Please don't make me remember the 'no light no fuel suffering' i went through last year March - April. And don't bring politics and badluck into this. IKEDC covers my residential and i have been running on generator for days. The fact that fellow citizens have to suffer because some lazy olodos failed appraisal is unthinkable.

Light and fuel supply were fairly stable for most of GEJ's tenure. The March-April incident you talked about happened very close to his handover, when the independent marketers decided to shut down petroleum importation, and it was mainly because Buhari said he didn't believe in subsidy and the marketers felt he wouldn't pay them their subsidy claims if he took over power.
Apart from the peculiar issue with IKEDC, power production generally is currently at it's lowest level in this administration. That's what majority of Nigerians are talking about.

mrvitalis:
This idea is Base on the fact that it would be easy to station security me to patrol this roads at very short intervals at night mostly

It's more realistic than asking them to monitor pipes in the bushes or don't u think so

I get your point sha, but the risk is enormous. Any leakage into the road can be disastrous.

mrvitalis:
Fortunately for Nigeria I have an idea to solve this problem

lay the pipe line on the road path so that it can easily be watched or subsea pipeline systems
before u shout I have done a project on this and will forward if need be

With those pipe lines passing the bushes there is no way we can save guard them completely
It's an expensive project but desperate times calls for desperate measures

So if a pipeline gets vandalised, the roads will ultimately be closed till repairs, otherwise people may be roasted as a result of fire incidents.
Do you think vandals can't do their activities in the dead of the night?
Again, did you consider the cost of laying the pipelines again, and the fact that that huge amount needs to be deployed into infrastructural development?

Highvotage:
Also, aside economic whatever you mentioned bros, if this mpg of a stuff is not important to car user or anyhow, why is the car makers always put it on the details of the vehicle?
The problem of many of us in Nigeria is proud, how on it earth you tell me that is poverty that made me watched how man money is being spent? how on earth you tell me not to collect my change at filling station because is peanut?
Hmmmm! God bless our enlightenment.

Hahaha. No be lie o.

Age of engine not withstanding , if you clean up things around your air intake; your combustion chambers;your air filter; your cylinder heads(clean up all the carbon buildups over the years); use the recommended set of plugs and make sure your current is not leaking between your plug wires and coil etc you could gain your 28-30mpg or even more. Just try it and your will never let it go, it will remain your regular maintenance tips.

Okay. Thanks a lot.

Stylz69:
Mr FFK there is no I too know in his request to know the engine size. Agreed, the post doesn't talk about engine size because it is generalises measuring consumption regardless of engine size. Whether you drive a 4,6,8 or 12 cylinder engine, this method helps you measure your fuel consumption. However dextrovert asked about specific vehicles which have varying engine sizes. The toyota corolla for example comes in 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4 litre engine and that even depends on the year in question...I think there are some year models will even less engine capacity. This will be the same for the Honda or Peugeot. These different engine sizes and models will have varied consumption. So you see that you are actually the ignorant one and probably that's why you perceive the poster as being an i-too-know. ... what do I know anyway...

Perfect response to him. I was pissed when I read his attack on the guy.

As a very economical guy, I always do this every time I fill my tank. Because I'm too sensitive about minimising my fuel consumption, I rarely use my AC. Too bad. Despite the whole economy, I rarely get beyond 22-24mpg (both city and highway) with my 2003 Corolla-S. It's very annoying cos initially, I was thinking I could be getting up to 28-30mpg. I guess the age of the engine is a factor in the low values.

Deluded IPOB Youth! Did you see Ayade in any of the Billion -Naira Thanksgivings conducted By The South East and South South PDP Governors after the Supreme Court Judgments? Have You Seen Him in any of the Useless PDP gatherings?

Corruption is the reason why pdp could never defeat boko haram. All funds were diverted to private pockets.

Corruption is the major factor why pdp could never construct any new road in its entire 16yrs of leadership

Corruption is the reason why none of our universities are in the top 100 universities in the world

Corruption is the reason why almajiri's are in the streets begging, 50million are living in poverty and over 20million youth are without jobs at home doing nothing....

Need I go on? Like Mr President said, it is either we kill corruption or corruption will kill us. No matter the wonderful ideas or policies govt may have, corruption will rubbish it completely!

Obasanjo's administration built the Benin bypass. It was built brand new in 2003 or thereabout. I don't know about other new roads the administration built. That's why Osinbajo gave the time gap of 10years instead of 16years.

War against Boko Haram couldn't be effectively executed by Jonathan because the North initially saw it as an attack on their people. Even Buhari said, "an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North". Ihejirika made attempts to cripple Boko, but they took him to ICC for war crimes. The minority president out of fear of the powerful North had to chicken out.
People keep saying Jonathan didn't buy weapons yet Buhari has been fighting Boko for almost one year with the weapons Jonathan bought.

Corruption is entrenched in the Nigerian system, and has been part of us for over 40 decades. It isn't something that one man can wave a magical wand and it will disappear.

Effective eradication of corruption is done by strengthening systems, and making it difficult for people to misbehave. It takes time but ultimately, it can be achieved.

Buhari alone cannot fight corruption when every other person around him is corrupt. What then happens when he's out of the system?

fiizznation:
Hypocrisy in this country stinks to high heavens. You see people insulting Islam over what is a norm in the suppose "holy south" were a girl leaves her parents home to be with her man friend even when she is 14yrs. The funny thing about the people insulting Islam is that they are dirty people doing all sorts of dirty and abominable things.

How can a sane man "abduct" a supposed sane girl from beyelsa to kano without her full consent? Does it even make any sense? So yunusa forced the girl into a cab all the way from bayelsa to kano without facing any resistance from her or without anybody noticing? This is the very vital question the "holy ones" need to ask themselves

So in your sane mind, you believe a 14 year old JSS 3 student with huge prospects ahead of her will elope with an illiterate Mairuwa for a distance over 1000 km to a strange land, far removed from all her loved ones, just like that?

Did you read the elder brother's report that she was in Scripture Union and used to evangelise to people? Even if she was still corrupt despite her evangelism, do you think she would have been strong-hearted enough to abandon her education, friends and family and run away with an abóki without any plans of returning home? Guy, think! Think!

By the way, she could have been hypnotised, drugged or threatened with death if she resisted the move, before being thrown into one of the trailers they use both in conveying cattle and transporting the abókis to and fro the North.
The process of brainwash which made her accept Islam and learn Hausa language with enthusiasm happened over the months. It's that same brainwashing they use in recruiting and launching out suicide bombers.

obailala:
Firstly, whether you agree or not is a story for another day, but the person I quoted was referring to GEJ, hence the focus on him. It is not also news that 99.9% of the attacks on the VP are from individuals sympathetic to GEJ, so please let's not deceive ourselves by feigning ignorance of why GEJ's name is mentioned here. I don't hate GEJ, he tried his best even though his best was appalling. What I dont like is the constant deceit of his supporters and that's what I usually attack, not GEJ himself.

Now why the focus on 'new' roads? The focus on 'new' roads is simply because the innocent mention of 'new' elicited these entire conversations. The importance of new roads are well documented, don't try to downplay the importance of new roads linking up new cities and creating short-cuts to bypass high traffic routes (the benin bypass is an example of a new road and the 2nd niger bridge is also a new route whose importance should never be downplayed).

Similarly, the priority given to fixing of old dilapidated roads over building of new ones is also well acknowledged and appreciated (I am not a dunce not to know this). However if this point was used as an argument, it would have been a more sensible approach and this matter wouldn't have lingered beyond 24 hours. However when not-too-smart impulsive defenders jump in, label the poor VP a liar, a fake pastor and call for his head, then that is exactly the sort of poor response which leads to all these needless debates over semantics.

Your points are clear, but the whole arguments would not have arisen if the Pastor VP didn't start playing unnecessary politics. Fashola acknowledged that GEJ's administration did a lot in terms of road construction, but in a bid to remind Nigerians how 'terrible' GEJ's administration was, the VP brought up the issue of new roads. I say it to you that it was a needless point he made.

I can almost bet you that this same administration would exhaust their 4 years tenure without completing any new road. There are much fewer sites/locations that need new federal roads than roads that need rehabilitation. A sensible government will focus on the rehabilitation of the existing roads. I'm sure even the VP himself cannot name any route today that is in a greater need of a new federal road than for the repair of the existing one.

obailala:
This dullness has reached epic and disturbing proportions. The 11 roads you mentioned above all existed before 2006.

Ezenwammadu, I suppose you should be an educated and enlightened person that should know the meaning of the word 'NEW'?

Now I do not have full info on the current conditions of all the REPAIRED roads you mentioned but at least I know the condition of the following which concern me:
- GEJ did not start the East-West Rd and he did not finish it. The road is still a long way from being completed.
- GEJ did not start the Abuja-Lokoja Rd and he did not finish it. A large chunk of the road is yet to be completed.
- GEJ did not start the Onitsha-Owerri road project, 95% of that project was completed under OBJ, GEJ only completed about 5% of the job and commissioned it.

I do not understand how or why these roads are being mentioned as NEW roads, these are roads that all existed before I was born. Even in terms of repairing the roads, GEJ only did portions, he didn't start and he didnt finish the jobs. So how these roads are CONSTANTLY being mentioned as GEJ's sole achievements completely beats my imagination.

Guy, why the focus on GEJ? The spokesman asked for new roads started and completed in the last 10 years. Was GEJ in power for 10 years? I don't understand this undue hatred for the man.

Now to the question, why are you guys fixated on NEW roads? Are we really in dire need of new roads in this country or repairs and maintenance of the existing roads?

If anybody wants to judge a government by construction of new roads, then Lagos will be one of the worst performing states, as construction of new roads in Lagos is nearly impossible, save for bridges and flyovers.

Are you aware that to repair some existing roads, it costs over 80-90% of the amount it takes to construct brand new roads, especially when a complete overhaul of the road is done.

Now can you point to me the routes in Nigeria where there are urgent needs for brand new federal roads.

You guys should stop playing unnecessary politics with this road construction issue. Repair and maintenance of the existing federal roads is more important than constructing new ones, while the existing ones are in a bad shape.

There are still real churches that transform the lives of people. I listen to people testify every Sunday of how their lives have been changed positively ever since they started coming to church.

If you don't mind, I'll want to invite you to a church just for one service. Just one Sunday is what I'm asking you for. If the experience isn't worth it after that, then you can go on and boycott the Church for as long as you can stand it.

Statistics like this right?

http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/index.php/news-menu/news/22737-anambra-clamps-down-on-special-miracle-centres

Continue deceiving yourself .Everyone knows examination malpractice is a big business in that part of the country compared to other regions

Examination malpractice happens in all the states. Anambra clamped down on special centres yet still remained one of the topmost states in terms of performance.

As at when Anambra closed down the centres in 2015, people were shouting that it was because of the centres that Anambra kept topping the charts, and that the state's performance would drop subsequently. By the time the latest statistics for 2015 came out, Anambra only dropped to the second position.

Even if we assume the SE has been doing well based on malpractices, does that justify Osun being the 29th state in terms of WAEC performance, behind many northern states?

Leave the WAEC stats out of it. SE tops the SW in all educational indices currently, and there is nothing you can do about it. A handful of grammatical errors by a South Easterner won't invalidate the statistics that have been established by WAEC, NECO and JAMB for the past few years.

Even on NL, you people do worse in this regard. A vivid example is the post made by your sister, Tosin just a few days ago. How did I know she's your sister? Just check out her signature.

"A single new road"


And a lot of wailers are already running unclad around the thread.

There is a difference between constructing a new road....and. Rehabilating an existing road.

Its a pity.

Is the problem of Nigeria insufficient number of roads, or the fact that many existing roads aren't of standard quality or even motorable?

Are you aware that in some cases, it costs more to rehabilitate some roads than brand new construction of road, especially in cases where the 'expired' coal tar has to be scraped off, and the road completely tarred again?

What of the numerous roads dualized by GEJ's government? Didn't they involve construction of brand new roads/carriages?

Must you defend every rubbish done or said by this pathetic government?

I'm sure the doctor was suspecting Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, and wanted to do Vaginal Examination to check for Cervical Motion Tenderness. It most likely wasn't an attempted assault, as the op was insinuating.

However, the doctor made a mistake by failing to call for a chaperone when he intended doing the VE. What if the girl pulled her skirt for him, only to start shouting of assault at the middle of the examination? How would the guy have defended himself?

Some of u are beyond pathetic in your reasoning ability.
In March 2015 Mark was said to have defeated Onjeh with 49,000 margin, today he won by just 13,000 in a free, fair election.
A right thinking individual and party wud,despite the victory sit down and analyze what eroded Mark's support that much(37,000) given that almost same number of people(150,000)voted for both candidates.
But no,ur type wud rather in d stupor of temporary glory,ignore these analyses and end up leading types like Mark, and others to ruin.

Imagine the way you reason. I seriously SMH.
In March 2015, both the president and Benue state governor were in PDP. Now, they're both in APC. So you think these 2 factors don't matter at all?

Were you not among those making a noise that Onjeh would beat Mark hands down. Are you aware that thousands of people in Benue decamped from the PDP to APC when PDP lost both at the centre and in Benue?

Even in Rivers State, thousands abandoned Wike within a week to the Supreme Court judgement, because they thought he would lose out and Dakuku would floor him at the rerun.

Abeg, just forget about that point you're making.
Mark has shown that he is a strong force in Nigerian politics, and should be respected.

Strong WARNING to not take this Dr. serious. I am not going into discussion with what is clearly a fake Dr. or someone who should never have his degree. I am off to my nightshift. Case closed.

I'm giving you a challenge right now:
Counter ANY of the assertions I made there with facts. Bring up facts from any Ob/Gyn resource. You can post the link in your comment so that the other people you're 'instructing' can see for themselves. I'm eagerly waiting for you.

In fact, you can invite you senior colleagues to come and counter my points. I'm taking it further away from you.
You think I'm one that you can intimidate. You don't have enough stuff to do that yet.

A doctor that doesn't understand what luteal phase of a menstrual cycle is, has not business discussing contraception.

Going for night shift.... Hahaha. Trying to make yourself feel important. What has your going for night shift got to do with what we're discussing?
I was waiting for you to take my points and dissect them, just like I did yours, but it's obvious you have nothing to present, rather than insult.
Sorry, but I won't go down to your level.

And BTW, this link explains my point about luteal phase and the egg lasting about 24 hours after ovulation.
If you point out other parts of my post you disagree with, I will back them up.
http://menstrupedia.com/articles/physiology/cycle-phases

This one is about IUDs. Take note of this statement:
"a copper IUD may cause more bleeding and cramping during periods."

Tufanja:
Your ignorance is shocking. Your response is a nice try to cover up, but doesnt make much sense at all as it is off point. I can only advice people to not listen to it, and see a qualified professional for their personal tailor made advice. If you have sperm that can stays for instance alive 5 days it means that 5 days before you can even confirm/predict your ovulation you at risk when having intercourse. The sperm cells are right there until the moment the ovulation happens to fertilize the egg. The problem is often more the intercourse before the ovulation than after (at least when you can exactly confirm the ovulation has really happened and you count the lifespan of the egg cell from that right timing, which is often not the case!! hence the big margin that is taken with natural family planning, again natural family planning is NOT for everyone, only regular cycles and very disciplines people who are very good trained and still then the risk is there!!!). I had once a case with a woman who had a double ovulation within a few days. Nature stays unpredictable sometimes!!

Abeg take some intelligence pills.

You are the real ignorant one, and you are damn irritating. If you have a real knowledge of contraception, you wouldn't have spewed the rubbish you just spewed.
Don't you understand what luteal phase of a menstrual cycle is? For crying out loud, I'm talking about the period after ovulation.

Averagely, counting back 14 days from the start of a new menstrual period gives you the safe period (luteal phase) of the last cycle. Even for a woman who has a difference of 5 days between the longest and shortest cycle, a fair estimate can still be made as to the possible days in which ovulation can take place.

And to make it clear to you since you lack detailed understanding, the issue of sperm lasting up to 5 days only matters if intercourse occurs up to 5 days prior to ovulation. In that case, we're looking at a woman with a regular 28 day cycle having intercourse on day 9 of her cycle. That can lead to pregnancy, since the sperm can last till day 14, in which ovulation would likely occur.
For an intercourse that happens say on day 16 of a regular 28 day cycle, or 2 days clear after ovulation, it won't likely lead to pregnancy in most circumstances, as the egg would have died by then.

I mentioned natural family planning done by Catholics to let you know that it works for many people. These are people who don't even use condoms, yet still manage to prevent pregnancy, even in unsafe periods. How much more couples that combine it with barrier methods?
And yes, I never said it works for everybody. I only used that illustration to make a point.

I asked you two questions: do women using Copper IUCD and those using COC pills bleed? I'm waiting for your answer.
When you're done with that, tell me the mechanisms of action of copper IUCD.

You clearly have inadequate knowledge, and I will advise you to seek for more knowledge. Don't come here and be yapping porous stuff.

so in 2011 whom did the underaged voters vote for? Buhari or Jonathan? Besides some of those só called underraged voters were recruited by the PDP and they voted for Jonathan, or did they write any party on their foreheads? Shebi there are elections today? Get ready o, your whining just got worse from today, the supreme court has said só!

Even in 2011, Buhari won Jonathan hands down in the core North, just that the margin was much less than in 2015.

Tufanja:
If this is the level of Nigerian doctors I pity the woman over there, they deserve way better care. You are talking like a textbook with no proper training in practice and no proper clinical reasoning skills. Just ask yourself what happens with a cycle that is under hormonal contraceptive? There is no cycle. When their is a failure in appliance of the used contra-ceptive you have no cycle to rely on and no control on defining the moment of ovulation.

Apart from that, many woman have a irregular cycle and defining the exact moment of ovulation aint that easy (that is where fertility clinics get their business from!). You also forgot to mention that you have to count the lifespan of sperm cells too. There are cases found in which spermcells survived 5 days in the female body. Which drastically reduces the available safe days.

#I am pretty shocked that you as a doctor (at least that is what your moniker pretends) are giving this faulty information on a public forum

Abeg, close your mouth there! Who are you to teach me?
I'm talking about a normal menstrual cycle, and the fact that the luteal phase is generally safe.

Many Roman Catholics don't practice contraception as a result of their denominational faith, yet having intercourse only during the safe period works very well for them.

If the woman isn't confident of the contraceptive method she adopted and will subject her husband to using barrier for the rest of his life, why not forget about whatever method she might have employed and stick to barrier during the unsafe period and no barrier during the safe period?

And did the report mention that she used a hormonal contraceptive? What's your issue with my submission? Even at that, does Copper IUCD stop menses from happening? Even for those taking COC pills, they still bleed when the brown tablets are taken. For the rest, they often have some level of bleeding or spotting, but usually without any ensuing ovulation.

You're talking about sperm lasting for up to 5 days. Who doesn't know that? What has it got to do with the luteal phase of the cycle, after the egg has died? The egg usually doesn't last more than 24 hours after ovulation, so what has the sperm lasting for 5 days got to do with the post-ovulation period?

Abeg take a chill pill: Tabs Chill 500mg stat. It will calm you.

Tufanja:
It would be nice if we can refrain from judgements about other women.

The lady is actually acting very wise. I have been an intern at prenatal consultations, we got different women who used different types of contraceptives and became pregnant anyway (despite of the implant, contraceptive pills, intra-uterine devices). Last january only I got at least 3 cases! None of these methods is giving a 100% coverage. The security of the method is in practice often even lower than many of the statistics use to show (especially those funded by the producers). That is why it should be general knowledge that if you want the maximum level of security you use the "double dutch-method", which means the combination of two methods, mostly a condom with a form of female contraceptive. The lady in this case has shown she is intelligent and well-informed. Thumbs up.

More drastic solutions are male or female sterilization. If the husband is complaining, he can show leadership and let himself be helped by a surgeon instead of putting the fertility burden at the female side only.

On the contrary, she isn't very well informed.
The luteal phase of the menstrual cycle is generally safe for all women. Within 24 hours of ovulation, the egg is already dead. That woman cannot get pregnant till some days after the next menses. For an average 28 day-cycle, it means the woman has at least 13 days post ovulation in which there is zero chance of conception, before the next menses. Why can't she give her husband these 13 days, while she insists on condoms on the other days?

kayfra:
Don't be ignorant. 1 ton goes for $500 and you have 20 tons in a container. You need to have shipped 900 container loads to make $9M. An easy feat and 900,000 containers to make $9B. An arduous task.

Even at that, let's assume 1 bag of cassava flour weighs 50kg, just like a bag of rice.
1 ton = 20 bags
20 tons = 400 bags = 1 container
900 containers = 900 x 400 = 360,000 bags

360,000 bags is approximately 1,000 bags everyday including weekends for a whole year.
Please which fictitious company can singlehandedly achieve this feat in Nigeria?

NgeneUkwenu:
Even Though The CBN Official rate of the Naira( which caters for about 80% of the dollar Usage) against the dollar Still remained @ 199 Naira at the Close Business Yesterday, while the parallel Market (Black Market) trades at 385 Naira to a dollar...It is pertinent to state that we are suffering for the mismanagement and corruption of the yesteryears, engineered, watered and nurtured by Vision less Party that just left power.

For the Past 16 Years, they looted Our reserves:

For For past 16 years, they did not Save for the rainy day...

For the past 16 years, they did not diversify our Economy..

For the past 16 years, they never implemented any of their yearly ritualistic budgets to stimulate the economy..

For the past 16 years, they only shared our Foreign exchange and depleted our reserves...

Now this is result of their hard work....

In fact , it is still a miracle, that The Present Government is still meeting it's financial Obligations in the face of all these crunches...

Since it's all about PDP, let me ask you a few questions:

How many of the nations you listed were administered by PDP over the past 16 years? How come they are all facing economic woes?

When the NGF led by Amaechi took the FG to court over the sharing of ECA, what was your opinion? You guys were supporting the governors because their move was against the FG, and every move against Jonathan's government was welcomed by you.

What did the APC states achieve with their share of the ECA?
Despite the heavy allocation that accrued to states in those 16 years, none of the former opposition states achieved anything whether in terms of projects or savings.
Lagos still has the largest debt burden today, despite the state being run at over 400 billion naira per annum. The last time I knew about LASG debt, it was over 500 billion naira, and that was prior to the last approved debt for the state.

Osun State governor also got several billions of naira from the ECA and squandered the money on Opon Imo and the world's tallest talking drum amidst other frivolities. Imo state governor spent his own paying salaries to school pupils and students of the state. Today, both states are the symbols of "brokeness" among all the states in Nigeria.

The only governor that clearly saved for the rainy day was Peter Obi, and it was from his savings that Obiano has been transforming Anambra State ever since.

If the states that were run by APC especially Lagos didn't demonstrate financial propriety over the years of plenty, and if there are many more nations that are currently going through economic woes apart from Nigeria, on what basis have you been accusing the PDP for the present challenges?

Hope it's not Muhammed Kudu Abubakar of NTA.

Thank you for history lessons Grandpa. How does that affect the dwindling price of crude oil?

You should be asking Buhari and Kachikwu. Do I look like the Minister of Petroleum or his Minister of State?

Mr man, they are talking about Rivers State not Abia state, or is Rivers State now an eastern state?
Attachment is prohibited in this thread, please be well guided!

He said Eastern Region and not South East geopolitical zone. There is a clear cut difference between both.
Rivers state was part of the Eastern Region before the creation of states by Gowon.
So many kids on Nairaland. SMH.
