Localamos: You are simply a loud mouth that lacks the caution to think before talking.

Lives are trapped within the rubbles, and all that can come out of that trash you call mouth is just junk? Pls shut up if you lack a decent thing to say.

ROSSIKE: My brother don't mind these people, many of whom have never stepped out of Nigeria so think everywhere else on earth is paradise. I used to live in Washington DC a few years ago. Yes the US capital. If you venture near southeast Washington DC you will regret your life. Even to come out of the place alive you'll be thanking your lucky stars.

Try and think out of the box, i everything we do in life, there is always a better way of doing it, thats where scince comes into play.In the Uk they have graduate scheams where they absorbed anyone with first degree and train them to do anything else so that they get employed and paid,thats why they have somoen who studied Economics to be the head of the NHS

Christianity Etc › Re: What Type Of girls will You Approve Your Sons To Marry by erico2k2(m): 9:06pm On Nov 27, 2012
frosbel: Girl A. If your Son came back home with a girl who wore a mini skirt , bosoms hanging out, with layers and layers of make up, will you honestly approve of the relationship or marriage.

Or


Girl B . If your Son came back home with a girl who dressed all covered up , quiet, respectful and almost shy-like in attitude, will you consider her too out of date for your Son.


Suppose Girl A is more sweet , kind hearted and loving than Girl B , would you not rather try to speak to her with respect and love , so that she might consider her outward appearance or would you write her off almost immediately.

Suppose girl B is really a demon in full head gear and long dress, how would you know ? Surely this is not a pre-requisite for approving their relationship, no ?


I am trying to be balanced here.


Let me know your thoughts.
what gives the parents the right to judge whom their son brings back for marriage, all they have to do is trust teh judgement of their son and give him thier blessing and appreciate his happyness.So in the near future if it gies well thank God if it goes pear shape well he made that choice,Interupting parents are nightmare.

You dont have the right whatsover to approve who your SON has to marry why judge whom he deems fit to be his wife? all you have to do is appreciate his happyness and give him your blessing if its good for him thank God if it goes pear shape he has himself to blame and no one else,I hate interupting parents.

xtivin: my T.C97,is automatic,whyl on motion take it to neutral,switch ur engine off,to re-engage-startd d vehicle in d same neautral and shift to drive...it makes it more easier dan the manual gear system....it saves fuel alot but done wit care,coz wit tym ur brake will be hard nd sterrin too,just be prepared to adjust weneva u do it.......in hold up,switch ur car off dats if u av confidence in ur vehicle
So guy you mean say you Atomatic car would start in teh N-position and not the P ?? huh huh huh
Car Talk › Re: Does Driving In Neutral Gear Save Fuel ? by erico2k2(m): 2:33pm On Nov 27, 2012
ba7man: New cars now include a system that allows the clutch plate disconnect from the engine when u lift off the accelerator to avoid engine breaking which slows the car down. This allows you coast in the car which is the "Freeing" that's bin done for so long over here.
I get that but when you say over here where are you talking about and moreso are we talking manual or Auto cars here?
Car Talk › Re: Does Driving In Neutral Gear Save Fuel ? by erico2k2(m):
ZIM DRILL: you dont know the difference between the car in neutral and a car that has been switched off


a car that has been switched off is hard to control becoz the steering would be back into manual and so are the brakes

but a car in neutral all the things will be working expect that the gears are not engaged
guy stop spewing ur ignorance online,U aint got a clue how machines work then, check what Engine breaking means then come back on here.You dont realise proff drivers value this .

[quote author=Man_51ut]what's that then?

i agree that by the definition we might not be racist, but your argument is that basically we're not racist, because we don't have anyone to be racist too. racist comments have been made on this thread and loads of people have co-signed them.[/quote]you r missing the point bro, when we say some people in UK are racist we meant them ones that live in the UK, so when I said Nigerians are not racist in Nigeria, Im right in saying so as we are all one race in Nigeria however I have hardly seen anyone in Nigeria who come accross someone of diff race in Nigeria who behave or allow thier emotional mind come first.

Sorry to bother you, just want to find out after winning your appeal how long did it take the Embassy to issue you a visa? Because mine is settlement Visa, refused on the ground of No evidence of Contact. Was refused mid October, put in an appeal 1st of November, this is why I ask you this question, just to know the time frame. Also were you ask to come along with a new statement of account or any other documents. Please when you've got time kindly furnish me with the answers just to get prepared in case I am called. Thank you for your time. Take care, And stay blessed.
I can understand ur fustration believe me,I have been in that water B4, I recon Im responding to you for the V first time,it took them 2 months but thats after my sponsor threaten to write to her MP, for some people it could take up till 6 months.I can confidently tell you that your hubby is right,once they have acknowledged the recipt of your appeal there is nothing much you can do to efect the speed unless your circumstances chnges drasticaly till then it would be until they make a decission.Hope you are doing all this fru a good lawyer cos settlement VISA is a tricky one.

Car Talk › Re: How To Avoid Buying A Flooded Car From The US? by erico2k2(m): 7:46am On Nov 27, 2012
chucky234: TIPS:-
1. Assess the damage. Before you
attempt any type of repair, see
how bad the damage is. If the
damage is going to cost more
than the total worth of the car,
then it is not salvageable.
2. Start by fixing the engine. This is
the main concern with a flood-
damaged vehicle. If there is water
in the engine, then you should
not drive it. Instead, have it towed
to an engine repair shop.
3. Drain the transmission and oil
pans of the flood damaged car.
Once they have been drained, you
can replace the oil and
transmission fluid.
4. Allow the brake system to be
dried and inspected. Brake fluid
also needs to be replaced.
5. Give the interior of the car time to
dry out. It is likely that a mildew
smell will linger once it has dried.
In this case, take the car to an
upholstery repair shop. They can
rip out the old material, dry it out
and replace it.
Brov, Im in this boat, my friend helped me to buy a 2003 Jeep liberty, car was at the port of NJ when the storm strock, now there was an Email by grimaldi saying the cars should be removed as a result of flood damage, they dont want to start the cars in the port but the shipping agent is offering them to go on a container like that at no xtra cost, they also said for them to load the car into RORO its gona cost aditional $250 embarassed, now Im stuck in decision, i think Im just gonna ask them to load it unto ROr and follow the steps you said above, waht do you recon?

My children are citizens and are here with me - one of them is in Primary school- My hubby who is a British citizen too is not based here.

Will my hubby not working here affect my application in any way? Just so you know my Student Visa will expire in January 2011.
Apply with the help of a good lawyer, there is something called Discretionary leave to remain.They might do this if present laws cannot accomodate your circumstances as you got kids of school age.
