Check and make sure none of your brakes are binding.
If none, replace thermostat. Do not remove but replace.

Lol.. It has been said here times without numbers, always get a scan tool.

Again always pay attention to details, your car have been giving you that noise but you ignore it.

As for the repair industry in Naija, we still have a long way to go, the annoying thing is these guys just don't want to upgrade, i mean how can you just decide to remain exactly where you are for years forgetting that technology evolves.

Imagine using 1999 knowledge to fix a 2019 problem.
For DIY, I follow scotty kilmer, the man is a funny man and also chrisfix among others.

There is no surprise that Arteta and Edu are looking to shore up our defense. This will be key to our success next season. My hope is that the players are up to the task. I also hope we get a decent DM and keep Ceballos. Then our squad will be complete.

Kbs468:
YES but Napoli is not giving up yet ooo

They even want to add our own sokratis papastathopoulos too ooo

Your Excellency Sir @elrufai,

Once again my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time and I pray you overcome the dreaded Covid-19.

Sir, in your statement announcing your status, you told us that you had earlier in the week given out
sample for testing, which
that even though you were asymptomatic, you had suspected otherwise - probably because of some persons you may have had contact with.

In the light of the above, Sir, I would like to ask you a few questions.
Why didn't you responsibly and immediately isolate yourself as your
counterparts in Bauchi and other states did while awaiting the test results?

Why did you go about your normal activities as if nothing was at stake?

Do you know that if truly you are positive for the disease, thousands across the state may have also contracted the virus through
you due to its reproduction ratio (RO) that research shows is 2-3?

Mr Governor, you held series of meetings with your cabinet members, you also went round the city trying to enforce the lockdown during which you had close contact with many: what were you thinking, Sir?
I am afraid but I have to be honest, Sir, you are either not telling us the truth or you were reckless. But if you are telling us the truth, then I must confess that you have exposed all of us in Kaduna to the virus either knowingly or unknowingly and that is grossly unfortunate.
Mr Governor, I think as a matter of urgency, the state government must deploy resources to get as many citizens of the state tested as possible, and with immediate alacrity, to reduce the risk of the spread of the virus. This should be done in a proper order from those who had
with you to those they had contact with. This test should be immediately before the 14 days upper incubation period is reached.

If this is not done, Sir, then I can assure you that all the commendable steps you have taken before yesterday's announcement will become useless and
counterproductive as the virus will be having a smooth ride in the state.

Once again, get well soon, Mr Governor.

CONTINUATION.

At about 4:35pm on 3rd of June 2019, d court registrar called d Prison to come & take me away as instructed by d Margistrate who had minutes ago denied me bail on bailable offenses.
I said a little prayer inside me 'God, please go with me, don't let them break me'.
The Kaduna convict Prison now Kaduna custodial center is a stone throw away from d Margistrate court situated along d Independence way Kaduna, in less than 1p minutes a young warden arrived d court, fortunately for me he has read about my ordeal online prior to now, we exchanged
pleasantries, he brought out his handcuffs and he said to me calmly, "Steve, am sorry I have to do this, no hard feelings bro"

I smiled & responded, no problem Sir, you are only doing your job.
He cuffed my hands and we made our way to d Prison yard which is about 5 minutes
trekking distance.

At d ancient Prison gate, I said another prayer silently 'Father, please take charge of my soul in this dungeon, don't allow my enemies to celebrate over me' after saying d prayers an idea obviously from above came to my mind & I made d following decisions;
1. I decided that I was going to give my mind d freedom my body was going to be denied in Prison
2. I decided never to treat any Prison official as an enemy
3. I decided I will keep fit physically, spiritually & otherwise
4. I decided I won't go on hunger strike for any reason.
All these prayer & decisions were done in less than 60 seconds.
After then, d gate was opened by a warden & I took d first step across d giant Prison gate, d gate behind me was immediately shut then my heart began to beat faster again, I sensed danger, my cuffs were unlocked,
another young handsome officer seated on a wooden chair is in charge of searching new inmates before they enter the main yard, to be frank, that young officer is very good at his job, he searches and detects exhibits even better than mechanized detectors. It was my turn to be
searched, I was thoroughly searched to d extent that not even a needle was left on me, personal effects like cash, belt, wrist watch etc were taken and documented at d gate, then another giant gate was opened for me to go in, I entered and behold I was one more gate to d main
yard, here I would be partially admitted as a prisoner by a lady warden. While waiting for my turn, a fierce looking officer shouted at me "my friend squat down", I quicky went on my toes, others followed suit, we were about 35 in numbers awaiting admission. Most of d inmates
were brought in from either the SARs detention facility or other police stations across d state, they were looking very unkept & their dresses dirty & smelling. I couldn't breath properly due to d stinking smells, reality dawned on me that these ones are going to be my cell mates


I was finally admitted though partially as d final admission is usually done in d morning when photograph can be taken.
Another young officer came & lead us into d main yard, behold I was finally in Prison, my eyes quickly sighted two opposite structures with d inscription '1915'
on them, they are the two armed robbery building each having 4 large cells big enough to contain hundreds of inmates (not the actual capacity). In-between them is d prison football pitch.
We made out way passed d pitch, it was already about 6pm by my estimation since my wrist
has been taken away from me at d gate.
Then we finally arrived a very large building with over 16 large cells on each floor (one storey building), d building I later got to know it to be Luxerious building or Gidan bredi (bread house) as d inmates call it.
We were then splitter
into smaller units, each taken to a cell already overcrowded, I was take to cell 9 on d last floor, I was asked to wait while d warden in charge of d building comes with d key, d entire building looks very unkept, flies were everywhere, then I saw something terrible while waiting
for d officer to come open d door for me, I saw a 'blackish soup like liquid being poured into dirty plates' arranged on each door, that is d soup prepared by our government for d inmates, on sighting it, my heart bleeds immediately, the aluta spirit in me woke up & I lost my
cool, and asked d inmate sharing d 'soup' angrily in Hausa language 'kai menene wannan (what is this)?'
he responded; "Miyan gabza ne senior" (it's soup for gabza my senior) gabza is d name they call food proaree with either maize or guinea corn powder. Another reality dawned
on me that this is going to be my meal if nobody is allowed to visit me, though my fear didn't materialize as friends, family and Nigerians from within and outside d country made sure I lacked nothing throughout my stay in jail.
The officer with d me eventually came & opened d
cell door and behold I was right inside my new abode, a dirty cell with 6 inmates inside, one of them nicknamed Zomo an Abia state indigene who is d cell leader shouted at me, "oboy u dey mad, remove your shoes jor, abi u think say na your palour be this?".

Wow! remove my shoes
on a dirty floor, okay now, I obeyed.
Then he read some stringent rules & regulations to me, he told me that this is not Nigeria, this is 'country no vex', what an irony! I saw you vexed few seconds ago and now u said this is country no vex, I said to myself silently though. Lolz
To be continued........

At about 2pm 10th of May 2019, an officer called my name from d counter, my personal effects were handed over to me, I was take to d @PoliceNG headquarters Kaduna where I was parades from officer to office starting from d commissioners officer, I felt dehumanized, my strength was
begining to fail me, I kept asking myself could this be the status quo? why am I being punished even before being declared guilty by a law court?
after parading me, they took me to an office where I was to be interrogated by a senior police officer.

While in d office, my friend
finally located me there after 72 hours of searching, they came alongside a lawyer who sat by throughout d interrogation.

At about 6:27pm on that day, d officer interrogating me instructed a junior officer to take me to d dreaded SARs detention facility where I was to spend d
weekend, d officer kept encouraging me to be strong & that this is a phase in my life that would soon be over.

On reaching d SARs facility which is a stone throw away from d headquarters, I was greeted by another bad odour oozing out from d visibly congested cells.
At d counter
I was told I could be admitted into d vip cell if I can pay, I asked how much & d officer told me #1,500. I paid & immediately my personal effects were documented as usual, then I was taken to d so called VIP cell, it was a tiny dark room with rubber mats on d floor without about
19 inmates on it, I was welcomed by Mr Ignetious an Imo state indigene who was d cell Governor, he read d rules & regulations to me as usual & told me that d sleeping Patten for me on that day would be J5, a Patten where one lies on his side while another fixes himself into your
belly & another dose same & so on.
In this cell there is neither toilet nor bathroom, inmates have to urinate on a white bucket kept by d wall, often times d bucket gets filled & d urine flow on d floor.
Now that is d VIP cell I paid #1,500 to stay in.

At about 8pm I had my
first meal in 72 hours, a little boy of about 11 years old was d supplier of poorly cooked meals, I enquired & was told d meal cost between #100 & #200 depending on how many meat one wants to eats. So I ordered to rice & 2 pieces of meat for #200. After about 1t minutes d young
chap brought d food & I collected it from him via d door bars, sat down to eat but d terrible smell of overflowed urine wouldn't let me to, after eating 5 spoons I gave d remaining food to Abdullahi a fellow inmate from Bauchi state.
He took d food & Sadi thank you in Hausa
language.
Then it was bed time, d cell Governor arranged us like canned � in d J5 pattern, it was to be d worst sleeping condition I ever had in my entire 30 years of existence on planet earth, I couldn't sleep all through d night, d smell of urine, d sound & bites from
mosquitoes & noice from d opposite cell made sleep impossible.

Fast forward to Monday 13th of May 2019, at about 9:23am my name was called from d counter & I was to be arraigned before a Margistrate court, I had earlier taken my bath all thanks to my cell Governor who made
arrangement for water & space outside d cell.

On getting to d counter, my friends were waiting for me with some new clothes, I changed my dress & we immediately left for d court.
The FIR was read to d court & d Margistrate granted me bail after some legal debates from both
Prosecution & defense counsel.
Bail conditions were met, my family & friends were excited, it was going to be party later in d night.
We left for home all happy but d happiness was going to be for only a few days.

4 days later I got a call from my lawyer telling me that d police
had informed him that they want to have a word with me, then I had already returned to my base in Portharcout, I told him I would be able to make it to d police next week which was to be a Tuesday 21st of May 2019, he said no problems.

On d said Tuesday, I & 2 friends drove to
d police station at Gabasawa, upon sighting me one of d officer called d attention of another who came & told me we were going to court for another petition written against me by a local government Chairman, I called my lawyer & he came. We got to d courtroom & d FIR was read,
prosecution counsel requested I be detained for 1r days I police custody to enable they d police conclude investigation, my lawyer seek for bail but d Margistrate refused, I was returned to Gabasawa police station where I would spend another 14 days in confinement.
On the 7th day, I woke up feeling depressed & I sent word to my IPO (investigative Police officer), he came & I told him to please allow my friends get me newspaper to read, he obliged & my friend got me a copy of @TheNationNews, d officer at d counter passed it to me in my cell
I sat down on d floor browsing through d paper only to find a quote which reads "the law is like a spider web, small things fall on it and get entrapped while big things fall and break through", that quote got me thinking deep.

A police officer who I later got to know is d SO
(station officer) passed & saw me reading d paper and shouted, "Who is reading newspaper there? Them bring you here to read paper ne? You are supposed to be thinking and not read paper here", he instructed d officer at d counter to collect d paper from me & he went away with it.
My heart sank back into depression, I felt horrible and dispirited, I wept even though tears didn't drop.

On 3rd of June 2019 on d expiration of d 1r days detention, I was taken back to court, d Margistrate this time around ordered I be remanded in Prison custody while my trial
continues, I was taken to the Kaduna Maximum Security prison established in 1915, it was another to be another long way to freedom where I would spend another 148 days in prison confinement.

The Prison was a far better place to stay compared to d police stations even though not
without her own terrible stories and experiences.

FRAUD IN ALL THE PARAMILITARY AGENCIES UNDER THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INTERIOR

The Honourable Minister,
Federal Ministry of Interior,
Abuja.

Dear Sir,

We are constrained to urgently bring to your notice, the perennial and undermining fraudulent acts being perpetrated by the leadership of all the paramilitary agencies and their shameless collaborators, before it gets out of hand.

We are not unaware of the relentless efforts the Federal Government to ensure that the welfare of all public servants in the country is adequately
taken care of.

But while the administration of President Muhammad Buhari keeps doing the needful in terms of improving the welfare of all officers and men of all the military and paramilitary agencies in the country, the incorrigible saboteurs in the corridor of leadership of all the paramilitary agencies in the Ministry of Interior are hellbent in swindling their hapless officers of their rightful financial entitlements.

Sir, the following are our prayers:

Sir, we want you to:

1. Probe into the use of all the financial aids accruing to all the agencies from foreign organizations in the last 5years. ICDO in the case of Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps.

2. Probe into the glaring disparity that exists in the emoluments of officers of the paramilitary agencies under the Ministry of Interior and that of the Police and other paramilitary agencies outside the Ministry.

3. Probe into the ridiculous and ludicrous payments of 2014 promotion arrears to officers and men of NSCDC, where individual officers got less than #4,000 in respect of over 2 years accumulated promotion arrears!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Level 12 officers ( CSC) were seen collecting #10,000 for their over-two-years promotion arrears.

4. Probe into the reason for the non implementation of the 2018 Salary Review in NSCDC, IMMIGRANTION, CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, which had been implemented in the Police and other Federal Government Agencies.

5. Probe into the callous, sadistic and arbitrary removal of the Shift Allowance from the salaries of NSCDC officers in the year 2016; and the incomplete refund of the said allowance. Shift Allowance refund for 8 months is still outstanding.

6. Probe into the non payment of promotion arrears 2016-2017 in all the agencies most especially NSCDC. And where claims of payment are presented, review the amount paid, which are usually infinitesimal. The promotion arrears for 2018 have yet to be paid, despite repeated orders for the payment from your esteemed office.

7. Probe the supposed payment of minimum wage arrears in NSCDC and other agencies in the ministry, where the hopes of officers are being dashed with the laughable amounts added to their already fretted salaries.

8. Probe into the inhumane manipulation of the January, 2020 salaries of all officers and men of NSCDC, IMMIGRATION and others through over hyped payment platform - IPPIS. About 45% of the individual salaries of all officers were deducted by the greedy heads and their collaborators under the guise "loan deduction ", which was neither applied for by any officer nor approved by any authorised agent of the Federal Government. This is daylight robbery! This the comeuppance of unchecked impunity and corruption in the ministry.

Sir, we are helpless. We are powerless. But we have the firm belief that you are sent to the ministry by the Almighty God to liberate us from the hand of the Pharaohs that are bestriding all the agencies under your ministry. Please sir, see to our pleas and do the needful.

Thanking you in anticipation of your swift and favourable response.

Yours in national service,

E-signed

All officers of all the paramilitary agencies under the Ministry of Interior.
