What is Afonja and Dauda's problem with Nnamdi kanu ?
You said igbos are troublesome, you said we are tribalist ,then let us go in peace!!
Even in the headies award all top prices goes to Afonjas, in politics the dauda's and Afonja run it.
Ibeto, GMO ,ifeanyi uba and all the top business men have been ran to the ground so the Afonja and dauda will take over everything.
Igbo states get less revenue than many unproductive and underdeveloped Yoruba states, filled with people just breeding children and engaging in fetish practices.
We built your cities, we made Lagos, we made Abuja, what can we do to be accorded a little respect?
Just let us go, we are tired of this abusive relationship with Nigeria. [/s]

Bede2u:
Kanu along with many others stood their ground when u broke into his house. You killed them and called them cowards.
I know what happened to Kanu and Igbos will soon happen to Yorubas and Niger Deltans, so that the south can finally unite and cut Aboki to size

enet1:
Is it automatic or manual transmission? Which year is the model of this car? Lastly can you bring this car to lagos for inspection ?

Red flags to look our for in an engine when buying a car.

Preferably do not rush to start engine, check engine oil level via dipstick, if engine oil colour is very new, be careful! Engine might have been recently rebuilt. Most people who want to sell their cars, do not bother with engine oil changes, and just want to sell of and allow new user do the needful.

Engine oil level should preferably be close to the upper mark on the dipstick, if on the lower mark, engine is either burning oil or leaking oil.

Oil colour should not be black, this signifies abuse by user or a sludge buildup or oil burn.
Engine oil colours to look out for are clear, brown, honey gold, dark brown.

Try and avoid black.

Next do a visual inspection of engine, look out for fresh silicone gum.

When engines are built stock, there is a particular colour/weight of silicone gasket maker used on mating surfaces.

When engine is brand new, colour is off-white / light grey.

Now what you are looking out for is stock silicone over flow from oil pan, timing chain cover, and possible oil pump areas if visible.

In this part of the world we do not have easy access to same type of factory silicone used so if engine has been worked on in the past, you might get to see colours like black, blue, clear, white...... if you find this on areas like timing chain cover, engine oil pan, it signifies previous work on engine.

Also look out for no silicone . Sounds funny, but yes. When working some technicians clean off excess flow of silicone after it cures, giving a better aesthetic look. No silicone on mating surface means engine was worked on previously.

Next inspect the head gasket...

All engines leave the factory with steel type head gasket. It is extremely flat and made out of metal.

In most cases when an engine is rebuilt or if it suffers overheating, the gasket is replaced with composite type, usually made from graphite. This gasket is thicker and can be easily identified.

Next inspect for engine oil leaks....

Some oil leaks are expected in high mileage engines, from valve cover gaskets and oil seals. But the cost of fixing a oil leaks vary. While it might cost you about 5k for a valve cover oil leak and take about 30mins to replace on a 4cylinder, a crankshaft oil leak coming from the flywheel area of a V8 will require and engine drop and might cost you over 50,000 in labour costs so it is essential to avoid the costly leaks

Let me also mention that finding transmission oil leaks from flywheel area in this part of the world is a death sentence to the transmission (Gearbox) as only a few people I know can source the correct parts and install torque converter seals properly.

Next look out for different colours......

When an engine leaves the factory (most recent full aluminium engines) they look like this.....www.nairaland.com/attachments/6233574_img20170928184845_jpeg6d3a042b41f9f3ff39cd15999fc3a8afwww.nairaland.com/attachments/6233577_img20170928184756_jpeg5bf247ce91cff4ddd1b5fc3fef7cb4a0www.nairaland.com/attachments/6233581_img20170928184940_jpeg2470277a196c77495270251720108061

Not every engine is made of aluminium, some have steel/cast block engines and aluminium tops.

Now when inspecting and you find one part newer than the other, it signifies a part was replaced. It is normal to replace a defective part, e.g starter motor, water pump, p/s pump, alternator... but when the timing chain cover is newer than the cylinder, or the cylinder is newer than the aluminium block, then a serious operation took place in the life of the vehicle. If she's been bleaching, don't take her home

Next check coolant level and type......

If water is used, owner is not the careful type, not a death sentence, but better if you observe coloured coolant.

If coolant or water is below normal level in the radiator, there is a problem, there might be a leak or engine burning coolant .

Next open boot and go through all the stuff in it, it most times reveals the life support vehicle gets

Let me explain further...

If you find cans of brake oil, powersteering oil, engine oil, small keg of water, sparkplugs, coils, ATF.... it is either owner meticulously keeps them for just in case, or na daily topping ritual

Now time to start the engine............

GAZZUZZ:
I actually jumped this step, it is very important before going to inspect a vehicle, it narrows down the decision making.

Background research on availability/Price of parts.




You see a topic like this and you jump at it

This particular vehicle is prone to 2 problems.

A failing cooling Fan Harness, this causes the Fans to fail, and the engine to overheat.

Also Front impact causes the radiator's expansion tank to come into contact with the compressor, most users do no realize on time and after driving a few weeks overheating occurs.

Engine is made of aluminium (top and bottom) severe overheating and it begins to rattle, smoke and does not do very well with rebuilds.

Price Tag of engine N600,000 (tokumbor)

The second problem associated with this same type of vehicle is its air conditioning.

The compressors Fail at about 40-50,000km, Most technicians are scared of putting the factory spec setup, and use manual compressors, this causes premature belt wear, engine drag, and messy wiring.

Cost of toks compressor N60,000

New compressor N150,000

Next example

Toyota camry 2007-2009 V6.

Major issue to look out for Failing transmission

Cost of TOKs N550,000

Another popular example
Honda accord 2003-2007 V6

Major issue to look out for, Failing transmission.

Note the problems associated with transmission failure on most cars are easily avoidable if proper preventive maintenance is carried out and driving habits are normal.


So basically before buying any car, do a small research into the cost of its most expensive parts, ensure you verify that the Vehicle you are about to buy does not have those issues, and if it does, factor it into the cost of vehicle, then weigh your options, Does it fit your budget after paying for parts and labour?


On to the next 1....

Just because you grew up seeing your father sodomised is not a good reason to assume others partake in the practices of your lineage!
This is a public forum and some of us don’t share your low life tendencies, sometimes we post news to get verification.
Some more reasonable person simply said it was fake news with proof that he listened to radio Biafra today but you had to use your fathers name to insult me. Watch your mouth tout!

Long time no see, not to flavour o, but to his six packs.

You must hear the truth whether you like it or not, obiano is speaking based on records he has, can you provide your alternative record?

maclatunji:
Why are you guys so clueless like this? People have voted, election results are being collated, some electoral offenders have been arrested, a winner will emerge.

Meanwhile you are celebrating what exactly?

GAZZUZZ:
there should be 3 pipes from fuel tank, 1 to deliver fuel to injector rail, other to return fuel to tank, and last one to take vacuum from intake to fuel tank. Primary suspect is the vacuum line and the solenoid powerd valve attached to it. It might be stuck open.

cockcrowatdawn:
you that is mature go and vote na,pathetic and confused souls claiming to be wise,since that you have been voting what have you achieved? you vote you no vote inec and politicians will still rig,we have proven to zombies that we are no longer part of the electoral shenanigans. if igbos can be prospering under the wickedness of the almighty dullard we will prosper under any leader.goan hang yourselves or drink otapiapia

magoo10:
honestly I don't understand how you guys are seeing this whole thing. What will you gain by forcing them to vote and at the end of the day the ballot boxes get snatched and their votes don't count.

magoo10:
somebody said his votes have not been counting, after elections it is selection, he doesn't want to vote again how does that become a problem.

magoo10:
Thank you, we will be more naive and foolish if we vote and our votes don't count

freedomchild:
When we say we want Biafra they thought we're joking... Igbos are people who have common destiny and pursue their course in unison.. This is just the beginning.. By the time we finish boycotting of elections, we'll bring out another strategy to the actualization of our dreamland. It's not about individuals, it's about the ideology. Jubrin should understand that we're really prepared for this.

magoo10:
A new political ideology is about to be birth in the southeast.

Some people call them foolish but I call them wise, enough is enough.

Ask yourself what has all the voting brought us other than abandonment and brazen display of wickedness by politicians. When this is done repeatedly in the east the world will get the message by force.
