I love it.

When the military prevented Kanu from attending his court hearing by raiding his house, everyone supported the military. The Nigerian state turned around to hound his sureties. Folks remained mute. Oh well...Like they say, " evil thrives when the good ones do nothing"

Now it is Saraki's turn. They invited and prevented him from responding to provide an excuse to rope him in.

The devil you fail to tackle when you could will end up killing you. Saraki and his cohorts will learn the hard way. They thought they were doing Kanu not knowing they were fertilizing the soil that would swallow them.

OBJ vs. Atiku.

If you have power and don't know how to use it, the principal will decimate you. Atiku refrained from exercising his power to check OBJ and OBJ ended up castrating him politically.

Now Saraki knows what to do but chose to be a peacemaker to placate Buhari. Buhari will have him for lunch.

Why is the minister quoting the expenditure in US dollars to Nigerians? What happened to naira?

Those are her opinions.

Grammar, spellings, format and common sense are the only requirements. Get 10 HR personnel and they will come with different add-on expectations based on their personalities.

Izuogu1:
Great... This can never be seen by our leaders because of corruption

/
It is not about corruption. They are not equipped with the mental capacity to think beyond a certain level. Take a Nigerian, put him in the best academic environment and he will Excel with flying colours. Return the same Nigerian to Nigeria and he will never amount to anything in life because the environment suppresses any logical thinking/analysis. If you want to get the best out of Nigerians, put a foreigner in-charge to manage them.

If MMM can come all the way from Russia to clean out Nigerians, what makes one that folks such gullible neanderthals would not fall for the antics of Buhari and APC? The politicians understand that folks' loyalty ends with their last meal. So they chose not to reinvent the wheel...just keep the gullibility party rocking by any means necessary.

It looks like Honda Ridgeline.

A pickup driving like a Maybach? Isn't that the way Land Rover sucked some suckers into the redesigned freelander named Evoque. The early trend-chasers learned the hard way.

Nigerians like to cajol other Nigerians as being slaves in foreign countries.

However, the ones in Nigerians are the worst of slaves in their so-called fathers' land. A foreigner will fly thousands of miles away to come and lord over them with the support of the local law enforcement agents. Who are the slaves now?

maasoap:
How many years did he spend on power before the IBB's coup? Three years I guess! How many years could it take a corrupt Nigeria president to become a billionaire? It took Abdulsalam Abubakar less than a year!
Buhari's is an incorruptible man, his integrity radiates towards the four corners of the world.
Ruling Nigeria for good 3 solid years without owning a single oil block wasn't a mistake! Serving as a minister of petroleum or PTF chairman was enough make use of the opportunity previously lost. Kid, you are not thinking straight, your thought process is flawed.

/
So says Buhari's accountant.

You are the one in control of his accounts to know that he stole nothing from the treasury.

The integrity gimmick fell like a pack of cards with the grass-cutting fraud, Maina's recall and "coded" looting going on under his watch. Yep. He could have stolen under Abacha. Abacha was a one-man's army--paranoid to the core. Buhari dare not move funds under Abacha--the man that reduced ex-generals to weeping dogs. OBJ tried his shenanigan with Abacha and his ordeal is better imagined. IBB recoiled to his shell and remained mute under Abacha because he knew Abacha was the shiznit.

By the way, when you get home, don't forget to call your father a kid.

Ndonu101:
The man was not popular with the EU, UK or US due to his brutality

Nigeria was also facing sanctions from these countries

So it would not have been possible to host such a dictator

Don’t spin this reality into some pan African foreign policy. Abacha did not have a foreign policy and only cared about remaining in office forever

/
US will never turn her back on a leader because of brutality. They supported Sadam Hussein, Gaddafi, etc until US "interests" are at stake. Dictator is the bad name they tag a dissenter before they overthrow him. Believe their PR media at your own peril. Do they abhor dictators? Why are they negotiating with Russia and North Korea?

/

Buhari couldn't care less. He has achieved his goals. IBB, OBJ, Abubakar and other generals retired as billionaires. IBB denied him that opportunity with the coup against him. He came back and became a billionaire too. Financially, he is at par with his fellow generals unlike before. He will not have to move around begging for funds like it used to be back then. The weeping has stopped. He was weeping at missed opportunities but Nigerians thought he was weeping for them.

Not true.. Cars now last longer than ever . we now have engines lasting for hundreds of thousands of miles. I have put almost 50,000 miles on my 2003 Camry in 3 yrs. No major faults excepts shocks, brakes, stabilizer links, transmission ,radiator and brake flush. Just got on my second set of tyres . I intend to put another 50k Miles before I let go.

You can't beat a Toyota for reliability even though I intend to get an acura next

/
With all the faults you listed above, what else are you expecting?

Transmission? Manual gear is awesome and easy to fix. No. Cars are not lasting longer. If they do, manufacturers will go out of business. Some of them go as far as putting proprietary parts in cars that you can only get from their dealership.

Most importantly, maintenance is the key. Although some cars require TLC than others until the owner gives up. You want to put another 50k in a 2003 Camry before letting it go. Why? I mentioned 1990 300E still going strong and you can't wait to let go of 2003. In other words, you surreptitiously agreed with my points.

/
Humans are political beings. Politics is not only about campaign and election.

In other words, you are asking: Are Christians supposed to be humans?

Nigerians are always trying to extend religion beyond its original target. Christianity gave one mile but Nigerians are pushing for 100 miles.

What's next? Are Christians supposed to eat? After all, food is a thing of the world. SMH.

FestacGirl:
Is Toyota as Reliable as we try to make it seem in this country ?.

I've come to realise it's very easy to diagnose and the China inferior parts are everywhere Hence the reason why people think the parts are cheap.

I've used quite a few toyota's and I can say they are not very solid as people try to make it seem.

I had a 2007 camry bought from the states . Started shorting oil after 9 months. This is a very common problem with this model but people never mention it.
Ps I used the recommenfed oil, Mobil 1 from USA 5w-30

The almighty corolla we love so much is quite durable. But the suspension components are garbage and within a while the suspension noise will start.
The original parts are not even cheap.
But if you patronize the cheap Chinese you might get them cheap but they give away so fast.

I'm currently using a 2008 Highlander V6 2gr (picked it over the rav4 and rx330 ) Bought it 2 months ago.

This vehicle has only 120k original miles. The movement is very quick I must say .
On the glass it states the former owner has been servicing with 5w-20 Castrol and I was lucky to find couple of service history receipts in the glove compartment.
The car has been taken cared of well. But I noticed quite a few perks in a car of such miles. It makes the dreaded grinding noise at start up. I already changed the oil with 5w-20 Mobil but still same.

Why would a car of this mile be having vvti issues then I searched Internet . This is a common issues with this vehicle, The rav4 v6 , highlander v6 , auRion and Co .
From 2006 -2010 .
Toyota didn't issue any recall infact I found out it was a night mere for most users as they sold theirs when he noise started.

I also have foul smell from the exhaust when I accelerate . My catalytic converter is in good condition. No Cel . Most people also complain of this issue on the rav4 and highlander from as low as 30k miles.

This smell is scary because even with the windows up I smell it in the interior.


Their are loads of shitty issue I've noticed on toyota but people will ignore because of the hype.

The 2gr I heard is over 500k.

The camry 4plug engine is over 250k and it's not very durable.
** Start up sounds even from using the right oil
** Burning oil .
** The engine is also quite lazy.


I feel this brand is over hyped.
And people spend hundreds repairing this cars but they don't find anything wrong in doing that.
But if it was a Honda with such problems they would give it names.



If it was a Honda or Nissan it would have been crucified.

/
The business model of Auto industry has changed. Everything has expiry date. They expect you to trade in a car after 100k miles and take a newer model. Cars are not made as sturdy and reliable as they used to be. The manufacturers are more interested in aesthetics, entertainment, comfort than reliability which is why they load newer cars with electronic gadgets, sensors, etc that drive owners nuts when they develop problems. You will see a 1990 Mercedes 300E still going strong but a Toyota Camry 2003 will look like something out of a dumpster. By the way, I don't think car manufacturers have Nigeria roads in mind when they put their cars together. Roads in Nigeria could be classified as off-road. Vehicles plying them should have reinforced suspension. But do they? No.

When you think about this guy and Evans, the question is: Do you really have an idea how anyone makes money?

Presenting to you, the Europe inside Enugu

The Oaklands hotels........

Nice but pricey.

They have exquisite finishes on the interior.

I stayed three nights there until someone mentioned something about some children's death (I don't know the details). It seems that folks are shying away from this hotel due to bad publicity or perhaps the price....very sad, I must say.

Anything that is bound to kill a black is glorified in Nigeria. Potbelly, backneck "canter", alcohol, gambling, betting, every other vices known to man. A bigman in Nigeria can never be an apostle of D.I.Y. It will be more honorable for him to die from ailments related to sedentary lifestyle than have a minor injury from physical activities.
Patapata heart attack. Who cares? There will always be someone in the village to blame for the death. Wanna prove you are rich in Nigeria? Be a couch potato.

Shukusheka:
4. Try to sit next to an aggressor: if you do want to avoid an aggressive confrontation with someone, you just have to take a seat right next to them. The close proximity will make the aggressor less likely to have a go at you, as they will not feel comfortable with showing aggression to someone so close. I use this trick often in hot meetings.

Does this apply to SARS?

Jung:
That's the essence of the brand sir. The dress sense, the hairdo, all of it is what sells for them sir. Do not impose your views on others sir.

Bye sir.

I beg you, you don't have to reply me. I haven't eaten and I'm in a tempestuous mood this morning sir.

Everything with advantages comes with disadvantages.

Your look, your brand equals SARS beatings, extortion.

Money deposited in the bank is no longer your money.

You deposit with the hope that they will have it when you need it.

I guess the lady couldn't believe that she had to go through this to get her money.

Urinating in public... defecating in the bush.

Dropping trash like it is no man's business.

Your wish will be 100% granted. No one can force you to go to heaven. It's your choice you've got it all made!

However, note that the door to heaven is still wide open waiting for you to enter. God's love for you cannot change.
Here are some few Life Road signs along the pathway of life:

1 Timothy 2:3-6 (NKJV)
"3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved
and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God
and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,.."

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NKJV)
2 For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

1 Corinthians 1:18 (NKJV) - Christ the Power and Wisdom of God

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Don't defend Bible stories with quotations from the Bible.

It is like being a prosecutor, defendant and judge in your own case. Evidence outside of the Bible will be more credible.

/
Warning anyone will only yield barrage of insults.

It is best to let them learn the hard way.

/

/
I don't know where Nigerians get this twisted idea that the pastors care about salvation.

They are businessmen whose only interest is money. They only use the Bible as a tool to lure givers and make them lower their guards. Mechanics have tools. Builders have tools. All in the pursuit of money. Pastors have Bible to make ends meet. Interested in salvation? Go on your knees and talk to God directly.

So much love for Abiola their brother.

They were taking turns kneeling or singing high praises to the ears of Abacha.

/
I hope he didn't sleep with him.

There is a rumour that Okorocha swings both ways.

So even if they want to build cattle ranches, they will give the contract to an international firm while we have more than enough construction companies in Nigeria?
Femi Adesina is shameless. Something is definitely wrong with African people's brain.

Spit on Nigeria.

Engine or transmission problem.

When the owner of such expensive car says "I will bring money for the parts next week",...

it means "keep the car. I will see you after rapture"

There are many high end vehicles abandoned at mechanic workshops in Nigeria.
