Car Talk / Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Bluecurtain: 2:11pm On Jun 24, 2023
Good day gurus,
Pls I need your help with my camry 04, about 3 months ago, I notice it jerks,, hesitates and drags whenever it's about to change to gear 3 while on motion.

I complained to my mechanic,, he said it's the brain box that has issue,, said I need to get another brain box,, Rewire said same thing,, about 2 other people said same thing.

But just to be on the safer side,, I went to Elizade,,, they ran a scan and the technician said it's the clutch leather, said all we need to do is gear servicing.

We did the gear servicing quite alright,, infact he change the gear filter but this same issue still persists.

What do you think pls??

Family / Re: Marriage Wahala by Bluecurtain: 9:57am On Aug 14, 2022
1. You'll get tons of wrong advice here,,from young boys and ladies,,especially frustrated ladies without partners,, they're always happy to see marriages with little cracks,, they're always quick to tell women to leave their men.

2. Don't take it out on your parents inlaw for not picking you up at the airport,,that's your husband's fault,, he should have instructed one of his siblings to do that.

3. Your hubby going round looking for spiritualists is very wrong, pls involve the services of a marriage Councillor if need be.

4. Don't follow the advice of the guys telling you to divorce your hubby. Marriage is different from dating/courtship. The pressures sets in when the kids come,,when family issues arises etc.

Best of luck

I understand NMA,, its not like the virus is really ravaging and killing Nigerians like Italy and America.

Our doctors haven't ran out of steam,, they're not even complaining. They treat and discharge corona patients on a daily basis. Bringing in Chinks sort of undermines their effort.

The money spent on bringing in these chinks could have been channeled to drug procurement,, medical equipments and other incentives for our health workers.

Family / Re: Today Is International Men's Day ! by Bluecurtain: 5:28pm On Nov 19, 2019
Unfortunately men do not get the attention and accolades they deserve. They labour and toil day and night just to make sure everyone in the home is OK while nobody gives a hoot about what the man is passing through.

Sadly in "some homes", the women tweak the kids brain into thinking they are more of a parent than the father just because they're more at home with the kids, they use emotional and psychological tools. The father beats the kid for a particular offence,, the mom draws the kid to her,, pets him,, say some sweet things in his ear.

The kid grow up with the mentality of " my mom has always been there for me". He comes home with loads of clothes and and other goodies for the mom while the dad gets a bottle of schnapps. cry,, well the women won't stop saying I carried you in me for 9 months,, sucked on my breast for 2years, backed you for 3years bla bla. Emotional blackmail.

Men deserve the attention,, love,,care and accolade too. Kudos to the responsible men out there.

Politics / Re: Atiki Abubakar Tackles Corruption Allegations With CNN (Photos) by Bluecurtain: 10:14am On Feb 16, 2019
Like someone said the other day :

Atiku is our best option not the best candidate.

If we vote Buhari out ,Nigerians will be establishing a strong message that's "the power truly belongs to the Masses,if you under perform you're gone ".... let's not miss the chance to make that established.

I guess they've seen the handwriting on the wall,, consider this:

When Buhari won the presidency in 2015, the Shiites were part of the 15,424,921 that made the victory possible. Before the election, Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai, led Buhari to visit the leader of the group, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, at his Kaduna lair to seek support. He was obliged.

A lot has happened since then. In 2015, the Zaria massacre occurred during which 348 Shiites (some accounts put the number at over 1000) were killed by Nigerian soldiers and buried in mass graves. The dead included three children of Zakzaky. Since then, he has been locked up together with his wife even when the courts have granted them bail.

In April 2018, clashes broke out as the Nigeria Police fired teargas at Shiites protesters who were demanding the release of Zakzaky. The clashes left many dead and several others injured. The police detained at least 115 of the protesters. In October 2018, Nigerian military again killed at least 45 peaceful Shiites protesters.

Today, el-Rufai, the President’s Man Friday has exacerbated the distrust between Christians of Southern Kaduna and Muslims in the state.

Benue, a stronghold of the PDP had no IDP camps before 2015. They voted for Buhari, elected an APC governor. Today, thousands of indigenes live in IDP camps in Makurdi, afraid to go to their ancestral homes that have been taken over and effectively occupied by armed herdsmen.

In 2015, the ubiquitous and very powerful college of retired generals that have determined how the political pendulum swung since the first military coup of January 15, 1966 were in Buhari’s column.

Today, many of them, including Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida, Theophilus Danjuma, Aliyu Gusau, are not.

And some people say it does not matter. Really?

In 2015, the all-powerful Lagos-Ibadan wing of the human and civil rights community were behind Buhari. Today, some of them, including Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, have distanced themselves from him

In 2015, some of the country’s most prolific and powerful columnists were with Buhari. Today, the likes of Farooq Kperogi, Sonala Olumhense and Dele Momodu have openly rebelled against him.

In 2015, the international community, particularly the U.S. under President Barack Obama’s watch and Britain with David Cameron as Prime Minister, overtly supported Buhari. I doubt if those countries are still queuing behind him today.

In 2015, Buhari contested against Jonathan, a Southern minority Christian with no political base. Today, he is running against one of the most formidable politicians in this dispensation, a man with a solid political base, clout and deep pocket, a Fulani Moslem, from a region – North East – that last held power when Alhaji Tafawa Balewa from Bauchi State was the Prime Minister in the First Republic.

In 2015, APC went into the elections as a united, pragmatic and determined party hungry for power, eager to make a resounding political statement against a highly fractious, disorganised and disoriented PDP. Today, the reverse is the case. A strong, rejuvenated and virile PDP is going into Saturday’s election with a highly fractured, hemorrhaging APC where some governors are not in talking terms with the national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.

In 2015, it was the PDP presidential campaign convoys that were stoned, booed and jeered. Today, it is the APC. On Monday, President Buhari nearly took a stone meant for Oshiomhole at a campaign rally in Abeokuta.

Yet, some people insist that Buhari still has his fabled 11 million votes locked up somewhere.

PDP has been able to dramatically reinvent itself and stage a remarkable comeback, APC cannot because of its inherent contradictions.

So INEC just found out that they have logistics and operational issue.

After deploying sensitive and non sensitive materials, after deploying both police and other security agents.

so what is going to happen?? will the sensitive and non sensitive materials be withdrawn and redeployed again? how about the human assets(POs, APOs, even foreign observers).

How about Nigerians that came in from other countries just to vote and jet back??

They want to frustrate people and get them angry so they can boycott the election. Then that would give them the opportunity to rig massively.

INEC had 3years+ to prepare.
This is disappointing and disheartening. angry

What if Traditionalists wake up tomorrow and decide to include their shoulder muffler,,"ose sango",, and the likes to their kids school uniform,, we'll all shout to high heavens.

What if Lord's chosen starts wearing their apron on their uniforms.

What if catholic students decides to start dressing like nuns to school

What if,,what if and what if,,, definitely there would be chaos.

We've been blinded by religion. Funny enough, these religious apparels don't in any way means morality.

We've mixed religion with everything, and it has clouded our sense of reasoning.

We are the most religious country in the whole world and yet, we are 100years behind less religious countries. What a shame.

From my observation so far, Nigerians see these killings as the normal thing, just few people are voicing out against it. The aggression with which we are calling this menace out is not enough at all.

If it were to be Oyinbo country and just 2 people shot dead by miscreants,, social media would be agog with noise from celebrities, religious leaders, political office holders and Nigerians alike. Thank God for this cardinal though.

You'll see updates and status like

" _pray for Manchester"_

_Feeling sad with Japan_

_Mourning with France_

_Praying and fasting for Germany_

Even to the extent of using these countries flag as dp, cover photo, profile pix etc.

Buhari described the exact situation up North, I wonder why he thinks anything happening in that desert is applicable to the whole Nigeria.

Recently, we saw the report that only 25pupils registered for common entrance exam in Zamfara state and I can categorically say that's the least number of pupils writing the same exam in a single school in the south.

So who are the illiterates? Obviously the grossly ignorant Northern youths who are littered all over Nigeria begging for alms, killing innocent people, raping, destroying farms and constituting nuisance all around. After all education is Haram there.

skydeexie:


So, where are your facts to prove it is a myth?

The Rich Man and Lazarus
Luke 16:19-31
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’

30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Mister, if by now,, you didn't know that this Abraham and Lazarus story is just a proverb, an analogy, a fable, then you don't know anything. Cos I wonder the proximity of hell to heaven that Abraham and Lazarus will be discussing about water and some other things.

Does that mean hell is so close to heaven that residents of both places can see,talk and hear each other without stress??

If hell is that close to heaven to the point that people in both places communicate easily, don't you think people in heaven won't even be at ease cos of the heat from hellfire.

Come to think of it, we Christians have our own hell and believe whoever doesn't give his/her life to Christ will perish there.

Same with Islam and the other religions.

So in short we all end up in each other's hellfire.

A Christian ends up in Muslim hell, Muslim ends up in Buddha's hell, Bhuddist in Zoroastra's hell. It's merry go round thing. So at the end of the day, we all get roasted grin grin grin

I'm tired of the whole religious noise, I'm going to church today,, I'll still hear more of it. undecided
