Ikeja is something else. yesterday I visited computer village to get some softwares. Imagine 3 patrol police vans raiding people with laptops and desktop computers. An elderly man was also pushed into the Van. No questioning, nothing. Once they sight u carrying a laptop bag, then u are meant for them. Also they harass young guys on bikes. Along that ikeja round about. Once they sight u on a bike, you would be stopped and if you have no cash to give them. My dear, na cell get u dat day. We need to rise up in one voice and put an end to this police menace in nigeria especially in lagos. Even sef, dem dey stop young guys wey dey drive car. Begin ask unnecessary questions about how u got the car. This and dat.

Do we have GAYS in Super eagles, Flying eagles 2 ? Lol, Old news, We all know that.

Hope say no be the Money wey dem pay KEVIN & UTI for Big Brother Africa dem wan use style collect back from us. In SA and other african countries, they dont charge dis much. But Dem dey finish us Nigerians just because we dont have a government. May God help us.

A banker, Mr. Pius Effiong, who was injured in a cross-fire between two police teams, has threatened to sue the Nigeria Police Force for allegedly abandoning him at the National Hospital, Abuja.


Effiong’s left leg was amputated as a result of gunshot injuries he suffered when two teams of policemen engaged themselves in a shoot-out in error while attempting to rescue a kidnapped victim in March 2010.


Six police officers were also wounded during the incident with a few of them losing their eyes and sense of hearing. All of them are still receiving treatment in a hospital.


Effiong, 33, said that he was on his way to work when he was accosted by some policemen and arrested on suspicion that he was a kidnapper. He added that he showed the policemen his identity card and explained to them that he was an employee of Think Microfinance Bank Limited, Abuja, but they ignored him.


He said he was beaten by the policemen, who bundled him into their unmarked black Toyota vehicle.


“As the policemen were driving away, another group of plain-cloth policemen blocked the vehicle and shot at it, thereby injuring everyone in the car. My legs and shoulders were shattered,” he said.


Effiong’s lawyer, Afam Osigwe of Law Forte Chambers, said his client was putting on the bank’s promotional T-shirt, while his identity card hung on his neck when the incident happened.


The lawyer added that when the second group of the policemen realised their error, they took Effiong and the injured policemen to Asokoro District Hospital and later to the National Hospital.


He said during treatment, Effiong’s leg was amputated from the knee due to the damage inflicted by the gunshot.


Osigwe said as a result of the long period of absence from work due to hospitalisation, Effiong lost his job with the bank.


He alleged that the police refused to contribute further to his treatment despite several letters written to them by Effiong’s relations, lawyers and erstwhile employers.


“The permanent disability suffered by Effiong has caused him the loss of amenities of life, while he still suffers from excruciating recurring pains from the injuries,” Osigwe added.


But the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Moshood Jimoh, on Sunday said Effiong was not arrested, but was hit by stray bullets during the shoot-out between the policemen who were attempting to rescue a kidnapped victim.


He said the police had spent millions of naira on the victim “to the point of taking him abroad for further treatment,” stressing that the FCT Commissioner of Police, Mr. Haruna John, and other senior officers had visited the banker in the hospital to show their support.


Jimoh contended that instead of going to court, Effiong should channel his grievances to the police authorities through the officer that was attached to him.


He said, “We did not abandon Effiong. We have spent so much money on him. We have spent millions of naira on his hospitalisation, but if he has any complaint, he should channel it to the authorities through the officer attached to him.


“The incident that occurred affected six of our men and a few of them lost their eyes and sense of hearing and they are still being hospitalised. We are doing our best to take care of all of them. These kind of things happen all over the world, even in the military; it is a friendly fire.”

When I put any CD into my Car 6 loader CD player, it tries to read the CD, then the display says "Disc ERR" and spits the CD back out or it would just be blinking the Error Message. It is the stock CD player that came with the car. Its a Honda 2003 EOD. How do I fix this? Any solution ?

pete11213:
The worst internet so far in Nigeria is zoom, its not always connecting and might be too slow at times, u better run fast.

Thanks for the brief info. Kindly suggest another reliable network one can subscribe. I've "X'ed" ma mind off zoom from what u guys just said.

Fogman:
Run away from Zoom, it is very very ineffective.

Kindly tell me, what other connection can one replace with starcomms that is effective cos starcomms is really trying my patience with their slow connection.

Please House, I need your view about zoom internet connection. Starcomms has been messing up lately going on and off. I need to change my ISP to another network. Someone told me about how reliable zoom is. People please kindly confirm this or better still, what other network is good to subscribe to. I am a database admin and i stay online 24/7 which means i would need to better service 24/7. Hoping to hear back from you guys.

Onwan:
It's always something small BUT one needs a good power steering mechanic to have a look. That's why Im recommending Yemi.

How much does an engine seat cost. I just discovered 2 of the engine seats are badly damaged. And i was told by my mechanic that I need to service the power steering rack. pardon the way i spell it if am not correct. How much does a tokunbo engine seat go for ?

Please, can someone tell me the cost of a 2003 EOD Engine seat. Tokunbo.

seal777:
waow, thats a sorry tale, your description of whats wrong with your car seems similar to that of a taxi cab or tipper and not an i-v tech .

I drive an i-v tech too but not V6, the V6 car i drive is a toyota camry and i will be proud to introduce my mechanic to you cos he has been very good in handling my car since there are few mechanic out there who handles higher cylinder cars very well.

HIS NAME IS OKEY, PHONE NUMBER 08023844673 and his workshop is at KILO in surulere.

Call him and tell him you re from KB, he will remember. Better still you let me know when you intent coming around so i could assist youso they dont treat you like just any other customer. seal4all@yahoo.com

Thank you very much for the information. I'll give him a call and set an appointment with him. Will give you the feed back as soon as am able to do that.

Can someone pls introduce a good mechanic that can work on my EOD 2003 V6 Engine. All the mechanics i've been meeting are just using my car as a sort of white rat for experiment. Please come to my rescue. Instead of the fuel consumption to reduce, its more than a nightmare. The engine light is on. The Powering Steering pump is bad wasting the oil and therefore become stiff. The engine becomes extremely hot when turned on for a short period of 5mins. The engine vibrates. The fans are more than noisy. Inshort, these so called mechanics don scatter my motor no more car. Abeg make una help me o! I reside in Lagos. Abule Egba area.

Cos I do chicken right, oopppss, i mean chics and am 25inchs long.

Onwan:
@OP

080.2345.5209 (His name is Yemi), that's the man you want.

Thanks, I'll give him a call. Hope he's within lagos

obojo:
its obvious that there is a leakage, hope that is from one of the hoses and not the steering rack, when you said you replaced it, what exactly did you replace?? the power steering pump or what,

I replaced the power steering pump and the noise still continues each time i turn the steering,

I need help with my 2003 EOD power steering. My power steering has been disturbing me for some weeks now with this lousy noise its making, so i had to replace it with another one (Tokunbo) Hoping it will stop, but it has refused to stop, the noise continues and after a long drive of about 30mins, it will reduce and the steering itself becomes hard while driving. Also, i noticed the ATF reduces instantly while driving. Each time i turn the steering, it makes a very loud noise that gives me concern. I wud appreciate your help or better still if there's any good mechanic in lagos that can work perfectly on EOD 2003 cars.

@Y'all: 1st of all, I had a problem during the raining season when I drove my car into a ditch with water, it affected the kick which i changed and ever since then, the Engine Check lite has been on. 2ndly, d distance I cover everyday is like from Yaba to VI everyday with ma AC. Also, I don't reset the Milieage meter and I only change my oil during the service of my car every 3months. When I bought this car tokumbo, it wasn't consuming fuel dis much, but ever since I Changed my Kick, it became a nightmare for me.

I'm having problems with the way my V6 EOD consumes fuel. A fuel of 2000 will only last me for A day and half. How can I manage this, someone pls rescue me. This is getting out of hand.

Whats the difference between cars that are labelled "EX" & "LX", also my v6 EOD consumes a whole lotta fuel. How can i manage dis ? Pls come 2 my rescue.

His Humanitarian Service alone is enough for me to like him. How many pastors have done what he's doing today, rather, they enrich their pockets buying cars and jets. Wanting to move to VGC. Who can tell me the history of John the baptist, who is his pastor ?

Heard the news over the radio that their's something weird about dis ball. u send it somewhere and it goes elsewhere. It has a mind of its own, hahahahahaha. Am sure the ball would be in support of the 5 african nations and score itself for us.

honeric01:
Who are the "everyone" you're talking about here?

Green ( England's goalkeeper), Algerian keeper, most england players and even our own Etuhu. If you follow sport news very well, u'd notice they've been complaining about the ball before the beginning of the tournament,

Everyone is complaining about the 2010 World Cup Ball, What's actually wrong with the ball ? You send it on a direction and it goes a different way.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8737661.stm

No be say when him don die now(God forbid) like da grin and michael jackson dem go begin play him song for radio and tv stations and then start saying all kinds of good things about him. I've been in search of his album all over the place without success of finding it except for his little patience album. Any Information about this legendary ? We need to start caring for people like him who are legends in the music industry.

I have this cough for like 2months. Its goes and comes back. What drug can I use to stop it from coming back. Presently, I'm using Emzolyn syrup.
