So we are just supposed to use our initiatives to guess the two cars u are trying to compare. Anyway go for the Lamborghini Aventador, it commands more class.
Mbanu! The Bajaj Keke Napep is far more reliable, super fuel and maintenance efficient. Tell ya friend to go for this one.
TravelRe: Peace Mass Bus Travelling To Abuja Involved In Fatal Accident,Many Dead(photos) by Somatic(m): 8:05pm On Mar 11, 2017
I'm appalled at the reasoning of many on this thread. We see a 3 vehicle accident and because one of them so happens to be a PMT bus, its the one automatically at fault eh? Yes, the PMT has had more than a fair share of accidents in its segment of transportation, but this condemnation is really uncalled for. Looking at the scene of the accident, the PMT bus was heavily side swiped and rear ended (and probably thrown off the road) by either the Porsche or the Cross Country's Hiace. We do not know the narrative of this accident, let's not cast spurious aspersions.

Car TalkRe: Most Practical Location For A Fire Extinguisher by Somatic(m): 6:03am On Jan 26, 2017
GAZZUZZ:
Under the front passenger seat, has easy reach.
Car seats these days have complex wires and vents that reduce space for anything thicker than a Grisham novel. How does one now fit an extinguisher inside? Woulda preferred seats myself but mine has a provision in the boot for it.
Christianity EtcRe: Why I Stormed Out Of The Church Today. by Somatic(m): 6:19pm On Jan 22, 2017
OP, my church needs your lot O. Over here, the struggle for the back seat is real. People actually come very early to get vantage back seat positions. Latecomers seat in front

That said, I believe you were in the wrong here. Even in your family house, seats are reserved for special people much less a large gathering like a church like yours. Those seats are meant to accommodate special guests whether they were invited or not as well as guarantee those in the protocol unit ease of accessibility. Your knowledge of the intent of the seat(s) and your insistence on seating there smacks of disobedience to constituted authority and establishment. If you feel so entitled, go to any government org in your state and park in the spot of the Perm SEC or your governor since such spots are largely unused (and your taxes pay their salaries) and see if you don't sleep with mosquitoes. Others before you aren't blind. OCD is not an excuse for conceit.

The title of the story is "Failure of the First Night", not " Young Marriage ". At this point, it is safe to conclude the story.

Where do you work? If its possible, liase with your accounts people to separate your pay into two accounts. On one, tie her phone number to the account. It will depict transparency on your part and the realization of dwindling income lines will force her to readjust to present conditions or contribute her own quota to the family cake (I do not however subscribe to husbands requesting wives to take up financial obligations).

Car TalkRe: FRSC Between Non Offenses and Unjust Fines by Somatic(op): 2:02pm On Aug 07, 2016
Thank you all for analysing this incident as dispassionately as you should. For those who think my mother "deliberately" failed to produce the items prior to her booking, I wish to raise a few pointers.

When she called me about the items, I told her where to go get the triangle and the extinguisher. The triangle was located at a recess on the right hand side, the extinguisher besides the spare tire. The boot floor covers that. That's how the car came.

Seeing that she couldn't get around it, I told her to get any of their personnel help get out the items. They refused to take her phone. Saying they had booked her already. By then, she had found the triangle, but couldn't get to lift the floor board.

Upon getting there, I queried them as to why the rush to book seeing that she told them I was coming to get out the items as well as try going to the house to seek it. I asked them with their experience in vehicle matters, they wouldn't have pointed out to Mum where these things are supposed to be. Oga Emmanuel asserted that they were not obligated to do that. But they are obligated to fine her unjustly. She was wearing her seatbelt, her parking lights were on cause of the rain, she wasn't going fast. Her offense; stopping to be interrogated by the FRSC.

We are all service personnel one way or the other. If I "convincingly" commit an offense, sanction me appropriately. Not speculatively. Again, on realizing the error, they would have had two choices. Either cancel the booking or bear the cost of payment. And for option 2, I honestly was open to negotiation, after all who doesn't make mistakes? But to pay in full for someone else's error when I'm not Jesus? Haba!

I have decided on some action to take even as I appreciate the options given to me here. I am willing to explore all legal avenues on this matter to ensure that I be the last person in Kaduna and hopefully Nigeria this sort of injustice by the FRSC happens to.

Car TalkFRSC Between Non Offenses and Unjust Fines by Somatic(op):
Lalasticlala come and see snake that looks like Tonto Dike O!


Today, I was at my shed minding my business and trying to prevent the devil from rumpling my destiny when at exactly 3:13pm, I received a call. The frenzied voice at the other end, my mother's. She claimed the FRSC then stationed a few meters to her home were holding her on her inability to produce for them, her warning triangle and her triangle extinguisher. I tried my best to guide her towards where the items were kept, however she succeeded in getting out the triangle sans extinguisher.

Drove to the scene with a colleague to discover that they have let her go. Only after booking her irreversibly and seizing her license accordingly. My much calmer colleague pleaded that they reverse the charge bearing in mind that it was done in error. They admitted the error but turned to blame their error on my mum's inability to know the whereabouts of her particulars. I asked if any of them if they helped her search, seeing she couldn't get it. Instead, one Emmanuel Baka said my mother annoyed him by sitting in the car and making calls instead of getting out to beg.

Called mum to come back to scene to confirm their claims. She asked them to their face to deny that she begged them, each and every one. She begged that she leave the car with them and walk home to seek out the 'truant extinguisher'. She begged they allow me come before taking action. She used every old lady sentiment on them. And yet they didn't budge. The Emmanuel guy said the charge is irreversible and she has to pay. His "consolation", rather than pay within the two week ultimatum, my mum has "an extended grace period" of 1 month to pay the fine or get charged to court. Meanwhile her driver's license had been seized already. I ranted and raved. Mum and colleague begged and pleaded. FRSC Maraban Jos Kaduna unit did not budge. Apparently TGIF returns does cloud proper sense of reasoning and judgement. The amount(3,000) is not much. How ever, the unfairness and injustice of it all..... I can't explain. He even threatened to add obstruction of duty to the already existing charges if we do not leave his presence. And yours truly dared him to.

Meanwhile right before them, a bad driver was reported and an accident occurred. Unofficial PRO Emmanuel Baka maintained that first they are mandated not to act on citizen information, and the accident was "not within his jurisdiction". So extortion is within his jurisdiction, I queried. I do not know if the uniform by Nigerian law enforcement provides cover for all sorts of impunity. However, if it is so, through this platform, Emmanuel Baka and FRSC Birnin Yero Unit, Maraban Jos and their likes may learn the proper use of the uniform on their backs and the office that they hold.
