AutoMoTech:
but the guy never mentioned if the vehicles in question here used the extended performance.
Itsrm will you be kind to shed more light on the exact oil used here.

It was not even about that. The first seller mostly sells the normal Mobil good for 10,000 miles.

The second usually sells extended performance for vehicles above 75k miles and good for 20,000 miles.

Both oils caused sludge.

What did I just read?

Lasuth has 30 Bed spaces for emergency cases and they are almost always filled with patients?

Omo! Make una take care of una health o; This is the CMD of the hospital telling u that u fit no get bed space if u have an emergency health issue and u are rushed there for treatment.

Same story with LUTH

One time an accident victim was referred from FMC abeokuta to Luth, he made it to the hospital but died while waiting to be attended to because there was no bed space

I once shared the story of a friend who survived cancer. When he went into coma and was referred to Luth, they spent 3 hours in the vehicle that brought him because there was no bed.

It took the intervention of some of their church members who made calls to the high places before they got him a bed.

Luth is more or less the only decent hospital with the best equipment and doctors in the whole of the South West. All critical and emergency cases end up in Luth.

I normally do an engine flush on any car that I purchase. This gives me a baseline. You might need to change your oil more frequently.I use Shell Rotella T6. It has more detergents in it. It should help with your sludge issues too. Bolt is a more punishing duty cycle than your privately driven car.

Where do you get this from?

And I agree with the last part. Ehailing can be very harsh on cars.

FBS:
So safe to say that Wike is the man of the/his/Rivers people?

Yes, till he rigged PO out

Now everybody dey vex

larride:
I heard hes owing pension, is it true?

Yes but they are arrears that have been owed before he even came on board. I also know that he has started clearing it. The first batch has been concluded and the last I heard on radio was that those in the second batch have been invited for clearance at the state secretariat.

AutoMoTech:
Hmmmm this is very interesting.
So wait... Engines came in looking clean no issues. But gets to Nigeria being used for e-hailing and boom the engine don crase again.
Shey na out weather ni abi wetin dey occur gan gan?
because I want to believe the oils used were imported Mobil 1 and they should have been good quality oils.
Would he interesting if we're able to narrow down the specific cause of this sludge build up.

Yes they were imported Mobil 1.

Infact, when the first incidence happened, I thought the first seller sold fake oil to me so I stopped buying from him and switched to the usual 20w 50.

When I imported the second vehicle, it came in with less than 110,000 miles. I started buying oil and filter from the second seller. Oil was changed every 5000 miles. To my surprise, same sludge issues after a couple of months.


Now I just use 20w50 and change every 2500 miles.

Funny thing is, same oil from the same seller in two other vehicles (a J32 engine and a VQ37 ) with oil changes every 5000 miles do not have any sludge issues. These ones are privately driven and not used for ehaling.

Apparently, it's not the seller. It's either from the IZZ Fe engine as others have said or something to do with what the vehicle is being used for(ehailing)

FBS:
Man just no send anybody.
I also watched him hailing Seyi Makinde.
Governor with a capital G.
Question - has he really served the people of Rivers state well?

Some will disagree but Wike has done extremely well.

You will hardly see a single pothole on all major roads in PH. Infact, this is the first time I've seen a governor commissioning internal roads because there's hardly anything left to do on the major roads.

Most of us living around places where he has commissioned internal roads have tarred roads running through the front of our gates.

The last time I went to Ibadan, I realised I had been enjoying a lot of things without even realising it. If you see the thick traffic within town at 12pm, you won't believe it. And it's not a one off, it was a regular occurrence. This is almost impossible in PH. You can have pockets of traffic during rush hour but quite rare during the day.

The other day Lar.ride said he leaves the office by 4pm and gets home by 6pm. Except in very rare cases, If I leave anywhere in PH by 4pm, I should should get to my house in a maximum of 45 minutes.

If you visit the state owned hospital(BMH) and the federal owned(UPTH) its very easy to see which is well funded. It's the same thing with the State owned university (RSUST) and the federal( UNIPORT). The ambience and infrastructure is incomparable.

I even heard that( I haven't confirmed) lecturers in RSUST earn more money than their counterparts in UNIPORT. This is very rare.

I can go on and on but hand don dey pain me

The one part people have always blamed him is the lack of employment into the civil service since he became governor. He has now directed the employment of 10,000 workers into the civil service.

But wait, governors fit talk like this? This kind fearlessness, I never see am before oo!

Nah, only one governor talks like this .

I'll be glued to the morning show on Arise to see how Abati and co will respond.

Epistle incoming

9icetoo:
Now this is a cause for concern. One more question, did he buy these oils from reputable filling stations for eg in the case of Castrol, did he buy the oil from Eterna filling station or from the open market?
His OCI is very good. However, i need to ask two more questions on that, does he frequently drive short distances i.e less than 10km during each of the drives and has his cooling system been tropicalized (bypassed and thermostat removed)?

If he has been buying oils from the open market, then the sludge was inevitable. If he frequently drives short distances and has bypassed his cooling system, then the sludge was also inevitable.

I've had direct experiences with two different vehicles I imported myself using the same 1ZZ-FE. Vehicle engine came in clean as a whistle. Mobil 1 Oil was bought from two of nairalands biggest importers, the oil was religiously changed every 5k miles but to my greatest surprise, both vehicles developed sludge after a while.

I have to also add that both vehicles were used on bolt. I don't know if that was a factor. Thermostat was intact and there was no abuse.

Donjazet2:
I hope you're not celebrating this man.

See how this man is bragging about rigging the elections?
Is this man not a fool like this?

We know that labor party captured some house of reps seat in Lagos bit watch how he's bragging about overturning it. He talks too much, like a fool.

Let's see if this court will do the right thing sha..
Everybody with a brain knows he rigged the election. Let his mouth be the direct evidence in court.

Abeg shift

If we ask you to bring where he bragged to have rigged the election, you will run away.

Wike blowing hot

Turns out that Ameachi voted for Atiku and instructed his men to vote Atiku with the hope that power will shift to the South once Atiku is done.

Safe to say that Amaechi is politically dead

larride:
The trick is to always leave work early if you can.

When i was working at Maryland, i always make sure i leave before 4 and most times i get home at Ikorodu before 6.

Even this one na still suffer

BlueRayDick:
Lagos na crazy place to live in Aswear . The person wey share his experience with me has : different cars at home o, but cos of the traffic he had to be using the boats. Na after one month he share the incident with his wife , that one wan craze say na so breadwinner for go 😩

Guess what ? The incident happened on Friday and by Monday he was already hopping on the boat again cos of Lagos traffic .

This is why I will never return to that place except the job pays in foreign currency and I can afford to rent a house not more than 20 minutes drive from where I work

Those who say Lagosians are just surviving and not living are not far from the truth

BlueRayDick:
What most people who ply that route regularly do is get their own personal life jacket they keep in their backpack anytime they leave home. That way they are sure of being safe in the event of boat mishap .

However , what I believe is mostly responsible for he boat mishaps are the sorry state of the boats . I learnt it’s the big boat owned by Lagos state government that is safest ; the other ones owned by private operators are smaller and older . Someone once share his experience with me , he said the boat engine fell into the middle of the lagoon . The boat operator didn’t even inform anybody , they just saw him dive into the water and when he turned up again he was carrying the boat engine in his hands after retrieving it . Can u just imagine that kind shock ? 🤣

This is funny and I can't imagine being on that boat at the time 😂😂

Maybe he didn't want them to panic.

Why do our politicians have to hire so many lawyers?

Obi hired 20, Atiku hired 19, Tinubu hired 20. Not forgetting that each of these lawyers have their individual law firms.

What's the rationale here?

BlueRayDick:
Anybody investing in real estate for profit in Nigeria currently is not wise and deserves to lose his money .

There’s no financial mathematics u can do that will make u recoup ur investment in real estate in Nigeria in 10 years time sef .

If na for money laundering purpose , then it will pay off

I swear. Who no go no go know. Tenants will so frustrate you ehn. The worst part is that, everytime a tenant leaves, you will spend half or all of the new rent you're collecting renovating the apartment.

The Landlord of the house I live had to hand over the house to a lawyer out of frustration.

He told me he has considered selling it many times and that the day he gets a good offer, he will sell it off immediately.

DontBullshitMe:
Though I doubt the figure you quoted but for the sake of argument let me agree. How much is 400 billion naira really for a country of 220 million persons? 400 billion naira is around 600 million dollars and that money is not even remotely enough for the construction of Lagos-Ibadan expressway. That's just one expressway out of hundreds.

When I go on Twitter and I see people hailing Governors. It disappoints me so much. All I see as evidence of their performance is a 2km road, 5 blocks of class rooms, repainting of government hospitals etc. When are we going to address the real elephant in the room which is the country's lack of industries which has resulted into massive case of unemployment and underemployment.

When will the industrialization of Nigeria begin? Some give the excuses of lack of electricity but there are places in Nigeria where you get almost 24/7 electricity now if you can pay for it.

What are the governors or the President doing concerning the rapid growth of industries? This is what we need now not some stupid white elephant projects. Industries will create abundant jobs. Abundant jobs will create a huge taxable population. Huge taxable population will create huge revenue for government. Then Government will begin to embark on building strategic infrastructure to drive socioeconomic growth.

Industries. Tax. Revenue.

But no, let's celebrate 5 blocks of classrooms and repainting of Government hospitals. Doomed country.

You are absolutely right. I look around me and there are not just enough industries where I live.

However, its difficult to blame the governors on this.

For instance, I find it extremely difficult to invest in real estate. It just takes too much time to get your money even if all your tenants pay as at when due which is almost impossible.

I'll rather just use the money to buy CP, Bonds or Mutual funds and have rest of mind. It's the same challenge with industries. Most people will rather just build a hotel or filling station where they can engage in sharp practices and recoup their money in a few years than using it to build a cement manufacturing plant and waiting for years to make profit.

Also, as a result of economics of scale, it is cheaper to produce most of these things in China. This means our local manufacturers are competing with cheap products from China.

There's also the issue of our unstable exchange. If a foreign investor brings 100m dollars to invest and after selling in Naira, he wants to repatriate his funds, he converts his profit to dollars and he now has less than the 100m dollars he brought in.

Investors are not charity organisations and governors cannot force them to build industries in their respective states.

If we must blame anyone for our lack of industrialisation, it has to be the federal government.

The governors can set up infrastructures to create an enabling environment but there's only so much they can do.

What Dino said was INEC was given 400 billion to conduct the elections, it was INEC that was given 400 billion for the elections.

I must have misunderstood him.

DontBullshitMe:
Why can't Nigeria politicians be sincere for once?

They should come out and be honest with the people. The country is broke, the citizens are not productive enough, revenue is down, the country can't cater for its increasing population. Why can't they just be honest and tell the people straight up the real fiscal situation of the country?

What I see is desperate politicians promising heaven on earth to the people, exaggerating the country's wealth and promising to turn their respective states to Japan of Africa.

There is no governor in Nigeria I can score above 2/10. None!

Country is broke and PDP spent 400bn on the just concluded election. APC would have spent more. Where do you think the money came from?

BREAKING:

Chairmen of ALL Political parties in Rivers State under the platform of Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) have just endorsed Sim Fubara for Governor.

They have directed all their polling unit agents to work for Sim Fubara on Saturday.

SIM will win with over 60% of votes. It's a done deal.

BlueRayDick:
U see that Jandor guy ehn, I saw through the dig Fashola threw at him and the rebuttal he gave afterwards ; Jandor is one of those guys working as aide to politicians and when he noticed he might get better opportunities as time advances, he decided to polish himself and get some certificates .

If u follow the timeline of events, Fashola claimed he was a cameraman who followed him around and felt he could suddenly became governor . While Jandor was responding , he refuted the claim he was a camera man but acknowledged he was absorbed into the state broadcasting service .

In between both of them’s stories the truth is somewhere . My personal opinion is that Jandor was just a normal smart guy (A Lagos ACN/APC guy ) who got close to the seat of power, quickly used the money he was getting to get some certificates and his bosses had no choice but to absorb him into the civil service . He probably felt disgruntled about the current situation of things and left to join PDP.

His ex-bosses in the APC like fashola probably feel he’s now Nza the bird and he’s decided to challenge his “chi” by contesting against APC after benefitting from the old APC structure . So that’s why Fashola had to shade him and that’s why his O’levels are flying upandan the internet now

He go dey alright las las sha . I won’t be surprised if he eventually returns to APC and rues his misadventures in the PDP later in the future .

Very interesting perspective.

My take away from all of these is a line from Eminems song, lose yourself. "Do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime"

The guy saw an opportunity and has grabbed it with both hands.
