Denn: Ok. Which road? 300km/hr.. in the south west? u probably can only try that on max 3 or 4 roads... Ibadan - Oyo road... Oghomosho - Ilorin- IleSha - Ife portion of Akure ibadan express Way... I said try- but a speed of 300km/hr is like gambling with your life with odds of 50/50... U probably will have a fatal accident 50% of the time you try that... Denn! It's been a while...  |
Pets › Re: Can Dog Bite Its Owner? by Coldplay007(f): 3:33pm On Oct 18, 2014 |
Dogsworld: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh God FoRBID!!!! I can't put him down!! No we plan to find him a new family and the real condition is being able to visit him from time to time. I had a dog call Sasa, a beautiful mongrel, we gave him away when he was 4 years old and continued visiting him and his new family until he died at the age of 11. So I hope that, if we decide to give him away for adoption, we will all be able to do the same.
funny you should mention aggression linked to pain. The first sign of aggression came after his visit to the vet. According to his handler, the vet put a muzzle on him and with his assistant they dug deep into his ears. He had a smelly infection in his right ear, and the vets really handled him badly.. he was fearful and chocoblocked with painkillers and other drugs. It's only after he bit somebody quite badly that we phoned the vet to understand why he had changed...
The vet then told us : " yes it is a side effect. You must take him back to his home and prevent anybody from petting him... Sorry Ma..."
Anyway the damage has been done. The problem is, this happened under our noses and we took a few things from granted, such as assuming that the visit to the vet was ok and that the dog was his normal self. So imagine another scenario: baby at home, graduates from crawling to walking and under no supervision starts walking to the dogs' kennels...
I agree with you, will look into giving him away for adoption to somebody who breeds (he'll be quite happy about that one), or who has security dogs.
thanks!!!! The problem with Muffy is not the chain but the fact that he was used to staying indoors with people he loves and now he has to stay outdoors and chained like a local dog.. He is depressed. Dogs Suffer depression too.. Had a similar experience with bruno a GSD, we had to move him out of the house at around 4 months, he was depressed for a while.. he was violent, won't eat and won't bark.. he got over it probably because he was young and we still showed him love. We also release him as often as we can.. I had to practically hand feed him then before he wld eat..... |

Do you have any input on the topic or you just came in to lash out at CityNG? Lol! We can all can make empty mouth on a faceless forum to compensate for our shortcomings in the real world..  Seems some people have a pathologic need to make people aware of their (pseudo)success...  Back to the topic! Y'all should know I won't touch an American car with a long pole..

CityNG: It's okay you can call me a liar no worries.
I say this with no malice, the only opinion that matters to me are of those in my inner circle.
When you do the right things in life and at the right times things come together with hard work.
You should probably do what I do, even at my tender age, when you see someone that is successful ask them what they do and how they do it and see if you can do it too.
The insult is not in your thinly veiled accusation, it's that you think so low that if I wanted to lie it would be about common $10,000 Dodge. It was not an insult, it was meant as a joke evidenced by the several smileys... Success is not measured by the number of cars you've bought in life and people that are really successful don't make noise about it.. You are one of my favorite members of this forum and my post is what it is, just an observation... |

Career › Re: Anatomy?,physiology?,or Medical Biochem? HELP!!! by Coldplay007(f): 12:56pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
profemoral: I am a graduate of anatomy with a bachelors and masters degree... still hoping for job. infact I have applied for PhD too.
job opportunity in anatomy is very very limited and too many discrimination from fellow medical personnel.
I think its better u go for courses like radiography, physiotherapy or medical lab. Instead of a PHD, do an MPH.... then volunteer in an NGO.... thank me later.... |
Career › Re: Anatomy?,physiology?,or Medical Biochem? HELP!!! by Coldplay007(f): 2:06pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
Well.. I might just be able to advise you..  I'm a med doc, started out in bsc anatomy and I crossed to medicine in 200L (it was possible in those days, almost impossible now).. The only place anatomy and physiology is applicable is in academics.. Job opportunities for grads of both courses are few and far in between.. You can't work in a hospital lab or anywhere else in the hospital... In fact medical schools prefer lecturers teaching medical students to be med docs.. so they will prefer to appoint a doc as a lecturer teaching anatomy than a graduate of anatomy (ironic).. Pls dive your medical biochemiStry! The annoying thing about anat and physio is that you will do the same course as docs, go through the same stress and sometimes do the same tests, yet you are regarded as 2nd class citizens.. It will take a strong will for a grad of physio or anat to graduate without a low self esteem/ inferiority complex... |

Should I go for another first degree(like Law ) or should I go for Masters .And if am to go for Masters what kind of course can you recommend me. N.B. I am not interested in visual and audio journalism (i.e journalism that has to do with tv presentation and audio presentation). Please also consider this in your advise : I need a career that can fetch me job easily in any of the European countries as well as in Nigeria. Try out Msc International relations...

Car Talk › Re: Fg To Launch Federal Auto Mortgage Scheme In October - Aganga by Coldplay007(f): 10:59pm On Oct 04, 2014 |
Lagusta: now what if the following ensues:
1) a worker loses his job
2) the company liquidates
and the worker/company buys the cars on mortgage, what could be done to avoid embarrassment 1. People who work in private firms actually buy cars with credit facilities.. if he loses his job, the bank reclaims the car.. When you default in payment for any reason whatsoever, the bank reclaims the car, that's why u have to make a down payment of a percentage of the cost, this will ensure that if for any reason you default, they would have a tidy percentage of the cost so selling the reclaimed car will offset the rest.. 2. The bank always retrieve their money, they can go as far as getting you a job so u will be able to pay back.. or they just reclaim the car... |

Well, for the o.p's requirement of a rugged vehicle that can handle bad roads often, u wouldnt use a crv or santa fe, would u? ....
And with a budget of 2m for a neatly used vehicle..... It'l be crazy to to buy a small suv with 4 cylinders..... U cant even "shoot it small" on the highway except u wan summersault. By d way, kia rio is not a suv  I meant sportage.. those SUVs are as rugged as you can get... and those are the only kind of SUVs you can get With that budget... |

For me, i dont like the Highlander cos of its small compact size..... Abi which kind medium size suv get same size with rav4/cr-v.....
I hope you'll like the acura..... You can park it beside any car without feeling intimidated
www.nairaland.com/1926244/2004-acura-mdx-stunning-luxury There are economical SUVS.. Honda CRV, Hyundai Santa fe and Kia rio are very economical.. except if you don't believe crossovers are SUVs.. |

Your initial thread had the appeal of affordability, but from this thread I can see you are moving away from that.. A 2004 corolla for 1.8M 2000 C240 for 1.7M Vox sharan for 1.2M These are clearly overpriced. I don't know why you think you can make it on NL With these inflated prices.. If a 2004 corolla is 1.8M, How much will a 2008 camry be.. 3.5M  Please do the needful before you lose your fans.. |

I'm gonna just dive in... It's just my candid opinion! Please don't take it personal.. I've been toying with the idea of buying a car on NL for a while so I've been studying NL car dealers.. I almost fell for Demola too.. until those threads start coming up.. I fell in love with your threads initially, because your cars where affordable.. their were all manner of dealers on NL with all manner of inflated prices.. Inspired, Fhemmmy and his clone (femmy2010) and you have to give it to them they have pretty clean cars.. they are even trying to bring down there prices, I saw a 2003 corolla for 1.5M from 1 of them.. though thats still a little high.. |
