chukel:
Lol. Half starting or hard starting. Check the fuel relay behind the battery.

Its working fine

chillex8:
Pls define "half starting"

Half starting or hard starting like someone mentioned, is when I start the car but it doesn't pick immediately. Sometimes it even runs down the battery.

[quote author=mayor2013 post=29535452][/quote]Lol that's what I hear the mechanics here call it o! Me sef tire for the term.

I am planning on using an old Benz 300 to help me meet supply to some customers but. The issue the car is having is that it always enters 'half starting' especialluy in the mornings. Even after driving for sometime and I leave it for up to an hour and want to start it again, it does the same half starting. I have given it to different mechanics who have worked on the injector and the kick but it seems to occur after sometime.
Please I will like the experts here to help with some good solution to this problem. Thanks

Edokpia:
. Do you know anyone that sigh for dec and successfully click on submit, because my bank acct no which I saved along has been updated on my profile.

Bro, I guess you are from Benin. We experienced the same issue with our time sheet on the first month until after the second month we were able to submit. Just keep refreshing the homepage since you have already saved maybe it will come up. But I advice you not to remark the days on the time sheet because it might go back to zero days and you won't be able to revert it . Am telling you this from experience

Edokpia:
. Pls I have filled my timesheet 4 dec, I can only save I have not been able to submit,I can find submit button even when I clicked on home I could not find submit and my days of work still shows 0,what do I do today is the last day pls help.

Maybe you should refresh it.

pswagz:
Bro can u pls enlighten me on timesheet?? my employer has not filled any of ours...maybe he dnt kn abt it!...i wz matched on 13th of dec bt my employer ask us 2 resume 2day 5 Jan. is it goin 2 affect our timesheet?wen r we suppose 2 start marking? r we eligible 4 dec stipend?

If you have been hired by your employer before the end of December then you are likely to have a timesheet. Tell your employer to log into his aGIS account before the end of today and click on timesheet\feedback for you. He is to mark the days of december for you, give a report, then input your account number on the box provided and save it. He should do this for all the interns in his firm, then go back to the homepage where he will find the submit pending time sheet and submit it.

DoubleFaith:
Guys please confirm your timesheet. Especially those that have their own filled before now. Number of days is changing from 23 to 0. Please confirm yours quickly before today runs out o.

Your employer has mistakenly unmarked your time sheet that's why it changed back to 0. And its obvious he has not submitted that's why it can still change. Tell him to remark, save it, go back to the homepage and submit it.

Jaynaira:
20 even small sef. During the ph fair,there was a firm that requested for 100 interns,another 50.My employer only took 20 but just 10 got the surep confirmation email.It all depends on the firm and why they need the interns.Some are into new projects and they need cheap labour since they are not the ones paying the interns,na naija we dey,all follow for graduate internship.

Jaynaira:
My status shows "no opportunity matches yet,check back later".thanks for showing concern.

Ok. That means you have not been matched at all. A possible rematch will do the magic. But you said the interns in your firm is up to 20, don't they have a maximum limit?

Jaynaira:
My employer is approved. Am sure of this because some other graduates manually matched to the same company got SureP confirmation mail and some have even got December pay. Tho I am not the only one with the problem as out of 20 taken by this employer during the fair,only 10 have got the surep confirmation mail and the mails came at different times. My employer asked me to wait,maybe mine might come but since 19th Nov 2014,...I doubt if it will ever come. I really need info on how my employer can do the online matching for me if possible since he is willing...I think rematching will be a longer process.Edokpia,Puntersmind,Laduna,anyone with ideas,pls help

When you log into your gis profile what does your status show? If its showing pending hired and accepted by graduate it may just be for your employer to log in and accept you or rather hire you from his own gis account. It all depends on what your status shows that will tell the next step.

Edokpia:
. Ask them if their employer accepted them online as when due(five working days of reciept) and if their documents were scanned and sent by their employer to surep within 14 days. Any thing short of this there will be lacuna and distortion.

Ok thanks.

Edokpia:
. Sept 15 @internship fair, you see the problem in benin and with most employers is that either they are not conversant with the procedures of matching interns or they are reluctant to do what they are suppose to do,many employers that are conversant with internet were not approved by surep even though they were invited to participate in the fair. This my friend in benin told me that after he was matched on 15 sept he closely monitored his employer he discovered that he is not too computer literate therefore he appealed to him to be fully involved in the matching process including signing of monthly time sheet,that he has been paid sept,oct,and nov stipends,he said many interns has not been accepted online by their employers and many don't sign time sheet on time. I was rematched by puntersmind on this forum on 23 dec,given this experience from my friend and the fact that my employer has travelled to his village for xmas holiday I quickly called him and explain every and even collected his surep employer username and password I have done every thing by myself and my status has shown hired and I might even sign my dec timesheet base on proper understanding and permission,so I hope to get my dec stipend in BENIN.

What you said its true but most of the interns hired in September with time sheet filled and submitted are yet to be paid and I wonder what and where its all going wrong.

I Criticised Jonathan Nothing Happened, I Criticised Buhari & I Get Death Threats – Sheikh Gumi

A prominent Nigerian Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, said Tuesday he has been threatened for not supporting Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
...
The Kaduna-based cleric raised the alarm on Tuesday in a Facebook post titled, “PDP v APC: It’s Not about Religion.”
He said his children have also been receiving calls from persons who use unknown telephone numbers to threaten them.
“People like me who had all along been critical about the government can longer speak or express personal opinion if it is not in support of Gen. Buhari,” said Shiekh Gumi

Sure-p Graduate internship scheme is for real. They have been intership fair in most of the states where they match interns with employers for a monthly stipend of 30k. The problem with the scheme is that they don't pay the stipend as at when due and up till now some interns in the scheme are being owed up to 3 months. And the manner in which they pay, is like some states are excluded from payment. So if any official of sure-p gis is here, he should kindly enlighten us on the irregularities in payment. My state(Edo) is yet to be paid since September while some states have even been paid November.

puntersmind:
Stipend is not paid based on political affiliations.

Then sir, why are some states yet to be paid? For some of us are been tempted to think so.

Are they paying this stipend based on the political afiliation of a state? Why would some states be paid and others left behind, I wonder.

OrangeDream:
Well sir,from your post,you also said "Its like they don't pay interns from Edo" not "They have not paid interns"..There's a difference sir..You will surely be paid.Provided you've done all the needful like timesheet from your end.Do have a most wonderful day

Yes I used that statement because all the interns I know thet were matched during the fair in september hasn't being paid till date despite doing the needful in the time sheet. Do have a wonderful day too.

OrangeDream:
Or perharps,they don't pay u..Stop ur generalisation

Mr OrangeDream its like you have been paid beacuse majority of the interns I know here(Benin) haven't being paid. And from what I read from your post you are from Jos. So on what ground are you trying to counter my post?

Its like Sure-p doesn't pay interns from Edo state.

Ettimah:
What s happening wit our November stipends? Dis s xmas ooo

Its as a result of the fall in global oil price... LoL

This intervention has been provoked, not so much by the ambitions of General Buhari to return to power at the head of a democratic Nigeria, as by declarations of support from directions that leave one totally dumbfounded. It would appear that some, myself among them, had been overcomplacent about the magnitude of an ambition that seemed as preposterous as the late effort of General Ibrahim Babangida to aspire yet again to the honour of presiding over a society that truly seeks a democratic future.  What one had dismissed was a rash of illusions, brought about by other political improbabilities that surround us, however, is being given an air of plausibility by individuals and groupings to which one had earlier attributed a sense of relevance of historic actualities. Recently, I published an article in the media, invoking the possible recourse to psychiatric explanation for some of the incongruities in conduct within national leadership. Now, to tell the truth, I have begun to seriously address the issue of which section of society requires the services of a psychiatrist. The contest for a seizure of rationality is now so polarized that I am quite reconciled to the fact it could be those of us on this side, not the opposing school of thought that ought to declare ourselves candidates for a lunatic asylum. So be it. While that decision hangs in the balance however, the forum is open. Let both sides continue to address our cases to the electorate, but also prepare to submit ourselves for psychiatric examination.

 
The time being so close to electoral decision, we can understand the haste of some to resort to shortcuts. In the process however, we should not commit the error of opening the political space to any alternative whose curative touch to national afflictions have proven  more deadly than the disease. In order to reduce the clutter in our options towards the forthcoming elections, we urge a beginning from what we do know, what we have undergone, what millions can verify, what can be sustained by evidence accessible even to the school pupil, the street hawker or a just-come visitor from outer space. Leaving Buhari aside for now, I propose a commencing exercise that should guide us along the path of elimination as we examine the existing register of would-be president. That initial exercise can be summed up in the following speculation: “If it were possible for Olusegun Obasanjo, the actual incumbent, to stand again for election, would you vote for him?”

            If the answer is “yes”, then of course all discussion is at an end. If the answer is ‘No’ however, then it follows that a choice of a successor made by Obasanjo should be assessed as hovering between extremely dangerous and an outright kiss of death. The degree of acceptability of such a candidate should also be inversely proportionate to the passion with which he or she is promoted by the would-be ‘godfather’. We do not lack for open evidence about Obasanjo’s passion in this respect. From Lagos to the USA, he has taken great pains to assure the nation and the world that the anointed NPN presidential flag bearer is guaranteed, in his judgment, to carry out his policies. Such an endorsement/anointment is more than sufficient, in my view, for public acceptance or rejection. Yar’Adua’s candidature amounts to a terminal kiss from a moribund regime. Nothing against the person of this – I am informed - personable governor, but let him understand that in addition to the direct source of his emergence, the PDP, on whose platform he stands, represents the most harrowing of this nation’s nightmares over and beyond even the horrors of the Abacha regime. If he wishes to be considered on his own merit, now is time for him, as well as others similarly enmeshed, to exercise the moral courage that goes with his repudiation of that party, a dissociation from its past, and a pledge to reverse its menacing future. We shall find him an alternative platform on which to stand, and then have him present his credentials along those of other candidates engaged in forging a credible opposition alliance. Until then, let us bury this particular proposition and move on to a far graver, looming danger, personified in the history of General Buhari.

           
The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive.  History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order.

Buhari – need one remind anyone - was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry.  

            Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths - Lawal  Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community – religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear.

The execution of that youthful innocent – for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission - was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power” At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence.  In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again.

           
Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being.  Not content with hammering down the freedom of expression in general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud our media – those battle scarred professionals did not completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people’s campaign for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed – military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition.

           
So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma!

           
Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his ‘corrective’ rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested – except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buhari’s coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagari’s government but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility.

 
And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat from dustbins - escaped through the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas.   

 
The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne.  The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention.  Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of ‘dis’pline’, it was nothing short of impudent.

           
Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the ‘judicial’ processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin.  He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror. 

The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied.  The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism.

 
Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission  of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa.?

 
One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being.  The story of the thirty something suitcases – it would appear that they were even closer to fifty - found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate.  For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders – air, sea and land – had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets.

 
Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needle’s eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo – later to become an emir -  to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment – as I later discovered - of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time.  Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiable.

bolafavour:
@puntersmind, please I was matched with a school at Oyo internship fair. The proprietress of the school said she has not been receiving any message from Sure-p, because the email address she used to register on GIS website is no more active. She has forgotten the password and in retrieving the password she needs the yahoo ID which she can't remember also. This have prevented her from accessing her account on the GIS website. I am at a cross road, my status on the GIS account is already reading "hired" whereas I'm still jobless, the employer has not been able to matched me and other interns on line due to lack of access to her GIS account. Messages have been sent to the PIU, they only acknowledge the receipt, no action have been taken. I'm thinking of rematch? or what should I do sir?

NB: Somebody called her on the day of the fair via her GSM to come and join the other employers. There was no prior information

GIS code: GI-OYO-EGB-00212
NAME: Owoeye Bolanle S.
EMAIL: bolafavour2002@yahoo.com

If your account is showing 'hired' that means your employer has been able to log into her GIS account to hire you since she is the only one that can do so. Except you meant to type 'pending hired'.

dhope:
@Puntersmind pls dont leave us to our plight at dis moment on nairaland. i went for internship fair in ib and cudnt get matched wit any employer. i read mechanical engineering and my gis code is GI-OYO-EGB-01138. pls i'd appreciate ur kind gesture to match me rightly wit a firm.

Only you start towards end of this month and wan know if time sheet don fall out. Only you still go Ibadan fair dey find matching.. Guy which level?

samobaba4u:
Received a msg to forward my uba acct no & full name to a number for my outstanding payment. Anybody in d same shoe with me?

Please mail me the number; mendezkhalifa@gmail.com

puntersmind:
Drop your email ASAP

An employer who got registered in sure-p needs approval. Please kindly help. The email is nwaufudumebi2013@gmail.com

puntersmind:
If your question is whether interns from other state matched during Internship fair have been receiving their stipend? The answer is Yes. I am aware a couple of them that I assisted have been receiving their stipends. I want to ask interns in Benin a question, Was there any major issue or problem at the venue on the Internship fair in Benin?

There was no major issue because the fair went smoothly but its very suprising that up till now none of the interns I have met so far has testified to receiving stipend. Even my employer can't find submit button on her sure-p homepage after marking and saving the time sheet.

LadunaI:
Please if you can endeavour read the old post by Autority2006, I cant remember precisely the post no but I according to him after you have open timesheet and ticking of number of days worked in that month together with little write up on experience gained in that month then you save that for each interns.

Then you go back to homepage and on the down side there you will see SUBMIT button. I think as far I can remember that is how he described the process. You can give it a trial.

Yes that's how I saw the explanation too, but my employer can't seem to find that submit button on her homepage that's why I need some clearification on it.

@puntersmind God bless you sir for your effort on this thread so far. I already sent you a mail but I will like to know the location of the submit button for the time sheet because my employer said she can't find it except the save time sheet at the bottom of the feedback box.
