good roads alone will not put food on the table. you need industries to provide steady jobs for the citizen. the super highway is a road of great economic value, as it will serve as an evacuation corridor for goods produced in the industries. all are still laudable projects.

Cross River State Garment Factory is the largest garment factory in the world by floor size and is awaiting the Guinness Book of World Records verification. The factory is a project of the Cross River State government under the leadership of Ben Ayade, the executive governor of the state.The garment factory is a very innovative investment in Nigeria at a time of recession and is expectedto create more than 3,000 jobs in shifts for Cross Riverians, especially women, and reduce importation of garments by promoting local production. The factory is expected to also promote economic development in Nigeria and add to the growth of the Gross Domestic Product.In recent times, the Cross River Garment Factory has been trending in the media for many good reasons. The first is that of all the states in the federation, the factory is one of the most outstandingprojects from any governor in the first year.On the other hand there has been some negative publicity related to the garment factory propagated by a few Cross Riverians which has to do with the ownership of the garment factory and alleged embezzlement of funds appropriated for its construction.I sought to find out more about the Cross River Garment factory for myself and many other Cross Riverians who would love to know the truth about the factory and separate them from the half-truths and lies being peddled in the media.In this journey of discovery, I took a trip to the garment factory to see things for myself, met the commissioner for Commerce and Industries and had a chat with him and spoke with some of the contractors involved in the construction of the factory.

Most of you on this forum don't read to understand simple questions.
The enquirer (OP) painted a scenario which is also a hypothesis. It was an assumption; and as such he inputs the 50ltrs of gasoline.
Here is what you do not know regarding a V6 engine and an i4 engine (6cylinders and 4cylinders).

1)V6 has so much horse power that it climb up a hill on the highway with 5 able bodied passengers and their luggages on a constant RPM, the 4cylinders has a remarkable shortcomings in this regards.
2) When it also comes to using your HVAC system (AC) on the above mentioned engines, on a V6 the drag and extra workload the compressor imposes on the engine is almost zero cause there is so much horse power, but on an i4 engine the reverse is the case.

Uncle, I have both vehicle and I do not need any of you to lecture me on the consumption ratios. Your argument can tell that you are one of those that have this Nigerian phobia for a V6 engine, eliminate your fears OK?

anneki:
Below are the fuel consumption figures for an RX 300 according to Lexus.

City Driving: 16mpg
Highway Driving : 21mpg

A 2003 model year 4-Cylinder RAV4 will do the following according to Toyota

City Driving: 21mpg
Highway Driving : 27mpg

A 2005 model year 4-Cylinder Honda EOD will do the following according to Honda

City Driving: 21mpg
Highway Driving : 31mpg

So your decision will really be influenced by the car you are comparing the RX300 to. Please note that these are the figures touted by the manufacturers when these cars are brand new.

Real life figures will be different especially as we incorporate all the other factors - age, state of engine, etc. And also that Lagos state has a different category not captured by any of the manufacturers which is traffic / go-slow driving.

I hope this helps.


You can get figures from the site provided by nurey in an earlier post.

At the bold, V6 will consume 30ltrs with Air Condition and 45litrs without Air Condition, that`s on a Highway journey.

A rule of thumb, I check my fluids once a month regardless.............

@2- I once read on an article that a airplane can successfully land with one engin if the other engines get shut off (one engine can generate enough thrust for safe landing), but it experience comes into play. Another article I read said an airplane with failed engines (all engines shut down), can still sustain gliding in the air for about 1000km (not sure of the figure though, if it is 100 or 1000) with the initially generated thrust, before it drops from the sky (stalling). Now the question is, is that true?
@ 3- I have been curious about something since I was a kid: all the engines in n airplane shuts down, can one get the engines back online and the airplane "picking up" without any form of taxi-ing? (I hope you understand the question)
And finally @ 4- I guess the question the other person was trying to ask if it is highly flammable like gasoline, or a little stubborn like diesel (some of us are curious. We know fuel must burn before an engine can get enough energy to power the propellers that generate thrust).
Now my own question :
A-is it through the name of commercial airplane's fuel is "kerosene"?
B- are they commercial airplane that run on diesel like some training airplane like DA 40 and DA-42 (NB- DA= Diamond Aircraft) ?
C- what is/ are the name of the impurities added to the fuel of aircrafts that prevent them from freezing in the air when temperature drops?
Sorry for the lenghty post

lionlee216:
They do say "Plane crashed" due to an engine failure. Now using boeing 777 which has 2 engines to attached to the wings as an example, when plane is in motion, does the two engines work at the same time OR one will be in standby mode while one is working?

Secondly, IF two engines are working at the same time, does it make any sense saying plane crashed when two engines are working or are they saying the two engines stopped working at the same time?

Lastly, If it is only one engine working while one is in standby mode, if they notice an sign of engine failure, how many seconds will it take the second engine to start working when there is a fault detected on the first engine while in air.

Also is aviation fuel flammable?


Are there bulletproof planes

I see some planes' wings that at the end of the wings, they are bended vertically upward, does it really matter or it is just a form of "packaging"

Also, are private jets expensive than commercial jets


Pls, dont tell me to ask google ooo.. lol

Last week Friday, I was avoiding a heavy traffic congestion along East West road @ Port Harcourt in the rain so I took an alternative route with no idea it was flooded. I reached a point where the water was covering the whole engine, the car almost gave up in the water but I never stopped firing to avoid water getting into the exhaust pipe cos if it did, the car would off and it's a bigger problem. I saw not less than 20 cars go off in the water. At the end, I succeeded in getting to the other side, just me and another guy using a Ford Ranger. What saved me was
1. If you must pass through a flood above knee level or waist level like I did, be sure to trust your car alternator and keep firing but not too fast to avoid water into ur exhaust.
2. be sure there are no leakages in your exhaust pipe anywhere under the car and be sure there are no wholes under the car else u would have a swimming pool in the car.
3. After passing through, do not turn off the car, the car would be slow to responding because a little water is still in the exhaust, do not fire too much, press and release gradually, u would see a white smoke coming out of the exhaust, until it stops then u are sure of no water inside.
4. Do not try passing if your car fan is rotating. Why I had no issue with the fan was because, it doesn't rotate at all except when necessary. That's how it was built.
5. Do not use the AC at all except u wanna destroy compressor and a whole lot.

Always stop and go round the car to check for falling bumper due to pressure of the water when it is a large one like the one I passed through.
It's better not to even pass to avoid all of the above. Have a great day.

daslimdude:
Please sir HELP I am having problem with my lx 570 2008 model. I was driving through traffic and the break depressed and couldn't hold down properly with a loud disturbing sound. I wanted to drive it like that back home before calling my mechanic next day because it was late in the night. Within another 5 mins the vehicle could move even when the gear could shift in all positions. The mechanic told me i have to change the front axle and I'm doubting if that is the porblem. Anyone has a solution?

NikzonConsult:
How sure are you about that sir? It has been proven to work perfectly well by means of stabilizing the entire running system of a car thereby enabling the car to use lesser fuel.
Please can you explain your reasons for the statement you made sir. Maybe it will help us all learn as well.

r4roty:
Nice one Prof Ben Ayade I am proud of you . A visionary gov like Don Duke. Cally air all the way
BTW why partner with DANA ? The air crash recently is still fresh in the memory of most Nigerians and this could result in serious de- marketing . I am a regular flyer but have fobia for crashed airlines especially the ones flown in Nigerian airspace ! A case in point in early 2000s I boarded an ADC flight from calabar to Lagos in which we hovered around Lagos for more than 30 mins for non deployment of the landing gears . Immediately we touched down at MMA the plane was scheduled for ABJ (WEIRD YOU MAY SAY !) Not too long this very aircraft crashed killing all on board including a prominent personality from Sokoto ......the airline has been rested permanently for good .

Why did TINAPA fail ?

AZeD1:
Most of the people saying good idea have no idea of economy and should please never comment on the economy again.

Aviation is a capital intensive venture in which we don't even have the expertise, we should be conserving scarce foreign exchange not spending it on unproductive ventures.


If the Governor wants to pursue a PPP enterprise in the transportation, he should call Innoson.

obailala:
Forward thinking leadership.... If only governors of richer states can be this visionary.

States like Akwa-ibom, Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa should have since constructed their own state owned refineries and petrochemical plants which should be managed as profit driven private ventures. There's also been a loud cry about northerners owning oil wells, very soon there would be a new round of oil block allocation and I'm very sure because of the uproar lately, the next bidding process would be relatively transparent. I still wonder why Niger-Delta state governments can't float state owned oil companies which can also bid for oil blocks since the states have the capacity to raise the required capital.

nsilordgmail:
Are u living in calabar? This man have not done any thing in calabar. Forget abt what u'v been readiing online, none of his boasted projects had been implemented. He's worse than Buhari!

maclatunji:
There is just not enough traffic in Calabar to make Tinapa attractive.

Besides Calabar is not the whole of Cross River. Cross river remains a largely rural state with its population largely living in poverty similar to the entire country's statistics.

davodyguy:
Lets not be in a hast.

Tinapa failed under Donald Duke, adfter investing close to 30 billion Naira.

I did the valuation of Tinapa. I know everything about that place

[s]Buy from Lagos! They give guarantee even in Ladipo market, the buyer will write it on the receipt. They usually give 2weeks. If you negotiate well, you will get the engine cheaper... bmw parts are cheaper in lagos than most brands![/s]
