I just ignored him. If you watched the video you see he is a liar. The employees are kitted well in safety gears.
Show me the SAFETY GEARS. You guys should stop giving us bad names with your inferiority comparison. Anyi na-anwa, mana ezi eteka. The biggest lube plant in Nigeria is owned by 11plc,. It is fully automated with in-line blending and intelligent pigging techniques. Jezco might not see the 20th position...even Tonimas in Aba is the biggest Lube Plant in the SE and SS.

Ammasco is the biggest lube plant in the North...

RomanceRe: My Fiancee's Anger Issues by ascendo(m): 7:58pm On Jul 24, 2021
mario22:
My fianceé anger issue is worrisome to me. ones she has a bad day, I will get my own share at home. I have begged her all i need in this marriage is togetherness, peace (she jokingly calling me Mr. peace of mind).

She just graduated and we are staying together for 2months now. She can be very sweet and hardworking, caring, can clean, arrange the house. I don't expect her to be this all good cos NOBODY is perfect, but her anger issue a big turn off.

When her Project supervisor was purposely frustrating her, and told her he will not accept her work and she will not defend (it was sorted out later) . I tried to talk and advise her she angrily walked out of my car in the middle of the road.

That night she wasn't talking to me and i started a call n went to the parlor, she came and was asking whom i was talking to and i said my guy, she queried but why did i go to the parlor, she flung our engagement ring away without knowing whom i was talking to (not cheating or calling any girl) she makes rash decisions when angry. like She can scatter our 2weeks plans cos of a small provocation.

I Love her but the anger issues is killing.
If she has accepted that she has anger issues, you both should work on it together. It's her weakness, lend help by helping her work on it. Therapist might work, but draw her to God.

Let your engagement be on hold till you see long standing improvement.

If you drop her cuz of this, where is the love?
Christianity EtcRe: T.B Joshua: Pastor Adeboye's Condolence Letter To Evelyn Joshua by ascendo(m): 1:21pm On Jul 18, 2021
Righteousness2:
Condolences to the Family of the dead is a normal thing.

Whether Papa Adeboye says this or Not is does not Matter.

Whatever anyone says does not Matter!
We as Humans, can only Deceive ourselves! We cannot Deceive GOD ALMIGHTY.

What Matters is not What Humans know about us.
What Matters is What GOD Knows about us..

But let me say this,
Those who are Spiritual both Good and bad may know this. I don't care what anyone says, This is What I Know,
There were Deep Spiritual Encounters and Battles in the Spiritual realm , which resulted in the death of the Prophet. He was taken away in the Spiritual realm about 48- 60 hrs before he was declared dead in the Physical. Except he repented before he Physically died, then it is unfortunate.
Leave judgment for God

Thanks for the response ascendo.
Location: Adron estate, west park and gardens, Ashipa-Oleyo, Ibadan.
I dont really know about the soil topography but there are many buildings there, including duplexes.
Then a practicing Engineer there has the best answer. It shouldn't be in assumption's, let the facts be clearly spelt out. But I most times prefer chaining the lintels onto the pillars at the four corners of buildings for stability
PropertiesRe: Can I Build A 5-bedroom House With Pillars But No Horizontal Beam ? by ascendo(m): 11:18pm On Apr 17, 2021
First of all, where is the location? The soil topography determines everything.

Some buildings must be chained at the foundation or lintel to avoid expansion cracks

FamilyRe: My Lazy Girlfriend Lacks Ambition And She's Pregnant For Me!!! by ascendo(m): 5:02pm On Mar 14, 2021
You just taught me something. God bless you real good
ravensckar:
This issue is the easiest that I have come across. With a little bit of understanding, both of them will have a perfect marriage. Now, let's analyze the issue. She's educated, but you think she's unambitious. That's a lie! She just doesn't enjoy doing whatever job you're pushing her to for reasons best known to her. Bros, I'd advise you take her out for dinner one beautiful night and calmly ask her what type of job she'd like to go into. You'll be amazed. My wife is a degree holder, but prefers owning her own shop. I once forced her to work for a company, it almost killed her self-esteem. But now that she's in her preferred area, she's shining.


Secondly, on the issue of laziness. I think you just need to sit down with men and let them tell you first-hand what marriage entails. Almost all women find chores stressful. They enjoy roaming the house naked, watching television and enjoying themselves. Who wouldn't? I'll advise you play a trick on her. Whenever you return from work, tell her the usual line; 'work was stressful today, this and that happened bla bla bla'. Then, proceed to cleaning the house in her presence. Do it with a smile on your face. Trust me, her conscience will prick her. Some women are like that, words and threats won't work on them. Just appeal to their conscience. I believe your lady is a wonderful person since she isn't even pretending to be hardworking just to trick you into marrying her.


Thirdly, on the issue of pregnancy and the everyday drama that comes with it. Bros, I'll be very honest with you. The initial stage of marriage is filled with drama. Do you know why? Both of you ain't used to each other yet. You're beginning to observe the unpleasant sides of each other. Now, what's the solution to this? Take your minds off the negatives and focus on the positives. Think of the stuffs that your wife is good at and let it motivate you to want to make your marriage work. Compliment her for it, and tell her to her face that she's the best in that area. Then, watch her try to improve on her weak areas. It's a bit complex than how I've put it, I pray you find a way around it.

PS- It took my wife more than 4 years to understand that she has to tidy the house before going to shop. You can guess who was doing the cleaning for those 4 years. Lolz. Marriage hard o, but again, compared to what?

I have used total qartz 5000 on my 05 Honda pilot since 2012 till date ..the engine runs smoothly just as it was then.. and no sludge..the engine valve is extremely clean...it all depend on the type of oil you are using..I concur with u sir

I understand his analogy. The mix-up is that the 1.6 engines are more expensive due to low supply (NOT LOW DEMAND) than the 2.0 engines that are more easily available. Help me understand the oxidation part. Merry Christmas
Oxidation happens at high temperatures when the Lube especially at top cylinder changes composition as it absorbs oxygen.

Remember there is a vacuum line from the top cylinder to the air manifold axis

Bros, Bros, Bros, how many times did I call you bros? You want to compare Toyota Camry built in SA to the USA built cars etc bros you want fall my hand.....

Another example, Hyundai elantra 07 built in India that coscharis brings, are less inferior than the ones built in the USA...bros ,bros, don't make a mockery of yourself o......


Let's us be fair here, 60% of cars that are shipped to Nigeria come from the USA ,that 60% is me just been conservative.... That been said , the manufacturer of those cars have taken into consideration weather conditions, we have states that are hotter than Nigerian weather or have similar weather patterns, those things the manufacturer will consider before making a car ...


You can't never compare Toyota cars built in SA to USA ...let's us stop this back and fourth.. How many are buying Toyota cars built in SA ? How many do you see on the road..... Lol bro either way owners should follow car manual .......



Modify : Kindly go to ladipo compare Toyota parts from South Africa, Japan , and the USA. ......compare prices and tell me why the prices are different...... Lol
In all these, remember that cars from USA are American specs... it get why!

The orifices for oil passages are same design. Most engines SA use are from Japan which I know quite well. Most parts in Toyota USA are from DENSO...same Denso whose hqtrs is in Japan.

In all these, the flowability at low temperature is very important. The cars should be able to start even at minus 20 degrees.

There is an equipment we call COLD CRANKING SIMULATOR... Marine lubes we blend here in Naija must pass its test as well as pour point test for -35 degrees C.


My last statement on this thread: I appreciate what you do. We must hustle and all is gonna be fine. But if you do mini importation of lubes into the country, you can advertise your lubes without condemning our 20W50. Who knows, you might get to the extent that you have a technical partnership with the Lube manufacturers abroad, you might establish a Plant here. How will you feel if someone tells you that what you produce is rubbish when you have invested in raw material, equipment and staff to produce the best?

Think about it

But you use 20w50 for your 2016 camry now , when the manual states 0w20.. I stated that to you , your reply was u don't need to read any manual etc ......but you are willing to read manual for your 2020 Tucson Abi....

If you are willing to follow manufacturers advice on ur tucson ,why not do the same on ur camry ?

Oga, one thing I need to point to you ..not all cars are built the same ,not all engine are built the same.. Some cars are more sensitive than others etc .. Some engines last better than others and built even better... so you can't treat all cars the same etc .......

Example.....when Infinity fx45 came out , people were going crazy etc people loved the car etc .. After sometimes people were complaining that car breaks maintenance is high etc.. You can't abuse those cars like you do other cars like Toyota.... People can't maintain cars. Same with Acura cars ,you can't abuse them anyhow..

Honda civic transmission needs special ATF made ,anything else will damage the transmission ,it might not be immediately ,but overtime it will get damage.....

Bottom line, owners should always read car manual especially when it comes to engine and transmission, other parts of the car you might be able to comprise a bit .......


Just because 2021 car uses 20w50 ,does not mean all cars will use the samething....let's read to understand
Do you want the manual of the 2016 Camry too?

Toyota products from SA recommends 20W50 through out and SA service African markets.

In the USA it is not very common away for Mobil 1 or Castrol or any brand to produce.. Most car manufactures are adapting to thinner multi purpose grade oil like 0w20. 20w50 are mostly used for industrial machine, heavy duty machine that uses diesel
Industrial machines like?

Be it as it may, I'm not based in the USA where you mentioned.

Remember that Vecton 15W40 exists for diesel engines and its synthetic blend

But non of them have ILSAC GF-5 written on it.
ILSAC GF-5 are exclusively for full synthetic blends. 20W50 SM is not a synthetic blend.

Well, in more details ILSAC shows that it has Energy Conserving Requirements.

He also struggles with telling the truth. Remember the wristwatch saga,house in england and investment in a brewery he had interests in.
His influence drew Sab Miler to Nigeria...no argument about that and Next International has shares in Sabmiller which later became one of the International Breweries under ABinBev.

I had one encounter with him that I wont forget in a hurry. Towards the ending of his tenure, he attended the ofala festival of the Igwe of Isuofia... towards the venue of the event, there was a hold up: he came down and trekked in the midst of the crowd to the venue. I even passed him without knowing.

We that suffered in Anambra before the advent of Ngige and then Obi, that attended public schools can never forget.

Obi wasnt wasteful as a governor, though I dont think Umahi is since no one can confirm that all those 42 cars are his normal convoy. His commissioners might have joined along the transit, who knows...

Car engines are getting more advance now, and thinner multi graded oil will be common now..... Owners should read their owners manual at all times .... You didn't design these engines , let the manufacture of the cars do their jobs.. Plz Bros, I beg u o ......anything made in Nigeria I no get confidence in it ....let the matter down ,and stop posting 20w50 on my post....


Go and confuse or continuing to confuse your followers.. I beg bros......
You no get confidence with anything made in Naija? That's the basis of your post.

I get confidence in some items made in Naija. Naija's manufacturing sector is not useless.

You are the confusionist here.

I quite agree with the fact that the engine orifices for oil passage are getting smaller. How many centistoke is the viscosity range of 20W50? What's that of 0W20 or 5W30 or 5W40?

Remember that oil recommendations for some of these cars that are built in 2000s to 2007s are 5W30 SF.

If you mention Society of Automobile Engineering (SAE), dont rubbish American Petroleum Institute (API)
