Check the following:

1. The tail pipe - swipe with your finger, do u have a lot of black soot? If yes then:
2. Scan if your O2 Sensors are working or clogged up
3. The baba of them all: your ECT sensor (ECT: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor) .. if that ECT is busted, the engine will remain in open loop ...

Open loop happens when u start your car the first time in the morning and it should run for some couples of seconds or minutes till the engine reaches a pre-defined operating temperature .... It does this by bypassin the O2 sensor and flooding the engine with more fuel so as to reach operating temperature.. once it has reached that temperature, it goes into a closed loop & hands over the Long Term & Short Term Fuel Trim to the O2 sensors..

If the ECT is busted, it will continue to run in Open loop and flood the engine with more fuel than it needs .. that itself can damage the engine ...

Go and scan your car sir!

Wondering how i got to know this? Mechanics showed me shege with my toyota camry (even though, that camry platform na demon; talk about that later) and i had to dig and those are the results i came up with (Owners manual, Hynes Repair Manual) and has always worked for me.

Hey bro, just hold on a lil bit while u perfect your web design skills ... once u can handle web jobs and u get one or 2 that u executed successfully and you have enough savings to take care of your needs for like 2-3 months, that's when u can quit.

But quiting at this time, is like jumping out of an aeroplane on top of shark and crocs infested waters ... how will u survive?

Cos even the 55k u earn isn't enough, not to talk of not having any income ...

So pls, perfect your skill (and pls, learn some other smaller skills join: graphics design/motion design join, e get why) before u throw in the towel ....

Olympuse:
Hello guys, I created the topic to seek your opinion on something I intend doing.

I have been teaching for some years now and I feel I am not making progress, man don dey old and no achievement in sight. I have a skill I am learning by the side(web development).

I want to quit my teaching job and focus on perfecting this skill for next 3 months.

But when I think of the economy and responsibilities and expectations from home, I procastinate.

But now the teaching job is becoming tiring to me, what should I do brethren

Wow! Congrats bro! U go enjoy am ...

Funny thing, that same cable can power your yamaha piano keyboard but that black converter portion go hot .... and start tripping off ...

But works perfect fine for hours cos the router doesn't use much power!

Warning: Don't use it to charge the router UPS o or it will get damaged

I have bought it boss. Waiting for it to come. It's shipped from abroad. It's taking a lot of time

Well, for starters, i'll say, if your one month salary can't pay 50% of your house rent or 2 months can't cover your yearly rent, then you're simply foolish.

This principle of being able to pay 50% comfortably with your 1 month rent has always helped me ....

Its best to stay in a low brow, less expensive area that match your salary/income ....

Why would anyone earning 100k stay in a 650k per year apartment?

That is simply a free invitation for high blood pressure na cos everytime the agent or landlord calls to maybe ask some other stuffs, fear go dey catch u say maybe dem wan increase rent or want eject person cos of owed rents....

Dainy1:
This country is becoming something else. With the current high house rent increase and bills, we pray we survive it.

I was just thinking out loud. For someone earning 100k salary monthly, staying in 650k-800k house, what's your strategy towards your house rent payment?
Knowing that you still have more bills to cater for monthly.

How do you save? What percentage do you save in a month?

With the little Salary been paid, Salary earners, how do you plan towards your current house rent payment?

A colleague was joking telling us, he's considering relocating to the village to start farming and staying in a free family apartment........hmmmmm

I use it with my itel star - that popular 20, 000 (20k mah) power bank ... of course, it will work with any power bank that has usb.

Just ensure u don't use that cable to charge the routers power bank or else, that cable will get so hot and might burn out!

Always use the cable to power the router directly without the UPS/battery: I usually do that when the routers power bank has no charge left ....

Adex2442:
How many Mah battery power bank do u use with this cable? Does it work with 10k and 20k mah power bank boss?

Yeah, that's a great one!

Congrats bro!

Adex2442:
Tanks boss see the one I con buy o from JIJI. Working well. 5k

That's a great start ...

Why not try and maybe move to a place where u can earn more with what u know, instead of working with people who will pay u peanuts?

Talk to family members or friends who live in such area and seek for help to get jobs in such area ...

My relationship with sapa is not beneficial to me at all, I wannna end it nd be rich. I want a lifestyle of prosperity not hunger and uncertainty, I want to enjoy all the good things life offer before I leave the earth.
how can I get rich in a shit hole called Nigeria I don't wanna end up like the majority of old men in nigeria, I don't want a life of struggle and struggle and at the end kick the bucket without enjoying any bit of life.

Gentledizzle:

Bro, leave all those studies alone cos there's more to it .... lets just leave it ....

See, Bible says that the power of life and death is in the tongue .... anything the enemy brings in dream or vision, its our duty as christians with authority in Christ to nullify it ....

If i wan go buy dreams wey i don get or people tell me about me, i suppose don die 25 years ago ....

Switinthemiddle:
the thing is that we even studied about dreams in church last week.

No spoil your brother great day with your yeye dream joor ... that's how you people dis-stabilize somebody's life ....

Switinthemiddle:
Hey everyone today is my elder brother's introduction and its a cause for merriment in our family. We are currently on our way to his inlaw's house but i'm worried about a dream my mum had overnight which she disclosed to us this morning.
In the dream- she saw us all in our living room chilling then all of a sudden a pregnant dog just ran into the parlour and all the lights suddenly went off...all efforts to find the dog proved abortive as we couldn't see in the dark.
So if anyone has an idea or what this might mean please indicate... And no insults.

Wow! Congratulations oooo

Mustack:
finally bought the airtel 5g

Ohhhh ok ... then you'll be fine

Mustack:
i dont streem a lot.

1tb data? From where?

1tb isn't a lot of data o except u don't stream videos or download large files sha and i am not sure there's a 1 year plan sef and if e dey, it will be on the high side

Mustack:
Thank you for this.

Am planning to get 1tb data so I won't bother for data in 1 years.

I don't have that but what i know is, u pay for the speed u want and the speeds offered so far are:

20mbps - 20k
40mbps - 35k
60mbps - 50k
Ultra 200gb unlimited - has unlimited speed but is data capped at 200gb ... there are other plans with bigger data cap but when i tried the 200gb ultra, i finished it in 19 days with moderate usage...

Battery test: my observation is 6 to 10 hours

Mustack:
Soeed and Battery test most especially.

Good morning .... What info do u need pls?

Mustack:
Can you help me with basic info on this package. I need one for my pos business.

Na normal windows isssh jare ...

1. Ensure u have a working anti virus (avast free) ... scan the entire hdd with another laptop
2. Ensure u have anti malware (malwarebytes does a good job) ... scan the entire hdd with another laptop
3. Ensure your ram is properly seated in its slot and also, the contact are not dirty/clogged up with dust
4. Do not auto-update windows ... i repeat 1 billion times ... update does more harm than good .... it practically breaks your windows
5. As soon as u are bouyant, switch to Macbook Pro ... Apple OS is more reliable ... and u don't have to have the latest ... but the minimum year u should buy if u do graphics/editing is Mid 2012, 8gb ram, ensure the storage is SSD ... even if na 128gb u fit afford

Kalatium:
I woke up 2 days ago and noticed my laptop is showing me this. I haven't used it for a week so I am wondering what could have been wrong here.

Today is even the worst. Once it starts booting and it will shut down. It will keep booting and shutting down by itself.

Ohh, sorry about that...

Well, try and save up, but that router bro and escape from mtn data bondage

megamindmaster:
This is encouraging! Thanks bro

Update: tried it and it is showing the regular data plans when I put my mifi airtel number

Mtn? Na the name i fear most now o ... dem fit kee person with data billing and disappearance ... Its good to switch to airtel jare ....

And i think there's airtel plan for that your mifi o!

Best thing to do is to go to their website: https://airtel.com.ng and input that airtel no there, then click to buy bundle ... carefully look ... i've seen that plan there too ... afterall, we are not using the full power of the 5G sef so 20mbps go work wella with your mifi

megamindmaster:
Bro i need your help. MTN wan kill me!

For the sake of clarity, does the 20k 20mbps (or even the 200gb throttled one) work on this 4G pocket Mifi?

If yes, can I just do it on my current airtel sim card or is there a special way to do it?

I can't just buy the 5G router at the moment cos I've spend over 60k for data in my family just in a month+ on data...

I tire ... the max we've done is about 650gb and i was doing some heavy download - tuts, footages for editing, vfx, etc ... but on a normal day, just 250gb is what we normally clock and its super fair for 20k ....

omotola90:
haba...wetin person wan use 1tb do for one month...I love football...Wifey na so so film. I give airtel their flowers tbh...

I'm telling u .... na airtel dey save boiz now o or else, MTN for don use our eyes see shege barawo ... u buy 100gb and e can finish in 5 days ... u will start questioning the usage ... but this one? Unless u hit 1 or 1.5 tb, it won't have issue (someone told me)

omotola90:
Alright thank you...though, I don't have issues with electricity in my place though.
I will opt for this then. The unlimited plan is good one from Airtel tbh

I don't know o but I heard so ...

The one I have is the Airtel X25 5G Router and it comes with its own UPS ....

As a backup, I bought a usb to round port cable so able to use the router on normal power bank whenever the ups is out of power

omotola90:
I would love to get the Nokia airtel 5g router, is it true you can't use it without electricity...though I have no problem with that

Ha? That's too complicated for me jare ... but thanks for the response...

Save money and stick to that for now ...

FarEl18:
Okay Thanks. I

Actually, it comes in 2 units (at least mine, I can see some people posting a newer one that is just one unit). One is the receiver and the other is the router. You are supposed to place the receiver close to a window and it is what holds the Airtel sim. Then you connect the receiver to the router via LAN/Ethernet which broadcasts the WiFi signal.

Fyi, I sometimes connect from the receiver directly to my laptop using LAN.

Hey bro, howdy?

Sorry about the demise of your dad and also your school issues et al… life happens and we just have to find a way to deal with it … life has to go on …

You’re super duper lucky someone is willing to part with 1 milla for u … well, that’s the breakthrough u need as regards seed fund to jump start your journey into career/business…. Wish I was this lucky like u …

If possible, influence your NYSC posting to somewhere u can grow fast, like lagos … you’ll learn a lot fast and grow, rather than spending your 1 year in a remote village where u might not even smell electricity/internet for a while …

Web Development is a good stuff to go for and u can get up to speed with the basics in some months if you’re willing to really give it time.

Cinematography / Video editing/ motion graphics / 3d are also good fields you can dabble into and do well while making good money.

But u should understand that there’s a learning stage and then, earning stage?

To get u started, u will need a laptop and trust me, I am not part to those Gen Zees that will tell u that u must buy 4 million laptop before u can start video editing or web dev, all na lie dem dey lie.

U can get started with a laptop of about 200k (I don’t mean those pepper-yoyo touch screen laptops o, don’t buy them) .. something like core i5 or i7, 8gb /12gb/16gb ram, Storage should be SSD, 15.6 inches is ok and a battery life of say 3 hours is fine … it can be windows or Mac but I’ll recommend u getting a Mac for a start: a 13 inch 2012 MacBook Pro (specs above apply) will suffice cos of the price, battery life and upgradeability …

Once u have that, next stage is to decide if you’re the type that can learn on his own with video tuts or u need to enrol in a school to learn these stuffs.

I’ll recommend a hybrid approach: Learn via courses but try to apply as an intern (without pay) at a company that does what u wish to learn … like a media or web development company/agency where what u want to end up doing is what they are doing …

I learnt a lot on my own using self taught videos sha and later, started mingling with guys who are top guns in the fields i want ...

Combining what you’re learning at home and what you’re learning on the job will fast track your growth … your internship might not be more than 3 months … during which that balance u have from your seed fund can be used to survive (spend wisely: no carrying of ladies Ugandan or u go know how far)… They may even end up employing you cos you will have mastered how to do quite a lot from them while running around as their “mumu errand boy” and doing assignments given to u … And if they don’t employ u, u will have gotten a lot of links via working with them

By the way, Nigeria of today, u can't sit down with just 1 thing ... u gas learn 2 or more things to be able to make enough to sustain your existence ...

My advice is to: Start small, scale up and keep growing … if u need further clarification or help, drop your whatsapp line and I’ll reach out to u.

please advise me!!!

I lost my dad second year in university while schooling in a private uni in Benin republic..cuz of lack of funds I was only coming to write exams thru the help of my peers..at the end of duration of the course in order to go for nysc in 2017.my bill was almost a million naira with miscellaneous it gonna pass that mark...now 2024 ....I got this bro in the UK who said he had only a million to spend and I should not bother him about anything after that...he was asking if I wanted to go and pay the debt and go for nysc or do something else like business
Firstly am not sure of a good career job after the end of the NYSC.
Secondly I don't know a thing bout computer science again but I know am gonna catch up if I could find the money to go for any of the web development courses
Thirdly I got passion for art even though I don't have talent for singing..I love sounds,movies and the special effects they use in making them but I don't really have much time to waste in much passion..I need something that I could do and earn and be independent
Have researched and was fixed on video editing and cinematography before...but have discovered even more with 3d animation,3d modelling,motion graphics,etc...I love them all

but I really need help on the one I could learn that will get me on my feet quickly...and the cost of training and tools needed that won't pass the said amount...I don't wanna blow this opportunity

Noooo, stick with the nokia o cos even the highest speed i got when using the unlimited ultra (200gb data limit but speed is uncapped), was 160mbps which is still within the realm of 4G ....

Hope u get me?

Until they start giving us speeds like 600mbps, then u may consider switching but for now, stick with the nokia jare...

By the way, does this nokia router, have an external antenna? Cos the unboxing i watched was kinda funny: saw some cable sticking out..

FarEl18:
Do you mean it's only the 20mbps you can do?

I currently use the Nokia receiver + router and use the same 20mbps unlimited plan. But I was thinking of switching and buying the Airtel 5G router and be using it for either the 20, 40 or 60 mbps plan because the router is more portable and has a power bank.

Do the other unlimited plans work on the 5G router?

If na mostly downloading/streaming (not games o), just like me, buy the 20mbps plan jeje

Do not, i repeat, do not buy that 200gb unlimited ultra o cos e go finish in the twinkle of an eye due to the high speed ...

Intent247:
Omoh. I am just tired . Don't know which one to go for now

Yeah but it's not automatically o ...

I will have to buzz and tweak their twitter handles before it's sorted

To me, it's not worth the trouble jare

Intent247:
Do they give like 5 or 10gb after the expiration of the 200GB?

Check that url they gave u ... lemme find it for u sef ..

https://www.airtel.com.ng/broadband-recharge

Use the url above ... i checked it and the 20k unlimited 20mbps plan is there ...

Thats what i'm using and i'll renew this month end sef

Obviouslyblunt:
wanted to activate it one time, called Airtel and they said the 20k plan is no more, can I still activate it? How can I do it?
