9icetoo: I think you are wrong here. The impurity in crude oil is not lead. There are a lot of impurities in crude oil from sulphur to water and others. A lot goes on during refining than just heating up the crude and trapping the different fractions. Certain compounds and processes go into the fuel blends to give you the desired octane rating. Our refineries are a bit behind in this process so our fuel is not up to scratch and we do not have any body that enforces the quality of petrol sold here. That is why we see different colors of petrol at the station and experience different MPGs all the time.

Anything that isn't wanted in a mixture/compond is an impurity. Leaving lead in fuel decreases d octane content and makes d fuel burn faster than unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel is a high octane fuel which burns slower and is used primarily in high capacity petrol engines eg Aluminium block engines found in benz S-series or AMGs. The higher octane fuels sometimes don't work on some engines cos they supply 2 much oxygen 4 it 2 operate optimally. Perhaps this is why honda has these issues. I don't think though that Acura will have have this problem cos they have high performance engines.

Eyop: I still do not agree with your post even though i understand what you mean. It's after refining that you get fuel and who are the refiners of the product in Nigeria for export? You previous post stated that USA imports fuel from us which is wrong that's why i mentioned Crude oil. What Americans and some countries import from us is Crude oil(because ours is the best in the world) which is the raw material and the end product is the fuel. I will agree with your post if we are the ones refining for export to the countries you mentioned in your previous post but that's not the case here.

D US imports or crude cos its d best in d world. Less expensive 2 refine and highest octane content. To increase d octane content they add ethanol and certain catalysts.

Our crude oil has d lowest sulphur and lead content that's why its d most expensive in d international market. The americans are producing gas engines now so that's why they are reducing Nigerian fuel imports. Ur engine might not be built 4 higher octane fuel hence u restrict ur buy 2 urine coloured kind of fuel. If u have high performance engines then Nigerian 'pinkish' fuel is for u. Unfortunately if u live in d SS regions and parts of d SE then u have no choice cos fuel from our local refineries are sold in most of these regions and across all NNPC refineries. If in doubt please readup dis link. www.carbibles.com/fuel_engine_bible_pg3.html

[quote author=Godfullsam][/quote]Are u kidding me? Nigerian fuel is d best in d world. Its more expensive and has lower sulphur content. Refining is where d koko is. Our refineries might be cutting corners but there is no denying d excellence of our crude.

If in doubt please follow this link. Some cars cannot use high octane content fuel effectively while some others thrive on it. This brings me to d electic power delivered 2 homes. Due to substandard electrical products sold in d market the standard electrical current isn't supplied rather whenever it gets 2 d standard and bulbs begin 2 blow then we complain that d voltage is 2 high. www.fleetcare.com.au/news-info/fleet-beat-blog/june-2012/the-high-octane-debate-what-petrol-are-you.aspx

Why all these misinformation. If d fuel is real pinkish then that's our 9ja fuel straight from our refineries. They are d best cos it unleaded and d octane content is very high. This means ur engine delivers much better optimally with our fuel. In d west there is leaded and unleaded fuel with a remarkable difference. So please check ur engines or fuel tanks.

nelsenhenry: Well said. You don't beg for your money . You ask for it. In the right way though. Just as you don't beg for it you don't go about being all violent just to get it

I'm sure u know how 2 read and u read all that d youngman wrote. U could see d correspondence dats been taking place and their refusal and fraudulent approach 2 defraud a customer. When they know that they could face a potential backlash 4rm dissatisfied customers perhaps they'll think twice next time. I for one I want our organized private sector 2 lead d way so that we can all have a new Nigeria. U be talking while others are fighting and we'll all get there.

seunbadmus: You need to eat more sugar sir... why are you this bitter?

May bee sting ur left nip p le. Ewu lama. If u have d money why don't u give him abi u dey work 4 Jumia?

nelsenhenry: Very well said. A bad review in my opinion still doesn't mean you tell people to stay away from them. I believe you read the part that says "read the terms and conditions know your right and approach them civilly ". You only get cheated when you don't know exactly what you are entitled to. And I can't remember the generator of this topic say his purchase was shipped. If it's so it's something different entirely. Take legal action after gathering evidences in effect to this and the company still hasn't made a refund or delivered the item as indicated.
Just so u know: I've never shopped on jumia and I ain't got anyone I'm trying to protect as u are implying

has he no approached them civilly? Must he go to their office 2 beg? Did he go 2 their office to place d order? They either supply d TV with a public apology and retain a customer and other potential customers or they refund the money.

If ure on twitter then let's all tweet @JumiaNigeria to refund ASAP. If d law cannot allow us undertake legal class action then perhaps we should carry out an 'economic class action'

seunbadmus: That doesn't discredit Jumia. More positive reports on the average...

if that doesn't discredit them I wonder what does. Imagine they've lost 15customers by my last count. What does it take 2 refund an angry customers money? D confab should do something about class action lawsuits. This thievery behaviour has 2 stop. Today it Jumia, 2moro MTN and d next EKDC. Rubbish in high places.

jmaine: So you no bin know say touch light rays dey generate heat .

Anyway we thank God for sparing ya life

its not d rays rather it is d battery. All batteries heat up when in use. That's why people are advised 2 switch of their mobile fones or tuck it away when close 2 petrol.

Foreign observers often commented favorably on Benin's discipline and organization as "better disciplined than any other Guinea nation", contrasting them with the slacker troops from the Gold Coast

macof: see this pathetic liar, even in ur heart u know you are a damned liar

What has Bini got to do with ocean??

Olokun is Ijebu origin....and Ogun is Ekiti
Ogun is also in Akure, another in Ife and last in saki district of Oyo

Bronze casting was taught to bini by Ife

ur lies and falsehoods no get part 2. Benin art predates Ife art. Bini's were d first 2 start bronze and brass casting cos they 1st came in contact with d portuguese in Nigeria. Prior 2 dat they made carvings and molding. Benin city had d 1st church in Nigeria from d portuguese missionaries that came in d 16th century. That's why Benin chiefs wear a cassock. "The King of Benin can in a single day make 20,000 men ready for war, and, if need be, 180,000, and because of this he has great influence among all the surrounding peoples. . . . His authority stretches over many cities, towns and villages. There is no King thereabouts who, in the possession of so many beautiful cities and towns, is his equal."

—Olfert Dapper,

The king's palace or court is a square, and is as large as the town of Haarlem and entirely surrounded by a special wall, like that which encircles the town. It is divided into many magnificent palaces, houses, and apartments of the courtiers, and comprises beautiful and long square galleries, about as large as the Exchange at Amsterdam, but one larger than another, resting on wooden pillars, from top to bottom covered with cast copper, on which are engraved the pictures of their war exploits and battles..."

—Olfert Dapper

It is high time we get archaeologists into dis matter. Simple carbon dating techniques will put 2 bed a lot of these issues. For all of u that aren't aware. There were 3 main empires. Nok, dahoumey and d Benin empire. Dahoumey and d Benin empires were offshoots from d Nok empire. The Benin empire was d strongest and biggest. The major reason d Benin empire didn't grow in size was due 2 wickedness and high level of ritualistic practices. The yorubas, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Isoko, Ndokwa, Igbo(Onitsha), Ighara, Esan are either breakaways due 2 political tussles or brother princes that established other hamlets. In the case of the Urhobos who were slaves 2d Binis they ran away because of d practice of killing over 200slaves whenever an Oba was 2b buried. All Obas are buried @d Oba's palace. Like I said wickedness in high places as well as d 1897 massacre of Binis resulted in a weaker Benin.

Tomatoes in plastic bag ke? If u wanna store tomatoes then tear up a carton and place the tomatoes on it in a very cool environment. Alternatively u can store in a fridge but not just any fridge. Store in a fridge that can achieve a regulated 4degrees temp. At 4degrees most fruits and vegies don't go bad. Unless u have 24hrs power this option won't work. Potatoes can be stored in d freezer but first u must steam it 4 about 5mins, peel of d bark then steam again with salted water 2 kill d germs and then place in d freezer. Note freezer must always be frozen 4 optimum results.

Lordlexyy: Those who support Charley's poor behaviour does so cos Okorocha is from the opposition. He didn't fail to display his rascality even in full public glare. I wonder how parents would be proud to have a son like that who threw caution to the air to embarass a sitting Governor. This is poor politics poorly displayed. There are many civilised way of venting grieviances and surely, not this way. He has not only disrespect the Governor but also the ministering Priest and God as well since the episode took place in the church.

U wen dey buy girlfriend motor come dey fight am 4d motor wen she take u do wien nko? D family reserves d right on who they want to address them. By d way he warned that no campaigning allowed and that was exactly wot Okorocha did d previous day. Then u want him 2 allow that during d burial. His fathers burial not Okorochas. By d way u don collect ur motor abi na marriage last last?

jenuel: Charly Boys action is condemnable. His action showed utmost disrespect not only to Aboki Rochas Okoroocha but also to the officiating Bishop Kukah. Charly Boy as the first son of the jurist should start displaying majurity and not boyish acts. He had every opportunity to address the audience as the chief mourner and dispel all rumour.

Oga na Charly Papa burial no be Rochas campaign. He had every right. The family chooses who 2 address d church and not d officiating ministers

ogtavia: I wasn't there,so I can't tell how serious it was,but at any rate,I think Charlie Boy went a little overboard,if he wanted to embarass Okorocha (who according to people on dis thread is a synonym for lie),he shud have waited till like say the reception,where even d audience will be larger(people like Okorocha neva get tired of public misdemeanour),the occasion was abt his dad(tho dead) and nt abt him or Okorocha,yet I still understand dt we all av different temperaments,yet,I still think d occasion wasn't right,okay,he has snatched the mic from him and unwittingly sent him home or to a mistress's place,what next,the burial proceeding has been disrupted no matter how slight,however,it hasn't reduced d respect I av for charly Boy,no matter how small,however,those governor's nneed to be taught a bitter lesson in honesty,must they turn everything into politics?altho,I am very sure when Oputa Snr was dying,he might av settled it within himself dt his son might disrupt his burial or create a scene,it won't be a new thing,but Charly Boy chose a wrong occasion for the right thing,PDP and APC can go to hell with all its members,I dnt give two dead rats behind.

Ure very silly 4 dis stupi d comment. My fathers burial, I warn u that no politics will b tolerated and then u want 2 open ur mouth when u didn't donate jack while claiming u donated N20m. Charly own small my own 4b x10

Thank God for the internet. Research and believe. Fresh Air 2015.

By the way who says GEJ isn't fighting corruption? He is but that the way its been done in the past. The wise ones say prevention is better than cure. how many FG establishments see free money 2 steal these days? Don't worry in some months time he'll chase the likes of Aliyu Babaginda, Ameachi, Oshiomole and Lamido.

Nobody has clearly seen the lie here by Ameachi. You want to serve postings in a stadium? Abeg Ameachi should think up another lie.

This is the result of cluster bombs and its likes courtesy the Americans on the Afghans. Lets pray we dont see war in this country

I see the spirit of blasphemy at the door so I simply shut the door and move on to the next thread.

I love for us to be objective when assessing an administration or president. The raw and undiluted truth is GEJ has done well. If you go through my posts you'll clearly see I supported, campaigned and voted Buhari in 2011. I'm an Edo man but voted Buhari based on 2 beliefs.
1.I knew GEJ and Buhari will get the job done but it will cost Nigeria and Nigerians less with Buhari because a N3b Buhari contract will equal a N30b GEJ contract.
2.Buhari will fight corruption much better than GEJ.

Having said all these it's time to live up to certain realities that have manifested in the past 2 years.
Come 2015 I'll be voting GEJ based on the following premise.

1. GEJ has performed well and I dare say above average. Obama almost lost the election in the US because like today the Americans didn't think he was capable enough to turn around the mess created by years of republican economic mismanagement and war campaigns which they even intended moving to Iran. Towards the tail-end of Obama's 1st term the people began to see the sacrifices they've endured from the economic rebuilding programs initiated by Obama. As I write they Americans are beginning to see that they didn't make a mistake after all. With an economy beginning to blossom they know that there's no way other than up. Same scenario applies to Nigeria. GEJ has began to apply the foundation blocks for the building of a prosperous economy as soon as he began his tenure albeit slowly. Students of economics know that you must have a robust economy before that robust economy will begin to translate into jobs.
2. I can travel from Lagos to Benin in 3 HOURS yes 3 hours. With just 4 police checkpoints "Highway patrol checkpoints" I can comfortably do 120-130km/h and be in Benin all other unforeseen circumstances not taken into consideration.
Last Week, I did Lagos to PH in 9.5hrs even with a stopover in Benin for 30mins at an eatery and a tire check at warri.
I'm sure you can deduce that the roads are very good save for very small portions still being worked on. OBJ complaining that GEJ isn't working should know that the blood of thousands of Nigerians who have perished on that road whom Annenih and himself embezzled (1st N150b and then N300b) are after him and his unsaved children. Can anyone say that the roads aren't much better since GEJ came on board?
3. Power is improving. Yes power supply is improving and by christmas I know that all those castigating GEJ now will bow their heads in shame once they see the remarkable improvements in this sector. 18hr power supply is enough to dumb hs greatest critics.
4. The northerners complaining has anyone ever touched their lives as remarkably as GEJ has done. The peaceful states upnorth are enjoying 1st class agricultural attention. GEJ has broken the middleman tradition in fertilizer distribution thereby creating enemies from the northern elites bent on enslaving the common northerner perpetually.
5. When was the last time you heard of big multinationals thinking of coming to invest in Africa? Sorry to inform all you critics that Nigeria is in the forefront of African FDI though I don't support the administration's claim of FDI. There is a difference between FDI and 'hot money'. 'Hot Money' is money invested in the stock market which can cause a bubble if it is hastily withdrawn as it was done in 2007/2008.
6. We now export things other than oil and gas. Isn't that great? This is the first true case of diversification of the economy. We export cement, rubber, plastic, cocoa etc.
7. Functional rail? Lagos-Kano on stream, Maiduguri-PH coming on stream in dec, intra-city train service in Lagos, Kano and Kaduna, Enugu to Abakaliki coming on stream in march next year. Bros una still get mouth?
8. A relatively freer and fairer election?
9. I have being pissed of by these Northern elitist buffoons who want to continually enslave their fellow less privileged brothers and don't want any form of light being shown them.
9. Lastly, Has anyone in the history of Nigeria ever accommodated more criticisms and insults than this president and continually behaves like a mumu when he clearly knows what he is doing?

Please, Abeg lets be objective enough and open our eyes to the real realities.

However, I want to see attention in an area where the president has [size=15pt]failed woefully[/size] and that is in the area of corruption. I need to see true reforms in the judiciary championed by the executive.

Eeeehen! So na Beaf be Reno Omokri? Kai wonders will never end. The person that granted that interview and the Beaf on this forum are 2 very different people. Mehn!

If I was President I will make it a priority to criminalize tribalism just as racism is. This tribal bashing must be declared criminal urgently. Once that is done no one will come here an online forum and spill bile from their devilish, hate infested gutters they call mouths.

Nwando anything more? Otherwise michionu Biko! Ure a stinking moth in a trash can is my final verdict. Get a life

lond07: Please what is the meaning of this slang - Mtseeeeew. I googled but no result!!!

Kai! Nairaland no go killime O! Abeg make una explain Mtcheeeeew for am now?
