Health / Re: How Do I Get Rid Of Black Spots caused by pimples? by lond07: 4:04pm On Dec 18, 2020
NuclearHead:
Good day nairalanders, I have been wondering how to get rid of the black spots on my face ,it's not that much ...but it's still a black spot , how did you get rid of yours to get your perfect skin without any blemish ?

You can research on Turmeric face mask. Loads of videos on youtube for you. But they all come down to the mixture below:

1. Turmeric powder
2. Honey
3. Lime
4. Yoghurt or milk

Mix as 2 tablespoon full of each. If it is too thick you can add more lime or little water to make it pasty like your normal toothpaste. Apply to your face and wash it off with warm water after 30min. Thereafter you may apply your preferred face cream. I will also suggest you keep in your refrigerator if any unused to preserve its efficacy.

It can be a bit messy with Turmeric, so ensure the top you have on you is not your favourite dress grin

In my own case, I was spending on average £40 for several months on products that did not work until a friend told me about Turmeric face mask. I started noticing changes after 2 weeks and now they are largely faded.

All the best

For those shouting Wwitch hunt and Persecution of PDP members


Constitution as amended in 1999 states every new administration must probe the previous one , that is unnegotiable , Unfortunately PDP and their padi padi government failed to do that


Secondly , this has happened before ,

What!? You mean you have forgotten? Then, let me refresh your memory. You see, exactly 2 years ago, on June 20th 2014, our own EFCC froze Murtala Inyako's account. He was, at the time, still sitting as the governor of Adamawa State. He had immunity too.

The government of the day argued, that his account must be frozen so that proper investigation can be carried out, and so that he will not be sble to move monies that were supposedly belonging to that poor state out of the account. In fact, I made two posts supporting that government, for going after the man's account through EFCC.

That account is still locked down till today. Baba Nyako was (still is) unable to access that account. In fact, the next ruling for the care to de-freeze of Baba Mai Mangoro's account will be tomorrow, June 22, 2016; exactly 2 years and 1 day. Let Fayose go to court and get his bank account de-frozen. He needs the money like plant needs water. I heard "he is not a barawo". We don't want him to go hungry. Do we?

Oh, so you remember? Then if you want to criticize this government, please do. But don't say, "This is the only government that is witch-hunting opposition". I didn't see that one as witch-hunt. I'll not see this one as so. There was precedent in this 16 year old democracy, set by PDP in 2014.

You can even pretend to care so much about values by saying, "But two wrongs don't make no right". But please, do not insult our memory and intelligence by saying, "This is the first time...". It is not. And stop saying "We are drifting towards dictatorship" because of this case, when for the same reason we didn't in 2014.

Oh, you mean you don't even know? Okay, now you do. Don't you think he deserved fair hearing too? Oh, you know but don't give a damn because he is not a member of PDP? okay, may God save us from you. But I don't like your double-standard. I supported it in 2014. I'm supporting it in 2016. TonyeBarcanista, Omenka kindly state your views

I think you must be generous to say 80% know nothing about the traffic/highway codes. I would say 97%. And that is because there is no assessment of any form before the authorities issued driving licenses. Not even a check on the physical or mental ability. No wonder there will always be high rates of avoidable mishaps on the roads.

Read the bolded it says after 5 years inspect your tyres it did not day change them..This is the point I'm steering us to. If U live in the UK and drive. U will never fail MOT if ur tyres are 8 yrs old but U will if you have less than legal limits of thread.

The MOT advisory to me is not about the thread or the age. But a crack line they noticed on the tyre which they showed me and that coupled with the age (6 years) was a cause for concern.

So your thread may be within legal limit and age less than whatever. But if there is a crack on the tyre and you ignored it....... You can deduce the rest.

Did you check your thread and the depth of ware? ?The MOT guys must av checked your markers. Have U ever come across those highway patrol teams? They will check your markers and the depth of ur thread
But how would U manage to use one tyre for up to 6yrs in the UK grin grin are you kidding me? ??
Make we see the pic of your tyre thread plz

I will not agree the MOT centers are after their own profits because I am not bound to buy the tyres from them. And yes I make bold to say my tyres are 6 years old. The car is not for everyday runs (mileage is just 17440 as at yesterday)These where the tyres that came with the car from the factory. I will take pic and upload later so you can confirm this. (Not with the car at this moment).

You see, the point I was making is I was not comfortable with the age of the tyres no matter what the thread level is. And the moment there where concerns one way or the other on them, that sealed their fate. I know what I am capable of doing when on motor way and for that singular reason, will not play baba ijebu on my life and my passengers.

Bro this is from a blog by a coy that make mo ey off replacing tyres. We should stick to the website and advice from tyre manufacturers for now this is a blogs has no research nd are of personal opinion of the persons publishing it.it ain't binding

Well, below is an excerpt from Michelin Tyres website:

How old is too old? The five year test
After five years or more in service, your tyres should be thoroughly inspected at least once per year. If the need arises, follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer regarding replacing the original equipment tyres. As a precaution, if the tyres have not been replaced 10 years from their date of manufacture (see how to read a tyre sidewall), Michelin recommends replacing them with new tyres. Even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down to the tread wear indicator.


Source: http://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/learn-share/buying-guide/when-should-i-change-my-tyres.

However, that said. This is my own experience just today. I did MOT on my car last week and the MOT centre recommended that 3 of my tyres are six years old; that I should plan to change one of them particularly, claiming that this one was already showing a crack - (sign of ageing); that the other 2 are still okay till next MOT.

I took the car to Toyota Authorized car service center today for annual service and waiting for them to do their own assessment. To my surprise they said the 2 front tyres are due for replacement but the condemned 1 by the MOT center is still okay till the next service.

Confused. So I asked them to do a second assessment which they happily did but came back with same result. But at this point, I had to use my own judgement to replace the three. (the fourth was relatively new because I bought that one last year). It's all about my own safety and my passengers. But I was puzzled that these two centres were giving conflicting results.

Hope the information below will be of help.

Source : http://www.hometyre.co.uk/mobile-tyre-fitting/mobile-tyre-fitting-sussex/blog/do-tyres-have-a-shelf-life/

Do tyres have a shelf life?

Since the 1980's tyres have had a date stamp added to the side walls so that you can see how old they are.

During the 80's it was a 3 digit code giving the week number and year of manufacture. So 218 would equal week 21 in 1988, when we got to the 90's to differentiate they added a triangle to the 3 digits, so 218 (followed by a triangle) would represent week 21 in 1998. It became easier to remember from the year 2000 when a four digit code was used, so 2108 would represent week 21 in 2008.

The service life of a tyre is usually measured by the amount of tread remaining; in the UK the legal limit is 1.6mm over ¾ of the tread all around the circumference. But we should also be looking at the date code as oxidisation is also a serious concern, and since tyres are made of rubber they degrade with age.

Most consumers in the UK do not know that the date code exists, a survey in 2006 showed that only 4% of drivers realised that tyres becomes more dangerous as they age. A large body of scientific evidence supports, that most tyres should be replaced six years from the date they were manufactured. This six year expiration date begins from the day the tyre was made, not from the day it was sold and fitted to a vehicle.

Tyres age dangerously because a chemical process commonly referred to as oxidisation occurs, this simply means that a tyres components are exposed to oxygen, the oxygen particles cause the flexible components of the tyre to harden and become brittle. Over time, the tyre will fall apart under normal stress, just like an old rubber band. Because this process occurs naturally, it doesn't matter if a tyre is being used, stored as a spare, or waiting on a shelf in a tyre depot, the breakdown process has started from day one.

How old is too old? This is a subject of much debate within the tyre industry and no tyre expert can tell exactly how long a tyre will last. The results of experience of many tyre manufacturing companies including Bridgestone, warrant their tyres for 5 years from date of manufacture. Based on these understandings many vehicle manufacturers are now advising their customers to replace their tyres after 6 years, regardless of tread depth remaining.

Regardless of their age any tyre should be replaced if it shows significant signs of crazing, or cracking within the tread grooves or on the sidewalls, or if there is any sign of bulging on the tread face or sidewalls. All tyres should be inspected on a regular basis, do not wait for a yearly MOT or something to fail. If in doubt about a tyres suitability please consult your local Hometyre representative we will gladly advise you.

There are a number of organisations that are calling for an expiration date to be stamped on tyres, but until then the onus is down to you the consumer.

This is also one of the reasons that we at Hometyre are against part worn tyres, as most of these are either accident recovered tyres where the internal structural damage is not known, or some are up to 15 years old, have become brittle and dangerous, but without any laws in the UK regarding age, the part worn sellers can fit anything to your vehicle.tyre cracked Photo shows a crack around the edge of a tyre.

Webmasters / Re: What Is Work Of Website Designer And Website Developer? by lond07: 5:20pm On Apr 24, 2016
It is amusing to read different ways people tried to define who is a developer and who is a designer.

Originally, a designer has no business with coding on the front end (FE) using any of the FE technologies/tools i,e, html, javascript, css etc. A designer does what his role says he does - he designs, using Photoshop, wire frame etc. More like a prototype building. Then a developer translates this prototype into efficient and functional codes using the FE tech. and tools mentioned earlier. In fact, here in the UK, many institutions have further separated the roles of a developer to a Developer and a Front End developer. The FE developers are not designers, but they take the design (prototype) from the designers and do the FE development. The developers, or if you like, you can call them backend developers, then do the server side stuff.

But in recent years, there has been overlapping of roles and that is where most of the posts above got it wrong. Yes, a designer may go out of his traditional role to learn FE tech & tools and in fact do some front end codes that got deployed into production environment and a developer may do both backend and FE stuffs.

Interestingly, I have found myself on all sides of the divide. I have been to where I needed to build and support end to end. I have also been to where I was concerned with FE only. But currently, I do both backend server code and FE codes but I must work with oracle developers who handle database codes/scripts (stored proc., functions etc). So my backend role has been further separated. The Oracle developers handle all repository interactions exposing their stored procs. and functions to me to use. I do backend .Net codes as well as front end html, javascript css codes. The designer provides me with the prototype. That is the way it works.

So, even though there has been an overlapping of a designer and FE developer roles, they are intrinsically not the same.

lonelydora:
This is one of the reasons my children will school outside Nigeria. Even Nigerian private schools, I don't want.

God please visit Nigeria as soon as possible.

You made me laugh in vernacular grin grin grin

The reality is it happens everywhere. I went to university abroad and was a victim. I missed finishing as First Class student by 0.2. I got a total of 69.48%. Going by the school regulation, any mark from 69.50 will be rounded up to 70 and awarded 1st class. So you can imagine my pain that I missed 1st class because a randy lecturer was determined to take a revenge on me while I was innocent.

It happened that he has been harassing a fellow female student who happened to be a friend. This lecturer imagined we were in a relationship and reasoned that I was the reason why this lady did not agree to sleep with him. In fact he offered to pay the hotel bills but this lady would not give in. All along she never mentioned it to me that this lecturer was tormenting her until when we all finished. Then she revealed all, including this randy guy groping her on one occasion. She said I must have noticed, despite the fact that I was very good in his course, he was always hostile to me. She mentioned a couple of fellow female students who confided in her that they had to do his bidding before they could pass.

It was a long story, but that says it all, that it happens abroad.

In Nigeria, the max sentence for such is 7 year jail term with no option of fine. She can take the case to anywhere, she was quilty and she will be punished.
In a sane clime, nobody will call her again for any role in a movie. She ran away after killing somebody, she cared more about her career rather than a dead breadwinner, son to an old parent etc. Each time this issue is discussed, I feel miffed and disappointed. But then, there is a bit of Fiberesima Ibinabo in every Nigerians. We have lost our value system that an artist believes she is better and more important than a medical doctor. No wonder a bread seller is esteemed more than a graduate that scored 5.00 CGPA.

Honestly, I won't believe this rape case until proven in a court of law.

NAIJA girls are "deadlier" than snakes even a 16yrs old.

I have a close friend who was once set up for rape by a girl after they had a good session in bed.

I was surprised to hear that because as mischievous undergraduates, we gave ourselves view of such actions of which the guy did. We watched the whole action from the first minute to the end but if you see the way that girl was telling the story and crying, one would easily believe her. Some girls are evil so guys beware. angry

I felt compelled to respond to this post. If you have any reservation to believe the poor girl, then maintaining silence until proven is a wise course to take. Your post only "damages" the victim more emotionally. Cases of set up or lies do not imply all are lies. I sympathise with the girl but I will remain silent until all the facts are made available to the public.

I am only interested in what is good for Nigeria. While PMB has his reasons for tarrying with the ministerial nominations, any objective Nigerian knows that this delay is causing serious problems for our country.

Instead of facing the issues, we Nigerians have formed a very bad habit of defending a position by all means possible irrespective of whether that position is right or wrong.

The issue here is that ministers have not been nominated and this is causing problems. So how does this thread help in solving the problem?

It is quite clear that PMB was not entirely correct with his statement, but the question is why are we Nigerians arguing over a statement when we should rather be trying to assist the present administration in solving the many issues facing Nigeria.

The holy book of Christians say otherwise. The Bible posits that the earth is about 6,000 years old.

So are you gonna believe what the Bible says by faith or are you gonna belief what science has proved so clearly, by evidence.

I think there is a mix up here. The human history can be traced backward back to 6000 years ago. But the age of the Earth is obviously much longer.
