Nixxxx:If you know what I know about sound systems unless it is a top of the range luxury vehicle, buy a good car and then buy an excellent hifi sound system to replace the stock audio system, after researching options within your budget, even the stock speakers will need to go, not just the head unit and the amplifier Start your research here : Sample Manufacturer https://www.sony.com/electronics/car-audio-hi-res-audio and here Audiophile resource https://www.crutchfield.com/S-2prUYaRE8u8/learn/budget-friendly-car-audio-set-up.html You are not alone(another nairalander) https://www.nairaland.com/3979868/creating-perfect-car-audio-sound This is coming from a music aficionado who spared no expense to enjoy the ultimate high fidelity sound 2 Likes |

tukopy:Port Harcourt Ikot Abasi Uyo Calabar It is longer but smoother It says thirteen hours but maintain sensible speeds for the first 100 to 150 km on Shagamu, max out the speedo for the remainder that is good, do the same for the rest of the trip to PH and you will reduce it by 1 to up to 3 hours Impossible with the Onitsha route 1 Like

tukopy:I have updated my initial post You will meet traffic in Lagos where the road corridor has been reduced due to construction activity around redeemed You may meet traffic before and after River Niger bridge You may meet traffic inside Owerri You will travel at city speeds from Owerri to Ikot Ekpene Ikot Ekpene-Itu-Udukpani road connecting Uyo and Calabar is not in good shape (When I was last in Calabar sometime in December 2017, a lot of work had been done to fix the road leading into the city from Ugep...although there were still bad spots, I will get an update on this for you) Ikwuano-Ikot-Ekpene, connecting Abia and Akwa Ibom states is in a deplorable condition Good roads end in Owerri if you go the Onitsha route...after that I doubt you will find spots you can maintain 80km/h for 5 to 10 straight minutes You would spend 5 hours to do 400 kilometers (somewhere in Owerri) and 5 hours to do another 200 kilometers ( from Owerri to Calabar), that should give you an idea of the road's conditions If you want good roads all the way, then you will have to do the PH route, if you have the nerve for over 90% of the trip, you can comfortably do 200 km/h up to Port Harcourt When last I wanted to go to Uyo from Lagos, Google said the same thing, I was supposed to arrive Uyo at 4.30pm having taken off from Lagos at 5.30am, guess what happened, after almost 4 hours lost in traffic before the River Niger bridge and in Owerri, I arrived at 7.30pm Now if I had taken the PH route, the distance would have increased by 100km and I would have arrived in 10 hours instead of 9 hours 30 minutes using the shorter route, but I would have 99% certainty there would not be lockjam such as could be experienced at the bridge and around Owerri Same thing applies to the Calabar route...all is well until you meet a lockjam at the bridge...then you will wish you had totally avoided Onitsha and Asaba I already vowed not to take that route again unless I cannot help it. In the end, it is too close to call, it all boils down to personal preference However taking the Port Harcourt route, from Uyo to Lagos, I once left Uyo at 7am and was inside Lagos close to Third Mainland Bridge by 3.55PM which is impossible with the Onitsha/Owerri route 5 Likes

tukopy:Flight back is about 25,000.00 Trip takes about 13 hours on a good day Fuel will cost between 15,000.00 and 20,000.00 for a v6 How much is your time worth? How about 50,000.00 after deducting all expenses? I have successfully used Google Maps for that trip. Woe betide you though if you get to Onitsha and there is traffic before the bridge, I recently lost 3 hours there and 1 hour within Owerri.... So it may seem longer but you may be better off heading towards PH then linking calabar, you will never see such a lockjams. If going through. PH...don't drive through its highway anything past 6pm those roads are notorious for underworld activities after nightfall, I am speaking from personal and shared experience instead continue your trip the following morning 3 Likes |

There is more to vehicle diagnosis than the use of a scan tool This is why raduautoworks often says bring it into the shop! A scan tool is not the final definitive answer to the problems of a vehicle...it should be considered the starting point in diagnostics and no more! In the words of Barry Bartlett who has 40 years of experience working on cars and who is an ASE Master technician with L1 advanced level diagnostics, the highest level of certification available: the PCM can sometimes give false information to the scan tool, and therefore is not a foolproof way of diagnosing a vehicle. It cannot be solely relied upon for diagnosis. The scan tool will only point us in a direction to explore and we must investigate thoroughly to find the problem.It is the ability to thoroughly investigate and find the problem that separates the men from the boys in this game. This truism will be demonstrated with two examples 1 Like

Jakumo:This is somehow who actually does do high speed driving talking. That is my comrade in speed talking. In addition for Nigerian roads, the driver must look up the road for any and all obstacles and down the road for all sorts of speed traps. He should also have very good rest the night before...especially if the trip is cross-country He should also realize that he needs to be in a high state of situational awareness and have prepared responses to incidents like tire ruptures and should be able to determine with exactitude which tire has ruptured and handle the situation with finesse until he can stop the vehicle safely He must be better at braking than accelerating....he who can safely stop a vehicle no matter the situation will arrive alive, he who lives for the thrill of acceleration but knows zilch about safely braking a vehcle no matter what will sooner or later have no vehicle to drive again, if he does not lose his life into the bargain 3 Likes |

Hairyrapunzel:The distinction between eating and injecting is a moot point. True the technology of injecting blood was nonexistent when the Bible was written. But if you carefully study these bible commentaries, you will appreciate that the fine distinction between eating and injecting does not align with God's intended use of blood. see the following non Witness Bible commentaries https://biblehub.com/commentaries/genesis/9-4.htm They basically align with the position of the witnesses that blood is life in the sight of God and the use of blood must be as directed by its maker and Giver and not as suggested by creatures. That eating human flesh did not make sense is clear from the reaction of the crowd to his comments about eating his flesh and drinking his blood....although if you study the greek words he used, he didn't mean it literally,but even the thought was so unnerving, he lost disciples. Assuming but not conceding that the passage is limited to animal food, the issue is not about animal or human as food or nutrients, but about blood as nutrients or as medicine. Since the religious group believes everything they do should honor God, they cannot fathom doing something that appears minimize God's right to lead man while also claiming to be worshipping the same God, and that sort of explains their position on taking blood via any channel. You even have to lie on early Christians not using WHOLE BLOOD even for medical reasons.Please do me the favor of highlighting in bold or via quotes the lie or lies in my previous post so I can do justice to the accusation. Thank you. Until then the above statement will be treated as an unsubstantiated accusation. Is this how you guys cook up stories just to make your doctrines look like it was mentioned in the bible?Please do me the favor of pointing to any story or stories I cooked up in the above post. Thank you. Is this yet another figment of your vivid imagination at work or are you actually referring to what I said? I know jws first banned all forms of blood in 1945. They even banned vaccination and organ transplant around the same time.Please provide references. And take the time to study https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/28/why-do-jehovahs-witnesses-abstain-blood, it would clarify a few issues for you. Do you as an ardent student of the Bible remember that Jesus once said I have many things to tell you but you are not able to bear them at the moment? Or you also recall that Jesus once instructed not to go with money pouches and provisions, but later on changed his stance? Do you realize or have you forgotten how initially there was confusion whether circumcision was a requirement to be a true Christian and how subsequently that position was clarified? The common thread? Time changes things, the principles remain the same, but the understanding and or application can change. Did the Bible not talk of the light getting brighter over time? Do you know that currently your leaders don't ban all components of blood? That it is just whole blood they ban?You are being mischievous and you know it. What did the Bible speak of? Blood or blood fractions? What do the witnesses refuse to take whole blood and main blood components. What is the stand of the witnesses on blood fractions and derivatives? Take? Don't Take? Or let your conscience lead you? You know the position is decide for yourself after weighing the facts and listening to the leadings of the inbuilt compass for determining right and wrong your conscience. Why is this additional clarification necessary? You admit those derivatives did not exist when the Bible was written, in the same way as gentile christians did not exist when God required circumcision from his people. Changing circumstances requires applying the scripture to new developments such as has been highlighted here. It took a while for the oversight body to apply christian principles to chamging times. All in all what you despise is what God has always valued and protection, where there is no express prohibition, individual choice reigns supreme. There is NO list of fractions to be accepted....there is a list of fractions that you may apply your understanding of the scriptures and the proddings of your conscience to determine if you can accept or not in the absence of an express injunction against the use of blood components. The BMJ link addresses the issue of blood donations adequately. The US army last time I checked has not stopped doing blood transfusion. You are making a false impression about a situation. They adopted something doesn't mean they abandoned blood transfusion. Read things with sense.It seems my point was lost in translation. I never ever said that the US Army stopped using blood transfusion. I said and the article made it clear that there are distinct advantages of bloodless surgery/medicine that were so outstanding that the US Army committed almost 5 million dollars to pursuing it further. If bloodless surgery and medicine was as worthless of you make it seem, would they do that especially in the presence of according to you a more viable alternative....the holy grail of blood transfusion? Maybe it is you who had problems distilling this subtle point from the article because of ingrained bias. Thank Goodness you used you express they adopted....so you got my point afterall. Now do me and your followers the favor of pointing to where I said or insinuated or even suggested talk less of hinting that they had abandoned blood transfusion for my education and further enlightenment. Thank you in anticipation. Do you know when your so called bloodless surgery and medicine fails the last resort is blood transfusion?Unless my memory has failed, for those who believe in bloodless medicine transfusion is not an option.....so the question of its being a last resort does not even arise. Still johns Hopkins has never abandoned blood transfusion.I never ever said that John Hopkins stopped using blood transfusion, if I did, would you be kind enough to point to it? Thanks. There is almost no medical procedure without both....and that includes blood transfusions which is why the US Army even gave attention to bloodless surgery in the first place since it appeared that the post surgery complications of bloodless were fewer than blood. Meanwhile FDA banned polyheme and hemopure (from cow blood) that jws were championing because of deaths it caused. Think of the number of jws used as lab rats that died before the ban.Even malaria medicines have been withdrawn or suggested as being inappropriate over time by the WHO, these things happen. Question is are there alternatives....if yes then substitute. Every drug or medical procedure has a propensity for producing adverse effects. Don't come here to lie about things that your leaders are illiterate about.This is so true of blood transfusions as well. https://academic.oup.com/bjaed/article/14/3/112/341048 As time permits, I will address your other mentions of me.... |

1Sharon:Clearly both are medically disimilar. The similarity is that both are forms of ingestion that is to say breaking the barrier of the body. But beyond the similarity or disimilarity, what seems to be in issue here is whether it is ingested orally or intravenously, the religious group is worried by doing one or the other or both, they would be disrespecting God, and so they opt to avoid either method of ingestion out of an abundance of respect for what blood represents to the maker of blood and the giver of life and irrespective of any medical advantages of the medical procedure. It seems to me that this is the real issue at hand which even courts have agreed to respect if the person involved is up to the age of reason and where he or she is not, shows that he knows his or her choice and its consequences and is willing to live with the same. Everyone else or nearly everyone else takes blood yea. They will not take blood through any means to show respect and reverence to God by choice the same way as others reject a couple of things out of respect for God or culture or whatever while acknowledging the rights of others with a different background to do otherwise and not forcing it or those on them. It seems as has been pointed out by one other person, the right to choose and their right to choice which includes medical treatment and procedures should be respected even if not appreciated or understood or even if it is a right we do not agree with. It is in the end a question of faith....forcing them to take blood against their wishes makes us no better than those who sided with the Inquisitions of centuries long gone and is synonymous with religious intolerance |

Seun:https://www.jw.org/en/medical-library/ lots of peer reviewed literature in support of their position Genesis 9:4. God allowed Noah and his family to add animal flesh to their diet after the Flood but commanded them not to eat the blood. God told Noah: “Only flesh with its soul—its blood—you must not eat.” This command applies to all mankind from that time on because all are descendants of Noah. Leviticus 17:14. “You must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.” God viewed the soul, or life, as being in the blood and belonging to him. Although this law was given only to the nation of Israel, it shows how seriously God viewed the law against eating blood. Acts 15:20. “Abstain . . . from blood.” God gave Christians the same command that he had given to Noah. History shows that early Christians refused to consume whole blood or even to use it for medical reason Even the US Army decided to pay attention to it for a number of reasons http://m.digitaljournal.com/article/287219 Arguably the best hospital in the world has a bloodless medicine center https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/bloodless_medicine_surgery/index.html 6 Likes |

I said get an expert to do it. The reason for asking you to take off the valve cover is due to an abundance of caution to determine if the engine is sludged. As a professional, I owe you a duty of care to give you reasonable and considered advice and to avoid liability from any actions you take based on my advice. What I switched I didn't take off my valve cover but I want you to do so to determine the state of your engine so I can confidently tell you a switch will be without problems.
