Monday’s meeting marks the second to be held in seven days.

BadMaster:
Speed tests I just did now in Abuja on MTN 4G. On my router, which I placed at a good spot, I get 200+Mbps on MTN 4G

Here is my review of the Airtel 5g Smartbox router. It is good, and it depends on the area you are in, for network strength. In the compound where I live, maybe because of how the house was built, I have a sweet spot in the house where the network is fair, and most times, I get the blue light.

You are not getting the 5g light.
Despite this, I get like 10mbps or lower if it is peak hours (I think in the afternoon or so). Now, I got this by simply using the Wifi.

But one thing people write off is the yellow ethernet cable that came with it (for LAN). I used it on my laptop rather than connecting via wifi, and my speed jumped to 23mbps...it was really fast and all that, sometimes fluctuating between 15mbps -23mbps.


Airtel 5g smartbox router is good if that is what you want. You have to think of the cost. It is portable, unlike Starlink. I can't carry a dish about if I want to travel or subscribe to a roaming plan because I changed my address.

It is for big wigs...wanted to get Starlink before but then, thought of power consistency (electricity), and that Airtel router came with UPS (powerbank), AND IT IS just 50k...just went for it and I have not regretted it since then. Me that was still thinking of coughing out 440k, but now I get to keep my change, and use the remaining money for sub if I wish. If one thinks of the cost of fuel, or going for solar with batteries...it can be a pain in the ass with the type of country we are in.

I work online, run my business, watch videos (no buffering), play Call of Duty Mobile, and my spouse also uses it on her phone...

Conclusion: If you work from home (remotely) and the company requires a certain amount of speed (like 100mbps), you can go for Starlink so you can retain your job and keep earning. If you want something moderate, cost-effective, go for Airtel.

Pic 1 is using the router with the UPS (powerbank) (some says it last up to 8 hours) that came with it. Purely Wifi

Pic 2 is using the ethernet cable with my laptop (I have grown to love this).

The subscription is cheaper in Nigeria. I’m in East Africa and paying ₦75k monthly, and I use only around 500 GB monthly

Getting Airtel in ibadan.. but the speed is same as 4g and even very poor yesterday

I have this Friend that have a shop. He is living with a women that happens to take care of him. Despite the fact he have a shop. He will collect money from the woman for transport to work. Feeding and everything. It has been like that for years and became worst with tinubu government.

There was one day we were together drinking. And we discuss alot of things and I then told him that if a man married the wrong woman he will not get to his destiny. I told him there some women that a man will marry and he will prosper and while some will be hardship.he said nor be lie that God have a women for every man and if the man didn't marry that woman god plan for his life will be difficult.

When we drank and through with everything. We went out ways.

I never knew that discussion get into the guy head. I have been looking for him sence then and each time I go to his shop. The shop will be locked I was like what is happening to this guy until the day I saw him. I was shocked as he lost weight significantly. Oboy watin they happen where you come dey. But you have reduced oh. Where is your woman? He said she left. How? watin happened? he said they had some issues and he refused to tell me. I ask him when that one happened? and he said that day we see last. I was really angry is like when he went home he said so many things that provoked the woman like he is not progressing since he is with her for years or something like that. She left and the guy can't even transport himself to and fro to his shop and feeding. Chia.

Check the inner panel on the driver door for your correct tyre pressure gauge, and are sure it's the guage you bought from Jumia in the pic?

Also tell us the vehicle you are driving.

Really? .. that's one of the dumbest advice I've ever heard ... and I'm no mechanic nor know much about cars. Reason this ... let's say you have a 4 litre bottle of dirty water. You pour out one liter and pour in one liter of pure water.... shake the bottle very well.... pour out another litre and pour in a litre of pure water....repeat same until you pour in all 4 liters of pure water. My question to you .... do you now have 4 liters of pure water in the bottle? Same with the transmission fluid ... each time you drain you will be draining out the good you just poured in with the bad. Why not replace all at once?

Transmission fluid is not usually on one's Toyota check list .... unless you begin to have transmission problems. You don't... but I can see you're looking for one. If you have to change the fluid I will advise you Google what fluid to use for your particular model car and get it .

mrvitalis does make a point.

In UK, Fuel duty is currently levied at a flat rate of 52.95p per litre for both petrol and diesel. 20% VAT is then charged on both the duty and the standard price while Nigeria subsidises.

Unleaded is £144.76p. Enough to make one protest if charged in Nigeria. Road tax is £190 per annum.

I have never serviced the gear since I bought it 2 years ago, so I can't tell which oil is inside, I guess its the one that came with the car.

When you say one quart, you lost me there, our measurement in Nigeria is by Litre. When you say remove, do you mean remove from the engine or from the gallon? Mind you the Hardex I want to buy is 5ltrs.
