PRESS RELEASE

WE MUST FIGHT CORRUPTION FOR ITS DAMAGE ON NIGERIA ECONOMY-VP

It is important that Nigerians insist that the problem of corruption must be dealt with considering the extent of the damage it has caused the country's economy.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, made the assertion today while receiving a delegation of the University of Lagos Alumni Association that paid him a courtesy call at the Presidential Villa.

"We've watched corruption fighting back, some people even said bring back corruption, but not the man on the street," according to Prof. Osinbajo who added that the nation has witnessed excessive corruption.

Said he : "no economy can tolerate the level of corruption seen in Nigeria without consequences. Look at the Northeast, while a war is going, Nigerian lives being lost, some local governments had been taken over, and yet people cannot account for $15B meant for security equipment purchases."

"The corruption has been so much. Look at the sheer amount of money stolen and decisions taken that fuels corruption, decisions taken just with the sole aim of cornering national resources," the Vice President lamented.

While explaining the Buhari administration's approach to the fight against corruption, the Vice President noted that "we are not sitting down focussing on it, all we do is to empower the relevant agencies EFCC and co to do their jobs. Our main focus is the national economy."

Continuing he said "what catches our attention is the kind of discoveries we get and hear of daily." But he observed that Nigeria is still blessed with honest people, adding that as a nation it is important to pay serious attention to issues of integrity.

According to him, regarding the current government, "I can say is one that is completely focussed on dealing with issues that concerns this country. I work everyday with the President so I can say so. He is totally focussed on how to make this country a better place to live."

The UNILAG Alumni Association was led by Dr. Sunny Kuku who noted the group's support for the Buhari administration, expressing readiness to assist in any way necessary. He said the members of the Alumni Association were proud that one of them rose to the high office of the Vice President. Prof. Osinbajo said he was glad to receive the group in his office and grateful to be honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award.

I thought the choice of single or dual exhaust system depends on the engine layout... So this question is like asking what kind of engine you would like!

Let me explain...

Straight line engines - or L engines will have single exhausts! eg If all the cylinders of the engine are in a single line, then it will only exit on one side and therefore you'll have a single exhaust!
Popular examples in cars in Nigeria are all your "4plug" engines that have all the cylinders in a line

If it's a V engine... then you'll have a dual exhaust setup because you'll have 2 lines of cylinders with each exiting on each side of the engine
eg are your V6, V8 and V12 engines (V12 not so common)

Then you have your W engines which will have 4 lines of cylinders and therefore, you'll get 4 exhausts
eg W8, W12, and W16 engines (Bugatti veyron for example is a W16 engine... one of the few W16s out there and the biggest engine out there at the moment)

That's how it is... Having a single exhaust doesn't limit the flow of anything like the OP said so it can't be a disadvantage... It's just what the engine needs!

You didn't specify the year model you're looking forward to purchase.

An Avalon, a venza, a highlander, an RX lexus, an ES lexus are all based off Camry platforms. In fact same engines and most common parts are shared. If you're not comfortable with driving a Camry, then you shouldn't feel comfy in any of these.

Note that I never said I had any issue with a camry or driving one. I just said I'd rather not pay the price of toll for an SUV for what is essentially a camry.


I've worked on and driven lots of these cars, they're good. They're fast, and almost at par with premium or luxury cars. The Fabric Upholstery's were designed using premium grade fabric (actually Toyota uses premium grade fabric in most of their interiors), the JBL synthesis audio is exhilarating, very very sweet rich sounds.handling, well, its not a Ferrari so don't expect sporty handling, don't even start talking fuel economy, or else go buy a corolla or picanto or something.
Venza, to me, is a great buy.

nacozee:
LOL. So apart from the SUV toll. its a great vehicle for u?

nacozee:
i am ready to own my first car and am considering the venza. i need someone who has driven this car to give me some reviews. is it a right choice to make?

This is actually the right time to deregulate the downstream oil sector. What's the essence of paying exuberant subsidy to the major oil marketers when the price of oil has crashed in the market? Though I still think the 145 naira per litre is kind of too much{ maybe 120/115 naira per litre is ok and somehow understandable}, but the subsidy removal timing is spot on and every reasonable Nigerian should support it.

Lai Mohammed,

“In Cross Rivers reserve park, Nigeria has the oldest forest in the whole world. It is the oldest in terms of biodiversity, and we have this very rare, white-mane gorilla in that area, but because my people in Cross River have decided to turn them to bush meat, they have now escaped.”

Felixsparks:
my thought exactly

When I referred to existing structures, I wasn't implying only roads. Basic infrastructure like the ones you mentioned: refuse. The government can decide to map out a portion of the state for waste disposal/management. An individual can't do it lest the owners of the land lynch him or her to death.

The area you where mentioning is likely not to roads only but housing et al. So roads is a major problem not the only problem.

Aba is to the East as Lagos is to the West albeit without a seaport. People used to come from the North to get materials for clothing et al but no longer the case because of the roads.

I concur with you on the point of the residents and their manner of approach wrt refuse disposal. It's a culture thing and not necessarily governmental but the government has to put measures in place for moving refuse/waste at the right time.

Lastly I'm not from Abia but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be concerned. I have friends there so I visit the town once in a while.
