Mercedes Benz unveils it's 2018 pick up truck dubbed the " X- class"

Mercedes is offering the X-Class with four engines, two four-cylinder diesels, a four-cylinder gas engine, and a V6 diesel. It'll be offered in both rear- and all-wheel drive form, and either with a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic. At launch, the X-Class will come with switchable 4Matic all-wheel drive with a low-range gearbox, while a permanent all-wheel drive system will arrive later. 


As you'd expect, Mercedes also promises that the X-Class will be better on road than other pickups. The German automaker claims that the X-Class' dynamics are "on a par with passenger cars." Mercedes is also offering the X-Class with its safety tech like lane-keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking.



The X-Class is based on the non-US market Nissan Navara, though its styling is pure Mercedes—the front Facia looks quite a lot like the GLS SUV. Inside, the X-Class gets some of its own design touches, and you'll recognize a lot of switchgear from elsewhere in the Mercedes range. Most obvious is the 8.4-inch "Comand" touch screen that's offered in the C-Class and other Mercedes cars. The X-Class will be offered in three forms—the work-truck-esque "Pure" , the more luxurious "Progressive," and the stylish "Power."

Ever wondered what the codes on license plate number stands for.

The unique plate combination of all non customised plate numbers is in the format ABC-123DE.The first three letters indicate the Local Government Area in which the vehicle was registered, which are followed by three digits and two letters.

ABC-123DE example
KSF-622AE for Kosofe LG

GGE-123ZY for Agege LG

ABA-321AA for Aba south

AAH for Anambra(oguocha)

The following first three letters you see on any Lagos plate number indicates the Local Government area in which the vehicle was registered.

SMK= Somolu LG

JJJ = Ojo LG

KJA = Ikeja LG

AAA = Lagos Island LG

FKJ = Ifako Ijaiye

AKD = Ibeju Lekki LGA

LND = Lagos Mainland LG

LSR = Surulere LG

LSD = Oshodi Isolo LG

KSF = Kosofe LG

AGL = Ajeromi Ifelodun

APP = Apapa LG

KTU = Alimosho LG

BDG = Badagry LG

EKY = Eti-Osa LG

KRD = Ikorodu

EPE = Epe LG 

MUS = Mushin LG

GGE = Agege LG

FST = Festac LG

The same rules applies to all non customised plate numbers in all 36 states In Nigeria.

In size and shape,Nigerian license plates are based on those of the United States. Nigeria and Liberia are the only two African countries that do not use the European license plate format.

The license plates are generally white and the number itself is imprinted in blue. In the upper left-hand corner they carry the Flag of Nigeria or the national coat of arms. The state name and slogan is displayed at the top centre of the plate, and the "Federal Republic of Nigeria" is written at the bottom.

You are free to add your state/local government license plate codes if you know one.

Eko Development Company Limited has said the first phase of its mixed luxury development, Azuri Peninsula, has commenced

According to the Chief Responsibility Officer, EDC, Ms. Ibiene Ogolo, the architectural design of the 120 luxury apartments, 12 super-luxury simplexes and two villas as well as seven townhouse apartments was done by the global design firm, Gensler.

“Azuri Peninsula offers the optimum place to live, work, play and invest, and offers a unique and luxurious urban lifestyle by the delightful marina-front of the Marina district in the vibrant new Eko Atlantic City,” Ogolo said during a tour of the facility.

She added that the entire development would cover about 127,507 square metres, with the phase one taking up 13,000 square metres, while the built up area would take as much a 130,000 square metres.

Ogolo said Azuri Peninsula was already 80 per cent subscribed, while the remaining 20 per cent had yet to be finalised.

According to her, the name Azuri is a combination of two words representing the blue sky and beauty, adding that the promoters wanted a name that resonated with Africa.

She said, “Azuri offers the citizenry an opportunity to live life in residences befitting kings and queens. There will be a five-star marina and yacht club, with an attractive promenade, high-end shops, cafes and a wealth of amenities in a curated and sophisticated environment.

Nigerians would always be peculiar people.Thats what makes the country fun and distracts us from all the wahala .

If you are coming to Nigeria or Lagos for the first time , this would be very helpful.

Here are some slangs we won’t stop saying anytime soon .



Go Slow
This is the way we say “traffic jam” in Naija . I dey inside go slow .

Drop
This has two meanings, it means hailing a taxi and riding in it alone to your destination. It also means alighting from a bus or taxi.

Fockanizer
Well, nothing much to say here, its Vulcanizer people .

Rewire
“Rewire” is actually an action , the person doing the rewiring should be called an electrician , not a rewire, my country pipo !.

Bomber
Its “bumper” folks , haha .

Men In Black
This refers to the police , the popo , the Nigerian Police Force .

Agbero
This word doesnt really mean something abusive , it can be translated as “Carrier of people /carrier of crowd” .But the madness of the agberos has made the word abusive.So it means conductors, tax collectors , infact any tout and their species .

Alaye
From my little understanding of Yoruba , alaye means “the living” “alive” “lively” ,but the way its used is similar to the way Americans call their friends “nigga” or “brah” or “bro” .

Gberaa
It means “move” or “move fast” or “drive” .

Figo
Danfo slang for 500 Naira .I am still confused how they coined this name .

Shandi/Muri
Danfo slang for 20 Naira . Muri-> Muritala Mohammed on the note

Waso/Wazo
Danfo slang for 50 Naira .Coined from two out of the three major ethnic group’s intepretation of “come” .

Wa= Yoruba

Zo=Hausa

Faiba/Fiber
Danfo slang for 10 Naira

Cut Your Hand
This one cracks me up every time .It means “turn the steering wheel” .


Was I spot on ? see any errors ? add yours .

The slang "shandy" for 20 naira note was adapted from the drink Green Sands Shandy because the colour of the bottle was green so was the color of the drink. You know the 20 naira note is also green.

This is where the name " shandy" came from.

The taskforce team of the Nigeria Customs Service today stormed the Lagos home of billionaire businessman, Olu Okeowo, and seized his Rolls Royce cars. According to Sahara Reporters, the luxury cars were seized because the businessman is yet to pay the import duties on the cars.

This story is a lie. The man isn't even in the country

enochogaga:
1. When the power indicator went off does the gen stop supplying power to ur house, if No, then the indicator bulb is bad, but if is not supplying then the gen has an electrical problem, fix it the bulb will light,

2. The auto key could not start coz the battery is weak, dues to long duration of unused, when u then use it the battery charge itself a bit, that why it start.

Abidevine, thanks for contacting prof,

Good morning Prof, I didn't say anything about the power indicator, I said voltage indicator you know that thing on the side of a gen that indicates if the gen output is 220v. It doesn't move anymore if my gen is on. Infact please send me your number so I can call and explain properly.

Professor, I bought a sumec firman spg 3000e2 generator in December 2017. I actually bought it from Alaba. I checked for originality and I confirmed it. Sumec firman crested on the carburetor, and other places. The gen is already doing hard starting

The voltage indicator that indicates that the gen is supplying current to 220v has stopped working. You know the spg3000e2 has key and rope start. I've not used the rope to start it since I bought it, as the key refused to start it, I tried the rope after 3 trials it started, I then turned it off and tried starting with the key and it started. I'm confused the gen is too new to be having this sort of wahala.

Please I need your advice. Thanks. Please mention me when responding so that I know when you respond.
