Thanks for adding elucidate to my vocabulary, it's new to me.

To the asshats that think I feel too pompous to learn from them, up yours

Hahahahaha. You are so funny. It is a pleasure sir!

GAZZUZZ:
I used a 2007 rio(same with accent a.c system) I sold it at over 250,000km on same compressor. The older brands are durable.

Okay. I thought as much cos that 06 is so strong and durable.

GAZZUZZ:
poor design across board. I have never seen any of them get to 100,000km any kia or hyundai with VDC variable displacement compressor.

I see. Is that the same type of compressor that comes with the 2014 Hyundai Accent? A friend drives the 2006 model and I think his own mileage should be higher. Will ask him.

GAZZUZZ:
How many miles did you cover in 1year? That compressor did not make it to 50,000km find out.

Well, I don't think I covered more than 15,000km. What's the issue with the compressor? Kindly elucidate.

GAZZUZZ:
Mumu A.C, the stupid design would have died out befor the car hits 50,000 KM VDC in general on hyundai/kia is a failure.

Crash test will be ok nah, see as the nose long like train

This vehicle comes in several variants. The V6, 2.4liter GDI and 2.4 liter fuel injection. There might be more but those are what I have seen. The fuel injection 2.4liter is repair friendly.

I beg to disagree. Hyundai is not a failure. I drove the Hyundai Accent 2014 model for at least a year and it was top notch. Even the 2006 model Accent is so strong and rugged. The Accent was regarded as one of the best sedans in its size category beating the Honda civic and Toyota yaris of the same year hands down. Hyundai vehicles are underated here. Moreover, I have driven a lot of Toyota s and Honda etc but funny enough, Hyundai gave me the best driving experience.The only thing I don't like about the recent versions is just the fibre plastic. Aside that, the vehicles are cool and does not deserve this kind of critism even though you may have your reservations.

Can this beautiful writeup with succint details be compared to the nonsense Nigerian bloggers and tabloids usually dish out? Our reporters/ writers still have a long way to go. Kudos to the writer of the news.

Then I heard.

Good day fellow Nigerians, I am Colonel Dimka, I bring to you good tidings....the hypocrisy of the Murtala Mohammed administration has been discovered.........


Gosh... When Nigeria was Nigeria

This is the first time I will ever come across a sensible/ near sensible thing from you . kudos. Let me reiterate someone's question. Do you live in Nairaland?

@naptu2....You are really a walking encyclopaedia. I doff my hat for you. I will contact you before I hit the WWTBAM hot seat so you can be one of my 5 " call a friend" options . Kudos!

Island is just too stupid No drainage bad roads and things are unnecessarily expensive.
I stayed in egbe and it was on point you will beg Nepa to take light you get good accommodation the road is very good security Nko on point when you pay baba olode 200 per apartment and still feel safe unlike this stupid island where you pay 5k and thieves parade your house every day.
I spend less going from mainland to island than from island to island.

sukkot:
very true. role rehearsals. however you dont take on that kinda job if you dont have nerves of steel. people with nerves of steel are calm under all situations. some are born to handle pressure and some are not. if you are not ? dont be a policeman

......not even in Nigeria where people die for nothing. Government needs to do more. As I am, I cannot get injured for Nigeria talkless of die for her. RIP to the brave man

sukkot:
well thats a negative. you have to be in full control of yourself at all times. you cant let your adrenaline guide you

I think it is easier said than done o. The only control is to always recite action plans. Like, if robbers come in here now, what will I do?( I do that a lot while I was a banker. Ours was a glass house so I could see through it well. I even practiced with an emergency exit that leads to one of the toilets severally. Any suspicious movement or the bang of dynamite at the door, me go tear race towards my action plan ). If they do this, what should my response be? Role rehearsals is very important. I do that a lot even when I drive on the highway. If I hear a loud bang from outside, what should I do? If my tyre suddenly burst at 120, what will I do?......don't panick, no brakes, do this then this then that etc( I repeat the process severally in my mind). My point is role rehearsals help to limit adrenalin rush.

sukkot:
those bullets cant pass through cement , and like i said, it is his limited thinking capacity that made him think he had to run into the face of bullets to run out of safety. thats an oxymoron. let me run into bullets to run out of safety lol . does that make sense to you ?

The Adrelaline rush made him think he stood more chance in an open space than an enclosed space that could result to collateral damage!

sukkot:
OK so many people replied me and I will not spam the thread replying everyone but hopefully everyone who replied me can read this. I say this not out of arrogance but out of FACTS. there is something about living abroad for a while that opens up all your faculties of reasoning. You think better than someone who has never left africa. now if i have never left africa, my sense of reasoning will probably be like that of the police officer and most of the people replying me. things we africans do are usually exagerrated and irrational. our actions and thoughts are irrational BUT we think it is normal because we dont know any other way. I would have done the same thing the officer did if I have never stepped out of nigeria because the thinking capacity is limited. having lived abroad and having a more expanded thinking facility, i see a car pull up, i am behind a cover of cement walls and the assailants have no cover at all. I am at an advantage ALL DAY EVERYDAY. I CANT LOSE with this level of advantage I have. all I have to do is preserve my life by making sure no one comes through that door and keep my gun aimed and ready to fire if anyone comes through. all the while i am calling for backup. IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO TRY AND ENGAGE 4 ARMED ROBBERS AT COMBAT. THE BANK DOES NOT PAY YOU ENOUGH TO DO THAT. WHAT THEY PAY YOU FOR IS TO BE A DETERRENT AND IF IN ANY CASE YOU ARE AT AN ADVANTAGE THEN YOU CAN ENGAGE THE THIEVES IF IT IS ONLY ONE WHO IS UNARMED. SO BY DOING WHAT HE DID HE ENDANGERED THE LIFE OF EVERYBODY AROUND HIM BY TAKING ON 4 ARMED MEN AND GETTING THEM EVEN MORE AGITATED. point being ? they dont pay you enough to risk ya life for 50,000 naira a year.

The hideout is not secure because it can be riddled with bullets. So, he felt he needed a better hideout away from the known one hence the reason for scampering for safety first.

EgunMogaji:
Speaking of targets, do they even do mandatory training in NPF?

Most of the rifles I see looks like they haven't been fired or cleaned in ages.

I know that there's mandatory shooting range certification here routinely. Fail and you'll be assigned a desk job until you pass.

Hmmmmm. Na wa o. I just saw the videos you shared and I was so amazed by the sharpness and readiness of the police officers. Despite the fact that, the police officer in the first video was gisting, he had mental awareness and alertness. He was monitoring what was going on and didn't even take him more than 2 seconds to get hold of his pistol and aim at the target. It is well!

EgunMogaji:
You are right and it mimics what I had said earlier.

The LEO's woke up disadvantaged.

One or two of them should always be outside their post to observe and be aware.

I knew the black car was up to no good from the get-go and they should have focused on it. The first bad guy that came out with an AK should have been shot dead and then the driver nailed through the windscreen.

Exactly! The first set of shots to be fired by the police officers even missed target. They only got the black glass. If they had good position awareness and were battle ready, they would have riddled that car with bullets .

EgunMogaji:
I don't know your experience with firearms but the perfect weapon for that scenario is actually a pistol.

A pistol is the first firearm to take to a close range fight due to accuracy, relatively low recoil, ease of transition from target to target, ease of concealment and ability to continue to return fire in tight quarters.

Yeah, I get but as you can see, the officer could not take a close range fight. He did not even know the nature or type of person in front of him. At that stage, trying to even look up to aim was going to have him dead immediately.All he wanted to do was to take cover before anything else and all these was due to poor situation awareness. So, yes! I agree that a pistol was the best weapon to use but there was no time. They were caught unawares. If you observe, in situations where pistols are usually used, the user is usually a bit calm and aware of his surroundings. Reverse was the case here.

I'm suprised nobody said Dragnet Exam...even the easiest already solved questions....u don't get to pass

Hahahaha. Dragnet! I used to fail one, pass the next, fail one , pass the next in those days ....I don't know why though but it got to a stage it didn't post a threat anymore. I got to meet some veterans wey no dey fail am o due to the number they have written but they won't still get the job.....either second test, interview or magomago and nepotism makes them lose the job eventually. Fear Naija!

Akoja360:
a pistol would have been a better weapon in this senerio due to its accuracy and low recoil compared to that of the enemies AK-47..

That's true, it has a lower recoil velocity but at that moment, there was no chance to hold and point a pistol. The officers are badly trained. They didn't have a good situation awareness and everything happened so fast within 30 seconds or less so there was no time for pistol at all. Moreover, most police officers and soldiers lack the will and motivation. When I used to be a banker, I am usually surprised when I see a lot of people coming to purchase Army forms. Out of curiosity I usually ask each person why they want to join the army and 97% out of 100, I got the same answer of no job! Just to keep body and soul together. If you are not connected, you will be posted to the North. Smh.
Rip to the Mopol.

Oh yeah, now I remember...

I guess as long as I know enough maths to calculate money then I'm good to go. I recently needed to learn how to use percentage because at my workplace we need it for invoicing, so when I mastered it, I felt like I had mastered the world.

That, sir, is all the maths I need

I can only imagine the kind of joy you would have felt . Well done! At least you tried to understand the process when it was needed.
Modified :
When you start having children, you will have to learn again o because dem go use HCF and LCM terrorize mummy o and I am sure you won't want to say mummy does not know and God catch you daddy isn't around. There would be no one to direct them to. I just gave you an expo!
Cc: Ishilove.

Ishilove:
Second time?

No, sir, I disagree I have been screaming it from the Nairaland rooftops for many year

Oh well, I have been thinking about it. Maybe I can understand it better if I start relearning basic maths at this stage of my life

Lol. Maybe second time I will be aware. A maths problem graced the front page which I helped answered that first time and that was when you came screaming in a very funny way . If we had started maths lessons after then, you would have become a maths aficionado by now o. Again, never too late!

sukkot:
my question is why did he leave the vantage point and cover of that room he was where he had an advantage ? he is brave but he is stupid also. RIP tho. he had the advantage when he was in that room and he had cover but he chose to run out and then got shot.

when he was in that room anyone who walks up to the room is at a disadvantage as you saw when the robber walked up to the room and got shot and killed by him.

You are very wrong bro. The hideout is not the type you stay in as he did not even have a clear view from there. Moreover, he gunned the first robber down while still panicking not like he saw him coming. It was just a rapid fire exchange that favoured him. After gunning the first one down, the second one came shooting randomly at the post and the bullets will most likely penetrate hence the reason for running out. As you can see, when he ran out, his gun was not even in auto run ( bad weapon). He only scampered for safety.
The only downside about the whole thing is that the police officers were not battle ready as they were not taking note of all the activities happening prior to that incident. The robbers did not even do a thorough review before coming. They did not come for the police officers first. The moment the first robber shot into the air, if the police officers were battle ready and alert, they would have turned the whole vehicle to scrap through bullets but they only fired a shot at the back window. The remainder of the robbers even had the guts to come out and hold weapons.
In conclusion,
1. The police officers are badly trained with respect to targets aiming.....too poor.
2. They were not battle ready and alert. Reminds me of those yeye police officers usually attached to first bank....they are usually on slippers and carrying the guns lazily.
3. The officers had bad weapons.
4.All officers were not supposed to be at the same place in one tiny room.....they were not strategically arranged.
The best thing the officer could have done was to run out. He was running towards the back of the bank but his speed couldn't have passed the velocity of the bullet and that was why he got shot by the second guy in the video .
RIP to the gallant officer.
