APC supporters and apologists talk before they think because of blind support and overzealous subjective support for bad governance.
She is only apologizing because her music career will nosedive, not because she has remorse for misyarning.

When Peter Obi files a suit in nasarawa against you and friends, you will start complaining that he cannot take criticism. You won't rein in your stpdity now.
Olofofo247ng:
This reminds me of the story of the proverbial child who vowed to use the pigeon's head for lunch when he grows up. The head of the pigeon will not allow the child to grow up to carry out his threat. Don't you think that the destinies of the people who will benefit from the project will not allow Peter Obi to smell the position?

Our only saving grace in this country is that God used Anambra people to test the suffering that Peter Obi would have subjected Nigerians to 😭🙏...

Anambra residents saw the faded road markings, the abandoned projects, and the choked drains. We all know that Peter Obi is a master of media optics, not governance. Imagine that on a national scale.

Car Talk › Re: My Car's Transmission Hesitates To Move For About 5 Seconds Every Morning by potent5(m): 12:31pm On May 19
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

Precision • Transparency • Excellence

Events › Re: Ladipo Traders Give Man Huge Cash After His Wife Give Birth To Twins by potent5(m): 10:47pm On May 15
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 .
judosky150:
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.

Politics › Re: Northern Politicians Afraid Of Tinubu's Second Term Restructuring. by potent5(m): 7:27am On May 13
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.
