God pass all of dem! AIT, we are praying for you...

Big deal.
Don't most banks have mini ATM card rigs in every branch now? It's as simple as importing china made rfids for a penny on the dollar and imprinting them en masse.

Oga, stop talking about what you do not know. It is not just the production of the blank cards, but the design as well as security chip & pin, embedded in the cards, that are the issue.

If Visa, MasterCard etc have not given you the EMV certification or approved your bank's image as well as the embedded security codes in it, your cards will not work on ATMs or POS terminals across board.

These cards are designed to receive and process data, the minute they are inserted into an ATM or POS. The whole process goes beyond just buying blank cards.

You are only seeing the end of the whole process, which takes place at the bank branches. You have not seen all the important production stages which goes on before the cards arrive at the bank's branch.

The banks themselves get the cards from companies like Secure ID, or Berkeley-Cupola or other firms, that have been certified by Visa, MasterCard etc, to produce the blank cards and carry out the personalisation of such cards.

I didn't go
But pipe is being run from Niger delta to Europe na
Na gas pipe oh
Why to the homes come hard

Ah .. you just exposed your ignorance. I thought you were an intelligent fellow, but you just proved you are not. No point in discussing with someone like you who is unable to understand basic truth. Have a good day.

tactius:
And because petrol is subsidised, the oil industry is losing billions in naira...which means it cannot make investments in facilities, including increasing gas production.

Because, let's be honest...we flare lots of gas into the air because it is cheaper to do so.

When people like you do not understand the dynamics of the oil industry, yet you want to argue about it, you end up looking dumb.

First you talked about gas, and said it was because of subsidy, that there were no investments in that area. I corrected you that gas is NOT subsidised in any way, only petrol enjoys subsidy.

Now you are saying the oil industry is losing money because petrol is subsidised, which is why they cannot make investments into the gas sector.

You have got it all twisted. Investment in gas gathering facilities or gas production, has nothing to do with petrol subsidy.

Did a company like NLNG that has been producing gas for years, or Chevron or Shell Gas tell you anything like that? Chevron has been producing LPG propane gas for export, for years in Nigeria. Did they tell you that petrol subsidy affected them?

The subsidy only affects the refining of oil, or production, marketing and distribution of white products i.e PMS or petrol.

The reasons for inadequate investment in gas, are far too diverse and too complex to be attributed to petrol subsidy.

Oga i no know wetin u dey rap
London wey I go
Na pipe carry gas come house for me
So Na u know all dis one
No be Nigeria lay pipe from Niger delta dey go Europe
If DAT one easy why to lay pipe to homes go hard

Oh, so you only went to London and you are misyarning like this? Did you go to the countryside and places outside London, which are far from the city? Did you go to different parts of the UK, in rural Scotland and Wales? Abeg, go and sit down. Even in the UK, not every part of Britain has gas piped into homes.

tactius:
That's because the government subsides the petroleum industry...which crucially makes many oil companies not make enough proifit...and which restricts investment in the downstream sector.

If we removed subsides...allowing oil companies to make their profit...this would attract more investors, who would build more facilites for gas processing....and gas piping. Good thing...government won't need to spend a dime.

But since Nigerians don't like paying high prices...we use subsidy to keep prices low...and things get worse.

Oga, stop peddling false info. Cooking gas is not subsidised, in any shape or form. We pay the local equivalent of international price, for cooking gas in Nigeria.

Only petrol is subsidised. That is why cooking gas is more expensive locally, than petrol in many areas. Even diesel is no longer subsidised, as the subsidy was removed a few years back.

deflover:
Countries have done away with cylinders
Gas are connected directly to homes through pipes
And meters run per use
Yet this mumu is talking about cylinders
And many fools dey say its a nice development
We can never move forward as long as we have hailing fools

Why do people like you keep talking without any insight or rational analysis? Are you the one that will lay the pipes, or do the reticulation to pipe gas into buildings in Nigeria?

Do you know how many years and how much funds it would cost to do that all over Nigeria, with the level of infrastructure we currently have?

Why do you people like to castigate everything, but cannot provide solutions? In India and many parts of South East Asia as well as Latin American countries, gas is still sold in cylinders. Even in rural parts of the US and Canada, especially in off-grid homes, gas cylinders are common. Pls don't talk about what you do not know.

Oga, which lock down did CNN face? Was it in America, or where? Haba! Why una dey lie like dis?

abu99err:
I answered you nah, can AIT operate without it's license?...
what do you think will happen when your broadcasting license has been withdrawn? it means that you will be prevented from broadcasting?

Stop dribbling and rambling like a clown. I asked you point blank to "show the part which gives NBC the right to shut down a station using brute force and armed forces. " Oya, cite the relevant clause and let everyone see it.

otokx:
Thanks so much for setting the records straight, pre paid meters are produced in Nigeria yet the people still cannot get access to them.

Which record? Did you read the entire story at all? When did Cardstel start producing Verve, Visa and MasterCard certified ATM cards? I have a lot of respect for CHAMS, the parent company of Cardstel, but I doubt if they were EMV certified before Secure ID.

abu99err:
did you read all of the Functions at all? anyway check the number 14, or can AIT operate without it's license?

I did. Now, answer the previous question I asked you.

She is Mixed Race dear.

Mixed race, half-caste, biracial etc, all mean the same thing. No need to split hairs. You can use whatever politically correct term you fancy, as long as people get the meaning you are trying to convey.

IkpuMmadu:
yes

Please what year did Cardstel get its' EMV certification? Just curious.

IkpuMmadu:
This is wrong Information! But congratulations to an Amazon it she isn't the first please


As of 2015 we had cardcentre


CardCentre Nigeria Limited CCNL), a subsidiary of Chams Plc and leading producer of cards in Nigeria, has invested in the construction of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card manufacturing plant as part of the Chams Group’s contribution to the development of local content in the telecoms sector.


Also we had another one
..which one be the first in this and that ....nawa for people shaa

But before you guys lie about that company...that company isn't the first to be SIM card producer it even ATM please ..

.we had Cardstel solutions is a world class commercial printing and card manufacturing outfit, for paper, plastic and smart cards. They have been producing before these ones started lately

Oga, read the report again. They said her company is the first to produce ATM cards that are "Verve, Visa and MasterCard certified," in West Africa. They did not say she is the first to produce SIM cards.

tactius:
Said by the same man who sent troops to mop up all the newspapers published on a certian day so that an 'embarassing story' won't be read by the public.

Said by the same man who sent the Police to block the National Assembly to prevent people from entering who were his 'opponents'.

Bubu is a mess, but GEJ was no better.

At least, he mopped up the newspapers but did not shut down their publishing houses or news stations. Which one is better? Mopping up newspapers or shutting down news stations?

ItIn simple terms an interference engine gets valves bent when the timing gives way in motion or when it is not in motion and you kick the car and engine rolls.

"valves aren't expensive but the job is" means each valve could cost you not more than 2 to 3k for quality but the job is a tough one, engine has to be brought down opened and dismantled, bent valves removed and Engine internals scrutinized for other faulty components like seals, engine block, piston damage if non then it has to be coupled back exactly with the right torque wrench for bolts . in other words your average Joe doesn't have the required expertise or tools for doing it. The engine though will work but won't last.

Wow!! Thanks for the education.

Cas49:
Call if u are serious...Abuja

Call for what? To get a piece of information that should have been included in your advert in the 1st place? You are very funny, o!

Anyway, I am not in Abuja, so I would have to look at getting this model, from a car dealer in my area.

oyatz:
You are very very NAIVE to think that

1) Biafran rag tag Army will march from Ore at 3am to Lagos unhindered and the FG will just surrender to Biafran forces by 6am.

2) A ceasefire will just be arranged.
If mistakenly, the Biafran forces succeeded in taking Lagos, Ojukwu would simply replaced Gowon as Head of State of Nigeria with first class igbo hegemony.

Don't mind those illogical jokers. How on earth can they think that the same Gowon who launched a police action against Ojukwu, which later developed into a full scale war, that saw him dispatching armed battalions against Biafra would have fled Lagos upon sighting Banjo's forces?? Despite having trained and well-equipped battle-ready soldiers under his command?

Or how can they imagine that a brash Muritala Muhammed who was well-known for his aggression, (but was kept under constant check by Gowon,) would have fled from Banjo's advancing forces? Can you see the damage that Ojukwu's propaganda has done to all these guys, making these faulty claims on NL?

nurey:
Interference engine, timing faulty affects valves. timing chain issues were non existent in those engine year. Always ensure you use full synthetic oils for timing chain fitted engines wrong oil causes timing chain issues

Sorry... what do you mean by "interference" engine?

radautoworks:
Valves themselves are cheap. Replacing them is expensive

What kind of replacement costs are we talking about? Can you give a rough estimate, pls?

Cas49:
Clean and sound without no issue...just 4month used

Only serious buyers call 08143164462

Location?

MotorGuru:
Now you see the light sir

Pls how does one fix the valves in a 2007 Nissan Xterra? The mechanic said the timing chain had a problem. This was replaced. Now he is saying all valves were affected and have to be replaced? I don't understand. Is he correct? How much are the valves? Any ideas?

The Commission’s monitoring reports on AIT/Raypower indicate the use of divisive comments accredited to the segment of “Kakaaki”, tagged, “Kakaaki Social”, where inciting comments like, “Nigeria is cursed, we declare independent state of Niger Delta”, “Nigeria irritates me”, “this country is gradually Islamizing” and other similar slogans are used without editorial control in breach of the broadcast.
Nice one NBC It’s in Order

NBC is not in order. There is nothing in the Act setting up the NBC that allows it to use brute force and soldiers, to shut down an erring station. NBC should have sued AIT to court, after investigating the facts. If court verdict is then given in favour of NBC, then it could have shut down the station in a civilised way.

Speak for yourself. All the excuses you are making for yahoo boys, has shown that you are one of them.

BeastofDundee:
Lagos would actually have gone down,if not for the betray of ifejuana,Alale,Agbam,and the humble victor banjo. The Biafran forces has already captured,Abuchi,igueben,Benin,as stronghold,advancing down ore,now if you don’t understand your history.
The federal army,was actually made of more middle belt infantry men,with the north and east holding on to high ranked position. Especially the east,who where the best experienced then. The yorubas actually had little to no army power. At ore,prior to that point in time,the northern shoulder had already been sent north,and western shoulders in the north down south.
It’s in every humans nature to gamble,and everyone has a choice banjo,ifejuana made theirs out of their gamble,return back to Enugu,kill Ojukwu,declare a cease fire,and win the respect of the head of state and your own people,who chastise you(banjo). He’ll be made governor of the west,ifejuana to the east,of which they’ll run a coup ousting Gowon to make Awolowo the prime minster. Unluckily the American attaché to Nigeria who was at Umuahia got a transcript of banjo conversation with Awolowo via the British high commission. Banjo withdrew his troops back down to Enugu without firing one shot in the Midwest,not one. Those men where not saving no millions of people,it was all personal interest and vandettas. And posterity did judge them,even the great Awolowo said it in his bio,that he regretted never seceding the mid west.
Most of you look at the war and think it’s ojukwu’s war no it’s wasnt,it’s a people’s war,the Biafran knew their fate was sealed,but would take no more of the redundant stsytem that doesn’t work. So instead of you to insult,rather salute a man who fought for not just the biafrans but for Africa,cause it died in Biafra.

It is pure conjecture on your part, that Lagos would have fallen. The Federal Govt had a superior army, adequate ammunition including fighter jets, and well-trained soldiers, in Lagos.

Even if Banjo had kept to the plan, he and his entire team would have been decimated within an hour of getting to Lagos.

Check transcripts of American Embassy dispatches during that period, as well as records of scholars who researched the war. Banjo would not have stood a chance. Ojukwu was banking on the element of surprise, but the battalion he deployed for the job, was grossly ill-equipped for that assignment.

FemiMaduka:
You are actually the ignorant one here (including the guys that cheered you). What he said is right. About six years ago, I personally saw a train at the Jebba station (Kwara State) conveying stacks of empty 40ft containers towards the South (from up North). I even engaged the driver and some others in a chat (because they stopped over in Jebba) and the junior shunting guys spoke of the arrival of 'computerized' locomotives at the port in Lagos. It was not long before they moved off. The locomotive had 'Dame Patience Jonathan' inscribed on it. Earlier in that month, a non-passenger train conveying wheat (or so) had derailed at high speed very near to the Jebba station (from the approach at the paper mill axis).

The guy is right; you are wrong.

P.S.: I won't argue with you over what I am sure of.

Thank you for educating the clueless, my brother. A lot of people argue about what they do not know or what they lack info on. When Buhari and his team were campaigning in 2012, they took train rides to different destinations in the southwest.

In 2010, the Lagos to Otta rail line was revived and it has been in operation since then carrying passengers and cargo.

“From December 2010, Lagos District passenger trains have been increased from six to eleven daily using the recently rehabilitated up mainline.

“The first and second trains leave Ijoko and Agbado simultaneously by 5.30am to arrive Iddo by 6.45am/7.34am.

“Another one leaves Ijoko by 6.20am and arrives Iddo at 7.56am while two more trains leave Ijoko by 10.20am and 2.20pm to arrive at 11.56am and 3.56pm respectively and from Iddo, five other trains depart from Iddo at 8.00am, 12noon, 4.15pm, 5pm, 6pm and 7pm accordingly and each arrive Ijoko within a transit period of one hour, twenty minutes.”

Another observation on the train is that all kind of people are found in the coaches, from the low class to the highly placed, everyone in their own world and looking forward to getting to their respective destinations. https://www.cometonigeria.com/news/nigerian-railway-system-is-back-on-track/

doitforyou:
wow... your post is just all over the place no coherent thought or logic " I will not be dictated by a ring" WTF? hahahaha I just can't this fine Thursday morning.

At the end of the day you are a lonely uneducated and miserable person that spends all her time on the internet hating on strangers' lives, same lifestyle you wish you had. This would be my last reply to you because I know this back and forth with you has been the most attention you have ever received in your pathetic life. It's like talking in an empty room, you have no substance.

Chimo! See finishing....dat girl go just get hypertension with dis your reply.

ericsmith:
i am the "chap" who made the comment you referred to as fluffy ... becos i said they should relax ,it means they should not report the fraud to adequate authorities, so you concluded it was a sit down @home n watch telemundo call abi. nigerians are inquisitive when it comes to knowledge,hence the setbacks
Do you know the funniest part , after making an official report even the banks will tell you to go relax after apologizing for the inconveniences. so ??

Oh, you did not give info on channels to follow to get the funds back in your initial post, you only said "relax and you will get it back" as if there was some magic wand, that would instantly teleport such stolen funds, back into the victim's account. In your relax and sit down@home to watch African Magic mind, how would your former post which I initially responded to, have helped the victim?

ericsmith:
A mindset & reasoning like yours is why lots of nigerians are sidelined , its all about the channels you know. there are somethings you will just say to a bank manger or even police they we av no choice but to upscale there view about you. information is power, where or what you have access to determines the way you will be treated. nigerians n information are to parralel lines. our certificate is just to get money

I urge you to go back and read my previous post, with more understanding.

The chap I quoted made some blasé fluffy comments, that "as long as the transaction was done through a bank or a POS terminal, the victim should relax and he would get it back.". He did not advice on the steps to take that would aid recovery of the victim's funds, or channels to follow that would fast-track such recovery.

My response was to show that such advice was misplaced. It takes more than relaxing, to get back such money. So why did you jump in to make unfounded insinuations about my mindset?
