You are right. Mechanic is wrong
but on a second thought, won’t a faulty coolant temperature sensor make the check engine light come on? My check engine light is not on.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by cucumbar: 8:36am On Aug 22, 2019
The radiator fan of my 2007 Honda Accord i4 stopped working, making the car to overheat. But when the AC is turned on, both fans come on.

A fuse was changed and it seemed the car was okay, but the issue came up again the next day.

the rewire is asking that I change the thermostat.
Does the thermostat affect the working of the radiator fan?
I was thinking it would be the Coolant temperature sensor.

Would appreciate if anyone could help me out.

Please see my comments in bold in your question.
thanks for your response. I appreciate. Hopefully, I won’t be rejected this time. I really want to visit that Cape Town.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by cucumbar: 11:11am On Aug 15, 2019
Please, can anyone help me address the following concerns?
1. how much do I need to have in my account for a 10 days tourist visit?
I had 1.4m the other time and was not issued visa, because of insufficient funds.

2.I want to apply in October again to travel in early January. Is it too early to apply?

3.For how long do I need to have bulk funds in my account before I apply? The second reason for rejecting my last application was ‘account transactions lack credibility ‘and someone here mentioned that it must have been because huge funds was deposited in my account shortly before I applied.

Thank you guys.

I visited Westgate mall and Nakumas. I was so devastated when that suiside attack occurred at the mall given the bond I had for it. Beautiful place. You wouldn't even feel you are in another ethnic vicinity. Just international and cosmopolitan feeling. You fit in.
Don’t mind those that are judging based on what they read online or on YouTube. I had the same perception until I visited. I was ashamed and sad, because we could easily be better than what we are, given our resources. I can’t wait to visit again, and if I have everything figured out, it’s a place I’ll gladly relocate to.

You want to make your comparison based on YouTube videos? Come on. I have been to Nairobi and I was surprised, if you want to bring in the issue of population then suffice to say they have more high rise buildings that Lagos which baffled me. I think where this east and South African countries have sway is the fact that they have indigenous whites who due to the nice climate built the place for their abode. [b]Nairobi to be fair can be called an international city. [/b]The capital is full of foreigners.
you can’t find a concentration of people from other countries anywhere in Nigeria like you would find in Nairobi. Is it their malls or the presence of international restaurants? Not like here where shoprite is the ultimate, or mr Biggs and tantalizer’s. Nigeria na nonsense jare. We have a long way to go.

The most developed city in Kenya I'd Nairobi.
With the YouTube videos I have seen of Nairobi, it is just a less populated Lagos.
Abuja is better by a long mile.

Most of the benefits countries like Ghana, Kenya have over Nigeria is because of significantly less pressure on public infrastructure.
That is why life seems easier and better. Even electricity demand can be traced to population and geographical size.
That is why India still suffer power cuts.

If you compare low populated States like Akwa ibom or cross river or even Abuja with these countries, you would find our there is no real difference.

Akwaibom, Delta ,Bayelsa, Rivers, Niger Lagos,have the capacity to generate 24 hrs electricity for their States non stop if they feed it to their States only.
Many parts of akwaibom already enjoy almost 24 hrs light.
Lies from the pit of hell. Until we tell ourselves the truth, things might not change.

I’ve been to Kenya 4 times in 2 years.

What aspect do we surpass them except in population and meaningless GDP that does not translate to better life for the people of Nigeria??

Through out my stay in Kenya, I didn’t experience a single power outage. Through out my life in nigeria, I’ve never had 1 week of uninterrupted power.

Is it security?
Is it roads?

Beyond Nairabi, Mombasa is so beautiful... kisumu and malindi are equally better experience than my whole life in Nigeria. Don’t knock it if you haven’t been there bro. Go and see and be proud of our fellow Africans.
Tell them. We are just living in denial, or at best, being patriotic. Who our GDP help?
I was in Kenya less than a month ago. I was wowed! That’s one country where things work!.
They might not be as rich as Nigeria, but it’s an organized country.
A lot of people talking trash here have not been to Kenya. I Dey vex, abeg.

I’m a Nigerian. Anyone that is saying Nigeria is better than Kenya either hasn’t visited Kenya or is only being patriotic. All the GDP talk is just on paper. It doesn’t reflect in the standard of living of the man on the street.

No, don't say that!! Heaven honours the tears of a woman passionately especially when she is hurting for no just cause.
You see @poster, I'll tell you to apologize, speaking out of experience.
I had this relationship for about 5years, gave and put my all in it to succeed. The guy hurt me in the end, i vowed never to forgive him because he never considered my emotionally grieving heart. He went ahead and got married to another, till today as I type, no offspring yet after more than 10years.
Yes, I eventually forgave him and moved on but it's a scar never to be forgotten. What am I saying? Do NOT allow this issue linger, ask her to forgive while still fresh, tuck in your ego and kneel for her. You might have hurt her in several ways and she stomached it all for love, she's hurting because of her sacrifice for you. Yes, not all relationships must lead to marriage but, must not end in hate either.
Good luck!
what makes you think his not having a child yet has anything to do with him hurting you in the past? huh

2007 Honda accord is way cheaper to maintain compared to C300 Mercedes Benz.
I know. I don’t want something that will be breaking down frequently, cos I’m in an island where access to good mechanics will require that I barge the car across a large expanse of water. But those Benz Dey enter my eyes bad bad, and I think I’m due for an upgrade. What do you suggest? Do they go bad very often?

bashtee09:
please ignore all grammatical errors

I finished service around march this year and i stayed with my brother in lagos who is a site engineer after service, he was the one taking care of my feeding and giving me money for upkeep, since getting g a job has been really hard for me.

Fast forward to June my mum went on my behalf to one of the well to do man in our community and narrated my ordeal to him, the man asked me to bring my CV the next morning, when I got their the following morning the man gave me his complimentary card and told me to go with my CV and credentials to the company on the complimentary card that I will be interviewed that same day.

when I got to the company I met like 6 people who came to collect there appointment letter, when i met the GM of the company the man said the person that directed me to come didn't inform him of anything, he called the man when I was with him but he didn't pick, he asked me to drop my CV and credentials that I will be contacted after he speak with the man.

I told the man what happened when I got back home, he said I will be following him to the Company the next day, when we got to the company I was given the post of Factory assistant and I was asked to resumed work the following week.

when I resumed work the following week I got to know the man that gave me the link is the chairman of the company and the company is a still a new company which is still under construction, we were all employed to assist the Indians who came from their country for the installation of the machines that will be use for production. the work we were being assigned to is very stressful let's just say we are working like a casual worker(labourer) we break strong concretes with hammer carry big irons and do all sort of work a labourer do, the work is very stressful and we works form Monday to Saturday (8-5).

I explained all what I have been facing at this job to my brother and this week he called me and told me to ask if their is a future plan for us at the company when they begin production, but I told him I don't know about the future plans of the company for us.

He said the reason he was asking me is to know if he should open a PAGA(Money agent) shop which I will be managing pending the time I get a better job or I will continue working at the company
but I am a little bit confused I don't know if I should continue working with this company despite the stress involves and hopes for a better position when they start production or I should leave and start working as a Money agent.

please help a confused brother.
Bro, your English is too poor for a graduate o. Are you sure you are one? I did better than this when I was in JSS1. SMH

Did you lodge a huge sum of money into your account prior to submission of your application. If so then that suggest the reason why they ticked account not credible. It once happened to me and I had to leave the money in the account for like 2 months before reapplying and I was granted the 2nd time.
I have a case similar to yours....I think I lodged that funds from my mutual funds investment one week before I applied for the visa.

the second reason was insufficient funds, but I had about 1.4m in the account which would have been more than enough for the trip . It was for a 10 days visit.
Please, I want to find out the following?

1. Did you appeal the decision? Or you just re-applied ?
2. How much balance were you having in the account?
3. How long did you wait before you re-applied?
4. On the form, where they asked if I have been refused entry into South Africa before, would my answer be Yes or No?( does denial of visa=refusal of entry?)

I wanted to appeal but seeing your write up is making me have a re-think(to wait a while and re-apply).

Please, what do you suggest?

Do the break down of your expenses

Get a letter from your bank attesting to the fact that your bank statement is legitimate

If there are lump sum deposits, explain

You may not get the visa but you would have been clear your name for future applications.

And send it via courier to the address on the refusal letter.
please will they get it if I send it through courier? Hope they will not say they did not receive it.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by cucumbar: 5:11pm On May 23, 2019
I just got a ups mail and visit visa wasn’t given. Reasons:
1. insufficient funds to embark on trip( had about 1.460m in the account with very healthy transaction flow)

2. Bank Statement transactions lacks credibility (wonder what they mean by that)

I was told I could appeal within 10 working days. Do I appeal or apply again later? If so, how long do I wait before I re-apply?

Is there anyone that was denied on these grounds and later issued a visa on subsequent applications?
