You go grow white bear bear nongonuse google deybthere dey wait for experience because I be tails by moon light teller.

So fear dey catch you?
Did you not do your research very well b4 you converted your car from peteo to CNG?

If your levels never reach to buy a 2025 Prado, humble yourself, don't go and comvert or upgrade a GX470 to 2022 Prado. It will never be a 2022 car, never!

So, if you want a CNG car save up and buy the one that was produced from factory not all those roadside workshop that didn't go through the proper research, design and foundational production, test and approval. They are a time.bomb waitimg to explode.

Thank you for your "intelligent" response. Have a good day.

How I escaped with family lost my mechanic, car to Otedola Bridge fire – Dotun Oladipo

I write this with both pain and gratitude. Pain for the loss of a hardworking and honest man, Rotimi Olaleye, a devoted father who single-handedly raised his children after his wife’s passing five years ago. He was also a meticulous and reliable mechanic, as attested by his clients, including myself. Though I met him less than a week before his death, his impact remains unforgettable. Gratitude? I was just seconds away from the inferno that claimed his life, along with my wife and first child.

I met him on March 8, 2025, after deciding to change my mechanic. He came highly recommended by Mr. Akinola Ayeni, the best car air conditioning technician I had encountered. We took my car for a test drive, and he quickly identified issues, including a dangerously loose ABS wire. He fixed it immediately but insisted other repairs wait until Monday due to prior commitments. I appreciated his honesty.

On Monday, I took the car to him. He was thorough and refused to rush the job, despite knowing I planned to bring my other car for servicing afterward.

On Tuesday morning, an accident occurred on Otedola Bridge, delaying my wife’s trip. We live in a well-organised estate near OPIC in Ogun State. Meanwhile, Mr. Olaleye, stuck in traffic from Mowe, kept updating me on his progress until 6 PM when he declared the car ready.

When I asked if I should come over, he refused, wanting the car washed first. I offered to handle it the next day, but he insisted. At 7 PM, he called to say the washing was done.

I informed my wife, Mrs. Taiwo Oladipo, and we prepared to leave. However, our daughter, Ewaoluwa, a 500-level Chemical Engineering student, was still at a friend’s house, so we waited. Later, en route, my wife and daughter insisted we buy drinking water at a supermarket in Ogba, where it was cheaper. Though reluctant, I relented. This delay lasted about 10 minutes.

Navigating through the New Afrika Shrine area, we approached the mechanic village gate where Mr. Olaleye waited. As we descended Otedola Bridge, my wife spotted an out-of-control truck.

Instinct took over—I swerved toward CMD Road. Within seconds, the truck crashed, rupturing its gas-filled tanker. The sky turned blue, a telltale sign of escaping gas. As I dialed Mr. Olaleye’s number, the explosion erupted.

Panic ensued. A woman banged on my car, urging me to move. My wife was also agitated, but I hesitated, hoping to reach Mr. Olaleye. His phone rang, then stopped.

I called Mr. Ayeni, who was at Agidingbi. He had just spoken to Mr. Olaleye, who was still waiting with my car. By the time Mr. Ayeni and others arrived, they found Mr. Olaleye lying face down, barely alive. He had told his apprentices to flee while he attempted to save my car. Sadly, he didn’t survive. That night, I wept.


In the short time I knew him, Mr. Olaleye left a lasting impact. His work ethic was unparalleled. I only wish he had answered my last call—to abandon the car and run.

I later learned a Zenith Bank staff member and his wife also perished. He had just returned from vacation that day. May their souls, and those of others lost, rest in peace.

The Lagos State Government’s emergency response was swift, yet insufficient. Only one fire truck arrived initially, exhausting its water before another came 15–20 minutes later. By the time help reached Mr. Olaleye, it was too late. However, the authorities cleared the scene within 18 hours, a commendable effort.

Second Coming Gas Company, which owned the truck, responded by assisting hospitalised victims and engaging affected technicians, including plans to support Mr. Olaleye’s children. However, the truck was reportedly faulty, and the driver was likely trying to manage it into a station on CMD Road—a disaster waiting to happen.

Lagosians pay N15,000 for third-party insurance, yet it offers no coverage for fire-related accidents. This system benefits insurance companies while leaving victims stranded.

The Federal Road Safety Corps and Lagos State Traffic Emergency Management Agency must enforce traffic laws more stringently, especially for commercial vehicles. Private vehicle owners bear the brunt of regulations, while reckless truck drivers continue to endanger lives. Until this changes, tragedies like Otedola Bridge will persist.

More and more people are delaying having children until their late 30s or 40s. But as you age, so do your ovaries and the eggs inside them. You cannot see or feel these changes, and they happen faster than you may think.

A woman's peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline happens faster once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely.


You begin life with a fixed number of eggs in your ovaries. The number of eggs decreases as you get older. Also, the remaining eggs are more likely to have abnormal chromosomes. And as you age, you are more likely to have developed health conditions that can affect fertility, such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis.

Alsenora:
Lols...he literally merged his executive function and that of his loyalist lawmakers together in his office.

A dictator and a tyrant

Ugochinyere should mind his imo state. He should stop fanning embers of trouble in Rivers State.

RSIEC Chairman must obey HoA summons. It is legitimate. Unless he's playing politics then he should be sacked.

Where is he getting the funds for the elections? The Supreme Court ruled that the CBN and all other financial institutions should desist from dealing with the Rivers State government.

Fubara stopped payment of HOA salaries and allowances for a whole year.... Kai he deserves whatever he's getting and coming to him.

Him mind no go touch ground unless he amends his ways.

Gentledove2001:
. If now obvious that the assembly guys have the backing of the presidency, they use the supreme court to make it look like rule of law.

False. The governor refused the presidential mediation. He went ahead to demolish the HoA complex. Declared the duly elected lawmakers seats vacant due to a spurious defection... Went on air to say the speaker is existing by the governor's grace.... Concocted a gang led by jumbo as his own assembly sitting inside the governors office....

He's a traitor. He needs to be a leader whatever that takes.

Fubara has exposed his treacherous personality to the world

This is tokunbo for crying out loud . Are you people from.this planet? All of you.will visit the market and come back home frustrated ...but when you are on nairaland ...you begin to express shock of price of cars as if you don't know what is currently happening with our economy .I don't want to assume you all are being fed by your parents ..Even a child of today knows that a park of small size endomie now goes for 300 to 500 naira ...something that use to be 50 naira ...even a bag of pure water is now 500naira from 100naira .The value of money is what money can buy ...those cars you bought for N1.5m in the past now goes for 5m to 6m ...face reality

It is sad. Happy sales bro

Be strong man, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTIEST IS WITH you

God is never the author of confusion which Fubara represents

Fubara is the problem with governance in Rivers State

According to the apex court, Fubara’s fear of impeachment led to his cat-and-mouse relationship with the Amaewhule group. Justice Emmanuel Agim, in the lead judgment, held that the governor started the prevention of the sittings of the assembly as constituted by its members as prescribed by Section 96 of the Constitution.

His reliance on Sections 102 and 109 of the Constitution and the Doctrine of Necessity, His Lordship said, “is to continue the brazen subversion of Rivers State House of Assembly, the 1999 Constitution and legitimate government in Rivers State.

Having by his own admission engaged in a series of illegal activities just to prevent the other 27 lawmakers from participating in the proceedings of the House to carry out their legitimate legislative duties which they were elected to do, his resort to the aforesaid Sections 102 and 109 and the Doctrine of Necessity on the basis of his allegation that they have defected is a red herring to perpetuate his subversion of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the 1999 Constitution and democratic government in Rivers State”.


The court was not done: “The governor had collapsed the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Therefore, no question about any member having lost his seat in that House due to defection can validly arise.

There must be a House of Assembly for any constitutional processes therein to take place. The claim that the 27 members are no longer members of the House on the basis of an alleged defection is a continuation of his determination to prevent them from participating in the proceedings of the House.

It is an engagement in chicanery. What is clear is that the 27 lawmakers are still valid members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and cannot be prevented from participating in the proceedings of the House by the governor in cahoots with the four other members. Sections 102 and 109 cannot be invoked in aid of this unconstitutional enterprise”.

Berating the governor for choosing to collapse the legislature to enable him govern as a despot , the apex court declared: “As it is, there is no government in Rivers State… political disagreements cannot justify these attacks and contempt for the rule of law by the governor of a state or any person.

What he has done is to destroy the government for the fear of being impeached”. With this decision, the case before the Port Harcourt High Court seeking to sack the 27 lawmakers for alleged defection has become mere academic exercise. It is as dead as a dodo.

None of them, go and get a manual 1.4 to 1.6L car or be ready to convert to CNG

Please tell me about your journey into CNG?

Also the HOA's disregard for the governor.

They obviously still see him as a small boy, a boy who should never have been governor.

I have never seen anywhere in this country where a HOA gave a governor anything like a summon talkless of a 48 hour ultimatum.

What Fubara did is just a deliberate tit for tat.

The parliament can summon the executive head or any member of the executive council. They're the representatives of the people

I do not think so

Pearl1910:
TBH it will be hard to get a good 08 Civic for 4m.

Except u are ready to buy for less and spend extra money to bring it up to shape

SHARE the gist of your friend and his factory CNG matter....

Felicity001:
I don't wish anyone bad, just make sure you go for regular checkup because that cng thing is like a time bomb waiting.to explode. My friend almost got killed on his 2015 camry... the explosion started with his wiper malfunction

Me.i dislike anything artificial, the BMW I just got cane with an android screen, I'm already making plans to reverse to factory.

If I want to drive an electric/CNG/SOLAR.or whatsoever car I'll wait till I have the money to afford it, I won't be ignorant again to buy a converted Benz or upgrade Prado 2022 from GX470... I'll wait till when nature/the universe brings it to me.

If na tortoise can I can afford today I'll. Buy it and drive it with all pleasure and pride.

@izzou one thing I'll never do is put myself under unnessary pressure to carter or please or satisfy my family, if it's school bus I can afford, let them use it, if na bike let them.fly bike, if na trek let them trek, when the time for chopper comes and I can afford it at ease ill do it without a blink.
My wife can not tell me which car to buy for her, neither will put myself under unhealthily situation just because I want a car for drop off and pick up. Na as my power reach ingo do, if she no like bettle (tortoise car) make she rest.

What matters is the quality education and human training you impart into their lives, not the cost of school fees and the type of car that takes them to school.

If you like buy G63 to take them to school, if the child will grow up to be a big person or poor person that G63 or keke napped won't change anything.

No go kill yourself because you want the best for your wife and kids, if you drop dead today, they'll live on, sane way I continue to survive ever since my dad died

ddippset:


Body dey pepper you sha.. You sound like a regular disgruntled housewife.

Na the word summon dey pain you so?

You ought to know that one could be diplomatic and polite while being mischievous.

Take it from me Fubara knows why he invited them to his office..

Ideally a governor goes to the parliament to see the lawmakers, normally.
Inviting them is an insult, no matter how sweetly he paints it.

Think Think Think

A big insult. But also exposes Fubara's persistent disregard for the HoA, Nigeria's constitution and utter incompetence as a governor and empty arrogance

Ginomel:
You are on point. It's a political strategy to gain people sympathy and validation that the assembly members are the problem not him

Smart approach. .

It's a foolish approach. It exposes his incompetence and empty arrogance.

Senioreddy:
Lols, no need to argue. God will spare our lives beyond that time.

Amen. I am watching....
