princdebola201:point of correction it is only anambra and Enugu use igwe for kings IMO,abia and rivers uses Eze for king some delta use Obi with some villages in anambra just like in Yoruba some bear oba ,dome ooni, some baale, some whatever name they choose in UK some use duke,some use baraon,some even us sir .... it depends |
princdebola201:we have Obi of nsugbe ..that is a town in anambra and the word Obi means palace of big compound of head of family another Obi means heart also so maybe Mikel Obi is Benin or maybe I am Benin by my native name obinna the way people twist history can be funny Onitsha was never under Benin rule pls Onitsha came from the daughter of NRI iguedo and some Igbo returned from their sourjourn in Benin via Eze chime maybe that is a Benin name also mind you the term Onitsha or onicha is pure Igbo we have tons of Igbo villages in all the south east state including delta and some Rivera that have Onitsha-onicha as prefix to their name unlike Yoruba that never had eko as prefix or suffix to their name this is Igbo 101 asaba people migrated from awka and some other Igbo mainland pls pls stop peddling lies biko |
Vello:do you know one of the main laws of nature ? it is self preservation |
angels09:the phone can call your ancestors that gave up since 15th century |
midolian:these two old men jonesing around and they have something in common both are APC both have frog looks the older has a frog eye the younger has a frog shape mtchewwww |
what is wrong with Nigerian army and their crude method of fighting why can't they give that food to the idp and Muslim urchins in north |
Dottore:it simple....Nigerian Muslim are one of the most stupid Muslims in the world after Afghanistan's |
UrennaNkoli:why are Muslim daft and problematic...if Nigerian Muslim wants to join Isis so be it ..they should perish in line of duty fewer Muslims in Nigeria begots fewer problems |
Obiagelli:but why the renaissance in you ? |
Obiagelli:your my sister and I will not throw away the baby and bad water and also know that I am happy for your quick recovery from buhari induced bi polar disorder . I am also happy that you maintained your pills and finally I would love to say big ups to your psychiatrist...he did a good job welcome back to reality nno nwanne have you forgotten that wise men is always from the east where is beremx the APC lap top or lap dancer |
cybertyrant:watch them the sophisticated ones descend with no mindful idea mark my words. they will insult and call names I am an observer |
mekybabe1:try and get laid this weekend ....it's affecting your reasoning pm me asap |
another Igbo goal tender ...hmmmm that ikeme sound like the abia Igbo who can pin point this |
vicadex07:pls do me a great favor ...stop and don't quote me cos I won't quote you beside that stop been afraid of Biafra ..if they don't want Nigeria then leave them ...is it force to be yoked together respect peoples will pls don't ever quote me again consider this an honor ....for me to reply you |
Today we find that vehicles come in 3 drive configurations front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and 4 or all-wheel drive. In this article, we will focus on only front and rear-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive is where the engine drives only the front wheels. Rear-wheel drive is when the engine drives only the rear wheels.Funny enough I am driving a front wheel private car. Front-wheel drive is used in order to provide a compact package. Very little space is necessary since the engine and the wheels being driven are in the front of the vehicle. A center tunnel or a higher chassis is not necessary as they would be in a rear-wheel-drive configuration. The driveshaft of the rear-wheel-drive vehicle has to reach from the engine to the rear wheels causing the need for a tunnel or higher chassis. The front-wheel-drive-configuration also promotes good traction. Due to their better traction due to weight distribution, front-wheel-drive vehicles are preferred to rear-wheel-drive if one needs to drive in snow, mud or wet roads. However, front-wheel-drive vehicles are not always as quick to accelerate as rear-wheel drive because of weight transference that takes place during acceleration causes the front wheels to sharply reduce their grip and this adversely affects torque. Find the New Car that’s Right for You >> In addition, front-wheel-drive vehicles feature a transverse engine (facing side to side) while rear-wheel-drive vehicles have a longitudinal engine (facing front to back). Due to the style of the engine, front-wheel drive actually restricts the size of the engine. That is why you will see front-wheel-drive cars with inline 4 and V6 engines. Longer engines such as Inline 6 and big bore V8 engines have a difficult time fitting into the available space. This is why most luxury cars as well as sports cars more often than not have a rear wheel drive configuration. Advantages to a Front-Wheel-Drive Configuration Include: More Interior Space Lower Weight Less Cost to Manufacture Improved Drivetrain Efficiency Forward Center of Gravity Which Improves Traction Predictable Handling Disadvantages to a Front-Wheel-Drive Vehicle Are: Poorer Torque Allowing Front-Wheel-Drive Vehicles to Pull Left or Right when They Are Accelerated with Some Force Lack of Weight Shifting Which Limits the Acceleration of the Vehicle Reduced Traction When the Vehicle Is Climbing a Slope in Slippery Conditions The CV Joints Attached to the Wheel Hub Tend to Wear Out Faster Increased Turning Circle Because the Transverse Engine Limits the Amount the Front Wheels Can Turn The Size of the Engine Is Restricted Advantages to a Rear-Wheel-Drive Vehicle Include: Even Weight Distribution Better Weight Transfer During Acceleration Better Steering Radius Better handling On Dry Roads Better Braking Better Towing Capability Easier Serviceability Can Feature More Powerful Engines Disadvantages Include: Possibility of Oversteering When the Vehicle Is Accelerated Hard Poorer Traction In Snow, Ice and Sand Less Interior Space Increased Weight Higher Cost for the Vehicle Improper Weight Distribution When the Vehicle Is Loaded A Longer Driveshaft to Reach the Rear Wheels So, as you can see, it is important to consider your driving habits and needs to determine which configuration would be right for you. Front Wheel Drive As with RWD, FWD offers two main advantages — just very different ones. The first is economy. It is cheaper to design and build a FWD car. There are fewer parts — and the drivetrain is easier and cheaper to install as the car rolls down the assembly line. FWD also helps cut down the car’s weight by eliminating the separate transmission and axle assemblies used in a RWD car. This, in turn helps the car get better gas mileage. This is why FWD is most commonly found in economy-type and lower-cost cars. The other FDW plus is better traction than a RWD car can deliver — especially in rain and snow. The front wheels pull the car instead of the rear wheels pushing it. And, the weight of the engine/transaxle sits on top of the (front) drive wheels, which further helps the car get a grip. FWD cars are typically very capable in poor weather — even excellent, when fitted with snow tires. Cons? FWD cars are nose-heavy, which isn’t optimal for handling — especially high-speed, high-load handling. A related problem is that the front wheels have to do two things at once — put the power to the ground and steer the car. This, too, is not optimal for a performance/sporty car. In a high-powered FWD car, it can sometimes be difficult or awkward to keep the car pointed straight ahead as the car accelerates. The front wheels may jerk to the left or right — a problem called “torque steer.” Modern FWD cars are less prone to this thanks to electronic traction control, but it’s still not the hot set-up for performance applications — which is why very few “serious” performance cars are FWD.

Car Lingo If You’ve Never Bought a Truck Before Oversold New Car Features The final thing to know about FWD is that it’s relatively fragile. Half-shafts and constant velocity (CV) joints are more susceptible to injury than a rugged lump of cast iron — as in a RWD car’s solid axle. While a RWD car’s axle may outlast the car and never require service beyond the occasional lube change, it is far more likely that a FWD car will need new CV joints/boots or something else as the years roll by. All Wheel Drive The best thing about AWD is that it gives you some of the advantages of both RWD and FWD — while minimizing the weaker points of either of those layouts. The number one advantage of AWD is excellent traction — both on dry pavement and in poor weather. This is why AWD appeals to both the performance-minded enthusiast as well as the person who just doesn’t want to get stuck in the snow. Some AWD systems are based on RWD layouts (examples include the Mercedes Benz E-Class) while others are built around FWD layouts (such as any new Subaru). The RWD-based versions are usually more performance-oriented but all AWD vehicles do an impressive job of balancing handling/driving dynamics with “go anywhere, anytime” bad weather capability. But there are downsides — the two biggest ones being weight and cost. AWD cars can weigh several hundred pounds more than an otherwise identical RWD or FWD car. This hurts the car’s acceleration — at least, when compared with an otherwise identical RWD or FWD version of the same car. And the added weight means the car will use more fuel — especially if the engine’s power has been increased to compensate for the added weight. The last downside with AWD is the cost. AWD, when offered as an option, usually adds significantly to the car’s sticker price. If it’s standard equipment, the car will usually cost more than otherwise equivalent FWD or RWD cars. And because there are more components, there are more things that will need to be serviced — and which may eventually fail and hit you up with a big bill as the car gets older. So, you’ll pay more up front — at the pump — and down the road. But that may be worth not getting stuck every time it snows — and still being able to tear into corners when it’s nice out. Rear Wheel Drive There are two main advantages to owning a RWD car. The first is that RWD is both simple and rugged — especially if it’s a solid axle design — and can take a lot of abuse without needing expensive repairs. Accidentally run over a curb in a solid axle RWD car, for instance, and you probably won’t break anything. But hit a curb (or even a deep pothole) in a FWD car and the odds are much higher that something expensive will be damaged. This is why cop cars and other “service” vehicles are overwhelmingly RWD. The other advantage RWD cars offer is better balance — and because of this, better handling. While a FWD car has most of the weight of the engine and transaxle (the transmission and axle assembly are one unit in a FWD car) over the front wheels, a RWD car spreads the weight of its drivetrain more evenly front-to-rear. This is why most sports cars — and virtually all race cars — are RWD. And cons? As anyone who has owned one will tell you, RWD cars are at their weakest in poor weather — rain and snow. Even with modern traction control, a RWD car is more prone to loss of traction on slick roads. In snow, RWD cars are best left home. - See more at: http://blog.motorists.org/pros-cons-rear-wheel-drive-front-wheel-drive-or-all-wheel-drive/#sthash.pFV6OIqp.dpuf |
MY DEAR GO FOR LEXUS, HONDA IS A WHACK CAR...THE LEGS CAN PULL IN MIDDLE OF AN EXPRESS LANE OR IN MIDDLE OF NOWHERE SO BE MINDFUL |
totoisgud:most of these kids that post here...majority are jobless or under employed. most cant even feed themselves or pay common rent...from the way they talk...you will know. an exposed and well travelled man wont act like that so i have learnt one thing, read their post, ignore majority of them and engage the matured one IF YOU ARE INTO BUSINESS AND CORPORATE WORLD...AS YOU CLIMB UP. NOBODY CARES ABOUT TRIBES UP THERE WHAT THEY CARE IS GET THE DEAL DONE So ignore them, tribe wont pay my air ticket, wont pay my fuel in the car, wont pay my kids school fees. what would do that is smartness, luck, networking,Hardworks and quality one then above all GOD So engage them at your own peril. ignore them you will be happy |
totoisgud:the whole thing tire me ...too much kids here so I think that most of them are dependent that's why they can afford this go to car section and see matured mind brother forget these kids |
ShineuEye:your correct on that guy ..but wait oo is niger delta a tribe because IMO abia r also there |
Ramnon2:I totally concur with you on this for the first time |
kpaofame:that's from my man ...idi amin Dada of Uganda ..aka king of Scotland and former Uganda top notch one of the finest dictators Africa has ever presented... big ups to him |
londonrivals:Now all I will say is bybe to freedom of speech...they voted change and now they cant cricise change... now how can I change my IP Oh GEJ was a nice dude in this aspect lol i am laughing change people they came to power on social media now they are in power they will want to kill social media we are been taking back to 18th century now where is my passport...i am off to panya |
its unfortunate...this is one good reason people should get an insurance policy and these onlookers go get a job.... above all does the insurance policy work in Nigeria anyway? |
So PDP dumped Obasanjo finally...what a way to go geesilver: |
Agencies under the Communication Technology ministry as well as those under Science and Innovation ministry are quietly being scrutinized and their former or serving heads put under auditors’ watch. Heads of government agencies many with petitions already against them are to be axed, it was learnt. Others are penciled down for sack for actions tantamount to abuse of official procedures, even if there are clear no petitions against them. “People with known case of impunity and who clearly were appointed outside of laid down procedures will go, I can assure you” said the insider who should know. The federal government had hired auditing firms including KPMG, and PriceWaterHouseCoopers (PwC) to assess the operations of all revenue generating agencies such as the Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Internal Revenue Service (FIRS), Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) among others. http://itedgenews.com/2015/08/28/government-opens-audit-files-on-ict-agencies/# |
NOW WONT IT SPILL THE EWEDU ATI GBEGIRI lalasticlala: |
Now mind you...these sai buhari people will chastise you, me i will just laugh at you because I am becoming NOSTRADEMUS, while some of them that will love to play ostrich claiming that they play sophisticated politics will feel betrayed while the people in the east will feel vindicated...then the we the south south people will always say... IT DOESNT MATTER so far they perform while Nigeria as a country will look with a whole lot of anger inbuilt but busy window dressing I SAID IT BEFORE AND I AM SAYING IT AGAIN WE ARE NOT IN DEMOCRACY WE ARE IN GERONTOCRACY WITH SOME ELEMENT OF THEOCRACY AND KLEPTOCRACY Take it or leave it am outta hear and please do not quote me, if you dont have anything meaningul to say the whole thing sucks you know [ UmuEri: |
Ugomba:God be with you nwanne madu |
hmmm thats meth |
