What happens if you fuel a car without first turning off the engine?

Almost every single time - nothing. You fill up your car with gasoline, hang up the hose, put your gas cap on and drive away.

But, there is always that one time for that one guy or gal when the car goes up in flames because a spark, whether from the exhaust or not, gets to the vapors of the gasoline and starts a fire.

Since it doesn’t cost you anything to shut off your car and start it again, just do it. It’s worth that extra .0001% of safety.

On top of that, you won’t get your car jacked because you left the keys in the ignition with the car running.

Getting your car jacked by leaving it running at the gas pump is more likely than the gas starting on fire, but you can save yourself the trouble of both by turning the car off and taking the keys with you.

That's how brilliant brains should be treated in an organized society. They've drained this brain and she'll be so loyal to the host and benevolent society.

New Zealand: Ours is a Nation of Hypocrites and Politically Correct Bunch. By J S. Igah

In Nigeria, the news of killings and death is now a new normal. It just flashes and everyone forgets the next minute and move on. Nothing decisive is done to forestall re-occurrence and perpetrators are always at large “unknown gunmen”

I observed with consternation and trepidation how we joined the fray to dramatize the condemnation of the terror attack in New Zealand. Agreed, what happened in New Zealand is condemnable and as members of one shared humanity, we generally are affected by such occurrences, but what beats my imagination is that terrorists and other allied forms of killings in Nigeria occurs on a frequent quotient and we don’t seem to bother or care about the plight of the victims. We just hear it and move on. No candle lights, little or no condemnation, no genuine concerns. It is just normal.

From Zamfara to Kajuru, Jos to Benue and worst still the Northeast of the country, we hear of horrific killings daily and yet, the condemnation is feeble if any both from the governments and citizens alike. The Nigerian media is a major culprit too. They just report on the peripheral level and leave out the devastation and its attendant humanitarian consequences. It is just as if the system has been wired thus. Everyone just move on. You won’t blame them. My fellow journalists’ these days prefer juicy beats where the envelopes are handy.

My apprehension is that something is really wide of the mark with us as a nation, if we just move on like that in the face of the heinous killings on the home front but tend to join in laud and foolhardy solidarity when it happens elsewhere. It is a travesty because charity they say begins at home.

New Zealand has strong legislation and law enforcement capacity as exemplified in the way and manner the country’s security handled the matter and suspects are already singing in the courts. The government also responded very strongly and commendably too. However, in my country of charlatans and pretenders, everything is seen more from a political lens.

Within the week, there has been series of attacks in Zamfara. Specifically, in Shinkafi, Anka, Zurmi and Gusau. There is no formal condemnation or recognition. No deployments. From what I gathered, the people are already losing hope on the home front and yet we concern ourselves more with New Zealand, the social media was rife with posts from hypocritical army of cheerleaders and these same performers fail to condemn or even show any genuine concern for the victims of killings in Zamfara, Kajuru and not to even mention the victims of the atrocities in the northeast of the country.

Here, everyone is a hypocrite. Politicians are charlatans, journalists are being politically correct, analysts and critics are all pretenders. Ours is a nation of dissemblers and fakes.

If you have a billionaire mind-set, please don't travel. It's easier to "blow" here. There it's just an average life.

Comprehension eludes you.

bender79:
British politicians celebrate political victories even though they can't even steal one pound. So what they hell are you saying?

Why celebrate like you just won a contract. Oh, forgot winning an election in Nigeria naturally lifts you above the poverty line. Smh for this country. Make elective posts unattractive and watch how 5things change

Bros you don type this thing put for somewhere before?

I'm so much in love with this man. Federal might and Yahaya bello played into his hands in the name of public ridicule and humiliation. But as a smart and intelligent Man, he grab and took it to his advantage. 70% of the votes he garnered were sympathy votes. I'm from his district and I know what I'm saying. He beat smart in 7/7 local government that make up Kogi west senatorial district. Good people of Kabba, oworo, ijumu, isanlu etc perceived that Smart Adeyemi was being used as a willing tool by the Governor to humiliate meleye. But they waited to the right time to revolt and return the favour to Dino. Same fate await Yahaya bello by Nov this during the Governorship election. It would be kogi west, kogi East against kogi central. This is about 75% percent population against just a paltry 25%. PDP would field someone from Igala land which is kogi east and use okun man as deputy which is kogi west. Coupled with the lackluster performance of Yahaya bello in governance, it will surely be a work over for PDP by November this year. Igala land population determine the election in kogi state. They constitute about 50-55% population of the entire state. Okun is about 20% same as Ebira where Yahaya comes from. Other minor tribes could be around 5%. But I see APC denying Yahaya bello ticket for second term. They may likely go to Igala land to pick someone, else it would a work over for PDP.

Rubbish election. I paid for my peace of mind. I called my sister, asked her how much INEC was gonna pay. I transferred the cash to her. Case closed. Stay at your PPA, bolt your doors and follow election palava on twitter.

Car not road worthy. You pay fine or forfeit. Road not worthy for use, spoils car. You pay to Kazeems. Chai... We've been scammed for long

Environment. There's no safe air to breathe in in Lagos. Plant more trees

Our oil sector is sold every four years to the government that gets elected at the federal level.

If you've seen a loved one SUFFER in pains, you will agree with the lawyer on euthanasia. Some pains are just unbearable. It hurts the terminally sick know and the family.

I wish they can audit donations to all these mega church projects. Ozark comes to my mind.

Op. Do you know those rail tracks you see are the ones removed from old gauge line? Those are high quality metals that can still be used when melted. If you are a regular rail traveller, you would have seen it at almost all rail stations in the country. I agree we don't have maintenance culture, but please make informed posts next time. Thanks. I'm not a railway worker, I'm just a fan and frequent rail traveller .

Murders are never solved in this country. Even the murder of the Bola Ige, the former Attorney General of the Federation remains unsolved till date. It is easier to kill in Nigeria than steal a phone.

Afamed:
Mesujamba didn't ask Buhari to investigate the death of over 30 people that were killed by the Robbers but asked the President to investigate why the Robber died. Amazing country.

He did. Stop been hypocritical. I'm not a fan of his but the truth must be told.

Lankybaby:
Biko give me a male and female

Where are you?

People really have mind o. To kill the rabbits I've been rearing for a while na wahala. They are almost 40 now and I can't imagine slaughtering those beautiful animals talk more of human being like me. There's s so much evil in this world mehn

It's even worse than that now.

Hmmmm

Next2Bezee:
When others in Kaduna were killed by the terror, did the Kaduna state government put curfews in place to mourn them? Did they mourn them at all?

They should place a 24-hour curfew on Aso Rock until 2019 so that we can we can recover what is left of our country before 2019's Atikulation.

Ba yido

kehinde1588:
Have been victimized too?

kehinde1588:
Is that short lil bit fat o...He is name is Mahmud

I know him. I also know one guy with bad leg. His name is Omisore. That A-Division is something else. I know them

kehinde1588:
Had similar experience at the same A division. I was arrested, brutalized and locked up for the crime I didn't commit by some officers named Eze and Mahmud.
When you are in their station, they always believe they have absolute power to do and undo. They believe they can infringe your fundamental human right without any adverse consequence.
Until you become the victim of police brutality you will realize police is not your friend.

Is it that short lil bit fat guy called Mahmud or Seko by his colleagues?
