They bleeped up that year
Recall that EXXONMOBIL test period
When boys were predicting and releasing future questions for on line.

Major companies would always shy away from integrity issues and this certainly reduces patronage.


That is why I always tell industry captains, please make sure you take and put your staff welfare as number 1. Give them the best salary packages so they would not be compromised.

Those days you will see dragnet staff looking so hungry and unkempt! Even the degree holders amongst them and ubthink say to work for chevron abd exxonmobil no sweat them abi.?

I wrote that test... That was the beginning of their downfall

FoolishBoy419:
Please go back to the cooking section and let those with brains discuss military capabilities. Boko Haram, Bandits, Ipob, etc utilize what is known as GUERILLA WARFARE. This cowardly but highly effective tactics was actually used in Vietnam to defeat USA. Also, even the mass shootings in America can be described as Guerrilla because you never know where your enemy is, where he will attack or at what time.

Conventional warfare is entirely different and even though Israel is much more powerful than Nigeria, it doesn't have enough resources to conduct a full-scale invasion. How many bombs will it take to ruin Nigeria and how many does Israel possess? They have to use ground troops and the moment that happens, they are toast.

There is a reason Hezbollah was able to beat them in 2006.

culled from wikipedia:

The conflict is believed to have killed between 1,191 and 1,300 Lebanese people,[58][59][60][61] and [b]165 [/b]Israelis.[62] It severely damaged Lebanese civil infrastructure, and displaced approximately one million Lebanese[63] and 300,000–500,000 Israelis.[64][65][66]

culled again:
Ceasefire
Further information: Ceasefire attempts during the 2006 Lebanon War

Israeli soldiers of the Nahal Brigade leaving Lebanon
Terms for a ceasefire had been drawn and revised several times over the course of the conflict, yet successful agreement between the two sides took several weeks. Hezbollah maintained the desire for an unconditional ceasefire,[168] while Israel insisted upon a conditional ceasefire, including the return of the two seized soldiers.[169] Lebanon frequently pleaded for the United Nations Security Council to call for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. John Bolton confirmed that the US and UK, with support from several Arab leaders, delayed the ceasefire process. Outsider efforts to interfere with a ceasefire only ended when it became apparent Hezbollah would not be easily defeated.[170]

On 11 August 2006 the United Nations Security Council unanimously approved UN Security Council Resolution 1701, in an effort to end the hostilities. It was accepted by the Lebanese government and Hezbollah on 12 August 2006, and by the Israeli government on 13 August 2006. The ceasefire took effect at 8:00 am (5:00 am GMT) on 14 August 2006.[171]

Before the ceasefire, the two Hezbollah members of cabinet said that their militia would not disarm south of the Litani River, according to another senior member of the Lebanese cabinet,[98] while a top Hezbollah official similarly denied any intention of disarming in the south. Israel said it would stop withdrawing from Southern Lebanon if Lebanese troops were not deployed there within a matter of days.[172]

keep on deceiving yourself

Isreal that lost almost all wars they had involved in except a couple.

Isreal that was defeated by the Babylonians and sent on exile, Isreal that was defeated by the Philistines except when under David, Isreal that was defeated by the Romans, burnt their temple and sent on exile. Isreal that was defeated by the British.

And some ignorant christian who had never read any other book outside the Bible as interpreted by his pastor is spewing rubish.

Isreal was created by the UN and sustained by the west - US, UK and france. If the US should withdraw its protection and support of Isreal, the Jewish state would be a sitting duck. What do you think is reason Arab country hate the US, is it not because of its support of Israel?

Black ma sef... So God loves Israel more than blacks? He did not choose Africans but whites? Why? Because Bible told you so?


So if Isreal is God's people, what are you? Devil's people?

The Nigeria Army with highly sophisticated technology and the Fulanis in command can defeat Isreal!!

Inferiority complex had Made Black people underrate themselves so much that we now see white people as superior beings.

All thanks to religion!!

The way religion has beclouded most people's sense of reasoning is quite shocking!!

Mehn.. I will need some of that dried cowshit you are smoking

The hallucination it is giving you is topnotch!

The same coward Fulani hiding behind federal might?
The same Fulani that are the willing bitc.hes of the British government?
The same Fulani that win wars through deception and was mercilessly beaten by the old Oyo empire?

Arrewa:
If he's guilty of any crime...He should face Justice!!

Why are Africans overating Israel??

Before Christ, Romans conquered Israel, even during his time, Israel was occupied by the Romans.

At little after Jesus the Jews made the Romans angry and they massacred the jews, drove them away from Israel. for about 2000 years from then, the jews were second class citizens every where they go.

The christians persecuted them for what they did to Chris, the Arabs were flogging their yansh any time they deemed fit. Hitler did his own. Till the Europeans decided to have mercy on them and create a state for them.

Check out the 1948 war, 6 day 1967 war , the

The so called 6 day war only succeeded because the Arabs just gained independence and didn't had any air force nor good military. The Europeans trained and gave Isreal weapons, especially their air force.

The only time Israel met a strong force Hizbollah backed by Iran they lost.

Israel look strong around its Arab neighbors, beyond that, its a different game entirely.
You see, the Persians or Iranians (as they are called today) aint arabs, they walk the talk, if u know what I mean...for far too long now, they've been daring Israel to stop barking and attack them as it has been saying it would for God knows how long now.

But nothing has happened, you know why? because Israel dont have the balls to fight a formidable opponent without bigdaddy USA military support. And the support is not forthcoming either, because a war with the Persians is too risky even for the US.

US can not sacrifice the lives of its citizens to go die for your "mighty" Israel over Iran. So the US snubbed Israel and chose to dialogue with the Iranians over their Nuclear program.

The only hands preventing isreal's defeat are those of America, Britain and the western world. If US remove their support, Israel is dead!!


Anybody that really thinks that God loves some other people more than he likes him or that some other people are more of Gods children than him is a sophisticated Akuya!!

With an Unbiased mind,Go and read about the 1948 war, 6 day 1967 war , the 1973 yom kippur war and revert

We are talking about the state of Israel here. All the arabs surround Israel are his bi.tches now

Why is Toyota engine so expensive? Honda is so cheap? I need to runaway from toyata Asap

Some hyundai engines can buy tinylight camry

sonnie10:
You are still in this matter. The owner got a 10% discount by using the strategy he got here from knowledgeable project managers.
He even came back to give thanks and testify.
Who wouldn’t? after knocking off like 500k from #4.8 that he was quoted.
Now with this #2.8m estimate you have, he would have gotten 2 foundations.

We need more enlightenment on matters like this for all.He is not just helping the poster but others who are in similar quagmire.

It guides us in making better and more informed decisions.

autologic:
The so- called B.eng shows the decay level and rots in our educational system and we can't use this semi illiterate guys as yard stick ,cos they are engineers on paper, no innovative ideas that solve practical problems.
Modern cars have gone so much sophisticated technologic wise that it takes science oriented geeks to handle them .
I had had opportunity to attend a lot of automotive seminars and workshop abroad and I sees alot of professors and PhD holders running a auto workshop and coming out with lot of high level testing methods and contributing innovative ideas into the industry just because their society value system strive on science knowledge that solve practical problems unlike own which is why you see the artisans handling what the science guys are suppose to take charge .
Seriously the artisans "kazeem" have no business handling sensitive parts cos their mind can't just comprehend those high tech stuff ,and you the car owner will be putting yourself at risk as well.

My friend.

Do not generalize.

PrinceFola:
Yes

Thermostat has been removed.

Very likely fan has been connected directly.

Replace thermostat, revert cooling fan connection to factory spec, else you will cry when subsidy is removed.

Be sure you car does not have overheating history.

Folorunsho15:

Kwarrect

As a mexican friend used to say :

No money no honey cabron!

Wish2Die:

silibaba:
keep on paranbulating

Let me shock you, he is not.

This is one of the brilliant explanations you can get regarding this phenomenon .

Nice one by the way, fellow Engineer.

I can authoritatively say that this man is 10 times better than Buhari

and they want to remove subsidy from fuel... Make dem try am first

Nonybb:
Are you living in UAE like the rest of us? Do you know the enormous crime of INDIANS and what they do here and yet it is covered. Whenever a black man commits offense, they took it upon them as the general case of Africans. Pathetic racism country we live in. You can't tell me what is happening here cos you ain't here

But that is not a license to commit offence. Why did they not blacklist other African countries?

Nezzjnr:
Save in USD... Do you guys know how expensive the rates are

If you have no business with Dollars transaction.... Why should it be a burden to you.

You people should spend more time in the Treasury Bills section before dishing out advice

True...But you are forgetting one little problem...we are not yet self sustaining when we talk of Productivity... even up to the petrol you put in your car, meaning we are still heavily dependent on Imports, given our current population statistic. The implication to this is that the economy is already dollarised without most of us realizing it!

The FG is struggling with subsidy right now due to the current exchange rate quagmire.

Manufacturers are considering leaving the country to neighboring ones due to 'dollarization' of gas prices

With the current nonsensical economic policies the FG is dishing here and there, the current high levels of insecurity that is a nightmare to investors and driving farmers away from their farms, and the heating up of the polity by the Nepotistic Head of state, please how would anyone in his right mind think the the Naira stands a chance? If nothing is changed, The situation will only get worse. Thing is, given the current economic realities, The Naira has not even found its true value yet!
Oil price is increasing, yet we are not seeing the benefits due to the heavy loan payback(Debt to GDP ratio currently stands at 35%). This alone is putting tremendous pressure on The Naira.

So my brother, let us tell ourselves the truth. Unless these people in power change their ways and methods in tacking these concerns, it will not get any better.

The current rates are crazy, but in two years (if this idiots in power maintain status quo), what we are having now will be a child's play.

o boy!

The scary thing is that you are simply stating the inevitable

I only pray that it takes much longer than that ( like 5 years )

Right now the sure 2 ways of beating Inflation in Naija is

1. Save in USD
2. Invest in real estate (lands in good/ promising locations especially)

any other one na scam.

Naija don cast!

3.5 mil

Well said. Infact users rate the diesel engine as far more reliable than the petrol engine

I have since been looking at one 2004 BMW X3 2.0D (E83) with flirty side eye for a while

When the time is right, i will gladly make her my side chick

Personally, I would go and learn the ropes of being a diesel mech, get a network(reliable) of parts suppliers , then happily buy the diesel.
