NnamdiN: Uyo to Ikot Ekpene(about 45minutes) that's the farthest my over-protective dad can allow. When I have my own ride, I intend to try uyo to Anambra

Funny enough if not for nysc I wouldn't have dreamt of driving that long cause prior to that the farthest I had driven was enugu-onithsa and back the same day.

nysc made me master long distance driving

Trip: Enugu-Gombe ( and return several times)

Distance: 589miles (one way)

Duration: 12-13hrs

Route: Enugu-Kogi-Benue-Nasarawa-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe.
Alternate route: Enugu-Kogi-Benue-Taraba-Yola-Gombe.

These trips were during my nysc in 2011. I used Google maps during most times and was suprised on how accurate it was for use in Nigeria.

Feel free to adjust the format as you deem fit. It's just a thread for fun.

So what caused the crash Does the aviation minister now know or is it that they just don't deem it important to keep Nigerians in the loop

igbsam: I'm experiencing the same with my EOD 2003 Honda Accord. Each time i turn on the AC, for about 30mins, the temperature will start to rise. I've added coolant, flushed the radiator and even replaced the cap of my Radiator, still its the same thing. And once the temperature begins to rise, the rate at which fuel is being consumed is very alarming. Please, i need you guys to suggest what to do. Now, i can't drive with my AC on. I need help and a i would appreciate if anyone can recomment a good mechanic that would help look into this. I use a 2-cell radiator. Thanks!

Brother I drive the same car and at one point had the same problem. I just changed the relay for the AC radiator fan, this can be found in the engine fuse box and u can easily do this. I bought the used relay for #300 and its been a year since yet it still works.

The reason you experience this is because your 2nd fan does not come on as supposed when the AC does and that's what this relay switch does.

To identify the relay open the engine fuse box and use the circuit diagram on the cover to identify the ac relay. It's an Omron brand relay and it the same with the compressor relay.

Hope this helps, please don't allow mechanics handle your car until u do this. my 2 cents

chikasin4: pls pyke post d phone no and d name of d guy dat sells d original pink colour of toyota in Enugu, because i live in Enugu and i need it urgently, chyco 4life2@yahoo.com is my email. Thank u

The guy goes by the trade name Amaco and his number is 08037768328.

He also sells OEM parts including original Toyota oil filter. my bros has also bought original brand new shock absorbers from him.

It's like people didn't travel much this time around

Kindly restrict the travel experience to travels utilising express ways and not in-city travel

Kindly state the condition of the express roads you rode on if you travelled for Xmas or new year.

For me I made 3 journeys between the 21st-23rd Dec.

1. Owerri - Onithsa: This express road was partly built by Julius Berger. It's simply breathtaking and every driver's joy. No potholes!

2. Onithsa - Alor: Another good road.

3. Alor - Owerri: I wish all roads in Nigeria are like this. The roads connecting to Onithsa-Owerri express road were built by Ngige.

Then on Xmas day...

Owerri-Enugu: The owerri-okigwe bit wasn't so ok, some portions had been escavated in the name of "touching up" and were not filled up.
But okigwe-enugu was nice, FERMA filled up every potholes though some areas were uneven, but nothing near the challenge I faced when I did this journey 1month earlier.

On the 30th I returned to Owerri from Enugu.

In all I was happy with JB, Ngige and FERMA for making my drive enjoyable.

share your own experience this season.

If you're in EN n haven't visited Oakland, try to do so. when u do, head straight for the rollercoaster ride, you go fear and its just #400.

Those driving Toyota's in Enugu are lucky, my brother who drives one managed to find a guy at camp who sell the original red Toyota coolant.

At least you can get a litre of conc. coolant for 1800.

Since I have never seen "honda coolant" ( I drive an EOD) in Nigeria, I'd like to know the next best alternative. Any ideas?

At the moment I use Abro coolant.

Siena, Abeg what locally available coolant would u recommend? I drive a 2003 EOD and I've been topping up coolant ever since I bot the car when I notice the level is low. This time I want to drain everything n pour in fresh stuff. Been using abro brand made in US, is it a good one? Especially when I have never seen OEM Honda coolant in naija.

*I 've done about 30k miles since I bought the car*

We know what this thread is for, those of us that come here know why we do. Silence is a very powerful weapon. I have adopted this technique and plead with us to adopt same;

There are people i no longer read their post, once i see any of the usernames in question, I skip the post and move on to one of those that brought me here. There's no need arguing with someone whose mind is fixed on a matter.

Lets just keep the pics rolling . How I wish I was at Enugu currently would have snapped and posted a couple.

Do you need a dislike button on NL?

Seun: There is a report to moderator button. Learn to use it!

This is not just about reporting posts, you've given us the opportunity to like posts and this is like having a coin with one side only. I believe you can see this also in Afam4eva's post.

afam4eva: To dislike something does not mean it's against the rule. There's a difference.

I'm glad you responded to this calm protest. I'm sure if you conduct a poll on whether NLanders want this,the result will be an overwhelming support akin to Obama's victory over Romney.

I'm hopeful...

lawrenzoo: I have been married for six months and I am in a very big dilemma especially so because I am a Christian. My husband is a pastor whiles I am a chorister.
On the night of our wedding, he insisted that, we pray and give thanks to God. We held long hours of prayer and to be honest with you I was very disappointed. The next day came and he told me that, he has a clear direction from God that, we need to wait for directions as to when we can start getting intimate. It's been one excuse after the other and it has been over six months.
He buys me gifts and makes sure I am comfortable but we have never had intimate relations in all the six months we've been married. I got infuriated and reported him to our counselor who spoke to us but things remained the same. This time round I went to the pastor in charge and upon questioning, my husband admitted that, he is totally impotent and cannot get his manhood up.
I was gripped with fear and shock. When asked how long he had had the problem, he said it's been about7 years. I asked why he did not tell me but lied to me. He said he took a wife by faith, believing that, taking that bold step and 'believing the things that be not as though they were” as the Bible puts it could bring him healing…
Bola, I was hurt and disappointed. I've kept this to myself and feel it is time to speak up. When asked what he wants me to do, he said he wants me to stand with him in prayers and fight the situation. Bola, I don't see myself doing this. I have been asked to be considerate and remember my vows that say “for better, for worse”. But I took these vows out of deception. How long will this last? His situation s I found out is very medically challenging.
Bola I am a very sad and confused person. What will I say is the reason I got out of the marriage? He will be a public ridicule if I ever give the right reasons. Already, ever since we met with the pastor, he finds it difficult to go to church. It is tough. I can tell he is embarrassed and broken but I can't put my own life on hold for him especially so considering the fact that he lied to me. Please ask your listeners to help me out of this. I would like to enjoy intimacy and have children.

Still waiting for a dislike button on NL

spyder880: Today, I went again to Kenyatta market and they have packed away all the filth and the road is back to normal

This is a victory for me!!!

I dont know who removed the rubbish or how, but I know I made an effort to at least do something, and something was done

My brother you are doing a very great work, keep it up. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword. I hail you!!!

Why is there no dislike button on NL

Why can't people rejoice with their brothers who are rejoicing This thread is beautiful and some people; "umu ibe gi" are enjoying it, so why can't you?

I am nwa Alaigbo, not from Enugu, but I am delighted and rejoice at the fact that Enugu is opening up. I really wonder why some people are taking the title of this thread personal.

To be honest, anyone can really tell which state is the most developed in the south-east, but really, I'm sure the originator of this thread did not have that at the back of his mind when he started it.

Some also say that there's nothing to celebrate, well, that isn't true. One should always celebrate little successes while working towards bigger ones.

If someone should open a thread with the title " Nnewi Pride of the East", I will go there and dance heavily because I know that when it comes to manufacturing, they're really doing a heck of a job. Yet I am not from Nnewi.

If I were president, I would:

1. Fire the Minister for petroleum
2. Fire NNPC GM
3. Advertise these positions, bidders for the two posts would have to outline a clear and timed plan to getting Nigerian refineries to at least 70% capacity within the next 1 year.

Corruption will not allow our leaders do this, its a shame. Scarcity in the midst of plenty!!!!

Enough of this nonsense

naptu2: Again! I just got Sexkills to remove a similar post in the crime section this morning. We need to be on the lookout for this nonsense cos I suspect someone might try to post it again.

The dislike button will solve this problem smartly.

Just want to ask why there is no dislike button on nairaland? Every now and then terrible comments come up and yet forum members have no way of venting their displeasure.

In fact someone on this forum has suggested using an auto-hide feature with the dislike button (a certain number of dislikes would automatically hide the post). If the number of dislikes that would activate the auto hide is the issue, then you may rather consider an auto-notify feature where a number of dislikes notifies the moderator of such a post.

You see, this will work smartly for nairaland, because bad posts will always be disliked and with this, moderators will not have to comb through every thread to fish out hateful posts.

I believe android is the most versatile of all. I am enjoying HTC, HTC sense makes their phones so fluid. Although Galaxy S3 runs android its not as fluid as it is on HTC sensation XE

stephenponti: I ve thought of this before oh, Seun should include dislike button it's neccecary. Some people just post trash. It should be programmed in a way that any post that gets 10 hits of dislike will be hidden. And that ll also save moderators some stress.

I think you've just raised a resource-saving solution for NL. I believe the model will work as tribal slurs will always receive the "dislikes". The actual number of dislikes to activate the auto-hide feature may need further deliberation. Very nice thinking there.

I can only laugh heavily at the last time i fought...about 20 years ago

It was in primary school, with one "agboro-looking" boy with an iron face,
somehow i think it was my fascination with the reigning trend then..."put the person on the floor and stuff grass into their mouth"...that made me want to fight (just wanted to do what others did).

I can't even remember what caused the fight, but i can never forget what followed
while i was busy throwing my ajebo punches, this "obiagu" boy was just unbuttoning his shirt
As though nothing was landing on him, i even tried the "grass in mouth" thing yet, he kept unbuttoning .
This struck great fear into me and i was so happy
when classmates came to separate us if not for the boys that held him back, i would have been battered

Its quite unfortunate. I doubt if Lagos would outgrow this problem until power is sorted out.

The truth is no mega city in the world survives by road networks alone. Trains are a sine qua non. And in fact, in the real mega cities, part of the rail network is underground to relieve the volume overground. But all this requires a stable POWER supply.

In addition, other states in Nigeria need to "develop" to relieve the "pressure" on Lagos. Its difficult to see a future of reasonable public services in Lagos if it continues to grow at the current burgeoning rate.

Personally, for this week, I intend to stay off the market till after the US elections. The only pair I may sell is EURCAD given the MACD divergence, but this still depends on if the major support on the daily chart is broken.

I hail everyone o! Been monitoring this thread for about month now. Have some experience with forex, but left the market during the 2008 depression, when all my demo accounts were blown . My basic error; didn't monitor fundamentals then

Well enough said. I salute Rozay, Naijababe and all the grandfathers in the house. Still perfecting SL mechanism for my trading method. Its basically MACD divergence. So far it has delivered, the demo balance i started with has doubled over the past month. Make i post chart small like Rozay

(AGI) Abuja - Nigeria's air transport is in shambles after private airline 'Arik Air' decided to suspend its flights.
Nigeria's main carrier 'Arik Air' agreed today to an indefinite suspension of its flights following an ongoing dispute with Nigerian authorities accused by the company of corruption and trying to extort money from them. The straw that broke the camel's back was a recent raid carried out at the Lagos airport, the country's largest, during which the airline's offices were searched. The carrier's management blamed the operation on Nigeria's national civil aviation body (FAAN) that, in turn, blamed the employees of the airline itself who are reportedly calling for unpaid wages to be paid. The country's second largest airline, 'Air Nigeria', suspended its flights on September 10 complaining about "inefficient and dishonest" staff. The good news is that the Aviation Ministry decided to return the third-largest carrier, Dana Air, its licence after a 3-month suspension. The airline currently operates four planes, as one crashes in Lagos on June 3 killing all of the 153 passengers and an unspecified number (between 10 and 50) of people on the ground Over the next few days, therefore, Dana Air will be the only carrier operating flights in Nigeria. . .

Was boiling an egg but sleep caught the better of me.....Woke up and the kitchen was filled with dense smoke, the electric burner was red hot and only a charred black mass was left in the pot which was also beginning to get disfigured!

It took days for the smell to totally leave the kitchen. So grateful to God that i didn't start a fire
