I was at Transamadi Portharcourt when these young men approached me and started preaching about NeoLife,

I listened intently to them, they said a job was slavery, that it was a temporal solution to a long term problem.

They said Jobs means Just over broke

They were inspiring, they had sweet tongues and almost bought me over.

The point of the story is that, you will never be free working for somebody, Salary is a bribe to forget your own dream.

Even if you are paid a million naira it won't still solve your problems, once you make 100k, you will have 200k problems.

If you make 1 million you will have 2 million naira problem.

Your child cannot inherit your job,

create jobs rather than coming here to compare jobs

If all of us create jobs, who will work in a factory, who will teach your kids, who will be a civil or public servant, who will protect the streets or the nation etc

Every job is important

Car Talk › Re: From Gazzuzz To Radautoworks And Back Again…my Story. by adanny01(m): 4:19pm On Mar 17, 2021

Kettlecorn:
Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not trying to malign you or your business or anything of the sort. But there seems to be a communication gap between you and the OP. He is a layman and needs more explanation and hand holding than "the engine does not need replacement" to solve the blue smoke issue or he wont have come on here prematurely in my humble opinion. He wants to know what exactly will solve the issue. You don't need to explain to folks online. Only the OP is "YOUR CUSTOMER" and you should continue to communicate and deal with him directly. When the issue is resolved, we fully expect that the OP will come back and sing your praises and testify to your expertise.

Exactly the point.

Secondly, Engrs committed themselves to a layman assuring him the smoke and oil pressure light will stop without having to replace the engine. It's a big guarantee in my opinion that if not sorted will still disappoint the client. We all know what blue smoke is and being told otherwise by a professional, client held the words as cash in the bank.

More so, the op mentioned engine replacement, that meant he has been told by previous mechanic/s that an engine replacement was eminent then finally hope came from professionals but was soon dashed.

By returning the car op expects car to stop smoking and oil pressure light off. That's the focal point onwards.

I think I understand how it may look stupid but if I was a betting man I can wager that you won't get a first-grade 2007/2008 Acura MDX engine for about N350k. I am not an expert but I am thinking it may be about $1,000 (@N480/$) if not more.

Even with that, I can still understand why you may think it's stupid, but the thing here is that I believe professionals should be trusted (my opinion) in the same way I trust my doctor. If I can trust my life to a mere mortal simply because of the expert knowledge he/she possesses then I don't see why I shouldn't have trusted radautoworks' team of experts with an ordinary vehicle (just comparing it with human life).

Their professional opinion was that the engine is fine and needs a simple tune-up. If this is the case, buying an engine at that point can be compared to someone using a sledgehammer to kill an ant. Anyways, as I mentioned before: water under the bridge. What I need now are workable solutions. I would prefer to learn from the past while looking forward.

Trust is good, but it kills.

A good Dr will seek a second opinion when he is taking a major decision. Trusting the skill and experience of the best Dr can still be disastrous as no one is above mistakes.

In this case, trust is least of the issues. You had one major complaint, engine smoke and engine oil pressure light. Both are signs of a dying engine and it's not supposed to be hard for any mechanic to tell you the truth. Engine tune-up to some one like me is so vague, you may think otherwise. The only other thing that causes smoke at the same time doesn't require invasive work is a PCV valve. For any professional, that's the first point of call but going after steering, sump and axle leaks is somewhat diversionary.

It's like going to a Dr for a headache and the Dr refers you to an orthopedic for the k leg you have. I expect a repair plan like a Dr will do, let's change the PCV and observe for 3 days, if smoke stops, we now move to other things. A set of 23k plugs will not stop smoking nor stop the engine oil low pressure light.

You sounded like you were open to an engine replacement, you needed to have known how much the engine will cost you before committing to a tune-up that guarantees nothing.

This time I hope they learned their lessons and you learned yours too.

I mentioned here before that the easiest repair methods is throwing parts, this means that the skill set required is minimum. The real mechanic's experience shows with a broke customer who can't afford to pay to throw parts. That's why you need to understand mechanics to even identify the mechanic's skill.

Temmy3256:
Please I seriously need help nairalanders. So I met this guy (ola) January 6th, 2021.I saw he's my spec despite the fact that I have a boyfriend (in a long distant relationship though). Ola and I exchanged numbers and we started talking as friends. He asked if I'm in a relationship and I told him yes, but he made it clear he likes me even with the fact that I have a bf. Fast forward till middle January, I visited him (ola) at his place in Lagos though I stay in Lagos too and my bf leaves in Abuja. He asked me to pack for the weekend, so I spent roughly 3days. We had sex on my first visit to his place, told me everything I needed to know about him but I never told him any crucial stuffs about me cause I felt it was too early. Fast forward to February 2021, ola kept inviting me over to spend my weekend with him and I never for once objected the offer even if it's not convenient for me, I'll always find my way down from the island to the mainland virtually every weekend because I love him and likes his person. The love I have for my boyfriend has reduced drastically cause of his attitude though. So I went to ola's house, I discovered I'm not the only one he sleeps with, he smokes, places priority on himself alone/first before considering me, this guy will promise to send me my Tfare after leaving his place but I'll never receive any dime from him(I'm only being considerate here cause he's a business man and he has other bills he needed to settle) lemme just say he's very stingy. I confronted him to know if he has someone else, at that point he had to ask if he's the only one I sleep with, don't I have a bf, of which I told him he's been the only one and that's the fact. Well, thereafter he begged me he was sorry for asking such a question and I forgave him and had sex. The last sex we had resulted into pregnancy cause I was so worried my period didn't show up when it should come, so being weekend had to come to his place but got pregnancy test kit with me, in his presence I checked with this kit and got a positive result. I'm 25years old and he's 33years old, after seeing the result he told me he's sure I'm not ready for this, told me how my parents and aunties will be so disappointed in me, so to cut the long story short he said he'll help get abortion pills to flush the blood out cause is still very fresh. This is a guy I sacrifice my time for, would cook all his meal for a whole month, I don't disturb or call him for money, I don't argue or fight with him. Well, my question is should I take the abortion pill or I should tell him I'm not aborting so he should man up and take up responsibility. I don't mind quitting my job to avoid shame

If you want an abortion, look for a good hospital and get him to pay for it fully, don't take drugs risking your life and future for some one that clearly doesn't deserve it

Family › Re: Prince Harry And Meghan: Would You Choose Love Over Family? by adanny01(m): 8:35am On Mar 13, 2021

Richy4:
Based on what I read or watched on YouTube/ internet, He did not choose love over family..... He was disrespected..

Racism is something that should be frowned upon by everyone... Imagine discussing irrelevant things like what's gonna be the color of your baby in the name of royal protocol...

It's just like telling a couple who were expecting a baby that you know, your child will be an outcaste.. we the family members will not give him/her our name because you married an OSU... if you were to be in that man's shoes, are you gonna stand and be disrespected?

You know we have a comprehension problem in this country. Most Nigerians read the news in black and white.

It's just unfortunate the way they treated Harry, I would do even more if I were him.

True its not as simple as it looks, he didn't abandon his family to be with wife. He has children that the royals do not want to recognize, so he is standing for his children not the way Nigerians are going about.

Stop talking nonsense you Honda lover... So for your mind a sensible person will travel with Honda instead of a Benz.... Don't be funny. It's not compulsory to post... You hear.

You have not said a word in defense of the issue.

Imagine leaving Lagos on the way to Maiduguri and you have an ABS issue in Lokoja. If driving a modern german car, the journey has ended! I will rather my Honda ball joint pull out, it can be fixed in less than 30mins.

VW will not shift out of 1st gear, Benz limits you to a max of 60 with very very poor acceleration. You only get to 60 on a down hill. You will be crawling with hazard light by the side of the road till you order the parts probably from Lagos while Okada dey insult you of blocking their way.

What design leaves you with options of either expensive towing charge or inconvenient stranded repair? How about I get home first.

This has happened to me before, a journey I have done countless times in Honda and Toyota but had to sleep over in a Benz because of ABS.

No one can force you to be logical. You even have nothing to say. I will always choose team Logic over team Love

Your problem is definitely ABS system, you need a new one. I had thesame problem with my ML 350, it was diagnosed and replaced. The truck has been flawless ever since. The way the new generation Mercedes is designed when the brake system malfunction is to slow down, even the gear won't change from the lower gear and rev high so that you won't go fast and crash. It's a safety system built into the cars.

This is the very reason I am afraid of long journey with Benz and VW which I have confirmed will get you stranded with a simple ABS issue.

I was forced to travel for 2 days on a 1 day journey due to the Benz ABS shyt. VW's is even worst as there is no gear change with ABS fault. I assume Audi is the same. Jap mobile will continue moving only losing traction control and some safety features without losing out on speed to complete the trip

The idea of first body cars is one of the stupidest things propagated in Nigeria.

It's hilarious, because like 80% of cars that enter Nigeria are resprayed to an extent. First body? How na, when dem spray am before dem sell am as toks.

If the paint work is good, buy it. Even if it's not good, buy it. You fit spray car to good standard for ~100k. Much better than having to deal with mechanical issues.

The idea about 1st body should have been "not recently painted".

I hate buying a car painted as recent as 6 months prior to being sold, those sellers usually want to overprice the car by adding cost incurred during painting and panel beating. I prefer to buy and used my preferred panel beater and painter and add the cost to my overall buying price.

Yes, I understand, you should have said 2" from both sides which makes it 4"

Let’s do small tutorial on door ( let’s use ft and inches here)

Regular 3ft door as example,
- wall opening size width 3ft
- wall opening size height 7ft
Door frame 7*3 ft

Door leaf size; you will reduce 2” (50mm) from up, side A,side B and threshold[(this will take care of tiles or any floor finishings thickness)
( this reduction is for the frame)]
Now your door leaf size will be
- width 2ft 8”
- height 6ft 8”

So don’t expect your door to be 3ft by 7ft
When your builder, engr, or artisan deliver your door

2ft 10" wide
6ft 10" high

Remember 1ft is 12"

That's why I always prefer metric

Do you think he could have flew to Iwo road when we took over the matter last night?

I agree there was communication lapse which we are going to help our verified suppliers/contractors/owner builders work on but does that make him deserve the tag “Fraudster and Scammer.”

He wasn’t a scammer when he delivered woods to the site without payment but he was one because he couldn’t deliver within 48 hours.

I hv run a logistics company and still manage a supply chain . I know the challenges . U cant label someone a fraudster without tangible proofs. 48hrs to rushed off to ur Name calling. If u don't trust the process , dont make a deal . Now you hv succeeded in Labeling him a Fraudster and having ur roofing sheet , what happens to the irreparable damage u have done against his Name ??

Madam, that's you opinion but you know a for a fact that the client didn't first break the deal.

Client said supplier promised to deliver in 24hrs, 48hrs later supplier has not even communicated the client with any update. We all understand encumbrances and that they always happen. Even if the supplier lost his phone, he should've known the urgency in which he needs to communicate since he is in a middle of a deal and the table is on him, his reputation is also at stake but the supplier clearly failed.

I have lost several business opportunities just because I refused to promise the client his expected timeline. Everytime I did that the client got himself into problems.

The supplier failed even if he later delivered

peacealways:
am very interested in rice flour can you teach me the combination and how it produce it's taste better than semovita thanks

Actually, it's not rice flour. Even though I have seen white rice flour in shopping malls just like plantain, sweet potato, yam and cassava flour. I have tried all except for plantain and rice flour. The rice flour will do but will not taste like the real deal.

Please note that white rice is different from parboiled rice. Parboiled rice won't work. Parboiled rice is boiled with it's husk before removing the husk while white rice goes to the mill without boiling.

Tuwon shinkafa is normally cooked by soaking the rice for an hour to reduce cooking time and increased softness. The rice is cooked with plenty water till all the grains of rice overcooks to become very soft that if turned, becomes smooth and stick together.

The major challenge in cooking is the amount of water, as too much will make it too soft, too little will get it burnt and not become soft. Another point to note is that the rice is not turn or stirred until it has cooked and water dried else it burns. Also heat is set at low towards the end of cooking which aids drying of water and softening of rice grains. If properly done, you won't notice a single grain of rice when cooked.

If I were to cook the flour on the other hand, I will make a paste with cold water, pour the paste in boiling water and allow to cook for 10mins. Then add dry flour to thicken while stirring. Then close the pot and put the heat on low for 5mins. Turn off the heat and leave it closed for another 5mins before final turning and serving. This process is just like semo but It should cook longer than semo.

Remember, no two fufu/tuwo taste the same, even cooking method of time makes a difference.
