Daddy Omolehin,

You are also a father of faith. Take responsibility too sir.

You are supposed to use seasoned wisdom to gather and grow the fledgling flock at this age. Do it with gunuine humility and prayers and God may decide to help us and not by flesh.

I was under your ministeration for many years. I was under Baba Adeboye's ministration too. No man is perfect, no man at all.

I don't want to say more than that. Because the new stones are made to see the works of patriachs before them, esp those they have come across, even from the spirit.

May God have mercy everyone.
No father of anywhere. The man don talk am. They are father/CEO of their denomination. 😁

TravelRe: Ugandan Tourist Praises Positive Change At Murtala Muhammed Airport by cucumbar: 11:10pm On Apr 11
Giftimoni:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWSCnpneT7s
A Ugandan traveler has sparked renewed discussion about service delivery and passenger experience at Nigeria’s major aviation gateway after sharing a noticeably improved experience at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

According to her account, her recent arrival process was smooth, orderly, and professional—marking a stark contrast to her visit two years earlier, when she allegedly encountered airport staff who demanded foreign currency payments. Her latest experience, however, was described as free of any form of extortion or undue interference, suggesting a possible shift in operational standards.

The viral testimony has reignited broader conversations about long-standing concerns previously raised by travelers regarding conduct at Nigerian airports, including issues of unofficial payments, inconsistent customer service, and delays in passenger processing. These concerns have often influenced perceptions of Nigeria’s aviation sector among international visitors.

In response to such criticisms over the years, authorities have introduced various reforms aimed at improving transparency, strengthening oversight, and enhancing passenger experience across international terminals. While official improvements have been reported in some areas, public opinion remains divided on whether these changes are systemic or isolated.

The recent account is now being used by many observers as a case study to assess whether reforms are translating into real-world improvements for everyday travelers. Aviation stakeholders argue that consistent service delivery at entry points like Lagos is critical to rebuilding trust, improving tourism prospects, and strengthening investor confidence.

As the conversation continues online, the key question remains whether this improved experience reflects a sustained transformation at Nigeria’s airports—or a positive exception in an otherwise uneven system.

A lot of people from nigeria that got canada visit visa end up using it to claim asylum. Because of this, Nigeria is now seen as one of the countries with a high rate of visa misuse, and it has led to massive rejections.So it’s better to understand the situation as it is and focus on the facts, instead of being emotional about it as nigerians are not seem as a truthful visitors applicant!
Well, nobody talked about asylum before you brought it in.

I was only correcting the notion that people don’t visit canada on vacation except you have family members there.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.😁

Have you ever seen anyone go to Iran or Somalia on visit to claim asylum? Stop deceiving yourself. If you don’t have a strong reason for visiting, your Canadian visitor visa application fee is simply a waste!
Please read before you respond.

Did you see asylum in the post I quoted?

The person I quoted said typically ,people won’t visit Canada purposely for vacation, and that’s a lie.

People visit Canada for tourism , even if they don’t have any family member to invite them.


That was how he said you shouldn’t apply for visitors visa if you don’t have at least, 45k Canadian dollars as POF.

Stop making it look like a big deal

Applying for Canadian visa is just like applying for any other country visa with same status as Canada, just that it takes time to get a response.

Yes ...... but you have to make your case strong by answering one key question: Why Canada?

Typically, people don’t visit Canada for vacations (lol, you get what I mean). So if you don’t have family members to send you an invitation letter .....which is not necessarily a problem ....... you need to strengthen your profile in other ways.

If you have a solid travel history, especially multiple trips outside Nigeria, that helps. But regardless, the most important thing is clearly answering that one question:

Why Canada?

Your answer has to be convincing, logical, and aligned with your goals of visiting....don't say world cup if you havenot visited the Uk to watch a foodball match in the past or have a history of going to cities when worldcup is happening in them
😁 there is no place people don’t visit for vacation. Even Iran and Somalia, people Dey visit.

Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by cucumbar: 11:29am On Apr 03
RyanAutomotive:
Good day sir,

Thank you for explaining the situation clearly. We understand why this is worrying — especially after replacing several components and still seeing the same fault. You’re right to pause before allowing anyone to “open the engine.” 👍

Vehicle: Toyota Camry 2008
Engine: 2.4L (2AZ-FE)

Let’s break this down properly and remove the fear and guesswork.



🔧 Professional Diagnostic Insight — Camry 2.4L (P0303 & P0172)

Reported Symptoms:
• Persistent P0303 (Cylinder #3 misfire)
• P0172 (System too rich – Bank 1)
• Rough idle
• Jerking at low speed
• Swapping plugs, coils, and injector made no difference
• Unplugging coil #3 causes little or no RPM drop

This combination tells us something very important:

⚠️ Cylinder #3 is contributing little to nothing at idle, and the ECU is over-fueling to compensate.



🚨 Critical Observation (Very Important)

You have already ruled out:
• Spark plug
• Ignition coil
• Injector
• External wiring faults

That immediately narrows the issue down to mechanical or air/fuel control imbalance, not electrical guesswork.

However — this does not automatically mean the engine must be opened.



🔍 Likely Root Causes (Ranked by Experience)

1️⃣ Intake Manifold / Vacuum Leak at Cylinder #3 (Very Common)

On the 2AZ-FE engine:
• Intake manifold gasket leaks often affect specific cylinders
• Cylinder #3 is a known hotspot

This causes:
• Lean misfire on one cylinder
• ECU compensates by adding fuel → P0172
• Coil unplug test shows little change because the cylinder is already weak

➡️ This is frequently misdiagnosed as a bad engine.



2️⃣ Valve Seating Issue (Not Full Engine Failure)

Possible but less severe than people fear:
• Slightly burnt exhaust valve
• Carbon buildup preventing full valve seal

This results in:
• Low compression on cylinder #3
• Poor idle contribution
• Misfire mainly at low RPM

⚠️ This can often be confirmed without opening the engine using proper tests.



3️⃣ Stuck-Open Injector or Fuel Control Error

Even if the injector was changed:
• Aftermarket injectors can over-fuel
• ECU trims may be heavily skewed due to long-term misfire

This causes:
• Rich mixture code
• Rough idle
• Cylinder imbalance



4️⃣ ECM Fuel Trim Adaptation Not Reset

After repeated parts replacement:
• ECU continues using old correction data
• Misfire and rich codes persist even after good parts are installed



🔎 What Tests Should Be Done FIRST (Before Any Engine Work)

Before anyone talks about “bringing the engine down,” the following must be done:

✔️ Cylinder compression test (dry & wet)
✔️ Leak-down test (pinpoints valves vs rings)
✔️ Intake smoke test (checks gasket & vacuum leaks)
✔️ Live data review (short- & long-term fuel trims)
✔️ Power balance test via scan tool

Only these will tell the truth.



🚫 What This Is NOT
• Not coil brand
• Not spark plug heat range
• Not random injector swapping
• Not wiring guesswork

Opening the engine without these confirmations is risky and expensive.



⚙️ Ryan Automotive Limited — Professional Take

From experience, over 60% of Camry 2AZ-FE cylinder-specific misfires end up being:
• Intake gasket leaks
• Minor valve sealing issues
• Fuel trim mislearning

Not total engine failure.

An engine should only be opened when mechanical loss is proven, not assumed.



📌 Recommended Next Steps

We strongly advise:
• Full Toyota live-data diagnostic scan
• Compression & leak-down testing
• Intake system smoke test
• ECU adaptation reset after confirmation

📍 Clients bring vehicles to Ryan Automotive Limited from different areas because we diagnose first, repair once, and avoid unnecessary engine work.

If you want clarity and peace of mind before making a costly decision, you’re welcome to bring the vehicle in.

please what are the chances that if I replace the gear of my 2007 Honda accord it will come out fine?

I have been having having gear issues recently. The D light started blinking and a code related to the shift control solenoid came up. It was replaced, and I cleared the code and topped up the oil because the mechanic complained that it was low.

So far, the code has not reappeared, but I still experience flaring , and hard shifting, especially on cold starts, so I’m thinking of getting another gear box, but I want to be sure it will solve my problem

CrimeRe: Two People Killed Near Plateau Polytechnic, Students Flee In Panic by cucumbar: 5:09pm On Apr 02
nairalanda1:
Jonathan's admin when bomb blasts were the order of the day,to the point that even the National police hq was hit, and abuja was at one point hit almost every now and then, banditry was live and direct, and we haven't forgotten Ombatse where 58 policemen were killed somewhere in Nassarawa, and also the good old boko haram was at one point running large swathes of the Northwest and beheading people left right and center. And the Chibok girls issue, which wasn't the only school invasion ..at least 2 boys schools were raided by Boko haram and nearly 90 boys were shot dead, and some students kidnapped. And the chibok girls were not the only ones kidnapped, we had thousands of girls kidnapped in the NE to serve as slaves for boko, ditto boys. And so on and so forth. And the hundereds who died when Boko shot dead people in the main Kano Mosque.And the church burnings, and the herdsmen crisis. And kindapping...live kidnapping. And the police chap who was dumping dead bodies of young men in the South east...Jona regime.

And don't anger me by saying i am defending tinubu. It is bad under tinubu..banditry has grown into Mafioso style levels, and kidnapping is worse, it was bad under Buhari (and Buhari made things worse by dismissing the foreign special forces from russia and south africa in the name of nationalism),I'm voting him out in 2027, I have never voted for him or buhari self, nor have I voted for PDP. But let us not pretend that things were better under GEJ.

What even pissed me off was the gej supporters online who were blaming everyone but the leadership for the problems. It was even so annoying that even trying to support jona then was difficult..when you heard someone saying that it was the fault of the Hausas not the government...the same playbook that tinubu supporters are using now. (Buhari supporters blamed America and the ZIonists). It's like people don't know in this country what a good government consists of which is why we accept mediocire government so long as na our brother...

And now we are about to have another 4 years of the same old mediocre government under APC. Not that the oppisiton is better.
Why are you always talking off point ?

So because it happened during Jonathan’s tenure, then nothing should be done about it ?

Are you ok at all?
