Car Talk › Re: Oil Pressure Light Comes On When I Switch On Car Then Goes Off by EkoErrands: 9:21pm On Apr 30, 2022 |
Juice191968: Hey guys, I just changed the diode on my alternator last week and I noticed that anytime I switch on my car the oil pressure light comes on for like 3 seconds then goes off. I am a bit worried as I did not use to see that warning sign before Please help
Gazzuz Rad auto works If you turn your ignition on without starting the car does the oil pressure light stay on? I think it's normal for older cars more like the battery light stays on until you start the engine then it goes off. If truly there is an issue, then it's either your oil filter needs to be changed as well as your engine oil. If the oil is dirty and the oil filter is clogged, it can cause a delay before oil pressure gets to it's normal runing pressure. Solution: go for an oil change and endeavour to change your oil filter. If that doesn't solve the issue then the next likely solution is to open your sump and clean the suction tube strainer, it may be clogged with debris from a previous engine overhaul. If that still doesnt solve the problem, then you may have a failing oil pump which needs to be changed. |
Family › Re: Family Meeting Cos Of Wife Advise Needed Pls by EkoErrands: 7:02pm On Apr 29, 2022 |
Sominablack: Greeting Nairalanders, My wifes attitude has been unbecoming, disrespectful, avoiding intimacy for months, insultive and always playing the silent treatment which I have learnt to ignore. Her mum visited and confirmed these attitude, she did counsel and advised her to change yet she was reluctant and stated she dont want to continue being a wife that she has lost love and feelings for me because I want things to be done decently and in order in my family which she is opposed to. Having observed this her mum left angrily and told the matter to her husband to confirm some of the issues of my wifes behaviour which I had stressed on and as a result had a family meeting with her family since I was invited not long ago.
Now with the attitude still being displayed by her, her dad asked me to come down to the village by next week so the issue will be discussed in their larger family so that my wife would come and explain to them why she is behaving the way she is doing, but not up to three months we had a meeting and now this one billed for next week again.I dont feel like honouring the meeting because I have done my best to follow peace even though I cannot fathom where I am at fault. At this juncture what do I do? This man! If you die for road now or plane crash...she will fxxk another man that same day. Continue to dey travel up andan...becos of woman way clearly no love u and never will. |

Career › Re: How I Got Fired From Chevron By A Gay Boss by EkoErrands: 3:23pm On Apr 07, 2022 |
Sixfiguresmart: Happy to get an oil and gas job. Dream come true. Everything was perfect with me. 3 years into my job, a new boss showed up. A light skin Nigerian male. His wife and kids were in Canada. I visit the gym 3x per week.
He requested to go to the same gym. Pretended to work out and asked that I mentored him. It all happened fast. I thought he was responsible as he was married. He started touching my body inappropriately. Caressing my chest holding my arms. Thought he was enamored by the muscles only. I would somehow break him off and redirect him to the session.
Then, after work it was about meeting me, talking to me, confiding in me. Initially, I was happy to build a close relationship with a boss. Of course, that's my career growth right there.
Not until, this night, he invited me over to his lounge. As soon i arrived, he undressed to a G-string, I was dazed for real. He tried to kissed me. I blocked it. Then, came the love, the feeling, and sex plea. So, I took my leave quickly. Felt disappointed and betrayed. I told no one but my bestie who laughed over it and made a mockery of the whole thing. Telling me that he would have busted his ass for the money.
All I needed was my job and no drama. He advanced toward me several times. Showered me with expensive stuff. I rejected everything he offered. I couldn't shake him anymore, no hugs, nothing. I felt truly perplexed cos he was very connected and has brothers and relatives in top positions in Chevron. I met with him, talked to him man to man politely. He told me he had been in it since he was 14. I asked him if he would love that life for his kids. He said, no! So, I told him that I have a faith, a conscience and a commitment to my God. That I would not entertain homosexuality. So, after more attempts, the hate set in.
Well, my final year in Chevron was horrendous until i finally got axed 17 months after my new boss showed up. I moved on with my dignity but with a bigger lesson in life. I kept it a secret for many years. Only my bestie new about it.
Many men are victims. People hardly believe the few who cry out. Many will question the authenticity of my history and blame me afterall. Making it harder for the next man to come out.
Many argue that they will beat, hit, or punch a man for advancing toward them. There are consequences. Read your room. Justice hardly comes in a world of injustice. Sometimes, the best thing to do is walk away. With my long temper, my office will officially write me to explain why I fractured my bosses neck so they can decide whether to sack me or sack him |

If you dont know which bolts to tighten from time to time and when to apply black engine oil. Or if you dont know that grease doesnt work for this machine, you will only end up losing your money because repairs on this machine is very expensive.

Family › Re: My Wife Behaviour Towards My Family Members/Siblings Is Driving Me Crazy by EkoErrands: 5:09pm On Dec 19, 2021 |
Richpet85: Please do not mind my english consider any error as typo but I honestly needed a sincere advice.
My marriage will be 8 years by September 2022. The journey of marriage has not been rosy and sometime I feel I made a very huge mistake by marrying my wife. I met her in April that year, we date for 6 months and we finally got married Sept same year. Prior before we got married I took her to meet with my siblings since my both parents were late specially our 2nd daughter who her husband sponsored my secondary education. She was cool with my family and never raised any concern during this period of courtship.
Suddenly a night of our wedding everything changed. That same woman that took care of my family as hers turned into directly opposite of who she used to be. To cut the story short, she started dispising my family and the thought of their sight irritates her.
She started by complaining about my sister's son living with me before we got married, her mum and other of my siblings to the point that anytime my eldest sister visited she will leave my house with tears.
My wife also ensure she send all my siblings and relations away from me and my house no go area for them. But what confuses me was that she doesn't behave in a similar manner whenever her own siblings or her mum visits our home. Her behaviour towards my family has destroyed the joy we once had as siblings. The marriage has produced 3 kids of which my last child is less than a month old. Anytime she put to bed her mother has always been the one coming for OMUGOO. None of my siblings can come to my house because of her attitude towards them.
I can't tolerate it further am dying silently as am typing this msg her mum, her immediate junior Sister are in my house and every where is very peaceful. If they were my mum or sibling my house would have been burning by now.
I made conscious effort to kill and ignore this feeling but anytime I see her mum and sister. I feel very depressed in my own house. There are other ill behaviour she have which I can tolerate but seeing myself separated from my siblings because of my wife is my greatest Marital night mare.
I am sincerely fade up with her but my kids are my greatest weakness. The thought of leaving my house and go far away from her or rather travel abroad and leave there permanently has recently overcrowded my mind. But I can't stop thinking about my kids, their future and what they will turn into if she is to raise them alone.
Don't forget I have provided her with everything needed to be comfortable in marriage, house, cars, business etc mostly importanly I am not cheating on her, I don't smoke, I don't keep late night and I don't have friends because she has sent everybody close to me away from my life.
I need a mature advice and no insult please.
I am emotionally trumatised and feel so depressed. Simple, if your family cant come then her family cant come too. Not even a house help can come. Because of "covik" 19. Tell her you dont want her mother to bring covik 19 to the 1 month old child. And you stand your ground. Las las her character go reset. |

EkehPraise: Like every well brought up young man, I'm in my early 30's and really doing fine at least I'm not begging for anything from anyone.
I set out this year to wife my girlfriend whom I had dated for 2 years but her character made me think twice so we broke up and I moved on. I have tried to make friends with matured ladies in the church I worship but it's been from one bad experience to another.
Ever since I started looking for a woman to call my wife I have been meeting different characteristics of women. Within the space of 1 year I've met one who is a maniac, one I met at a hangout didn't hesitate to show her lazy attitude the day she came to my place to see I'm a bit comfortable, another one I met recently in church turned out to be a thief.
2021 is almost over and I'm yet to find a wife. Where do you advice I go in search for a good woman?
Wife material scarce oh! You need to break up with your spirit wife first b4 any physical marriage can work for you. |
Career › Re: Why Don't Mechanical Engineer Graduates Set Up Mechanic Shops by EkoErrands: 3:17pm On Dec 13, 2021 |
Awkabigboy: I mean the mechanics in Nigeria are mainly the informal ones except the car companies which I'm not writing about here. I mean our everyday mechanics are not mechanical engineers by profession , then why are certified mechanical engineers shying away from this lucrative sector to give the people what they indeed require. A mechanical engineer can design and build a car that will work. But he may not be able to repair it if it breaks down. Because repairs require experience; something engineers have to earn not learn. |
Properties › Re: Is It Advisable To Buy Land At Omagwa In Port Harcourt? by EkoErrands: 2:08pm On Nov 25, 2021 |
KINGJAJA888: Nairalanders Pls Help a fellow brother with advice so I don't go the wrong route Pls. I'm about to purchase two plots of land at Omagwa Airport road PortHarcourt for 1.4M.
Pls My PortHarcourt people is it advisable? How promising is the environment in terms of development? Help Me with advice and opinions pls. I'm scared of making a wrong investment Pls. I feel it's too far. What do you think? The problem is not with Omagwa, the problem is that those who own Nigeria have short down Port Harcourt for reasons best known to them Port Harcourt is now a shadow of its former self. Go to trans-amadi on a saturday and see everywhere looking like a ghost town. With weed growing in most premises. The short down of port Harcourt is affecting the development of places like Omagwa. As a result Omagwa will never develop until port Harcourt comes back alive and that will take a long time. My advice to you is dont put the bulk of your money in a place like omagwa, you can buy 1 plot so that at least you have a place in the state. But dont put all your savings in a place like Omagwa that can never develop unless PH is revived. All my friends that bought 6 plots each there are looking for how to sell them and invest in Lagos instead. |

Physically you have defeated him and you have placed yourself above him. He wont forget the experience forever and ever. Spiritually you have told your yourself that you are much more than 16k. Bro God cannot fail you if you believe. That 10k you are planning to give him is just poverty mentality. And it's very hard to break free from it. |
Properties › Re: My Former Landlord Is Disturbing Me by EkoErrands: 1:24pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
KOPArespect: Please kindly advice me on this issue. I got a job in Osun state and got an apartment of which i spent a lot to beautify the house ranging from the interior and exterior painting, application of wall paper in the living room among several others...
my rent was supposed to expire in September and i went to the landlord to talk about renewal, but to my surprise, he said he has spoken to the agent to serve me a notice over 6 months that one of his brothers travelled abroad and needs a place to keep his things. I spoke to the agent about this and he said it escaped his mind. i then asked them to give me time to get another house within that area since its close to my wife shop and daughters school.
During the period of my search for another house, the landlord met me and said i will have to pay for the periods at which i stay during the search for new house, i couldnt argue because i don't want issue with the man. to cut the long story short, i spent a month and 20 days during my search for the new apartment. he asked about the money while i was packing my loads and i promised him month end (deep down in my mind, i felt i dont owe him money since i was not given prior notice). i only promised him month end so that i wont have issues when packing the loads.
lately the man has been disturbing me to pay him the money which is about 16k
Please advice on what to do Send him 20k. He will think about it for the rest of his life. That's punishment for life. |
Car Talk › Re: Help!! Car Stopping Intermittently Only During Hot Weather Conditions by EkoErrands: 5:53am On Oct 29, 2021 |
angelick: I drive a Honda Accord DC 2006 and I have this issue with my car that some mechanics and rewire has failed to correct. Whenever I am driving in the afternoon and by the time I drive for about 15km the car will just be stopping intermittently after like every 200m - 1km. The engine always restarts immediately but this issue will continue till I park for about 15-20 mins and the issue will resume after about 10-12km drive. I don't experience this issue in the morning even if I travelled for over 100km. The temperature of the car won't rise either no matter how hot the weather but this problem still persist, yet several mechanics and rewires cant solve this.
Have you experienced this before? what could be the cause and possible solution? Thanks. If I were you I'll start by scanning the car with OBD2 scanner...you can buy the bluetooth ones for less than 10k online. But start from cleaning your throttle butterfly valve plate and housing with a handkerchief soaked in petrol, then use the scanner to check for bad Mass Air Flow Sensor, and lastly check your fuel pump if the thing still continues. |

Omorotionmwann: It has been 12years now since my dad has been down with Stroke which has affected his speech,his right hand and leg and some 4years ago,he couldn't walk anymore but had to be carried to sleep,sit and all physical metabolism is done where he is,even after I and my mum have spent and still spends a lot on physiotherapy,speech therapy,brain checkups at Mecure oshodi,routine and forthnight high blood pressure checkups with expensive drugs and still no changes but it gets worse,all done going around in taxi as I have no car.....
I was 18 and in 200level in a federal uni with him and my mum my only support system when all of this started,couldn't concentrate and focus on school work anymore as I am the firstborn of a 7 boys family and my attention was always needed.....Mum told me I need to drop out that she can't afford all of this alone but I was strong hearted and determined to graduate with a B.Eng...
I had issues with my lecturers as my attendance were poor and my course adviser said it to my face that I would never graduate but I never told them about my travails or they wouldn't even believe me anyways cos they were mostly SADIST,All Engineering lecturers in Uniben especially Mechanical/PRODUCTION ENGINEERING from 08/09 upward,OGUN KILL ALL OF UNA!!! Life was tough for me and my Mum....
Now that I am a Man and supposed to be focus on my life future and raising a family but this is still taking a toll on me emotionally,financially,mentally and I will come home to my mum nagging,crying that she has tried enough over the years and i might come home one day and she has left ....THIS BREAKS ME,I AM TIRED,I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO....I LOVE MY DAD,HE IS IN PAINS TOO!!!
IF I COULD SEE THE FUTURE BACK THEN WHEN IT STARTED,I WOULD HAVE ASKED THE DOCTORS FOR MERCY DEATH,DO NIGERIAN DOCTORS OR HOSPITALS GIVE OUT MERCY DEATH TO PATIENTS?
NAIRALANDERS,I AM DEPRESSED AND I NEED YOUR ADVICE
sorry for the long post. Mods please help this thread to front page for more advice Mine was 13yrs before he died. I was in SS1 at the time in 1999 when he had stroke and that semester was my best semester in all my secondary schooling. I remember my first 600k I made I used it to furnish the village house in preparation for his burial. I bought everything from doors to ceiling fan to vita foam etc etc. Tiled only the sitting room. So OP, my advice to you is do what we did. It's not my mom that was doing all the hard work again...we had a little cousin...I think he was 9 or 10 when his own mother died so he came to live with us and he started taking care of my dad in every way possible even while going to school and my mom goes to work. So what the family needs to do is employ someone to do the work...not your mom pls before she falls. And at the right time he would go and be with the Lord. And you won't die of guilt. Get someone fast. |

It's true it hurts, but you have to carry the cross.. it has its own blessings.. believe me.
Try and take care of him but KNOW your limit.. don't spend much on him but take care of him.
Even if he dies on the long run, you won't feel guilty.. you will feel fulfilled that you tried your best.
Encourage your maale, nwanyi Ibem!!! She must have seen alot to the extent of giving the thought of running away. If you can, get a nanny that can take care of your Dad.

Car Talk › Re: Experienced Drivers, How Do We Solve This Kind Of Tyre Issue? by EkoErrands: 8:22pm On Sep 27, 2021 |
Timagex: Hello car lovers! Hope Monday was good?  So, I had to change a Tyre in an emergency situation today and I encountered a problem. After unscrewing two wheel bolts from the Tyre, the third one was not coming off as the wheel spanner could not grip it. Taking a closer look, I discovered that the edges around the wheel bolt has no friction. It was almost round. It took the intervention of a vulcanizer before the bolt could be unscrewed.
My question is, incase of situations where the service of professionals cannot be reached, how can such an issue be handled? Please move to the front page for wider views.. You get a new wheel spanner or borrow another wheel spanner from a flashy car that has not been used. It will grip even a round bolt firmly if you are lucky. If that doesnt work, buy cold bottle water and pour on the bolt if it is still hot from previous driving...when the bolt is cold enough (ice block preferred) that your own wheel spanner might loose it. For me what I did was to drive home and wait till 6:30am in the morning when the bolt was very cold and my wheel spanner was able to unscrew it. Conclusion, it's a temperature game. If you cant find cold water or ice, heat from a panel beater can also do the magic. |
