Autos › Re: How To Quickly Stop Your Car When The Brake Fails by lonelydora: 9:53pm On Oct 01, 2023
In an automatic gear, just remove your leg from the accelerator (throttle) while the gear is in "Drive"..... the "engine braking" will slow the car down.

In a manual gear, take the car to gear 1 and leave it there.

I have heard people say "put the gear in Neutral". Don't do this, please.

In all of these, steer the vehicle by concentrating on the road and look for a barrier (like road median or tree) and face the vehicle to.

Since their mother was not around and the kids have not been found, who told the story of the #50 soya milk and looking for change?

If there was an adult in the house that knew this story, why did he/her allow those kids to follow the woman?
Events › Re: What Happened At My First Burial Job As A Photographer. by lonelydora: 1:57pm On Sep 26, 2023

DISCLAIMER : READ THIS AT NIGHT FOR MAXIMUM ENJOYMENT! grin wink


  The year was 2014 and I have just been hired to cover a christian burial ceremony in Ibadan where I was based. It was my first burial job, so, it was a big deal. I was not in the least nervous because I have attended burials and seen dead bodies before. Little did I know that I was in for an experience. A typical Nigerian christian burial ceremony usually has lined up activities like the wake, the service of songs, lying in state, etc. My experience happened shortly after the wake. The wake is usually conducted around the early evening time of the day. The coffin containing the “papa or mama” will be laid in a decorated room and people will come to pay their respect. This is called the lying in state. The arrangement was the same at this burial. The deceased was a bit popular in the area and this resulted in a large turnout. I was not able to take some essential and important shots because of the crowd, so, I had to patiently wait. It was around some minutes to 7pm when I finally had my chance to take pictures as most of the guests had left by then. I got into the room, left the door opened, turned on my reliable nikon d40x and started taking my own “essential shots” of the decorations, the coffin alone, etc. and then it happened!
Guy, you funny die. grin grin

Crime › Re: DSS Operative Reportedly Kills Fashion Designer In Abuja by lonelydora: 7:02am On Sep 08, 2023
Na wa o

This should have been a police case na.

There's a big problem with Nigerian security personnel. Once they have gun, they think themselves as demigods.

Also, that Tavor series gun DSS (I also see some NAVY officer with it too) use should be handled carefully. It's not a gun to threaten someone with, because it discharges at the slightest trigger.

God will continue to punish Muhammadu Buhari wherever he is. He brought all these nonsense upon Nigeria

This is the Mistake JayJay Okocha and Odion Ighalo made.

Good afternoon nairalander, pls in my apartment, the bore hole is sunk besides the soakaway and now the soakaway is full, and the water is usually coming out especially during the raining season. I want to ask that is it safe to drink the water. Though we have been drinking it since I got there around 2019 but now the soakaway is full and the caretaker has refused to do the needfull
Whether the Soakaway is full or not, don't drink that water, even after evacuation.

As a full Pitakwa guy, there's nothing beautiful about PH. The only road in PH is Aba road, which is even a 2-lane road.

But truth be told, driving in PH has become easier after all the overhead bridges (not flyover) Wike built.

Education › Re: Stop Sending Your Children For Holiday Lessons by lonelydora: 1:07pm On Aug 21, 2023
Oduok:
Sending kids to holiday lessons makes no sense.

Most of you will make your kids go to school till they become useless. You took them to school at age 3 and abandon them there. During long vacation you still send them to school. To do what?

Can't you spend time to bond with your kids? What exactly are they going to achieve in school during vacation? Vacation lesson only favour school owners, not you. Allow kids rest for God's sake.

If you should engage kids during long vacation then teach them skills. Enrol your kids in centres that they can learn practical computer usage, coding, programming, painting and decoration, catering, musical instruments. Let them learn martial art, how to shot guns, how to wrestle. Teach them something beyond pure academics.

If a school should organize long vacation class then it should gear towards extra curricula activities - debate, modelling, music concert, science fair, mini project. How would you call kids back to school during holiday to learn Math, English, Chemistry, Social studies, accounting, by same teachers that taught them during school period. What is the difference? If these teachers knew what to teach why didn't they do it during normal school session.

Education is beyond memorizing facts. Give your kids opportunity to develop and be better prepare for life.
