Breaks in such big buses dont operate on a hydrulic whatever. it operates on air system. Now, if the compressor of the bus begins to malfunction, then their could be a problem with the break. You talk about hydrulic when you want to talk about clutch system in some heavy duty vehicle

3ace: Although LAGBUS currently lacks good maintenance culture, that might not be the reason for the brake failure. Sudden brake
failure in well maintained cars is possible too. The only blame I may apportion to the driver is that he probably must have been feeling the symptoms but still decided to take the risk although there may not be warning signs in some cases. Brakes operate on a hydraulic system; for the system to work effectively there must be fluid in the hydraulic pipes. If the fluid
starts to leak from the system the brake
pedal will feel 'softer' and will often travel
further when pressed. Only God knows whether there were initial signs in this case or it just happened suddenly.

Akwarandu Izuchukwu Chinenyeze Akwarandu, a final year student in the Department of English and Literary Studies, Imo state University, Owerri writes an open letter to the president in respect of the on-going ASUU strike


Mr. President,
I write this letter with tears and in consideration of the fact that you are a listening president. I will not fail to commend you on your transformation agenda and just like you will always say, “we may not be where we are going now, but we will surely get there”.
You have given Nigeria a breath of fresh air, just like you promised during your campaign. Yes! the demands are high, but it will be an ungrateful act if I fail to acknowledge your successes especially in sustaining our growing democracy even when the pressure is obviously stacked too high on you. I also wish to give you credit for the transformation going on in our railway, power, health, Finance,Oil and Agricultural sectors.
Most of these are aimed at creating employment for the youth and I applaud you on behalf of Imo state University Students and Nigerian Students at large.
On a special note, you may wonder why I did not mention the Education sector while commending your tremendous achievements. This is because the Education sector which is meant and supposed to receive a top priority attention is now handled in a third class manner. Mr. President, this is without doubt not good for the future of this great nation.
Like Achebe said, “every generation must have something different to offer”. Bear it in mind Mr. President that It will always be on record that it was during your tenure as a President that Nigerian Students studying in their homeland universities spent so many months at home because their government failed to revitalise their “past” and give “hope” to their “hopeless” future.
Mr. President, I wish to let you know that Nigerian students can storm Abuja and make the whole FCT riotous and ungovernable for weeks. But these are measures we do not want to adopt because we still have hope and trust in your government. Some of us are dying due to one problem or the other which could have been averted if students were in school.
Mr. President, as a leader who derived from the academia, you are undoubtedly conversant with the saying that “an idle mind is a devils workshop”. It would seem this, unfortunately, is what applies to Nigerian students now. This is because, the devil has not only opened a workshop in them, but also a shopping center and a very big construction company where if something is not done to save, the nation may be put in a state of dilemma very soon.
The Academic staff union of universities have tried and they are not making any new demand. It is important to note that you inherited this agreement, but I also know that you were not far from the federal executive council when it was reached. I plead with you as a true Nigerian citizen to see to ASUU’s demand and allow us go back to school.
Others have given you ultimatum, but I don’t want to. This is because I know that in less than “two weeks” you will act on this issue and we will rejoice. Whereby you fail to do so Mr. President, I will have no option than to take the above mentioned “two weeks” as my dear ultimatum.
I also know that this letter will not get to you if Abati or Okupe sees it before you, but I pray they don’t see it before you because is very important to me. Although those people are your aides, I advise you to be very careful and remember that everybody in Nigeria can not be your enemy because of “OkuBati” syndrome.
I will not forget to appreciate you for sacking the minister of youth because it was only through his sack that I noticed he existed. There are still others that deserve to be fired but I am not writing to tell you about them. If that is why wrote, I would have asked you to sack the Education minister, I would have also asked you to sack minister for state for Education and some other ones whom you know better than I do. But that is not why am writing.
Am writing to plead with you to end this strike as it does no student any good.
I pray that the good Lord guide and guard you and also give you the strength to lead this nation and meet up to ASUU’s demand.
Long Live Nigerian Students
Long Live Mr. President
Long Live Fed. Republic of Nigeria
Aluta Continua…

bunchyproject: Property investment experts agree that one of the biggest challenges facing landlords today is finding the ideal tenant that will treat your property with respect. Troublesome tenants can cost you thousands of money. Worse still, you will never have peace of mind with these tenants living on your property.

Here is a list of the six kinds of troublesome tenants:

1. Destructive Tenants

Destructive tenants are the worst kind of all. These tenants may have out of control kids, wild pets and may have extended family members that stay permanently with them. In short, these tenants can destroy large parts of your property and in the end you may find yourself paying for all the repairs just to kick them off the premise.

The best way to avoid these tenants is to properly screen them. Make sure you call their previous landlords and ask specific questions about how they treated the premise.

2. Noisy Tenants

Noisy tenants can be really frustrating. You will find that the neighbors will not appreciate loud arguments, parties on weekdays and blasting music, so don’t be surprise if you receive complaints. It is hard to screen for these kinds of tenants, but be sure to ask the previous landlords if there were any noise complaints from the applicant’s neighbors.

3. The Pet Lover

We all love animals, but they are just too messy to keep in an apartment. Some tenants can’t resist bringing pets onto the premise, even if there is a strict prohibition on doing so. If you find that you are receiving complaints about bad smells or loud barking noises, chances are your tenant is breaking the rules. A simple warning should suffice, but if they continue to break regulations consider having them removed.

4. The Tenant with Money Troubles

The main responsibility for tenants is to pay rent on time. If you find that a certain tenant is consistently late for payment, then you may have a problem on your hands. The best way to avoid this type of tenant, according to property investment advice is to conduct a background credit check on your potential tenants. A poor credit history can be a sign of money troubles.

5. The Tenant with a Huge Extended Family

When there are more people living on your premise, the home is subjected to greater amounts of wear and tear. Make sure you place a clause in your contract limiting the number of people allowed to stay in the home and conduct scheduled visits regularly.

6. The Dishonest Tenant

A dishonest tenant is a nightmare for any landlord. The dishonest tenant will lie about the state of the property when he moved in and will lie in order to avoid paying for any repairs. This can end up costing you thousands of dollars. To avoid this troublesome tenant, you must be extra vigilant in the screening process.

Also make detailed notes on the state of the property at the beginning of the leasing agreement and make sure you have photographic evidence.

With this article in hand you will be able to avoid those troublesome tenants. Good luck! Source:http://blog.dpn.com.au/troublesome-tenants-avoid/

SO SAD

30-year-old Adekunle Adesanya had high hopes for his future the day he was employed as a factory worker at Dangote Cement in Ibese, Ogun State.

The secondary school certificate holder had dabbled into hip hop music and hoped to take it to the next level.

But first, he needed a job to keep body and soul together as he worked to get recognition in the music world.

“I applied for the job with Dangote Cement as a divertor machine operator because I could not find something better. I had no means to go further in my education but I did not lose hope of going for higher education in the future,”Adesanya told our correspondent.

The Ijebu-Ode indigene was employed at the factory on February 10, 2012.

He told our correspondent that though he was employed as a casual worker at the factory, the authorities told those in his set they would soon be incorporated as full staff. This, he said, was why he accepted the N26,000 per month salary.

But barely one month into his employment, Adesanya would regret ever setting foot in the company.

He was on night duty on March 20, 2012. The young man went to work without an inkling of the calamity that was about to befall him, the calamity that turned his life upside-down. That day, he went to work, looking forward to a successful day at work.

“I was on night duty that day. Night duty starts at 6pm and ends at 7am the following morning.

“I was on the shift at the divertor machine. My responsibility was to see that finished cement bags pass through the conveyor belt unhindered. I was also responsible for sorting out any bags that gets caught in the machine and rearrange it for onward conveyance through the belt,” Adesanya said.

He had done this same job hundreds of times, he knew what he was doing, he explained. But that day, he would lose his arm to the same machine.

The young man claimed that he did not just lose his arm to the machine, he nearly lost his life because of the factory management’s negligence.

Adesanya said, “Anytime a bag is caught between the belt, I am expected to stop the divertor machine in order to properly rearrange the bags. But that night as I stopped to rearrange some bags of cement that were stuck, the machine suddenly kicked back to life and I had to quickly jump off it.

“When this happened, I went down to the control room to report the incident so they could rectify the problem with the machine. But I was told to go back and continue using the machine because that was the way they had been using it for a while.”

He claimed the incident happened three times and he complained to the factory’s control room at each time.

Adesanya said he would have been sacked on the spot if he refused to continue working on the machine. He did not want to lose the only job he had at the time, he said.

The now physically handicapped young man explained, “After the third incident, I had to go to the technician on duty to express my anxiety about the situation and the problem with the machine.

“He too said I should go back to work and try and manage it well. When I went back to the machine, I met one Mr. Joseph, who supervises the machine. He complained that I was not at my duty post but I explained the situation to him.

“The man stayed with me to rearrange the bags because at this point, many of them had become stuck on the belt. But while we were on the machine, the same thing happened. The machine turned on by itself. I quickly jumped off but the checker was caught between the railings and I had to pull the cable out to stop the machine.”

Adesanya did not stop working on the machine because he said he feared being fired.

He did not want to lose his job in an environment where there are probably 100 others waiting to fill that same position.

He said around 4am, he stood on the edge of the machine, to remove some bags that had been stuck again.

“The machine came on in an instant. The belt caught my feet and I fell down between the belts. The belts caught my right arm and chew it off from the shoulder. Nobody was there to help me but I managed to pull myself out and called for help.

“I lay in a pool of blood as other employees who heeded my call could do nothing. There was no medical staffer on duty.”

Adesanya said he was later taken to a clinic around 5am and was given treatment.

He explained that some management staff of the factory, in company with one Mr. Malik, whom they referred to as the Deputy Managing Director, came to visit him in the hospital and promised some compensation and prosthetics.

Adesanya’s voice thickened with emotion. Tears he had held back without success ran down his cheeks as he continued.

He told Saturday PUNCH, “I stayed in different hospitals for about six months until I was discharged. The company paid the hospital bills. But this is one year after the incident, the company has not fulfilled any of its promises.

“I cannot go on with my life like this. I have become a disabled man because of that company’s negligence. The least they should do is to make life a little easier for me by compensating me and providing me with prosthetics.

“Am a tenacious young man with great dreams but this incident has set me back. What can I do without my arm? Where do I start? The management of Dangote Cement has turned a deaf ear to my cry.”

Adesanya’s lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, has demanded N50m compensation on his behalf.

A letter addressed to the company by Falana stated in part, “It is so pathetic and disheartening for your client to have abandoned our client since the tragic accident caused by your client’s negligence.

“As our client do not intend to sleep over his right as contained under the relevant acts governing matters of this nature,we have our client’s instruction to demand and hereby demand that the sum of N50,000,000. (fifty million naira) be paid to our client as compensation.”

When the company did not pay, the lawyer filed a suit against it at the Abeokuta High Court.

When our correspondent contacted the Group Head, Corporate Communications, Dangote Group, Mr. Anthony Chiejina, he said the company had not abandoned the Adesanya as he claimed.

“The company has not stopped his salary for more than a year since the incident happened. We have also being taking care of his hospital bills.

“At the moment, we are making arrangements to get him prosthetic arm from either South Africa or the US.”

Adesanya later confirmed to Saturday PUNCH that the company had indeed been paying him monthly.

“Yes, it is true that they have been paying my salary since the accident occurred. I get paid every two weeks because that’s how the company pays its staff,” he told our correspondent over the phone.
