Is it safe to top up transmission oil after a car has been driven and engine is still warm?
Honda suggest to let your engine reach optimum temperature and wait for 90secs to guage the transmission oil. If it's not guaged, you can add or top it up. It's only engine I know it's not good to guage while still hot.

Now my questions are;
Seller is swearing that his car wasn't overheating hitherto.
1) is it my Kazeem's fault that he couldn't spot the overheating till it got that bad?
2) Car is parked at Agege and we are asked to return on Tuesday (I've paid for everything including even to fix the dashboard (37k). Who is to cover these expenses? Especially as the car didn't even follow me to my state let alone home? The seller or me?
3) is 37k not overcharged for a dashboard? (Asking for future's purpose not like I can get the money back.
4) We've scanned the car and it's alright save for the overheating. My confusion is, could the overheating (radiator was leaking water) have started few minutes of us driving from Ikorodu or it has most definitely been an issue before now? Abi my Kazeem is just an overrated idiot.

As long as all you guys did was to inspect and test drive, the problem has been there before. That car does no overheat any how unless the engine is running for a long time that is when you got to know, and I'm sure you people didn't keep the engine running for a very long time before you pay.

I've once driven same car from lekki to Iyanaoworo with traffic along Alexander without knowing my fans are not working and I didn't pay attention to the temperature gauge. It was when I was hearing boiling and whistling sound from the radiator reservoir that I got to know it's over heating yet nothing burn.

It's not your Kazeem's fault buying 9ja used car is a gamble. I hope the fault stops after fixing.

Also was your instrument cluster not working or it's blank that you guys couldn't see why it was overheating

I'm trying to secure an account for proof of fund for issuance of form I-20 but my question is, hope this deficit won't raise a concern with the VO?

Hello everyone,
I received admission and scholarship offer today from new haven university. It states i've been awarded a 20% percent dean scholarship for a National Security, MS Programme.

Is this a scholarship or discount. Do i need to apply seperate for assistantship?

Hey 🤠

1. Your calling and appealing is not enough , and i did not mean you should negotiate with money directly but you can use your wisdom in that aspect . Most of our past teachers usually thinks by the time you started using Bentley you won't remember me and follows the Yoruba adage ( Êni tí ó bamã ã têlè tútù yío dâmī síwájú) .

2. USA (especially), Canada and Australian institutions and workplaces place great value on reference letters and recommenders because they don't know you and you are coming from a foreign background . They don't want a student or workers who will get to the class or office and open fire on their counterparts .

3. Check the complaint of @Harkstntunz, and the conversation among @deewhydoski, miscoe and Neondee above , they are complaining of hesitation in admission decisions . If you have straight As in WAEC, graduated with 1st class and score 600 in GRE and lack good recommenders your admission might be flopped.

5. If the lecturer is adamant and your admission time is galloping away then approach another lecturer . Your recommender needs official email to respond to your host school in the USA ie mrjoshua@covenantuniversity.edu.ng

6. How will your friend do that ? You may try to use internet tools and IP to mimmick some stuffs but it may not work as you want . ** Visit your school in person if you are not living far .


Best Wishes 🙏
Thanks chief, so I called him again and I realized that it was the number of schools to send recommendations to that was overwhelming for him, hence the reluctance. I applied to about 5-6 schools. So he promised to send them this weekend that I should not worry. Thanks for the encouragements

Remove him and use someone else. Go to your application page and change it.

You don’t have to use 3 academic reference. You can use one from your supervisor.
Thanks for the advise. I'll wait till the weekend, if he didn't do it. I'll change him

Hey 🤠

1. You cannot hasten or rush your former lecturer or any genuine recommender into action (nonchalant..feeling relax ) but you can only plead to him or her the urgency or timeline of his contribution.

2. Yes you can remove him and use your friend as a counterfeit recommender but unfortunately for both of you , you must provide an official email for your friend (ie oladayo4@unilag.edu) on your application portal before your host University can accept your application . Academic recommenders (lecturers , HOD, etc) must use an official email where your host-University would send an exclusive messages to regarding your academic and character histories .

3. I know more than 15 different types of recommendation templates for international admissions but i won't write it out for you because IT IS ILLEGAL.

4. Why not humble yourself and call the 3rd lecturer by narrating the urgency of the situation . You may tip him if necessary or travel down to your Alma Mata and see him in person .


Best Wishes 🙏
Thanks for your advise. The truth is I've called and appealed to him severally. What I don't understand is why will he give me his details to submit as on of my recommenders and when it's time for him to recommend, he's acting the way he's doing. Attempting to compensate him financially will be disrespectful to him because this is someone who always exhibit high sense of moral values.

Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue currently. I used 3 lecturers as my recommenders. Currently 2 of them has been helpful by sending their recommendations, but the last person is showing nonchallant attitude. I don't know if I can remove him and use a friend as my 3rd recommender.

Also can anyone please share with my an example or template of a recommendation letter for admission?

Hey 🤠


God is the over all boss.

1. Okay i got you . It does not mean. Ok let's simulate this occurrence; an MSc holder (in History) has being working in an oil company for the past 4 years , and he just decided this year that OKAY I WANT TO GO FOR MY Phd...

2. Will the embassy denied him visa because he has been working in an oil company ? The answer is NO !

3. Genuiness of purpose is what the VO needs ....The VO wants you to explain why you are living a well paying job for PhD ?

**** Not why were you not teaching History in Corona School ? You grasp it ?

4. Part of your answer might be something like .... I would have continue my PhD program after my MSc certification but i wanted to save up some substantial amount for my personal use .....etc

5. ...I was not fulfilling my career goals by working in the oil company , my aim and goals in life is to become a renown educationist and that goals cannot be achieve without me going for this PhD .....

PS ;. Just some ways you can align this with your situation.



Best Wishes 🙏
I'm really grateful for these ideas. Thanks so much. I will surely reach out again

Hey 🤠


1. Yes you can get a fully funded scholarship in the US as a graduate of political science but with meeting some Admission criteria (ie standardized tests, your CGPA , etc).

2. Your current job does not have to be related to political science before you can be admitted in a graduate study in the US or anywhere .

**** If that is the condition of every graduate school, then a Mechanical Engineering graduate who is working in a bank will not take the job except if he or she does not have future plan to further his or her education .

****** Personal Statement OR Statement of Purpose (SOP) is one of the most relevant part of graduate enrollment requirements.

****Work Experience only tells your Host-Institution your outstanding abilities regardless of your CGPA. It helps best when you have demonstrated excellent leadership skills, research qualities and motivation while working for a well known organisation or industry.

3. Your question number 3 is another version of your question number 2, therefore, it's a repetition.

4. If you want to apply as self sponsored , then you must have a savings in your account ..at worst 1st year tuition in Naira equivalent.... OR Naira equivalent of any deficit (balance) that remains if you are not able to receive full funding .

***** If your employer , family or any other person will be responsible as your sponsor , then you do not need to have much in your savings , all you need to do is to take such sponsor's financial statement along to the embassy on the day of your Interview.

Please I would like to be schooled on the following
1. if as a graduate of political science I can get a fully funded
scholarship in the US.
2. My current job is not in anyway related to my course of study.
3. I have not taken up any job related to community service or NGOs
4. I bearly have savings in my account.

With what I have read so far, must I be able to link my work experience and the graduate course I'm planning to study even without any relationship?

Lol if I was would I come here and put up this post askin for advice, cmon be smart at least. I don’t wanna be unrealistic reason I came here also I’ve seen post of Uber drivers making 45k per day minus fuel and Uber commission so let’s calculate. If he works for 6 days times 45 that’s how 270k. But I was thinking can this be real? If not everybody for don join Uber since ma why I came here to have insight from people who are in the business full time especially now fuel don go up. My target is at least 250k a month!! Anything less I just sell my car.
Just do the needful and sell the car to avoid stories. People who make those amounts you are reading about spends close to 12hrs on the wheel.
It's not realistic.

Ok , just came across this thread. Pls I need honest opinions o…abt to give my 2010 Corolla to a friend for Uber / bolt earnings. But I still dey get double mind. My target is 80k - 100k per week frm him. Whatever he makes on top is for him. Pls I need those people who are still in the business to advise me if it’s a good thing. Don’t worry abt trust I knw am reach house and he’s someone that maintains car very well, my concern is the profit turn out. Left to me I won sell the car put money for business but I need another source of income aside my main business. All your advice is welcomed.
Bro, you are nothing but a slaver.
Use same car to hustle for a week, remove commission, fuel and feeding, then pay 80k to your other account and whatever is left you can take it as yours.

Seunthewriter:
Please, who has any suggestions concerning Adekunle Ajasin University's transcript. I paid for the student's copy yesterday, but a mail wasn't sent to me and when I tried accessing the site today, I wasn't able to.

Has anyone ever used the online platform to get their transcript or do I need to travel to the school to get it?

Please, this is urgent.
Oga, you will need to travel to the school and get it o with a print out of your online profile.
When I applied for my own online, I didn't hear anything from them, it was when I went to the school for my degree certificate I used the opportunity to visit exams and records along Yaradus.
Them no even print my own but I didn't blame them. Those that they printed, nobody to collect them. I dropped my printout and phone number. When it was ready, they called me and gave me option of taking picture of it and sending it to my WhatsApp or scanning it and sending in pdf format to my email. The first option is free, the 2nd option I paid 1k for scanning.
Good luck
