Hi guys, please I need advice.
Recently got a neat 1 1/2 year Naija used camry xle 2003 v6. Everything except the speedometer works fine when it was inspected before purchase. We started and off ignition several times during the inspection and there was no issue only for me to get home, parked the car switched off ignition, came out of car and decided to park properly but to my greatest surprise the car won't start, no sign of crank/rolling so I checked the battery terminals but they were fine. I tapped and locked it more yet vehicle won't start (dashboard lights and fan come up fine). I disconnected one of the battery terminal and went in.

Next day after purchase about 11am I reconnected the terminal, started the vehicle i didn't start so I called in a battery charger, we fixed his battery and at once it started, (he checked and the alternator was working) believing the fault was my battery I handed it over to him for it to be charged. I used his battery that day to see a friend, came back home and parked.

Following morning I started it and it responded at once and I drove to the battery man's shop, collected my battery, fixed it and it started at once and I went back home. Later that evening I started it, it started at once, I took it out and came back home.

Next morning it started once, I ran it for some time but didn't take it out althrough that day.

Next day it started at once as I set for filling station, on getting to the filling station I switched off ignition and bought fuel but when it was time to move out alas! it won't crank. I had to call the battery man, he brought his battery and it started at once so I gave him mine to charge and drove from Ikorodu to Ogba, got to my destination (a hospital) parked and switched off ignition came out of the car but was told to repark for the person behind me to come out. Again car did not start oo, we had to use another battery to start it. finally called rewire to check and he confirmed alternator is working. I drove to my friends place parked the car, removed one terminal and went for crossover service. I came in 7am next day, fixed the terminal and it started at once then I drove to another friend's place, upon getting there I removed the terminal. Time to leave, I fixed the terminal and it started at once then I drove to my sister's place and removed terminal when I got there. Hours later I left there, stopped somewhere before heading back to ikorodu and parked overnight.
This morning I started it and allowed it to run for some time before switching off only for me to start it in the evening and it refused.
I had to call the battery man to bring my battery to start it before I could go out and on getting there after parking I switched it off and immediately I tried starting it and it refused till I got another battery.

My confusion now is
1. If it is my battery that is bad why is same thing happening with the battery man's own?
2. If its the alternator, how come it doesn't drain while I am driving?
3. If it is the battery that discharges, how come most time it starts in the morning
4. Why is it that it fails more immediately after I park

Odudu Otu found akolo's chest and became the winner of Gulder Ultimate Search 12

It’s been a couple of exciting weeks for fans and followers of the GUS reality show and it’s sad to see the 12th season come to an end Damola, Odudu, Tosin and Damilola managed to make it to the last week of the reality show but only one of them emerged as the the winner.

The winner of the survival reality TV show Ododu Otu goes home with N50m worth of prizes, which including the SUV.

My friends were taken aback when I told them I haven’t listened to any MJ songs. A lot of myth about the guy. My brother made me despise him the more( a lot of erroneous belief). Make I go download heal the world. The only Heal the world I know for now is pathoranking’s.

Please do, listen to that song.

Being too religious minded made us misjudged many things.

Klass99:
I am not Nengi and character never hides itself, it always shows. I've been described as difficult and hard to please. So, if I say someone has a good character from assessments made, based on continuous interaction with them, you best believe me.

What I liked about Nengi was that, with all her beauty she wasn't arrogant or self conceited. She was in her prime with loads of boys/men chasing her but she maintained a level head, pleasant and decent persona.

Guy las las just say, you no get anything to talk and don't try to spin this around as ''only the people in a relationship knows who has good character'' People outside of a relationship can tell good character too.

Don't be so sure, he that wears the shoe know where it pinches.

I have been in a relationship where she seems all good and nice outward but different inside. Comes late to any private appointment with me but will never late to other people's appointment the list goes on

To the best of my understanding, based on the nformation I got. If you have gotten compensation plan and you accept it, other mails requesting for documentations will be sent to you and welcoming you on board and you are expected to resume on the agreed date

GiftOfLyf:
H
But would one resume without signing employment contract? Cos some of us have accepted but yet to get any signed agreements. Though planned resumption was stated verbally just as some mentioned here.

However for those that are currently in one job or the other, resigning based on a verbal resumption date is not plausible despite accepting the offer.

I have modified my earlier post.

After the agreeing with compensation plan request for offer letter, Ithe was supposed to come automatically, I think there was a mix up.

GiftOfLyf:
Yeah some got offers, but not sure they’ve signed employment contracts yet.

If anyone has got both let’s know

Correct.
Note: if you have gotten compensation plan, sign it and call to confirm and request for your offer letter.

Confirmed information I gathered, some offers are out already and more still coming.

He should just tell us they are changing it to allow BRT buses turn easily.

jayjaycool:
Thanks for this feedback. At least it is now obvious when we should be expecting the finalization of all roles. This is why I said I won't be surprised if it took them till mid august to start finalizing and sending out mails.

The only way anything can happen earlier than that is if they want to offer some training before resumption.

Yea yea

Download Skype for business on playstore. Clink on the join meeting link on the email they sent you and it will redirect you to the app where you join as a guest.

Thanks, I have given latest update

jayjaycool:
Let him try first. That trial is a bonus for him. Than them calling and you are making excuses when you have not be employed yet. It's a bad omen. If he joins and the network is terrible they will call him ASAP, he will not even need to tell them to. That way he will escape unnecessary explanation why he didn't join when his session schedule started.

Join 5mins before time. Unmute yourself and exchange pleasantry. Within that 5 mins you will be able to know your fate with the network.

You are a professional, show it.

Anyhow, make sure u ask them how soon will you be getting a communication regarding their interview. That you are asking SHOULD IN CASE YOU NEED TO GIVE prior notice to your present employer, so you do it accordingly and on time.

All the best to you

Did the interview today
The Skype didn't work so they called me, it went well, though they spotted that from my c.v I am a little more specialized in another field.

I asked the likely kick off time and they said September. Still enough time to go.

philip2014:

jayjaycool:
Are you done now? Did they mention to you when you'd be getting feedback from them?

No, I am scheduled for 24th

Nesto27079:
i did my final interview June 10th and still waiting to hear from them

How did you join the Skype meeting?

joefab:
Just finished my interview, wasn't so intense just many safety related questions as those guys weren't much of technical people. Asked Seun when I should be expecting to hear from them,
she said hopefully before the end of week.

Please I need assistance on how to join the Skype meeting, on mobile phone, it keeps telling me to get credit.
Did they ask about current pay and expectations?

I earlier posted this story:
https://www.nairaland.com/5694171/4-out-5-pastors-said

In the initial writeup, I said how someone I wasn't getting along with someone I was dating, prayed about it with different people since we were very serious, and how majority said we were meant to be together. I however wasn't fully convinced as we seemed to be different, constantly having little issues, different views and values in life.

Moving to today...
I decided to move on from the supposed "wife". I went with someone that gives me peace of mind. I also thought its better not to live my life based on "pastor said this or that"
However, I've had recurring dreams about the 2nd lady (that gives me peace of mind). The dreams always center around us been together and she suddenly leaving, I won't be able to find her later in the dream. 2 days ago, was the 3rd dream of the same nature.

I am now slightly worried, I don't want to give in to dreams, and want to believe I can pray things are successful and go well between us. Conversely, based on our traditions, maybe I am the one not listening to advice. Between the 1st lady and I are no longer on talking terms.

What do you think? What advice do you have on how best to move forward? I want to learn from other's experience, those who have traveled this road before me.

What the pastors mean is that you will end up marrying her weather she is good or bad.

cynosuree:
Looking for his replacement, or "better options" when I'm still in a relationship

This is where modernization and keeping in vogue gets us. People will leave the key points of a marriage partner and be focusing on lesome important factors. You already said he is intelligent, he is not good in those areas cos he is not interested. If you have life issues and goals he is intelligent to contribute.

This all issues of tertiary issues of life that people are focusing on makes them give less concern to more important things. Some years back people were made to believe it is about handsome, Prince charming, he sweeps me off my feet, six packs, big english, sporty, fashinista etc not until later it becomes obvious those are not key things.

You don't necessarily needsomeone who is good at your topics as spouse but someone who understands life.

Lovelies1:
Christian speak in tongue to God and it meant for God and speaking in tongues his through the power of the holy Spirit and not by the speaker himself and let it stick to your � ear that never is it used to talk to man but only a man by Power of the Holy Spirit communicate the supplication of his heart to the ear of God alone who hears and answer

Ask yourself what actually is the meaning of "speak in tongues"

1 corrithians 12:10
Jesus spoke in tongue at the cross of Calvary and people are saying blasphemy speaking in tongues doesn't actually means speaking out of this world but using a language the mind of the speaker or anyone one close to him know at that moment 1 corrithians 12:10 made you feel to understand for one speaketh without understanding the meaning of the language he spoke with another through the spirit interpret and might later find out the language the speaker spoke in

A Yoruba man whom leave in a Yoruba community among Yoruba people might start mixing language uncommon to him and his community during prayer, probably Dutch, french, Arabic at the same time during an intercessory prayer

This also reminds guy of the purpose of mankind to him, everybody is one to God

I think I will create another thread for this

Pleaae, Where in the Bible dI'd Jesus speak in tongue?

Mariangeles:
You leave praying to the women alone too? OK.

I never said so, bro there areally many women you will pray with and the next minute they will still call you yeye man.

Many of us Christians male and female pray much but ignore the principles/instructions of the Bible where as mus to promises of the Bible come with instructions.

Mariangeles:
What a story!

Through difficult times, that is when couples need to be closer more than ever.

A FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER!
If only you had asked God for peace in your home...

Oga many women are prayer warriors but they will still push bible principles aside whenever issues arises. In reality many of us Christians today don't apply biblical principles and virtues in our personal lives.

Dreyton36:
I usually dream of seeing myself flying in my dreams, I can walk on the floor fine , but anytime u wanna fly I can easily fly above anyone else , sometimes I use it as fun for others to see that I can fly and they'll be amazed
Pls I don't understand the dream , anyone with an idea or fact pls

I guess you like cartoons/superheroes?

od501:
Wait till i tell u how uncle was fucking nephew..

My Broda, I pray u don't see half of what local man have seen oo... Else u might decide to stay single forever

Lol

od501:
At first, it was the touch-touch and sweet name calling whenever they are phone or when they are around each other. But then i thought it was just mother and daughter stuff (cos normally gals too dey over touch), after then comes gossip from neighbors (but it's just gossip so i didn't take it seriously).
But ma guy the day she left her phone and was chatting with a neighbor outside, local man innocently picked her phone to collect some she had said she downloaded of recent, behold! The most absurd video clips ever!

Hmm eyes have seen terrible things

od501:
Don't them. That's how I later found out that this bae is her mother's lesbian partner. I so admired that gah that year.

AH! This one strong o.
How did you find out

tchidi066:
Can't believe the kind of comments I'm reading here, it shows that relationships these days are nothing but sham, you men should continue, one-day you would meet your waterloo, what goes around comes around.

See the misconception now.

You folks keep quiet as if you don't have secrets only to be condemning those saying theirs

Paxie55:
Men are really scum. See comments.
Dirty and irritating voyeuristic creatures.
Tufia. Whòres from deepest part of hell. No wonder God made you lots with mud sand.

You are complaining of men cos you folks are not talking, always shying away from saying truth yet condemning those who speak up.
Let the ladies speak up and you will hate yourself on their behalf.

Note I don't subscribe to promiscuity

missimelda01:
Because it's the unfiltered truth.

Makes sense yeah,

Just wanted to know the angle you are coming from. I have never subscribed to view of variety when it comes to relationship/sexuality.

missimelda01:
Definitely adopting this line

Definitely cos it its defensive to female folks

Okoroawusa:
Hungerbad died last year

Oh, may his soul rest in peace

sarrki:
You lack moral upbringing for saying that to the dead

Please who is the dead?
