Don't rely on gauge, get a scan.

miniziter:
You mean wheat is not originally Nigeria thing?

It was but no more.

Like when cocoa, groundnut, cotton were Nigeria's major export, wheat was among them but no longer.

There are only two very few markets you will get wheat and only in small quantity.

All those flour, noodles companies you see in Nigeria, they rely on imports for wheat. Dangote, Honeywell etc

Imagine all the bread, noodles, semo, spaghetti etc we eat daily are from imports. Why do you think price of bread keeps going up.

djon78:
Not when one is married to insensitive and selfish partner

The insensitive and selfish partner can be male or female.

You seem to 4get

The problem is wheat is not produced commercially in Nigeria so I assume it's not cheaper considering time and effort.

So I don't see you getting it any cheaper unless the Corn and guinea corn versions

There are several swallow options we cook in the North
1 white rice (tuwon shinkafa)
2 Corn
3 Guinea corn
4 Acha
5 Cassava flour
6 sweet potato flour

Corn is not so starchy so a little bit of Cassava flour will make it look like semo. Even Acha is not cheap

Nicenancy:
What will u eat

I will rather not eat anyone than choose

I wouldn't think twice before picking the Accord

The AWD on the Venza or any car that is not an SUV or truck is a turn off for me. I like best of both worlds, performance and economy, AWD puts you no where. We don't have Ice, neither going off-road nor engaged in drag racing.

How I wish Honda started their turbo engines earlier, that would've been awesome

igbosoupkitchen:
When she says dont talk, she is talking about the power of silence, for a woman who was tagged as "nagging" amd suddenly goes quiet,trust me everyone will be dying to hear her speak.

I agree with the advice, at this time dear OP , silence is golden

Silence will make it worst.

Trust me, if she keeps quiet, she will die in silence.

What she needs is to turn the table on her husband.

If her husband sees her talking and laughing with both his beloved brother and mother, what do you think will happen?

Take this from a man.

Women don't understand diplomacy, that's what she needs not to keep quiet. She needs to be tactical. Surprise her foes and bring them close. Call them, visit them, show them your good side and the husband will be the one to shut up. He will be scared where their loyalty is so he will talk less about her to them.

She keeps quiet and it's over. That's what he actually wants.

Bennycollins:
I never thought we still had brainless people in this country. If you don't have what to say, keep quiet. Anyway you are not exempted from whatever. You will have sense eventually.

Brainless? What business do I have with you that you insult me.

If you had a point, why not say it instead of insults

lexy2014:
Ok. Pls tell me d truth about cooking gas and why d price keeps going up

Over 50% of LPG used by Nigerians is imported. That means we produce less than 50% of what we consume.

The LPG pump price is not regulated by NNPC so market forces determine the final price. That means the price is dependent on imports, same as diesel, Kerosene, petrol, cooking gas and all petroleum products we consume.

Until we produce 100% of what we use, the price of petroleum products will be determined by foreign exchange

Worldlychild:
i grew up knowing that my father left my mother, which led my mother to kill herself.
what a cruel world ?
I was left to the street early with one single thoughy, you're alone from this moment, look for your own food look for your own shelter or perish. I will never forgive that man whom thee called my father whom I never know or had any clue to know him.
I regret coming to this world. I am just a child of the world. malnourished, punished and never had a home to call my own. how I made it till this moment is the magical question no one could answer.
maybe there is a purpose to this life but who am I to tell?
I am starving I am on the street 24hours fighting for food or where to sleep. how many of kids like me has made it successfully before ? rather than killing us or dieing without anyone looking for us ?

I can't survive anymore. I need a family. I need medical attention. I need food. nobody owe me a dime but I believe somebody can relate to my endless suffering and help. staying 4 days now without eating but garri. I only eat well when I steal nobody see us worthy for anything good. I don't want want to steal before I eat no more I need help and deliverance for I am changed. but I will never forgive my father.
I am lost for I know no religion too.

How come you write so good?

How old are you?

Where did you get a phone and the data for this post?

Angelluvy:
Yes. You're right. That's past now, the deed has been done.

No, it's not in the past.

She can do the abortion and hysterectomy at once.

If her husband accepts her that way then that's good but if not she should know that he never meant to be the person she thought.

This situation is like an AS genotype couple that know what they are doing but still insist on doing it for love.

It's possible he didn't want to lose her and pretended.

She has to sit down with her husband and talk reality. I feel like she is the one emotionally blackmailing her husband.

There are husband's that have been by their wife's for all their lives when they couldn't bare children, but its not that they don't want children.

It's naive of her to think he will not want kids if the opportunity avails itself.

I have seen guys who love a girl that doesn't want sex till wedding day, but the guy gets his sex elsewhere and still love the one he is not having sex with. The girl who is not having sex is delusional about her status.

AuroraBrls:
so if any of the results comes out negative u will chase the child away to go and look for the father... punishing and innocent child for the errors of a parent...the human heart is capable of great wickedness...a child that has been calling you daddy for years...reminds me of how OKONKWO of umuofia mowed down Ikemefuna, just to appear brave...l have seen cases of African parents who adopted a baby later told the grown up kid to go and look for his parents as they have now gotten their own biological kids...much why l like lslams position on matters like this. the child is urs and shall remain so whether ur wife cheated or not... no child deserves such trauma.. find a way to settle score with ur wife if need be. but as an African man if you born outside and bring him home nothing will happen

I am disgusted by your comment.

Imagine if you give birth to a child in the hospital and the nurse swaps your baby and then 20years later you learned of what happened.

Will you say oh it's ok since I have another woman's child already? I love the one I took home and don't care about my biological child?

A man loves, provides and labour for his family, if the children in that family are not his that man is living a lie no matter how much love he has for the children.

Did op adopt his children?

If you as a mother really care for your children you should not lie to them who fathered them.

Any decision op takes, I wouldn't blame him but for you to call him wicked, in fact you are the one who is wicked because you see no wrong.

Sixfeetbelle:
Because you already had doubts that prompted you to run a DNA test, even if the result comes out positive, your mind will still not be at rest. It's like someone who is already experiencing body pains and feverish feelings going for a malaria test and being told nothing is wrong with him.

That being said, I want you to know there's a gap in your matrimony already and DNA wahala won't make it disappear. In fact, if the result comes out negative, I suspect you'd react far worse than you may have thought you would.

My advice: Use the time before this test comes out to work on your marriage.



The optimistic side of me wishes it comes out positive, however, the realist in me patiently awaits the opposite.

Have you heard of cheaters remorse? Not guilt.

It makes one to truly regret and correct his ways and repair the broken relationship.

Doubt is a terrible thing. It's possible that op will feel remorseful for suspecting his wife and would do anything and everything to make her forgive him and also be a better husband.

If op confirms his children are his, what do you think it will be, more trust on his wife and the better for her.

Look at this DNA test as a good thing for both husband and wife.

004gist:
I got this story from a friends wall, narrating how his Wedding was called off by the church





Here is another video where a wedding was called off by the pastor


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx4ydIk8xTk

Jesu!

Is this for real?

Pastor no dey fear God

StPete:
How can a man trick you when you first have the power to use birth control pills of several kinds if you're so dedicated to not having children.

Also, if she truly didn't want any child, she would've done an abortion without mentioning it to her husband

She should have done Hysterectomy before meeting her husband.

SEGLIZ:
public speakers.
this bunch of idiots just do turn to face the nation promising hardship and pains without fear.

The previous PDP were always lying that the economy was growing and even revalued the economy to put it in positive light when their own minister was warning us that recession was lurking around.

We got lied to and we complained, we get told the truth now but we still complaining.

Which would you prefer truth or lies? Subsidy/corruption or or higher fuel cost.

GreekDon:
You are right. The 8th generation accord (2008-2012) uses the same suspension set up with early models. Good thing with the 2008 model is that they are bigger and more sturdy. However, Honda changed this from the 9th generation( 2013 to 2017). Infact, I have my eyes on those models especially 2016/2017. They are beauty to behold and will never have ball joint failures.

Yes from the parts I have seen, the 9th generation Accord is a Macpherson suspension.

YourhealthNG2:
Thank you so much for this advice. I'll get a toks radiator cap and fix.

But first, the mechanic says the top gasket is damaged already because of multiple episodes of overheating. So I've told him to get all that is required and fix a new top gasket.

Meanwhile, is it true that coolant is not compatible with new radiator? The new radiator, I was told, is the original and aluminium type. But the mechanic said pouring in coolant will spoil it (I usually use total coolant and I do not add ordinary water).

I really don't know about the coolant in new radiator problem.

Radiator is always aluminum.

Solve your cooling issues with water before thinking of coolant when it is stable

Uyi168:
..
There is no much difference between the two.
The one delivered need ironing..

And the size is big for her statue

YourhealthNG2:
Yes, coolant (actually ordinary water because it's a new radiator and I was told use of coolants will spoil the new radiator) pour out especially from the radiator reservoir.

An electrician has checked the fan and confirmed it's okay. The fan was recently connected directly in the course of finding solution to the overheating..

Then your problem is a very simple N1000 solution.

The radiator cap is bad.

The coolant is not supposed to flow from the radiator to the reserve tank. The cap is supposed to make a good seal keeping the cooling system under pressure. Water expands when boiling, with a bad cap, this causes it to spill out till it runs dry. When it runs dry, that means there is no cooling.

Secondly, the reason you will not see it in the temp gauge is that the temp sensor is a contact sensor, it has to be in contact with the coolant to read but without coolant, you will not get the correct reading.

Lastly, don't buy a new cap, get a toks radiator cap. Yours should have a value, 0.9, 1.1 etc Get the same number.

kenbee:
When I was a kid, the major tribes/ethnic groups in Nigeria was Hausa, Igbo & Yoruba but now all I year about is
Fulani herdsmen, Cows, Bokoharam, Bandits and Miyeti Allah

Anything with Fulani is not acceptable

Major tribes yes, still the
Hausa, Igbo ,Yoruba

But once you say ethic groups, you will hear
Hausa/Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba

As if Fulani is the same ethnicity with Hausa

dicksonadams:
But don't any other car brand use the same double wishbone setup, why ain't the problem rampant with them too

The first thing you will notice is, cars in the class of the Accord don't use the Double wíshbone suspension. Those that used to went back to Macpherson eg Benz. Also, the usage of the double wíshbone is limited to performance cars and larger wheel vehicles such as trucks and SUVs.

For their own reasons, Honda has always moved in favour of driving experience at the detriment of reliability hence its continued use of Double wíshbone.

We all know the class of people who get the Honda in Nigeria as used cars are the low income earners, even lower than the Toyota users except for those who naturally prefer the Honda like me obviously. Of course you won't see a brand new Honda with a failed ball joint, it comes with the age of the vehicle and in Nigeria our maintenance abilities, our mechanics and OEM parts availability. Buy a brand new Honda, replace the ball joint with the chinko we have available, you will have the first brand new car to fail in the middle of the road.

First generation Toyota Tacoma and third generation 4runner are notorious for this problem, other generations of the same cars not so much.

Even the Accord, if you do the right thing it won't happen. People say 2008 Accord doesn't pull, I have seen it pull more than once.

The point is that a double wíshbone suspension comes with that disadvantage from factory, it is the user that prevents it from happening. Just like forced induction engines come with a downside right from factory, the user is still responsible for how long the engine runs.

Secondly, how rampant, is a statistical factor, the next question is how rampant is Toyota Tacoma to Honda Accord? Other statistical factors will broaden the scope, like what class of people buy these cars. The frequency of the failure is directly proportional to the frequency of the car itself and the type of people who use it.

weyreypey:
The w124 w210 Mercedes models use the double wishbone set up. Say something else

In those days, that was a very common sight on these cars

an0daGuy:
I understand the 2008 model and above accords don’t have this ball joint issue but they still maintain the double wishbone suspension setup. So what changed?

To understand why you will need to see the ball joint of pre 2008 ball joint and compare with the post 2008.

The 2008 Accord did increase in size and weight, the suspension parts also increased in size considerably.

The 2008 ball joint is quite bigger in size, this increased size takes more stress and strain.

ZIMDRILL:
it has nothing with do with weight but just general poor maintaince ball joints do wear and tear

problem with people is that they ignore the signs of a worn out ball joint

do you really think honda can not figure weight issue ? they spent millions on research they even have an F1 team

Ball joint failure is not a general lack of maintenance issue. There are three ways the ball joint paints

1 Ball stud shearing: this never happens to an OEM ball joint. Further more, it never happens even with a low grade ball joint in a Macpherson suspension. When a ball joint fails this way, the steel the ball joint itself is made of is low grade meaning the ball joint is of low quality. Over 50% of failure we see is this type of owners who replaced their ball joints with a substandard replacement ball joint. This failure occurs most times without a sign so the car can be in good condition and kaboom, you are stuck.

2 Ball pull out: this is entirely maintenance related and their are warning signs. There is no excuse for this failure.

3 Nut or stud stripped thread: this is a totally preventable failure. To prevent is by using cotter pin which our mechanics deliberately remove and never put back. Funny enough, I have seen ball joints without cotter pin holes, your guess is as good as mine.

The point of the thread is that a factor for the detoriation and subsequent failure is the weight bearing by the ball joint in a Double wíshbone system. Am sure you have never seen failure 1 and 3 on a Macpherson suspension, that's because it bears far less axial weight.

dawnomike:
That honda,'s wishbone is not for Nigeria..

Is Hilux made for Nigeria?

Honda Accord in particular has always had the Double wishbone front suspension which is known for better performance while Toyota Camry always had the Macpherson suspension which is known to be reliable and cheaper to build.

We see more failure in the Double wishbone suspension in general not because it has a design flaw but because of what am about to show you.

The issue is weight, which is a force that every suspension system must transmit safely to the road surface.

The medium of transmission of weight of the car to the ground is always through the strut or shock absorber. This force is shown with the first arrows on both types of suspension in the picture below.

The path for this force is different for the 2 suspensions.

The Macpherson suspension has the strut bolted to the hub which means the weight is transmitted from strut>hub>wheel>road.

The double wishbone suspension however transmits the weight from strut>lower control arm>ball joint>hub>wheel>road.

Looking at the fact that the ball joint is a critical weight bearing part in the double wishbone suspension but not in the MacPherson suspension, we understand why an inferior quality ball joint may not withstand the stress for long. Also looking at the ball joint in the 2 types of suspension, you will notice that the ball joint in a Double wíshbone suspension is quite larger to a Macpherson suspension ball joint, a design meant to accommodate more stress.

When next you see a Honda Accord with the "K-Leg", just just know that it is not a Honda design flaw, it is a Double wíshbone suspension system weak point that the particular owner is responsible for.

Honda uses the Macpherson suspension in the Civic while Toyota uses the Double wíshbone suspension in their SUVs such as Land cruiser, Prado, Hilux etc

Good for you

Chibaba247:
Kindly criticize or comment on this plan of mine, a 3 bedroom bungalow all ensuit, with a 2 bedroom bq

That dinning room is major flaw.

It has no window or direct access to light and fresh air. Installing AC is a challenge.

I have seen a house with such a dinning but eating there won't be fun. Eating hot food in a place that is not ventilated and without AC will be very uncomfortable.

officialfestus:
My samsung phone with inbuilt battery fell inside a pool and it was still until i shut it down and wipe the water off,after sometime i on it and it powered on and was still working,then i shut it down again and started shaking it to remove the water inside, but now it rufuses to power on,any help on how to go about it ?

Next time, don't shake it or on it

Just put it inside raw rice and put the whole thing in the sun for an 1hr then leave the phone in the rice for 24hrs

Describe the overheating.

You said it doesn't show at the temp gauge so what else show's over heating.

Does coolant pour out during the overheating? From where? Does the radiator become empty? Is cooling fan auto or direct? Is fan turning right direction?

Missis:
You are not a bad person OP, you are only reacting like a normal person would to maltreatment and injustice.

A lot of men unfortunately don't understand what it means to be a leader after marriage, they dont understand that their families must be protected and the wife must be shown love.
I don't know why many of them become so cold blooded and cruel to their wives after marriage. I am in different facebook groups for married women and if you read some of the things the ladies write sometimes you will feel like crying for them.

I am truly sorry that you had to pass through all of this, please try to be strong. Get a hobby or something else to distract you from your husband's behaviour so you don't overthink and become depressed or develop high bp. The truth is that majority of males will NEVER understand how their insensitive actions affect their wives, males are not naturally as sympathetic and caring as females, please try to be strong and try to ignore him and his behaviour.
Only leave if you are very sure you will be able to sustain yourself and the kids and your leaving will not jeopardize their futures in anyway.

I could relate to some of what you wrote, my hubby brought his best friend to the house too and started to disregard my feelings and talk down on me in front of him just to make his friend happy, I even started a thread on Nairaland about it. That period I started to withdraw and stay in the bedroom away from both of them because I didn't want the constant putdowns and insults he is fond of insulting me whenever people are around, not just his friend. I am an introvert and he is very extroverted and good with words so he just blurts out anything he feels like and even tells lies against me because he is always talking.

I cant count how many negative things this man has said about me behind my back in the past, to family and friends. This is someone that doesnt provide for me, I have a heart condition and he knows it but keeps doing things to stress me out and leaving the bulk of housework for m even when I was very sick and weak in bed, he kept sending the children to me for me to take care of them because they were disturbing him. I dont even want to go into details of everything so I dont hijack your thread but the important thing is to make as much money as possible and save for a day or time when you may have to bail yourself. That is what I am doing currently.

I didn't say you must leave him becaue it is possible you might reconcile your differences and become lovers of each other in future but save money in case anything happens.
Save, save, save and hide your money from him because he will try to take it away if he finds out you have a lot of money. Save to provide the best life for your kids, I felt very bad when you said your hubby let's his brother change the tv station even when your kids are watching their cartoons. Aside the fact that he ought to have put his kids first, how much is television again? Some direct Belgium televisions go for as low as 23k in the market, you can save and buy for them but don't let it cause more trouble in your house.

Untill you can leave the house please look for something to do to make yourself happy, don't focus on him but focus on your kids instead and double your hustle.

Majority of women are not happy in their marriages, na bear them dey bear.

When you want to get a story like this right, don't assume things that you cannot be too sure.

Are you telling me because you have been on other women groups and heard so many stories so this means these women are all maltreated by men.

It may surprise you to find out things are different from what you were told. These stories are given to you with a lot of sentiment, highly opinionated and sometimes intended to attract sympathy which the person needs as encouragement to continue in the wrong perception of their situations.

Girls are raped, boys are raped too but how many times do you hear a case of a raped boy?

Women suffer in the hands of men, men suffér in the hands of women but you get to hear one side every time without hearing the other side.

The problem is how we think of the situation.

Op came hear with a problem, our responsibility is to pick her fault and tell her how to become better. If you tell her her husband is at fault without telling her her own faults, she makes no corrections and it becomes worst.

Worst is telling her how to become worst, example telling her to hide her money. What if the husband finds out and it becomes worst for them. He provides his for the family and she hides hers, if I find out then it's not about the money, but the trust.

pointblank247:
My advice is simply.
1. Work hard and become very independent by being very successful.
2. Focus on your kids and God.
3. Take very good care of your self.
4. Don't complain, don't even talk much.
5. Watch them " die" of jealousy and curiosity

Are you married?

Am sure if someone advice your wife tobe independent, you will curse him or her.

Don't talk?

Just tell her to get a divorce, cause that's indirectly what you mean
