Made-in-Nigeria Hyundai Grand: A mix of art and innovation

The Hyundai Grand does prove a point that a comfortable and spacious car doesn’t have to be cumbersome. And that exactly was Hyundai Motors’ conviction when it went to the drawing board to design this exceptionally cultured budget car that has become the toast of most automobile freaks worldwide.

The feature–packed Hyundai Grand responds to every expectation with alluring cabin colour, textures and shape that lend it a sport appeal that could easily make any large car envious.

From whatever angle you view this car, it is evident the Grand was crafted to meet utmost degree of needs.

The Grand is a whole new level of art plus innovation, which ordinarily gives the car an unimaginable feel.

Head of sales and marketing at Hyundai Motors Nigeria, Mr. Jatin Nadkarni affirmed this as he took delivery of the first set of Hyundai Grand cars assembled at the Hyundai Motors Nigeria plant in Lagos.

He said: “The world is changing every day, so we decided to also change the way people communicate with each other by introducing the Hyundai Grand – a car that lets you share a new language with the world.”

And true to his words, the Grand shows a sharp styling with a whole new level of innovation that attest to the brilliantly crafted exterior which leaves an everlasting impression on all those who catch a glimpse of it.

The newly designed clear headlight clusters for instance, not only look good, they improve your night vision and on-road visibility with extra safety.

Hyundai Grand is also equipped with chrome-coated radiator grille positioned to perfection to project strong presence.

The outside mirror repeaters are aerodynamically sculpted while the outside mirror is ornamented with LED repeaters for enhanced looks and safety.

Inside the car, the front and rear seating ergonomically designed bucket type front seats gives the car a premium feel with spacious and cushioned rear seats and adjustable headrests assure ample support and comfortable seating.

This is in addition to the liberal boot space to accommodate a weekend luggage with bench folding function that provides an extra flat load space.

Powered by a dual CVVT Kappa 1.25litre all-aluminum engine that emits quiet and smooth operation, the Grand will delight drivers looking for exceptionally low weight cars that maximize fuel consumption.

Manufactured only in petrol variant for the Nigerian market, the Grand offer light weight and robust five-speed manual transmission that enhances smooth and accurate gearshift for optimum performance.

The Grand’s aerodynamic designed bumper reduces forward air flow resistance and the rear spoiler effect enhances fuel economy and driving stability.

The Grand may be compact in looks; its makers did not compromise on safety. The structural safety of the Grand utilizes anti corrosive steel, ring structure application to enhance the rigidity and body robustness while its Anti-lock brake system (ABS) prevents skidding and retains the car’s steer ability on slippery surfaces. This mechanism also enables stable braking and restricts wheel lock-up during panic braking.

Ikimi should learn to accept majority wish – Eta

The National Vice Chairman (South South) of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Hilliard Eta, has described the exit of Tom Ikimi from the party as unfortunate.

He added that the former minister should accept the fact that majority would always have their way.

Eta, who is the successor to Tom Ikimi, who was the former interim National Vice-Chairman, of the party, said he ought to have allowed the wish of the majority in the party to prevail instead choosing “to stand alone in this course for which he joined to initiate.”

A press release from the office of the National Vice Chairman (South-South), said although the leadership respects the decision of the former vice chairman of the party, he had “such a rich background and democratic credentials to ventilate his position and interest.”

The statement, titled: ‘On Chief Tom Ikimi’s withdrawal from APC’, and signed by Bassey Ita, media aide to Eta, reads:  “Chief Tom Ikimi, Nigeria’s former External Affairs Minister and until recently a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, last Tuesday [August 26, 2014], submitted a letter to the national echelon of our great party purporting to withdraw his membership of the party on account of issues that are personal to him.

“As former National Chairman of the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC) and also former Interim National Vice-Chairman, South-South of the APC, Chief Ikimi has such a rich background and democratic credentials to ventilate his position and interest whatsoever at least to buoy his continued relevance in politics and statecraft.

“However, where such position and interest attempt to wrestle against the collective destiny of the majority, Chief Ikimi would better understand that the majority would always have their way.

“As the National Vice-Chairman South-South of APC, I do not condemn the decision of my predecessor to withdraw from the party based on personal conviction and especially if the progressive environment for which he sojourned has been unfriendly for him to achieve his personal political ambition.”

WOW: 36-Year-Old Skeleton Removed From Woman’s Belly

Doctors in India were shocked when they discovered the 36-year-old skeleton of a baby inside a woman.

Kantabai Thakre was 24 years old when she got pregnant in 1978 but it was an ectopic pregnancy.

Doctors asked her to have the baby removed through surgery but she fled out of fear and opted for treatment at a small clinic near her village.

After a few months, the pain subsided and she thought all was well.

However, last week, 36 years after the event, she started having pains again and so she visited the NKP Salve Institute of Medical Services.

Doctors found a lump on her abdomen and at first feared cancer but a scan showed that it was in fact a baby’s skeleton.

The skeleton has been removed and this is believed to be the longest ectopic pregnancy ever recorded.

How To Know You’ve Found The Perfect Wedding Dress

If you’re planning a wedding and eager to finally say yes to the dress, you definitely need to keep an eye out for the biggest signs you found your wedding dress.

This is one of the most important garments you’ll ever buy. The brides are the stars of the show and the dress is the standout. You might have to shop around a little more; you might have to try on two dresses, or twenty.

Regardless of how long it takes, if you recognize the signs you found your wedding dress, pounce on it as quickly as possible!

  1. IT FLATTERS YOUR FIGURE: Naturally, a fit that flatters your figure is one of the surest signs you found your wedding dress. We don’t mean that it fits well and doesn’t need a lot of alterations, We mean that it just fits you. It hides all of your perceived flaws but effortlessly brings out all your best features. If you’re short, it makes you feel statuesque. If you’re full figured, it makes you feel elegant and gorgeously voluptuous. If you’re very slim, it makes you look fit for the runway – or, conversely, it gives you curves where you fear you have none. It’s perfect, in a word, and it fits every inch of you.
  2. THERE’S NOT A THING YOU WOULD CHANGE: Okay, so that’s a little extreme. You might need to hem it or take it in a bit, or you may want to add a few purely personal touches. However, when you find a dress that’s perfect as is – as in, there’s no sash you’d remove, you love the neckline, you adore the way it falls, you don’t want to get rid of the straps, et cetera – then you know. If you’ve nitpicked over every other dress but can’t find a bad thing to say about this one, then just say yes!
  3. NO ONE ELSE’S OPINION MATTERS: We’re not saying that you shouldn’t consider anyone else’s opinion, of course, because naturally you want to know what your mom thinks, and your besties, your maid of honour, and maybe even your bride or groom. What we’re saying is that when you slip into The Dress, you know it’s perfect.
  4. BUT YOU TAKE EVERYONE’S BREATH AWAY: That being said, many times, The Dress will take everyone’s breath away – even your sales associate’s, and not just because he or she gets paid to tell you that you look stunning. You can see it in everyone’s eyes when you walk out of the dressing room, and you know those gasps and swoons are sincere because you feel that way too.
  5. YOU INSTANTLY ENVISION THE ENTIRE CEREMONY: When you slip into your perfect dress, you see your entire ceremony. You envision yourself walking down the aisle in that dress, you witness your first kiss with your beloved, you see yourself dancing the night away at the reception. It all plays out, with your dress standing center stage, and you know that no other dress will do.
  6. IT FITS EVERYTHING YOU NEED: What we mean here is that your ultimate perfect dress is likewise perfect for what you need. If you’re getting married on the beach, it’s light and airy and comfortable. If you’ve got a 1920s theme, your dress makes you look like you just stepped out of the pages of The Great Gatsby. If you’re indeed going to be dancing all night, it provides you with plenty of comfort and movement. It just fits.
  7. YOU FEEL LIKE A GODDESS: And the most important sign that you’ve found the dress in which you’re going to get married? It makes you feel like the goddess you are. You slip into it and you feel stunning. Not only that, but you know you look gorgeous, and you know that everyone will think you look gorgeous. You look in the mirror and you see no flaws. You just see yourself, radiant and beautiful and ready for your best big day.

Every bride is different and every bride wants different things.

You might have several dresses earmarked before you start shopping, only to find that they don’t feel right at all.

That’s no problem. When you find your dress, you’ll know.

Longest Neck: Meet The ‘Giraffe Boy’

 Chinese boy has been living with intense pain due to having 10 vertebrae in his neck instead of 7.

15-year-old Fu from Beijing has been called “Giraffe Boy” because of his long neck.

Wengui, who lives in Beijing, can barely walk well due to the extra pressure on his neck.

‘These vertebrae press on the nerves in his neck and make it difficult for him to walk,’ ‘He always causes a stir whenever he goes out.’

The teen has been diagnosed with congenital scoliosis and abnormal chest frame and is now set to have corrective surgery to fix the problem.

He said: ‘I just hope I can have a normal neck.’

Bursted: Nigerian Politicians Are Funding Boko Haram, Negotiator opens up

An international adviser from Australia has opened up on his dangerous 4-month stay in Nigeria.

63-year-old Stephen Davis has worked for 2 Nigerian presidents and established extensive contact with terrorist groups in Africa.

According to him, when he found out about the Chibok girls’ abduction, he made a decision to help. That decision almost cost him his life.

Davis said:

“When confronted by groups with an AK-47 in my face they’d say, ‘you are American, we have to kill you’,”. “When you say, no I’m not American, they think you are British, and say you will still die, but when I said I’m Australian, they said that’s all right. “I have no idea why but it’s certainly been helpful.”

“I made a few phone calls to the Boko Haram commanders and they confirmed they were in possession of the girls,” he said.

“They told me they’d be prepared to release some as a goodwill gesture towards a peace deal with the government, so I went to Nigeria on the basis of being able to secure their release.”

“The girls were there, 60 girls, there were 20 vehicles with girls,” he said.

“We travelled for four-and-a-half hours to reach them, but 15 minutes before we arrived they were kidnapped again by another group who wanted to cash in on a reward.

“The police had offered a reward of several million Naira just 24 hours before we went to pick them up.

“I understand, from the Boko Haram commanders I spoke to, the girls eventually ended up back with them. I don’t know what happened to the group that took them but I suspect it wasn’t good.”

“It became very clear that if I was able to get 50 girls released then another group would kidnap 70 or 80 more,” he said. “So by freeing 50 you were consigning 70 or 80 more to the same fate.”

“Boko Haram used to telephone Nigerian journalists and give them a story, but that doesn’t happen anymore,”  “They go straight to social media. They post their own material and they’ve learnt to become very savvy on social media and use it as an instrument to terrorize.”

Dr. Davis added that the only way to stop Boko Haram is to cut off their funding, which according to him is majorly gotten from bank raids and Nigerian politicians.

“That makes it easier in some ways as they can be arrested, but of course the onus of proof is high and many are in opposition, so if the president moves against them, he would be accused of trying to rig the elections due early next year,” he said.

“So I think this will run through to the election unabated.

“These politicians think that if they win power they can turn these terrorists off, but this has mutated.

“It’s no longer a case of Muslims purifying by killing off Christians. They are just killing indiscriminately, beheading, disembowelling people – men, women and children and whole villages.

The over 200 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram on April 14 have still not been found.
