Glock9:
There used to be a rapper by the name "Gino" who had this dope street song way back in the late 90's right here in Lagos.

The chorus goes like, "Everyone's a star, if you believe in you, that's what you are... Keep your head up high cos someday u gonna kiss the sky..."

I really love that track. Don't know where I can it though.

Any pointers?

It's 2023 and I'll searching for this same track. What's the track title?

The same questions I was asked. Infact the VO was basically reading out my I-20.
As he asked what were my career plans, his hands were already on the blue slip.

I just got denied today at Lagos. I was asked only two questions; when did you finish your undergraduate degree and where do you work. I was handed a blue form after the two questions, don't know where I got it wrong.

Hi guys...
I just got itted to ASU spring 2022. No funding though.

How do I go about funding.. even if it's partial.

I noticed rough idling on my Corolla 2003. Got it scanned and it threw up the P0300; Multiple Engine misfire.
I changed all four plugs, had the injectors cleaned out...
The vehicle was rescanned and the codes cleared. The check engine goes off
After driving for about 10 minutes the check engine lights again and the rough idling resurfaces.

Now the mechanic is suggesting so many things; timing chain, leaks and even dropping the engine. I'm not comfortable with his guess work...
I bought it toks August last year...

Text message but no email invite...

My 2003 Corolla threw the following codes
P0135
P0301
P0141
I noticed high fuel consumption. Also, the oxygen sensor on bank 1 wasn't connected...
Would replacing the oxygen sensor clear these codes?

GAZZUZZ:


Spiritual bro.... It's a problem disguising.... You need to consult a car Oracle nearby to listen to it before it will soro so ke

Please, do you know anywhere I can scan the vehicle in Benin?

There's this knocking sound when I press the accelerator coming from the enger side of my 05 Corolla... It stops when I take my foot off the gas... What could be wrong?

I noticed that each time I use the wipers, AC and maybe headlamps, the battery icon lights up and the power steering stops working until I switch off the AC. What could be wrong? Vehicle is a 2005 Corolla.

I've wondered same. A 2005 Nigerian used is still priced between 1.2-1.6m. A colleague bought a Nigerian used Corolla 04 in 2017 for 1.2 million today he's reselling same at 1.35.

Are there no alternatives to a Corolla?

Dog is even better.. Ever been chased by a Turkey? That animal no get respect.

thatigboman:
exactly. Happened to me with gtb too. Though I havent gotten any refund

Just give it time. I hope you get a refund too... I think going forward, before a web transaction is approved, GTBank will email you, to keep you in the know. You'd then be debited the next day, that's ample time to cancel the transaction, if you suspect it's fraudulent. That means, your email should also be safeguarded..

I had a similar experience with GTB. I use a hardware token. Never have I disclosed my PIN to anyone. Card was in my wallet the whole time the transaction was taking place. I only got to know when I got debit alerts. Instantly, I dialled *737# to at least salvage what was left... All to no avail.
I ed the bank, was directed to their fraud desk where i was given a form to fill.... After about 3 months I got a FULL refund and was advised to get a new card since the old one has been blacklisted.
I got to know that, when transacting with foreign merchants, an OTP isn't required to complete the transaction. Just the 16 digit of your card is enough.

This headline is misleading. The 1800 naira is for customers who consume less than 50kwh and are on the R1 tariff. The R1 tariff is for very low income households.

Now to the issue of capping power use, it means that, for instance a residential customer in Shomolu Business Undertaking will be billed 321Kwh at the end of the month of he uses a 3phase 4 wire connection. The bill will this be 321*21.80 = 6997.80 +7.5% VAT = 7522.64.
NB. Cost of tariff in Ikeja Electric for R2T is 21.80 and it differs from one Disco to another.

I think NERC is trying to force the hands of the disco to meter asap. Newsflash, one Disco conducted a POC to meter all customers on its 11KV feeder and the Substation DTRs. At the end of the day, revenue did not improve owing to technical losses which would require heavy investments over a long time.

Discos are in for it.

Did you say manual transmission? The picture says otherwise. I'll pay 1M.

List is out.

That extinguisher should be pointed to the base of the fire.

This current system cannot hold for another 5 years. The GENCOS will one day come to a grinding halt. The 11 discos owed a combined 348 billion to the GENCOs as at 2018, the figure would have doubled by 2020. Remittance to the market operator by the 11 discos stood at 31%. In essence, of the total cost of the energy generated only 31% is paid for by the discos. Since the generated energy cannot be stored the GENCOs are agitating to sell the power to reliable buyers and neighbouring counties.

Some private estates in Lagos charge a tariff over 70 naira per kWh of energy. The discos are asking for a cost reflective tariff which the government, thru NERC is unwilling to do. It is not done anywhere that the government fixes the price for energy. Saying that Nigerians would be unable to pay above a certain tariff, citing minimum wage and all is not being objective. However, if the customer is metered, he can decide on how much power he can consume and is able to pay for.

I'm against a buy back. Let the customers be metered first. Then full deregulation should follow.

A geninue people hardly vying for any post in Nigeria because he or she knew itis roforofo battle of the titans.The DSS has gone soar,weak and deviated from their common assignment, unlike those days when we knew them to be SSS,they do infiltrate a lot criminals den, society,schools and do a lot on background check on individual who is vying for electives post.Nowadays it has been hijacked by president and his family..Wadume as a Senator...!

For the DSS, intelligence gathering involves breaking into of the opposition's homes at the wee hours. That terrorism and kidnapping continue unabated really questions the motive of the DSS in today's democracy.

In Nigeria, criminals are heavily guarded by both the police and other security agencies. Imagine if Wadume had won the elections... He would have access to the police, DSS, to do his bidding. Someone's I don't feel pity for the police... When the public gathered to protest the state of fthings in the country, the shot and maimed them, forgetting that what affects the eyes, still also affect the nose.
Another disturbing headline is the one where a police DPO paid the random for his own kidnap.
We are officially in a banana Republic. We have altogether become victims of our own corruption.

GTB should stop sending spam messages. My other phone line which isn't tied to my GTB keeps receiving SMS from *737#

I think the arrest of the suspect would have led to the indictment of several key persons hence the order from above to rescue the suspect at all costs.

Our security agencies have been compromised.

To those of us that held on to our Bitcoin in the face of heartbreaking losses.. now is the time to smile.

In the same vein, why should one pay for a school prospectus. UNIBEN PG prospectus is 5k. The prospectus is even sold after you've gained ission... If this isn't fraud then I dunno what else is. Schools abroad will readily mail you a full-coloured prospectus for you to make an informed decision on the course and school you wish to study in...

It's when you don't have money that you'd have sense... When allocation from FG land, Na that time them go reason their pocket first..

Without twitter I guess nairaland won't be this popular...

Quick one, in the section Are you a recipient of any scholarship? is it current scholarships or scholarships awarded at undergraduate level?

Those miles quoted are believable, not like other dealers that post same with mileage below 50k for a vehicle manufactured in 2004 and preowned.
Like many others, I'd like to know cost estimates for clearing and customs docs....
And a testimony too...
Btw I need a Yaris 2005.
