[color=#006600][/color]There has never been a popular belief that electricity comes directly from water. Stop trying to correct what was never wrong!
Contrary to popular belief it is not the water that directly produces Electricity.

Electricity is produced by a device called a turbine. Turbines contain metal coils surrounded by magnets. When the magnets spin over the metal coils, electricity is produced. Turbines are located inside dams. The falling water spins the magnets.

Thus, the water only spin the turbines which in turn generates electricity.[/quote]

Hello Cosplay,
Please help me wih vehicle report for this VIN 5TDZA23C36S511200.

Thanks,

Jakumo:
This car is EXTREMELY ugly. What is the function of that gigantic radiator grille ? Is it designed to trap flying bats and insects, so as to then cook them with engine heat, for the dining pleasure of the car occupants when they arrive at their destination ?

Perhaps that enormous grille operates like a bulldozer blade, for use in clearing snow and mud encountered on the way to the shopping mall ?

As the old saying goes, beauty is only skin deep, but UGLY is to the bone. This car is UGLY and offensive to look at.

How do you classify this car as UGLY and OFFENSIVE? You have probably not seen a close-up picture of it

OP, Do you have a phone number? This email process is rather a slow one. People want to ask real questions and get answers on the fly. You are marketing a good product and you need to open up all avenues of advert. Do the needful and post your phone number.

Thanks

Thank you for the work you do here. Please help me with this VIN 5N1AR18U98C665802

The OP is extremely deceitful and biased. Topic of the thread is a question but he went ahead in the body to root for manual gears. You can as well go on and tell people to buy cars without AC since the AC saps engine power. I am sure he was among the mechanics that adviced people to stay away from front wheel drive cars years ago. I will categoeize the OP as an advanced Kazeem. If manuals are the best things after sliced bread, why do we smell burnt clutches? OP please drive what pleases you and let people be!

Sorry OP its not a new thing. I am of the opinion that unless there is a very strict punishment (e.g capital punishment) corruption can never be eradicated in Nigeria.

We can scream corruption all day long and try to fight it but until the civil servants are paid properly and as when due, this will not stop. Take the case of a policeman that earns peanuts.....you arm him with a gun and expect him not to extort money from motorists? The government should do the right thing and see how people will change.

Emmaoga:
brain teaser....


CRACK YOUR BRAINS:
One fateful day a some rubbers went to rob a
bank. The leader threatened to kill the cashier if he
didn't open the vault. The cashier told him the
vault is not opened with keys but with a password.
You can't kill me since I am the only one who
knows the password and everyday the password is
different. He shot the cashier, entered the
password,opened the vault and robbed all the
money.
What is the password?

Password is different

It's a country of around 185 million people, a member of OPEC and the biggest economy on its continent. But Nigeria may have more than it can handle with the "Niger Delta Avengers."
It's a country of around 185 million people, a member of OPEC and the biggest economy on its continent. But Nigeria may have more than it can handle with the "Niger Delta Avengers.

Nigeria has vowed to rein in the militants who are relentlessly bombing the country's oil infrastructure and have slashed its crude output. But experts say the government of President Muhammadu Buhari lacks the military capacity and institutions to tackle the threat — and military action could make things much worse anyway.
Little is certain about the motives of the Niger Delta Avengers. But the group claims through its website and Twitter feed that it wants a bigger share of the Niger Delta's resource wealth to go to the region's people, and it wants some sort of environmental remediation after decades of rampant oil and gas pollution.
What is certain is that the Avengers are effective. Nigeria's oil production has fallen from 2.2 million barrels per day to roughly 1.6 million after a spate of attacks, which come as the country was already in crisis mode thanks to a rout in global oil prices.
"It's not like an insurgency in the classic sense ... If they find these guys and hunt them down and shoot them, there will be another group the next day."
-Gerald McLoughlin, former U.S. foreign service officer
Nigeria has deployed more troops to the delta and begun talks with state and local leaders to address their grievances. This week, Nigerian Oil Minister Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu called on the Avengers to "sheath their weapons and embrace dialogue with the government."
The Avengers responded in their Twitter feed: "We're not negotiating with any committee. If Fed Govt is discussing with any group they're doing that on their own."
The Nigerian military has slim hopes of finding and defeating the militant group in the delta's swampy network of creeks, say experts. The terrain confounded soldiers during a prior, yearslong campaign against oil militants, who stopped bombing oil installations only after the government began paying them as part of a 2009 amnesty program.
"I think it would be very difficult to tackle this issue using essentially police methods," said John Campbell, former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria. "The delta doesn't lend itself to military or police action, and in fact, it failed the last time there was an insurrection there."

The military, which Buhari is trying to remake into a more professional fighting force, also has little support among delta residents, and its presence could make matters worse, according to Campbell.
Abuse of civilians at the hands of the military in northern Nigeria provided a potent recruitment tool for Boko Haram, Campbell said. That group has gone on to become one of the world's most deadly terrorist organizations. If similar abuses were repeated in the delta, more militants would likely emerge, he said.
This week, the federal government said it would withdraw troops from villages after complaints of heavy-handed tactics.
Meanwhile, the Avengers have at least tacit support from some locals in the delta. Members are viewed as part bandit and part Al Capone, but they are also seen as part Robin Hood, said Gerald McLoughlin, an independent analyst and former U.S. foreign service officer with experience in Nigeria. That sympathy, coupled with a lack of economic opportunity in the delta, make the group extremely difficult to combat.
"Quite frankly, it's almost impossible. It's not like an insurgency in the classic sense," he told CNBC.
"If they find these guys and hunt them down and shoot them, there will be another group the next day. What else can you do if you live there?" he said.

Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari
The Buhari government could conceivably build goodwill by embarking on public works projects, said Ambassador Cambell. Construction of a long-discussed road across the delta region, for example, would employ a huge number of workers and open new areas to economic development, provided it functioned well.
The delta ostensibly has institutions in place to execute such projects, but they have accomplished little, said Manji Cheto, senior vice president at advisory firm Teneo Intelligence. The Niger Delta Development Commission was founded in 2000, followed by the Niger Delta Ministry in 2008. There is also an office dedicated to carrying out the 2009 amnesty program.
The organizations carry out programs, but have no cohesive blueprint for development, and much of their funding falls into a "black hole," Cheto said. The government should merge the three organizations, she said. "Quite clearly they didn't see this as a priority. Now, with pipelines being attacked every week, it has to become a priority," she said.

Nigeria's oil struggle
Analysts don't doubt that Buhari is committed to the anti-corruption crusade he campaigned on, but they say his hands are tied by corruption at the state and local level, where oil revenue that's distributed by the federal government is frequently misallocated.
"What happens in many cases is the funds arrive on the state governor's desk and there's no further accounting for them," Ambassador Campbell said. "The state legislatures are supposed to hold the governors accountable, but very often, the legislatures are part of the (patronage) network controlled by governors."
That system makes delta people skeptical that talks between federal and local leaders will produce change, Cheto said.
Fear of an independent delta

Beyond the impact on the Nigerian economy, the Avengers could agitate separatist sentiment in the delta — a potentially disastrous development in a country like Nigeria with divided regional, tribal and religious loyalties.
Cheto said she's concerned about increased activity among independence groups in the south's Biafra region. The delta state fought a devastating civil war with Nigeria from 1967 to 1970. At the peak of that conflict, Nigeria's total blockade of Biafra led to thousands of deaths by starvation on a daily basis.

Among its list of demands, the Avengers have called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, director of Radio Biafra and a separatist leader who has been in government custody since October. Separatist groups have also voiced support for the Avengers, local media reported.
Cheto believes the Biafra groups are looking to the 2019 election to gain influence, though she said the rise of the Avengers provides another outlet through which they could potentially advance their aims.
"I think it's just simmering under the surface. I don't want to sound alarmist, but for the government to ignore it would be a misstep," she said.
In McLoughlin's view, there's still much animosity between delta residents and Biafra activists that's left over from the civil war. Still, he said he sees growing regionalism in the delta that could make it difficult for the federal government to rally support against the Avengers and other threats.
"What Nigeria is doing inadvertently is creating the conditions for a real insurgency, a political insurgency," he said.
"Nigeria has an incipient Nigerian-ness, kind of a sense that we're Nigerian, but they're really working against it here inadvertently in the delta, where they're creating a sense that we're not Nigerians, we're the delta people."

Completely staged interview. I have tried to reach the radio station in question - No response. The accent of the pastor is not Nigerian at all. This was just made to create a sensation.......

Answers not far fetched. Read the instructions from the Quran and the quest to test modern warfare on humans. In my opinion, Islam needs to evolve from its present state and practice peace/tolerance else terrorism will continue.

Nothing was done to improve power conditions and people started singing praises. Doing the same thing all over and expecting a different in result is the definition of stupidity!

They should introduce "Fathers and Sons". We will then see how men ROCK!

omojoshy:
Now I see the set of imbeciles rubbishing this great country....US and Britain privatised their oil companies and that's why gas n oil is really expensive to purchase in those countries presently.... Is that what u want for Nigeria?

Those private companies would face the same problems and would need to increase the prices of petroleum products.... And we wouldn't have any choice but to purchase them that way..

You might want to check again and find out if the US government has ever owned any oil company

There was anxiety among residents and motorists over alleged cracks on the N2.5b Kundila flyover commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan Saturday, last Week,in Kano.

Motorists were prevented from using the [b]2.4m bridge, Tuesday afternoon. [/b]

The alleged cracks on the flyover triggered celebration among thousands of youths who chorused in unison that the federal government project was a ruse.

When contacted the Managing Director, Rocad Construction company, that handled the project, Roger Farajallah told Vanguard on phone that “the bridge is intact and we are installing a speed breaker at the moment”.

However, armed police have been deployed to the scene to control traffic.

Who copied this report? Is the bridge 2.4m long? And to mentioned that it triggered celebrations?? This is a quack report

Picture is not real. How can they dig a grave and not cover it? How long ago was the grave dug and the people are still looking fresh? This is a picture from somewhere else. Period

APC is very fond of using pictures from other events to tell their lies. The first picture is not anywhere in Nigeria. The license plates are not Nigerian's. Same thing they did with the Reinhard's crusade pictures!!!

Nigerian School system below for clarity:
1. 6 years primary education
2. 6 years secondary education
3. Minimum 4 years university education

Average age of kids starting Primary 1 is 6 years

Total average number of years to get to NYSC is 6+6+4+6=22 years

The conditions for an 18 year old to be doing NYSC below:
1. Started primary school at 2 years old - Girl child education in the North will not permit that
2. Student jumped classes due to unfair quota system - Need to see her FSLC and WAEC results if she has ANY
3. Student jumped classes due to intelligence - Not applicable in the North

From above analogy, Buhari dumped his first wife over frivolous reasons to marry an under 19! He was probably seeing her years before he finally decided to formalize the union. That is my take on it

He did not say the elections will be shifted because Jonathan was loosing. He said the elections will be shifted because there are massive shortcomings in the process that will give Buhari a lead. This is politics and everyone will do everything within their power to make sure they win. If Jonathan foresees himself winning by postponing the elections, let him go ahead with it if he is able to pull through. If APC wants to capture the North by choosing Buhari even though there are more qualified candidates, thy should go ahead. Let us all stop bickering over spilled milk. If I am in a position to make things turn for my favor, I will do same and there will be no apologies to anyone!

Freeze ke? Shows how unrealistic the statement is. Where is the electricity to keep it frozen? Politicians deceiving us since 1960

Price?
