It is known to cause hallucinations and disorientations. Probably they have generators on overnight and this is causing students to see ghosts.

Lots of things can be easily explained away if we just take keener look at things.

Also lower frequencies than humans can hear can cause such. Humans speech freq are around 20Hz and above. Anything lower is called infrasounds and can cause such disorientations. There are no spiritual stuff in play abeg.

Too late.

Invasion of Libya is own of the reasons for Boko Haram militarisation. All African countries should have opposed NATO and its allies intervention.

When they are just puppets and are corrupt and know that stacks of their loots is sitting in these Western countries.

How do you expect them to oppose it?

Also Did Ghaddafi do himself any good? Killing off political opponents, mass incarceration .it's not that hard to believe that no one actually tried to salvage the situation. It was obvious giving how previous violent regime changes ended.

The truck in the okadigbo incident clearly has no rear underide bar.

The bars should be compulsory but I doubt that would have helped in that incident.

From the pictures , point of impact was rear right tyre wheel of the truck. Guess he saw it late and tried to swerve and was caught by the rear tyre. More reasons the car crumpled on the driver side and damage was severe there to the point the left passenger door splitted open. Impact wasn't evenly distributed.

Although I don't know the time this accident happened but another very common cause of accidents like this especially at night is that many of those trucks do not have rear lights not reflector at all. I almost ran into one about a month or two ago on the express. It was in the night and it had no single rear light plus it was puffing heavy black smoke so it was completely hidden in the dark. It was a narrow escape for me. Another one was just yesternight, this particular truck went dead right in the middle of the single carriage interstate highway and the driver didn't deem it fit to put a C-CAUTION. I wonder why Road Safety isn't doing something about this trucks plying our highways without rear lights. They are just too much.

Yeah i agree. It's only in Nigeria that you have articulated cars without rear tail lights, no call signals and no c caution when they break down. They would rather put leaves on the roads. Like how are leaves a replacement for reflective c cautions that can be seen from 10s of meters away.

Also driving at night in Nigeria especially interstate is like driving blind. No lane markings , no street lights , everywhere pitch black with zero visibility. I would rather break journeys than do night time driving in Nigeria. If you are forced to do that, speeds have to be limited to levels you can make complete halts in less than 3 to 5 seconds.

Apparently the stupid guy was overspeeding which is as usual of such accidents and here he is thanking God for endagering the life of other road users.

Someone that should probably be in jail for Numerous road infractions. He would get well and do another such stunt and kill innocent people. We would all wake up to shout "why God". Nigerians think there aren't consequences for actions and inaction.

And no one is talking about the likely cause of most of these accidents...

DUI's, lack of proper car maintenance, and over speeding plus so many who believe driving is all about pushing the automatic gear lever to the alphabet D and zoom....

That's Nigerians. Safety is all about annointing oil and prayers.

Thank God, God is good, Miracle...all you would be seeing.

I am 100% sure if an investigation was done this was caused by overspeeding or wrongful overtaking. Like 95% of drivers have no proper road safety training. One was overtaking a truck on a bridge at a curve last week. He was lucky to have missed an head on collision with another car. Two red flags of driving, bridges don't have road shoulders so you can't even divert in an emergency and then overtaking at a bend. That's enough to withdraw his license.

Lots of drivers don't understand that trucks have massive blindspots so if you are over taking one you need to let your car be visible and notify the truck driver of your presence. Lots that do sneek up on trucks would end up under the belly of the truck.

No one takes precautions and rinse repeat same accident would happen in another few days.

That is covered by extant laws.

The house is provided for the use of the "first family"

The first family can use the Airplane but it has to be while it is ferrying the President to a destination and they are just co-passengers i.e riding with him.

It can not be used as personal transport
for individuall family members to their
personal destinations when the president isn't on board. It's that simple.

Your right. Current Ponzi schemes going on are Digital Agriculture Investment platforms that claim to have farms, they ask people to invest into their farms. While they promise devious Return On Investment.

In reality they are Ponzi Schemes who stage pictures of farms!

They collect from Peter to pay Paul

I was telling someone that was talking about a Cocoa investment in 2020 that they are actually dumb to invest it.

Cocoa takes an average of 3 to 4 years to grow and most times even longer to start bearing fruits and any sane person knows how marginal the profits are if you are just selling the raw produce. It is not like you are turning it to chocolate or something to get higher yield on investment.

It is this same product someone is telling you to come invest an amount and get 40% returns in 6months on a product that takes years to germinate. Isn't this obviously a scam?

Also if they were having cash flow issues and needed liquid money. A bank loan is approximately 22% interest yearly. So why would you take money from the Public to pay 40% as a business when you can get bank loans at 22% and retain the extra 18% you are to pay the public to yourself if you were really a genuine biz? That alone should tell you what you need to know.

But as usual. Most Nigerians went to school but never gleaned any common sense out of the education and certificate they flaunt around.

No empathy for such people.

A large swathe of Nigerians are actually gullible. They deserved to be scammed. That's why these kind of Ponzi would continue to thrive.

Aren't they the ones contributing money they don't have for BBN members? Buying skin care products worth thousands without any form of checks on what the product entails aside the brainwashing videos of the sellers?

Lots of large limestone deposits around the Cross River basin so this is likely the cause.

Such large concentration of these minerals would alter the color of the water.

chronos00:
Lol

Bros, you say I can't make comparisons, but its obvious that the entire purpose of your posts and this thread, is to compare the IS250 to other vehicles, Mercedes Benz models, for instance.

Those pictures I posted are pictures of 2012 Acura TL, the same model you own and drive, all mangled up, I strongly doubt that anybody survived those wrecks.

You're trying to create the impression that the IS250 is an unsafe vehicle, based on wrecks you claim to have come across. I could also make the same claim for the Acura, based on those pictures.

There are several factors that affect structural integrity. Prior collisions, unsafe handling, are a few of them. If the IS 250 were a structurally unsafe vehicle, that would have been revealed a long time ago by the people who buy these vehicles new, and who use them for hundreds of thousands of miles, before we receive them.

So bros, avoid the fallacy of hasty generalization. Anecdotes sound good, but aren't always factual.

This is absolute BS.

He observed something and is following through to ask questions. Instead of you to provide answers/facts/links or move on. You are invalidating his credible opinions.

How did you come to the conclusion that the is 250 is structurally safe? From what line are you pulling your dataset out from? Crash test performed by you?

He has seen 8 different cars of same model and they are a complete write off. That's a point of concern. Is it the owners (likely young adults) driving recklessly? Is it because of the low profile tyres used on these cars in Nigeria? Is the engines turbo charged so most drivers drive much faster and in the event of accidents those cars are severely damaged due to speed. Are the cars crumple zones made much more softer so as to take the shock and blow of an accident thus preventing serious injuries to the occupants? Not a single one of this did you answer or provide insights to.

Where were the hospital staff when he removed the oxygen? And why was he allowed into the hospital in the first place? Careless people.

The management and staff of the hospital should be held alongside the man.

Some women though. I can't understand why you'll continue staying with a man that beats you at the slightest provocation.to me it's plain stupidity because it's glaring that this man now Hates you with a passion hence the incessant beatings, yet you remain there because of one stupid love until he kills you.

Women receive sense while you're still alive. Being with someone is not by force. If a man stops caring about you and becomes a threat to your life, make a U- turn.

Easier said than done. Best option is to leave such marriages but honestly the realities for a lot of ladies in such abusive relationships is quite grim.

There's a soceital understanding that a separated or divorced woman is a bad person or an outcast. Trust me, you would wish to be dead than to be exposed to such constant psychological trauma the society puts women in such situations through. You would never want to be in such, so most times ladies try and wait and hope that with time things would improve and such would abate

We have built a society where even Landlords wouldn't rent houses to single mothers. Also setting up a new life or resettlement is extremely hard and frustrating especially in a country where millions are just struggling to live. Most ladies can't even move back home because the jobs they do is in the city and moving is a no no except you want them to lose their livelihoods. Last thing you would advise someone trying to leave a bad situation to do.

Also most aren't even bouyant enough to make such move. If you take a look at such abusive relationships, the man always cuts her independence by making her financially dependent and also cuts family and friends from her. So where would a mother of 3 without a penny to her name move to?

From an outsider's POV, moving out is the easiest solution to preserve life but until we start looking at the challenges faced by married women in such abusive relationships and why 90% rarely exit the marriage and seek ways of resolving their "hesitations" then we would not stop hearing such endless sad news unfortunately.

I think he is going senile.

Context is everything. He should come forward and justify how the high cost of governance in Nigeria has yielded anything positive.

A cost of governance that is so high that it improverishes the governed and strips them of any access to basic need.

Cost of governance that bestows perpetual pensions, 4 brand new cars every 2 to 3 years for ex Governors and their deputies, pensions for their wives while even the brightest young chap working in a blue chip company in the same country can't afford to buy even the most basic brand new sedan in the market even if they have to save all their allowances for 5 years. He should come justify that. Wages , structure of government, should mirror the environment, ours is upside down like everything.

He should come justify how it is efficient that a governor has 21 commisioners, 500 Senior SAs, 1000 SAs, retinue of economic advisers, chairmen of 100s of Boards and their members and such state can't pay basic salaries for months, is in huge debt, can't provide basic amenities, education is zero, health is moribund and roads across the state is in abject disarray while the so called leaders receive fat salaries for such absolute underperformance.

When he is done maybe we can have a discussion as regards how efficient our cost of governance is.

Truth is people need to speak up about these prices. Everything seems to be upside down in Lagos . Something doesn't have to be pricey for it be termed upscale or good. I understand cost of running biz is high but still yet those prices are expensive asf for the services.

10k is averagely $25.

A 1 day water park entry into DisneWorld in Florida is $69 and the facilities in there is 50 times whatever you have up there.

I went bungee jumping in Joburg and it cost us 300 rands for two people. That's average of N3500 per person. That's a justifiable cost not this baby sand castle in the water for 5k 1 hour.

Problem with such areas are. They are way too expensive.

5000 for adults just to spend 1hour. Outside food not allowed in. So definitely food would be expensive. To get a soda drink and prolly donut would be like 3k.

You pay 2k to access the beach area per head.

Just to spend 1 hour of which the first 10 minutes would be you trying to wear the gear and the last 10mimutes would be about you trying to leave.

At the end you and bey have spent 20k just to have 45 minutes of fun.

At this point the only sensible thing is to dissolve this country.

If some section of the country want to live like animals in the stoneage without freedom for other members of the society then they should be allowed to do that in their own enclave/country.

As long as there is a secular constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria all those things they have codified is absolute BS when it relates to people who aren't "covered".

Kano Hisbah should remind me where such stupid laws applied to non muslims and when did Sharia courts have the right to hold people behind bars for Civil matters that is if we are even assuming that this case is worth listening to.

This is beyond disgusting. This is why allowing religious talk to exist in a silo amongst a group of people is the worst thing that can happen, before long such set of people would have turned cult like. It has been repeatedly proven. This isn't Islam anymore, this is more like cultism without any commonsense.

kunki90:
Hello Everyone, please who knows what could cause vibration when car is P(park) or when not in motion and in drive. It vibrates either A/C is on or not, but vibration is even more when A/C is on.

Things I have done:
1) Change upper engine mount - was defective
2) Serviced injectors, cleaned throttle body
3) Adjusted slow running.

None seems to work and immediately goes back to vibration after repair.

Any ideas?

You sure those engine mounts are OEM?
Those fake ass Chinese knockoffs they sell in Nigerian markets aren't mounts but just rubber.

Had an issue with bad vibration after changing mounts on an Honda. Only thing that made me realise it was the mounts that were causing the vibrations at idle was that i took down notes and dates of changes and could walk back to when i started noticing the issues. Took me months to finally figure it out and fix it. Your Nigerian mech were all shouting change plug, throttle body is dirty, fuel pump and what not. I ordered a complete set of throttle body with all sets of Solenoid intact without improvement.

Most of those mounts are hydraulic mounts which can detect load and stabilise the car. You get a knockoff mount without the hydraulic and you would get such bad vibrations.
