You are focused on the amount of fuel you cars is using while ignoring the possible check engine light on your dash, state if you have a check engine light and what code you have first before making things worse.

If you ignore stating that you have removed thermostats running fans directly then there is no fix unless the car is still factory spec car, no modifications
Sir, the only dash board light that is showing is the break indicator but I filled it today so it has stopped. Aside that, no other light shows there

“Oba Akintoye, a descendant of Prince Ado whose mother was the first queen from Awori ascended the throne as Oba of Lagos in 1841, he attempted to ban slave trade with the help of the British, but the local merchant, the Aworis, Bini's and a few Yorubas who were already integrated and married to Awori's and Bini's strongly opposed the intended move and disposed and exiled the king and installed Akintoye's brother Kosoko as Oba, at exile in Europe, Akintoye met with British Authorities who had earlier banned slavery in 1807 the British decided to support the deposed Oba to regain his throne.

“With the success of the British intervention in 1851, Akintoye was reinstalled as Oba of Lagos. In practical terms, however the British influence over the Benin Empire had become absolute, and then years later in 1861 Lagos was formally annexed as a British Colony.

“This led to the fight of the British and the Bini King, the leader of the Benin Empire for years, which finally led to the fall of the Empire and the capturing of Oba Ovonramwen.

“Oba Akintoye of Lagos was the first Oba not to be buried in Benin. Prior to this, all the Kings of Lagos were buried in Benin. They passed on taxes to the Oba of Benin until the British settled in.

“Until today, the Oba of Lagos is the head of all the Obas in Lagos because the Binis believe that wherever they or their offspring are they are senior. The status of the Oba of Lagos is different from other Obas most of whom were given back their crowns and staff of office only within 40 years ago.

“Those who got their lands back was the original land owners they were mostly descendant of Prince Ado others children of the Olofin.”

The palace is called Idugaran meaning "palace built on pepper farm" Oba Ado and the warriors from Benin together with the early Bini's settlers in Eko and the Awori people settled in the southern part of Eko called "Isale Eko". "Isale literally means bottom ". Must have been used to indicate downtown (as in down town Lagos)

The statement further states that: “Until the coming in of the Benin's 1300AD , Lagos geographical boundary was Lagos mainland, Lagos Island, the seat of the Oba of Lagos then consisted of a pepper farm and fishing post. No one was living there.

“About 1450 AD some Yorubas who hailed from Isheri in Ogun-state and Ekiti were allowed by the King to settle in Eko during a war, they came in a very large numbers thereby surpassing the numbers of the Awori's and Bini's. (Hence Yorubas claim to own Eko due to their numbers).

“Oba Ado fell in love with a beautiful woman whose father was Awori and mother a daughter to one of the chief; they had two sons and also a daughter Erelu Kuti, who begot Ologun Kutere who later became King.

“Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko until the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira changed the Maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition center down the African Coast.

“It was a major centre of the slave trade until 1851. Lagos was annexed by Britain via the Lagos treaty of cession in 1861, ending the consular period and starting the British Colonial Period. The remainder of modern day Nigeria was seized in 1886 when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914 Lagos was declared its capital due to the struggle of the Bini King.

“Lagos experienced growth prior to the British Colonial rule and even more rapid growth during the Colonial rule throughout the 1960s, 70s, continued through the 80s and 90s till date. Thanks to the Awori's, Bini's, Yoruba's, migrants across the nation and world at large, as no particular group of people can take the glory alone.

“Lagos is made up of Lagoons and creeks. The Lagos lagoon, Lagos Harbour, five cowne creeks, Ebute-Metta creeks, Porto-Novo creeks, New canal, Badagry creeks, Kuramo waters and Light house creeks.

“The Awori's and Bini's are known to be the first settlers of the Eko land. The Awori's are speakers of a distinct dialect close to that of the Yoruba language with a rich Bini mixture. Traditionally, Awori's were found in Ile-Ife, they were known to be the Bini's who followed their self-exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom, whose step-mother was after his head.

“The exiled Benin Prince Izoduwa known to the Yorubas as Ooduwa (Oduduwa) was made ruler of the Ife people due to his powers and followers from the Great Benin-Kingdom.

“Izoduwa (Ooduwa) was made the first King of Ile-Ife in 1230 AD. His followers from his father's Kingdom in Benin are the today's Awori people who settled in Eko now called Lagos.

“In the 1300, the King of Benin-Empire heard from one of his traders who was a settler in Eko on how the Bini's were treated by the Awori's who lived in their area. Upon hearing this, the King of Benin commanded the assembling of a war expedition, led by his son, Prince Ado, which headed the settlement of the Awori's and demanded explanation.

“On arriving Eko, Prince Ado and his Army were more than received. The Aworis asked the Bini Prince to stay and become their leader. Ado agreed on the condition that they surrender their sovereignty to the Oba of Benin, to which the people agreed. Hearing this, the King of Benin gave his permission for Prince Ado and the expedition to remain in Eko.

“The Oba of Benin sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu, Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist his son, Oba Ado in the running of Eko.

"From the crowing of Prince Ado as the first Oba of Lagos (then called Eko), Lagos served as a major center for slave trade from which the Aworis, the Oba of Benin and his son the Oba of Lagos and all the children/descendants who took over as his successors for over four centuries supported the trade.

“The Oba of Benin was the head of the Benin Empire which are the present day Western, Southern and Eastern modern day Nigeria. The King never obliged anyone to speak the Bini language as he believed everyone was entitled to their own choice of language.

“The name Eko was given to it by the first king of Lagos, Oba Ado, the young and vibrant Prince from Benin. Eko was the land now known as Lagos Island, where the king palace was built.

Yes, YORUBA TAUGHT BINI, THE ART KNOWN TODAY IN BINI HISTORY BEFORE CONTACT WITH Portuguese . READ STORY OF YOUR KING CALLED OGUOLA before Bini Came in contact with JOHN ALFONSO D'ALVEIRO (BETWEEN 1485—1486). YOU WILL HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE OF YORUBA'S ROLE IN SHAPING EDO'S TURNED BINI THROUGH YORUBA MAN CALLED ORANMIYAN AND HOW THIS HAS HELPED SHAPED BINI HISTORY. OGUOLA WAS THE ONE WHO SENT TO HIS PATRILINEAL Father's Lineage AT ILE IFE TO HELP SEND SOMEONE WHO WILL TEACH THEM THE ART WORK.
According to Bini tradition, brass-casting was introduced into Benin by medieval artists from Ife (Uhe) under Oba Oguola in about 1280. The Oba wanted works like those imported from Ife to be produced in Benin itself. He therefore sent to the Oghene(Ojaja/Ogehgeh/Ojeje/)of Uhe for a brass-smith and Igue-igha was sent to him from ILE IFE (UHE) . Igue-igha was very clever and left many designs to his successors and was in consequence deified and is worshipped to this day by brass-smiths. The practice of making brass castings for the preservation of the records of events was originated during the reign of Oguola.
The bronzes are produced by what is known as the cire-perdu (lost-wax) process. A model is made - usually of clay - and covered with a layer of wax. If the object is very small the model is entirely of wax, A thin metal tube is attached to each end of the waxed model, and the whole encased in a lump of soft clay. When the clay has hardened, the molten metal is poured into the upper tube through a funnel. It runs down into the interior, filling the space occupied by the wax, while the melted wax flows out through the lower tube, hence the name lost-wax. When the metal has cooled the shell of clay is carefully broken and removed. The surface of the bronze is invariably rough, and has to be finished off with chisel and file. In cases of bad craftsmanship, holes may be left where the metal did not entirely fill the cavity. The clay in the interior is usually burnt quite black with the heat, and can be dug out comparatively easily.
This technique has been recorded in many books, and there is a set of models in the British Museum showing various stages of the work

IF YOU AREN'T SATISFIED,YOU CAN VISIT BRITAIN'S MUSEUM WHERE AFRICAN ART ARE HOUSED. YOUR EYES WILL SEE THE TRUTH. I have seen many of you Edos trying so hard to rewrite history. And I am here to correct all of you on this self pride and distortion of history, which isn't strange to the whites because they have fact in their care. But to make it known to many who do not have access to the existing information.
Hope this will help you
