GAZZUZZ:
you currently have a clogged transmission strainer.

Clean/replace and car will work fine.

BUT

You have bits of metal filings blocking strainer presently.

Gear will continue to fail at intervals.

Each time you clean strainer it will work.

Replace gear.

Find out what is killing present one (possibly engine ecu fault)

Hmm.....clogged transmission strainer. I just got the entire gearbox exactly a year ago.

Or could it be because I drove through a thick flood earlier this week.

Thanks a lot.

If not the usual transmission issue on this ride. Look out for a binding brake

Oh thanks; I will check that out.

I tire o because the thing weak me. Village people indeed.

mayor2013:
How do you expect us to know the said car?

my apology.missed that out.It's RAV4 2002.

Hello Auto gurus;

Please, I started my car (automatic transmission) this morning, engaged the gear which responded successfully but the car remained immobile (feelings like an obstacle in front of the tires) despite revving up engine.

Gear oil has got no problem.

What could be responsible?

Thanks in advance.

This part of your story is too vague to agree with you that your home is collapsing. There is surely more to this.

However, I would like to remind you that the family that PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER. Also, CAN TWO WORK TOGETHER EXCEPT THEY AGREE?

Your wife's prayer style should NEVER BE a reason for any collapse in your home.

My Recommendation:
1. Keep talking to her about it. Study the scriptures together and you show her the part where it was said that her prayer style is not appropriate for God's children.
2. Keep praying for her SECRETLY so that God can give her understanding on the appropriate prayer styles.
3. Don't let her prayer style interfere with your role as a Husband and Father.
4. Be patient. Marriage is for better, for worse forever but if you apply the above three, everything will be fine.

Remember you are the Captain of your family (ship). If you allow your anger to get the best of you and walk away, the (family) ship will capsize drowning your wife and daughter. Of Course, you'll definitely regret this and give account to God for the family he gave you.

MY RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED ON THE BIT YOU HAVE TOLD US.

Your family is blessed.

Engr Honmusa, looking forward to checking you out soon.

I sincerely hope you work on 02 cars.

nurey:
There are alot of things that can cause that. You can meet honmusa @ gbagada to help you diagnose it, he is on Nairaland

Engr Honmusa,

Please, if you are seeing this, your expert advice is humbly requested here.

erico2k2:
well 1st and foremost, where does teh noise come from?
Front or Rear,?
Driver or Passenger side?
Suspensions are far more delicate than we think even fitting new ones might still create noise.
Reason vast majority of Mechanics dont know the Torque specification or just dont own a torque wrench.
Some dont even know at what height to torque the suspension.
YOu can check few things yourself if you can afford to get your hands dirty for one hour.
Check your upper and lower control arms by shaking your tyres at the 9 &3 O'clock positions.

The noise comes from the front by driver's side.

One of the first things I did when i first discovered the noise was was the 9&3/12&6 o'clock tyre shaking position. There was no movement in either direction. I guess this test is used to test the ball joints.

I hear this noise only when I drive through a pothole and very rough surfaces.

Thanks bro. Engr said he doesn't deal with '02 and earlier anymore.I truly wish he still does coz i just wasted 15k on a mechanic who said I needed to change stabilizer linkage and rubber. He made the changes but apparently, the noise is still there.

I'm completely at a loss on what to do now.
Any advice from Auto experts are earnestly required at this time.

Hello, Please does anyone know where I can do a suspension diagnosis for my car. It's RAV4 02 Model and I reside in Lagos Mainland.

I need an experienced auto person to help diagnose, identify and fix the source of the noise I hear when I'm driving on rough paths or whenever I enter a pothole.

Your assistance will greatly be appreciated.

1st Goal = Chinese connection

Hello,

Please, does anyone know where in LAGOS I can get a double layer Umbrella like the one below to buy?

oga op, what is your motive for repeating this story? Is it to garner likes? Or sympathy? Stop reposting stories here pls

Oga; where did I post it before? Why didn't you check my profile first if I posted it twice before talking amiss?
Meanwhile; i'm not the narrator. Got it from somewhere and posted here just to pass the message.

’all need to read this true life story about a Nigerian woman who first refused to breastfeed her baby because it will make her b-----s sag. Then dumped her husband, son and newborn baby weeks after hubby lost his bank job and absconded with other men.
See how karma dealt with her after many years! She was keeping bad friends who gave her wrong advice that ended up ruining her.
It looked like I have been ranting all morning but in reality I was preparing everyone for the story I am about to share.
We had this family friend when we were quite young. The man was dark and handsome while the wife was light skinned and very pretty. The striking thing about them was that the woman was much taller than her husband.
The lady ran a salon, she had girls working for her (I am not sure she knew how to do hair) while the husband worked in the Bank. We liked them but the woman wasn’t really friendly. They had a son and by the time we were friends, she was pregnant for her second child.
Everything was fine until she put to bed. She had a baby girl and there was so much excitement about her birth. We went visiting immediately she was born but by then the drama hadn’t began.


Three days after our visit, her husband barged into our house. He was so frantic and was threatening to kill his wife. What happened? Why are you so angry? What did she do? He said she refused to breastfeed her daughter. She claimed she wasn’t producing milk and he bought baby milk for the girl.
Still, she won’t attempt to breastfeed her. He tried to find out why but she was giving him attitude. Her Mother refused to feed the baby with the baby food and was feeding her glucose water but the girl had lost a lot of weight.
My Dad was a peacemaker; I can’t count how many issues were resolved with his involvement. He sent for her and she came with her Mother and baby.
“Madam, why aren’t you breastfeeding your baby?” “B----t milk isn’t coming out” she responded. Her Mother shouted, “It’s a big lie. She is taking medicine so the milk won’t flow. See the drug.”
When her husband saw the drug, he descended on her. It took my Mom, my Dad and my elder sister whom they had to call out from our hiding place to watch drama to pull him away from her. She was stunned by her gentle husband’s reaction.
She broke down crying.
My Dad took the husband into his bedroom to cool off while he and Mum tried to find out why a woman would refuse to feed her own child. Her response was hilarious. She said when she breastfed the first child, her b----t sagged a bit.
Her friends told her she was no more desirable, that they don’t breastfeed in order to avoid sagging. So, she decided not to b----t feed again. My Dad asked who gave her the drugs and she mentioned those friends.
My Dad asked her if her husband had ever complained about her not being desirable, she said no. So who was she trying to be desirable for; our young minds wondered. My Mum told her that the drug she was taking was definitely going to sag her b-----s. She asked who the friends were and she mentioned a few and unfortunately, two of them had nasty reputation and in those days reputation mattered.
My Mum warned her to keep away from those friends because they were going to ruin her. Imagine the wicked advice they gave and she was not moved even when her baby was rejecting the baby food.
Her Mother didn’t talk all through until her husband was called out and informed that she was insecure and was scared that she would be undesirable to him. So, to maintain her features she decided not to b----t feed which was a childish decision. They begged him to forgive her and assured him that she would sit up. That was when her Mother spoke up.
She told him that he should stop her from doing that business or going to her shop if he wants to keep his wife and he should cut off all those her friends. She said she had listened to their conversations and even though she wasn’t educated, what she picked wasn’t good; they were out to spoil her. After the reconciliation, they left.
Six months after (the baby was six months when she stayed with us) the woman packed her things and left her husband and 2 children. The man had recently lost his job due to retrenchment in his Bank and they had too many fights about money. Then she left him.
My Dad went to her salon to look for her but she wasn’t there. It was like she had disappeared into thin air. Her Mother came from the village and took over the care of the children while blaming her son in law for not heeding to her warning.
Because her daughter was beautiful and also gullible, she was an easy prey for them. They were jealous and were out to destroy her. The man looked everywhere for his wife but couldn’t find her. Then he heard rumors of her being seen at beer parlors with men. He decided to do something more meaningful for himself.
The Bank paid them off and his siblings whom he helped travel abroad asked him to come over to Germany and start importation business. He left his children with his Mother in law in his house and travelled. We checked in on them once in a while.
The man started spare parts importation business. He brought in Mercedes parts and sold in containers. He moved out of Satellite town to Isolo to be closer to the market. Some years later, we were invited to his new house.
The children were grown now. He had a new wife who just had a baby. I was impressed. He was a big man now. When we knew him then they lived in the bank quarters and it was a two bedroom flat. Now, Oga don blow!
He didn’t even sound the same any more; his voice was deeper like that of an affluent person. His new wife was very friendly and treated my parents with loads of respect and importantly, she breastfed her baby.
His Mother in law (mother of the first wife) was also there with them. He didn’t have a Mother so he had adopted the wise woman as his.
When good fortunes come, so does the devil rear its ugly head.
The first wife, along with her friends, went to fight the new wife at her place of work. She disgraced her, calling her Husband snatcher, Ashawo claiming she charmed the man to chase her away.
It got so bad that the company had to take the case to the Police. Apparently, she had tried to see her husband and he had blocked all chances of her meeting with him. The only way she thought fit to get back in was to accuse the new wife.
The Police asked what happened and she claimed he threw her out of the house and took her children from her. The man maintained that he didn’t but she left abandoning himself and the children including her 6 months old suckling baby because he lost his job.
They asked for witnesses, that was how my parents got involved. My parents and her Mother came to bear witness. They found out he had her located some years back and through his lawyer served her divorce proceedings but she never showed up.
Judgment was given against her and the marriage was annulled. All the evidence was against her, and guess what? She went on her knees to beg her husband.
Well it was too late then, he had moved on and there was no going back. She wanted to have access to her kids and the police appealed to him to allow her see them.
They were brought to his office for her to see them but they wondered whom she was. She kept pestering the man, threatening his wife, going to friends making false claims, just generally making life unbearable for him.
He offered her money to go away but she came back. My Dad advised him to relocate with his family before she does something very drastic. They left Nigeria for the United States of America.
By the time she realized that they had relocated, she was hysterical and came to my Dad’s house. I saw her and although she was still pretty, she looked spent.
Compared to his new wife, she was local or is it razz. My parents advised her to move on with her life and my Dad was blunt in telling her that if he was his blood brother he won’t ever allow him take her back.
She caused her own problem by following bad company. Where were those ladies now?
She lost out on a good man who loved her and looked for her after she left. He was ready to forgive and take her back but she wanted something else and now she has lost her husband and children. That was the last time I ever saw her.
The man came to visit my parents in the US before my Dad died. He appreciated my parents for helping him even though they were not from the same state (he is from Enugu and we are from Imo).
When he was told my Dad died, he wept like a baby on the phone. It hurt him because he was making arrangement for them to visit him in his home. He is still in close contact with my Mum.
The woman lost out. Many women make this mistake. The grass always looks greener on the other side. It is a mirage.
Stay put in your marriage and make it work. Life is filled with ups and downs. That is why we have sunrise and sunset. There is a song I love because of this phrase “Joy comes in the morning, troubles they don’t last always”.
The marriage vow is designed for us to understand that marriage is forever but as humans who like shortcuts we pushed for divorce and we device ways to undo what God has designed.
BEWARE OF BAD FRIENDS. BAD COMPANY CORRUPTS GOOD MANNERS. SHOW ME YOUR FRIEND AND I WILL TELL YOU WHOM YOU ARE. BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS FLOCK TOGETHER. CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY. I don talk finish.
If you know any married woman equally misbehaving in her marriage, kindly show her this story and make sure she reads it.

We need Mikel

Pls can someone kindly direct me to Gazzuzz's AC thread. Thanks in advance.

"she is in her final year at the Nigerian Open University in Ibadan. Although she grew up in Ibadan and can speak Yoruba fluently, she is from Ogu Opa in Enugu state. Vivian is in her mid twenties, and would be rounding up her studies at N.O.U.N early next year. When I asked her what she wanted to do after school, she said she would like to open a big fruits store, and do business on a large scale in this area. The way she spoke about it with passion was so captivating."


The lady sure has a clear vision of where she wants to be.

She is humble enough to help her mother in the petty business. That sure shows she's hardworking to help her family put food on the table and herself through school.

She probably could have heard about Olajumoke's success story, thus, trying her luck . Nothing is impossible for God.

Her dreams will come to pass regardless of peoples' assistance.

@OP, you have done well. Please, don't get discouraged by the negative comments.

SIRTee15's comments ain't far from the truth about what's responsible for the naysayers' comments.

SIRTee15:
@ op, please don't be discouraged by comments here....
The truth is that the psyche of an average Nigerian has been irreparably damaged by our politicians to the extent they see ulterior motives in every act of charity embarked upon by selfless individuals.....
They have become chronic pessimist and hopeless cynics......

I remember when I was helping a young lady through uniben by paying her school fees and giving her monthly stipends.......
Nobody believed i didn't have anything intimate with this girl.........
Even when i invited her to my church to participate in some empowerment programs to help her start a business in her hostel, the wrong notion persisted.....
People just couldn't get to understand why i should be of assistance to a girl I'm not sleeping with.......
Only my boss believed me, and that was because he was equally into such act of charity in his catholic church.....
This was a girl selling recharge card on my street, only to walk up to me one day that she got admitted into uniben but has financial challenges.....
Her parents were not going to support her, rather they want her to travel to Italy......
People's reaction to my story and yours explain why this country is in a present mess it is right now....

I reside in UK now and what i noticed about their citizens is the strong passion they have for charities, both home and abroad.....
And yet we wonder why their country prosper....

What u did is noble and i want u to continue, u gave this girl good publicity and u never can say where her helper will come from....
And for those shouting about poor kids hawking on the streets.....
There's nothing stopping u from picking one on your street and changing her life......
Enough of being internet critics, u guys should do something real for once.....

Keep doing good just like the scriptures has encouraged us.

You are blessed.

You can use the attached as guide for your budget.

You need to know what you need first before you can get an estimate for your budget.

You are playing with fire. There are many single ladies looking for a young guy like you.

PLEASE LEAVE THE MARRIED WOMAN ALONE BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO LATE FOR YOU.

Nice, I'm with you.

Op, a number of graduates keep making the mistake of thinking they have to practice what they studied. In Nigeria, not necessarily.

Some things you might consider doing:

1. Just keep applying for any position you can function in (engineering, banking, accounting, etc.), NOT ONLY ENGINEERING.

2. Pending when the Job comes, you might want to consider doing some GENUINE online business for just a token instead of paying experts to
rewrite your CV (waste of money for a fresh graduate). POLITELY CONTACT ANY NAIRALAND ADMINISTRATOR FOR ADVISE ON THIS.

3. THERE'S A SECRET I LEARNT FOR GETTING FULFILLED. THE SECRET IS SIMPLY VOLUNTEERING.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS CANNOT AFFORD SCHOOL FEES/EXTRA LESSONS/COACHING.TRY TEACHING THEIR
CHILDREN AND SEE WHAT GOD WILL DO FOR YOU IN A SHORT TIME. TRUST ME, THIS WORKS.

4. Stop wasting your energy on complaining.If this becomes a habit, it will ruin you psychologically when you eventually go for an job interview or
an aptitude test.

5. Gather yourself around positive people always.Just get busy with something.DO NOT GIVE ROOM FOR IDLENESS BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN THE
DEVIL WILL STRIKE.

See you soon at the top. Don't forget to come share the good news here when that big company employs you.

Still can't stop laughing

This story is pure lies! Naira is not $ is not 400, it's funny how every one seems to have their own theory on dollars even people who do not, has never come across dollar bills or made transactions in $$$$.

Bros, cool down.It's a gradual process.No one expects the Black marketers to comply immediately.The change effect can only be experienced in a matter of days or weeks provided the dollar doesn't go up again.

This could just be the outcome of the closed door meeting the VP had with the Emir of Kano on February 08.
It's for our good.
