Car Talk / Re: How I Was Able To Stop "Belt Cutting" Wahala In My Honda Civic by Lightorder: 9:12pm On Jan 12
AbelAbdul:
Guys, I almost sold my Honda Civic because of belt. I have spent close to or over 200k because of belt. Gone to different mechanics.
Most of the times when the belt cuts the adjuster bolt will break inside the engine. I will need to drop the engine then get the service of a blacksmith.

They said buy original belt, I bought. Buy new adjuster I bought. Change your pulleys I did but belt was still cutting.

How I solved the problem.

I met a mechanic who discovered that the belt was wrongly fixed.
He told me to buy Belgium belt size 2160.

Before I have been using size 2130.

I bought the Belgium belt 2160 gave it to him you fixed it in the proper way.

I have been driving for two months now I have not experienced any cutting.

Adebayo Ogunlesi was born on December 20, 1953, in Nigeria. He grew up in a well-educated family with his father being a professor of medicine, and his mother being a civil servant. Ogunlesi attended King’s College in Lagos, Nigeria, for his secondary education. In 1973, Ogunlesi moved to the United States to attend the prestigious Oxford University in England, where he earned his undergraduate degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) in 1976.

He went on to attend Harvard Law School, where he obtained a J.D. in 1979. After completing his education, Ogunlesi worked as an attorney at the law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP in New York City. He later became a partner at the firm and specialized in corporate finance and securities law.

Adebayo Ogunlesi Career
Adebayo Ogunlesi - Chairperson of Global Infrastructure Partners

Ogunlesi began his career as an attorney at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore in New York City. He later transitioned to investment banking, where he worked at First Boston (now Credit Suisse) and Goldman Sachs. In 2006, he founded Global Infrastructure Partners, a private equity firm that invests in infrastructure assets, such as airports, seaports, and energy projects. The firm has since grown to become one of the largest infrastructure investment firms in the world, with over $70 billion in assets under management.

Ogunlesi has served on various boards and committees, including as a member of the Board of Directors of Goldman Sachs and as a member of the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations under President Barack Obama. He has also been recognized for his business and philanthropic contributions, including being named one of the “100 Most Influential Africans” by New African magazine in 2012 and receiving the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 2017.

Adebayo Ogunlesi was a member of former US President Donald Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum, which was a group of business leaders who advised the President on economic issues. The forum was established in December 2016 and was disbanded in August 2017 following the controversy surrounding Trump’s response to a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Ogunlesi was invited to join the forum due to his extensive experience in finance and investment. He is the Chairman and Managing Partner of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a leading global infrastructure investment firm. Under Ogunlesi’s leadership, GIP has invested in a range of infrastructure assets, including airports, seaports, and renewable energy projects. During his time on the Strategic and Policy Forum, Ogunlesi provided input on a range of economic issues, including tax reform, trade policy, and infrastructure investment.


He was one of several business leaders who resigned from the forum following Trump’s controversial comments on the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

The estimated net worth of Adebayo Ogunlesi
Adebayo Ogunlesi’s net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.1 billion according to Forbes. However, please note that his net worth may have changed since then due to various factors such as market fluctuations, changes in assets, and other financial factors.

Adebayo Ogunlesi’s private jet
In Nigeria, the name Adebayo Ogunlesi does not ring a bell like the Dangotes, Adenugas, Otedolas, etc.

However, the man’s achievements in the global business circle – especially in the aviation sector – have been well celebrated around the world.

Adebayo Ogunlesi is a Nigerian lawyer and investment banker. He is referred to – especially in Nigerian circles – as “the man who bought Gatwick Airport”. Some also refer to him as the Nigerian who owns three airports in the United Kingdom.

In 2009, GIP also acquired the majority share in London Gatwick Airport.

Gatwick Airport, also known as London Gatwick, is a major international airport near Crawley, Sussex, England. GIP invested £1.455 billion in the deal making it the majority shareholder in the airport.

GIP also owns Edinburgh Airport, which they bought in 2012.

Edinburgh Airport is an airport located in the Ingliston area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was the busiest airport in Scotland in 2019, handling over 14.7 million passengers. It was also the sixth-busiest airport in the United Kingdom by total passengers in 2019.

Ogunlesi has been married to British-born optometrist Dr. Amelia Quist-Ogunlesi since 1985. They have two children. In his song “Wonderful,” Burna Boy pays tribute to Adebayo, citing his hard work.

your ibo tribe are the only ones amongst all the Nigerian tribe that goes everywhere and make enemies instead of friend with the host. Your uncouth and disrespectful attitude has earned you so many enemies, and your greed and covetousness, can’t be isolated, or why are they also having issues even in the north that your red cap chief have to go and beg so you can be allowed to do business? Or are there no other tribes living in the north, have you heard of Yoruba elders going to the north to beg on behalf of the Yorubas? So I guess there is a problem with the Ibo culture except you just want to feign ignorance grin
You are still the only one reacting and getting pissed off here.
Sincerely, let others tribes react nau.

They are not calling it no man lands and threatening to dispose the existing institutions. They simple practicing their culture with respect to whats already on ground.
respecting what is on ground depends on how the host sees it and what the host calls it.

Why is it that Yorubas are the only host that feels threatened ?
Are Yorubas the only one that host igbos ?

Bible forbid it in the Old Testament now.

Deuteronomy 22:5 says: "A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God."
wears for men and women depends on zone , tribe or race. Men and women wear skirts in some parts of UK and Isreal

Well I don't see anything wrong with stating the tribe of a person who did wrong, the only issue is insulting and demeaning a whole tribe because of an individual's offence, so pls be specific.

Also, we are yet to see your stance on Anti female, insultive, degrading comments and threads, because if you notice, most male tend to term women generally for the offence of one, and as a result of that, most of us rarely comment like before, pls look into it.
Seun should just use you to show that he is ready to walk the talk. Your first paragraph shows that you are a serial and a sworn tribalist

chatinent:

If this tribalistic post makes you feel any better and was true, there was no need to seek group validation...only of course, due to inferiority complex...and dark envy.

Don't get me wrong, I know that you and your Nairaland cohorts are notorious for dick measurements always with attempts to provoke, and ridicule.

Just like the user below me too! Isn't it funny even Jesus was in the middle of two kinds of people too? Look at his post:

You want a people to leave their investments for you in their own country? You for kuku carry gun naw. Organised ole buruku.

Is dark humour only what you contribute to the GDP? Yet you brag with a state that the whole Nigeria developed! Not even as though you are from the State! It's always attachee by force.

Under the constitution, anyone is allowed to live anywhere and everyone lives anywhere! If other countries are this hostile to your japa dreams, you call it racism! But see the common blacks against the common blacks! Little wonder South African whites no longer want to be together with blacks.


Why chestbeat for someone else in your tribe? Wetin you mah don do for your name to be glorified? When you see your tribal man celebrated, instead of appreciating them and leave, you coin a post to cause war...cos it makes your poor brain feel good when the only thing you have achieved in your tribe is being a popular online tribalistic nuisance.

Oh, before I forget, I can guarantee you are free to respond to this, but I cannot guarantee a feedback from me. So after you respond, come back here and read again...that's my response.

I am from Lagos and even though I don't live there, I preach against bad politicians from anywhere. I don't have to instigate one tribe over another to feel good! The Yoruba-Igbo thing y'all started during the elections, e never clear for your eyes? I hope Tinubu's administration is a feel-good for you, yeah? I have nothing against Tinubu as a Yoruba man, I am against Tinubu as a bad politician (evident from his administration currently), same way I am against Obi (evident from his administration in Anambra) and Atiku (evident from being a VP) because I know the trio are only politicians who'd play any script to cling onto power.

But you? You are an oh-yes member when poison is from your tribe. You are like the tortoise in the ancient folklores...a wise fool. I'm ashamed at you what you bring to forex; online thuggery, tribalism, and neverdowellism. Clap for yourself, President Polythene Bag.

Develop your mentality! No one stops you from being useful too!


To humans, your mentality shows you are a political too! Even a blind man sees through your political blindness.

Don't mistake cheap likes and shares given to you for a Kabiyesi bow from practical empty trouble makers like you...then return to Twitter posting your Opay details for any flying giveaways!

You are growing but not developing inwardly. Prov. 26:27, son. Let's pray.
hmm ! Great information.

Before I forget , what and what didn't Obi do as a bad politician in Anambra State ? Is there another Anambra or Obi or still those know . I have heard this a dozen times . What exactly didn't Obi do in Anambra ?
