I am interested in this government-backed ISAs.
Problem is, my bank (Barclays) doesn’t appear to have that service available.

Any hope for me then?

you wrong. emergency situation is brake and clutch at the same time so you dont stall the car.

you people dont know how to drive
quoting another nob skull


This is how we were thought in the UK
How do you perform an emergency stop?

Make sure to drive at a suitable speed for the road you are driving on. Mirrors are the least priority during this maneuver as they would increase your reaction time which will increase your overall stopping distance. Quick reaction time is crucial during the emergency stop.
When the examiner says “STOP”, release the gas pedal, tighten your grip on the steering wheel, brake firmly and progressively (harder than normal but do not slam on the brake pedal). Press the clutch down straight after to prevent the car from stalling. Stalling during an emergency stop will not result in a test failure, but it is good not to stall if you can help it.

nah you not reading between the lines brah. how many people can gauge what speed they have reduced to before finally downshifting apprapriately ? not many and so you are taxing the gear system. but to prevent you doing all that just disenage first by pressing clutch and then slow the car down to desired speed using brake and once you are at desired speed, then downshift approapriately and then re-engage by releasing clutch. it is the right thing to do. has always worked for me. and my gear-transmission system always functions brand new. but to each his own
very easy to measure, same as you measure braking distance, If you were in a proper driving test, You will fail if you engage the clutch B4 the brake when slowing down, this is one of the bad habits of driving we all do.If you are in a sudden brake test ie when an obstacle suddenly appears and you have to apply emergency braking , it's brake you tap not clutch!

HEAVEN4444:
brother you are wrong. the clutch is the go to first. in all speed alterations you have to clutch first so as to disenagage the engine from the gear. this will save you from destroying your gear-transmission over time.

see when you clutch first, the car is just free rolling with no gear involvement and then you can brake easily without destroying your gear system. and then when you get to the desired speed, then you can change the gear and then re-engage the engine and gear by releasing the clutch. this is how you drive effectively without getting expensive gear repair jobs down the line
WRONG

Hi Mimzy, so my wife got a reply that the card has been approved. But she still tried the card and after clicking “make payment”. The window disappears and goes back to the “entering of card details” page again. She has tried different web browsers, but still same issue. She has also sent mails to complain about the experience twice but still no response. Do you have any idea on how to go about this.

Anyone had this kind of experience?
I had this same damn problem when I was in Nigeria just now,I take it you are talking about paying for the covid jab, I had to get my friends in the Uk to ring their bloody customer service of which waiting time was up to nearly one hour!

Very USELESS, irresponsible, careless and senseless leaders.
They are always just building useless things, mostly things can easily enable them to steal money through kickbacks, and usually they give the contract to their friends and family members.

What is actually the usefulness of all these bridges/flyovers with heavily inflated budgets?

What happens to development and equipping healthcare system?
What happens to education and research.
In Nigeria today, hardly will you find government university with:
Electron microscope
NMR, etc
What happens to electricity etc that are more important?

This country is just cursed with some of the WORST leaders in the world.

Crime › US Comedian Bill Cosby's Sexual Assault Conviction Has Been Overturned By Pennsy by erico2k2(op): 7:21pm On Jun 30, 2021
US comedian Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction has been overturned by Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, paving the way for his release.

Cosby, 83, has served more than two years of a three to 10-year sentence at a state prison near Philadelphia.

He had been found guilty of drugging and molesting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand in 2004.

Cosby is best known for starring in the 1980s TV series The Cosby Show and was once known as "America's Dad".

Dozens of women had publically accused him of sexual assault, although he was only tried criminally for the incident against Andrea Constand. His conviction in 2018 was widely seen as a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement.

But now, Pennsylvania's highest court has found there was a "process violation" because Cosby had made an agreement with a previous state prosecutor that he would not be charged in the case.

However in 2015 a new prosecutor filed charges after testimony from a civil lawsuit brought by Andrea Constand against the actor was revealed.

"There is only one remedy that can completely restore Cosby to the status quo ante. He must be discharged, and any future prosecution on these particular charges must be barred", the 79-page finding reads.

In their decision, the judges also found that testimony from accusers unrelated to the case had tainted the trial.

"Cosby's convictions and judgment of sentence are vacated, and he is discharged," the court said.

Years after, how's the general performance of the car been so far, considering the numerous changes done during the conversion?
Car has been fine so far, The major challenge is getting the right Diesel as it came with a Euro 6 Engine so performance is restricted, but that does not mean it can't fire more than the average fast cars! Apart from that, I get the usuals all cars get in 9ja. Tyres are head ache

The Senior pastor of a faith-based church(Tower of Revelation Ministry) in enyimba city of Aba, Apostle Umah Udah shocked everyone on sunday when he came to church dressed like an Ohafia warlord.The man of God who hails from Akanu Ohafia is incidentally a prince too and as a way of promoting the rich culture of the African people chose to minister this past sunday dressed like a warlord.

This act has generated mixed reactions among Nigerians with many however commending the clergy for promoting the African culture while calling on other men of God and celebrities to toe the same line.

Fully supported. Why should Netflix, Uber, Air Bnb, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube etc make money from Nigeria, but not pay any tax in Nigeria!? It means so much Naira will chase dollars for them to repatriate profit, which puts pressure on dollar, which the populace then suffer from. So at least the government should make something.
Do people watch Netflix in Nigeria? with what Internet??
