Very nice ride, I will come and buy the year 2023 model, by that time i should be able to afford it. ![]() |
If soldiers can be attacked and killed, what do you expect to become of ordinary "bloody" civilians? |
pyyxxaro:They just release you from 6 months Ban and u are already inviting another Ban ![]()

$50,000! And his state is among those that say they can't pay just N30k minimum wage to civil servants?

Highly disappointed in this post, these are not what I expect to see, I thought there will be something unique, meaningful and impactful to read.
|
why is it that it is only two candidates that are always been paraded even by the media and journalists? Is it only two parties that will be contesting in the elections? Nigerians are yet to learn from their past errors and free themselves from the shackles of PDP/APC and recycled rulers. smh

Another of that signboard should be erected over there, close to Aso Rock gate.

Where is Mini Cooper in the list? I expect to see it first.

But why is this Jonathan not smart? Why is he pointing fingers at others when he was the Commander in Chief? Why can't he just admit he was dumb and now he has learnt his lessons?

N446k or so to order clothes just because it is online thing when there are correct fashion designers that will make the same clothes with N120k everything! At the end you eventually had no option than to patronise the tailors you looked down on after you already incurred huge loss with high BP and fever from your online supplier. |
I dunno, the guy over there will probably give a sh*t

emmyN:Because everybody wants to carry Lagos plate number to show that they are skilful drivers. You will do same if you have a car.

Are you sure they're footballers or hair dressers?? |
Water, as we know, comes from various sources such as river, well, bore-hole, tap, ocean, lagoon etc. you can name it. However, as human being take water for digestion and to aid our normal body temperature, vehicles also make use of water to aid their temperature. The issue is, car owners do not bother about what water is best for their car as to most people, water is water so far it is not dirty and as far as vehicles are concerned. A lot of people have caused damage to their cars ranging from rust in the radiator to partial clogging of the radiator hose and particles settling down the reservoir. People in the Lagos Island area would ordinarily not see anything bad in using water from their wells or boreholes to fill their radiator as coolant whereas water in that area has high concentrate of salinity (salt water) which is capable of causing corrosion within the radiator. Likewise, people who often enjoy the government-provided pipe-borne water in their areas will not think twice when filling their car radiator with this type of water from Water Corporation. The pipe borne water is a treated kind of water, meaning that calcium, fluorine, chlorine and other necessary compounds will be present in the water to make it portable for human consumption, not for car consumption. The point here is not to say that water gotten from the above sources are totally bad for vehicle consumption. The home-sourced water (e.g. tap, well or bore-hole) are the most easily accessible water for any car user to apply to the radiator, but not the best for cars. Having talked about different waters and their possible effect on the radiator, the question now is what water then is good for a car? There are better choices of water. Rain water is a very good choice for the car radiator because it has a very low mineral composition and it does not contain particles, but it is not always in constant supply as seasons change. Another better water is distilled water (most table/bottled water). The minerals in distilled water have been removed and that makes it a better choice for car. These are superior choices of water than the conventional tap or pipe-borne water being used by most car users. But which of these now is the best? The answer is probably the most unexpected one, a very unlikely guess by anybody - water that drop from the Air conditioner! An air conditioner unit is a closed cycle system that condenses atmospheric air to a liquid, then expand and vaporize the already cooled air, draws out heat (evaporates heat), then pumps the condensed air to where it cools and re-condenses then goes through the cycle all over again. The water that drips out is actually the condensed water droplets from the water vapour that is present in air. When the air passes through this Evaporator, it gets cooled to a much lower temperature which causes the water vapour present in it to get condensed. The condensed water is finally drains out of the air conditioner through a collecting hose. Water from the air-conditioner, either the split unit or window unit does not contain mineral composition that may cause irritation to your car unlike the natural water from well or bore-hole. To get air-conditioner (A/C) water in a sufficient quantity, a bucket can be placed to collect the water from the hose that convey the water from the A/C. The water may be stored in a jerrycan from where you take the needed quantity for your car's radiator each time you need to fill it. It is best to fill the radiator via the reservoir and be sure not to go beyond the maximum level as indicated on the reservoir. The reservoir is the covered plastic container that has a hose connecting it to the radiator, its purpose is to supply water to the radiator when the radiator water depletes. In the case of filling the radiator directly, it is not good to keep filling the radiator after water level has risen to the brim and start spilling, this is because when your car engine runs and the water gets very hot, it expands and if there is no enough space for the expanded water to occupy, it will put unnecessary force on your radiator cap (cover/lid) which will soon cause the cap to lose its capacity to hold pressure. The function of the radiator fan is to blow on the radiator to cool the water as the water runs through the radiator. The fan also expels heat from the engine. For instance, if you hold a tiny piece of paper in front of the fan, when you release the paper the fan is supposed to suck the paper, that is how it sucks heat from the engine. If the fan blows away the paper, then the fan is not working effectively. It is advisable not to run your fan directly by by-passing the relay that is supposed to control the fan, many mechanics have wrongly convinced a lot of car owners to run their fan directly by tapping power from the battery directly or from a socket that supplies power to an entirely different component. Then when the car ignition is turned, the fan starts rolling immediately whereas the fan is supposed to wait until the engine gets warm before it picks up to cool the engine. Running the fan directly will shorten the life span of the fan and also make your car consume fuel abnormally. Don’t change the manufacturer specified radiator (either from single cell to double or vice versa) and it is also not advisable to change your radiator fan (either from single to double fans or vice versa) as manufacturers that made the car know exactly what is best for the car. Don’t let any Kazeem convince you to change anything against the manufacturer’s specification under any circumstance either because of overheating or cooling system. Another “don’t” is that, don’t let any mechanic advise you to remove the thermostat from your car because of overheating problem, the thermostat regulates your car temperature (probably another topic for another day). Conclusion, always ensure that your car is not starved of water and ensure you check your car water or coolant level (if yours uses coolant) as recommended by manufacturers or car experts and depending on how far you drive the car regularly. If your car radiator uses coolant, make sure you top the coolant with same kind of coolant when it is necessary to do so (about once a year). If yours is the green type of coolant, top it with green, if it’s pink, use the pink to refill it. Note that you don't necessarily have to keep opening the radiator cap everyday as that can cause the cap to lose its pressure-holding capacity. Ensure that you always look at your instrument cluster to check the temperature level of your car engine and to know which indicator light is up and what it is saying, all the indicator lights will normally appear when you start the car and should go off immediately. Anyone that remains on is saying something, that is how your car can easily communicate with you. It is normal for the temperature gauge on the instrument cluster to rise to the middle and stay there, anything above the middle line calls for an urgent attention. Happy weekend and enjoy your rides! NB: Please note that Air Conditioner water is not to be consumed by human! Signed out.

I recommend this old 1993 Honda Accord if you are looking for 2nd or 3rd hand Nigerian used car. Very rugged, cheap to use and can run like mad, I have one and it speeds like jet. No wonder it is still common on the roads till today. Any objection?

drnoel:Did you say you don't have to check fluids in modern cars?? You are an accident waiting to happen. |
I have been using Double King (Tokunbo for that matter) for a long time, since 2014, and I don't have any issues. |
See Car. Nigerians and the way they use cars sha! If this is how Oyinbo people maintain their cars before sending to Naija as tokunbo, how many Nigerians will have cars today. |
Hope he will also be sending fuel money everyday? |
Officialpdpnig:Is it only APC (Buhari) and PDP (Atiku) the only party/people contesting for presidency? Nigerians use your sense, you can't continue voting same old people and expect a new different result. Don't put yourself under perpetual bondage of APC/PDP. #I have spoken. |
Just 2 months used? Oga why you wan sell am? |
Offpoint:Go an' port to MTN |
6. No job security. Your job is always on the line if your boss does not write a good appraisal about you, or if your bank doesn't make enough profit as expected, or if you make a costly mistake, or if a customer complains about you, or if a misery shopper catch you unguided. If you are a contract staff the next morning may be your last day at work without notice. 7. You may be living your life in perpetual debts. As a banker, you are often cajoled into taking loans, if you take a loan you may not be able to finish paying in the next 5 years or more. Even if eventually you pay up, they will push another one to you or you may even be tempted to take another loan in order to acquire an expensive car or get an apartment that is normally beyond your level just because you want to live big. your entire life may be cycling around debt payment even after your ass has been kicked out of the job. Most bankers live a fake life, they live on borrowed money (loan). 8. You will not enjoy your health. Banking job is so worrisome and tormenting that top bankers usually develop high blood pressure despite the huge pay and bonuses that drop in their account everytime. There is always a bad loan, non-performing loan, list of defaulters, creditors to pursue, recovery strategies, endless action plans to execute and tonnes of heart-choking stuffs to run after. 9. Harassment. [/b]Bankers and Bank workers face many forms of harassment either from senior colleagues, customer or potential customers. Female folks especially face sexual harassment in a bid to meet their bogus targets. Also, bank staff face all manner of emotional harassment from angry and frustrated bosses who have probably had a bad day at an executive meeting or have been scolded and threatened by a senior executive at the head office or over the phone. Transfer of aggression is the order of the day among different levels of bank staff. 10. [b] Lack of proper plan for ones personal life. Bankers lives are always a cycle around their job. They most of the time, don't always have a personal development plan, if at all there is any, it is the one that will be in the interest of their work, that is whey when their job fails, they are bereft of Plan B and they are left stranded, to maintain the expensive lifestyle becomes an issue. The nature of the bank job in this part of the world is such that bankers' lives are tied around their industry. They hardly have time to think about their future as they often believe that that is how life will continue until they die or the world ends, a reason they are shocked to the marrow if the job stops unexpectedly. |
