Originakalokalo:
Okay.

I get your point.

From Zuba to lokoja is approx 180km.

With average speed of 90km/hr one will cover this distance in 2 hours.

Originakalokalo:
Thank you.

This is appreciated.

However, 8:00am ke?

Haba chairman. Lokoja from zuba should be 2 hours max.

Ishilove:
I'm not supposed to laugh, but the presentation makes the story funny.

There is hunger in the land, my sister. I am reminded of a roasted corn seller who was kidnapped many years ago during the Jonathan era. Her ransom: recharge card and a bag of gari. I kid you not.

We thought Jonathan was bad. We did not know that we left Egypt and by our hands crowned Beelzebub.

Good gurus. I am having issues with the front gear of my HONDA DC car. I usually leave my house every morning using back (revise ) but as soon as I return it to D (drive),the car finds it hard to engage until after a series of firing ,Though it will eventually move but there is always a delay. I went to work with it and after the days work, I went straight to my car and as usual it refused to enter gear but after a little frustration it later engaged. I have taken it to different mechanics and they are all saying different things. PLEASE WHAT DO I DO.? Am I to buy a new gear?

Originakalokalo:
I intend to leave Abuja by 5:00 am.

Is this too early? considering the security situations in the country?

Anyone? Please?

Kingkom:
Aba, precisely. If you have a capable person here I won't mind getting in touch with him.

Kingkom:
Thank you for your quick response. Is it something I can do myself or I take it to a mechanic? I am not in Lagos and I fear the mechanics here in East.

speedfreak:
Good morning Op,
I drove from Lagos to Abuja on Friday and the Jos the next day. A few pointers though,
1. Leave early, 5am if possible, there’s some construction at Obajana so the re route would take you an hour or two if it rains.
2. Omuo roads are terrible so give and take another hour added to ETA.
3. Have your wipers, headlights and defogger checked, it’s pretty difficult to drive late while it’s raining if any of these aren’t working properly.
4. Enjoy the trip, your first leg(Abuja to lokoja) is very good, make up for the time you’d lose on that road, Godspeed brother, please keep us updated.

Emilokan1:
coming from under the mango tree mechanic, I'll take that as a compliment

Tinubu:
Kindly educate us on the "unsafe" practice of refilling shocks Sir..




With verifiable statistics of people who vehicles with refilled shocks have killed, or stranded...

Or just allow op and the rest of us refill our shocks in peace.

Emilokan1:
[s]that's very impossible sir .this your exaggerated response further confirms my fears of your level of level of nonsense. If it doesn't locate you soon,pls go look for it[/s]

Tinubu:
20w50 oil is hardly recommended by any car manufacturer, but people use it.. and their vehicles aren't dead yet

A large percentage of some Honda and Toyota parts in Nigeria aren't OEM.. but people use them..People have been improvising in vehicles since time immemorial..

Refilled shocks are safe as far as I can tell.. As long as they are refilled in pairs.. I have been in the practice of refilling my shocks for years.. And I am yet to encounter any driveability issues.

Emilokan1:
when will sense finally locate you sir?

Tinubu:
I speak from experience

I drive a 2010 Honda Accord.. Bought direct toks.. All shocks that came with it still intact.. Refilled the front ones early last year.. And they are still perfect..

If refilled shocks aren't any good, why do those part sellers offer to buy the bad leaky ones? .. So that they can refill, wash and resell as toks yeah?

Originakalokalo:
Update:

I have changed upper arm, tye rod and Ball joint.

I will be changing breakpad and filling my shocks.

I will buy two new tyres for the front and two tokunbo tyres for the rear.

Ac, central lock and little issues will be addressed.

Tinubu:
Collect 3500 and have somebody crank your vehicle battery into oblivion in the middle of nowhere.. And happily watch him drive off


You wey no be ode

oneman11:
I have 50kg big bags of Irish potatoes available for supply within Abuja and to other part of Nigeria at a discounted rate of 12000 per bag with delivery included.

Tinubu:
Your nonsense vehicle killed someone's battery and you are here talking nonsense ..

As you were insisting on that 4500, what if that guy held you right there and insisted you return the battery the same way he gave you?.. Abi as you were renting the battery for 3500, was it dead battery he gave you?.. Or you had an agreement with him that for that paltry 3500, you will murder his battery?

When you pay 2m to rent wedding hall for just one afternoon, does that give a right to demolish the wedding hall or even its furnitures and fittings?.. Abi as you pay ashawo 50k for naks, that one come give you right to kill am?

It's the guy who gave you the battery I blame.. On the very slim chance that I am lending out my car battery to start another car, if after 3 cranks at most, and that car doesn't start, I will jejely collect my battery before pesin go use weyrey moto kill my battery ..because it is obvious that whatever is wrong with the vehicle, it isn't a low battery issue.

The guy had a right to even collect 10k from you for assisting you with his battery... He doesn't owe you anything. You wey comot from wherever with hard starting motor and dead battery for night, what were you expecting? ... Dude should have charged you 1k per battery crank. By the time you do am 4 times and your useless motor no gree start, you go find alternative solution.. Because of nonsense 3500 wey you pay, na im you dey use pesin pikin battery crank motor continously for 20 minutes ...You know how much be new battery for market now?

You are very lucky you didn't try this nonsense with someone who will insist that night that you pay him the battery price in full for killing his battery..That's if e no even forget 2-by-2 plank for your head or use wheel spanner comot your teeth ...

Even if e collect 100k from you for using his battery, as long as e no sell am give you, you have a duty to return his property to him the charged state he gave you..Abi na flat battery the man rent give you?

You are very lucky you got away with this.. As in.. Very very lucky..

Originakalokalo:

Thanks for your responses.

DaddyFreeze2020:
That is not a long journey Mr. Man.
Its the daily route of all transporters and most people coming to Abuja from Lagos and vice vera.
If you want to post a long journey, talk of Maiduguri to Lagos.

KARMA IS REAL.

A Driver made me pay him 3500 yesterday night around 12:30am on eleko road to jump start my car. All my pleading to pay him 1500-2k proved abortive.

He insisted I pay 3500. I had no choice than to pay. He had to confirm his payment before he could help me else, he would leave.

Thankfully, he got his alert in no time. Brought his battery to start my car and after many attempts to start my car, it finally started after about 2omins. (my car did hard starting ).

My car started, I closed my bonnet and waited for him to fix his battery so we could path our ways.

Only for him to connect his battery but battery don die���

Dude now wanted me to help him free of charge to help jump start his car.

Omo, I collected 4500 before helping him.

What happens to humanity?
Why taking advantage of someone in distress?
I'm sure he learnt his lesson.

Control7:

Bro as a follow up question, what kind of paint is used for wheel painting?

Are you in Abuja? Please drop your contact number let me call relating to 2004 Mercedes e350.

jceesquare:
Most aftermarket spoiler on cars here is actually doing the opposite of what it should do.

WycliffeSMB:
Okay Sir. I will get a replacement.

How much could it cost me?

Conner44:
That’s your oxygen sensor. Order for a replacement complete sensor because it comes joined together with it’s wiring OR look for a good electrician to join that one back to its harness under the carpet of your vehicle

My 03 Camry is overheating.

I can’t find a leak.

One fan works on startup. The other when AC is on.

Water dries off in max two days. I don’t know if it’s the engine burning the water or something else. I am scared of giving the car to Kazeems Cos the two I have asked said thermostat removal and fan direct connection straight.

Abeg Gazzuzz I need to see you o
