Crime › Re: 58-year-old Woman, Others Remanded In Prison For Prostitution by tonychristopher: 10:37am On Nov 26, 2015
HungerBAD:
A Lagos State Magistrates’ Court sitting in Igbosere on Wednesday remanded a 58-year-old woman, Sandra Akomake alongside four other women in prison custody after pleading guilty to a one-count charge of prostitution.

Akomake and four other women, Helen Ugwu,34, Chika Okoro,40, Roseline Jebba, 43, and a 61-year-old Ordega Theresa were arrested on Tuesday for allegedly soliciting for sex in exchange for money.

The prosecutor, Sgt. Nicholas Akeene told the court that the accused persons committed the offence at about 11.pm at Thompson Avenue in Ikoyi area of the state on Tuesday.

According to the prosecutor, the offence contravened Section 142 (1) (a) (b) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.

Ugwu, Okoro and Jebba pleaded guilty to the one count charge, but the fifth suspect,61-year-old Theresa claimed not guilty.

“I know nothing about this,” Theresa said.

Her counsel, S.A. Owhoraye, said she was a trader and applied for her bail.

The magistrate, Mrs. Matepo, granted Theresa bail in the sum of N50,000 and two sureties in like sum, while she ordered that the others be remanded in prison.

Matepo adjourned the case till November 30 for facts and sentencing.

erunz:
U.S Director of the African Center at the prestigious African Council in Washington, Dr Peter Pham said that Nigeria has failed time and again to effectively beat back the Boko Haram sect wreaking havoc across the country.



"Officials there have tried to shift the blame to Washington, claiming American policies have prevented Nigeria from acquiring the weapons needed to win the fight against extremism. But it turns out the real culprits may have been closer to home."

But Pham wasn’t so sure. Even if the Nigerian military had acquired the equipment outlined in Dasuki’s alleged phantom contracts, Pham said Nigeria’s poorly trained military might not have known what to do with it.

“You beat a military uprising by war fighting, and, quite simply, they don’t have a war-fighting military,” he said.

According to Buhari — the onetime military leader who beat out former President Goodluck Jonathan in March and took over the presidency in May — Dasuki awarded “phantom contracts” to buy a dozen helicopters, four fighter jets, bombs, and ammunition. None of the equipment or weapons were ever supplied to the military, and he said Dasuki pocketed the money.

Dasuki, the official who arrested Buhari when he was overthrown in a coup the first time he led Nigeria in 1985, has denied all charges.

Pham, an expert on international relations said Wednesday that “there is personal history between the two men.”

For Dasuki to have stolen $2 billion out of a relatively small defense budget would be “getting into an unconscionable amount of corruption,” Pham said.

“I’m not saying that means Sambo Dasuki is innocent, but I don’t believe in coincidences either,” he said.

Two billion dollars may sound like a lot, and for a defense budget of just $6 billion a year, it is.

But even if Dasuki did dip his fingers that deeply into the defense budget, tracking down what he allegedly took may be nothing more than a starting point. Buhari believes roughly $150 billion has been stolen from Nigeria by corrupt officials over the past decade.

In July, when he visited Washington to discuss the fight against Boko Haram, Buhari requested that U.S. President Barack Obama help track down the jaw-dropping amount of money allegedly stolen by corrupt officials. The need to hunt for that much in missing funds is “a testament to how badly Nigeria has been run,” Buhari said.

Pham said that where exactly the $150 billion figure came from is still not clear and, to a certain degree, Buhari is right to track down and hold accountable those who let corruption fester. But according to him, the dramatic crackdown on corruption is in some ways a distraction from addressing structural problems, including oil prices and the government’s failure to diversify its revenue streams.

“I fear that this is a populist substitute for addressing some issues that may be much more unpopular,” he said.

Just like Jonathan’s administration wanted a “magic bullet” to solve Boko Haram, Buhari’s can’t expect arresting a few corrupt officials to solve the root cause of the problem.

Last November, then-Nigerian ambassador to the U.S. Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye called on the United States to provide more military assistance for the fight against Boko Haram, claiming the United States was only allowing Nigeria to “deliver light jabs to the terrorists when what we need to give them is the killer punch.”

Four months later, roughly two weeks before Buhari ousted Jonathan in the country’s presidential election, top Nigerian military and intelligence officials visited Washington and again blasted the United States for not doing more to help Nigeria fight Boko Haram.

Rear Adm. Gabriel E. Okoi, then-Nigeria’s chief of defense intelligence, said at the time that Nigeria’s friends had “disappointed” them.

The officials were referencing the U.S. Leahy Law, which prevents the Pentagon from providing arms to militaries that have committed egregious human rights violations. Last year, the United States also blocked the sale of an Apache helicopter from Israel, claiming Nigeria did not know how to use the equipment, which further angered officials there.

Meanwhile, Femi Adesina, an advisor to Buhari, seemed to pivot from the American blame game last week, saying instead that if the money allegedly stolen by Dasuki had been spent the way it was intended, “thousands of needless Nigerian deaths would have been avoided.”



J. Peter Pham is Director of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC. He previously held an academic appointment as tenured Associate Professor of Justice Studies, Political Science, and Africana Studies at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

An expert on international relations and strategic issues, with particular concentrations on U.S. foreign and defense policy, African politics and security, terrorism and political violence, and religion and global politics, Dr. Pham has authored of over 300 essays and reviews and is the author, editor, or translator of over a dozen books on these topics. He is frequently invited to testify before the United States Congress and brief senior administration officials and has also served as an adviser to the United Nations, foreign governments, and multinational corporations.

EternalTruths:
Any job creation whose operational expenses is financed from the government purse is unsustainable and a major liability which do land such governments in debt.



That's why many SW states are debt ridden.



So what Elrufai is saying are

1) He has limited funds to finance job creation that depends on government funds to cover their operational cost

2) He has little or no knowledge on how to create jobs that can survive on their own profit without depending on government funds.








In summary


Elrufai good morning to you

Car Talk › Explained: The Pros And Cons Of Different Engine Types by tonychristopher(op): 3:51pm On Nov 25, 2015
The most common engine types - the four-cylinder, the boxer-four, straight-six, V6 and V8 - have their own pros and cons. Here's everything you need to know in one handy guide...
BMW - Engineering Explained: The Pros And Cons Of Different Engine Types - Blog

What makes more power, a 4.0-litre V6 engine or a 4.0-litre V8? The answer isn’t so simple. When discussing various engines, the layout isn’t the biggest contributing factor to how much power it makes. With a bit of ingenuity (and you know, cash), a four cylinder engine can make just as much power as a V12. So what makes manufacturers choose different engine layouts? Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each layout.
1. Four-cylinder inline four
BMW - Engineering Explained: The Pros And Cons Of Different Engine Types - Blog

Let’s start with one of the most common engines, the inline four cylinder. There’s a reason it’s common, largely because it’s so simple: one cylinder bank, one cylinder head and one valve train. Here’s all you need to know:

Advantages:

The four-cylinder, inline four is small and compact, meaning it easily fits in nearly any engine bay.
It’s also lightweight, and with only one exhaust manifold, weight is further reduced.
With only one cylinder head, there are fewer moving parts than engines with multiple cylinder banks. This means less energy is lost which reduces the probability of malfunctions.
Primary forces are balanced because the outside two pistons move in the opposite direction of the inside two pistons (see picture above).
Four-cylinder engines are easy to work on; the cylinder head is the highest point which makes spark plug jobs and valve train access very easy.
Four-cylinder engines require lower manufacturing costs.

Disadvantages:

Secondary forces are not balanced, which ultimately limits the size of the engine.
Inline fours will rarely exceed 2.5 litres to 3.0 litres.
Larger four cylinder engines will often require balancing shafts to cancel the vibration caused by the secondary imbalance.
High centre of gravity compared to some layouts (H4).
Not as rigid as some layouts (V6, V8).

Here’s a quick video explanation of the four-cylinder engine:
2. Horizontally-opposed
BMW - Engineering Explained: The Pros And Cons Of Different Engine Types - Blog

From a performance standpoint, there aren’t many options as attractive as an engine with horizontally-opposed cylinders. The boxer four isn’t nearly as common as the other engines on this list, but from an engineering standpoint it’s a logical choice for your race car.

Advantages:

Primary and secondary forces are well balanced. This is a smooth engine.
This allows for less weight on the crankshaft, resulting in less power lost to rotational inertia.
Low centre of gravity allows for better handling.

Disadvantages:

Packaging size: these are very wide engines.
Flat engines were once used in Formula 1 for their performance advantages, but due to their width they obstructed airflow and are no longer used.
Complexity - two cylinder heads/valve trains.
Rocking couple (plane imbalances) due to offset pistons to allow for the connecting rods to connect with the crankshaft.
Maintenance can be challenging if packaging is tight.

3. Straight-six
BMW - Engineering Explained: The Pros And Cons Of Different Engine Types - Blog

An engineer’s object of affection, the straight-six is the result of tacking on two more cylinders to an inline four engine. BMW loves them, and it’s the layout of one of the most well-known boost-ready engines, the 2JZ. So what’s so special about the straight-six?

Advantages:

The straight-six is Inherently balanced.
The layout combined with its firing order leads to essentially the smoothest engine out there.
V12s and Flat-12s are the next step in further reducing vibration, as they are two I6s matched together.
Lower manufacturing cost - single cylinder block with all the cylinders in one orientation.
Simple design, easy to work on much like the I4.

Disadvantages:

Packaging can be difficult due to the length.
Not ideal for FWD vehicles.
High center of gravity (vs flat engines).
Lower rigidity than V engines as it’s long and narrow.

Here’s a quick video explanation of the straight-six:
4. V6
BMW - Engineering Explained: The Pros And Cons Of Different Engine Types - Blog

Now cut that straight-six in half and match the two cylinder banks to a common crank. The V6 is a common layout when there are six spark plugs involved. It’s also the current layout for Formula 1 engines. Why use it?

Advantages:

They’re compact and can easily be used for both FWD and RWD vehicles.
Allows for greater displacement than four-cylinder engines, typically meaning more power.
Rigid design.
Formula 1 chose to use V6s rather than I4s for the 2014 season because they wanted to use the engine as a stressed member of the car.

Disadvantages:

Two cylinder heads means added cost, complexity, and weight.
Additional rotational inertia and friction (more moving parts).
High centre of gravity vs flat engines.
Cost is often greater than inline.
Secondary imbalance requires additional weight on the crankshaft.
Two exhaust manifolds means additional weight.

5. V8
BMW - Engineering Explained: The Pros And Cons Of Different Engine Types - Blog

When you add a cylinder to each bank of the V6, you get an icon in both American muscle and European exotics - the V8. It can produce a refined whine, or a shuddering burble. So what makes this layout such a popular choice?

Advantages:

Packaging size (short in length).
Good balance, depending on the crankshaft type and firing order (flatplane vs crossplane).
Rigid design.
Allows for high displacement.

Disadvantages:

Like a V6, the V8 engine’s weight can be high.
Additional rotational inertia and friction (more moving parts).
Cost and complexity will be higher.
Higher centre of gravity vs flat engines.
Engine weight is usually increased.
Packaging is large, typically restricted to RWD/AWD vehicles.

Let us know below which engine type you are currently running and what you like and loathe about it.

Car Talk › Reasons Why That Range Rover Is Worth That Money ! by tonychristopher(op): 12:23pm On Nov 25, 2015
ble SUV risky? Absolutely. I mean, who else does it? Jeep? Actually, yes, Jeep has the Wrangler, but that's an iconic car, nobody's going to ever raise an eyebrow in its direction. Besides, it costs almost half the price of the Evoque Convertible and that's not an easy thing to ignore.

But here's the thing. The Evoque is a very, very special car - not just for Land Rover, but for the entire industry. The British pretty much revolutionized the premium compact segment with this thing in terms of how modern, and perhaps even futuristic, an SUV could look.

Besides, the Wrangler and the Evoque couldn't be more different. One's a rugged, retro-looking off-road machine, while the other is a stylish, ultra-modern, premium crossover that some might call an SUV. However, both models can offer their customers a little bit of "best of both worlds" action, which for some people can be priceless, especially when they've already been drawn in by the Evoque's design.

So let's run through a few of the reasons why the Range Rover Evoque Convertible is worth your money.

#1 Everybody will stop and stare at you

As with all new cars, the convertible version of the Evoque will draw a lot of attention to itself. It has the same design as the 5-door or the Coupe, but something just makes it completely different. Now what could that be? Ah yes, it's the fact that you can take the roof off at the push of a button!

Not only will this car draw attention to itself, but it will also put you, the owner, in the spotlight. People will want to know who's behind the wheel, who had the inspiration to purchase such a car at a price that might suggest you care a lot more about style than you do about practicality. Yet that's not a bad thing necessarily. Some might even get this car as their secondary ride or simply get it as a gift for a loved one because it will always send a very strong statement. In fact, a rather unique statement.

#2 Perfect for those looking to trade up from a Mini Cabrio

You know that cool group of friends who get in their Mini Cabrio and just take off to spend a couple of days at the beach? If any of them (the one who does the driving anyway) decided that enough is enough as far as taking long journeys in a small car is concerned, the new Ranger Rover Evoque Convertible would literally be the perfect car for them.

The reason for that is because the Evoque is already the 'Mini' of its segment, as far as style and social status is concerned. You buy it because you want it, not because you need it, and you know that it will make you look good wherever you go.

Besides, it might just take a couple of years off your ID, since it's generally thought of as being a Gen-Y car.

#3 Better visibility than in the regular model

If you've ever driven the Evoque, you probably realize that it doesn't exactly offer the best visibility. Don't get me wrong, it never gets to the point where you just want to take it back to the dealership and set it on fire, but if you're stuck in some irregular bumper to bumper traffic and you're in constant need of changing lanes, everyone else is struggling to do the same, it's dark and it's raining...well, it can get a little stressful inside, even for experienced drivers.

You end up relying a lot on the car's rear-view camera, even when on the move, though some countries are a lot more organized than others as far as what's acceptable to do in traffic and what isn't. So that scenario above only qualifies if you live in a place where people constantly cut you off, hardly ever let you merge, use the tram tracks as another lane and so on.

Also, I just realized that everything I just said doesn't apply anymore if it's raining outside because you can't drive around with the top down anyway, so let's just scribble out the rain part shall we? Thanks.

#4 It may just be the coolest SUV in the world

It's important to point out that the Evoque Convertible is the only premium SUV in the world which you can take to any type of destination (mountains, beach) and it will be equally at home and equally useful to you regardless of where you are.

You can't exactly drop the top off your BMW X3 while cruising in the sun, can you? Can't take a short drive towards that awesome skiing resort with the top down in a Mercedes GLC either, right? And when you're done with all that, you can park it in front of any luxury restaurant, country club or night club and nobody's going to scoff at it.

Bottom line, there's just no substituting the Evoque Convertible with anything. And you can't say Wrangler because that's not a premium product and it doesn't make this type of stylish statement. So what you end up with is a one of a kind type of car, and that's going to mean the world to its future owners.

Cars overheat most often in very hot weather. We are in a hot humid place and this harnattan wont laygh

It’s rare with modern vehicles, but even a well-tuned automobile can overheat. If you find yourself in stop-and-go traffic or climbing a steep grade on an extremely hot day, and your dashboard temperature indicator starts to rise or a malfunction indicator light comes on, here’s how to help your vehicle regain its cool:

At the first sign of overheating, shut off your air conditioner and open your windows: Doing so decreases the load on the engine and helps it cool off.

If you continue to overheat, turn on the heater and blower: Doing so transfers the heat from the engine to the passenger compartment of the vehicle. (This does wonders for your overheated engine but very little for you!)

If you’re stopped in traffic and the temperature gauge is rising, shift into Neutral or Park and rev the engine a little: Doing so makes the water pump and the fan speed up, which draws more liquid and air through the radiator. The increased air and liquid circulation helps cool things off.

Try not to ride your brakes: In stop-and-go traffic, crawl along slowly, on little more than an idle, rather than moving up and then braking repeatedly. Brake drag increases the load on the engine and makes it heat up. If traffic is crawling, move up only when the gap between you and the vehicle in front of you gets too large.

If you think that your vehicle is about to boil over, drive to the right-hand side of the road, open the hood, and sit there until things cool off. Remember, don’t open the radiator cap under these circumstances, and if your engine has boiled over, don’t add water until the engine is quite cool again.

If you must add water when the engine is still a little warm, add the water slowly while the engine is running in Neutral or Park.

Although hot weather is the most common cause of overheating, many other factors can cause the same problem. If your vehicle overheats in traffic in normal weather, one of the following may be the culprit:

The water and coolant level in the radiator is low.

There’s a leak in the cooling system.

If you can’t locate any leaks, your thermostat may be malfunctioning. Obviously, you can’t replace the thermostat at the side of the road. In the meantime, if you can park and get to the thermostat safely, you can eliminate this malfunction as a possibility. Wait until the engine cools down completely, and remove the old thermostat and reconnect the hoses without it. If the engine starts up and runs well without the thermostat, the old one was probably screwing up the works.

Get a new thermostat immediately if you find that your old one isn’t working. Driving for long distances without a thermostat can damage your engine.

Some other school of thought also believe in tropicalization of cars if you are in hot and humid places like Africa .


This might cause rich burning if there is anything like this but at least rest of mind is gguaranteed. If you can't tropicalise the engine please get a new thermo

The choice is all yours and the weather is all getting hotter

But to be honest,I have been so used to manual & enjoy its drive,if u watch my feet on the manual pedals in a sound engine,you will think I'm driving an auto,I ve even had drivers asking if my car was auto or manual as they hardly see me make use of the clutch or change gears,I think I'm very good @ driving manuals and I love them.with a manual I fear not for weak battery,transmission failure or kick starter failure,if clutch pack up @ ibadan I can still drive D car to lagos wella,meanwhile my manual cars hardly have clutch probs except I give someone else to drive
You have masters this act..my clutch has failed once that was years ago..my gears are smooth ...but how did you masters this seamless transmissions

I am interested. I am a manual buff

i've seen like two threads created specifically to champion the yoruba cause; since i was not yoruba, i didn't bother clicking on any of them. out of respect, i stayed away, and i know most Igbos would do the same, cos we hate to intrude into other peoples affairs uninvited.
The question is:

You WHY IS THIS THREAD FILLED WITH COMMENTS FROM KNOWN IGBO-HATING MONIKERS
huh undecided
as if that is not enough, they're even trying to advise us on what's best for us... shocked shocked shocked
You don't know these people ....they are so shameless . I wonder what and how they behave


I have seen that their Yoruba commonwealth thread and the abuses they abuse us ..yet I did not comment

That to me is dignity and self respect but look at them here


How can we continue to dwell with such a people that has lost all sense of dignity


It's pathetic and despicable to say the least



This is just an Igbo thread


Can't people see that ?

mind you, the whole of SE is not as big as Oyo state. Ota alone has enough industries talkless of the whole of ogun state.

Below is a video of ibos protesting in Akure after they got flogged by the deji of Akure. Look at their population just to sight a few. If akure isn't developed, do you think they will be there?
