And what does that 'support' mean in actual terms for NNPC or our country??

They have already stopped buying our oil for a long time now. So they should clarify in clear terms, what kind of 'support' they are now offering.

People are tired of meaningless gestures!

...Erm, where is my popcorn? I want to perch in this corner and watch the free-for-all cyber-fisticuffs, when they start.

Na who carry di mat wey I put for here? Who??!

francizy:
Ode, go thru the 7th page and see where I asked the mumu op questions as regards his hatred for people that don't give a rat's ãrse about his existence. Answer those questions and also tell me why you keep a blind eye to insults directed against the said group you tag as hate filled but you're quick to carry your ogoni bible to preach to me about being hate filled. You're a first class hypocrite.

Wow! I just knew you would launch a barrage of insults and I am not surprised, because that is your stock in trade.

Bros, you did not direct the questions to me but to OneNaira3 who had asked that his SS people should not be dragged into the fray.

Secondly, your response was made to another person's post (i.e.OneNaira3 ) and not to me, even though his own insults were not originally directed at you in his preceding post, yet your reply was littered with enough insults to browbeat his own.

Finally, it can be seen that you and your friends derive a strange kind of high, from exchanging hate-filled comments with others. So that word 'hypocrite' you have used to describe yourself, actually suits you to a 'T'.

So why are you now making it my problem? Here, you can have the floor to continue with what you do best.

Er... just one last word: Am not Ogoni. If you have issues with anyone from that tribe, kindly take it up with them.

francizy:
Since you didn't deem it fit to answer my questions about the mindless killings of people you hypocrites term as having more respect for you, then swerve lemme attend to more meaningful things..

Hehehe.... you are free to go and attend to your more meaningful things, oh!

You just raised a question about 'mindless killings,' for the very first time in your post, here. Please point out the section where you had asked me any question about it, on the preceding pages of this particular thread??

After rambling about PDP and APC , now you have now gone in another direction to allege mindless killings, on this thread. If you do not have any valid points to make in a courteous manner, it is okay to take your exit. Do have a great day.

francizy:
Mr. Man carry yah useless sermon go one side make I see road. Hypocrites like you were blinded when all PDP supporters were called different kinds of terrible names bah, from saTANist to saTANoid to enemies of Nigeria to criminals to various other demeaning names.

By the way, carry yah bible and go preach to the hate filled hypocrites in the APC first before I even consider listening to you. By the way, who started throwing insults first as a means of criticism? I guess you're from Jupiter??

What does PDP have to do with this thread?? And then, you used the word 'hypocrite'. Wow. You were obviously referring to yourself. It is such a perfect description of you.

Why did you open 2 different threads on this subject??

DECOtech:
We're talking of Hybrid vehicles. They use rechargeable batteries up to ten times larger than the battery you are used to with capacity to store much more power.

nurey:
hybrid cars have special batteries apart from the one all cars use to start their engine. this batteries are mostly placed at the chair areas of the car. This is where the energy generated are stored and then used to propel the car when power is needed. So basically hybrids use little petrol and battery to support reason why they have the best fuel economy technology.
if you get a good one with the ba3 still intact you won't have issues with it, I know 4 people using that car,
1. Toyota highlander hybrid 3yrs running no issue
2. Toyota camry (aka muscle) 4yrs running, this guy always stay with mechanics when working on his car
3. Toyota prius 1yr
4. ford escape 3months old rearly driven

mayor2013:
Haven't you heard of Gel type batteries and AGM batteries?

Guys, thanks for the education. Much appreciated. What about those cars that use compressed gas and petrol in dual-fuel mode? What are they called??

Hehehe....

Volkswagen Beetle a.k.a Tortoise or ijapa!

francizy:
You have time replying that imbecilic mofo. Same ode buruki that made stewpid statements about the Hausa/Fulani man having more respect for others than the Igbo man. Then I replied the mugu asking him if rioting and killing is what he terms as respect or maybe there's another definition of respect that I know not about.

Immediately I made statements as regards to that, the goat sealed his lips and never replied me while still replying others that were quoting him as regards to his Biafra battle. If a man can turn an open truth into a ridiculous lie, then I see no need arguing with such person.

Foolish goats that stuff up the truth in their butt holes (just to make a peaceful tribe look bad) should never be given attention. The mofo should ask the Yoruba man questions because even with all the wordplay by both Yoruba and Igbos here, if there has ever been any major rioting or clash or bloodbath between the two tribes (after the war).

And that is what I term respect because respecting you as an individual but not having respect for your existence is absolute nonsense. I'd rather have you insult me day and night and respect my existence/life than show me respect but quick to draw the sword against me.

Ree-aa-lly? So you think if a man insults you, he can still treat you with respect? Wow!!

Why are you and your fellow supporters so filled with hate?? The amount of insults that drip from your keyboards, is an indication of the kind of things stored in your soul. Is it so hard to discuss issues with common courtesy, decency and civility?

Yet, many of you guys will still pick up your bibles on a Sunday, to go to a church where the love of God is preached.

O di egwu! Interesting!!

Are you for real??! You obviously have not been to the Ondo State Waterside coastal areas before. Otherwise, you would know that the Ilaje community exists in the South-West. I once worked there for several months, and those folks call themselves 'Ilaje' people. Others lump them together with the Arogbo or Apoi, because they are somehow related to the Arogbo-Ijaw. I don't know the exact details, or nature of their relationship or how it came to be, but the Ilaje is a distinct community in the Ondo state waterside area. Their local govt is Ilaje Ese-Odo local govt area of Ondo State. Educate yourself, please.

SPOTLIGHT ON ILAJE LAND

The Ilajes are a distinguished, distinct linguistic group of the Yoruba stalk made up of four geo-political entities namely Ugbo, Mahin, Etikan and Aheri.

They were said to have left ILE-IFE their original ancestral home/settlement in the 10th century. They mainly occupy the Atlantic coastline of Ondo State of Nigeria while a large population of them settles on land in the hinterland. The area they occupy today remains the Ondo State of Nigeria only outlet to the sea.

ILAJE LAND is bounded by the Ijebus to the West, the Ikale to the North, the Itsekiri to the East. The APOI and Arogbo Ijaw to the North East, while the Atlantic ocean formed the southern boundary. No doubt, the Ilajes are one of the most dynamic and enterprising people in Nigeria. Their aquatic skill, coupled with their high adaptational ability enable them to conquer their hash geographical environment and turn it to a big advantage. Consequently, they were able to build large communities like Ugbonla, Aiyetoro, Zion PePe and Orioke. Aiyetoro for example in it's hey-days had the highest per capital income in the whole land and attracted visitors, tourists and researchers from all over the world especially Europe, Canada, and America.

Apart from petroleum which is largely found in the area for which Ondo State today is recognized as an oil producing State. Other mineral raw materials that are abundantly available in Ilaje land include Glass Sand, Salt, Tar Sand, Quartz and Clay while Agro raw materials include fish, poultry, maize, Palm oil vegetables, Timber, Rafia, Poultry Okro, Cocoyam, Banana, Cassava, and Piggery.

The natural environment of Ilajeland is particularly suitable for the development of large scale Rice plantation and Salt industry.

The occupational activities of the Ilajes include fishing, canoe making, lumbering net making, mat making, Launch building, farming and trading.

Igbokoda, the Ilaje local government headquarters is fast becoming an international trade center as it popular market attracts traders not only from other part of Nigeria, but, also from other African countries especially Togo Benin, Ghana, Cameroon and Gabon.http://ilajeusa.com/History.htm

AROGBO TRIBE

The Arogbo tribe of the Ijaw people live in southeastern Ondo State, Nigeria.

Historically, the Arogbo have had trading contacts with neighboring Ijaw tribes (Apoi, Egbema) and the Ijebu and Ilaje Yoruba. Most Arogbo are bilingual, speaking dialects of both the Yoruba and Ijaw languages. Historically, the Arogbo acted as middle men in the slave trade, selling captives from the interior to Europeans. The Arogbo migrated to their present location from the town of Gbaran in the central Niger Delta. Worship of the god Egbesu is particularly strong among the Arogbo.

The Arogbo are in present-day Ondo State. The founding ancestors of the Arogbo were part of the same migration from Ujo-Gbaran town. After a brief stop at Oproza, led by Perebeinmo they went on to Ukparomo (now occupied by the towns of Akpata, Opuba, Ajapa, and Ukpe). They stayed here for some time, about the length of the reign of two Agadagbas (military priest-rulers of the shrine of Egbesu). They then moved to the present site of Arogbo. From this place descendants spread out to found the Arogbo Ebe. It was from Arogbo that some ancestors migrated northwards up the old course of the Forcados river and settled near the site of Patani. Living nearby in the upland region were proto Edo or Efa people called Erowha. These ancestors later on intermarried with them and gave birth to the Uvwei and Effurun (Efferun or Efferu the ancestor of the Effurun or Ephron was a descendent of Gbaran) sections of Urhobo people.

During the time of the expansion of the Benin kingdom (1550), the Benin invaded Ukoruama (Lagos). The Arogbo sent soldiers to defend the Ijo living in that region. Their army camp became known as Idumu-Arogbo later shortened to Idumagbo.

The Arogbo also successful halted the advance of the Benin army into the western delta and subsequently the whole of the Izon Ibe. The foundation of the Arogbo Ebe is clearly pre-14th century AD. The ancestors of the Arogbo lived at Ujo-Gbaran between 700 – 1100 AD. Along with the ancestors of the Gbaramatu and Tuomo they moved to the Escravos region, while the Arogbo ancestors moved further west. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arogbo_tribe

Rip to the dead

Sorry you were caught in this nonsense. The oba wished death to another tribe in the lagoon..something happened now his people are dying in the lagoon. Classic "back to sender"

Don't you have any respect for the dead??! Must you bring your hate-filled mentality into a thread like this??

onenaira3:
Will you shut your useless mouth up. Atlwireless is urhobo and ikwerre mix. He's said it multiple times and thus have the right to speak on this subject more so than you

Yeah... I guess all the ethnic groups in the Niger-Delta starting from Urhobo, Isoko to Izon, Itsekiri, Afenmai, Apoi, Ekpeye, Ogoja, Ibibio, Opobo etc., had a town hall meeting and gave him the mandate to speak for all of them, right??

Was he appointed the spokesman for the entire non-Igbo ethnic groups in the Niger-Delta in that town hall meeting, because he is " urhobo and ikwerre mix", to use your words??!

Your opening remarks shows the kind of hate and the type of filth that exists in your mind. It also shows you have not learnt basic good manners, in the art of communication.

Hate is toxic. Get rid of it before it kills you.

Almighty God, I pray the Igbo are allowed to get the Biafra they deserve, without any further delay.

Anyone who tries to stop them will be infested with a thousand flies.

Let them go, biko. Na by force?? Nobody should persuade them to change their minds, oh! At least, we will then know those who are left, and willing to make Nigeria work.

We also know that within one month after they get their independence, they will still come back lobbying and begging for entry visas to get back into Nigeria as most of their shops, houses and businesses are located in different parts of our country. At that time, everyone will know who is who.

Even till now, they are unable to stay still in one place, which is why you find them in strange countries (even those with unpronounceable names),

Anything that can be done to get them started on their journey, would be most welcome.

Then we can apply immigration quotas for those Biafrans seeking to come back into Nigeria, and withdraw it at will when they breach our rules. Foreign nationals from other countries are however, welcome to stay behind. At least, they do not insult other ethnic groups or visit them with hate.

No one should hold the Biafrans back. Enough is enough!!

atlwireles:
Any Niger deltan shouting one Nigeria after 40 years and the last 5 years of GEJ should be hung.

And who says you can speak for all Niger-Deltans?! The Niger-Delta comprises of 9 states and almost 13 indigenous communities or ethnic groups! Why do you people launch a campaign of hate against anyone who does not share your view? Na by force?

If you conduct a census among the non-Igbo communities in the Niger-Delta today, some would support Biafra, while others would not! Even within the same community, there are people bound to have different opinions on an issue.

If God Almighty wanted everyone to think alike and share the same view at all times, he would have created clones!

So why can't you respect the views of other ND non-Igbo? They are not preventing you from having your Biafra, are they?
“Egbe belu-Ugo belu, nke si ibe ya ebena, nku tije ya.."

BishopMagic:
Then you are yoruba.

Remain Yoruba an stop claiming ND.

Confused fool

The guy said his father is Akwa-Ibom. Is parental claim in Nigeria done through matrilineal lines or patrilineal ancestry?? He is a bona-fide Niger-Delta chap. Don't change his identity for him, biko!

◾The Nigerian Communications Commission has blocked 10.7 million mobile telephone lines in the last one week (since August 11) for improper registration.
◾It said on Tuesday that at the completion of a “strict monitoring of mobile operators in the country,” it was likely to block 28.61 million more lines found to be defective, which would bring the total number of deactivated lines to 38.78 million.
◾The ongoing deactivation of preregistered Subscribers Identification Modules cards on the network of mobile operators in the country led to the blockage of the telephone lines.
◾Speaking in Lagos, the NCC said the lines were barred due to improper registration details including poor fingerprints; lack of facial information and other biometric challenges.

NCC must be real jokers for doing so. My own line was duly registered at a Customer Care Centre when I bought it. Yet it was still blocked for over one week. I lost access to a lot of things and missed important phone calls. Now, I have a good mind to sue both NCC and the GSM Company for shoddy performance. Mtcheew!

IGBOSON1:
So what if it turns out that these accusations are nothing more than a good old fashioned witch-hunt!? What ever happened to being 'innocent until proven guilty'!?

It's becoming more apparent that any self-respecting and accomplished individual should have nothing to do with public office in that god-forsaken country! If you're not from the right ethnic group, religion, social status or ready to 'play ball' then be prepared to have all manner of accusations leveled against you in a bid to rubbish your good name and get rid of you!

Why is it now suddenly an ethnic issue??!

It is now a witch-hunt because the guy is Igbo??! O di egwu.....

She has gone AWOL.

lonelydora:
Yea.

1. Make sure you avoid flooded(water) area as if you are driving a bag of salt.

2. Make sure you have enough money to replace the battery when it slowly but surely goes down. My friend has parked his car for the past 8 months because they are telling him the battery is about 700k.

3. Most Nigerians mechanics are still finding it difficult to work on when there is a problem because most the components are electrical like ABS SYSTEM, A/C Compressor, etc. Go to most mechanic shops and see the number of abandoned hybrid cars. That's all I can say for now.

Meanwhile, it's a car you will enjoy when it's still new. GOODLUCK BRO.

What kind of car, uses a 700k battery? And what model of battery is that??
