It seems it is always cheaper to import from even the US & Canada than from OEM Germany

Nice one. I used to hate banks as a man with many dreams in the past and not being able to get a loan, but now I understand better. Banks would rather take the risk with established business men or investors, and I don't blame them.

If you are just starting out, it's best you try to get a loan from friends, family members, or fans/admirers of your works.

I'd rather give the funds to Motherless-Babies' homes or to Rotary Intl than a loan to friends & family!

That's the fastest way to spoil a valuable friendship!
Will encourage laziness, comfort craving & dependance in family!

Sodia:
Long ago, comparing the internet to what it is now, you will find out absolutely that a lot of things have changed; there has been a lot of improvement in technology, and that alone has made our lives easier. Hardly before you find someone who isn’t on any social media.

Despite these advancements, there are thing you mustn't do online, must of us are guilty yhis things and its very important we stop doing them.

5 Worst Things You Should Stop Doing Online

Below are five (5) things i have outlined in which you should stop doing on the internet:

Avoid Synchronizing All Your Social Media Accounts Online

Synchronizing Facebook, Instagram, twitter, in such a way that when you make an update on Facebook it automatically sends it to other social network isn’t right at all. It sounds great in theory, but it is awful in real life. What you need to understand is that every social network is different. What works on Facebook, doesn’t work on Twitter, Linkedin or Instagram.

Using One Or Weak Passwords

I agree that not many people can remember all of their passwords. So they find one good, strong password that they use for absolutely everything. It is absolutely wrong to use the same password for your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email etc. You need to have more than one password. In fact, you need at least three to five different passwords that you use for different internet accounts.

Also for weak passwords, o you know that a lot of us use easy to guess password? How can you use 123456 as your password or 7654321… This can make any dummy easily guess your password and hack into your account. Even using your date of birth as password is not correct.

A good password should comprises of Letters, numbers symbols etc. e.g M4_09!... Let your password be strong enough that no demon on earth will be able to guess it.

Being Careless With Your Login Details

Being careless with your login details is totally bad, it is called login details because it is exclusive to you, it belongs to you and nobody else, not even your wife or your boyfriend should have access to your login details. That way, your information's are secured when it is exclusively known to you alone.

Another way of being careless with your login details is storing your login details on public computers or personal computers; Some of us still make use of the Café and even store our login details on the used browser which is absolutely not right. Even storing your login details on your own personal computer is not right because somehow, someday someone might have access to it.

Revealing Your Email Address Or Phone Number In A Comment Box Or Anywhere Online

I have stopped this long ago and ensure that every email that has ever been published on this blog was deleted. Never leave your email address on any blog post, Facebook or any platform that exposes it to the public, it is not safe, also in revealing your phone number online, a lot of people are guilty of this, post their phone numbers on Facebook, so that anyone can just check on you, PM you or WhatsApp you. Be smart about it and be wise about it.

Avoid Links In Email

Criminals love clickable links in emails. They absolutely love them. Yes, they are a good idea in theory. But sometimes, theory and real life do not work in the same way. Clicking on a link in your email might take you to a website with malicious software, if possible do not download any attachment you don’t know anything in your email, they can use it to hack into your account.

In conclusion, its important you keep your privacy private online, before the public will make your privacy public, LOL!

Most of us don't know how we sell our lives FOR FREE on these sites.
Did you know that:

1. By uploading anything (pics, vids, etc) you grant FB "a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license" (copyright) to your stuff. Stuffs you could have made $$ uploading and selling on sites like:

Amazon photobook
Fotolia,
istockphoto,
123RoyaltyFree,
Snapped4U,
CanStockPhoto,
shutterstock,
DreamsTime,
BigStockPhoto,
Crestock etc.


2. Tracking cookies enable FB, google et al to track everything you do online including all ur alt monikers on NL and all the PORN SITES you visit .
Imagine you quietly check something on konga/jumia yesterday, only to discover targeted ads about that same product on every other website you visit for the rest of the week. FB advanced it by using facial recognition to track your relationship with other persons whom you appear in group pictures with all in the name of "Tag suggestion".

3. Tracking ur facebook likes helps sites to profile you.
"Work conducted by researchers at Cambridge University and Microsoft Research show how the patterns of Facebook Likes can very accurately predict your sexual orientation, satisfaction with life, intelligence, emotional stability, religion, alcohol use and drug use, relationship status, age, gender, race, and political views—among many others."

4. Employers of Labour, Marketing companies, Advertising agents, Research organisations, Law enforcement, KIDNAPPERS & Online fraudsters all use this for both THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY.

And again, we mostly judge people based on our experiences.

First experience was setting up GSM phone bulk recharge card sales in 2009, b4 the advent of online recharge.

Second was buying cars along the border and selling them in Lagos in 2010.

Third was buying parcels of land for resale 2011 - 2014.


Forth was setting up a truck haulage company in 2011.

Next would have been buying accidented cars and selling them for parts, doing palm oil biz, buying cheap land in Ogun and paying locals to farm on it, but I ran away cause it was same format.

Keynote is that they all start as legitimate viable businesses, but the business model is always structured with something else in mind.


Wish you well though.

I had seen this format before.

This is how it usually starts...

Happy hunting!!!

If you had an existing relationship with the bank, in the form of an active current or savings account with regular account activity, your account officer can assist you with references otherwise you may wish to piggyback on him for now by using his account for your genuine dollar transactions until he can trust you enough.

Just my 2cents.

Yes, a few times.
If only one person reports it, its instantly hidden from only that person's view. But I have observed that it does work sometimes when enough persons report it, but I don't know if it's automatic or not.

We need to try it out and see first.

If you go back to the previous page (748) you will see evidence that the report button actually does work. Thanks to Oga Hajji for motivating us to do the needful.

francmoda:
On a second thought, are u a qualified architect...as in, studied architecture in Poly or Uni or u just learnt by ur self?

Some persons like Azuh type in a certain way just to be funny.
Others are results of auto-correct and multi-tasking combined.

But for a select few, it's simply because they struggle to speak good English. And except they were trained in a non-english-speaking country, it means they have no formal education.

ogwomba:
Yes, i changed with a new radiator. i will do as you've suggested. Many thanks.

Try to guage the gear oil level while the engine is running and note the guage. Also guage the steering oil and or any other oil that is cooled by the radiator.

Repeat this guaging every morning for awhile (like a month) until u are satisfied the level is not dropping. If it does drop, I would suggest you stop driving the car until a Mechanic has traced the likely cause.

ogwomba:
Guys help me out
My C class 200 V4 is mixing gear oil on the radiator water,I changed the radiator and this morning i noticed that there is still gear oil on the radiator water. Pls guys help me out.

Did you change with a new radiator? Did you check if the gear oil level is dropping?

It could be residual oil from the previous leak that was not properly flushed in which case you will have to drain and refill the radiator

EgunMogaji:
@ 3Strikes We've now hit 747

Is it a milestone?
Too much off-topic discuss makes following the thread difficult. But then again man is an emotional being.

That's the reason why I never criticise any person asking about questions that have previously been answered.

Moderators, Commentators, Accurate Time Keepers..........
Oh oh oh oh what a psychological crew!!!!

You cut across as a seasoned backbiter with a smell of false pretence about you.

Am anxiously awaiting feedback from verified clients you have worked for.

You can always tell much about a person from their comments over time

nextstep:
Please expand on this. I was under the impression that you wanted to keep these systems separate so that any lightening action on the arrestor would not affect the electronics (earth grounding). We've got a solar installation, where the negative of the panels are eventually routed to earth ground.

The grounded part of Solar panels originate from the chassis or Aluminium frame and not the negative terminal

44chux:
Its the other way round.

If the ground has enough conductivity, it will quickly absorb all the high voltage, but if not (as is normally the case), then hv will want to also use ur earthing system to ground itself, but because the path of least electrical resistance to ur earthing system is through ur household electrical equipments, it will arc back to the nearest wire to pass through them to get to ground via the earthing

However if your earthing system has a direct underground link to the lightening system, that becomes the path of least resistance and the high voltage flows underground to the earthing system and equally grounded to earth there. So in essence, both the lightening rods piled to the ground, and the house earthing system equally share the job of safely transmitting the lightening strike to ground.

At that microsecond, all the electrical equipment earthed in the house receive that hv on their earthing / chassis but there is no danger as there is no current flow. And if someone was to touch that equipment at that time, nothing would happen because there will always be least resistance at the earthing system than through the person's feet.

No lightening protection is better than an incomplete lightening protection.

browseyd22:
please I would like to know between Benz G55 2006 and range Rover evogue 2013,which is easy to maintain in term of availability of parts n cost of the parts

I have never seen a G-Wagon going in for anything other than break-pad and oil change.

I haven't even seen where they sell the parts. How the thing want spoil when looking under the car from a service pit you wound think it was a trawler abi tipper sef with the type of thick suspension reinforcements.

And the oddest part is that most folks find it difficult to differentiate the model years, so ~95% of Nigerians that can't afford the car won't know it's the 2006 model ur driving. So bros, buy the G-Wagon and I promise you won't ever complaīn about car trouble again.

But on the flip side, ur wife won't enjoy the ride at all cause there is nothing effizy inside.

Has the rules been enforced all this while?

Yes, a few times.

We need to try it out and see first.

I think if a certain number of persons click on report button on any advert and type: "Rule 6 & Rule 18", the post will be deleted.

Pls gents, let us be our own moderator.
I start by reporting the advert above my mention

DUNKA:
Please does anyone know where I can source for the below swivel chair?

I bought similar stuff from either konga or jumia. Its always cheaper, but the catch is that you will be the one to assemble it yourself, which takes patience.

mank1234:
Given equal mix ratio of concrete, both give similar strength after curing. The major distinction is in how long it takes to achieve the desired strength. 42.5R reaches this faster than 32.5R.

For bungalow/duplex construction, any claim of one being superior is just marketing gimmicks.

Construction companies however prefer 52.5R because it gives a slightly higher strength than the others and also sets very fast. It gives off heat on making concrete.

IS 650:196 sets out the minimum strength in MPa of a standard mix that the different grades must achieve after 28days of setting and this represents about 98% (am not too sure, maybe -/+3%) of the max strength the mix will achieve.

I don't remember the figures but
32.5 is the lowest strength
followed by 42.5 and then 52.5

The S, N & R denotes the hardening/setting rate measured in 2days, 7, 14 & 28days.
S = Slow setting for heat sensitive applications
N = Normal
R = Rapid / supersetting

So a 42.5N in 7days might have same strength with 42.5R in 2 days and probably a 42.5S in 14days but their final strength after 28days will be the same.

Likewise a 42.5N in 2days might have similar strength with a 32.5N in 7 days.

So if I want to cast a driveway I plan to use next day, I most certainly am limited to 42.5R or above while if I am not in a hurry I might use the 42.5N if it's cheaper. Also you can't use the R for a lot of jobs like block moulding cause it starts setting before they finish mixing

In Nigeria, SON made it illegal (in 2014) to use 32.5 for anything other than plastering (not even block making).

All cement give off heat as part of the curing but if the rate is slow, you might not notice it as much as the environment might quickly absorb it

ahdamzee:
This is quite stale...be ur own role model...they don't want u seeing them as role models!

That seems to be the problem!!!

Impressionable teens are easily influenced by the dressing, grooming and attitude of celebs and tv personalities whom they unconsciously choose as role models rather than their folks.

Ever wondered why teens during the late 1990s and early 2000s with all their swag, smooth talk and general vigor had fewer cases of indescent dressing and loose public sex scapades with consequent rapes, STDs and baby mamas,
It was because the then role models who were the likes of 2pac, MJ, Charlie-boy, Buju Bantun, Raskimono, etc having similar problems of today, took extra care to keep them from the general public inorder not to be seen as negatively influencing our teens.

Mikel can have multiple baby-mamas for all I care, but he has to be descrete like the R-Kellys of today.

Mskrisx:
U nailed it bro!

Mikey di bad!

No he did not.
There is always the option of a pre-nup (a prenuptial agreement).

kiddkash:
becos dem white folks marriages don't last. n when they divorce she'll want half of what mikel has worked his entire life for

What sort of role model is this?

Encouraging our youths that its fashionable to have kids out of wedlock provided ur rich and famous?

We used to laugh at 2face Idibia and his sexcapades b4, but now our so-called leaders-of-tomorrow are encouraged to be baby-mamas to our upcoming celebs.

How the tory end?

Urgent Message!!!



I was almost a victim of these fraudsters and possible kidnap. I got a call this morning from a supposed uncle of mine. I didn't know the caller but he seemed so familiar with me and his voice was quite mature. I have just flashed my phone and so my first thought was his number was one of the numbers erased as a result. He feigned annoyance when I told him I hadn't got his number and I promptly explained the reason why I didn't have it stored. He asked if I was in <insert my current location> I said I was and he told me there was a job opening at their Coca cola branch and he gave a list of the available positions, he told me he had already secured a position for me and that I should call a certain number: a so called Comrade Anthony Idoko. I called the number the number and he told me to forward my CV to his number; I suggested I send it to his mail instead and he stated I do it the way he told me to. He said the salary was #49,000 including a #20,000 clothing allowance. But I should pay #22,500 for the form.

Insert [red flag]

I called my supposed Uncle Ken and told him I hadn't gotten that amount of money and he asked how much I did have. I chose a safe amount #5000 and he said he’d complete the money that I should get the account details from the Comrade and forward to him and that when I got my first salary i’d refund him.
Insert[another red flag]

At this point I started wondering how he got my number and so I called my Dad and asked what Job his supposed cousin(my supposed uncle ken) did and if he gave him my number. I explained why I asked and My dad told me to take my mind off it and he’d call his cousin.
My Dad called back and said he had called his own cousin (a real uncle ken) and he had no idea what I was talking about. I should cut every communication with them and forward their numbers to him.

Mr supposed uncle called me and asked if I had gotten the account details and I told him I hadn't (I lied) minutes later I forwarded it and he called back and told me to do a mobile transfer that he had sent someone else to do his.

I said OK.

I called the Comrade and asked where I would submit the teller and my passports to after I had done the transfer and he said he would direct me to the place when I was done with the payment. Below is the screen shot of the account he sent me(The name on the account should serve as a lead). Please this should be taken seriously and measures should be taken to apprehend this people. We don't know who might be a victim next.


As of typing this I am still stalling and wasting their airtym. This should be forwarded to front page ASAP.
They should be apprehended.

Hope you use True-caller.
