Thanks, everything seems fine. I've been told a weak battery may trigger it. I just got the car, so I will need to get a battery and see.

I don't think so.

My 2005 accord had that same issue and it drove me nuts as i couldn't lock my car for 30 minutes without the security alarm going off like crazy

I did an intensive online search & traced the cause to tthe sensor located at the bonnet area.

Disconnected it and it did the trick.

Take heart bro.

May God give you ten times what you lost to thieves.

For future situations, incase anyone falls into such situations, the first thing to do is get the card blocked as soon as possible before anything else.

Again, take heart.

Lagos is a jungle. One must always be conscious of his environment and movement in there.

I personally don't envy those living in Lagos.

emmykk:
100 Wike/Tambuwal PDP can't defeat Tinubu/Osinbanjo/zulum come 2023.

The best thing PDP should do is to handover PDP to Atiku if they wish to win.

Any northern under PDP will defeat any southerner under APC.
PDP should do a re-replay of what Tinubu did to Buhari.

Time shall trll

This is just it.

Any Southerner that PDP fields will find it very difficult to defeat an Osibanjo/Zulum or Elrufai ticket if APC indeed flies that ticket.

The only way they can have a serious opportunity of countering such move is to present Atiku and a credible Southern candidate.

But, as these politicians are mostly concerned with personal goals not overall party success, i doubt the possibility of common sense winning the day.

Both Apc & Pdp are in for a tumultuous 2022.

Nigerians, think deeply about your present and future situation before you support a candidate and vote for him/her come 2023 elections.

This is the multiplier effect of being a citizen of a country notorious for all the wrong reasons.

It is disheartening to read this lady's experience in a sister African nation.

If it was done in an European/Western/Middle-Eastern, or any other continent, the outcry of "Racism" would be deafening.

Let's ask ourselves as Nigerians, why are we like this?.

Why are Nigerians synonymous with Drug related offences in the world today? Why are Nigerians synonymous with Internet fraud, online scams. Credit Card, Identity fraud? Cultism, Human trafficking, Prostitution, Illicit money laundering, Intellectual flight, Counterfeiting etc??. Why!?.

Las Las na we do ourselves in this country.

Most of the youth of today don't have a hardworking mindset, they look up to yahoo boys, they adore drug traffickers flossing illicit wealth, they support and defend corrupt politicians and public officers, they rather be oloshos than read or learn a trade to earn their money.

It's a pandemic, as the level of decay in the Nigerian society seen today is unbelievable and unfortunate.

And the world is watching, observing and reading about these happenings every other day both online and off.

No Nation will have this info about Nigerians and not prove hostile to its people and have an extra guard up before they allow such people pass through their borders.


Na we do ourselves!!! Let's have sense for God's sake & change going forward.

Phones / Re: Help Me In Choosing Between Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G And Apple Iphone 13 Pro by nitt: 6:51am On Jan 24, 2022
If you are a phone enthusiast and love to experience functionality, unlimited customisation, great viewing experience & flexibility = S21 ultra

If you are not into wide range of functionality, don't care about customisation, rigid Os but seeking props for brand recogbition and a simple Os that does the basics excellently well = 13pro

Cameras = draw.

Video = Samsung.

Look = Samsung.

Battery = iPhone.

Optimization = iphone.

Show off (Naija way) = iPhone.

Versatility = Samsung.

So, it's up to you to decide based on what you do mostly with a smartphone.

They are two of the best devices in the market at the moment.

Without a catalyst and oxygen sensors, those codes will most likely stay on & fuel consumption on the high side, better replace catalyst with sensor, both up and down.

The camshaft position sensor can either be blocked, broken or short circuited, remove and physically check before replacement, a good tokunbo is not too expensive

If you have them in stock i would like to get the prices.

Politics / Re: Ahmed Lawan: Buhari Did Not Direct Removal Of Petrol Subsidy by nitt: 8:09am On Jan 19, 2022
backbencher:


Yes, it's all very possible, what you have said.

But at the end of the day, we are paying for subsidy from oil revenue, which is set to fall, as oil prices fall due to the fact that everyone and his cousin's son in law is discovering crude oil. (I even read somewhere that oil prices will fall to $66 dollars)

Which leaves us with one problem...where are we going to find money to fund the subsidy?

1. Crude oil revenue...which is falling, and is going to fall (and part of which we are already using to service more and more debt)

2.Taxes, which most Nigerians don't pay (our tax to gdp ratio is 6.4%, one of the lowest even in West Africa)..and which most NIgerians don't like paying.

3.LOANS. More and more loans.

And the above, (except for taxes) don't look good.

We can keep subsidy, but at the end, we won't have the money to keep paying for it. Already, in december, we had zero revenue from oil to pay for subsidy. Where do you think we got the money to pay subsidy that year? (Loans, obviously).


If you want subsidy to keep on going, then stop complaining when government takes loans, OR....support government to tax everyone...from the richest, to the poorest, at high rates to find money for the subsidy and the budget. (And agriculture and mining face the same issues as crude oil...fluctuating prices, and in the case of agric..strong production in the developed world that makes us look like dwarfs).


It's either we eat that frog of complete subsidy removal...or our rising debt from paying for the subsidy will eventually force us to do so.

And yes, prices will fall eventually, plus the value of the naira may improve a bit, since there would be more forex savings from not subsidsing fuel (not a final solution to our economic issues...we have to become an exporter of industrial consumer goods before things improve, but that's another discussion).

Cut government waste...

If Nigerians will be swayed to endure subsidy removal let the politicians lead by example.

You can't argue for subsidy removal (more hardship) to the masses whilst you run fleets of gas guzzling SUVs, unnecessary number of presidential planes, unnecessary foreign travel with retinue of political appointees, aides etc

Security votes running into billions, dormant state house clinics funded annually with billions of tax payers money, an overbloated Legislature maintained with billions in running costs and allowances both at the federal, state & Local government levels, governors appointing thousands of aides, an office of the first lady funded by government, duplication of ministries, government agencies & security apparatus all proving ineffective with little justification for their existence, injecting billions into social welfare programs with little or no impact to the people & economy, instead of channeling those funds into more strategic planning like building mordern refineries in conjuction with private sector to refine our oil and ending subsidies in the oil sector gradually etc etc...

I can go on & on.


The fact of the matter is, our Government is lazy and insincere in implementing pragmatic & more acceptable ways to reduce its loan dependence, sure up its resources and taking the needed critical, tough decisions that will enable Nigeria refine its own oil and even do away with subsidies in the not so distant future.

backbencher:
At the end subsidy has to go. The government is just making more mistakes keeping subsidies

TO anyone quoting me to tell me tales about 'subsidy being a benefit' and 'government is suffering us' consider this

1.We pay for subsidy from crude oil revenues, whose prices have not been stable enough or favorable to us since 2014 when the Saudis and the US decided to show each other shege. Even before 2014, crude has never been favourable enough to us

2.We spend billions subsidizing fuel, which is in turn sold in Ghana, Benin, NIger, Cameroon, even Mali....via smuggling. Fuel costs above N300 in those countries. Tell me, who won't smuggle the fuel...unless you want to build a wall around this country. And our Customs is funded from the same source as the subsidy which means not well enough (see no 1)

3.Subsidy is why the refineries don't work. Basically, prices are kept below the production price, and a subsidy is meant to cover the difference. Over the years refineries have not been able to make a profit to pay for expansion, maintenance, upgrades, etc etc. Staff welfare is paid from...crude oil profits. When refineries can't make a profit, they break down. Which is what happened by the year 2010, and which is why we refine our crude in bad refineries in Holland and Belgium so that we can keep it cheap, and have bad fuel.

4.And keeping on no 3...how much do you think we are going to pay Dangote in subsides, and let's also remember that production costs are not static.
Yes, subsidy means that Dangote is going to sell fuel at a loss, and government is going to dash him money to cover the loss. And that money is going to rise with the rise in Dangote's production costs and debt repayment. Meaning more pressure on our already tight revenue (keep in mind we have 4-5 other private refineries and 20 more on the drawing board. All to be paid subsidy money to keep fuel cheap)

5.Our income from tax is not even enough to cover subsidy costs. 30% of taxable Nigerians pay income tax to state and federal government coffers. We use oil money to cover the deficit, and when oil money is not enough, we pay using loans and more loans from IMF to the Chinese.

Keep in mind that right now, we cannot finance or budget well because of bad oil prices. And we already have to take a loan to keep up inspite of subsidy.


If we want a strong petroleum and refining sector, one that not only makes profit, but exports and exports good quality PMS, we have to remove subsidy . If we want more jobs and investment, subsidy has to go. Paying for subsidy is basically asking for more loans, more deficit budgets, and more problems economically speaking, and zero refineries.

The government needs to wake up to reality..

P.S

For a clear understanding of subsidies and why they are damaging, I suggest you read this article

1.Fuel subsidies in Nigeria: they’re bad for the economy, but the lifeblood of politicians


All these are sweet to type & read, but the reality is that Nigeria has the poorest people in the world with an estimated 100 million (and more) earning less than enough to feed once a day, having food, transport, health and other basic utilities prices as they are presently.

Now, factor in the level of nationwide insecurity, political tension mutual suspicion, unemployment, inflation rates, etc the country is battling with at the moment.

Then, you now remove those subsidies which immediately skyrockets prices of every commodity and utility across the board overnight.

What do you think will happen next?.

Answer = Anarchy!.


Forget the economics & the sweet feel of the keyboard when typing this.

Governments maintain certain national policies no matter how difficult to maintain national security, and removing subsidy is a direct threat to Nigeria's national security.

When the shit hits the fan, Buhari and his finance minister will (private jet) fly out their families overseas while over a hundred million plus people go raving mad!.

Your gear does not down shift due to a faulty speed sensor, replace the small black input sensor

My oga i scanned my car (2005 honda eod 4 cylinder engine) and this are the codes returned - P0011, P0135, P0141

Symptoms I'm having at the moment - very low idle and increase in fuel consumption.


My Findings to get solutions online:

1) P0011 - says Camshaft positon timing over advanced or system performance bank 1. After searching for solution videos on YouTube i saw where a switch in the left side of the engine was replaced. It is a solenoid that is concerned with the delivery of the engine's oil. Please Educate me on this & advice on soluton.

2) From the scan description, the P0135 & P0141 codes are faulty oxygen sensors. Will my fuel economy be affected due to these codes?, because my fuel consumption is a bit high. Do you have them in stock

(pls note, i installed a defouler for the o2 sensor under the car but it didn't erase the code as my panel beater informed me that there is no catalyst present when he installed the defouler.

Will changing the sensor erase the code even with no catalyst in the car? Or should i not bother?.

This man is a political gem and an experienced leader and what he has been able to achieve with his kwankassiya movement is unrivalled in Nigeria today.

To the South Easterners, read through this interview and pick out the lessons on how politics is played.

Keyword: Build Bridges.

You don't go about trying to demand for positions and funding violent groups with the pretext of seccession to attain leadership.

It doesn't work that way and it never will. Kwankwaso made mention of MKO Abiola, you should go study how he was able to achieve nationwide acceptance that is yet to be matched in Nigeria's political journey.
