Interesting days ahead. NDC will shock the APC, ADC and PDP combined.

Deji should tell us about the progress of the Defamation suit against him in Onitsha. If he is not careful, the next suit against his flapping flabby mouth will be in Abakaliki.

How about telling us the ones you collected. Audio rejection of egunje.😂😂😂

The way Umahi talks sometimes you wonder about the level of his intelligence. With all his claims of being a great engineer, it seems all na wash.

Very good development. Self defense is a fundamental human right. It is your right as a human being. Don't let APC government or Bwala tell you that you need government permission to defend yourself.

Where is your own borehole, ebin pawa? Your shamelessness is shaming your village people.

Just the beginning. You all stray chicks will come back, one by one. A new Nigeria is urgent and POssible.

Weak man without sense. You started a fight you could not finish. Instead of standing like a man, you dicided to align with a pack of wolves on false hope. Don't worry, just wait for 2027 and see what the incoming governor of rivers and EFCC will do. It is just the beginning.

Where is your workshop?

RyanAutomotive:
Good morning sir.

Vehicle: Toyota RAV4 2008 (Automatic)
Concern: Delayed engagement into Drive (D) after long parking period, especially in the morning

Let’s address this properly before anyone recommends unnecessary gearbox replacement or trial-and-error repairs.


* Professional Diagnostic Insight

From your explanation:

• Vehicle hesitates to move when shifted into Drive
• Delay lasts about 4–5 seconds
• Sometimes engages with a jerk
• Happens mainly after the vehicle has been parked for several hours or overnight
• Once it starts moving, the transmission behaves normally throughout the day

* This is a classic sign of delayed transmission pressure build-up during cold start.

In simple terms:

When the vehicle sits for long hours, transmission fluid pressure is not building quickly enough during initial engagement.


* Important Observation

The fact that:

• It only happens after long parking periods
• And disappears once the vehicle warms up

…is a very important clue.

This usually points more toward:

• Hydraulic pressure leak-down
• Valve body wear
• Transmission fluid condition
• Or early internal seal wear

—not necessarily complete gearbox failure yet.


* Most Likely Causes

1. Low or Weak Transmission Fluid Pressure
• Pressure drains internally while parked
• Causes delayed gear engagement on startup


2. Old / Degraded Transmission Fluid
• Fluid loses viscosity and hydraulic efficiency over time
• Common on aging Toyota transmissions


3. Valve Body or Solenoid Wear
• Pressure control valves may stick during cold conditions
• Delayed pressure application causes the hesitation and jerk


4. Internal Seal Wear (Early Stage)
• Seals harden with age
• Fluid leaks internally overnight before startup


* What Should Be Checked Now

Before making major repair decisions:

1. Check Transmission Fluid Level Properly
• Must be checked at operating temperature
• Low fluid can worsen delayed engagement


2. Inspect Fluid Condition
Check if fluid is:
• Dark
• Burnt-smelling
• Contaminated


3. Perform Transmission Scan
Even if no warning light is showing, stored transmission codes may exist.


4. Live Data Monitoring
Check:
• Line pressure behavior
• Solenoid response
• Transmission temperature


* Do NOT Do This

• Do NOT ignore the symptom because it “goes away later”
• Do NOT continue forcing the gear aggressively every morning
• Do NOT rush into full gearbox replacement yet
• Do NOT allow random mechanics to start dismantling the transmission unnecessarily


* Professional Insight

Your transmission is already giving an early warning sign.

The delayed engagement means:

• Hydraulic pressure is not applying immediately during cold startup.

If attended to early, it may still be resolved with:
• Proper fluid service
• Valve body attention( If its something that could be corrected)

But if ignored for too long(or you have driven the car with same symptoms for long, it depends):
• It can progress into clutch pack damage and major transmission failure. and that could lead to a proper replacement.



* Ryan Automotive Limited Recommendation

The next step should be a structured transmission diagnosis, including:

• Proper ATF inspection
• Transmission pressure evaluation
• Live data scan
• Solenoid and valve body assessment

At Ryan Automotive Limited, we carry out professional transmission diagnostics and fault tracing to identify whether the issue is fluid-related, hydraulic, electrical, or internal wear — before unnecessary replacement costs occur.

Early diagnosis is always cheaper than full Replacement because we don’t support rebuild

After seeing this, the APC government in lagoon will come after traders in Ladipo. They will claim the environment is dirty, that they are supposed to be moved to an approved area, de congestion, and other flimsy nonsense just to extort money from hard working people .

Traders Surprise Man With Huge Pile Of Cash After His Wife Gives Birth to Twins.

In the heart of Ladipo market in Lagos, Nigeria, a man got the surprise of his life after his wife gave birth to twins. His Fellow traders and marketers who heard the good news quickly rallied together and showered him with bundles of cash.

The man stood there speechless as notes were stuffed into his hands, pockets and table in front of him amid cheers and laughter. It was a beautiful moment of pure kindness. People in the market said they just wanted to support the new father and ease the burden of raising twins.

He couldn’t stop thanking them, calling it a miracle he’ll never forget. The heartwarming video has since gone viral, reminding everyone of the strong community spirit that still exists in Lagos markets.

Apologies not accepted. Desmond, go back to Nollywood. No be only you Waka come.

Dangote wants monopoly through the backdoor. Simple

Then stop complaining like a headless chicken. Seriake Dickson that formed the party is Igbo abi? Shamelessness.

Evelynluv20:
what’s my business with Igbo group?

Yes. His head is not correct. APC has dealt with him. All the defectors to APC will gnash their teeth for their treachery.

Flangelo12:
Are we allowed to say his head is not correct?

Panic indeed. Panic as how? Who knows makinde? As frdulent coalition candidate didn't work again for him to be vp candidate, he is picking form. Picking form to do what exactly.

Has anyone stopped you and your family members, friends, school mates, church members or mosque members, markets women, etc from joining NDC? Shamelessness.

Evelynluv20:
I said it earlier. Igbo just want to hijack that ok movement in Lagos

Bayo onanuga will not notice the worsening economy. He is baited on OBI.

But it's Tinubu's words that can be trusted? You cannot name one good thing your APshit has done in almost four years. But it's PO you're fixated on. You can't use the same energy to make yourself useful.

Very good development. That's what happens when you don't mind your own business. This man could not prepare his own party for registration. Instead he wanted to see if he could be sponsored to destabilize another party.

You know APC machines and dishonest propagandists when you hear them say "you guys". They like profiling other people as if it's "they versus us". That is how you people have divided Nigeria. Someone cannot have his personal opinion again without being termed "you guys". I pity you, honestly.

WizardOfNG:
No he is not. He is an intelligent guy who understands what Nigeria has to do to become developed.

If he profiles correctly, he can easily become a political leader in future.

Per Seaports, let's focus on what is factual. We live in an information age and it is disingenuous pursuing an agenda of giving a dog a bad name to hang it.

You guys should let go of historical prejudice and vendetta to get behind Tinubu if progress for yourselves and your generations unborn is what you truly seek.

Fsctually, Tinubu is doing the business. You guys just don't wish to see it and are not ready to defer to facts.

He is spinning a yarn. Twisting what we already know in order to hoodwink us. If Tinubu is restructuring, let him start with seaports. When he earnestly decentralizes sea ports, I will take him seriously. Otherwise, all na wash.

WizardOfNG:
Lol. What lies did the commentator tell?

Prodigal politicians fighting thieves for the treasury. The thieves think they will rig elections and continue to steal from the treasury for ever.

nobaga:
We Have No Parties Only Prodigal Politicians Fighting For The Treasury

Africa, for how long! We reap the dysfunctional seeds we sow. Our leaders who are today the fathers and mothers of Nepo-Children swear that their children must enjoy everything they lack or were denied when growing up under disciplined or poor parents. When other members of the communities see the outrageous and conspicuous spending of money their leaders did not earn, they emulate them. Even if not in politics, they die trying to get rich by any means.

Each of the recircled prodigal politicians would do anything to empty the Treasury, promising Salvation for almost 70 years. Instead of the masses fighting their oppressors directly, they waste their energy and useful time falling for ethnic distraction of the three ethnic groups getting Power to become the President. While the voters and the combatants ignore most of the well qualified minorities across the North to South of the country, the hegemon takes charge.

Nigerians have lost count and even number to so many millions and billions Prodigal Politicians and their cronies have looted out of the country. There are so many investigations at home and abroad to recover billions in dollars which were never returned home. If these looted funds are repatriated back to Nigeria, another set of looters are waiting to recoup them into their private pockets. We wonder at what point the disenfranchised people would have enough and revolt!

The American popular documentary series written by Alex Hailey in the 70s showed when a white child asked the father: if you said Africans were too dumb, why would you not allow them to read and write. He answered that education was a double-edged sword. It would cut both ways. South African white leaders including P. W Botha and Ian Smith of Rhodesia predicted that you cannot leave Africans to themselves because they would be self-destructive.

Indeed, nobody asks how people make their money anymore, unlike the days when living above your means exposed some odious means of income. We used to report our fellow students who spend money suspiciously. Even today, a few parents have refused expensive gifts from their children because they do not know his means of income while other parents gleefully accept expensive cars. If you report their children, they would ask you “shey nah your money he steal”?

OPINION: If Plateau’s Illegal Arms Factories Belonged to Fulani Militias, the World Would Be Burning



The discovery of another illegal arms factory in Plateau State should have shaken the conscience of the nation. But it did not. Not because the development was insignificant, but because it did not fit the preferred narrative carefully marketed for years by crisis merchants, foreign lobbyists, and politically interested actors feeding off the Plateau conflict.

Imagine for a moment if troops had uncovered three illegal arms factories operated by Fulani militias in their harmlet in Plateau within three weeks. Imagine if security forces had recovered fabricated AK-47 rifles, welding machines, recoiling springs, ammunition shells and weapon components from settlements associated with Fulani groups. By now, international media would be flooded with headlines screaming “genocide.” Foreign NGOs would issue emergency alerts. U.S. lawmakers would hold hearings. Social media activists would demand sanctions on Nigeria. Naked women and youths would occupy streets in Jos. Protesters would occupy the streets of Abuja, Washington and London. Religious organisations would organise prayer marches and global petitions. Every recovered rifle would become proof of an alleged grand conspiracy to wipe out Christians.

But reality can be inconvenient. Troops of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) raided illegal arms manufacturing sites in Vom, Jos South LGA, and arrested five suspects linked to Berom militia networks. Recovered from the factories were fabricated AK-47 rifles, weapon skeletons, revolver components, magazines, welding machines and industrial tools used for weapon production. This was not a rumour. This was not social media speculation. These were physical weapons recovered by troops during a live operation.

Yet the silence has been deafening. No outrage from the usual activists. No emergency press conferences. No sermons condemning the proliferation of illegal arms within Plateau communities. No viral hashtags. No candlelight protests. No foreign NGO reports warning about ethnic militias manufacturing weapons. The same voices that quickly amplify every allegation against Fulani groups suddenly developed selective blindness.

This is the uncomfortable truth many do not want discussed openly: Plateau’s crisis is no longer a simplistic black-and-white story of innocent victims versus faceless attackers. Armed militias exist on multiple sides of the conflict. Weapons are being manufactured locally. Revenge attacks are organised. Narratives are weaponised. Communities arm themselves while simultaneously presenting themselves exclusively as helpless victims before the national and international audience.

And that is exactly why the crisis has persisted for decades. The dangerous part is not merely the weapons themselves. The dangerous part is the ecosystem protecting the narrative. An ecosystem where facts are filtered through ethnicity and religion before they are accepted. An ecosystem where the deaths of some victims generate global outrage while the deaths of others barely earn a mention. An ecosystem where propaganda travels faster than truth.

Over the past months, security operations in Plateau have exposed repeated evidence of armed local militias, reprisal cells, illegal weapon possession, and coordinated attacks hidden beneath carefully crafted emotional narratives. Troops have recovered weapons from local youths. Active shooters were seen in viral videos previously circulated as evidence of “attacks.” Security personnel have repeatedly intervened to stop reprisals between communities. Yet these realities rarely make international reports because they complicate the preferred storyline.

Even more troubling is the growing industry around Plateau’s conflict. Some foreign advocacy groups and political actors appear more interested in preserving the image of endless persecution than supporting genuine reconciliation. Fear sells. Victimhood attracts funding. Outrage generates influence. Nuanced truth does not.

This does not excuse criminality from any group. Fulani militias have carried out deadly attacks. Civilians across ethnic and religious lines have suffered enormously. But honesty demands acknowledging that armed violence in Plateau has evolved into a multidimensional conflict involving reprisals, militia mobilisation, illegal arms proliferation, criminal opportunism and deep-rooted communal distrust.

Peace cannot emerge where truth is rationed.

The discovery of three illegal arms factories in three weeks should force difficult conversations. Who is funding these operations? Who supplies the materials? Who protects the operators? How many more exist across the state? And why do some community leaders remain silent whenever these discoveries contradict the narrative they have spent years exporting abroad?

Until Plateau confronts all armed actors equally without ethnic favoritism, religious sentiment, or propaganda, the killings will continue, the reprisals will continue, and the ordinary people caught in the middle will continue paying the price.

Allow him to waste his time. How is it your worry?

It's only a neophyte in politics that will think Obi has a chance against someone like Atiku..
Northerners no really send Igbos.. Obi should stop wasting his time thinking he can get to Aso rock.

Since you believe this claim, you should also believe every other claims by MNK. You cannot cherry pick.
