Interesting feature.

The truth of the matter is that these things are not meant for people like you and i that have thick accents.

I tried using SIRI on Iphone one time,and i nearly cried trying to explain to the phone what i want.

Just imagine an Ibadan person giving this Car a voice command lol.
SIRI can be customized to redognize any accent. I use SIRI regularly and it picks what I say most times. Nigerian-English accent is much better than a lot of other countries. Have you heard an Indian or Russian speak English? ... lol

Eyya, I know that feeling but don't worry, just beg him more, if he refuses, let him go, it shows he doesn't love you enough.

But don't be insecure in your next relationship.

For real?
Would you date a guy that is obsessed and insecure? If you don't know, testing her bf and contacting his ex was just a start. If the bf hadn't found out, she would have progressed to more heinous acts. I know her kind.
Please, if her bf doesn't want the relationship anymore, it's not because he doesn't love her.

So there are no single men to explore her options with. In a situation where a married person cheats, the greater evil is the married person not the person they're cheating with. Why make vows before God and man if you cannot stick to them?

Ok. Now, it's the degree of evil we are talking about? Never knew there are evils that can't take people to hell.

back then folks use to say that the thing is as a result of two mami wata quarelling.

but then wen I left myth and read far and wide... I discovered that both water are different, in mass, speed and sometimes direction..
since both are of different speed, heat, volume, they don't mix, they move almost parallel to each other.

Difference in DENSITY that's all.... This density is as a result of salt concentration.

They're free to explore other options (not sexually o) as not all relationships lead to marriage. Once you're married, you have to to respect your vows.

As a single lady, does "other options" include dating a married man who, as you say, may have talked bad about his wife...? If your answer is NO, then I repeat what I said earlier.....for every scum cheating man, there is an equal(if not more) scum cheating lady out there...

I laughed when I first saw Terry G's advert .. But, it's worrisome to see that almost everyday a new one is released. The "joke" is stale.

Let me know when the joke ends.

The old (aged) politicians would probably be laughing at the younger generations (so called leaders of tomorrow). A law that reduced the age for eligibility for contesting in elections was passed, instead of the youths to brace up for the challenge ahead, we are busy making silly jokes and posters/adverts of campaign.

Some of them lie about their marital status, some lie their wives are terrible ad they're on the verge of divorce. True some shameless girls go after married men for money, just the same way some marriage women are still getting advances from men. As a married person, it is your responsibility to respect your vows. If you know you can't respect your vows, you have no business getting married in the first place.

Safe to say single people are free to cheat, right?

Though I don't believe stories from Joro's blog, this particular story is not far fetched. Majority of Nigerian men have seen cheating as a badge of honour. My husband gists me about how his colleagues boast about it. If you tell them that you don't have a side chick, they look at you as dull. Some of these men have marriages as young as two years old, you start wondering why they got married in the first place. If you visit pages on SM from DPA to Chisom to mamalette to BOM, you just can't but get sick to your stomach how disgusting the average Nigerian man can be. Makes me wonder if the 'thou shall not commit adultery' part of the 10 commandments was written exclusively for women. Nigerian men, CHANGE!!!

Please, who are these men cheating "with"? Their fellow men? Unless you are telling me 100% of the girls are oblivious of the men's marital status. Most of these so-called girls that cry afterwards are fully aware that the men are married. Some even go as far as using charms to seduce married men. WOMEN complaining on this forum should shut up please. For every married man cheating, there is also an equivalent (if not more) cheating women out there... married or not.
Imagine the scum sidechick calling the man names because he cheated on her with her friends. She knew all along he was married, why did she go ahead to date him?

Politics / Re: Reps To Set Minimum Age Requirement Of 35 For Presidential Aspirants by bigtalla(m): 8:20pm On Jul 23, 2017
Many of these politicians have occupied all elective positions (State Assembly, Rep, Senate and even Governor) and know there's nothing left. So, the best bet is to relinquish their position to their children whose ages fall in the bracket of 25 - 35 years. If you notice, in the last 2 years, you will always see one governor, or Rep or senator celebrating his/her child's graduation..

The sole purpose of this new amendment is to pave way for their children to come into to politics and occupy their seats...

Let's watch and see...

What are the symptoms? Provide as much details as you can. If this code is correct, only gears 5 and 6 will work correctly. But you may never get there unless you drive in manual. To confirm that solenoid is the problem, ask your mechanic to swap the two solenoids I have circled in the attached image.

After swapping, if the solenoid is the culprit, you will only have 1,3,4 and 5 in manual. If it does not follow this, and only 5 and 6 are available, you have a TCM or harness problem. The TCM sits on the transmission.

Good luck!

Good day GAZZUZZ, Kashif, etc that contributed to solving my problem.
I did followed most suggestions made by some of you but still the problem lingered. I decided to buy a tokunbo valve-body (with complete solonoid) and invited a mechanic from Lagos to PHC to install.
He drained the gearbox oil, removed the faulty Valvebody, installed the new one and refilled the gearbox with new oil (as recommended in car manual), did a few checks and took it for a drive.
Gearbox and selection appears to be in perfect working condition. Drove around for almost an hour and no "Check Engine" light. Still decided to do a scan, and no error was found.
I pray this would be a lasting solution.
Total cost of the the job (Valvebody, ATF oil, labour and transportation) = 166k as against the 750k for a tokunbo gearbox or 3.5m for a brand new gearbox.
Thanks all for you time and assistance.

Cheers!!!

It will work, but Sadly the gear shifts will not be as usual, there will be a lot of abnormal movement.

My suggestion, sell car as it is, and get another vehicle.

Good day GAZZUZZ, still on my Camry gearbox matter. After scanning the car, it still showed only P0748. It was interpreted as Solonoid A being bad or short-circuited. My mechanic suggested changing the gearbox valve body (which carries the solonoids) and that my gearbox should be fine. A few other mechanics are still advising i just buy a new gearbox and forget changing the solonoid.
The thing is that, I can't sell the car (as u suggested) cos the offers been made are so ridiculous. I also can't afford gearbox (750k). But I can raise the cash for the valve body(and solonoids).
In your opinion and from your experiences, had there been successes with repairing a gearbox having similar problem like mine?
Thank you.

Before jumping to buying stuff that will cost alot of money. What has been the history of changing your transmission oil? You can start by checking the level of the transmission fluid and if the oil is very black instead of the normal reddish color. This could easily be fixed by flushing and replacing transmission fluid or not. Its better to always go from very easy to complex. I personally will avoid anything about conversion. The 'e go work am' mentality is not advisable. Oga Gazzuzz over to you
Thank you for your response.
This problem started after I changed my ATF. I think a wrong oil spec was used. How can this oil be flushed and replaced? Also, can you recommend the right oil to be used after the flushing. A different mechanic said WS ATF can be used.

Good day GAZZUZZ.
I own a Toyota Camry 2007 XLE 3.5Litres V6 Engine (2GRFE) 22 pin
Chassis Number : 4TIBK46K97U017641
When I engage the gear in REVERSE or DRIVE, there is a delay of about 3-5seconds before engaging. Also, while driving, gear selection is sluggish and erratic.
I did a comprehensive scan and got the P0748 error code.
I decided to change the gearbox entirely, but I was billed 750k for a 'Belgium' gearbox. I can't afford that right now. A mechanic said I could buy a 13pin and do a conversion from 22pin to 13pin. He assures me it would work perfectly.
This is a cheaper option an seriously considering. Kindly advise.

Thank you
Autos / Re: Please Always Include The Price by bigtalla(m): 3:21pm On Jun 27, 2017
I tend to agree more with the OP.
Personally, I don't contact a seller if there's no price tag. I did call in the past, but realized a huge chunk of them are scammers.
But I also understand why some genuine sellers don't put a price on their adverts. Some people will just be bidding unreasonably. Imagine a guy bidding a Mercedes benz C350 for 750k.

And I wonder if he knows the cost of clearing that car...

He is not misleading anybody. VO has said it over and over again that letter of intent means nothing.

Sometimes here people just jump on people they don't like without reading properly. Were your wife pregnant during the interview and lied about it then send letter of intent after getting the visa?

You are very correct.

2014, my wife and I went for a visa interview and was asked if she was pregnant, we said no, but she was actually pregnant. We were not properly informed and thought the easiest way was to lie about it. We wrote the normal ''letter of change of intent'' and got a reply that it was OK for us to travel. When u got to the POE, the CBP officer didn't say anything about the letter and we were stamped in for 6 months... Fast forward to 2016, we did a dropbox for visa renewal but was invited for an interview. The first question we were asked was, '' did you (my wife) give birth in the US?'' We said yes, and went further to expalain we paid all our bills and have zero balance,...bal bla bla.. he just said we were not eligible for a visa because we lied about our intent of travelling. We told him that we wrote to the embassy before travelling, he said '' those letters mean nothing to us''....

So please, do yourself some good and don't lie about your travel intentions.. It will somehow, someday bite you when you least expect.

Nice. I have seen a lot of houses that have the "wow" effect on the exterior. But when you go inside, you just wonder what the owners of these houses were thinking. I would rather spend more beautifying the interior than the exterior.
