ballabriggs: And so what? Does Azazi deserve to live?

My heart goes to the dead officers and not people like Azazi and Yakowa who should be fed to vultures.

If you have by any means indulged even in the minutest of corruption in any dealings u have been involved in (school,workplace,business,relationships),then you are no better and deserve the same death and be fed to the dogs.

Our security forces can work if they are determined to do so.

This is a cheering news.

Is it until someone dies one day because of laughter that you guys will know the gravity of your humor abi!

taharqa: Some of u guys are unbelievably Slow and Naive to booth.. You are tking of sm jobs lost cos of Sanusi's 2009 interventn. Are u aware dat if he didnt do want he did at dat time (and he seem to hv done it wit a singularity of purpose scarce in 9ja), d ENTIRE Banking sector (and oda Financial institutns like Insurance cops and d Stock exchange) would hv totally COLLAPSED? All those jobs in those institutns wud not only hv bn lost, completely; but d Economy, as we know it, wud hv bn decimatd. My frnd, just pray dat u wud nt even hv to tink bout d Consequences therein..... By d way, am not interestd in d @OP skewd Comparison of Soludu and Sanusi; only wantd to mk d above point...

My dear,that the banks would have collapsed is just like calling a dog a bad name just to kill it.Leave that matta jor!

hercules07: Is Obama better than bush? Your Soludo put the nation in the mess that Sanusi is trying to clean up, do you guys think there will be no casualties?

What impact have u felt positively as a result of your claimed clean up?

The economy was lot better under Soludo irrespective of the few lapses and the banks were providing employments at least.I would rather have an administration that creates jobs and flourishes the economy with few oversight lapses than a policy that creates unemployment with questionable claims to perfection.

jmoore: Sanusi is a governor of which state?

The poster said governor and not state governor my friend

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,for rendering millions of active youths jobless.

Here is a more realistic ransom demand from Okonjo Iwela's Mother kidnappers,i sincerely pray these guys are caught.

Negotiations have begun in earnest with the kidnappers of Prof. Kamene Okonjo, mother of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who was kidnapped on Sunday in Delta State.

THISDAY gathered Tuesday that the kidnappers had contacted the Okonjo family during which they listed conditions for the release of the minister’s mother, chief of which was that the family should part with N200 million.

The demand for N200 million was made after an initial demand for N1 billion, which the family made clear it could not pay.

According to sources, the abductors who telephoned the family at noon on Monday, initially demanded to speak with Okonjo-Iweala, but were not allowed to do so.

Rather, they were made to speak with the eldest son of the victim, Onyema, who relocated to Ogwashi-Uku on Monday to coordinate the release of his mother.

However, the minister, who was also ready to travel to Ogwashi-Uku, was advised against the trip by the Delta State Government and security agents.
It was learnt that the abductors first demanded the resignation of the minister as a precondition for the release of her mother.

Security sources said Onyema, however, insisted on speaking with his mother to ascertain the state of her health and to be sure that he was not dealing with impostors before he could negotiate with the abductors.

After he had spoken with his mother, whom sources said was alive and well despite the trauma, the kidnappers changed their demand by asking Okonjo-Iweala to bring the money the Federal Government had recovered from oil marketers who had abused the fuel subsidy scheme.

Further negotiations with the kidnappers made them reduce the ransom from N1 billion to N200 million, it was learnt.
“We are waiting and hope that progress can be made,” one of the sources told THISDAY.
Onyema, in a telephone interview with THISDAY, however, debunked media reports that the kidnappers had demanded $1 billion as ransom.


He said: “We do not have any further information at this time. I do not know where people got the story that the kidnappers are asking for $1 billion ransom; that is certainly not true.

“As soon as we get any information, we will keep you informed. But we have not heard anything from them so far, it’s all rubbish and rumours that they are asking for $1 billion.”

The state Commissioner of Police, Ikechukwu Aduba, also denied the report that the kidnappers were demanding $1 billion ransom.
He said his command had deployed personnel to the nooks and crannies of the state in search of the kidnappers.

Aduba stated that the police had arrested the queen’s police orderly, who was supposed to be on duty on the day she was kidnapped, another policeman and two domestic staff in the palace over the incident.

“Some arrests have been made, but I cannot disclose those who have been arrested for security reasons. We cannot disclose some information because of the sensitive nature of the investigation we are carrying out.

“Our major concern is to ensure that mama is rescued. We have spread our dragnet to all the nooks and crannies of the state,” he said.
It was also learnt that the state government is trying to use backroom channels to facilitate the release of the minister’s mother.

Another source said several people, aside from the efforts by the police and other security agencies, were working “underground” to free Okonjo.


He said an informal body of local indigenes had been commissioned to scan the various surrounding communities for clues that might lead to the rescue of the retired professor.


“We are confident that by the close of the day (yesterday), the fog around it would have been clearer. Our interest is in her rescue in the soonest possible time,” he said.

THISDAY checks also revealed yesterday that Okonjo’s abduction has raised concern over the security situation for residents of Ogwashi-Uku.
They are now apprehensive about engaging in social activities because of the heavy presence of security operatives in the town.

“The situation here remains the same, everywhere is calm, security people are everywhere and one has to restrict his movement for now to avoid being used as a scapegoat by these security people because for them everyone is a suspect,” a resident said.

Investigations further revealed that the local vigilantes have been helping security agents comb the bushes in and around Ogwashi-Uku for possible clues on the whereabouts of the kidnappers.

Reacting to kidnapping, Senate President David Mark Tuesdayjoined others to plead for the release of the minister’s mother.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Kola Ologbodiyan, Mark urged the abductors to release Okonjo because of her age. She is 83.


According to him, “The abduction of any Nigerian is condemnable. The abduction of the mother of a notable Nigerian like Dr. Okonjo-Iweala is an attack on the international reputation of our dear country.”

Tobiizzy: oga youngchopper diagnostic tools differ o a launch x431 master costs about $1700 you can check yourself and please if autoshops don't charge how will they make money ehn ?

The diagnostic tool should be part of your work tools,just like multimeter,wrenches,guage,compressors etc. I see no reason why anybody would pay u that amount for just diagnosis.You should also be charging for using ur multimeter to detect an short circuit on the car too without repairs.

This thread is parading the worst set of advisers on nairaland. no one has made a beneficial contribution.

Please don't tell me that in the whole of onitsha you wont see where they do vehicle scanning.

Then how has the politicians and OMATA guys been fixing their state of the art cars.In the worst case cross over to Asaba and i believe u will see a scanning Centre.

Ideally you are not suppose to repair or do anything on that car until you have scanned it and know the exact problem with it,the way u are going,you will end up consigning the car to the gutters.

toygod2: i hate those twins right from time

so shallow a comment

You will be stuck,the time is too short. I had similar experience sometime ago and it took me over 1h30m to go through baggage claims.

Fly airfrance direct to PH international from CDG,though you will stop briefly at abuja to discharge passengers.since i made that discovery,it has been my best bet.Lufthansa also goes direct from Frankfurt.

Nissparts,pls do send to me as well at jodeci54@yahoo.com

whatever happens to trust in Nigeria!

I am interested in this too,vdc,slip,brake,abs and 4wd warning lights has been showing on my dash for a couple of months now,i have changed abs controller steering angle sensor and yet the lights are still there.The last scan is pointing to rear right hand sensor.

The brakes works though,but my tire spins on slippery or sandy road,as if the engine lacks power to propel the car forward.

nissparts: @Jodeci, we've spoken right?
Resolution in progress

yeah,we have spoken.Work in progress,will give u details as soon as the alternator and abs controller is fixed.

You are right about the market being saturated with fake ambi pours.

It is somehow difficult differentiating between fake and original,the fake is even more with the re-fills.

did a scan today on my nissan pathy 2005 and the following codes came up

p1148,p1168,p1031,p1051 and p0500.

confused,dont know the next step.

I have been searching for a good,long lasting air freshner for my car,i have tried almost all the ambi pour flavors,yet don't seem satisfied.

which works for you and why?

slap1: You and 'Berem' should learn to read between the lines before you reply, ok? ''. . .Were the Aluu 4 not cultists/robbers before they turned innocent?" Examine it in relation to the post I quoted, if you can, and tell me how it means that I accused the Aluu 4 of being cultists/robbers.

I wonder why Berem and Ignis couldnt make the correct meaning out of what you wrote given the context..English no easy afterall.

Thanks very much Chrystee. I would have to go visit them,your description is clear.

huh

Please if there is any urologist,who runs a private clinic or anyone you know in Portharcourt,Kindly drop your contact or clinic location here.
I need to see one,wont stand the crowd at Govt hospitals.

OilSubsidy: Chai! These students bad oo. See as dem butcher people anyhow. Where are the JTF soldiers when you need them?

I just couldnt ignore you anymore.You are seeking for attention,now u have it.

mexxy1: Really sad & painful how they died but, let us all be honest with ourselves and ask some critical questions;
1. What were they doing at that part of the town at the time they were caught? That part of Aluu clearly is not where they reside.
2. Five (5) persons were caught and one (1) ESCAPED. Have we asked why that one that escaped is yet to tell the world what their mission or business was there before the unfortunate incident? If they were 'harmless' and there for legitimate reasons, why is he keeping quiet after the death of his friends which virtually the whole world is aware of now?
I think we should call a spade a spade. I'm a graduate of Uniport and I know what happens there. It's only a pity parents stand up for their children without knowing who or what they really are or are capable of.
Only God and the escaped one can tell us what the truth is but, for him not to take advantage of the social media despite the widespread outrage leaves more questions than answers.
It's sad the way they had to go & I pray God comfort their families and I hope we all learn.

The escaped one later died in the hospital at Agip,he escaped with gone shot.He was also the person that said,they went for debt collection .

go to ford-briscoe.
