Knificent.blogspot.com .

The function of the engine mount is to properly secure the car engine to the body of the car. There are different kinds of engine mounts depending on which car it's going to be used on. However, they all perform the same function – securing the engine to the chassis.

The engine mount comprises of metal and rubber as seen in the picture below.

When there is problem with your car engine mount, the vibrations and forces coming from the engine will be directly dealing with your car. When this happens, it would be very noticeable as you use your car.


Below are the symptoms to detect a bad or failing engine mount.

1. Engine vibration:
As said earlier, when the rubber that is meant to absorb or dampen the engine goes bad, the engine will vibrate excessively.
This vibration will distribute significantly throughout the body of the car. All these will make it very uncomfortable for the driver and passengers.

2. There would be engine movement:
With a good working engine mount, the engine should be secured to the chassis of your car. When the mount goes bad, the engine will tend to move back and forth.
This movement will be well pronounced during acceleration.

3. Noise from the engine bay:
Expect to hear various noises coming from the engine bay when the engine mount goes bad.
The noises you hear are as a result of the engine shifting and weights to the point of contact.

Are there other symptoms you noticed when the engine mount of your car went bad? Kindly tell us in the comment section.

Construction Of Transportation University To Start Very Soon - Rotimi Amaechi - Education -

Knificent.blogspot.com .

The construction of the $50 million (N18bn) Transportation University to be located in Daura, Katsina State will start by next year, the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has said.

The university is to be built by China Civil and Construction Company (CCECC) and is part of the Federal Government’s efforts to develop qualified manpower that will manage the many railways facilities across the country and other transportation facilities, Amaechi added.

The minister told journalists in Abuja recently that in addition to Katsina, another Transportation University might be built in Rivers State to meet the growing demand of manpower in the transportation sector.

He said the contract has already been awarded to CCECC and the construction would have commenced if the governor of Katsina State had provided land for it, adding that once the state government provided the land, CCECC will mobilize to site and fence the land for construction to start.

He said the young Nigerians being trained on scholarship in China on Railway Engineering upon completion of their studies would be deployed to teach in those universities for a period of time before they are allowed to do other endeavours.

“If we get the land, the fencing will start this year. The CCECC has written to ask for land from the state government,” he said.

We got to navy town hospital they said no facilities to treat him that we should go to Lagos university teaching hospital.(Luth) we got there around after six(6).

We were shouting emergency emergency emergency nobody answered not even the security were moved. Then I call a matron working there she was off duty but did her best to call some people on duty. Despite are call they didn't answer.  my brother was struggling for breath in held him telling him the we never plan to depart this way.

He was calling my name and other peoples name. I was shouting doctor pls nurse pls don't let my brother die. they didn't answer even people around that brought patients they said that is how they use to do.

Cultists chase new recruit to his home and attack his entire family and neighbors after he ran off (photos)

Knificent.blogspot.com .



The police in Lagos state have arrested a group of cultists that were carrying out new initiations into a newly formed  secret confraternity named " THE NEW BLACK MOVEMENT OF AFRICA", a breakaway faction of the AIYE cult group, at about 12am  at Jakande estate, Ajah Lagos yesterday Thursday August 6th.

A statement by the command's spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, says one of the  recruits who couldn't endure the torture and other initiation rites he was subjected, bolted for his dear life and ran to his mother's house  at Jakande estate, Ajah Lagos. Miffed by the apparent show of cowardice by the intending recruit and the fact that he may give them up to the police, the group chased him to his mother's residence and began to beat up everybody in sight, at same time, robbing residents of the estate who were woken up by their noise. 

Unfortunately for the group, the mother of the runaway boy, sneaked out of the house and a placed a distress  call to the Divisional Police Officer in charge of  Ilasan division, CSP Onyinye Onwuamaegbu who led a contingent of policemen to the estate and arrested eleven members of the group, all males;  namely, Godwin Victor, Benjamin Daniel, Saviour Anioffiong, Lawal Ibrahim, Shola Odekunle, Sodiq Olawuyi, Segun Fagbohun, Bashiru Lawal, Chinedu Francis, Wahab Adams and Ifarinde Adeniyi.       

The police team recovered the following items from the suspects, viz: one locally made shotgun, four live cartridges, three cutlasses, one sledge hammer, ten horse whips and assorted charms.

In a related development, two notorious cultists, Rasheed Yusuf aka Radical and Abel Okwo, were arrested during a supremacy  battle  between the Aiye and Eiye confraternities at Akerele street, Oworonshoki. Meanwhile, the said Abel Okwo was charged to court two months ago by the Command for cult related offences only to come back to terrorise the town the more. 

The Commissioner of Police,  Lagos State, CP Edgal Imohimi, vows that the Command will not relent in its efforts at ridding the state of members of these unlawful societies. He therefore calls on parents to hold heart to heart talks with their children, male and female alike, on the evil consequences of belonging to cult groups. He thanks Lagosians for always providing the Command with information about the activities of these outlaws and solicits for more cooperation.

Nigerian parents arrested in the US after their son dies during compulsory 40-day fast

Knificent.blogspot.com .

The parents of a 15-year-old boy were charged to court after their son died of starvation last week in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, following a 40-day fast.

Kehinde Omosebi, 49, who claims to be a pastor, and his wife Titilayo Omosebi, 47, were charged Tuesday in Sauk County with causing the child’s death through neglect. They were also charged with child neglect causing great bodily harm after another son, 11, was found alive but extremely emaciated.

The children's father told police that the family were observing a religious fast which began on July 17.

Reedsburg Police Chief Timothy Becker said police had to break through padlocked doors to reach the boys at a residence on Alexander Avenue on the west side of the city after Kehinde Omosebi alerted them on Sunday that his son had died there. Once inside, the police immediately encountered the distinct smell of a corpse, he said.

Becker added:

It wasn’t a fast, it was neglect because the statutes make it clear that you have to provide necessary food (to children).

When you lock your kids in the house and the father is the only one who can leave, it stops being a fast and starts being starvation and neglect.

Officers found the 15-year-old boy’s body in a chair in a bedroom, according to Becker. The criminal complaint said the boy was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head. The boy’s backbones and ribs were visible under his skin, it said.

Becker said:

It wasn’t like the kid was healthy on Thursday and then died on Friday. His death was a long process and his parents did nothing to stop it. That’s the most concerning thing about this.

The Omosebis’ 11-year-old son was so weak when police arrived that he couldn’t walk out of the residence on his own and had a hard time talking, according to the criminal complaint. The boy was holding onto a Bible and an envelope that police said contained pamphlets about death, which were handed out to officers when they arrived at the residence, the complaint said.

Police also found a handwritten letter in the residence with the boy's signature on it. The letter was addressed to "Lawyers of Sauk County Circuit Court" and included statements such as "The hunger is too much. Please help me now so I may eat," "I can’t continue in such a life with no food" and "If I don’t get food now I’ll probably die of hunger."

Becker said the boy was initially taken to Reedsburg Area Medical Center but was later moved to the American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison, where he has been placed in protective custody.
