So many public transportation vehicles in Philippines have been from parts of drive trains brought in from japan and china.. They rebuild them and then build a new vehicle body on the drive train at the welders shop.. It doesn't look very beautiful but they have benefitted from cheap vehicles made there from scavenged parts of imports... Its a viable industry and more recent builds in philippines have come out with very appealing designs.. The one in this Nigeria post is not far from an appealing body design.. Maybe a few generation models away from a real masterpiece... Only the lack of money for research and development, the ingenuity is there...

It adds load to the engine as long as it is connected to the belt drive off the engines drive pulley system.. Any load on the engine is wear to the engine.. But as some one said, if you are not concerned about carrying the load of another passenger or load in the back, then you should not worry..
Just turning off the AC to save money from petrol, then you go and eat extra good food with that saved money and then add some fat to your body, the extra weight will add load back to the engine when you enter the car .. Using high quality synthetic engine oil can take wear off the engine and save petrol cost and make for easier AC load on the car... Just be sure the AC system is according to the Manufacturers specifications if you want to be efficient with it.. If you don't really care for AC, then by all means remove the compressor with account for the gap in the belt tension on the pulleys.. Maybe require a new size belt or adjustment of the pulleys if the compressor comes out with its' pulley attached..
Another thing is to be sure the drive belts are well tensioned (not so much or so little) and pulleys rotate with minimal resistance, that will take load off the engine.. Brake calipers can tighten the resting grip to put load on the wheels and require more engine work to go forward.. The tires also put load, get efficient tires.... Many things can add up to take load off the engine..

Compressor relies on the engine rotation to work.. If its only working at high speed, then something is wrong with the compressor.. And you have put gas in ,so that eliminates the chance that there is not enough gas being compressed under idle power..
Its the compressor not managing with only idle power.. The compressor has lost its compression loading.. Like an old tire pump that only pumps well when you pump it vigorously.. when they are new, the hand pumps will pump and hold compression even with slow steady pressure applied, because the seals in the compression chamber are still in a tight fit with no leaks...

Yeah, don't change by the month, change by the distance driven.. If you are not driving 3k-5k miles in three months, then you can change your oil every three months... That is if you use regular or low quality engine oils... Just look at the oil color every few days or every day is good to catch if ever leaks begin...
If you switch to synthetic, it will cost more but needs less change and it will make the engine smoother which means reduce engine load and even small improvement in the petrol used over one month.. The extra cost will certainly be recovered in the overall benefits it provides...
I used to spend 10-12 dollars a day on petrol for my daily drive, when i switched to synthetic, it was about 10 a day and some rare instances of putting 12 per day.. When i changed my Brake Calipers, i also noticed improved fuel because my old calipers had a bit of a drag on my car and cost me gasoline when i used to spend minimum 12 a day on petrol.. The money spent on new brake calipers, saved me the money i burned in gas to power through the tight grip of the bad brake calipers... So will synthetic oil smother engine function save petrol use and money spent...

If you tried wheel balance, then you are left with two more simple options..

Before considering alignment, Have some one sit at the steering of the car and then have another lay under the front of the car and put their eyes and Ears into the front end drive system and especially the steering tie rods where they connect to the wheel spindle and also where they connect to the rack and pinion( the hydraulic piston used to push the steering tie rods)... The tie rods are joined in a ball joint configuration and over time the ball loosens the core it sits in.. Its starts early signs with vibration at high speeds and exactly like a poor balancing of the tires..
But as time goes on ,it gets worse and very dangerous as one day the tie rod is forced out of place at speed and the side that goes out looses all steering control and very deadly senario..

The test is to have some one listen under the car around the sterring mechanisms ,tierods and rack and pinion.. All the way from the wheel spindle of one tire all the way over to the other and the rack and pinion is in the center between the two front tires..
Have some one at the steering giving very small jerks to the steering to make the wheels move strong short movements.. Very small movements but hard jerk of the wheel... If there is a loos tie rod joint of gap anywhere in the steering linkage, it will make a small or big clicking sound even before the tire gets a chance to respond with movement...

If you hear the clicking, you must look for it to see it in action.. It may be covered with a rubber bushing or sleeve and not visible due to grease and dirt... If you hear it there, then test again and be sure its consistent sound and that you locate it... Then take your car to have the tie rods replaced and it is best to replace boths sides and some cars like subaru require the entire rack and pinion with tie rods to be removed and its costly.. Most cars allow tie rods to be replaced while keeping the rack and pinon.. Have the car checked for the tie rod and rack and pinion, ITS NO JOKING MATTER, its one of the most fatal mishaps to have due to lack of repair.. If there is only one thing you repair on your car, make sure its always the tie rods to the rack and pinion...At least with no brakes, you can steer away from most accidents.. Its worse with no steering....

I have gone through this problem with two cars, one subaru and just recently the mazda copy of ford ranger.. Subaru was no cheap fix.. The Mazda was as are most cars, needing only tie rod replacements...

I would always do this steering test first for clicking sounds while parked, if i don't observe any sounds or gaps, then its simply balance and alignment..
I also had a sound more like a high frequency thumping in the wheel but it didn't vibrate the steering, it only offset the steering alignment..That problem was abad ball joint and it prevented even a proper alignment service from restoring my steering wheel to proper center... The ball joint sounds where not so bad or as dangerous as the tie rod issue but any vibration and imbalance allowed to persist in the steering and tire stability during driving motion, it will put undue strain on the tie rods and make them more subject to dangerous loosening..

People will understand DeJaVu when they start to pay attention to their sleeping dreams and random daydreams.. Pay attention to these more and wisdom will grow.. The thinking mind is only the surface of what the mind is all about.. We rationalize and follow order and what we are taught but the entire past present and future is churning in our dreams wether we acknowledge it or not..

Many times i Have dreams that i remember and months or longer pass after and events in my life match some of the dreams with the names, events, places and my involvement... Its Dreams of the future.. Every body has this ability and only those who pay attention to their dreams find it.. I have questioned many people about their dreams and every body seems to have it but just not easy for all of them to remember their dreams..

Those who have only DeJaVu are the ones who are close to seeing but can not quite remember the dream that matches the events before them.. I used to have Dejavu but now i have more visions of the future because i remember many more dreams now that i know the secret gifts they hold..
Some dreams are so realistic that it is hard to not confuse them in memory with a real experience..Some times i don't even know its a dream until i wake up...
I have so many dreams remembered over so many years,decades, now some times i confuse some dreams with real experiences because the dreams were so lucid real to match the experience of real life...

I speak like this after years of predicting the future for myself and people in my local community, i have become known for it there now but its not easy because i usually tell of the bad news, death and disaster.. Some people are afraid when i come to talk to them because they don't want to risk hearing me say i see their future in a bad way... I believe to tell the bad visions of the future because its a chance to change our ways and avoid demise...

I had once a dream of my accident on a yellow motor cycle, i woke and remembered it but did not worry because i did not own a yellow motorcycle.. Many Months later i had an accident on a yellow Motorcycle i purchased and it was the same as my dream and i remembered my dream as my body flew through the air during the mishap, and i relaxed with no fear because i believed my dream message was divine and if thats possible, then there is a future for me beyond the accident... It was clear that my relaxed body helped me to survive and walk away with no rush to the hospital.. In fact i went to the hospital in the evening after taking my totaled motor bike home and driving my own car.. It was only my hand and shoulder from the vehicle that struck me because the driver was a man swearing from long ago to kill me... His car was damaged and his insurance paid for my motor Bike and medical bill.. I said nothing to the police about him and allowed it to go down as simple accident... Never had problem with the man again...

Many people say previous life experiences are also in visions that cause dejavu

I dont know how the antique car market goes in Nigeria, but in countries like USA, old out of date cars can sell for extreme high price, even the ones that are not working properly or even missing the engine..
Peugeot is not high on the list of coveted cars, but eventually the price of any proper working car, stops dropping and starts rising..
There are cars sold new in 1950's that died and were abandoned after being used down to the bone.. Then when the car was rare and antiquity, people buy and rebuild it with customized design and even original restoration to sell the car for even more than a new mercedes today.. Rare car, rare price... Not sure about this 505, but eventually it will be a novelty item and the price will not drop but rise instead.. So far as the car is maintained or restored/refurbished... In USA the almighty VW Bug/beetle is a coveted car and the older the better, there is nothing they cannot refurbish on the car and people pay high dollar for it...

I commented on the section about People on the run because health officials were looking for them as suspects for Ebola contamination because family members of the nurse who contracted Ebola. I still stand by how the spread in Nigeria has been caused by the health worker/professionals. If they are the ones spreading it to others, it is proof that they don't know how to contain it or are not well equipped or are incompetent with the knowledge if the have it..

So when people hear the Ebola health workers are looking for people because of suspected contamination with Ebola, i don't blame the people for running if they feel healthy and well.. They are likely running from the health workers to avoid the contamination that the health workers have been causing themselves.. If the doctor and nurse cannot stop themselves from being infected, there is no honest reason to trust them with peoples life to test people without contaminating people..

Trust Instinct and common sense.. The reports are also out about the health workers now admitting the government is not taking serious the investment into the fight against Ebola spread, not providing the necessary funds to buy proper measures to enact what they know.. And so they remain at risk of infection and becoming themselves the contagion carriers that people fear and run from to save their dear lives... Cross infection is very high in the hospitals and quarantine centers that the government is not equipping properly...

yes its a good decision because Nigeria is Capable of paying its way from its NNPC holdings alone... Then the embezzlement culture of Nigeria may have been a background influence in the decision.. Nigeria will benefit from simply being a part of the coalition even if Nigeria is not focused on for disbursed funds.. Maybe enough has been spent on the latest US support in the eradication of Boko Haram to "bring back our girls"...
Nigeria has worked hard to present itself as the big economy GIANT OF AFRICA, so why not give instead to places like Ghana, Uganda and Co.

I cannot remember if you need to apply online or you can call and inquire.. But you will have to go in person eventually to complete the application, pay and also receive the visa if approved.. I remember a few people commenting in the travel section about easy success to Mexico.. Did that site get lost when nairaland was damaged?

Visa HQ is the best web site for visa info on every country.. if they dont have the answer, they can link to the address and phone info for tue embassy in your country if there is an embassy there.. Mexico has Nigeria embassy as Nigeria has mexico embassy...

Strict is an understatement, calling the man strict is like saying he is sweet puff puff the young girl is selling from her head pan..
He is Koboko born into flesh, he is the senseless drive to push for pushing sake, even over the cliff of madness so that i will never know rest..

But still we are curious about how the man manages without rest for himself? As he ages, the koboko of his existence has not softened or frayed or decayed so readily.. Hmm its an enigma defying the odds that some one can live so long under such hard tension swinging himself like a Koboko Machine that never runs out of fuel and never softens or frays or breaks..

Dont worry about me my friends, because as soon as he had toughened my skinny carcass up enough to work to afford to buy an airline ticket. i flew to the other side of the earth so that when i am awake in the day, he is sleeping in the night ,and when i am sleeping in the night, he is working and waxing his koboko in the day..

Yes decades have passed since and i don't mind at all or find problem with a life of knowing how to enjoy taking it easy and not worry to be so proper and on the strict course koboko tries to drive me on..

eaglechild: The bolded is WRONG.

Healthcare professionals are most at risk of contracting the disease simply because they come in contact with already sick patients and that is what happened with Sawyer.
No matter how you tried to rationalise people fleeing for treatment it is WRONG.
This is what went through Sawyer's head and he fled now look what has happened.

Healthcare workers are also not likely to transmit it because the disease becomes transmissible when the patient is very Ill and as the records have it all the healthcare professionals who were exposed to Sawyer willingly submitted to quarantine even before they bacame symptomatic because they fully understand that it is their by best chance of survival, therefore it unlikely that they will transmit the disease.
Recall that the American doctor and the Sierra leonian doctor also just like the healthcare workees in Nigeria willingly quarantine themselves.

It is extremely callous of you to speculate that someone who willingly volunteers to care for Ebola patients knowing the tremendous risks involved to himself and family will want to deliberately or even unwittingly spread the disease.
Remember that strict adherence to laid down safety guidelines in this particular case protects the healthworker himself who is most at risk.

You also speak as though healthcare workers are not human beings and do not also have the human instinct of self preservation.

In cases of such outbreaks their are established protocols which I can tell you categorically are being adhered to in the Nigerian case.

It will be too long to start giving you details.

But confirmed and unconfirmed cases are cared for separately and individually.

Their are different gradations of contacts which are handled differently.


Do not always assume that everything Nigerian is bad and NEVER you assume that the popular view or belief is the correct one.
I am not touting professionalism.
I am only passionate that people are not misled.

It has already cost a lot of lives.

they cant fool people who feel healthy ,into not trying to flee health care workers from the government, when in Nigeria it still remains that health care workers are the ones who first spread the disease in Nigeria and they are still the primary source of it in Nigeria after it came with the Liberian man who also came with "Government" envoy.. The Liberian was not fleeing, he was doing his job unaware of his situation. Further, Look into Sawyers profession and his relatives profession, Sawyer was a government related worker and i suspect health related workers had contact in or were his family as they mingled in government circles over concern and counsel about the Ebola crisis in Liberia and Co.. If the suspects feel healthy and have health care workers coming to detain them under suspicion, they are just as well founded to run from the healthcare workers for fear that the healthcare workers will infect them...

I never stated or stand by the Idea that the volunteer health workers sacrificing to help ebola victims, are deliberate intent to spread the disease. They are doing a work of good intentions but it is not as easy as they believe and they themselves can and are doing more unintended harm as is proven now by the spread of ebola in Nigeria by the well intended yet miscalculated health care workers.. Remember that if those professional control and quarantine systems/protocols work as you keep insisting, then answer how it is that Nigeria has Ebola on the loose in community environs from the very health workers you continue to say have it under control and should not be feared or avoided like a source of ebola?

I don't assume every Nigerian is bad, i know many good ones all over the world and i know many bad people from USA, and many other countries, the worst person i had encounters with was an american as a matter of my opinion.. What i will stand by ,is quarantine from the chronic disease of corruption and negligence in Nigerias Organized government and economic culture where big money and power are congregated... I have stated my view and you have stated yours and you have that space to do so without me trying to stop you.. But it wont stop me from standing by what i have stated with hope to learn about a better way for the Pandemic of Ebola..

I am happy for those who will take caution towards the healthcare workers and try to stay away from them.. Naturally, if some one was feeling ill and thinking they had Ebola, instinct is not to run, they will seek health care..
My suspicion is the people running are feeling well and fearing infection from the hysteria gripped healthcare workers... Simple as that and a life saving common sense/instinct no matter what kind of rationalization authoritarians try to put to it.. they didn't steal or kill and they dont want to be killed by good yet blind intentions going blundered....

eaglechild: I haven't seen so much rubbish put in words before.

I am giving you facts as a professional.

You are here advising contacts to flee because health care workers will infect them.

Is it that our educational system has been totally destroyed that nothing good can come out of it.?

I am not giving advice to anybody..To flee or not to flee. I am for people making their own choice with perspective independent of only the media and professional propaganda... I am stating the reasons established for why the people would be fleeing..
Its established that the Health professionals are the source of the spread beyond the first Liberian man..

And even if you are a professional, it doesn't mean anything more than you are liable to malpractice and as i have just witnessed presidential and congressional inquest of gross negligence and dereliction of medical duties in a $55 billion a year medical organization here in USA.. they allowed patients to die and go untreated because they were trying to save money to give themselves bonuses from the money they saved not treating patients.. I was a patient in the same system before and i know the worth of professionalism when it comes to surviving with innate instincts..
Keep touting professionalism, but i will wait for posterity to determine what stands in this pressing issue of Ebola outbreak...
If you want je to respect you as a health Professional, then find the cure or a foul proof containment protocol.. Then i will respect your claim to Professional self worth.. If you say you cant, then i say you cant be my health Professional in this matter.. I have seen head doctors sacked for incompetence related to my case files before.. And thats not the only professional fiascos i have witnessed trying to tell me contrary to what i instinctively knew to be true...

ameenahz: We are always quick to condemn Nigeria's health care system. It is not that bad. There is a laid down guideline for isolation put together by WHO for level 4 Infections like Ebola and hospitals that are going to be admitting patients with this infection are going to be following them strictly. Even if all the materials are not available, there are good materials to improvise with.

If you know anyone who is likely to be infected please call 0800-EBOLA-HELP. It's toll free.

Just remember that the first confirmed cases of Ebola are the health workers, the doctor and nurse involved with treating the Liberian man who was also affiliated with a government Envoy.. Even the esteemed american doctors with acclaimed world class methods, they caught ebola...
How is it not the focus of Ebola infection should be more so on the government and health officials chasing the disease and catching it themselves..
The clear thinkers on the matter see that the doctors and nurse caught the disease and they are the ones risking spreading it.. How is it we can now convince people with out a doubt that they should now submit to the same doctors and nurses who haven't proven themselves to have an adequate quarantine system and management to keep even the doctors and nurses from Infection?
There is a lot of self preservation bias going on and i must agree, even from my own perspective on the matter, its a confounding predicament still in need of better solution and methods than people just running or authorities chasing suspects like wild vermin...

VantagePoint: Oh, so you have worked with the government in a setting like this before?
Ebola is of PUBLIC HEALTH concern; it is imperative that the spread is limited by isolation of exposed people.
That poo you typed about government infecting non-exposed individuals quarantined in the same place is at best.., poo.
It is better for them to be isolated for the incubation period, tested for the virus and get early treatment (which may be life-saving) or released if they're found to be free of the disease. This is preferable to taking the risk of them having the virus and mingling with unsuspecting people.

the gross speculation is to chase those people around under speculation that they are infected.. Its speculation to say they are infeected until they are tested.. Furthermore.. It is the doctors and nurses of your so called WHO and CDC impeccable procedure/protocol that are becoming confirmed infected and at risk of spreading to their very own patients and even the suspected patients who are not even infected..
Two american doctors, one liberian and one Nigerian nurse and doctor..

Your are disoriented to think people should not even consider running from Ebola doctors and nurses when the doctors and nurses are the only ones Confirmed so far to have it... The confirmed reality is that the Health workers ,chasing down innocent suspects, have the only proven cases of infection among themselves... The non speculative confirmed cases in Nigeria would lead any clear considering person to stay away from the health authorities who run around chasing Ebola and catching the disease themselves.. if they haven't proven that they don't catch the disease themselves in the treatment and quarantine environment, its only speculation for the health officials to say they can keep patients from cross infection..
Think clearly and stop trying to simply dominate with your opinion.. People aren't wild animals to be chased down like vermin under the speculated suspicion that they are infected... the health workers are the ones most proven to be the ones likely to have the infection and spread it to their captive patients or innocent suspected patients.. Maybe you are an Enola health worker and a risk to people
You speak from fear and hysteria and not concern for anybody but your self.. and that my friend is rubbish

CoenzymeA: In essence everyone who has had contact with infected person should start running? In as much as you have a valid point, is it not better for few people to die than for the whole nation to be wiped out? I don't mean to be insensitive as we are all in this together, but this attitude would cause a total breakdown of our public system: health, economy, social etc. Go and ask the Liberians and the Sierra Leonians. This not a time to trade blames but proactive steps by all and sundry to curb this common enemy. IMHO

eaglechild: Please stop speculating rubbish.
There running is NOT justified by your factless epistle.

Confirmed and unconfirmed cases are ALWAYS separated and each unconfirmed case is treated individually.

It is a very basic rule in public health and the cases are being managed by public health consultants in conjuction with the WHO and CDC.

Why do people like making irritating speculations that bias the public.
And people are already happy with your funny ideas.

Everybody knows it has no cure and the disease cannot be treated.. They will just be isolated until they die and being in Nigeria, its normal to fear for your life when people come looking for you because they fear you spread death on contact..
Also Nigerians don't like to face bad news, they say a prayer and tell themselves only what they want to believe even when the bitter truth is sitting on their face.. So they may also be running from the diagnosis for fear it will be bad news.. In Guinea, there are villages running from health care workers and forbidding the health workers from entering their village because they believe the health workers brought the disease from the very beginning..
If they run for over a week with no symptoms, then they are justified because nigerian quarantine authorities would do something stupid like quarantine all ebola suspects in the same facility to share same toilet and bath and everything.. That will keep the outside society safer, but it will allow the one suspect who was the only one with Ebola, to infect the rest of the non infected suspects in quarantine.. after this, the officials in charge of quarantine can just tell the world that the ebola suspects were all infected and congratulate themselves for saving the public.. Never underestimate the incompetence or simple unwillingness of Nigerian authorities to not blunder even the best of intentions and as a result, cost innocent people their lives..
If they have the well being and strength to run, then thats a good sign of good health, they best protect themselves from the mental illness of the delusional do-gooder authorities trying to save them or society as a whole...

As a yoruba word, its just as credible to say it means honey,peeling/blister.. It is supported by the physical traits of Oyinbos in the hot sun.
They always turn red (like honey) before they blister and peel at the skin.. Always..
So there is just as much reason to believe this story as also reason for OP's story because there is an Igbo linguistic basis..
Its arbitrary now because there is Physical and linguistic basis combined in the yoruba word theory.. In the igbo, there is also linguistic and physical basis but the Onye Ibo is a bit askew because the white people are not "ibo" as Onye Ibo implies..
But people have come to linguistic terms of naming people and places, under far more confusing circumstances which were also rooted in two separate cultures meeting with no experience or knowledge of each others language and making many foul ups in the process of gaining understanding..
The Igbo side was the first to encounter the Portuguese and later landings of Portuguese were in Lagos area.. The later british landings were first in Lagos area.. Maybe not even in Igbo tribe proper, but in the Bonny and Calabar area for the first Portuguese landings.. The Portuguese left their genes there, you can see people from their with classic head shape of the portuguese and also light skinned people..In fact those traits extend all the way to Gabon area.. There are stories saying that its possible the portuguese had sailed to the west and central african coast before the historical record accounts.. So that the original visits were forgotten by the natives over generations of no contact and when the next contact came, it was considered a new first time contact by both sides.. Same as many stories of stray voyages ending up in America long before america was discovered, and there is genetic evidence and other evidence suggesting that..
Also There are yoruba words that match the Chinese words.. And they are greeting words just the same as a sea going Chinese language or dialect.. In fact it is the greeting words that they would first learn from each other.. I wonder if the yoruba carried it from the Chinese or the Chinese carried it from the yoruba.. Can it be simple coincidence? I don't think so when the Chinese have a sailing history much older than that of Europe.. The Chinese always returned back and made no attempt to integrate or colonize people they encountered outside of Asia..Although i think China may have taken some african people to asia with them as novelty show and tell.. It may explain why some odd dispersion of black tribes in asian islands across south Asia and even some Mixed asian/black traits in Asia continent proper..

the entire world has been rattled by Around 6. magnitude quakes regularly for the past month.. There have been many smaller ones like the 3. magnitudes i have been feeling in USA here.. It started with a few 7. and 8. quakes and then a steady supply of 6.+ from pacific areas and central and south america areas. Also the recent 6. in china that was very damaging and maybe people were killed.. A 6. is not as deadly unless it occurs very shallow and so it was shallow in chinas recent quake...
I have been experiencing many earth movements this past week..They are small but enough to make me a bit dizzy at times because i am sensitive while most people don't notice them. I lived on an active volcano for a decade and became acutely tuned in to even the small ones..
Something is afoot on a global scale...

#280,000 naira is about right as posted above.. General rule is that $2000 dollars or less will get you a round trip ticket from Lagos to USA with a transfer flight from port of entry to another destination state in the same region...
JFK NewYork, IAH Houston Texas and MIA Miami Florida are the main direct flight airports to Nigeria.. JFK is the best to reach Connecticut because its so close to New york and the connecting flight will not cost much more or even the option to ground commute by train or bus from NY to CT.

I was born in USA and was a young primary school boy before i moved to Nigeria.. My days were simple and i remember clearly the big yellow school bus that would take us to school every morning.. Then when i was told we were moving to Africa, i was happy and excited.. I was 8 years old and knew nothing about Africa other than the wild animal jungle place.. I liked it and assumed i would no longer have to go to school and my friends would be chimpanzees playing in the jungle like Tarzan had.. Then the wake up call came as the B747 approached lagos MMA..

I saw the jungle canopy give way to highways and cars and then the roads and houses became more dense until i saw endless fleets of yellow buses.. I was so young and did not know Molue was the public transport, i assumed they were school buses like in USA.. Every where i looked i saw yellow buses non stop as if the only business was taking children to school and no other life but school.. I entered depression but my young mind recovered and learned much and enjoyed much before things quickly fell apart over the years into suffering and finally an exit of Nigeria and no return since.

Then in more recent years i have been in places like philippines and Nicaragua and Peru and other simple countries.. Interesting but not easy or always comfortable, as my health so easily suffered under pollution and noise and dense traffic in chaos and danger. I had it easy there but not as nice as in USA where i can enjoy fresher air, safer environments other than crazy people with excess privilege in life and no appreciation for it..I don't mind hard work in USA because my health is better and food options are extensive for better health and thats what the body needs for endurance to enjoy hard work and also rest in comfort...

I was living in philippines for two years and it is very cheap to live there but not easy to make money unless you are from privilege background or are very skilled in the right sector..
Nigeria has much better salaries than philippines at the high levels in the right sectors and lots of money to be made in Nigeria.. Philippines is overpopulated even when compared to Nigeria.. Manila will give you the impression of a bigger city than lagos and it does have a much higher population than lagos..

So you can see philippines is pressed. It is big business in the billions for philippine nationals to work overseas and send money back home or save money to return home and be rich at home. earning $400 a month is very possible in Arab countries and beyond, but not so easy in philippines even with a university degree... There are many agencies in philippines that service their people in acquiring jobs in middle east area and the workers eagerly take simple positions and still return home after 5 years or more with enough money to build a house and support family... Education is not free in Philippines and so poor people don't get to escape poverty easily because they need luck or money to get an education...
Many americans, Canadians, australians and europeans move to philippines as well.. They retire and take their pensions there to live.. A modest pension in Europe or america, becomes a rich mans life in philippines.. Owning a basic car is still the same price as world markets, but the houses and food and employing workers in their houses or starting a business is very cheap... People there often live on less than $100 a month.. And also the women there like to marry foreign retirees for the money advantage, you will see young 20 year old girl married to a retired man over 55 years of age or 65 and even a 30 year old married to a man over 75 years old...Yes they have babies with the men also.

Above all, the philippine workers have a worker reputation that is hard to surpass.. They are very used to very hard work for little payment in return.. So when they receive better in a better environment, they have motivation to be even more loyal at the hard worker standard... I did temporary work in USA on a mans farm when his trees reached ripened fruit.. Three months of harvest and this is in USA Hawaii where i am a citizen and resident.. The Farm owner is american ,a doctor and he preferred first to hire the philippine immigrant workers before americans because the americans were lazy and complain all day with little harvest accomplished while the philippine old woman harvested from before sunrise to sunset and had so much harvest she makes $100 in a day.. She would earn only that $100 in one month if she worked like that every day with only Sunday to rest in philippines farming sector...

A Top secret drug never tested on humans is being credited for the recovery of the American doctor who was returned from Liberia with Ebola infection.. I guess the drug has been tested now and the good doctor is recovering well.. Or is he just one of the 10% natural Ebola survivors?

Reading will not help as much as Listening to live conversation.. Turn the radio to English speaking nations radio, turn the TV to english speaking nations news broadcast or documentaries.. Movies don't always convey proper english but its also good to be aware of the slang and also filthy insulting words that wont be found in the dictionary.. Combined with reading and referencing dictionary or spell check, you can improve at speaking and writing. reading doesn't guarantee proper pronunciation and speaking practice doesn't guarantee proper spelling..

These are all small problems and they are all related to not maintaining the vehicle.. Change your oil as needed and no oil sludge.. Change the Transmission fluid and no issues.. Thats why the Owners manual details all the vital maintenance routines.. F you bought used and have trnasmission problems, it s likely the prvious owner did not do the regular maintaneance and then you tried to continue the same way..
Toyota is still at the top reliability.. The yearly assessment for reliable cars confirms this and they do so by testing all the cars they rate.. They use them under same conditions and record how many problems per car over the same time and conditions used.. The best cars have at least One problem and that is Lexus for 2014. Mercedes has had a lot of problems in the latest models but its still a good car.
No car is perfect, pick the one with the least problem.. And whatever car you drive, change the oil and transmission fluid as recommended and all will be ok.. If it has issues with bolts, check the bolts regularly.
Every person should open the engine bay of their car and be able to inspect multiple aspects of the engine.. Also getting under and inspecting the drive train and under body components for leaks and loose parts..
If you have money, then take it every 3 months for someone to inspect...
I inspect my vehicle and take it to the shop for service regularly and have the service crew inspect it while it is up on the lift and down on the ground..
Even the disreputable american cars will work very well if you service them as recommended...
