Chibenze: As am writing dis post now am currently study mathematics in the university, personally i dnt believe their is no job (no matter the course you are studying), i would have given u fews reason to the best of my knowledge but dat will take much of my time, i dnt like teaching if u tink dats where u end ur career as a mathematician, ones am tru wit my studies am going fully into d computer world. Mathematics is really universal my friend, tink positive thier are 1001 (one thousand and one) place you as a mathematicien can work. Dat my little contribution. PEACE BE ONTO MEN

ladywise: I use d electric pump.dnt visit d vulcaniser.I also supply electric car pump,electric car jack

informa: Even if you don't have a car, you plan to buy one someday now...*winks. So, do read and learn!

It seems that the unwritten rule among vulcanizers is that any car driven into their workshop or makeshift tent must have its tyres inflated, no matter the level of pressure in the tyres! In this way, the owner of the vehicle is made to cough out some money.

The experiences of many motorists in show that most vulcanizers give different readings of tyre pressure.

For example, after the first vulcanizer has said that your tyre is over- inflated, another one reads it as under-inflated. Then a third vulcanizer will commend your decision to check the tyre pressure as any further delay could have been suicidal.

“What some of these guys do is that they don’t even read the pressure at all. They fix the gauge and, in a twinkle of an eye, they shout, ‘No air.’

“The truth is that the pressure may be okay. But, they feel that admitting it may deny them the opportunity to make extra money. So they will tell you that there is no air.

“They pretend to inflate the pressure and turn around to reduce it and collect money from you,” Mr. Okoli Udeh, who operates a commercial vehicle in the city, says.

Experts have warned motorists not to inflate their tyres beyond 40psi or 280kpa. As if to buttress this, the report posted on tyresafe.org says, “Don’t inflate your tyres above 40 psi or 280 kpa. By keeping them at their optimum pressure, your running costs are also reduced. Under-inflated tyres require a bigger force to make them turn, so your car uses more fuel. Additionally, tyres that are not set to their correct pressure wear out more quickly.”

Beyond safety, some motorists cut fuel costs by maintaining accurate tyre pressures.

The Federal Road Safety Commission recommends a complete tyre change after two years, but the life span becomes shorter with inappropriate tyre pressure.

Most vulcanisers in Abuja are accused of using faulty or low-grade gauges to read tyre pressures. Some of them deliberately empty the air in the tyre, even when they know that the reading is accurate, only to inflate it again. The owner of the vehicle is promptly billed!

“The faulty gauges they use can only fetch one result: wrong reading. That is why vulcanisers keep telling you different stories.

“It looks like a deliberate ploy to get money out of motorists at any cost,” another resident, Musa Liman, argues.

Investigation shows that many of the vulcanisers lack the basic knowledge of some factors that may account for changes in tyre pressure.

For instance, experts say that the best time to read tyre pressure is in the morning or before the vehicle is used. This is because tyre pressure tends to increase on its own in hot weather or after gliding on hot surfaces for a long time.

But, many vulcanisers lack this basic knowledge. Thus, by lying that your tyre is under-inflated, though it already contains too much air, they endanger your life.

Stressing this point further, Tyresafe.org notes, “Recommended tyre inflation pressures are always for cold tyres, which means you should check the tyres in the morning before the vehicle has been driven.

“Driving heats up the tyres and causes the air inside to expand. If you check the tyres right after driving, therefore, the readings will be at least several pounds higher than normal.

“Hot weather raises air pressure inside the tyres, while cold weather lowers it. So air may have to be added or vented from the tyres to compensate for seasonal variations as well.”

A vulcaniser named Sulieman Salihu blames the gauge used by most of his colleagues to read pressure for the problem.

He notes that when a gauge reads incorrectly, a vulcaniser either adds air or reduces it.

Salihu says, “There are times when it is obvious to everyone that a tyre needs air; you don’t necessarily have to read it because it is obvious. The tyre is without air, you can even feel it with your hands. The driver himself drove the car to your shop after detecting that the air is low. What do you do? I believe that it is not everybody that wants to cheat.”

To inflate a single tyre costs N50 in the city; an average of N200 for four tyres, if you have to inflate all.

The driver spends about the same amount again if the next vulcaniser comes up with a different pressure reading – a hole in the pocket for some people, considering that pressure checks are recommended every week.

okpara ugo: The bolded is funny.

Blame your wicked state government. For me any govt that encourages people oppression in the guise of raising funds is a wicked government.

JUO: @ IKENNA i think this total Quartz 5000, 20W-50 is too light. bought this oil last week and i was disappointed with the performance. the oil gets hot quickly and remained lighter in the engine, as high as 115°C with steady temperature of 96°C. the highest i have seen with mobile xhp is 106°C with steady temperature of 92°C. i don't want my engine to get bad. on a high way my steady speed is 160kph. see the picture below with total

Chynx: The cost varies from brand to brand and again is a function of rim size. I got my Bridgestone (Japan) rim 16 tyres in 2011 for 26k each (104k in total).
Tyres u can trust:
1. Michelin
2. Bridgestone (Japan)
3. Pirelli
4. Continental Contour
5. Goodyear
6. Yokohama
6. Hankook isn't bad too
If uve got d pay, settle for original Michelin or Bridgestone (Japan). You will never regret it.

Silvani: I thought the senate slashed the price to 4k and that of number plate to 8400k. So why are they charging 6300k?

nissparts: Chikasin, you may need a spacer if you have replaced the sensor and the light is still on.

nissparts: As long as it's an oxygen sensor, it will fit

Sincere 9gerian: Its no longer business as usual.

FRESH AIR from mama CJN

nissparts: .....

nissparts: The spacer is available at 5k.
No air filter for Benz

sultaan: This question is for all to answer before doing anything then we can all improve our collective knowledge.

If your code says cat is inefficient, what sensor is there that determine it ?

Consider inefficiency is a reduced input to output ratio and the sender sensor that reads that is .....

idnoble135: some one liked my post and thats why am here again.
You still wont get me to argue. You earlier stated that you dont believe in speaking in tongues and now some what agree with alexeo. Are you confused?
My advice to you is, get a copy of all kenneth Haggin's books on prayer and the Holy Spirit. If that does not help you, contact me again, i have myriad of books i can recommend for you that contains abundant biblical evidences.
But me? I wont argue with you. Thank you!

Evestar200: are u sure u have watch any diamond league race since it started? I doubt it,,cuz if u do,, u wont utter this trash 4rm ur mouth

Elmos: I reside in North East of United State, the accent here is far different from those from the south. I could speak like British but, even with my years of staying here in US i Can not speak with their accent, I have decided to stick to my Nigerian way of speaking, they too should learn how to speak like me. Initially, it was difficult, with my degree from Nigeria some were asking me if I speak English, such questions made me then furious, but with time I understand that they could not understand my accent. Also so many things are not call the same thing, what you call booth of your car here is call something else same apply to many things, I once wrote in my business card, " Adjacent to" I was advised to changed it to "OPPOSITE TO" Tell somebody to Reverse his or her car here, will be wasting your time for they will not understand. If you stay very close to the ORIGINAL black American, particularly the uneducated ones, it would be worse talking to them, they simply don't talk they literally sing, everything to them is slang. One keep saying to me " Hi fuuu" I was agree with him while will he be calling me fool, but later I realized he was actually me " Hi folk"

bettercreature: Lost $16.000 on alibaba

Don Demu: May God bless Obj. Power must come back to the north. Sule.Lamido is the most qualified individual to command our armed forces and take naija to d promise land.

pistol: The market will simply shift to the insatiable chinese market.
Kini big deal.
Oil bunkering is a demon we will have to live with.
If it will lead to the bankruptcy of Nigeria,
So be it.

sinachiman: Mother Mary mother of God we Love u pray 4 us sinners now and 4eva more Amen

Airhix: Sketching information about the Virgin Mary's Apparition in st Benedicts catholic church,Ubiaja in Esan south-East local government Area of Edo-state ,Nigeria, picture is every where in the blessed land of esan, no surprises at all from me ,because ubiaja was one of the home land of white missionaries who brought christianity to Esan land . As the Esan people celebrate a centenary celebration of Christianity ,its a mark of Blessed Mother of God's prayers to the Esan land. I would be heading to Ubiaja tomorrow to see the exact sport of the apparition . Blessed Mother of God , pray for me.

lurvy: [size=18pt] Wow!...Me again.... cant believe this!
Appearing again on the front page as the NUMBER 1 for two straight days!
Hardwork really pays, isnt it..?



But wait oh, Irrespective of where she comes from...The bayelsa girl is fine..
Infact both of them are worthy to represent Nigeria.
