Politics / Re: 2023 Election: Who Will Be The Running Mate To Atiku Abubakar? by Skie(m): 1:45am On May 29, 2022
OBUKSBAYELSA:


Senator Douye Diri fits the bill. The reason being that Douye Diri comes from an ethnic group indeed the single largest group in the South South (ijaw) which are found in Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta and Edo State and found in Ondo State.
No ethnic nationality possess that electoral strength and they come to vote.



We don't have Ijaws in Akwa Ibom. Last i checked, Andonis are not Ijaws. Besides the Andoni people occupy just half of one LGA in Akwa Ibom.

I still don't understand why Dave Umahi ran to the APC. He would have been the best optoon from the South East (after Peter Obi).

Some people just take actions without thinking.

ecoco2014:
One of these 3:
-Emmanuel Udom
-Douye Diri
-Okezie Ikpeazu

What do you think?

For me Wike will be the best choice. He won't sit as VP and take rubbish. He will most certainly speak out.

Udom Emmanuel on the other hand will just act like Mickey Mouse even if the nation is in flames.

He can make Udom Emmanuel Min of Finance if he wins the general election.

***WHAT NEXT FOR THE EAGLES***
(continued)


GOALKEEPING
If we can't find an excellent goalkeeper for the super eagles, it's not all doom and gloom. Ajax have played most of their matches this season with Stekelenburg and Pramveer who are both above 30 and past their prime. That's because both of them are comfortable with the ball at their feet. So let's look for ball-playing goalkeepers for the Eagles and by extension ball-playing defenders so we can play out of the back in the near future.


CRUCIAL HOME GAMES
The Eagles need a fortress for perdecuting extremely crucial home matches. In 2005, Ibrahim Galadima took a very crucial match against Angola to Kano. We drew that match and lost control of the group to Angola. We have done the same again and we may likely repeat this mistake in future.


LET'S GET INVOLVED
For us to turn football around in this country, many of us on this thread need to leave social media and get involved in the various state FAs. That's how we will get into NFF where we can really influence policies and decisions. Our leagues will get better and our national teams will once again draw the attention of the world.



ADDENDUM
Away from the Super Eagles, I think we should jettison the twenty team league with one LMC for 2 groups of 12 teams with 2 separate LMCs. We can then have a super 6 or 8 to determine the champion. This will bring competition into the system with one LMC trying to out do the other. We can even do something similar for the NWFL.




Pls note, the above assertions are my personal opinions. Please feel free to discuss and criticise constructively. Thanks for taking time to read this write-up.

***WHAT NEXT FOR THE EAGLES***

It is no longer news that the Super Eagles of Nigeria were knocked out by Ghana on Tuesday, 29th of March at the MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja. It is also regrettable that a life was lost in the violence that ensued following the final whistle. However, we need to pick ourselves up and move on.



AFCON 2023 IS COMING
Qualifiers will likely begin in September. Let's appoint a technical Adviser (Foreign or indigenous) who will use the summer break to work with the players and finetune tactics ahead of September.


FOOTBALL IDEOLOGY
We need to come up with a football ideology or philosophy that will take us to a much higher level and encourage most of the coaches in the country to adopt same ideology.


FORGET ABOUT WINGPLAY
Nigerians love wing play and possession Football. However we don't have gifted midfielders like Xavi, Iniesta or De Bruyne and neither do we have excellent wingers like Ribery or Leroy Sane. I would love to recommend Klopp's gen-gen press especially the 4231 he used at Dortmund.



TIME TO APPLY PRESSURE
Pressing be it the high-press or gengen press or even the mid-block press has come to stay in Football. The best footballing clubs play with all or atleast one form of Pressing. During the last Afcon, Senegal incorporated a lot of Pressing enroute winning the trophy. We should do same. Luckily for us we have players like Osimhen, Onyeka, Aribo who can apply  pressure when called upon to do so.

If I may ask, do you think Wike is a good, competent leader to become Nigeria's President?

I believe Gov Wike is much more competent than PMB. He's a go getter. Besides, he's more trustworthy than Atiku.

Car Talk / Re: PLEASE HELP: Conversion From Automatic To Manual Transmission. by Skie(m): 7:46pm On May 11, 2021
[/color][color=#006600]
DMechy:


Is it advisable?
No
Is It Possible?
Yes

Why i wouldn't advice it, is the propensity of not doing it right.

Putting a manual transmission is no biggy, as long as it fits. But you are going to loose a lot functionality if not done right.

You should say goodbye to the ABS as the CAN com that feeds the ABS module from the transmission will be missing, and for a transport vehicle where safety should be core, that's not cool.

You will spend more if done right, than when you replace with auto

You said the Sienna is Nigerian used, i also want to assume the current transmission is bad, and that's why you are considering putting a manual tranny.

Replace with the Auto, if well maintained, you have nothing to fear.

Thanks for taking time to contribute.

Actually, I have 2 options as it were:

1) Buy a Tokumbo auto tranny, transport it down to Uyo and have it fixed. That will cost more than 400k. Being Tokumbo, it might come with issues especially since I know next to nothing about the quality of trannys, and I won't be the one buying it.

2) Have it converted to manual. The guy who wants to handle the conversion wants to charge 300k. Problem is, I don't know anyone who has done it successfully on a Toyota Sienna. (I know of one done successfully on a BMW).

So that's the dilemma facing me.

Meet a good mechanic pls, bkos these changes comes with great disadvantages if done wrong. Equally what's wrong with your auto, it should still serve in terms of fuel consumption.

Or it's there a special reason for this change?

Thanks for your contribution. I'm told that it's better to use manual transmission for commercial driving.
The Auto transmission is very faulty.

Hi good morning nairalanders please I need your help I don't really know how to make friend with a girl for the first time. When I approach them all they do is to turn me down telling me that am rude even if I walk to a girl to talk to her in the end she will give me fake number help a friend I really need the first sweet talk statement that will make them laugh and get along with the conversation thanks
[color=#006600][/color]


Start with a smile. If she returns the smile, then you can go ahead and strike a conversation with her.
If you don't know how to smile, you should practice infront of your mirror.

Get to know her name, department, faculty and where they usually hold lectures.

Do not ask for her number on the first day, she won't give it to you. Instead arrange another meeting.

Don't take her to an expensive joint or eatery for the second meeting. If you do, she'll begin to see you as a mugu.

Get to know her better and then ask for her number.

If you are looking for a girl friend, do not be in a hurry to get one. Relate with ladies and build self confidence as well. As you grow in the game, you will find the right lady!

When trying it out, this 1.6 will not work all the time. VFL is set up to be unpredictable.
Probably, the only way to succeed is to think like the computer, get to understand that the computer is set up against you.
