Yes. I have to use someone else's battery to start and it.comes up then I continue with my Battery but if I pack the car without use for another 2 or 3 days, it won't start except.i remove the battery head within the days I didn't use the car
You have a simple parasitic drain. It’s a job for a knowledgeable auto electrician to handle.

In the meantime you’d have to keep taking off one of your battery heads until the issue is resolved if you know you want to use your battery for long without it packing up sooner than later.

That's why we are a participatory democracy. I'm not in government. Ask your government that question .

I also resent you thinking I support corruption and exploitation by government...because I support tolls.

As for me, I think that roads have to be tolled to keep them well maintained because they are not going to stay new forever.

Anyway, other countries toll their roads, and other countries pay taxes. I bet you think that their governments are exploiting them in your opinion.

P.S I am not a fan of corruption, and I don't like this APC government or the PDP governments that precceded it. But if you think that we can run a country on revenue from oil alone...better think again .
Fair enough, but let me ask you a direct question . . .

Between 1% to a 100% . . . What do you feel would be the probability that the funds realized from the tolling of this bridge would be embezzled?
Politics › Re: Mass Desertion, Retirement Loom As Military Proposes New Service Scheme by Conner44: 3:51pm On Oct 10, 2022
Kasssandra:
That's because the government and the people of this country are not realistic. They think they can fund everything from the oil money (they can't).

The fact is, every road should be tolled , including the federal roads in this country (I prolly would exempt LG roads). Pretending that we can keep roads well maintained without tolls is a big mistake...and one reason why we have bad roads. (Note I said one reason, not the only reason).

The 2nd Niger bridge on the other hand, has to be well maintained, and well funded, and the loans have to be paid back..hence the tolls. (I bet that in ten years, some government is going to remove the toll gates as a political gesture).
Hmm, so the people who are going to be making use of the second Niger bridge via passing through toll gates must pay a stipulated fee for its maintenance and building cost . . .

Isn’t it safe to say that the people instead of the government are the ones building and maintaining the bridge?

Why will the government build something for an inflated cost and then task the people being governed to pay for it?

Why not build more toll gates along other bad roads and bridges in the country so that other people too can help in offsetting their various maintenance costs? Or are those bridges not in need of maintenance?

Why will the government be choosing which to maintain from their purse and which to maintain from the peoples pockets?

Boss. Conner44. Great job you're doing on here. More Knowledge to you. Pls I notice if my leave my car for at least 2 days without starting/driving, sometimes the battery struggles to start the engine . Does it mean I need to change battery? Bought the battery a little over a year ago. And I ensure the doors are locked and no light is turned on inside the car. Car is EOD 04. Your advice would be highly appreciated Boss.
When you say that the battery sometimes struggles to start the car what do you mean?

Will it eventually start the car if you keep trying?

Or will you eventually have to go and find another battery to start the car because the former one has died?
Politics › Re: Mass Desertion, Retirement Loom As Military Proposes New Service Scheme by Conner44: 3:35pm On Oct 10, 2022
Kasssandra:
Probably for both.

Welcome to the real world.

Many companies and entities including government take loans. And end consumer pays for them in part via paying for servicies.

That's why people pay attention to the loans government takes. In this country and outside this country.

Either you have a well maintained bridge by paying tolls, or you don't.
So why is it that all the other roads and bridges that are built in other parts of the country at the same time are not tolled? Or don’t they require maintenance too?
Politics › Re: Mass Desertion, Retirement Loom As Military Proposes New Service Scheme by Conner44: 3:21pm On Oct 10, 2022
Kasssandra:
Yeah, because that is what they do in sane climes to raise money to pay maintenance costs.

We have bad roads all over the place because Obasanjo stopped tolling roads 20 years ago. In return for a partial removal of subsidy then. See where it has led us to.
Did you inquire if the tolls they want to put on that bridge would be for it’s maintenance or to offset the loans that were taken for it’s construction?

This one no be problem for the native doctor, it’s like he’s even enjoying their noise. Maybe he has some stubborn Children that don’t like waking up early to perform their chores.

If he really wants to get rid of them all he has to do is adorn his full babalawo regalia, paint his face white, tie chicken feathers and cow horns on his head, cut raffia palm frond leaves, dip it into red paint and hold it in between his lips, carry a black calabash in his hands and step out of his house.

He will then perform a slow dance while hopping on one leg and turning around 7 times in front of those cele worshippers then slowly start approaching them with his hands lifting the calabash and his mouth mumbling some incoherent jargons grin

They will FLEE and even forget their loud speaker and microphone never to return again wink

Good morning senior pilots.
What do you guys think about going into bolt with my car, an Acura tsx. It is a 2008 model and it is 4 plugs. I intend to drive it myself not full time though.
Is it advisable? Is it a good side hustle considering the car is quite different from corolla and the civics.
It’s a wonderful alternative. You should use it without issues.

i know the first two relate to the 02 sensor, does it mean i should change it or its the wiring?
the p1381 ....i dont know if its the alternator that need changing or fixing or the distributor

kindly assist

honda babyboy, 4 plug auto
P1381 can either be caused by your distributor or the cylinder position sensor that’s connected along with it. Check the two carefully for which isn’t functioning properly and change.

Guru's my 08 civic tensioner just got spoiled and I just fixed it, it doesn't last atal, what's the way out Pls help.
There are 2 tensioners in the civic engine, there’s the serpentine belt tensioner and the timing chain tensioner.

If it’s the serpentine belt tensioner that is always giving you issues then get a good replacement with the right size of bolts and let the mechanic installing it torque the bolts using the correct specifications

Too tight or too loose and your issues will continue.

A simple look at the screenshot Muhammadson sent would have saved you from this long epistle.

The screenshot provided his confirmed earnings from Google adsense.

And also there are more Nigerians living in Nigeria making big bucks from YouTube. I don't know why it's hard for you people here to believe, it's common knowledge .
My brother . . . that’s Nigerians for you wink

It’s absolutely painful when people shoot down others when they are not too knowledgeable about certain circumstances surrounding a topic in debate. It’s probably why that Bella guy got into deep problems with the EFCC in the first place. How or where can he start explaining to them how monetized his YouTube channel was for him to generate such amounts of money. They just can’t bring themselves to believe it and therefore choose to ridicule you instead of try to understand.

but in the end we are all Nigerians and they are your brothers and sisters to live and suffer along with you in the glory of ignorance lol. I liken them to the other chickens in the comic below . . . grin grin

I want to see u do it and b successful at it before u tell me and I believe.
When working with google’s YouTube you don’t only earn by the views, there are other numerous activities and avenues you can utilize on your YouTube channel that can also generate affiliated income for you.

1. If in your YouTube video, you make use of a particular item/gadget and input a link to a store where your viewers can also purchase such an item you will get paid a fraction of the cost of that product via affiliated links. Many online websites make use of this feature eg. Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress, etc

2. You can increase the revenue generating potential of your YouTube account by giving Google the permission to in run their own advertisement ms on your videos. Google can input these adverts either at the start, middle, end or in timed sequences within your videos (if they are longer) and you get paid for viewers watching these adverts. If they decide to click on the adverts themselves then your commission increases.

3. Do you know that when someone goes to google.com to search for a video, google fills the first few results with hits from YouTube? If you follow any one of those YouTube links you’d be taken to the YouTube viewing page where you can watch that specific video you clicked on BUT if you scroll below that video as it’s playing you’d find other similar YouTube videos from other authors, clicking on another video after or in the middle of watching that initial one will still generate a fraction of referral income to the original video that dragged you the viewer into YouTube from google.com in the first place?

3. Do you know that a YouTube channel and a YouTube video are two different things? A YouTube video is just a single hit among other hits from different authors while a channel is a total of videos from one single author. Do you know that the more time a viewer spends in a specific authors YouTube channel the higher income the owner of that channel makes from that viewer?

4. Have you heard of something called viewing hours or play time on YouTube? This isn’t concerning video or advert clicks or hits anymore but the actual amount of time that users spend watching your videos on YouTube. The pay for this is different from hits and clicks. I can come to your YouTube video, click on it and it opens and then after watching for 10 seconds I exit and you will still get paid BUT assuming I chose to stay longer and watch that video to the end you will get paid higher for my view. That is why you hear some people brag that they have a total of 5,000 total hours of view time on their channels. This isn’t about hits or clicks anymore but the total amount of time that the play button was being run on their channel and not how many times it was clicked.

5. YouTube is seriously monetized that almost everything you do on it generates money for the owner. Do you know that viewer subscriptions pay the owners? Do you know that simply unmuting the volume pays too? Watching a video to the end and then rewinding it to the beginning or center also pays as well. You might be calculating all these in cents but at the end of the day it multiplies to form your total earnings for the month.

6. Do you know that I can approach a company, brand or individual and make a deal with them to incorporate their products or services into my YouTube channel and they will agree to do so? They won’t pay you directly because google can flag your account for copyright violation so they must involve google in the agreement to monitor your channel and pay you for the use of their branding. They send the paychecks to google and google forwards the paycheck to you after taking their commission.

If you read up on YouTubes T&C’s you’d get a general idea of how their monetizing techniques work and you can also find ways to legally incorporate your own external money making techniques into your channel as well. Everything boils down to knowledge and having the right mentorship which anybody can get by knowing who to ask the relevant questions

So Biko if I doubt, open my eyes.

I want to see before I will believe it is happening.
Pearl, there are many ways of learning about a subject you’re not very conversant about but fighting against any information concerning that subject is not one of those ways.

Just know the right person to ask questions (where, what, when or how) or get mentorship from a grounded user and you’re half way there. Truly the first step is to buy Canon camera and a stand or one better iPhone 14 pro max and lighting equipment but without knowing what to do next you are highly likely to regret your expenses.

I have already understood that you’re a very practical person (aka. Your famous seeing before believing attitude and arguing to the contrary) but mehn . . . sometimes keeping an open mind is far better in the long run.

There are many ways people can earn money on YouTube asides from view and clicks but if you don’t know you will never know

Outside using whatever tricks to circumvent your true identity, YouTube pay less for Nigeria views and not to Nigerian YouTubers.

What I mean is that if a view/click cost #1 for a Nigerian viewer and $3 for an American viewer, the Nigeria YouTuber will earn $3 if his YouTube is viewed and or his affiliated ad clicked by an American.
It is not a question of where you are, it is a question of where your audience are .
Have you ever heard of the guy before? You think he won’t be as famous as sabinus is he was into Nigerian dry comedy?

Once your google accounts is not set up with Nigerian details google won’t tie your user experience or monetization market to our country’s environmental indices by default except you specifically choose it to do so.

His niche is different from what we often see on our tube space here in Nigeria. He has a global niche and his viewership comes from all over the world not even Nigeria. He targets foreign affairs so as to be relevant to those continents outside Africa where the main money comes in from.
