To be honest, those scrap iron scavengers are at risk. There probably over a thousand UXOs all over the Northeast which have not been cleared. UNMAS are doing a lot but it's not enough. The government has to lead. Children in villages even pick up these things unknowingly.

Hello people

Pls what good quality spark plugs can one use for 08 Civic?

nurey:
Switch back to the Mobil 20w50, you engine cannot run on synthetic 5w30. Pray the bleach in the synthetic don't wash sludge down to strainer and oil pump make engine no go knock

I have no issue switching back if that is the cause of the problem. But I need to be sure

ksmart027:
Does your car have thermostat?

Yes please

Hello guys,
Pls my 08 Honda Civic (I-robot) is running rich (consuming fuel) at 12.1 - 12.3L/100km and smoking a bit. The smoke is not visible but one can smell it and there's some black soot in the exhaust.

The issue started over 2 months ago. My usual consumption used to range from 9.8 - 10.2L/100km till the the problem started.

There's no check engine light and no codes. Scanned myself and an electrician also did.
Both upstream and downstream O2 sensors, catalytic converter and MAF sensor in place.

I've changed complete set of plugs twice. Used the common NGK the first time, and used one Belgium set the second time. On both occasions, I got improvements of only about 0.1L/100km.

My exhaust has been checked and they said no leaks.

I also told mech to change my pressure regulator (returner). There was no change.

The only significant change I made to the car before this issue started was changing the oil from the common Mobil 20/50 the former owner used to Castrol GTX 5/20 as recommended by Honda. Oil level has not dropped and there are no leaks.

The problem is frustrating because the car has been a really good car since I bought it till this issue started. And I no ready to dey save for engine replacement now.

Please help.

Akorkor:
Run ooo.... Dont let them put rubbbish vaccines on your kids especially the MMR vaccines

First of all, there's nothing like MMR in Nigeria.
You mentioning it shows you've been getting information from a lot of foreign conspiracy theory groups that have nothing to do with Africa.

Second, the MMR vaccine in places where it's used, is one of the most effective vaccines that has contributed to the very low incidence of Measles, Mumps and Rubella in the countries where it's used. Most cases of the diseases they record there are among immigrants from poor countries in Asia and Africa (plus Nigeria), and people there who have refused to vaccinate their children.

arantess:
just this morning my child s due for Rotavirus and co...others are free but rotavirus is 12k, to be taken at 6weeks, 10wks and 14weeks totaling 36k

how many families can afford this in nigeria? i get your point but these are the issues on ground

All vaccines in the national programme are free of charge.
Kindly report to the LIO of that local government.
Or you can provide me with details privately to follow up.

joshjc:
Caf is trying to undermine West Africa with all these useless regional qualifiers,why should Nigeria be playing again Ghana or ivory Coast, those should be star matches in afcon competitions, in women ancon,only Nigeria qualified among the top West African team,same thing in age grade competition, but in southern Africa,South Africa and zambia will always qualify

It's this new CAF President Patrice Motsepe. He apparently has a Southern African agenda. The West African FAs should fight this nonsense that he's doing

Femich18:
Which kind English be this, handsomer

Lol, you dey correct person wey correct. You could have checked your dictionary first before correcting the person

jaxxy:
why is he wearing rain boots in the naija pix?? covid protocols? Lol

Anyways he move to not only better paying job bt better everything.

I think he just came out of the theatre or ICU in the first picture. Explains the boots and head cover

Ladymillion:
Hmmm looks like diabetic fit ulcer, taker her to a good teaching hospital and add prayers too, may God restore her health

.

Diabetic foot happens to people with poorly controlled diabetes over several years.

How can you think of that in this 21 year old girl. Will she have diabetes for that long without knowing?

HantaVirus:
All these clout chasing idiots should rest please

Someone who is ready to die won't even have time to post on social media

I know people all around the world are going through hard times and depressive moments but I think this little girl here is chasing clout

I may be wrong though

Don't be ignorant.

Is it not in this same Nigeria that in recent times, we've seen more than 5 people post viral tweets or messages about suicide and actually went ahead to do it. Izu, then that guy who was in debt and many other examples.

Moh247:




Atiku loves Education so much that his University is one of the most unaffordable to common masses


Even grants that should go to LAUTECH, UNILAG and OAU, Atiku has it connered



.

Grants are earned on the quality of your proposal. It simply means they're doing quality work there which has impressed Google.

Wealthoptulent:


Our system not functioning at all.. i lost a dear friend on Sunday after auto accident without cut on his flesh, jus internal bleeding n taking to 3 diff hospital in 3 diff towns in ondo [agbado - ikare - owo] [between 11am- 5pm bfr he passed on].

Don't get ur PVC..... GET UR PASSPORT

Sorry about your loss.

Internal bleeding is not "just". It's much more difficult to diagnose and treat than external bleeding which you can see.

symbianDON:
my worry is this: the idea of 'clinic days' as practiced in government hospitals across the country, is it a global standard practice?? I ask because I feel it is not right! Early January this year, I had an accident that affected my right foot. I couldn't walk and was in great pains...I was to see a consultant but was told to 'wait till Monday as Monday was the clinic day for orthopaedic cases'....to add to the absurdity, when Monday came, I was informed that the consultant only sees 3 new cases each Monday!! It sounded so pathetic and ridiculous!!

It's a global practice.
Aside clinic, they have ward rounds for admitted patients, surgeries, academic activities and other engagements too. Those other engagements have their own days.

If it's an emergency, you go to the Emergency department or A&E. If it's not an emergency, you wait till your appointment date. It's the global standard and people can wait for months to get seen even abroad.

Aldol:
And in abroad they work their assees out,Na their type bandits dey kidnap

Even abroad, people can wait for months before they get seen in a tertiary hospital. Na una wey never travel out dey quick insult Nigeria

Nigerians should stop giving wrong answers to questions they know nothing about.

You don't even need to be married to a partner to get a dependent visa for them.

Go to gov.uk and read up everything about dependents on Tier 2.

How did you even apply for and get a Tier 2 without reading the guidelines and terms on the website? Or did someone do it for you?

sultan003:
The question is are they in the university/teaching hospital system

Of course.
Some of you need to travel and experience Nigeria

KristaPretty:
Please confidently and sincerely show me a fresh doctor out of school earning 200k WITHOUT connections and I would give you a very big handshake for speaking on what you claim to know

Yes! He can save up and go out of the country to still study this same medicine

Is it after studying in that country your called Nigeria then he begins to earn peanut?

I know medical doctors who earn 80k, 100 or 120k

You are saying 200k

He is not a doctor and he is making more than or equal to a doctor

Please let him do what pleases him

This is my own opinion

You are also entitled to yours and you definitely have low insight

Don't think you know it all

House officers all over the country earn above 200k immediately after school before NYSC.

Even back in my time, it was close to 200k.

18wheeler:
This is so sad and shocking. It’s reported that the woman was setting up some local perfume called ‘turaren wuta’ which is burnt in charcoal while the husband tried to refil their generator tank with gasoline and the sparks from the burning coal met the fumes of gasoline, then the fire incident.
This is one of the negative results of bad public utilities, Maiduguri city has been without power from the national grid since January 2021 until a few months ago when some parts began to get power. Most of the city has been in darkness for over 18months now and people have to provide their power through generators and solar for those who can afford.
This is the second incidence I’ve witnessed in about 8 months. In the first, two young sons of a police officer died after a generator explosion in the barracks inside the police college maiduguri. How many more such incidences will we see before power returns to normal?
One can never be perfect but to be honest I limit my use of gasoline generator to mostly when I need to power the borehole to pump water. My battery lantern, power bank and car charger are sufficient for me.
RIP to the couple.

You really know Maid.
A city running on generators.

michlins:
If you can save 70% of your income then I will suggest you forget education for now and focus on your job. Two years down the line, you can use your bulk funds to Japa and then start a new life.

In all you do, I wish you well

KristaPretty:
Dump the school, make money, save money, avoid lekki or ibadan girls, save money I repeat, then dump your coursemates in Nigeria and move abroad with the amount you saved.

You guys are funny.

Even a fresh doctor out of school doing internship earns a bit more than 200k.

So he should go abroad without qualifications? To do what jobs? Na so e easy for the abroad.

When he can just focus and finish his medicine, go abroad much more easily, start working immediately and make serious money.

Some of you should desist from giving advice on matters you don't know much about.

Even for naija here, e get doctors wey dey make millions per month with international organisations.

He should never lose that MBBS.

shogotermies:
I was in ile-ife when my uncle's wife gave birth. When we got home, we realized he has jaundice. The solutions which grandma recommended, although she was a nurse but she used a combination of some home made solutions
1. You allow your baby get a glimpse of the morning sun, that one around 8 to 10am filled with VIT D, not the crazy sunrays in the afternoon oo
2. You get unripe papaya, you wash it well, you slice it with the bark, endocarp and seeds in it, and soak in water. The baby takes a teaspoon morning and night and the mom take a quarter cup of it daily.
3. To clear the yellow eyes, the mom would occasionally sprinkle her breast milk into his eyes.

I know these maybe dumb, but it was something I witnessed and it worked.
Please trying it is at your own risk and insult. But it works.

There are different causes of jaundice. There are also different levels of severity.
The cause and how serious it is will determine the kind of treatment. Most cases don't need serious treatment but the serious ones need the right treatment given very fast.
So how will they know if they don't rush to the hospital first?

dway2life:
Massive relocation due to Boko Haram, one of the state with high number of illiteracy, poverty..what do they know about the internet and not to talk about registering in the inec Portal..

Is there something you guys are not telling us?

An average Borno graduate knows far more about the labour market and probably has experience already before finishing school due to exposure to many different international organisations present there.
Someone graduating with a B.Sc in Biology probably already knows about Logistics and Supply chain, Information mgt, Human Resources etc even before graduation due to volunteering with one or two NGOs. A graduate elsewhere in Nigeria has probably never heard of some of these fields.

This same Borno that has people from different parts of the world walking in the streets?

Some of you really need to travel and see other places for once in your life.

Kelvin30286063:
I read it, just thinking outside the box here. If you've been to Makoko, you'll know how terrible mobile reception is in that slum. Calling such an ambulance in an area like that will take a lifetime.

You still don't get. It's not an ambulance, it's a clinic just like the normal clinic you walk into when you're sick. Just that this one is mobile and in water unlike other mobile clinics on land. Emergency response can be integrated into it but that's not the main service

Kelvin30286063:
As much as this is a brilliant idea considering the number of people that commit suicide on third mainland bridge everyday, I still think it's a little silly cos I drowning man cannot call an ambulance lol
But we can't throw away any good development in Nigeria cos we don't get many very often so well done to them.

It's a mobile clinic for riverine communities. Make una dey try read small

shaggy007:
Ok, Mr Quack

I'll prefer to argue with my microbiologist that runs blood work for me.

Alright. Na your type go do oversabi go take unnecessary meds based on unnecessary tests with no improvement then come back to the doctor. Unfortunately, we still have to do the dirty work of helping get your body right again.
Enjoy.

shaggy007:
That's why we have a test called blood work .

There's no test called blood work in medicine.
It's a loosely used term for routine blood tests.
Still doesn't achieve much when there's no prior clinical (at least provisional) diagnosis.

ceaser:
This is the nonsense they do up North. They use electricity like no be here and always with full voltage and constant power. But to pay the bills, nah. In fact, they still find it easier to get prepaid meters than anywhere else in Nigeria.

Instead all the wàhálà is piled on users in the south of the country. They are made to pay thousands of naira for powers not supplied even as they are denied the issuance of prepaid meters ij their millions.

No light in Maiduguri.
The story clearly said he connected them to a generator powering streetlights but agenda must agend

juman:
Hmmmm.
I doubt it. The picture show picture of old fridges.
Anyway, you may be right.

It's ice block and iced drinks business, which is booming in Maid because of the power challenges and heat.

shaggy007:
So you're saying it's unnecessary for her to find out what's insider blood?

How do I even start?
There are more than 100 different types of blood tests. How would she know which is relevant?
A lot of skin conditions don't even need any blood test, at worst she may need what we call a biopsy to check the kind of cells in that place. That's done by a type of doctor called pathologist.

The point I'm making is that you don't just get up and go to a lab. Most times, it's waste of time and money because whatever test you do may not be relevant to your condition because a doctor didn't see you to decide what test you would need, that's even if you need a test at all.

remsonik:
idiot you forgot all this natural products are good for the skin treatment too. Go and do your research on all this items I have listed and it's use on making good quality cosmetic products for your skin.

Go to the hospital if you have a wound and a doctor will even tell you to get original honey and apply on the wound care for it heal fast

There are hundreds of skin conditions with different treatments.

Also there's nothing like "natural". Everything in this world including our bodies are all chemicals and are all from nature.
