EducationRe: Have You Ever Been Caught With Expo Before? Share Your Experience by king406(m): 4:25am On Jul 19, 2016
kikilove:
Reminds me of when I was in school.i never carried expo cause almost all my lecturers thought my Shakara was too much I dey do fine gal so I wouldn't bother reading a book at all,for that reason they were always checking on me in the exam hall nd changing my seats like an undecided spinster lol.........well in 200l we had this particular course, I try read the thing tire e nor enter my head oh so I went to complain to a class mate of mine,he said ahhhh that's easy na he would write with an empty pen on a copy of my school fees print out that way only me can see it in the hall.na so I allow am write oh,the next day we went to the hall and he gave it to me.i sat down nd held it.Exam never start I done dey shake dey sweat like a sinner in church because of what I was holding. Na so one of our lecturer come nd said everybody out, u would file in nd arrange yourselves again,as I hear that one I fly go out side throw expo inside my bag nd took out a clean school fees printout then went back in. As soon as the exams started, one external lecturer came in. Omo the guy just walked straight to me nd said stand up bring out ur school fees printout, I brought it out he looked at it closely,raised it in the sunlight turned the front nd back didn't see anything.he said give me ur booklet I did, same checking oh didn't see anything he said come out of ur sit I came out,he bent down nd checked under my desk, at this point my course mates were laughing oh cause dem know say I nor dey carry expo normally ironically a gal carrying expo all over her body was two seats away from me but she looks quiet nd innocent.as the man check e nor see anything he said I should turn around which I did e nor see anything that was Hw he asked me to sit down nd continue. Omo na that day I agree say that man dey use juju dey know who carry expo nd dat was the first nd last time I attempted it in my life.till I finish school I dey go read till day break during exams ohhh the ones I nor know I go ask questions shekina..........sorry for the errors grin grin

Car TalkRe: Where Can One Buy Premium Fuel ( High Octane )? by king406(m): 7:41am On Jul 03, 2016
TouaregV8:
Hi nkc,

Thank you for your vehicle details.  Am I right in assuming your Passat is a V6 with 30 Valves.  As you rightly said your vehicle requires premium fuel.

The USA use a slightly different measurement for its fuel, namely, Pump Octane Number (PON).  Most other countries use the Research Octane Number (RON) method.

Premium unleaded fuel in the States is equivalent to RON 95, used in the rest of the world, e.g. Nigeria and Europe.  In short your car needs RON 95 to run effectively and achieve optimum performance.

The Octane Booster I use in my Jeep comes in a 500ml bottle, which treats 60 litres of fuel - Perfect for calculations/measurements for your Passat.

Bearing in mind the relatively low cost of petrol in Nigeria (70 Naira per litre), the question is, how sensitive are you to paying more for better quality fuel?
By my calculations it currently cost you approximately 4,200 Naira to fill up your tank.

In the UK we are currently paying the equivalent of 248 Naira per litre, and it is rising every day! This equates to 14,880 Naira for a 60 litre car.

All the best.
wow! 70 naira per liter in 2008 sad.. 2016 we dey 145 per liter!! Wetin dey do this naija sef angry

Siena, I bet you've added more knowledge on this, I'm in a dilemma here so please help me out if u can. I'm soon getting a new ride, BMW 335i '010 which requires premium gas. I've learnt here that I will need premium gas to get the optimum performance, I really want all of that 300 horses and it being a turbocharged engine I bet I'm gonna need a lot of octane booster. Please how do I go about using this product? Can u suggest a particular brand? I also want to start using the booster for my 06 MB C230 which also requires premium fuel. I've been using the regular fuel sold in Nigeria without doing any research on the required fuel for the MB. Will I have any problems when I start using boosters for it? Also, my brother is on the verge of buying a 012 MB GLK350 which also requires premium fuel. Should he also use the octane booster? I read somewhere that as of 2011 most cars can make use of both regular and premium gas but the engine on that car was introduced in 2006. What's your professional advise?

Siena:
[color=Blue]Was the VIO's citing you parking in the wrong place as a reason for them removing your license plates wrong? You give the impression that they picked on you for no reason.

You were illegally parked, and your license plates were confiscated to ensure you return to pay the fine, and also as a means of tracing you. Now you intend to illegally obtain a cloned set of license plates, to circumvent the law.

Do you find it difficult to do the right thing, for a change?[/color]

That is Boko-Haram on the highway!! Just dey cancel express like suicide bomber.....grin

What is your experience with the car?? Is it a fuel guzzler like they say, or na deity whey you go dey use money and mechanic go dey issue sacrifice every week or............... grin
fuel guzzler ke? Na lie o. I've been using the car since October last year. Bought it toks. A quarter of the tank takes me to kaduna from Abuja with the AC on and speed up to 160 to 180 and multiple kickdowns. The car only entered a mechanics workshop once, and na steering pump wey spoil sef. And I travel weekly with it. Abj to kaduna on Fridays and back on Sunday. Like this afternoon I filled my tank from Abuja and I'm here now in kaduna with quarter to a full tank. I drove at my normal speed of 180 with freezing AC.

ehissi:
It's obvious to even the most simple minded of Mercedes Benz fans that you know nothing about Mercedes Benz.

If you took offense at King406's comment, then let me apologize in advance before I give mine.

AMG cars - which are a special series of Sporty version of classic cars made by Mercedes - have one thing in common; their model numbers are double digits as opposed to their regular models which are usually Tripple digits. This is the standard format of issuing model numbers that Mercedes Benz uses to distinguish AMG cars from regular cars.

For example, an AMG version of a G wagon Mercedes Benz would be the G86 or G63. It would sound dumb to a Mercedes Benz fan to bring a G wagon labeled AMG and the model is G550 and you say it's an AMG model??

It's either the model number or year is wrong or the Metal badge displaying the model number at the rear end of the car is wrong.

Thats why King406 can boldly tell you without even inspecting the car that Your car isn't an AMG model. AMG C65 or C55 from Mercedes sounds more like it and not C230 AMG.

The steering wheel and even the dashboard suggests to me - depending on where the car was made - that attempts were made to p!mp the car.

It has the dashboard of a regular 05/06 C class but the steering wheel of a C class coupe - I stand to be corrected on this - but yet you called it an 05!! Quite interesting.........

Once again, as for the C230 AMG; that is wrong labelling.

Hope you understand now...................no pun intended!!
thank you jare. I was trying to correct the man but he insulted me. As in this is car I actually use. Mine is 2006 model with V6 engine. The amg of c230 is called c32 amg. Even from the engine pic he posted I can see that it is a 2.3 ltr supercharged engine.. Which benz calls kompressor. His car is a 2005 c230 kompressor. But the man no wan hear
