Siena: If you're having to top up your cooling system even once a month...you've got a leak. If you're having to top it up daily, then you've got an even bigger leak. To sum it up, your engine's using coolant faster than it uses gasoline.

I used to maintain my mom's old Peugeot 504 GL, Ford Cortina XL and my dad's Plymouth Avenger DL. Never had to top up coolant even weekly, and these are old cars!

I would get that leak fixed.

Whao,this man is so knowledgeable and sincere, I have sworn that if i must buy a tokunbo car again, it must be from USA. Seems Siena is the man that will get the job done for me cos sincerity has always been an issue for me.

I use Corolla 2005, 1.8L and i have never had to use coolant b4. It has been water all along for me and almost all the cars around me and in my compound use water, i had to top up once in a month or so. Sienna, i will like to know, is this a knowledge gap problem or hw can we explain the preference for just water by most car owners? are some cars designed for water only? is their any long term implication of using just water?

I await your response.

Pls, is deir any need to change ATF just because u've used it for a while as a form of servicing the gear? my ATF is still full but my mechanic sed i shld do general service and change it, its Type I-IV of Toyota Corrolla 2005.

Its even written deir (ATF cap - measuring gauge) that no need to change ATF. Please advice as I am about to do general service.

What nonsense are we talking about here.

The rule should even be that

Unemployed Guy = |NO MARRIAGE. if you dont want to end your life like Titi

When you have not started, love can overwhelm you. It will only take 2 weeks after marriage plus constant love making before your eyes clear and open that you should have waited a bit for another suitor.

A guy must be employed and i mean constant pay , no matter how small. A pay they can manage and budget on. The main topic is no brainer.

Forget about all this plenty FAITH gist of 2 unemployed marrying without problem, the husband is usually a pastor and some pastor get alms and gifts that is more than what any salary can buy. So dnt be decieved.


My Cent.

Thanks bro, u don finish the talk. Most often we r blind folded by sex, sex and sex and we think thats d only reason God designed marriage. Fact is that after 1 or 2 wks of constant sex, u loose interest. Am a living example, b4 i got married, use to think its sumthin i will do everyday morning and night, now, if i manage 2 or 3 times in a whole week, i don try.

The bible records that faith without work is dead, suffice to say that it is even better to have work without faith than to have just faith without work but the best combination is to have both.

The bible equally told us that a man that will not take care of his family is worse than an infidel, how do you take care of your family without a job? infact for most churches, they wont even join you, its like both of you having AS genotype and u r still goin ahead to tempt God when you already know.

All the biblical examples of marriage indicated that the men were gainfully engaged b4 marriage was consumated, take Isaac for example. Most of them were farmers either in cattles or crops with plenty of harvests.

I married my wife when she was abt rounding off her NYSC, she is yet to get a job now and inside me am cravin for her to start doin sumthing so that she can be independent, no 1 knows tomorrow, I bless God that I am not doing badly in terms of income but she doesnt appreciate been a house wife and I dont blame her.

Our fore fathers too in dose days, they marry when a man can stand alone, gainfully engaged and have a roof over his head. Infact, I learnt you must be very strong and hardworking for you to command respect of any lady. You need not be rich, cos if you are focus and hardworking, dt will come later, but you must be doing sumthing that God can bless. If both of you are not doing anything, there is nothing for God to bless and he is not an impartial God, his law has not changed.

I will advise the guy to wait, if both of you are really in love, why not wait for another year or 2 and use ur combined faith to get a job? Tru love waits except its not genuine or u have already eaten the honey outside the moon and you now want to regularise, in dt case, God is not involved ooooo.

Well, we can only suggest and give practical experience, you will still do that which you had planned to do (experience has shown).

Why am i not moved by all these? if you like, launch another 1 with mini pressing iron, all na effizy.
Mayb when 1 comes at a cheaper rate dt will provide me with electricity when PHCN strikes, i may consider it.

Remember in the 90's when dt big satelite dish use to be the hallmark of big boyism? or that big NOKIA communicatior early 2000? Life is in phases, men are in sizes. All these buzz will go away and anoda 1 will come b4 u say Jack, so, if u nid 1 and u have the doe, go ahead, for me, i get 2 correct phones dt are serving me well, wen they are tired, i will buy another 1. Wont be using my hard earned money to be changin phone every year, i no be politicians abeg.

Appreciate good inventions, pay for the service if you have the cash but dont ever be crazy about those inventions cos they will soon fade.......

I still dey laff real hard. Guys, tot it was only me b4, av loaded my MTN last now sumtimes in Sept after MTN swept my N400 newly loaded cr and dey could not offer any xplanation. They have been deductin small small one b4 den ooo but dis was the height of it. I learnt dey av low tarriff now, I use to prefer usin my glo line to call MTN to using MTN to call MTN. Oles, barawos, opportunists, capitalists u can call dem any name but dis folks wont change. I went to deir office once and told dem if i have my way, dey will be sent back to South Africa.

If u want to watch stuffs on youtube with ur blackberry subscription, its possible to an extent with glo, zain and etisalat but with MTN, mayb in 2014 (dts d year dey told us per second billing is possible b4 glo came and made dem change deir mind).

We can keep complaining but we have the power to change things, boycott MTN and patronise other networks, mayb dey will have a re-think.

Gooday all, pls i nid help indeed. is brain box actually repairable? mine was stolen and xtra car key programming (wire bridgin by rewire) spoilt the 2nd 1 which i was told cannot be repaired. Am on the 3rd 1, luckily, dis 1 is cheaper, about 40k but seems its not the actual match and i cannot get the 1 that came with my Toyota Corolla (stolen),are all ECU programmed with their VIN I still have the 2nd damaged ECU, can it be repaired? the folks at Ladipo told me its not repairable.

Nice 1 bro, just a quick 1, is it tru that the more the number of people you carry in ur car, the more fuel u consume(based on heavy stuffs in your boot theory).
I have this ibo friend dt does not like carrying colleagues because he doesnt want to charge them and he doesnt want to waste his fuel.

I like helping people stranded at the b/stop on my way to and from work, does this have any significant cost implication on my fuel??, ur opinion pls, not that it will change my stand.......

I think best bet may be NNPC or you just buy, pray u r lucky and move on. Sum1 mentioned MRS, funny enuf, i bought at MRS 1 day and I was so imnpressed, bot 10litres in a gallon and filled my tank (Toyota Corolla) that has entered red b4 and all my bill was abt 5k. Since den i started patronisin dem, the 2nd time however, my fuel was not totally down and i stil bought 4k to fill it.
Today, i bought at an AP filling station inside Unilag thinking dt a fillin station inside an higher institution will not cheat, hw wrong i was. I bot almost 4600 to fill my tank even wen i had enough fuel in the tank.

I have had gud experience from some Mobil and Total fillin stations b4 but av come to conclusion that all of them cheats, na d degree of cheating dey pass 1 another. Connoil for me is a no go arear because dose pple can mix water with fuel if possible. The 1 at Adetola Aguda is a joke, I dont bother, will rather trek dan buy fuel from dem.

my people, the truth is that a society can not produce leaders outside its environ, I am worried by the quality of leaders we will have later in this country.
Most of us blame the current crop of politicians and claimed all of them should be killed like it happend in Ghana so that new generation can come in. What we have forgoten is that the so called technocrats and new generation politicians are products of this same country. If people like Reuben Abati, Okonjo Iweala etc are yet to make much changes, i doubt if the changes will come any time soon.

From secondary schl, I held leadership positions. My status as Faculty speaker during my university days was an eye opener. Made lots of sacrifices and had to miss so many lectures that my G.P dropped below 4.0 at the end of my yr 4. I will however not trade the experience gathered from that role to graduating with First class. I learnt then that politics is not about money and we (me and my principla officers) never for 1 day took seating allowance from the faculty like they do in other faculties.

Armed with this experience, during the NYSC days, I was voted C-in-C ofn FRSC/NYSC CD group without much opposition. I was sorrounded mostly with women as excos, just 1 male out of a 10 man exco. To my greatest surprise, during our handing over and projects, i discovered dt all my exco members did not pay for their projects contrary to leadership by example that I had always been preaching, infact, when the project was launched, I was the 1st person to pay to encourage others. I equally realised to my greatest surprise that the ladies were ready to tear me to pieces wen i refused to share the remaining money in association purse with them. They claimed that has always been the tradition and ours must not be an exception. This meeting took days oooo and to God be the glory, I did not sign a kobo out of the club's purse to be shared....... and to say that I use to think that ladies are less corrupt........(90% of these ladies are from a particular tribe of the country, ur guess is as good as mine)

The experience got me thinking, if at the NYSC levels, leaders of tomorrow are already thinking of how to share the national cake, wonder what will happen when they are saddled with leadership roles at the national level.

Even if you bring a Leopard home at teder age and tame him, d day he mistakenly tastes blood, the Leopard in him will arise and he will cause havoc startin 1st from his master and his entire family.
Dt said, go ahead and marry him if you can honestly live with this scenarios:

1. He drops you at work only for you to get upstairs, look out of the window and discover he had only drove some kilometers away and he is using binoculars to spy on you and ur entire floors.
2. You are in a party with him, u excused ursef to use d ladies round d block and you are surprised that ur hubby got their b4 you to make sure u actually headed for d ladies or even enter and hid himsef in one of the toilet just to eavedrop on your conversation should your phone ever rings or you dare call sum1
3. You discover dt he is always visiting a Dr with your childrens blood samples for DNA test to double sure and confirm that the kids are his
4. He wants you to put your fone on speakers whenever you are receiving calls at home
5. He hacked into your e-mail and saw a mail sent from chris with gud9t, hugs and kisses, c u 2mao in the office during lunch time at our usual favourite spot and b4 u kud xplain that chris is christiana and you occassionally meet over lunch in the office at a particular table, he has landed slaps or even blows on you.
6. You came home late 1 evening due to fault with your car and he locked you out asking you to go back to a non-existent guy u are having affairs with or needed to change of tyre and a dude around was about offering you help and he happend to pass by, oh my God..........

My dear, i can go on and on but the decision is clear, if you are comfy with d scenario above, HML and may ur union be fruitful

Pls give this guy a break. For all u care, your girlfriend that told u this guy want you because of ur status may just be jealous of u. Call it off today and u may see your so called friend chasing ur ex b/f.
From my experience, a guy will only reveal such a deep secret (using borrowed papers to work) to a lady he really cares about, can confide in, sum1 who he believes he has a future with and sum1 he truely loves. Take it from me Tina, most guys blive ladies cant keep a secret and will rather not tell you that kind of secret that can lead him to been deported. I am not so impressed that you have leaked dis secret on a forum lik dis, suppose this your girlfriend is really jealous of your new found love and happiness and she gets dis kind of info, ur guess is as gud as mine, ur bobo will soon land in 9ija if u dont manage this kind of info well. The guy has put his life in ur hand, pls do not abuse it.
A guy at 30 shld naturually be serious about settling down and having babies. I planned to marry at 28, i ended up marrying at 31. My wife stil laffs at me cos i met her in church, secretly got her no, called her, travelled to her schl and she kud see my intentions den. Told her my plans to get married d next yr and all she kud do was laff and tell me off but by the following year, we were engaged. I knew what i want at 28 and the fact dt i didnt have a g/f den didnt matter, i was redi and waiting for the right person to come along and trust me, dt doesnt take eternity, not even months if u trust God to lead u.
Please dont be brain washed, who says u must date a guy for 2yrs b4 marriage? U may not blive in love at 1st sight but it does happen and its not only limited to biblical days. You could date a guy for 5yrs and u'll never know him well enuf, its not the length of courtship but the qualities and character of the person and most importantly, the fear of God. People meet and get married within 6months my dear, infact, dts what most churches will prescribe to avoid pre-marital sex.
I came across a story sometimes ago, wish i kud get d link and share with u but unfortunately, dont have it now, you kud av seen what i meant.
Finally Tina, I am not an advocate for sex b4 marriage and to imagine that you were the 1 that initiated it (according to your words) when ur guy was ready to wait (till after marriage i guess)but you may call me a religious fanatics or old school guy, I dont care, I believe thats the way God designed marriage - with bed undefiled. I am not criticizing or condemning you any way, but you can always retrace ur steps, it will allow you to observe the guy and assess him objectively if you wanna marry him or not.

And if you use d brain properly, you will know that they only provided the seats on which their name is written.

Points and corrections can be made without insults. I guess its d problem with most of us in this country and dis forum is not an exception. If people dt don't lik to take insults failed to contribute on dis forum and leave the discuss to pple of like mminds lik dis poster, I wonder how this forum will be.

from wat i can see, it appears this airport is being remodelled by NPDC, just like the Warri airport is runned by Shell.
If this is correct, the glory should not go to the Minister of Aviation alone.......

If you are from the North with an insider/Godfather, even with Pass, u will enter custom.
If u like, have 1st class and be an ibo/yoruba man without an insider or political father figure, 4get it, its a cheer waste of your time.
You actually get some few things on merit in Nigeria but certaily not in Nigerian Customs as far as i know.

U guys are scarin xpectant mothers and fathers oooo.
I wish i could avoid goin to dt labour room but .........
God is great, women are just rare creatures.

"may ur day of delivery be easier than the day of conception" . . . . . . Daddy loves u babies.

Congrats to you all.
Will suggest that u guys take active part in job/vacany sections and share valuable info abt job openings with 1 another.
All the best.

This discussion has made my day. I don laff tire.
Well, wonder dey say shall never end.

In response to 1 of the queries raised on this thread, i think Lord Luggard must have drank alomo bitters mixed with Nunu or is it Nono.
But seriosly, this kind of weddin demand does not come from the North only now.
Check out what some of our Eastern chicks demand for marriage, at least their relatives.

Thank you guys,
My car has been giving me issues, am suspecting its accidented.
Please help me check the VIN - 2TIBR32E95C372071.
Thank you and God bless, my e-mail is ajayisola2002@yahoo.com

Hmmmmnnnn. I have never seen Mourinho close to tears, he surely was on this 1. Barca dimystify his legendary claim.
1 thing however must be mentioned, he has never won in Nou Camp against Barca in any competition so i wasnt that surprised but for the humiliation.
Only 1 person seems to supporting Madrid after dis thrashing and the person is a female who obviously is in love with CR7.
Well, Messi may not be as cute and as fine as CR7 but wen it comes to the round leather game, there is just 1 numero Uno, at least for now and real football fans and analyst knows that the name doesnt start with a 'C'.
Check out whoever is against the brilliant display by barca last 9t, they are either anti-beautiful football or most likely Chelsea and Mourinho's fans.
We saw the height of football last 9t, a football lecture well delivered by the almighty barca (the best team on planet earth, even though i am an Arsenal Fan) to the Madristars - the unhappy students.
I think i will agree with what my younger brother said, (a tru football fan and analyst, even though he is a Chelsea and Mourinho fan), he said  and i quote, "UEFA should please intervene and end the cheating going on in Barca, hw in heaven will a team have Xavi, Iniesta and Messi playing 2geda" they were simply out of this world last 9t.

Re: My Boyfriend Is An Atheist. I Love Him But My Family And Friends Hate Him. H

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NB: I'm glad this was posted here . . . i responded to the thread in the romance section but it is more appropriate here.

There is growing trend i have been seeing with this new form of atheism . . . it is visceral in its hatred of anything christian, sometimes violent and elicits the worst kind of dislike.

For instance, i do not believe in Sango, but i dont go foaming in the mouth at the site of sango worshippers. Notice these from the OPs boyfriend . . .


Quote
He helps people at will and takes no offence whatso ever at my excesses except i over do it to a fault and instead of getting mad at me to hit me or abuse me, he just walks away for an hour or 2 and comes back as if nothing happens.

This guy must be gold . . . doesnt sound like anything upsets him but then . . .


Quote
Anytime i come back from Church and talk about my pastor or what i was taught, he gets very angry.

This looks like an "innocent" kind of anger but is it? why is this guy calm, cool and collected about EVERYTHING else but goes crazy at the mere mention of Jesus?


Quote
He doesnt like hearing anything about pastors, churches, tithes and sermons but when you get into a biblical argument with him, its as if he knows the bible inside out and the right quotes without even reading it. He is that articulate.


Satan knows the bible too, far better than the greatest preacher on earth . . . but knowing the scriptures is completely different from living it. Seems your boyfriend knows the bible verses simply as a weapon to denigrate it.

Now to the OP. . .


Quote
There was even a day some people in my fellowship came to meet him to pray and convert him and it turned into a debate and he ended up winning the argument and making us question or faith back in a total reversal of roles.

Quite clearly . . . neither YOU nor your church members understand the bible at all.


Quote
If i go ahead with my choice to stick with him, i lose my soul and my community but gain happiness because he has truely being a wonderful man so far but if i leave him for my friends, family and community i might lose my prince charming that every woman dreams of that loves me dearly.

You ma'am will only gain temporary happiness with this man. I'm sorry but no man (nor woman) is worthy of losing my soul in hell, faith in Christ and my entire family. Your "prince charming" may be ok with you going to church now but have you ever considered what happens WHEN you eventually become his wife? Would he stand the sight of you and his kids forever hoping from church to bible study, night vigils or prayer meetings? Would you have the freedom of praying in your own bedroom? What will his reaction be when he sees you reading the bible when he wants you doing something else? I think you are forgetting something very important - a marriage where the man and woman are divided on something as major as spiritual compatibility is one headed for disaster and misery for you.

When you have problems in this marriage who will you turn to? the mother, father and pastors you despised to marry your "prince charming"? You say that you are a "strong christian" but NO WHERE in your write-up did i read about you asking God if this man is truly His choice for you. You seem to be carried along by your infatuation for this man. . .

It is said that no matter how rich a young man is, he can never have as many rags as an old man. Your parents love you more than you think, you may be an adult and able to make your own decisions . . . but i'd be wary to marry someone my parents have deep reservations for.

Good luck to you



I am so impressed with David. I brot dis issue up in the office and i thing dis guy spoke our Minds.
Beware of wolf in sheep's clothing my dear.
True, being 9ice, humble, caring, gentle, soft spoken and kind-hearted has nothing to do with religion, but then, wat has light got t do wt darkness?. I xpect that if u were a tru xtian, u wil know beta but unfortunately, it seems u r just 1 of the regular church goers.

hmmmnn. Why it is worthy of note to look at the figures in absolute values, one must not forget the notes to the a/c. Zenith Bank has to declare about N40bn as non performin loans and made tax payments of about N14B to the government. If you check their gross earnings and PBT, it is the highest in the industry. Lets wait till next year wen the tru picture wil be revealed. GTB can rival and compete wit Zenith in terms of service but definately not in terms of size and profit.

hmmmmmm. This is a very interesting topic. I av had d opportunity of askin ladies dis question on countless occassions. The answers i av gotten so far are dsame. Even my girlfriend share d popular opinion that Men should be resposnible for everything. The oda question i kip askin dem is wat dey wil do wit deir own money. Answers such as gold, jewelries, shoes, cloths kip comin up. My question now is, are there no more to ladies dan cloths, shoes, jewelries etc. I wonder where d ladies of nowadays get d mentally of 'milkin d man dry' from. I grew up in a very remote town of ondo. While growin up, i know of a family where d family responsibilities were jointly bore by both the man and his wife. While the man takes care of d schl fees, rent and oda major exps, d wife takes care of anythin food and cloths. This does not however means dt where a partner is unable to carry his/her responsibilities, d oda party cannot help out. Suffice to say dt dis sort of arrangements depends on understandin btw d couples.
I wil however want to get marry to a woman wu can help out in our home. A woman i can call on wen such need arise. I wil not mind a joint a/c idea but dis wil surely depend on d lady.

This is tough my dear. Guys, especially the players believe in persistence. Guys always claim that wit persistence, any lady wil bulge. The believe is that a lady has a fish brain and wit constant presence, care, gifts, attentions etc a lady wil shift her ground. Moreso, if her boyfrnd is not doing enof of all that.
My advice for you is to use the ignoring tactics. Treat him as if he doesnt exist. He went dis far cos u'v given him enof attention. Never pick his calls again, if he hides his name, hang up wen u hear his voice, dont reply his txt mssgs, dont do more dan grit him and never say more dan hi wen u see him.
He'll feel insuted and leave u in a matter of weeks. Please stick to ur boyfriend, else u mite live to regret givin him a chance and leavin ur b/f.
My babe is also goin tru dis cos we r far apart but we tokd seiously and i believe she i on top of things now, i trust her.
Ladies tend to be fragile and without d guidance of a man or sum1 mor matured, they cud make wrong decisions easily.
wish u the very best.
