yungboss: and the m3

yungboss: thats the prob, a mechanic just tells u ur gearbox wil go bad when you get a car, a car that you'l probably use for years as long as u give it its proper and due maintenance. Some Nigerian mech's arent good enuf, too bad

yungboss: did u say condemn a bmw 328i?? I didnt read that correctly,or was it a mistake by u? i'm not arguing/saying ur 3.0 v6 vq30de aint powerful,but i bet u,the famous RWD inline-6's 328i as a matter of fact, wil teach it a little lesson about driving/performance/handling. U know this kind argument is best settled on the dragstrip/twisty road,lol. Where's jeremy clarkson?

yungboss: KA24DETT]

You have to try 98 Nissan maxima v6 VQ30DE if you think no 98 car is faster .. Beats BMW inline 6 0-60 and 80-120km/h with power delivery
the bimmer does 0-60 in 6.4s and does 1/4 mile in about 15s, with just 190hp and 206lb-ft torque. Lets see ur figures for the maxima

yungboss: well articulated. I plan to add another inline 6 to my car,the e36 bmw 328i (i got an offer for an e36 bmw m3 but for N2.1m so i'm holding on). I once drove a 328i from warri to benin. It was the most awesome experience i had driving a '98 car. To be honest,i dont think any car built in '98 in its class is faster...but consumption was more compared to my 320i.
About my 320i, i used a full tank to warri from Pharcourt and back to pharcourt during the fuel crises period early this year. (arrived home with the fuel guage needle just below the 1/4 mark). @poster, you can live with a V6/I6 just give it a try.

Sagamite:
Advanced countries have abandoned illiterate thinking like withcraft for more than 250 years. They are applying their brains to study, identify and resolve issues. These has led to discoveries and advancement.

In 2011, almost 2012, our cretins are still screaming witchcraft like if it was 1725. Our pure fooools! Our Moorons!

Then one of them has the AUDACITY, the moronic AUDACITY, to boast about BSc and MBA.

You have a BSc and MBA and you are thinking like a foool of 17 hundred and something? If our so-called educated are this daft what future do we have?

And the foool was cretinous enough to try and lie he got it from HEC!

What da HECK! A bloody product of a failed education system.

Sagamite:
You are a cretin!

The excellent places where I schooled, if you believe you have a point, you go and bring your evidence and nottell people to go and search for it.

Product of a failed education system.

Dude, if I reply you, the result will be buckets and basins of tears. Many have fallen on the road you are foolishly treading.
It is best to keep to the argument if you have the intelligence to do so.

Beaf:
And why would you want me to reply crap? How can I reply anyone who asks why GEJ has not ordered the refineries be repaired? As a token of help to the willingly ignorant, GEJ gave the order for the full repair of all refineries way back in August; therefore, it is painful to observe a grown man beating his rather hollow chest, only to reveal that he is ignorant to alarming levels.

Why would you want me to respond to drivel?

By the way, thanks for the various "titles"; I am flattered.

To further throw more light on what I was talking about in the above post, I'll write something here I already post on another thread.


The Reason Why Oil-subsidy Cannot Be
Removed Through The Repairs Of Our
Refinries.

The fanthom removal of oil-subsidy is
just
a ploy to increase the price of petrol.
Reason? GEJ wants his friends - the
CABAL to continue making billions from
fuel-importation, but wants to shift the burden from the neck of his goverment
unto the neck of the poor masses already
overburdend through goverment
corruption. Please anyone who has even a single
bone of sincerityin his/her body, please
ask yourself & answer this pertinent
question: Why can't this fuel subsidy be
removed
through making(by repairs) our refiniries to start working & functioning at full
capacity?

WHY CAN'T THIS OIL-SUBSIDY BE
REMOVED BY MAKING (BY REPAIRS) OUR
REFINIRIES TO START WORKING AND
FUNCTIONING AT FULL CAPACITY?

In my own opinion, the answer to this
pertinent question(also big puzzle) is
this: if the refinries start working as they
should, the need to make any trillions
availabe for oil-subsidy will vanish. But
that's not the only thing that will vanish. The very lucrative billions-of-dollars-
profit-making- business of fuel-
importation will automatically grind to a
halt since Nigeria will have all the fuel it
needs produced loaclly through our
refiniries, hence no need for importation.

So because fuel-importation must
continue at all cost, because
"chopulation" must continue at all cost for
the BIG BOYS of PDP and PDP associates,
the option to be taken  is for price of fuel
to be increased instead of the best option (best both in short & long terms) of
repairing our refiniries. This way, the PDP Big Boys continue
making money; but instead of making it
off goverment, GEJ wants them t now be
making it off the poor masses.

Please, all you guys championing oil-subsidy removal, prove wrong what I have said here or shut up forever,

This GEJ 's incessant vows is becoming unwelcoming. Remove this thing make we hear word jor

Gbawe:
Well, can you send me a "fat" present too so I can have a happy Xmas too? You know how poor we are in the UK compared to you Yankee 'allaye's'. I doff my hat to you though. You are one mean lady. You mean your folks are probably eating 'guguru and epa' right now because they voted GEJ? Don't you know GEJ is about to take that guguru and epa away with "removal" of subsidy? Wetin dem go eat? Have a heart na . No be "Xmas"?

Dele99:
You said it all #GBAM.most of these critics are pure tribalist that only rate performance based on ethnicity

dmainboss:
You just gave yourself up man.

1. You dont live in Naija. You are a runaway. Jonathan was not governor for 4 years
2. GEJ should have taken charge during the Yaradua saga? Really? Was he a military general or are we no more in a democracy? You blew it guy!
3. He should just jail Boko Haram sponsors? Really? Please can you help us with the list of sponsors you have gathered and the evidence that they are sponsors? Can you forward it to SSS office please? You think they give Boko Haram and their sponsors ID cards? Some Nigerians are just too daft! Ode
4. Or maybe u live in Naija but your problem is that you are an example of our failed educational system


Guy I do agree with some of your points especially the fact that a sitting president will always take the heat. But when you see criticism coming from objective sources, you know it. No one ever faulted Gani;s criticisms because it was clear that it was genuine. The criticisms coming from ACN and the South west and from CPC are partisan and tribal! we can all see it clearly

ikenna wait till you try v8. drove my friends 08 tundra, with 5.7 liter iforce engine. the car dey move like no mans business.but when i saw the fuel bill, i give am im key je je go sit down for passenger seat.

Ikenna351:
Now that i have two V6s, na so te joly-joly i dey do each time i dey drive

The first time i drove my first V6, I came out of the car giggling like a girl

One thing about V6, the non-V6 people fail to understand is that its not just about the power, torque or fast acceleration alone, but the engine sound note. The way V6 engine dey sound as the acceleration dey increase dey make me happy pass Obama Honestly, its a wonderful world

Im sure thats only active duty servicemen/servicewomen. Every country has a small amount of active duty but larger reserves. Nigeria can have asily 500k reserves.

The only nation that uses f22s are the USA and at 1Billion USD each, hardly anyone else can afford them. Besides the f22, the US's main jets are f-18s and I dont think they're ready to give those away just yet. So F16 will be flown for some more time.

@ Βουκέφαλος
Good to know. Thanks again.

coogar:
this is exactly what i mean about nigeria's literacy level. you can read but you don't have the ability to write. i am sure you count yourself as one of the 72%(not the 76% you claimed) and i have been able to identify you as a semi-illiterate. surely, there must be other verminous simpletons like you claiming to be literate thus adding to the statistics but whose ability is at par with a well-trained german shepherd.


you will find out that you are the nincompoop with poop for brains. . . .now you go and re-educate yourself. . .


Education and Literacy: In 2004 Nigeria’s adult literacy rate was 69.1 percent on average, with
a higher rate for men (78.2 percent) than for women (60.1 percent). Nigeria provides free,
government-supported education, but attendance is not compulsory at any level, and certain
groups, such as nomads and the handicapped, are underserved. The education system consists of
six years of primary school, three years of junior secondary school, three years of senior
secondary school, and four years of university education leading to a bachelor’s degree.

In 2005
59 percent of girls and 68 percent of boys were enrolled in primary school. However, only 23
percent of girls and 28 percent of boys were enrolled in secondary school.

In 2004
the Nigerian National Planning Commission described the country’s education system as “dysfunctional.”
Reasons for this characterization included decaying institutions and ill-prepared graduates

You can rant and rave all day about our ''problems''. What I do know is that they are far better than the ZERO ROADS, ZERO ELECTRICITY, ZERO SCHOOLS, AND ZERO CARS (except for the super rich) of the colonial era.

If you want to return to the British era of mud huts, disease, and illiteracy, BE MY GUEST, but please do not come here and try to deceive people that things were somehow ''better'' under them. It is not my duty either to show you the figures/stats from colonial Nigeria. You should have checked them out before coming here to praise Oyibo colonialists. Go on Google and research!

kulutempa:
I thought you said there were ZERO schools under the British.    You see, you are learning something new again.   You will make a good student, but you have to be willing to learn, instead of ranting like a raving lunatic on Nairaland.

Oh yes it IS the question. Are you and your friends not here praising them to high heavens for doing nothing?? And then when I say ''NO. They did nothing'', you say I'm blaming them. I wouldn't 'blame' them if you didn't praise them.


We've done a lot. We've cut infant mortality from 250 per thousand in colonial times to 90 per thousand today. We have 120 universities, from 0 in 1960. We have more roads, more hospitals, more schools, more professionals, and a far larger middle class than we did under colonialism. We have achieved a LOT compared to where we were in the 1960s. There's a lot to do yet, but you'd be absolutely crazy to say we've achieved nothing.


Maybe YOU are not going anywhere. Many Nigerians are doing a lot better these days. Our economy is the third fastest growing in the world today at 8% per annum. Things are moving. Go out there and contribute your own, rather than come here talking rubbish about your country.

ABSOLUTELY 1000%

The railway was set up by the British to transport Nigerian resources from the north to the southern ports, for export. The export earnings were retained in Britain. The railway was essentially a tool for your exploitation.


What ''infrastructures'' do you know that the British built for you? How many miles of roads did they build? Let me see: 1/20th of what we have TODAY. And all but a few of the 'roads' they built were DIRT roads.

I won't blame them cos they're natural-born thieves. What I won't stand is deluded people like you who don't know what you're talking about, coming here to praise them for their do-nothing brigandage out of your colonial inferiority complex.

Under the British you had NO universities. Which do you prefer? Statistically, under the British YOU would have been an illiterate. Which do you prefer, your current literacy courtesy of black rule, or illiteracy courtesy of white rule?
