Thanks. My centre is open is it a problem?

An open centre reduces signal drastically

Sir u misread the post.. I was asking the young man the break down of his oil usage. I never advice him to switch. He has been using 20w50 for his matrix for a long time. So there is no point switching to factory recommendation .. If he decide to switch it might cause leakage........

And sir I didn't want you to waste money either. Your 1999 camry has been using 20w50 for long time. So just stick to it, and change ur oil about every 4k miles to avoid sludge. I know can it can tedious ...

Once you are able to get a proper maintain or tokunbo car. We give u free engine oil sir ... If u have anymore questions please free to ask

I understand Boss

dru23:
So basically let us say you change oil every 3months. Meaning you change oil 4times a year....Let us break down your spending for the year......

Mobil xhp 8500k = 34k for the year
Oil change labour 2k = 8k for the year
Oil filter 2k naira. = 8k for the year

So your total spending on oil changes for the is 50k naira.... This is rough estimates, it should be more ..
My point here is that you can save yourself money and time ......

Now the reason why your engine looks clean is that you don't drive that much . I really doubt 20w50 is the recommended oil for your car . now for you to really damage your engine with 20w50 . You have to drive the car long enough ..

All those short trips here and there will not really damage anything regardless how frequent you change ur oil .... I don't want to go into any further details to avoid unnecessary back and fourth .........

I don't understand you dru. I asked you if I could change my oil from 20w50 that I've been using to 5w30 recommended for my Camry 1999 with over 200k miles but you said I should maintain status and now you are advising this guy to switch from 20w50 to mobil 1

Good day, please where can one get a good fairly used battery in Abuja

There's one guy that supply on JiJi American used. Very good ones.

seanfer:
You’re right. Abuja is the federal capital and law enforcement officers are always careful because they don’t know who is who.
Come to PHC even with the car in your name the wicked police will still want to extort you, and I’m sure that’s the case in order states.
Imagine the OP finding himself on a highway with those police without uniform and name tag and telling them that no law says he can’t drive a car not in his name. They now ask him to call the seller to confirm and the seller is not reachable. Just imagine what will happen. To be on the safer side he should change it to his name.

Well said. The only thing VIO/FRSC ask in Abuja mostly are Vehicle Papers and Drivers Licence. Police in Abuja seems to be very gentle as them no no who be who.

Getthebestlogo:
Please how do usually explain to the police officers or FRSC when stopped if they see that the papers is not in your name ?

Is simple. There's no law that state that the apart from the owner of a car no other person should drive the car. I don't know about other states but Abuja VIO are the once that advised me that I should not bother about change of name if I don't have the money to do that.

This is my 3rd Nigeria used car, apart from the first I have not done any change of ownership. The car you're driving must not bear your name. The must important is the vehicle papers are up to date and a valid Driver's licence

Yes Boss

I have money in 3 of the accounts, but I haven't been able to get the 1k reward

Do you have on Safelock?

Spy360:
Thanks chief. But please what's FEC and I use csat so where can I set it. Thanks.

Please use another decoder to search for that satellite preferably Strong Decoder, or use a Satfinder. Csat no good for tracking.

do4luv14:

free TV decoder with 40station and 1500 a year

Buy the one that come with dish for better experience.

Report Card

I have been trying to track Ses 5 c band since weekend. So far it has been elusive.

In order to achieve this I had to take a patient step by step approach from known to unknown. So I connected a Ku lnb and tracked 28.5e which I got easily. Then I tracked 51.5e which I also got easily.

Now sure that the dish, lnb and cables are ok, I proceeded to track 5e but didn't get signals. Instead I got 7e. Despite all efforts through tiny adjustments, 5e remained elusive.

Why is this so?

My next step was to use the 7e direction and connect my c band lnb. Yet it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Cc GeorgeD1, Bencote, adubam, Odilibe, Blexxonmak, Olenyi

I am calling on all my fta gurus.

Boss this your 5e matter don't tie wrapper ooo. You see that photo of 5e posted above just set the LNB at the same position. Sometimes you don't need to set the FEC to auto. Get the right FEC and you're good to go.

disloman:
You are wrong.Toyota has an assembling factory in SA which they assembled cars for exports.Not all cars from SA are right handed cars.

Noted.

Nexttpage:
Truly.
But don’t know if you have come across South African made Corolla, this is a 2009 Corolla as the person told me but I noticed it’s prices are always cheaper than the USA made one.
So just asking if SA cars are good.

South African cars are right handed. So if you any left handed car from South Africa then know it's been converted.

Lately I have been scouting for a 2 bedroom apartment in Ibadan for residential use.
See what a greedy Real Estate Agent charged me for a 2 bedroom apartment in Oluyole estate, here in Ibadan:

Rent - N700,000
Agency fee @ 20% = N140,000
Legal fee @ 10% = N70,000
Caution deposit =N70,000

Just imagine being asked to pay N980,000 due to sheer greed of this Estate agents in collusion with greedy landlords☹️

Unfortunately, this is the norm out here as other agents I spoke to were not any different.

Kindly share your experience with Ibadan Real Estate agents or even their greedy colleagues in other states and how you handled them.

They are learning where Lagos and Abuja dey.

We just paid
Close to 4m for 2 bedroom a year at Wuse 2 Abuja.

700k Service Charge
450 agent.
Agent put 4 different versions of Holy Bible on table with God bless you and it's well

Spy360:
Yes majorly. Then foreign news and possibility of live football.

I have compared 68.5e, 60e and 5e. All have local content and foreign news but 5e wins for me because of AFN sports.

Then go ahead

Any mechanic who can work on my ABS and check light on my Camry 1999 in Abuja.

ebukaka12:
Please is piggyvest Flex naira cashless policy, I mean can one withdraw all the money inside the flex naira??

And they don't wanna redeem my N1,000 bonus, any idea, I tried calling the customer care but no response

Image below

Of course you can withdraw from flex all your money.

To get that 10k you must have money in at least 3 of the accounts.

Spy360:
Thanks for the suggestions. But isn't AFN available in 5e? I will start tracking tomorrow. I am going on leave.

You said your interest in local news.

Spy360:
What's your suggestion please

Use Antenna for AIT. Use the 1.8m Dish to get 68e cband and get BBC, CNN, Aljazeera, Sky News, and lots more for foreign news using Powervu or any auto roll powervu decoders e.g CSat. On the same dish you can add 16e, 26/28e,42e for TVC and 51e

Bencote:
you can use this frq. 03819 v 27500

To me I feel he would be wasting the potential of this dish because of AIT that Aluminum antenna can deliver or instead buy a free TV decoder that has 40 stations for #1500 sub a year.

EMEKUSBOY9:
My how u dey na?

I dey fine boss.

Emekus! Longest time.

Bencote:
I have it on south south here, precisely Akwa Ibom state, so you follow it gently, you will get it.

Pictures of the dish will help him better

Elsueno:
We once use a Highlander key on a baby boy, it started d car, even drove it....but it was hard to remove the key

Make him dey argue

Spy360:
No. I am actually after the local channels on Cband. AIT, TVC, WAP etc.

HA. You can't get that signal with 1.8m in the east. That was how someone was trying to get Televista with 2.5m but could not. Sometimes you will see www.lngsat.com displaying lower dish for a particular signal but it's not always accurate.

RZArecta:
It just has to be a Toyota that's why I prefer odd vehicles in this country

That's true bro. When I was using Volkswagen I had rest, since I port to Toyota my blood pressure they high when I park outside my compound.

Spy360:
The dish is facing the sky at SE direction. I tried to track first with cband lnb but did not hit green then I changed to Ku band yet did not hit green.

What am I doing wrong please? The only thing I suspect now are my cables.

Have you seen someone in your environment using 1.8m for that location in your area or is it the Startimes 5e your are attempting.

Spy360:
I have been trying to hit 5e on cband with 1.8m for those local stations but to no avail. Please isn't 5e be facing southeast?

You are doing something wrong.

Princedevoe:
I just bought a new dstv 90cm dish n decoder. I bought it to track fta specifically. I need a recommendation of a reliable decoder that can get CNN, CBS reality, BBC, aljazeera, mbc and local channels like channels TV. Can l also use the lnb that comes with the dish or l need to change it to fta compliant? Thanks guys. I need suggestions from the house.

Sell it and buy at least 1.8m dish.
