This guy gets sick anytime he hears the word "court". Whats so scary to these politicians about that place called court?

This is a new low, you have to vomit in your own car?

[quote author= post=45736532]Hi everyone. So, in this age that almost every guy that comes to you is thinking of how to sleep with you, my question is how can you make or how can a guy who just wants to sleep with you, fall in love with you? Please mature responses only. Thank you[/quote]Yes, almost every man wants to sleep with you. I feel the real question is how do you avoid being cheated.

Its simple, dont give sex because you think a guy is in love, be yourself and give sex when you want it. If sex becomes a reward to a guy, you will always feel cheated. Some girls feel like sex is their most prized possesion, when they give, they expect a guy to give his most prized possesion which is his commitment. Unfortunately, guys never give commitment because of sex.

All the girls that give sex freely without emotions never feel cheated, those who attach emotions to it will cry for been cheated.

Its just unfortunate, there is no sure way to make a guy stick around unless he has seen what he had not seen before and after he met you. Sweet sex can keep a man longer. The good person you are can keep a man forever.

I have a friend who is 35, all his friends are married and he has no girlfriend to propose to. He met a young girl, 22, he wanted her so badly, sex and all. She thought it was just the sex and denied him. His cousin sister who never knew he was after a certain girl recommended a girl, 32, in another state, they fell in love after seeing each others facebook profile and talking on phone. The first day they met was like that of people who knew themselves for years. Sex wasnt an issue, they had it same week they met. I have never seen my friend in love until now. When i think of the 22 yr old girl, she made a mistake of her life thinking it was all because of sex. Now, she is begging for attention, initiating chats and calls in vain.

Olulinks:
The prescribed psi that you see by the doors side of the cars are only for new tires. It won't work for used and expired tires that are popularly used by the many Nigerian people. The Vulcaniser are right, they know many of those tires being brought to them are old and expired.

This is absurd because you have not shed any light on why it will not work for used tires.

As a matter of fact, used tires are more suscrptible to bulging, twisting and blowing off due to high pressures.

As a matter of fact, the only situation that warrants you to put more than required pressure is when the car is loaded to its capacity weight. Every vehicle has its total capacity of weight. The sticker provides for the pressure at capacity weight. For example, my car is a 2003 Honda accord LX. The sticker says 30psi front 29psi back. It also says the capacity weight is 385kg and the pressure at full capacity is 42psi. Cosidering i always drive alone, i use 32psi cold but when i engage on a planned trip with my family, i put 35psi. I rarely put 40psi or carry full passengers.

On another note, my tire has a maximum load capacity of 670kg and maximum pressure 44psi. Considering the maximum capacity of my car is half of that of the tires there is no way i will want to put maximum pressure.

Lastly, i am not majority of Nigerians so i dont buy expired tires. Not that i have not bought tokumbo, i actually did a couple of times but never an expired one. The ones i bought usually have a short expiry due time while i plan for a new tire.

wordychap:
I beg to differ with u
The pressure on d tyre is best to be used bc its specific for d said tyre
The pressure set by d car manufacturers refers to that of d tyre the car originally came with, so what of if one has a change of tyre?

No to that.

A car comes with several specifications on labels. Aside that of tire specifications, there is one of Air conditioning. My car's refridgerant from factory is R134a, are you saying am free to change it to R12 just because that was factory and the replacement isnt?

If you buy a TV or any electronic item, you have to check the label before you plug it. Do you know that if you buy that electronic item and its sticker says 120V and you plug it any where in Nigeria it will immediately damage it? Why is that, because Nigeria has a standard supply of 220V. 160-240V is what they normally deliver which works with most appliances. US and Japan use 120V and give a tolerance of 90-140V.

The pressure you see on the tire is a maximum rating. That is, this tire cannot handle pressure beyond what is writen.

wordychap:
My car manual gave me 35psi
But checking d tyres of d car I saw max 51psi
I think the best notion is to check what's on d tyre of d vehicle especially if one has had a change of tyres before after car purchase.

Somewhere before or after the 51psi, the word max or maximum is writen.

Thats meant to be a rated maximum in any case this tire is to be used. The actual pressure is writen on the car.

Please, know the two things there. There is maximum loading writen there as well as maximum pressure. Is your car the weight writen on the tire that you would want to match the pressure? Your car has a specific weight, it is through the weight the car manufacturers chose the tire size and pressure. The tire manufacture doesnot know your car so they gave you a limit beyond which there is no guarantee.

Daslim180:
1. 90% accident ain't caused by blow up but by reckless driving.

2. 30-35 psi will neva be cool for Nigeria Drivers who uses their vehicle for overloading (bad anyway)

1. This thread is about tires not accident in general
2. Every tire has a load limit and a maximum pressure limit. Overloading is one rule breaker, adding pressure beyond the limit is signing one's death warrant.

I cant say which one is more dangerous between overloading and over pressure, combining the 2 is certainly more dangerous.

One othe fact is that under pressure is even more dangerous to over pressure. Thats because under pressure increases the surface area in contact with the asphalt which means higher tire temperature and higher risk of blowout

My parents have a Samsung 32" LCD series 4 tv bought in 2009. I can get the specs later. The TV power went out one time and never came on. It was repaired in Jos for N2,500 that something was blown. The electrician recommended they use surge protector. Even with the surge protection, it got blown again. We dumped the TV and i got another Samsung 32" from spar in Abj but was stolen a month later. The old one had been fixed again and was mounted but few months later it gave up again for the 3rd time. The TV is still lying down for almost a year now.

What part do you think is responsible and that cheap? I didnt follow my parents to the electrician but i wish to know if i can get a better quality of the broken part. Where do you operate, Abj or Lag?

TheSpellChecker:
... and probably, spelling too?



Don't mind me. I know it's an oversight.

And you are "thespellchecker"!

A lot of Nigerians have comprehension problems. May be because most people had to cheat to pass English Language or suck at comprehesion and summary.

What you didnt mention is the fact that on most cars, the word "COLD" is written above or after the rated psi.

What the cold means is that the rated psi is at cold temperatures. This is because air pressure of the tire increases when the tire temperature rises. By driving, because of friction, heat from asphalt, brakes and ambient heat, tire temperature would rise considerably. Therefore it is best to pump air to recommended pressure in the morning before driving off or not far from the house/take off point before the tire temperature rises.

ashley26:
I just bought four brand new tires yesterday (A Three - 205 by 65) and it is boldly written on them that the air pressure should be 44psi. What should I do considering the fact that what is written on my car is not up to that.

Wrong. I use the same tire. It says maximum pressure 44psi.

It means if your car says to put 50psi, this tire can handle 44psi max. It doesnt stop you from using the manufacturers recommendation. The recommended pressure is related to the size of tire and weight of car.

ogawisdom:
In other words pumping tyres are best done in d afternoon or it doesn't Matter

It matters a lot.

Do what the car manufacturer says. In my case as shown in the picture above, my car says cold and that is preferable in the morning.

What i have said before is for those who guage their tires 40psi flat. If they do that in the morning, then its dangerous since the temperature will go higher when the tire gets hot.

As shown below, my car tire has a maximum pressure rating of 44psi. If i inflate in the morning to 40psi and by after noon because of temperature it gets to 45psi, that will be over the max from there it is susceptible to exploding. There are some guages that are wrongly calibrated or the vulcanizer may not be very accurate then pumps 45 or 50psi actually. That will be really dangerous since hot temperature could get the pressure to 50-55psi.

anigbajumo:
The only factor that can increases on decreases the pressure in a closed system here (dry water in tyre) is volume.

Where is temperature? Both Charles and Boyle's law relates to temperature. Why did you keep it aside?

Anyways, sorry that i didnt mention all the laws and the particular one relating to this matter. There are actually 3 gas laws with respect to pressure, volume and temperature. I mentioned the first 2 but forgot the name of the last. I just remembered it.

Its Gay-Lussac's law which states that when a volume of a gas is kept constant pressure is directly proportional temperature.

Note that a tire only changes in shape but not in volume. Any tire that changes in volume will not carry the weight of the car.

Pressure cooker, constant volume, increase in temperature gives rise to increase in pressure.

The Nescafe can example volume is kept constant to a limit, as temperature increases pressure in the can increases till the cover (volume) can no longer hold the pressure.

stonemasonn:
So it is not wise to pump the tires in the morning.

From the picture below of the sticker in the drivers door way, notice it says COLD TIRE PRESSURE.

That means it is better to guage the correct pressure in the morning.

Infact it means, avoid guaging your tires in the afternoon.

However, you could do an experiment by guaging tire in the morning, check the pressure change in the hot afternoon. You can use the afternoon pressure to guage your tires anytime you need to guage in the afternoon.

anigbajumo:
If the water will have any effect on the tyre,I think is not a must to reach 100 degree Celsius before it reduces or increases it pressure.I fink the volume need to be considered than the temperature of the water because the volume will determine the pressure of tyre on asphalt than temperature of water inside the tyre.

Pls I dnt get u here, educate me on how dry air can expand in a closed system. If other physical properties remain constant except increase in volume.

In physics, Charle's law. Charle's law states that when the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the temperature and the volume will be directly related. I.E Volume is proportional to temperature. This means that if temperature increases, the volume of the gas will increase but when volume is kept constant the pressure increases.

Take an empty Nescafe can and seal with its lid then drop it in a fire. You will get a explosion and the lid will be sent flying. Thats to tell you even air expands with higher temperature.

Alternatively, borrow or buy a tire guage, check your tire pressure very early in the morning. Wait till the sun is high say 2pm, drive on the asphalt for 30mins. Stop and check your pressure. It will not be the same.

Kashif:
I was conducting a little research on air compressors last evening, and something came to my mind.

The vulcanizers we find around us have the air compressors feeding the tyres directly, without any filter or storage tank. These help get rid of water which is a byproduct of compressed air. I remember stopping to buy something close to a vulcanizer one humid morning, and noticed that the hose end left on the road had considerable moisture coming out. Enough to get the asphalt where it was resting wet.

Now I am thinking, could there be a risk inflating our tyres off those sources, and getting water in? Could the quantity of water be enough to considerably increasing the pressure in the tyres on a hot day, especially if over-inflated? I am not an expert, but I know that steam under pressure is a high risk.

As a way of mitigation, would inflating our tyres only on a sunny day help?

Can fellows with a better understanding throw more light? This is just me thinking aloud.

Unfortunately, manufacturers recommend guaging tire when cold, preferably in the morning. Pressure of a gas such as air increases with temperature. If your car has a recommendation of 35psi cold and you guage your pressure in the hot afternoon, the cold pressure could be lower say 30 or 32psi which is below recommended.

If you guage pressure in the morning and put 40psi like they usually do, the pressure will be above 40psi say 45psi when the day gets hot and you drive on the hot pavement. This will be dangerous as most tires have a maximum inflation pressure which is mostly 40psi. So you see, the tire is over inflated and the risk of blow out is very high.

Lastly, i know that pressure has a relationship with temperature but with moisture, i doubt. Even if there is, it will be less significant as temperature. The relationship between pressure and temperature is the principle behind the pressure cooker. Even a pressure cooker has a pressure control valve which without, the cooker is a bomb waiting to explode under high temperature.

For those who drink beer know that a hot beer when opened pops and hiss but a very cold beer will not even hiss when open. Thats because the chilled beer has reduced the pressure inside the bottle while the hot beer increases the pressure. All this happens because bottles are sealed with carbon dioxide gas for preservation given the name carbonated drinks. This gas does expand with higher temperature.

Guys don't let these telcos play on your intelligence, it's not about the price and the amount of data your given but rather the burn rate. Burn rate in the sense that when u download a file of 6MB how many MB actually leaves your data. Some device comes with data calculators, so this will further explain if this offer is beneficial of just another scheme. I remember downloading a file if 2MB and 2.7MB actually was deducted from my data balance. At the expiry of my 1GB, I discovered I used overall lesser then the 1GB but I got the expiry message.

Etisalat is surely guilty of this. I never get value anytime i subscibe to etisalat data.

The last one i did was 500mb for N750. By 11pm i had recieved a text that my data balance is 100mb, I turned on data savings on my opera browser stopped browsing to sleep. I woke up in the morning to find text message saying i have 10mb left by 4am and then minutes later another saying i have 5mb and the last one saying my data was exhausted while i was sleeping. Note my auto update function has been off like for ever. Etisalat cleared my data while i slept.

How i wish DSTV will face this kind of competition.

Anyways, i am rocking MTN 750mb N500 weekly data. I finished the 750mb in 3 days and will buy another today. Its flexible and allows me get good data for N500 no sweating unlike before that i have to load N2,500 to get data.

Changing gear oil should not be a problem,but the Kazeem that worked it,will intentionally leave something undone,or not properly done!Yes that is their way.

I have the service manual so i usually invite the mech to my house mostly on sundays to help me do whatever i want in the correct way.

Some gear box tend to start misbehaving even if the right oil was used.

I think i had this close to this problem on my 2003 accord. Mine was even worst. Till today, am scared of changing gear oil.

Read through to the end as i have 2 different cases with the gear.

"Mr. Buhari, however, welcomed the remarks by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who said President Buhari was not corrupt.

“Thank you to the Archbishop. We have great admiration for the good relationship between our two countries,” Mr. Buhari said."

Above quote caught my attention. Not sure the Archbishop specifically mentioned Buhari or Nigeria in the video but assuming it's true it only means as much as our president is single out from us in this highly embarrassing remark, he is fine with it. Says a lot about his love for Nigerians. To him every Nigerian is corrupt except him. Not fair. Not true.

He specifically said "the current president".

Krismart:
And I guess it was never padded under Yar'Adua and OBJ

Thats beside the point.

Even if it has been a long tradition since the inception of Nigeria in 1914, it is wrong and its good that finally a leader thought it wise to stop it.

SleekAboki:
Nigeria is blessed and every region has it's own resources to thrive.I've seen the data.The Niger Delta should be allowed to use their God given resources to better their lives.

When Nigeria only had pyramids of groudnut and cocoa for foreign exchange, was it only the farmers or their regions that benefited?

What you should be asking for is diversification not greedy regional control which will make one region lazy and the others hardworking.

Some people would still think Buhari let his budget get padded.

Buhari is still the first president to reject a padded budget. GEJ was aware but never did a thing.

SleekAboki:
The solution to all these is regionalism.Let each region develop at it's pace with it's resources.This current structure as practiced breeds laziness and corruption.

It makes no sense. That would further make the rich richer and the poor even poorer.

It is oil that made us lazy not the sharing of resources.

SleekAboki:
You should instead blame a rogue government system that dishes out cake to a select few knowing it won't get to the indigenous people of the creeks.

I have lived in the North West and the South South, their leaders aint the same.

Give an average Hausa politician N1billion, the crowd you will see in his house will be unbelievable. He will build houses for his people, bore hole and roads. On daily basis, he will be giving cash assistance to friends, family, villagers and even strangers.

Give the same amount to a Bayelsan politician and he will hire thugs to keep people away from him while he sits on the entire money.

I know it is more expensive to build roads in the south but if the southern leaders are taken to the north, they wont build what the northern leaders are doing for themselves and their people.

SleekAboki:
The Niger Delta is the darling and life blood of Nigeria. I wonder why buhari and APC failed to toast,win and dazzle her with romances? These people deserve much more respect than they are getting. Let justice be done.Life in the creeks is not even ideal for human habitation yet,tinubu and co sit down in their posh offices and sipping Niger Delta oil through oando. This is an insult and a grave injustice that must be addressed.

Were were the Niger Deltans during elections? The ate their cake and are still looking for it!

Ahmed0336:
Correct me if I'm wrong this job description (building) is meant for quantity Surveyors. This is no heavy engineering, road or capital project mr op stick to engineering projects

You are right but not entirely. You are only right because you mentioned buildings. However, Civil engineers offer quantity surveying courses in school like wise land surveying and even Urban and regional planning.

That means we are also trained to quantify, we call it BEME- Bill of Engineering Measurment and Evaluation while the QS call it BOQ-Bill of Quantities.

I have a friend who works with a road construction firm but is used purely as a land surveyor. I as a civil engineer work with a Power Transmission/substation consulting firm, i am required to know a lot of electrical stuff to do my jobs.

Have you heard of Biomedical engineering before? Engineers are trained to be versatile within their responsibilities but it doesnt mean they are stealing jobs. If you will accuse a particular profession for doing job of others in the building industry, Architects will be your focus. They are known to be the Architects, structural engrs, mech engrs, elect. Engrs, QS, LS and even the builder it most cases.

WTF! You are worried over the car but not worried over the house that sits directly under the conductors. There is 95% chance the house would burn down with its occupants while the car still remains intact in the case of broken conductor.

That house should have been 15m away at the very least. Nigerians! SMH!

One thing we all should know is that 90% of the car batteries on the spare part shops are actually not "dry cells" but sealed "wet cell" batteries. dry cells are usually sealed while wet cells are open for maintenance. The spare part dealers cheat by sealing wet cell batteries like it was dry cell and sell as such.

We all know wet cells are cheaper and require maintenance unlike dry cells which are more expensive but maintenance free.

These dealers cash in to our ignorance by sealing wet cells like dry cells and selling at the cost of dry cells. Wet cell batteries have a longer shelf life because the acid is introduced after purchase. But with these sealed wet cell, they have the shortest shelf life. Thats why its a miracle if such batteries last more than a year.

When you go to buy battery next time, pick it up and give it a shake close to your ears. If you hear liquid, thats actually a "sealed wet cell".

Remember, wet cell batteries require maintenance, sealing it means you will not enjoy the battery after its maintenance is due.

Infact, the term "dry cell" has disappeared from most battery lables because of this cheat. I have decided to return to the old wet cell batteries which are as cheap as 7k but more relaible to the dry cell look alikes.
