iswallker:
Airless won't fit on 30 tonne trucks just yet

Vukcanizers still have work to do

And most folks don't read _the article says air filled tyres will always have a place

Besides this technology is in the testing stage and dealing with issues of drag because of more surface area contact with road and noise resulting from it

Still testing

Read further my guy.
The airless tyre technology is debuting in articulated and industrial vehicles where liability is less dramatic.... grin

And air filled tyre buffs are living on borrowed time. The VHS/Kodak reality will soon hit them.

Have been reading about this for a few weeks now. Surprised this technology has gone unoticed for the years in the works.

My reservations concern driving in filthy floods and the rubbish that can get trapped in the lattices, invariably destroying them. Surely they need very hardy materials for that part.

Go and get your PVC, go and get your PVC they shout and threaten then they bring people you have to close your eyes, ears and nose to consider voting, standing in the queue to empower those that are utterly repulsive but which the failed structure had presented.

Just wait for the APC to announce theirs and many will be gagging and throwing up.... but they must bear the stench of failure before the meal is even served.

Politics › Re: Buhari Not In Support Of Muslim-Muslim Ticket For APC - Daily Independent by Reference(m): 7:10pm On Jun 14, 2022

alsudan:
Abiola got 40 percent votes in the SE and 60 percent votes in the SS and NC with a Muslim Muslim Ticket in 1993.

But that’s the difference, 1993 is not 2023. Thiefnibu will get 3 percent votes in the SE, 10 percent in the SS, 25 percent in the NC if he ever tries it.

Head or tail, Tinubu will lose out.

If he selects a Muslim, Christian will show him pepper and if he selects a Christian, the Muslims will vote for their pikin Atiku.

Man is paying for helping foist the most divisive President in Nigeria’s history.

This is the problem with Nigerians in general and their leaders in particular, the lack of foresight, the lack of visionaries.
You knew you wanted to become President as a 'southern muslim' under the banner of a party with a strong northern base. This conundrum was not anticipated when the government you helped foist took to sectionalism, nepotism and tribalism like a duck to water, raising all sorts of ethno-religious dust along the southern coast and Christian hinterland.

With that every hope of getting Nigerians to ignore ethno-religious sentiments when it now became his turn went up in smoke.
Mr. Tinubu should have been the lightning rod for this government these past 7 years, helping it put out fires all over the middle-belt, south-east and parts of the south-west the extremists in it were stoking.

But they say hindsight is 20/20 and the desperation amongst his disciples in trying to resurrect the long dead solidarity across tribe and tongue of the botched MKO Abiola presidential bid is lost on the fact that all Nigerians had a common enemy then, today that enemy is within, amongst and in their faces. How they expect solidarity when ethno-religious persecution and outright cleansing persists under the watch of his benefactor remains a mystery.

If Mr. Tinubu eventually makes his way to Aso Rock I hope he will take a cue and start preparing for the regime after his and the Nigeria of the future where as they claim 'performance not ethnicity or religion' should matter. In truth the average Nigerian deep down recognises that performance should be the primary consideration but until the divisive demons of disunity are exorcised and banished permanently, this will remain a pipe dream.

If Mr. Tinubu gets there this should be his primary assignment. But if he tows the line of this government and continues in wanton exclusion as he has done for two decades in Lagos, Nigeria will face an even bigger problem by the time his regime is ended and performance will never be the criteria is establishing leadership at the highest levels.

Word for the wise. We did not get to this sorry state by mistake. Muslim-muslim or Christian-christian is a heat sink caused by this regime. Mr. Tinubu's supporters must come to accept that and stop blaming everyone else.

Basicend:
The probs with all these intellectuals like Maghalu, Osibanjo, Adeshina of AFDB, Pat Utomi, and even Omoyele Sowowe and Peter Obi is that the Nigerian political structure is very rugged and does not understand Grammer, analysis and oratory.

Look, may be in the US and the West they will have to chance to expound their ideas and gain public support.

Look, a Tinubu and Atiku will go to the core roots and corners of cities, towns and villages and give the raw cash.

Since there is deep darkness and hunger. . Those ones will easily sell out. Even the deligates and election officers will be swept by these forces.

And consequently when the bad candidature they sire delivers disastrous governance they will be at the sharper end of the stick.
So let the cycle of despondency continue.

Heads or tails Nigeria loses.
Does any sensible Nigerian feels from the bottom of his heart that amongst 200 million Nigerians these four being speculated are the best the country can offer and that two out of them can sort out the mess we are in within four short years.... haba Nigerians wake up.

Folks, change the game not the players, restructure Nigeria now.

Basketball is not meant for dwarfs, neither is chess for dunces.
If Nigerians want to get the best players in the democratic game, they must insist on CHANGING THE RULES OF THE GAME or CHANGING THE GAME itself.... like raising the bar/ring so that only political giants can play.
Right now our country is no better than a five aside monkey post pitch where retards and invalids can lay claim.

bigcasava1:
Moghalu that cannot win in his own polling unit!

Whenever I hear such nonsense I just wonder.

Is it about a man not being able to 'win' or the citizens not being able to spot quality and identifying with it.

Because this remains the only reason why I will not go near a PVC a n the near future.

Nigerians just do not know what qualitative leadership is all about and as 'child citizens' they must be force fed the bitter herbs of life.

Why is it that election after election Nigerians are presented with candidates with question marks and danger signs clearly visible yet we gladly rush to the polls, fight each other over people we know will fail to deliver in government due to these lapses. But will never identify with those we are apt to mock with the all to familiar, 'he cannot win a single polling booth', what sort of idiocy is that?

If a madam goes to the market and cannot identify quality foodstuff to buy but brings home dregs that lands her family in hospital time and again is it the fault of the market or the madam.

We better grow up from being juvenile citizens to sitting down to collectively agree on the set criteria for qualitative leadership in Nigeria aka restructuring before we are completely lost to despondency.

https://twitter.com/fkeyamo/status/1536393207998717953?t=b36_cgSWFugWSq-FnSPOeg&s=19[/quote]Indeed. Because failure in Nigeria has little consequence, because Nigerians do not know how to work the democracy they make so much noise about but that has made their lives more miserable year after year.

That is why you can boldly call them to identify with a failed party in government when they should be puking at the idea and running for their lives as is done in saner climes.

Just sorry for Nigeria if failure is rewarded and the APC returns instead of cooling off in the trenches of political opposition for a season. It will speak loud and clear for all time that Nigerians are not ready for survival thoughtless of advancement.

By mere utterances and publications, they have already done that. It is no less than playing partisan politics during primaries.

Suffice to say you can't know their roles in party primaries because what was not publicized does not unilaterally mean it never happened.

Well, what happens underground stays underground. No proof.
Anyway I'm not interested the least in all these bric-bats.
As far as I am concerned there is no Presidential candidate until I begin to hear how the country is to be sorted out.
I am the last person for meaningless ego tripping.

But Afenifere or the ACN were not involved in the emergence of Tinubu or Atiku resp and neither should they be involved in partisan politics.

The candidates of the West withdrew and delegated to Tinubu and Tambuwal of the North did same for Atiku's win. The 'Eastern' candidates on their part in both parties stuck to the end and lost as individuals. What is so hard for Umahi to understand in that.

The candidates should blame themselves.

There is NO WAY on earth a real Christian can be approved by men to rule over them on a bright and sunny day.... no matter the consequences.
For God to choose out of His disciples to lead the world is lending to a system that He has no control over.
For how can He be building two dipolar kingdoms on earth at the same time.
So the few times He lends men to be leaders in the world will be for the serious reasons that they are in dire need, in serious danger and they cry out to God for help.... and the great purpose will be to bring them out of whatever system wrecked their lives in the first place.

What happened to the ranking Christians in the APC and the PDP. One quit to avoid bribery, the other offered his widows mite and came a cropper.... such is the lot of real Christians who try to force their way into secular activities, they often, certainly fall flat.

However the way God brings His people into serving humanity on the other hand has always been out of necessity, for instance, when the people have suffered enormously over a protracted period of time or endured great calamity or are in great peril that their souls are shredded and open to accepting His ways and receiving His people.... and from all indications Nigerians are not there yet, our matter is still on the stove, gradually boiling...

When Nigeria is ready to receive a Christian in power it will be by 'CONSENSUS'.

I rather think it is the Kaduna governor that is heating up the polity and attempting to destabilise Nigeria for pecuniary political gain.
Anyway I am not bothered for heads or tails the nation still loses out in this unfortunate democratic experiment.

Once again without restructuring we will continue to squabble with these foundational matters and never get to building the country of our dreams. Other nations that gained independence same time have 'roofed' their countries, others have furnished theirs and moved in, while we are still in the damp mud battling to lay a foundation that sinks with every attempt.

Always seek to de-escalate, then flee if you can't. Just buy time to survive.
Survival should be the first instinct of every human being under assault, then when survival is guaranteed the fight back can begin.
