do u own a toyota?

It's useless for inner city drive in Lagos where you have to apply brakes everywhere from time to time. If not a highway drive/journey, just forget about using it.

MemeTroll:
Guessing you’re writing this because of older cars because newer cars have adaptive cruise control with stop and go motion that can be used in traffic

freshvine:
my car have it but manufacturer warn me never to drive at a particular speed limit for 5 minute. kind of contradictory innovative technology!

sure you didn't understand what the manufacturer warned you about.

Jbleenk:
Cruise controls are not built for Nigerian roads as u come across pothole and have to step on brakes disrupting the cruise control process intermittently. Having to set the CC again over and over having disrupting it earlier sets in motion a vicious cycle which could be very tiring.

Cruise control is a no no for me on naija roads.

Some of us are ignorant of the cruise control feature found in most modern cars. I am going to make the explanation of cruise control as simple as possible.

The cruise control enables your car travel at a particular speed you set it to even when you take off your leg from the accelerator (throttle).

As said earlier, myriads of people are ignorant of this cruise control feature more of trying it out.

The primary aim is to make long journeys more comfortable and it will also help you save money on fuel.

This cruise control is not what you can use when you’re in a congested road where you have to stop and start at all times; steady speed is vital. It can only be used when you’re driving above 25 mph. It won’t work for any speed below that.

The above point will point fingers to just driving on highway and not streets filled with traffic lights.

The main controls are usually located in the steering wheel or a column stalk behind the steering wheel. The main controls are ‘Set’, ‘Cancel’, ‘Resume’ and ‘On/Off’.

You can usually adjust the programmed speed up or down using the same buttons – check your owner’s manual for specific instructions for your car. To initiate cruise control for your car, you need to accelerate to the desired speed over 25 mph – then press ‘Set’. Your car will now maintain its current speed without the need to keep your foot on the accelerator. The procedure for activating the cruise control may vary from one car to another

Turning off cruise control is as simple as applying the brake, pressing the ‘Cancel’ or ‘On/Off’ buttons or pushing the clutch pedal in a manual car.

Below are some of the advantages of using cruise control
1. It improves your driving comfort
2. It gives you better control over the speed you ply
3. It improve the fuel consumption of your car

Ensure you read your car’s user manual for specific details on how to operate your vehicle’s cruise control feature.

Have you been using the cruise control feature in your car? Tell us in the comment section.

I noticed fewer interest in ARM MM even though being among the oldest investment company, is there any reported issue them? i want nto know as i have account with them

brainhack:
When someone or a group of people are being evasive about an aspect of the thing under consideration, it is a “gaint-big” red flag for me. I even tried reaching out to Axa-mansard people regarding their MMF’s “management fee” and still did not get any answer.

If the 1.25% is chargeable on the whole account (Principal + Interest) thats a big WAWU. It makes their rates significantly less attractive compared to that of their competitors; so goodluck to them.

Anyway I have decided pitch my tent with FBN. I should be able to complete all the necessary this coming week.

It is not a walking stick its called an FSC (Folding seat cane).

like i said earlier, other than spewing insults and rubbish you ended up saying nothing. i believe this will enlighten and educate you about UAE.

Old man I don't have time for crying babies and nagging oldies this cool afternoon, if you have something meaningful and superior to table to prove that what I put up their are lies go ahead and lets see not this demonic puffing and huffing from you. You are too old for this infantile struggling please

You ended up saying nothing. I was reading thinking I would see where you highlighted your superior proof and arguments.

Why We Wail..

The Arabian Peninsula has a very rich history dating 6000BC. The peninsula was occupied by Bedouins...the modern day Arabs. The peninsula is mostly sandy desert, hard rocky mountains, and wetlands around the coastal areas. To say this is one of the most uninhabitable places on earth is an understatement! Summer temperatures are so high that you'd be convinced your brains were being melted within your cranium; winter temperatures are so low you'd pray for global warming day and night! The desert is filled with sand boas, cobras, scorpions, goats and camels! It is a most uninhabitable peninsula!

The area was filled with Bedouin Tribes whom had formed pockets of Emirates over the peninsula. Over the centuries, they warred among themselves for supremacy...imagine fighting over vast areas of seemingly useless land? But they did! Life was hard!

In 1498, the Portuguese arrived, and took over the maritime and intermediary trade until their ouster in 1653. Along came the Dutch them the ubiquitous British that displaced the Dutch and signed "protectorate" Treaties with the numerous Emirates on the peninsula. Familiar?

For the British to thrive, they called a truce among the big Emirates along the North Eastern Coast. By 1853, permanent truce was signed and the states were called Trucial States...states in truce.

The British held sway on the peninsula.

In 1932, the Al Saud Family had had enough of the British, carved a large portion of the peninsula for themselves, convinced three other Emirates to themselves and declared themselves sovereign! The British held on stronger to the Trucial States.

The Trucial States were Dubai, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Shajar, Fujaira, Abu Dhabi, Al Qawain amd Ras Al Khayima. They were all independent Emirates under the British rule; held down by the 1892 Treaty.

In August 1966, the Emir of Abu Dhabi (Sheikh Zayed) started convincing the other Emirates on the "need to have a federation of sorts and develop as other successful countries". By December 1971, the United Arab Emirates was birthed in that unforgiving piece of real estate on that peninsula! Oman, Bahrain and Qatar opted to be independent countries.

A most profound event of the formation of the United Arab Emirates was their study of the 1963 Republican Constitution of Nigeria...and the formation of a federation along the lines of our discarded constitution.

Every aspect of nationhood was argued even years after. But they built a strong and powerful country with regional autonomy and delineation of central and regional roles.

Since 1971 till date, the UAE has developed at a frenetic pace! And have preserved regional identity even with a jointly controlled centre.

Data Facts
Population: 9 million
GDP: $400 billion
Landmass: 80,000 square kilometers
Literacy: 98%

Did you notice the GDP? Greater than that of Nigeria that has 180 million people!!! By extension, the average citizen of the UAE is at least 12 times richer than the average Nigerian!

The landmass is just a notch larger than the Ala-Igbo Region of Nigeria and about half of that of the Odua Region (Yorubaland)! They have a population three times less than Ala-Igbo and about the supposed population of Kano! Only about 1.2 million of the population are actual citizens while the rest are resident non citizens including my humble self!

The UAE is a thriving country! The road network in Abu Dhabi would make you swoon, while Dubai would sweep you off your feet in an instant! Despite oil and gas, the country has a large manufacturing sector. Everything is regional; all regions fend for themselves! All regions are free to trade internationally, have international airports, seaports, power plants and refineries! I've been to several of those!

The country basically developed before my very eyes. My apartment on Sheikh Zayed road was a desert patch known to me. The metro project (subway) started "in my very before" so did projects as Jumeriah Lake District! The Nuclear Power Plant in Abu Dhabi had some support from yours sincerely (started full operations about 4 months ago)...

The United Arab Emirates is a wonderful country! It is a country that shows you the "can do" spirit in motion! Despite being 75% Muslims, they hardly care about it! No non Muslim has ever been killed (to my knowledge) in the UAE!

The country has 67% male population (Lol) hence the influx of our dear sisters all over the world to the Arabian Enclave to help in the "massage" industry (sic!)

Every company worth its salt, has a foothold in the UAE! The country is working, thriving, and an envy of many!

How did a country that had no right to survive make it so good? How did a country that was next to nothing when Nigeria was the giant of Africa become such a formidable force in less than 30years? How come a country of less than 10 cities have more money and success than Nigeria with over 500 large cities? How could a country 32 times smaller than Nigeria be almost 15 times richer and 1000 times more developed?

Their Structure!

They discussed their constitution!
They agreed on regional autonomy!
They have regional fiscal independence!
They have freedom to enter or exit the Union!
They do not have a unitarized constitution!
They do not have ethnic domination tendencies!
They signed truce among themselves!
The right of each region is upheld!
They do not have allocations!
They have the equality of regions!

The Emirate of Abu Dhabi occupies 75% of the landmass of the country (the size of Benue State), has 60% of the oil & gas deposits, but has ONLY one vote in the Federal Advisory Council (Senate) and has no advantage whatsoever over a tiny emirate as Ras Al Khayimar (the size of Wuse District) with no mineral resources of worth!

The United Arab Emirates, a forlorn, forgotten and seemingly hopeless piece of desert on the unwanted part of the Arabian Peninsula, is a success story today. From a bleak outlook, they built a formidable country! Nigeria, with all the boasts, pride and obvious advantages, has wrecked the country into something so desolate that foreigners avoid it like plague and citizens cannot flee fast enough! We have saddled ourselves with an unworkable constitution and a ridiculous structure no genius on earth could make work!

We lie and deceive ourselves daily; rather than set out work, we hope for a Messiah to wave the magic wand and make everything alright! We clap for defectors and other goons in the political firmament, then hope that some "Sai Baba" or "Oloye Saraki" would yell "Open Sesame" and "Voila", development! It would never happen!

To be anywhere near nationhood, that despicable document called the 1999 Constitution must be destroyed first! We must enthrone regional autonomy, then start the journey towards nationhood! Afterwards, we could develop! But as long as this foolish structure persists, not only shall development elude us, we shall kill ourselves till no one is standing! Oh, the Boko Haram and Fulani Terrorists already started the killings? My bad!

We must #restructureOrBurst! No amount of electioneering would change our situation if we did not fight the right battles!

Elections are not our problem; the structure is!

ifychris77:
The same EEDC, that is the problem we are having here in Umunna Nsulu of Abia state. You will be force to pay that huge amount but you won't see light. We are seeing the great change that APC has brought for us. Before now there used to be a steady power supply with low NEPA bill of #200 per month

Osibanjo never spoke against killer herdsmen who have been killing Christians and displacing them only for to open mouth and insult pastors

Thanks for this.
The media has taken Algeria out of Africa and then concentrate on Nigeria and South Africa.

Algeria has a very large reserve. I see why they have no issues with military procurement.

QuietMynd:
It's Algeria

bidexiii:
We should learn how to profer solution to our own problems...

It's high time the lower & upper chambers of the national house of assemble see more reason the state of security in these country. Budgets for security/defense should be increase for a country fighting terrorism and killings in the central North.

The press has a lot of work to do in these area. Even when you try to let people see the reality on ground, they say you are terrorist sympathiser.

SternProphet:
There is no money for all these, although I think we need minimum $5bn capex for defence & security per annum for the next three years. The answer is to retool NSCDC into a more potent static force able to hold ground while the NA and NAF hunt and kill Boko Haram. NA does not have manpower to do both. We need up to 50 choppers but they dont have to be MI 24s. Armed LUHs dispersed at NAF FOBS being constructed are enough. Those LUHs are brand new and cheap unlike used MI 24s that will give maintenance issues. The Super Tucanoes, I see Nigeria buying up to 60 units by 2022.

ItsMeAboki:
No one could give more credible account of what really transpired than the actual witnesses present and who fully took part in the decision to stash away the money; fortunately at least two of them are still alive and they have spoken out; one of them General Bamaiyi, could have easily spoken against Abacha (because he was among the coup plotters jailed by him) but chose not to - therefore making his evidence even more credible.
http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/abacha-never-stole-funds-traced-meant-weapon-purchase-bamaiyi/
https://www.herald.ng/abacha-steal-nigerias-money-jeremiah-useni/

No the money was not saved in Abacha's name but in fictitious names and some in his family names - that was why his sons, Mohammed and Abba were arrested until they agreed to return most of what was in their account names; it would have been naive to have stored them in Abacha's name because it would have defeated the purpose of hiding them, just as it was naive of you to point out the consequences suffered by the Koreans tha Abacha was quite sensibly avoiding.

The Oputa panel did no reveal anything that we did not already k now today except the version of what you and many of Abacha's more powerful enemies have scripted out for the rest of the world to follow.

angelicwing:
Abacha never increased fuel price beyond N11.
