Verse spoke of gluttony. How you managed to make it the context for alcohol is what I don't understand .

You have actually done what you wrongly accused me off.
Are you dumb? Where did you see me make it a context of alcohol.

I am talking about the entire chapter which is Solomon's advice against gluttony, drunkenness etc which is not law of God or Jesus.

If Drunkenness means to anyone that Christians should avoid wine then gluttony should also mean Christians should avoid food which is carried in verse 2 of that chapter.

Comprehension is a major problem these days, ish!
Food › Re: HERO Beer: Market Implications With Their Affiliation To South Africa Business by adanny01(m): 10:28am On Sep 08, 2019
seunrebirth:
SABMILLER (South African Breweries), Interfact LLC. based in Onitsha, Anambra State. Makers and owner of the Hero Lager beer, Eagle lager beer are fully South Africa Shareholdings.

There' have always been this wrong assumption that Peter Obi owns Hero beer which has attracted large patronage to the beer in the Eastern part of the country and Nigeria in General, but the unassailable truth is that South Africa breweries fully owns Hero 100%.

Peter Obi was just a business influencer, just like MTN has Pascal Dozie as a local face used for Local continent policy. South African Breweries in Nigeria making money to fund their Government at home to kill our own Nigeria brother. What an irony, taking advantage of the Nigerian people's Ignorance

For this alone, I have stop drinking HERO BEER and any other related drinks associated with SA.
From today, No HERO beer on my table.

No, the Bible doesn't say we can drink but not get drunk. The Bible says DON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. Proverbs 23:31
That was Solomon speaking not God or Jesus. It was an advice to those who are drunkards, gluttons, voluptuous, people who have high appetite etc.

Vs 2 says, "and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to gluttony."

Reading 1 verse without knowing the context of the chapter is wrong translation. Be guided.

DanielJones:
The bible is presented to us as the word of God but you also need to understand how to start looking at it as the word of God flowing out from different writers with different personalities. Solomon's advice in the book of Proverbs should not be examined out of context. God used him to warn many who are addicted to drinking alcohol. There are parts of his writings where he would encourage us to drink our favourite wine and go out with the best women we choose because life is short. Paul in the new testerment made reference to drinking alcohol as a remedy to health issue. In other books in the new testerment the same God used prophets like Moses to pass messages to the people about alcohol.

@OP The bible is from and of God but you need to get to the level where you start seeing the bible as a flow of God's pure expression to human spiced up by the personal experience and the personality of the writer. This one of the reasons we have it as compilation of books. Ask yourself why God instructed Samson not to taste alcohol from birth but King David never received such instruction from God. Why did God instruct Hoses to marry prostitute but didn't instruct Samson, Elijah, Moses to do so. All prophets have personal encounter with God and God deals with you according to his covenant with you.

So, be guided.
Best comment so far.

Translating the Bible out of context is the greatest threat to Christianity.

If the mechanic is right, then it could be the plunger or a worn out pinion joint. The problem is definitely a steering system problem.

alBHAGDADI:
Hello,

There's this wrong believe among Christians that the Bible supports drinking alcohol but only in moderation. They say we can drink alcohol but we shouldn't get drunk. Well, I will be using Bible verses to show that Christians are not to look at alcohol not to talk of drinking it. Also, this thread will debunk common lies told to support drinking alcohol e.g Jesus turning water to wine.

The word wine is mentioned 231 times in the Bible. But the mistake we make today is that we think the wine mentioned is just alcholic wine. Half the time wine is mentioned in the Bible, it is about fruit juice.

In the Greek and Hebrew languages in which the Bible was written in, the word translated as wine was used to refer to alcohol and also fruit juice. So when those who translated the Bible into English did so, they had to look for an English word which could mean alcoholic beverage and fruit juice. That word is wine. You might wonder why the translators didn't make things easy for us by just writing fruit juice when the verse is talking of fruit juice and write alcoholic beverage when it's about alcohol. The thing is, doing such would mean they are injecting their own idea into the Bible.

Now, in modern times, we have this believe that wine means an alcoholic drinks. That's why we think the word wine in the Bible is always referring to alcohol. Let's me show you that wine in the Bible doesn't always mean alcoholic beverage but fruit juice.



As seen above, wine is found in the cluster i.e wine still in the cluster of grapes. This is purely fruit juice and not alcoholic.

However, grapes usually have a white powdery film around it called yeast. It is that yeast that is made use of to make alcoholic wine. They crush the grapes and in the process the yeast mixed with the fruit juice that was inside grape cluster. Next fermentation takes place then the result if alcoholic wine. Most times, wine makers add more yeast to attain the desired alcohol level. So you see, wine moved from normal fruit juice before it became alcoholic wine after yeast was added.

Now, there are two types of wine as explained above: The alcoholic and fruit juice. There's a certain type of wine the Bible said we shouldn't even look at, not to talk of touching our lips with it. Read the passage below.



The verse above is talking about alcoholic wine. It even describes fermentation process. It says we shouldn't even look at that type of wine. Yet some folks say we can drink it in moderation.



It describes the feeling one gets after drinking alcohol. It's a horrible feeling.



Have you ever had alcohol such that after taking it, women whom you would never touch with a ten foot poll suddenly start looking attractive to you? The above verse describes it as the effect of alcohol. It also describes how you start saying all sorts of junks which you would not normal say.



Remember when you lie down after taking alcohol and the whole bed seems like you are swimming, and also you feel like you are floating and your eyes being dizzy. That's the feeling described.



After the whole horrible night and you wake up to hangover, what's the cure drunkards usual prescribe? They say to cure hangover, start drinking again. That's what the above passage described.

Yet, some people say we can drink alcohol in moderation and that it only becomes a sin when we get drunk. Sorry buddy, the Bible says don't even look at it.

The Bible doesn't say we should drink alcohol in moderation. It says we should be sober at all times (1 Thessalonians 5:6 Titus 2:3).

Now let's see the common verses people love to twist to try to say we can drink alcohol

The first is found in the passage where Jesus turned water into wine. They fail to realize that it was fruit juice kind of wine, not the alcoholic or fermented one. Let's examine the passage carefully.



According to some people, it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into and gave the people at the wedding to drink. However, a closer look shows that not to be the case.

Pay close attention to verse 10 where the Bible says when men have well drunk. Let's see how the New International Version (NIV) renders that verse.



If it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into, then it basically means he wanted to destroy the guests at the wedding. After they have had too much to drink, Jesus decided to give them more. That means if there were cars back then, many would have accidentally on their way home. Remember the passage in Proverbs 23 which talks about the horrible effects alcohol. If we say these people were already drunk on alcohol, then Jesus just helped them double those effect in their life by giving them more. This means they would start to behold strange women and say perverse things. Now, tell me, who would want to listen to Jesus preach the next morning after the "alcoholic wine" he gave them to drink made some of the men to sleep with their housemaid to the anger of their wives? Made them to saw perverse things to their boss? Made them to sleep in the gutter? Yet you say Jesus gave people alcohol to drink.

Jesus didn't give anybody alcohol to drink. Doing so would mean he's a liar. Remember what he said in the passage below.



If it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into at the wedding in Cana, then he abolished the law and the prophet which spoke against alcoholic wine in Proverbs 23:31. So clearly it wasn't alcoholic wine he turned water into but fruit juice.

Another passage people love to use for an excuse to drink alcohol is seen below.

Mathew 11:18-19
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

The above passage talks about a false accusations against Jesus who pointed out how they also falsely accused John the Baptist. Yet, some people will say because Jesus was accused of being a drunkard then it means he use to drink alcohol. Was John the Baptist possessed with a devil? No, but he was accused of such. I now wonder why you believe Jesus drank alcohol due to some false accusations. Remember, the accusation is that he was a drunkard. So if you use this verse to justify drinking alcohol, then don't get angry when some tells you that Jesus use to fall into gutter after getting drunk; he use to behold strange women and say perverse things. Can you see how wrong they are with their interpretation of the passage?

Another verse they use is seen below.




They pick the verse out context and say God is telling us that we can buy alcohol and drink it. If you read the previous verses, you will see that the context is about tithing. Those items listed alongside strong drink are to be brought to the temple for sacrifice to God. Some are eating, but it excludes the strong drink because nowhere in the above passage does it say drink the strong drink, same way it doesn't say drink the oil. Now, see what the strong drink is used for.



The strong drink or wine is poured out onto the Lord for a drink offering. It is not to be drank at all. But people have twisted the verse in Deutoronomy 14:26 to mean God is saying we can drink alcohol even when he said in Proverbs 23 that we shouldn't even look at it.

Guys, drinking alcohol is a sin and every Christian should abstain from it. Don't let anybody fool you into think moderation is the key. A little sip sends your good sense of judgment out the window. That's when another glass or bottle won't seem like a bad idea. And note, wine has tripple alcohol content that four bottles of beer. So don't think drinking a glass of wine is sophisticated. You are emore alcoholic than the beer drinker.
You are full of shyt. The first verse you mention mentioned wine. You went ahead ahead to say the wine is fruit juice!!!

What is wine?

Merriam-Websters

1a : the alcoholic fermented juice of fresh grapes used as a beverage
b : wine or a substitute used in Christian communion services
2 : the alcoholic usually fermented juice of a plant product (such as a fruit) used as a beverage
blackberry wine
3 : something that invigorates or intoxicates
4 : a dark red

Wine is Fermented juice. If it is not fermented, it is just juice so do not turn the bible on its head. The people who translated the bible know what stuff they are talking about.

You are decieving yourself and other gullible Christians who are lazy to read and understand the Bible for themselves while waiting for people like you to mislead them with propaganda.

Most of the verses up there, you quoted out of context.

Proverbs 23:
1When you sit down to eat with a ruler,
observe carefully what is before you,
2 and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to appetite.


If you read verse 2 alone, you should have killed yourself by now. Reading verse 2 alone will definitely mean to anyone out of context just like you read verse 31 alone.

To understand what a verse is talking about
, you need to read the entire chapter. What in this case is the context of chapter 23?

The entire chapter is Solomon's advice against overeating, drunkenness etc. It is not a law or a sin to eat food or drink wine. He teaches self control from indulging in excess.

Am sure you have never read Bible commentary.

I've changed my lower arms sometimes ago and Ball Joints of recent also and my mechanic said "that my Tie Rods are okay" so I'm like what could be the Cause? Again

That kind of issue is typically a steering system issue.

My guess is either the outer or inner tie rod ends. There is definitely a gap on it creating excess steering play.
Politics › Re: Nigeria’s $9 Billion Debt To P&ID: Everything You Need To Know by adanny01(m):
Shoodboi:
No. I didn't delve into politics.

I did my very best to make sure I present the entire issue without supporting any side over the other.

I just wanted to present the whole issue as it is.

I actually started writing the article with the intention of exposing P&ID as a fraud until I realised it was probably not a fraud.

What we have here is a deal gone bad. One which every government from Yar'adua down to Buhari handled terribly.
Your post is one of the most captivating and educative post i have read on Nairaland.

However, this thing happened during the tenure of 3 presidents out of which you stated how the cabal of Yaradua was probably complicit, how GEJ only negotiated an out of court settlement at the twilight of his tenure then couldn't have paid. When it came to Buhari's turn, you portrayed him a weak and slow president. Most of the things you said about the Buhari had little or no direct link to the subject.

Am talking about this part of your post.

Why didn’t Buhari just pay?

Buhari is infamous for four terrible things:

1. Running a country into a recession within a short period.
2. Leaving the country for long periods of time.
3. Flouting agreements and court orders.
4. Delaying in appointing ministers.
All four got him into the current mess with P&ID.



Prove it…




The then General Buhari ran Nigeria into a recession during his one year and eight month long tenure that lasted from December 31, 1983 to August 27, 1985.

He ran Nigeria into a second recession soon after he became president in 2015. This one lasted from 2016 until 2017.

Experts say he will lead Nigeria into a third recession from mid-2020 until 2021.

Buhari was slow in appointing ministers after he was elected president in 2015 and 2019.

He took six months to appoint ministers in 2015 and three months in 2019.

The 2019 appointments could be considered six months if we count from February when he won the polls.

(Buhari was sworn in as president on May 29th in both instances.)

In 2015, Buhari only appointed Abubakar Malami as Attorney General and Minister of Justice on November 11.

On July 17, 2015, two months after Buhari became president, an arbitration tribunal in the UK upheld the $6.6 billion March 2013 judgment against Nigeria.

Nigeria was minister-less at the time.

Buhari is also in the habit of leaving the country for long periods of time to receive medical treatment in the UK.

In 2017, he even spent four months in the UK — at a single stretch.

Sometimes, he did not even bother handing over to Osinbajo before leaving.

Even when he handed over, the Aso Rock cabal still bypassed Osinbajo and flew documents to Buhari to sign while he was still receiving treatment in the UK.

This was what they did with Yar’Adua.

The public soon found out, causing Buhari to tell members of the cabal to direct all official documents to Osinbajo.

Let’s not talk about that part where Buhari disobeys court orders and agreements.
You didn't expect Buhari to become president and in 2months he pays off $850m out of court settlement arranged by his predecessor. I wouldn't do that, am sure you wouldn't do that either.

You said all 4 got him into the mess with P&ID, when Nigeria's recession actually started in 2014 with a 60% fall in crude oil price which directly meant Nigeria's revenue dropped by 60% plus with an already depleted foreign reserve. Nigeria's recession was totally inevitable. Ministers are policy enforcers of the Executive, is the P&ID issue a policy issue such that an acting minister (Perm sec couldn't handle? Delay in appointment of ministers couldn't have been a reason for the predicament. Flauting agreements and court orders statement is highly a political statement and has no direct link to the P&ID issue.

This post is not about politics or whatever. It is not about Buhari and Jonathan or whatever.

It's just to allow people (Nigerians) understand what really happened. You can add more information that you know.

We'll be screwed if P&ID gets that money. All of us. From the pro-Buhari supporters to the pro-Jonathan supporters.
I liked the post and read every word of it. I was only disappointed when it dived into politics which i never expected to read.

From the diving, it concludes that Buhari is responsible and Yaradua/Jonathan had no fault or responsibility.

I asked myself this question, if Buhari is responsible for the predicament due to his inactions, when did P&ID sue Nigeria in the first place, was it 2015-2019? Why didn't the president at the time send lawyers to represent it but you expect Buhari to have done same.

You said Nigerian lawyers argued in court, who sent them?

My final thoughts is that a beautiful and educative post was a little bit spoilt by a little biasness.
Car Talk › Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by adanny01(m): 11:45am On Aug 27, 2019
Mrford:
Your temperature sensor is a two wire sensor one is a 5volts reference voltage from the ecu while the 2nd one is a signal wire back to the ecu. As the engine gets hot the resistance in the ect changes which is sent to the ecu in form of a voltage through the signal wire. The ecu uses that information to determine the amount of fuel to send into the cylinder and when to turn on the fan. When you unplug the wiring harness to the ect, the ecu assumes a hot engine condition and in turn switchs on the fan.
You are almost correct, only that you mixed up ECT 1 and ECT 2. There are actually 2 temp sensors. ECT 2 is on the radiator and controls the fan while ECT 1 is the actual Temp the ECU uses to control temperature related parameters and the temp gauge.

ECT 1 measures the coolant temperature leaving the engine going into the radiator while ECT 2 measures the coolant temp leaving the radiator coming into the engine. ECT 2 determines whether cooling is required or not by turning on or off the fan when the coolant leaving the radiator has reached maximum or minimum preset temp while ECT 1 tells the ECU how hot or cold the engine is running which is used to control the IVAC at cold start and amount of fuel to released by injectors.

That won't work on an 07 accord, except you mean bridging the relay contact..

From experience I would suggest he troubleshoots the fan control relay circuit before going to sensor.. Using the same car, I have driven around with a bad ECT2 sensor and my fan still cycled off & on as it should..

I guess the ECM noticed the sensor under the radiator was giving wrong reading and controlled the fan via the sensor on the engine block
True, i presumed 2003-7 would be same, it happened to a friend's 08 Accord.

However, he also experienced erratic over heating. The fan still cycled on and off normally at idle but never at specific temp bands. Once a while it will overheat. His case wasn't a bad sensor but the connector was somehow removed after engine replacement so wasn't connected.

I did live scan and noticed it would exceed its normal temp band before engaging the fan. My assumption was that the ECU relied on ECT 1 in the absence of ECT 2 unlike my 2003 which relied entirely on ECT 2. This, in my view is correct because ECT 1 is the outgoing engine coolant temp while ECT 2 is the incoming Engine coolant temp knowing that the outgoing temp is always higher.

In that case the erratic over heating stopped when the ECT 2 was connected.

The radiator fan of my 2007 Honda Accord i4 stopped working, making the car to overheat. But when the AC is turned on, both fans come on.

A fuse was changed and it seemed the car was okay, but the issue came up again the next day.

the rewire is asking that I change the thermostat.
Does the thermostat affect the working of the radiator fan?
I was thinking it would be the Coolant temperature sensor.

Would appreciate if anyone could help me out.
I has happened to me.

Its not your thermostat, it is you coolant temperature sensor 2. Yes there are 2 of them but the 2 controls the fan. It is located at the bottom left of your radiator.

You have 3 options,
1. Replace the sensor
2. Bridge the connector (Fan will run with IGN II ON)
3. Constantly drive with AC on

Issue. Car has been parked for over a month. Prior to parking, car had no issue.
Tried to start car two days ago but realised the battery was flat.
Tried to jump-start. Car started, ran for about 10 seconds and went off. All efforts to restart proved abortive.
Bought another battery and tried again but car won't start.
No check engine light.
Replaced all coils and plugs. There is spark on all plugs when tested.
Fuel pump hums as should and fuel flowed out of the fuel line when opened. Fuel pressure okay as per what I saw.
The replacement plugs got wet after periods of cranking and were dried and brushed clean and reinstalled.
Hand held scanner showed the rpm to be about 200rpm during cranking.

Is this possible at this mileage?

Automatic TRANSMISSION Fluid.

I have been guilty of using ATF in PS but i know better now. Now, i use engine oil instead in the absence of the real PS fluid. I learnt the hard way that engine oil is a better subtitute of PS oil oil than ATF.

In the same vein, those who do not know that the source of constant PS problem is ATF also do not know that the constant keg problem is chinko ball joints. My own mechanic has even stopped installing chinko ball joints on his clients cars for fear of been blamed.

Even when i broke my wheel one time after hitting a nasty pothole at 140kmph, my ball joint is still intact since 2013 when i bought the car Naija used. I have recently clocked 200k miles on the car still rocking the factory fitted ball joint.

Did you know that beans is mostly carbohydrate? Most people think of it as protein but it’s not. The carbohydrate value in beans is more than the protein but because among the staple foods in Nigeria, beans happen to be the few with protein, that is why it is wrongly regarded as such.
Let me do a comparison between rice, beans and yam.

Rice has 2.7% of protein and 28% of carbohydrate
Beans has 23.5% of protein and 60% of carbohydrate
Yam has 1.5% of protein and 28% carbohydrate

Ratio of protein-carb

Rice 1:10
Beans 1:2.55
Yam 1:18.66

Eating rice or yam only as a staple without a source of protein will lead to malnutrition.

But the protein in beans is enough to keep away malnutrition.

Carbohydrate is not hard to find but protein is. So beans which is a high protein content food is very essential and is among the high protein food encouraged by nutritionist. Beans is regarded proteineous not because it doesn't have carbohydrate but because it has high protein compared to other staple food we consume.

Every time I suspect there was more to their friendship, he always assured me there was nothing, that she's just a friend. sometimes he would even travel with her to Abuja to sell his goods which I had to allow since it was helping his business.

8 months into my pregnancy I noticed a drastic change like coming home very late, he hardly eats at home, he barely talks to memos he's always on his phone. I knew something was wrong and every time I talk to him, he always assured me that everything was fine.

After the delivery and naming of my baby I expected things to go back to the way it was, but it became worse. he changes his phone password almost everyday and still hides his phones from me.

One day I cried and begged him to tell me what was going on, after hours of begging, the first question he asked me was "where was it written in the bible that marriage has to be between one man and one woman and not with different women", "why can't a man marry two or more wives if he has the resources to take care of them equally"(the lady is a muslim btw).

He confessed that he has been dating this lady for over two years and has no plan of leaving her, and theres a possibility he's going to marry her. I'm just 26yo with a one month old baby, I didn't sign up for this.

While growing up, my mum has always warned us against polygamy. although he's promised to be there for me and still wants our marriage to continue, but the thought of my husband being with someone else is killing me. I've tried to reason with him several times but I end up hurting even more. I've been praying but still no change. He's been trying to compensate with gifts and money but thats not what I want. he doesn't want me to tell anyone and I feel reporting him to his family will even worsen the case. We've always settled our issues ourselves without involving anyone. I've tried everything I can just to take my mind off it. I need someone to talk to, prolly a friend or a counsellor. I've been crying for days now, I've not been eating well and I have to breastfeed my child. I never knew my life would be this complicated. I don't know why he got married to me if he already had this in mind. I hate my life right now.
While reading your post, only one thing came to my mind, cooperate with him.

Most women would protest and fight, fighting has different strategies. Make him feel guilty by being the best and most understanding wife. Your husband is not a bad man, am sure he feels some guilt and is lost. Do not demonize him, that would push him further away.

I know it hurts, you just have to be strong. Since you didn't mention divorce, keep it that way. There is a big chance he will comeback to you regretting what he did.

Lastly, since you recently gave birth, am sure its a while you both had sex. You will need to come out if the celibate period soon. It might be one of the reasons things became worst between you. Demand for sex as often as you can, that will make him tired and reduce the frequency of visit to the other woman. Talk less of her and do your best as a wife, thats your last chance in saving what is left of your marriage.
Car Talk › Re: My Fuel Tank Vomits Fuel While Filling by adanny01(m):
jodeci:
Since I replaced my fuel pump,filling fuel into the tank has become a herculean task as the tank keeps throwing up the fuel at intervals.Oftentimes I pity the fuel station attendant especially when buying full tank.

What could be the possible cause.
Even though you solved the problem, i am still a little confused.

Isn't the dispenser nozzle designed to stop dispensing once there is a backflow?

I want to believe as well as your car had a fault, that particular dispenser had a fault too.

Secondly, the delivery rate of the dispenser might be too high. It usually causes overflow.

3rdly, i still cannot connect an evap system blockage to the fuel filling process.

Basically no dispenser is supposed to over flow, it is supposed to detect increased pressure when the tank is full or when there is a back flow then cut off. If it doesn't, its a problem with the dispenser not the car.

If you bought fuel from another station, you would then think you fixed it but the problem was never your car.

If there is a problem with your car, the problem should be premature cut off.

Let me agree that both El zakyzaky and the FG are trying to be smart.

El zaky is probably looking for an avenue to escape hence the asking for his passport and freedom and I don't blame the fg for refusing him.

But on the other hand, this is life and we all know that people most times prefer doctors they are used to. If the FG is really sincere about this treatment, it can be done even with his own doctors.

El zaky is scared that once on the operation table unconscious he may never come back to life and nobody can blame the FG. A smooth assasination grin
I believe you will agree that Elzakzaky is technically still in detention. To request for Indian police to be withdrawn from you and your passport handed over to you while in detention says there is an ulterior motive.

“In line with the Court Order, El-Zakzaky was approved to embark on the trip with State officials and his choice to be accompanied by his aides and personal Doctors was not opposed by the government.
By the bolded statement his personal Nigerian Drs are among the team that traveled with him to India.

However, according to medical practice, only the hospital management has the right to approve medical team to treat a patient. The hospital management must have sufficient reason to admit an external Dr to the team. Dont forget that his personal Drs are there as observes to approve every procedure. They may even be admited to the operating room but are not to participate until the Hospital management approves.

So, if the Drs in the hospital are the best, why would the hospital admit into the team a less experienced Dr? If the requested Dr is more experienced, why didn't El Zakzaky request for that Drs hospital? Am sure the hospital management will happily refer him to any other hospital if he feels that hospital is not capable. This must be done with approval of the Nigerian authorities.

So you swallow this story from the FG? Can you be that gullible?
Did you also swallowed the story from El zakzaky?

There is always 2 sides to a story.

The question is, did he ask for his PP or other Drs or refuse treatment from the hospital he chose or request to stay in a 5 star hotel?

Do not forget, he is still technically in detention.

So somebody cannot ask for his own doctors again?

This is India, almost all the people that did transplant in that country have not survived it.

The guy will probably be unconscious for a long period during the operation and anything can be removed, replaced or damaged inside his body which will be like a time bomb.

The gug don enter one chance!
You really do need to understand the under table hand El Zakzaky is dealing.

When you chose a hospital, you dont chose their specialist. You dont request for external Drs to join the team, the hospital management is responsible for every Dr or nurse involved not the patient.

What i see is that he wants freedom and access to his Nigerian deputies so he can have secret communication on how they will forge further in their destructive attitude.

Don't forget his own Drs travelled with him but this doesn't mean they must partake in actual treatment. They will only vet or obrserve his treatment.

Man, like Alfa Nu.rey grin grin Keep today holy!



Please don't do that - you don't borrow to finance an expense unless of course you can find a way to monetize it. A car will drain you financially. It's a potential liability in your life's balance sheet, unless of course it makes you money (from car hire or taxi services).




Always had access to a car right from my secondary school days (I'm a terrible driver though), bought my first car from my personal savings. In retrospect, I shouldn't have invested in an item with a high depreciation rate as a car, should have put that money in a friend's business. Almost a decade later, regrets here and there but no permanent damage.
I disagree.

A car is different things to different people. If you look at a car as a liability, a wife is also a liability, a child is a liability, our old parents are liabilities, even our friends and extended families are liabilities. Hell, even a girlfriend is a liability. Yet, we keep having them even when we cannot afford them in some cases. What is the essence of life if one cannot make himself comfortable? Why should anyone refuse to buy a car saying its a liability.

Would you rather buy a car (liability) or be constantly late to work risking your job commuting in a bus or taxi. Would you rather buy N500 fuel to go to and fro the next street 3 times or pay taxi N300 each way (N1800).

A car is an unnecessary liability only when it is unreliable. A car becomes an unnecessary liability when you have another you can use or another means of travel that is time saving, cost saving and fits exactly in your schedule.

A car is always a liability, a necessary or unnecessary liability.

If you work night shift and close by 12midnight when your safety in public transportation is not guaranteed, would you refuse buying a car for your safety because a car is a liability?

In your own case, you always had access to a car right from sec sch, op doesn't. Buying your own car is an unnecessary liability but for his case, it can be a necessary liability.
