Venza is an accidented car, during its fixing a lot of filler was used in the front area this made the front extremely extra strong, that bonnet Should hit a human at 15km you did get a broken bone.

The Camry isn't fitted with plastic Chinese parts but the original part, the Camry rear was built to absorb force (crumble zone) to avoid injury to cabin area.

The Camry wasn't parked but at a stop the venza came at it with brake depressed so it actually hit the Camry like a bull would hit its target, the Camry is a short wheel base of the Venza so the rear has no definite protective chassis which could have dealt a blow to the venza.

The collision that happened is called inelastic collision but in this scenario the Venza transferred energy to the camry while the camry acted as a cushion because at the initial collision, the driver let go of the brake which could have been an external force dealt back to the Venza.

why the Venza sustained no damage to the bumper also is due to its design, the bumpers are held by retractable plastic clips.

I agree with you. Don't mind the ignorance of f Nwanimo1, the guy who made the initial dangote comment. Head or tail, dangote wins. How?
If the Dangote refinery can start working today, it's even a blessing because we import refined petroleum products like petrol, diesel and kerosene after selling our crude oil. Now, whether we sell the crude or not, we still need those refined products; where will the dollars to buy them come from? We must do everything to atleast locally refine our own crude oil. That won't solve the whole shit but atleast we won't need to import PMS again.

Bevista:
The Dangote comment smacks of ignorance. Dangote doesn't own the stranded oil. If anything, he would be happy to buy cheap oil for his refinery.

Isn't it obvious to you, Mr Economics, that wage reduction across board is better for the society than sacking some people at this time. Each worker in this country has a minimum of four dependants, can you see the spiral effect?

georgeiyke009:
I pity all of you rejoicing. It seems some of you went through high school and university, read economics and then when issues that require sound economic analysis arise, people brain go just enter Agbaya mode. The only way this will be feasible is:

1. CBN will cut the banks a lot of regulatory slack to make more money. This will be to the detriment of the larger economy and stifling funds the real sector, which is the only sector that will pull us out of the recession needs.

2. Direct bail out funds by the FG. Starving the real sector if needed funds.

3. Huge tax rebates. Again detrimental to the larger economy. The number of jobs it will keep is negligible to the damage this will cause.

4. They were mum on what the salary scale would be. Guess what, they will simply divide the total salary they would have paid had they sacked people by the total number of staff without sacking and adjust peoples salary grade. So effectively , the only way If 1-2 were not the case is a general downgrade in salary.

N:B There is never going to be a win win situation. Someone or something has to loose because of this decision. The question is hope the other side will not mind.

Oga, the banks are still making good profit, you only need to see their 1st quarter report. It is just a question of tolerating a little less profit than they earlier projected by not sacking workers, this is better for the society in the long run.
Nobody said they cannot reduce wages a bit but don't sack people at this time. The guys at the top echelon are the ones that take the lion share of the wage bill in reality, not the low cadre.

SLAP44:
I need explanation, are the CBN and bankers committee now doing the work of managing the bank which I thought were business establishments capable of making and enforcing their own decisions as they deem fit in order to remain in business.

Why then are the CBN interfering with the decision, if these banks experience distress because of the insistence the regulatory bodies, who will bear the consequences?

I disagree in entirety with this view that you owe no one. That's not true. There is no self-made man or woman anywhere. We all got some help along the line, it may be in form of counsel/advice, connection, money etc but we were assisted by others and the best way a man that has been lifted can show gratitude is for him to lift another. We must not let people's toxic attitude(behaviour) pollute our soul.

pocohantas:
You are right too. We would send this message to Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Jack Ma and other world organizations. They should focus on their continents and family trees.

Africa is about the biggest recipient of giveaways.

What is all this relative talk sef. How did the concept of village people come about? Isn’t it from people who got burned after going back home to share bread or money? Isn’t that why some people abroad refuse to come back home and visit their villages?

So why are we acting like family/friends haven’t done worse to people. Are these people not someone’s family member(s)?

I think the best thing is everybody should hold their money. You no even owe anybody.

Thank you sir. My thoughts exactly. Shylock employers all over the place.

Prophet777:
Useless bank, after dashing FG N1Billion just for publicity purposes right? Donating N1B at the expense of that cleaner who earns 15k per month with three children that will now drop out of school? Yet, the N1B donated has gone with the winds, cannot be accounted for.

You better put on your thinking cap. Laying off staffs at the moment remains a very bad decision, wicked act, bad reputation & image for any serious, self respected & a bank claiming to worth it salt.

Cutting down salaries including that of the MD whopping dollar's monthly income is far better than laying them off.

This sack action by Access bank is honestly ill-advised and evil. Agreed, these are mainly out-sourced staff but they are human beings like other staff of the bank. Instead of the bank's 1billion naira donation to the FG for corona intervention, it should have kept that money, retain all the contract staff & place them on half salary or 60% salary till the situation returns back to normal. With that, it would have done a lot to reduce the various problems unemployment breeds. Every worker in Nigeria has a minimum of four dependants, on the average.
The CEO says he will take a cut of 40% in his salary, forgetting that even 5% of his salary will probably pay 10 or more of those contract staff. There is no human-face to most employers of labor in this country. Business especially at that level should not just be about profit, think of the lives and well-being of your employees too. Do all you can to get some people off the street, not push them into poverty at any slight excuse.
This action has rubbished the 1billion naira they gave the country.

mosbus:
The technician is right,even when buying a tokunbo automatic controlled compressor,you have to be very careful.
Reason is you don't know the millage of the car,where the compressor is dismantled from.
Such compressor is 50-50.

Thank you Oga Mosbus. Deeply appreciate you sir.

Thank you sir for your prompt answer.
A technician told me that compressor oil seal for cars that are automatic cannot be replaced if the leakage is from the compressor, that one must consider replacing the compressor either with another automatic or 'work' in one from a manual tranny. Vehicle in question is a Hyundai sonata 2009. And cost of the AC compressor is quite high.
Pls what is your view on this? Thanks again.

mosbus:
1,once you have low refrigerant in the system means there's leakage.most likely from your compressor oil seal.
2,idle low pressure without putting on the air conditioning is always 120 and above depending if the system is single or dual evaporat.

Well done Mosbus and thank you for the very educative thread.
Pls does low refrigerant level always mean there is a leakage in the system?
- Can the refrigerant level reduce without any leakage in the system?
- What should be the ideal refrigerant pressure for a car like Hyundai sonata?
- Lastly, is it advisable technical-wise to 'work' a/c to a car that didn't come with a factory fitted a/c?

Something you can do with ease after 4th of May, is what you are so strung up over. Well, different folks, different strokes. You won't die if that car is not available, I hope you know.

This is foolishness! And some ignorant ones still gave you 'likes'.

The current Covid-19 pandemic is a reality and Nigeria's affectation is not in doubt.
It is wishful thinking for anyone to believe that that covid-19 cases in Nigeria are just those tested & reported by ncdc. What we know of the pathogen, the disease spread, our population dynamics and cultural behavior in this country makes one convinced that there cannot at this time be less than a million cases of covid-19 in Nigeria, just that our testing capacity is unfortunately poor, even among fellow African nations.
What has been in our favor is the relative low fatality here. To think that the disease will not kill some people is also, painful as it may be, wishful thinking. That the numbers being reported as fatality by ncdc is not the true picture too should be obvious by now--- we all know we don't have ' reliable data' in this country. But let's even assume as being rumored that 150 people died within a week in Kano, a city of greater than 5million, should that be a cause for alarm? TB and Malaria kill more than that in a week. Covid is in Nigeria, that much we know but it is not as fatal here as some other nations of the world, if we persist in just doing what every other nation is doing ie lockdown the people, especially a majorly youthful population who are neither sick nor dying even though probably infected, the aftermath may be more than we can handle. I will for now ignore the sham nature of what we refer to as a lockdown that prevents economic activity but allows unbridled social interactions. We should worry about the aftermath of this covid response.
By aftermath, I refer to Loss of jobs, increased crime rate, reduced ability to care for health exigencies after covid due to low or no income, the recession and possibly depression that may result in the economy.
It is easy for civil servants who expect to be paid at month end to be passionate about 'lockdown'. If you depend on your daily sales and daily earnings to take care of your family and pay your bills, your perception of ' lockdown' as an option will change forever. Most of our populace operate in the informal sector of the economy for goodness sake. We need to look at the big picture.
The socioeconomic problems in the post-covid period is what the govt should be brainstorming about. If things continue the way they are going, even salaries are not guaranteed.
The talk of palliative for the people is just not realistic. How much food or money can the govt give to a family of 6 or 8 individuals? And for how long can the govt do this? The govt itself is broke yet doling out money it cannot sustain in the name of palliatives. Our response to this covid problem has not been tailor-made to our peculiar situation. And in that lie the folly of our approach so far.
We are hiding our heads in the sand but time has a way of 'kicking people's butts' and jerking them to reality.
May God help us to act in wisdom, and in time.
