How has the chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission turned her role into that of a crime news reporter?

And coincidentally the it's only crimes committed by South Easterners that she reports...safe to say they're the only Nigerian criminals in diaspora

Government officials that can't be professional enough to hide their bias... It's a policy from the very top sha, that much is clear.

raumdeuter:
I am sure you and many saw the video of when several young Nigerian girls were posted being trafficked to Ghana like 2 or 3 from the same family and everyone was tagging her office on what they are doing to save the girl. She posted an update that one of the the traffickers is being jailed and you still complain

Dear Nigerians,

The Budget is a mess, but how did we get here?

In this video, our Global Director, @seunonigbinde sheds light on how the @nassnigeria meddles with Nigeria’s budget, year after year, through numerous insertions despite having N100 billion allocated for Zonal… pic.twitter.com/m9WhFOkC4K

I don see this post o, don't even know how I feel about it, on one hand CNG is some sort of reprieve to vehicle owners, but on the other hand Nigeria's anyhowness makes the risk he's suggesting especially dreadful.

Hope he's not scaremongering sha, I follow him, and I know he does have some DIY mechanic experience, don't know if that's enough to see him as an authority in stuffs like this.

GloriousGbola:
Don't enter your car it is dangerous
Don't use electricity it is dangerous
Don't enter plane it is dangerous

CNG is a mature technology. Nothing new to see. They have been using it in India and Pakistan since the 90s.

It is actually electric vehicles we should be worried about imho, esp in Nigeria where people can cut out safety features

Everything u tryped up here is false equivalence.

Number 1 , converting original PMS powered vehicle to CNG is something that is new to us in this clime. The conversion definitely has its dangers which can be further exacerbated by the fact that some chances of error adopting a new technology can be extremely high.

Maybe if people were buying brand new CNG powered cars we wouldn't be much worried but doing conversion ? There are chances that the errors and omissions can be made during the conversion process which might spell danger not just for the car owner but other road users.

The CNG gas is a pressured gas. What do u think will happen when a car running on pressured gas meets bad roads like East-West road in rivers state or those roads in Edo state Obaseki has refused to repair because they are federal roads?

Finally, if CNG is that safe and cheap, why is it that CNG vehicles are not popular in countries in the West? Instead those countries go for electric vehicles that cost them more to recharge. Why?

BlueRayDick:
I honestly don't see it as a reprieve for vehicle owners o. Like u rightly said, there's a risk of "Naija anyhowness" in play here; Nigerians are not known to be the most saftey conscious set of people. I've seen people smoking weed while driving before. Shey na people wey wan use gas power vehicle be that?

Our bad roads too are a serious concern here. Even in major cities like Lagos, Abuja, PHC, etc there are several bad roads here and there. There are countless times ur vehicle's bumper will hit the floor because of bad portion of the road. Have u ever wondered what could happen if u have CNG cylinder in ur booth when the backside of ur vehicle knack ground ?

Abeg o. All those Pakistan, India get good roads o; we no too get.

GloriousGbola:
As an engineer I will never look to the west for solutions

I will look at what has been deployed in countries analogous to Nigeria. Indonesia, Pakistan india

You already know why third world countries don't go for electric cars. Because they require electricity. Westerners who have more energy than they can deal with and are energy hogs can go for evs. Also they are insulated from the big lie about evs that they are cleaner. All evs do is move the footprint.

And you are actually wrong there too, cng vehicles are used in the west. I know this because I had to research cng filling stations.

Also, Since cooking gas can explode, we may as well use firewood. Is that a better analogy?

For the Olodos who only learn from Twitter noisemakers,the fg is investing heavily in cng

BlueRayDick:
Read my post again. I asked why is CNG powered vehicles not popular in the West, I never said it is not being used. Prior to advent of electric vehicles, CNG vehicles were not popular in the west. Since the advent of electric vehicles, CNG vehicles are still not as popular as Electric vehicles . Why?

Are u boldly saying India and Pakistan have deplorable roads like Nigeria? I listed factors that makes CNG seem unsafe in our clime and I mentioned bad roads as one of those factors. I was not making an argument for whether what works in Pakistan & India will or will not work in Nigeria. I mentioned factors peculiar to Nigeria.

GloriousGbola:
Do you not see cng and lpg trucks on the same bad roads? So how come the accidents are mainly limited to petrol tankers?

raumdeuter:
I was thinking he wants to apply as a healthcare worker from Nigeria to approach the embassy?

If he is already in the US, He can go to any of the CNA (certified Nursing assistant) schools, Then can decide to do his LVN/LPN



Are you already in the US or still in Nigeria and hoping to get a visa through the healthcare support worker route?

[color=royalblue]The only thing that scares me about CNG is the integrity of the conversion.

Anything that was changed from the default way it was produced, would always raise concerns about how safe it would be, considering the fact that the changes were not factored during the production process

I am scared of carrying tanks of gas in my trunk and driving on Nigerian roads. Even whites, never designed cars and trucks for the tanks to be in the trunk; Na always "Under".

I don't know sha. We should just be careful[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]How many CNG tankers ply our roads, compared to petrol?

I have seen almost 20 tankers today. I have not seen one CNG

Counter that argument with another point, my Lord[/color]

Speaking during the visit, the minister said the country was transiting to the use of CNG as an alternative fuel and that anything that might hurt the confidence of the people or make people begin to feel that CNG was not safe to use with the type of accident that happened in Abeokuta and Port Harcourt involving CNG trucks was a source of concern.

Ekpo said, “Nigeria’s gas resources are up to 208 trillion cubic feet and we have to make use of it in the way that it should be to drive the economy of this nation.

“So, what we are emphasing is maintaining safety standards because anything that falls beyond this won’t be appreciated.

“Like the Deputy Governor was talking when we visited where the cylinders were kept, we saw a crack on it which suggested that it was not up to standard, maybe that was why the force or friction on it made the cylinder to open and if this is not checked and we let our people install this in their vehicles without ascertaining the standards, it will pose a danger to all involved.

“So, this is a wake-up call to each of us, that we should rise to the challenge of the day.

“We must involve the Standard Organisation of Nigeria and the regulators to ensure that whatever is used in our vehicles is up to standard, so that we don’t have a reoccurrence of this type of accident.”

if someone else said this, i would beleive, but you, a veteran transporter?

no talk like this chief
