Pls, is UBA, FBN, and fidelity shares a good buy now?

Hi Gazzuz. My mazda 6 is still guzzling fuel and it's still having a rough idling mostly at first start in the morning, hesitating, but no check light and no codes. A full tank of fuel (68litres) took me only 202miles instead of about 400miles. Note: Car is a 2.3ltr engine 4cylinder.

GAZZUZZ:
Speed demon!!!! chai! Need to get me 1 of these toys.

Meanwhile I will not be doing a customary engine wash since it's a misfire I'm trying to solve. So I'll just be doing a drycleaning.

High fertility rates in a number of countries have been named as the cause of the extra 2.4 billion people in just 35 years.



The countries include India, Nigeria, Pakistan, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, USA, Indonesia and Uganda.

India is expected to surpass China as the world’s largest population with the next decade, while Nigeria is expected to have more people than the United States by 2050.

The UN predicts that the figure will rise to 11.2 billion people by 2100.

John Wilmoth, director of the population division in the UN’s department of economic and social affairs, said that high fertility in some of world’s poorest countries could bring problems.

“The concentration of population growth in the poorest countries presents its own set of challenges, making it more difficult to eradicate poverty and ­inequality, to combat hunger and malnutrition, and to expand educational enrolment and health systems, all of which are crucial to the success of the new sustainable development agenda.”

Wu Hongbo, UN under-­secretary-general for economic and social affairs, explained the importance of the report.

She said: “Understanding the demographic changes that are likely to unfold over the coming years, as well as the challenges and opportunities that they present for achieving sustainable development, is key to the design and implementation of the new development agenda

This is absolute rubbish! Who cares if the president fast? Was he compelled or is he doing it for me or for the nation? It's his personal life and that should not interfere with his official duties which he is mandated to do. This craze of photograghy among our political leaders is very absurd and foolish. That's not what Nigerians are expecting from them. Some have even gone as far as displaying photographs of them in their bedrooms, while eating, and all sorts. Very soon we would see photos of them bathing and some indecent postures. And the most annoying part is when you see this supposed political leader posing seriously for the pic or grinning his teeths sheepishly in the photograph while their position of authority is lacking and some Nigerians are foolishly pouring out accolades to such show of shame by our politicians/ leaders. I weep for Nigerians because a lot of us don't know what we want and what is ours. And our political elite have known that about Nigerians that is why they lead us sheepishly like a cow been led to a slaughter house.

This is absolute rubbish! For this kind of contest to be held in an NYSC camp calls for a probe and total disbandment because they are encouraging gayism. This guy could cherish his look in those attire and the next he would be stuck to feminism and next he is gay.

hi all, anyone with an urgent idea of how to stop the huge white smoke from the exhaust of a CX-7. thanks in anticipation of a favorable response.

Please, check the smoke color very well if it's actually white or light sky blue in color?

Does it mean that if a serving Nigerian senator, governor, or president commits murder in the course of his service, he is immuned of the law and he won't be prosecuted immediately?

"The Magistrate, Mrs Adenike Shonubi, granted the accused bail in the sum of N50, 000 with one surety in like sum".

Nigerian legal system is a mockery. For a case as simple as this a bail is being granted on the sum of 50k while very serious criminal, political, and corrupt offenders are been granted bail on laughable sums. Shame on our legal system.

What is your comment about all the prophesies concerning the just concluded presidential election? I think it was just Rev. Fr. Mbaka who was right (He prophesied that Jonathan/PDP will loss).

RIP

So pathetic! this country, Nigeria, is a jungle. Just imagine how a severely injured accident victim is been conveyed to the hospital for treatment like an animal. The condition at which he is being transported is so unconducive and could aggravate his pains. This should have been done with ambulance along with some stabilizing treatment as he is being transported. This is why most emergency cases is always reported: "confirmed dead on arrival" in Nigeria. The road safety corp has ambulances but they do not use them for such purposes rather they are only paraded during political rallies and government functions. May God help Nigeria!

How about those that have made an advance subscription payment running till December 2015 base on this old existing price, will the price change affect such subscription?

Thanks!

Please, I need a referral to where i can do a very good car wheels and steering alignment in Lagos preferrably within/around Ikeja axis. Thanks!

I have also been a victim too. My client withdrew over a million naira in the banking hall of UBA bank in Lagos to pay me. All the note(1000naira notes) bundles were sealed in a nylon pack. Only for me to discover a counterfeit perforated note in one of the packs while depositing the money in another bank. I took d note back to UBA but was surprisingly denied by the bank teller. Most Nigerian bank officials are criminally minded and suspicious. Always reconfirm your cash before u leave their presence no matter how large d amount even if it will take some extra time. Change we seek in Nigeria is not only in the govt and political sector, all of us, Nigerians, need a comphrensive individual change. Including all foreigners domicile in Nigeria.

This thread is helpless,please mods close it!

I agree with you.

Very sympathetic photos

I just got a Nokia lumia 530 dual SIM from Dubai through a friend, yesterday. it was properly sealed and well packaged, no damage on the packaging. I unpacked it, inserted the battery but when I switched it on, it came on but it freezed at the welcome point of language selection and the screen is not responding to any touch. I have removed the battery and restarted the phone severally but all to no avail. Below is a snap shot of the phone screen of the point where it freezed. Please, I need your assistance on what to do? And also, will the Nokia care centre at Ikeja attend to my complaint since it's warranty is limited within the UAE region?

zeelo2014:
personally, I think that's fair.
Do u know the 90 days rate?

Thanks! 90days is 10.5%

I got 182days @ 13% from Diamond bank, is it a good offer?

If the government of Nigeria should be sincere? There is no subsidy on petrol anytime. PPRA is saying that with the N10 reduction on pump price, the government is now subsidizing at N2.84. Which means that when the crude price dropped Nigerians were overpaying with N7.16. What stopped the government to wait until Nigerians cried for a price reduction before they effected the N10 reduction? Also, the refined petroleum products are presumed bought/imported from an open market where prices vary base on the point of refining, how come Nigerian government has a fixed subsidized figure when we know that the cost of production in and haulage from Venezuela, Qatar, USA, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and etc cannot be thesame with the fact that importers of petroleum products will definitely buy/import from a less expensive source/ country?

Moreover, if one checks the total figure expended on the assumed subsidy payment and reinvestment, you would note that the total amount in 2years would be enough to put atleast warri and Portharcourt refineries in working order and importation of refined products will be history. But, the truth is they won't because it will mean that petroleum products importers will be out of business and the return on investment on local production haulage will be low for the importers. Also, the government will not have a genuine source to embezzle public funds. Nigerian government is deceit!

It is normal. It's even stated in some car manuals that you should not leave the steering turned to the extreme for too long. My car does it too when it's turned to extreme.

hazvat:
thanks bro. already observing the oil now. still intact. but what is PCV in our local usage?

I don't know the local name for PCV but once you can locate it in your car then u could test it to see if it's bad. It's mostly mounted close to the intake manifold. It's a cheap part.
How to test it: Air is not supposed to flow through either ways, air goes through one way while the way is obstructed.

First advice is to top-up the engine oil and observe if there is still a decrease in the oil level. Always check the floor of your park-lot for signs of oil drips on the floor. If there is still a significant decrease in the engine oil level without any leakages seen, then the culprit should be a bad PCV valve that is causing excessive oil consumption. Change the PCV valve and observe the difference. Most times, we ignore this cheap serviceable part (PCV valve) which is required to be changed after some specified intervals which could lead to extensive damages and expensive repairs.

It's the tappet valves. I guess the sound should stop after driving for a few days. An over-due oil service change interval and low oil lubrication is one of the causes too. Lets hope it stops.

ZIMDRILL: do you know a torque converter?

Ofcourse i do. I have used this method and i was able to flush and replace all my old tranny fluids. You could google it up too. Also, you could use fluid exchanging machines to power flush and change all the old fluids completely though it's more expensive but it's available in selected outlets in Lagos.

You could drain the fluid in torque converter but if your car mileage is above 80k, i will advice you just do normal drain, filter change, and refill. Flushing or power flushing high mileage trannys sometimes results to the tranny malfuctioning after the flush especially if the tranny atf has not been changed at anytime. After the normal drain, filter change, and refilling you have done, locate the hose outlet line taking atf from the tranny to the radiator cooler line, remove the clamps on the hose. Set a catch bowl underneath the car at the point of the hose, have someone to start the car, unplug the hose and put the gear in drive, old/dirty atf will start pumping out through the hose. Be very observant, as the dirty atf comes out you will notice it becomes cleaner gradually until you observe a more clean and translucent atf coming out then shut the engine and plug the hose back with the clamps attached properly and gauge the tranny atf. You could get the old/dirty atf (about a litre) trapped in the torque converter out through this method.
