RomanceMy Landlady Issued Me A Quit Notice For Hosting A Female Friend by ForG(op):
I moved into this apartment about two weeks ago. Mini flat, only myself, excellent neighbourhood; I'm constantly indoors and not social.

But the landlady has been a pest so far.

The property has three tenants, but only one has been there for over a year.
The renter I replaced still works for her today, but quit the house only after a year.

The longest-tenured tenant (five years, married man with kids) warned me about her before I moved in. That she meddled in the affairs of her tenants. He is also desperate to leave the house this year.

Under the pretext of protection, she herself told me that she routinely informs her tenants' families of every move they make.

Today, the camel's back broke.

A female acquaintance of mine recently stayed with me for some days.
The landlady took offence and informed me that she does not want any female visitors except a known girlfriend.

Before relocating, she had also said that she did not want much male visitors in order to avoid disruptive behaviour. Made sense to me security-wise.
Wasn't a problem since I don't have male friends.

The next day, I saw her and informed her that an animal was running in the roof, as well as other anomalies I had noticed in the apartment.
She said that it seemed I was dissatisfied with the home and that she would provide a full refund without delay.

I made certain to inquire whether the prohibition on female visitors was on security grounds, but she said that the residence was a Christian home where everyone must be family, notwithstanding the fact that the tenant before me was a muslim.

Today, my agent came on my door and informed me that the landlady had complained to him. We subsequently met with the landlady, who once again threatened a complete refund.
She continued by saying that I am too young to have female companions because they would destroy my life.

I'm 23.

This evening I took the decision to collect the refund, cut my losses on the agreement and commission, and look for a new flat in the vicinity.

I had only heard rumours, but I had no idea such toxic home owners exist. The husband of over 33 years is pretty laid-back and even made a joke about my bringing a female acquaintance around to my guarantor.

The wife on the other hand is hell's fury.

Buy TV guard!! And let every appliance pass through the TV guard.
How about the generator? Won't the high voltage damage it?
FamilyRe: All My Appliances Are Blowing Up (PIC) Please Help. by ForG(op): 11:38am On Mar 26, 2023
kevoh:
Our standard voltage in Nigeria is 220 V at 50 Hz. Lesser voltage means lesser current running through Ur appliance(bulb burns dimly) and higher voltage means higher current (bulb burns brightly and burst if too much)

Problem is the choke is meant to regulate air inflow so that the rich fuel+air mixture burns properly when cool till the engine is warm, then it has to be returned. i.e more fuel needed when you start the gen. My best guess is that not returning the choke to normal position will only let your fuel burn fast, aside that, I can't think of any other harm that may arise.
Can't agree any more on this. Spot on.

Nairalanders, please I need your advice on what to do. I got admission to CSUCI in November 2022 for Spring January 2023 and the amount required for F-1 visa was $35200, which was N4900000 but i had N16,000000 in my account then, when a dollar was N422. But I didn't get early appointment time. I was given August but now my date has been rescheduled to April 20 of this year and when the school sent another i-20 form to me, they used the old account statement I sent to them in December 2022. Dollar rates now fluctuates between N460-N462, which will make the $35200 to be around N16270000. My question is should I take the old account balance to the embassy or do I need to print a new one to meet up with the current dollar rates? Thanks nairalanders in advance
Where dey see this cheap dollar rate?

Even that screw you are looking for to tighten will disappoint you. If you can save, save up to buy a better TEC gen or any gen with in-built stabilizer.
Just sold my big gen for this.

FamilyRe: All My Appliances Are Blowing Up (PIC) Please Help. by ForG(op): 7:10am On Mar 26, 2023
kevoh:
This gen does not have an inbuilt voltage regulator! A voltage regulator is what we call stabilizer in layman's language. It helps to keep the fluctuating power under normal voltage and your appliances working under normal voltage. Without it, sudden high voltages from your gen will damage your appliances. And trust me this "I-pass-my-neighbour" is a master of producing fluctuations from very high to low.

Even that screw you are looking for to tighten will disappoint you. If you can save, save up to buy a better TEC gen or any gen with in-built stabilizer.

If you don't have money to save for a better gen with voltage regulator, try balancing your load when you put on the gen. You do this by running ceiling fan, 100 watts bulb or any appliances that consume power. Do this first before rushing to plug laptop or phone chargers! Never plug your low wattage appliances first to your I-pass-my-neighbour gen!
Just got the gen yesterday, can't get new one because we have no light where I stay.
I need a gen I could run for hours on just fan and laptop.

What I did it was to run it at low choke until the voltmeter settled at 100V-150V.

On full choke the, voltmeter was reading above 300V.

Does this solve this?

Please help.
I just got this used generator - Birla Yamaha, and it keeps blowing up several appliances.

Extension, chargers all burnt.

The power it delivers is so great that the bulbs and fan runs at higher brightness and speed than even PHCN electricity.

I know the problem of the gen is too high frequency by the previous owner. By tightening a certain screw.

However I don't know where to find this screw and loosen on this particular gen.

Why not call a generator guy(artisan) to come adjust it for you. You can give him small amount(negotiate this before he touches the gen)
The mechanic guy tried selling me a generator but I rejected and went to buy from another seller.
He might try to damage something else to prove a point to me.
Just relocated here so yet to find another mechanic.
Also he's not available Sunday.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Share Your Nasty Experience With Rats by ForG(m): 3:50pm On Mar 10, 2023
We had rats in my former apartment.

Big rats that played hide and seek across the roof.
Rats that opened your pot, selected the best fish and closed it.
Rats that climbed you bed to smell your feet and undies.

I haven't seen one in two years.

Good Afternoon

The light in my new area is very inconsistent, so I want to get a battery that can save the power for whenever I want to use.

Is all I need just a battery and inverter?

Powers just 90w fridge, 50w fan.

FamilyFALSE: I Just Discovered The Most Efficient Way To Save Fuel In Generator by ForG(op): 7:29am On Mar 10, 2023
On several official websites, it is reported that partially opening the fuel valve has no effect on petrol usage.

https://www.nairaland.com/6641394/does-keeping-generator-fuel-tap

This made sense since engineers claim that the carburetor determines fuel consumption based on load.

Therefore I decided to verify this claim's accuracy.
Before starting my generator, I opened the fuel valve for 15 minutes with the generator switched off.

Even though a considerable quantity of petrol had already poured into the carburetor, the generator turned on but died instantly.

However, as soon as I opened the fuel valve, the generator started up and ran smoothly. This indicated to me that the fuel valve, not the carburetor, was responsible for gasoline use.

To further demonstrate my concept, I partially opened the fuel valve and observed that my 2.5KVA generator operating on a refrigerator and several home appliances used far less fuel than usual.

In my opinion, halfway opening of fuel valve saves fuel significantly.

FamilyRe: My Husband Disgraces Me Publicly by ForG(m): 8:39pm On Mar 05, 2023
Forbrok:
Me and my husband dated for 3 years before I got pregnant for him. My son will be 3 years this year. This man doesn’t respect me at all, he disgraces me publicly, complains about everything I do, always says the house is dirty even if I just cleaned the house, he will still complain about it. He cheats on me a lot, I don’t know his phone password, he has s_x with my friends and street sisters but I endure everything because of my child. [/url]
The bolded is false.
The aggrieved stays in the marriage because she is financially dead without the husband.

Give her 300k, and she leaves the toxicity.

That's why a woman should never settle for being a homemaker or housewife. Insist on working.
