ENVY
In this life eh, these days in particular, here in Nigeria : ENVY manifests in different ways.

if you show ur intellect to the ignorant people ull get instant hate. They wouldn't want to learn. #1 try blow big big grammar for Olokpa and see a lil matter turn to world war. Dnt let em know u know ur rights by speaking big English oh. Else ull get red eye b4 they realize u are a lawyer. An intelligent person is celebrated elsewhere in the world, in America and in UK but here in Nigeria, we call them ITK. Then we despise them cos we dnt understand them, we wish they are shallow in their reasoning so that we can all flow. The reason Nigeria is in recession sha.

If you show your cleanliness to the filthy people you'll get instant hate. They ll rather die of dirt. #2 ha! no try dress well or neat at the office (civil service) and draw the envy of your Haggard looking superiors who will tag u unserious. As if looking rough means hardworking.

If you show your happiness to the sadistic people, ull get instant hate.
They prefer u join as a perpetual mourner. #3 try declare your happiness about your family n life and see how some sad people will work hard to revers ur Hapiness.

If you show your Riches to the poor , ull get instant hate. They like it if u are as poor as they are cos there is love in poverty. #4 abeg no just try go your diabolic village with you new Range Rover auto biography. Ull hear things like " so this small boy wants to show us that he has arrived" eh. "Why is he trying to intimidate us ni" (My vilage ain't like that sha).

If you Show your Success to the losers, you'll get instant hate. They love F9 and underachievement and feels insecurity around u. #5 do u realize how most people pick offense onece uv change status? U begin to fined it hard to yab ur old friends the old way. Eg:,u can call ur friend empty skull n both ya laugh over it if u too is an empty skull, Lol, but not when u have first class. And you can yab ur friend by saying things like "broke ass nigga" n u two will laugh over it if u ar a broke ass or semi-broke too. Lol. But u can't try dat shit if u are comfortable n he is not. Things change as soon as u change level. People around u become super sensitive to ur responses.

No body cares about you or who uv become or what uv achieved. You can't change the world. The world expect u to be sad and dejected. they call it ENVY. The best survival instinct sold the the world is HIDE good part and show the bad part for acceptance.

But if you stick to your beliefs and achievements you'll eventually be accepted by the world in this life or after uv died. - by Lordpapi

Just like Dr IGNAZ PHILIPP SEMMELWEIS
An hungarian Doctor, pioneer of Antiseptic procedures, ''savior of mothers'' . . . sadly, these titles were attributed to him, after his death.
Semmelweis worked in a clinic were the mortality rate was high in comparison to a second clinic in the area due to puerperal fever that was rampant at that time.
Comparing the working conditions of the two hospitals, Semmelweis discovered that the difference between the two clinic was that, while the hospital he worked in involved doctors carrying out Autopsy, the other clinic was for midwives only. And due to the death of his friend who was accidentally poked with a student's scalpel, Semmelweis was able to conclude that the high mortality rate was due to Contaminations from the doctors.
He then made a policy that student doctors wash their hand with chlorinated lime after autopsy work and before examination of patients. The result was a 90% drop in the mortality rate in the clinic.
Unfortunatey, Semmelweis's hypothesis that the only cause of the puerperal fever was uncleanliness on the part of the medical practitioners was both rejected and ridiculed at the same time. Infact, some doctors took offence at the suggestion to wash their hands and Semmelweis was consequently dismissed from the hospital for political reasons, and with harrassment from the medical community in Vienna he was forced to move out to Budapest.
Semmelweis began to write open letters against the doctors of his time, calling them 'irresponsible murderers'. His wife and other friends thought he was running mad and so they took him to Assylum where he died 14 days later (possibly as a result of severe beating from the guards)
Semmelweis's findings where later accepted after Louis Pasteur developed the germ theory of disease which explained all Semmelweis had been saying. #robinhez
His own intellectual capabilities killed him. - Lordpapi

mine here. my sweet ride.

Am so lucky. my gear was such a sensitive one. its A 13 PIN gear system. according to experts, its the most delicate gear when it comes to Toyota cars. I also has seen 3 persons who's gear box failed after work was done on their shaft, oil change, seal change etc.
I have learned a valuable lesson through this ordeal.
I will always make sure I assume a supervisory role any time I visit an auto workshop. The ignorant apprentice almost ruined my car.

These set of precautions must be strictly followed when word is to be done on a vehicle drive train or power train:
1)TO AVOID MEMORY LOSS- battery heads are to be unplugged before working the drive shaft, axle, hube etc.
2)TEMPRATURE IS A RISK FACTOR- give about 24 hours before work is to done on the drive shaft, gear oil change, and oil seal change
3)AVOID DIRT BY ALL MEANS- clean the shaft sockets, bearing before reinstallation
4)IGNITION KEY- never ever leave ignition key on the ignition when doing any work on ur car. even if na ordinary air filter sensor. lol. (I go fear precaution na).
JACKS- make sure jacks are properly place when working on ur car.

Goodluck to prospective car repairers.

Kashif:
That's okay. How did the SL1 check go?

its all good.
The gear box bottom plate was removed after draining all the oil , the valve body was the removed.
it was hard locating which solenoid was SL1, so all the solenoid was removed n cleaned, tested with battery to determined if its clicking. after cleaning of the valve body n all the solenoids, and was about to be replaced, a gear specialist who came from Lagos that very day to fix another gear box came n inspected the gear oil filter. he found out that it was dented and could not pass oil as expected. so, he queried why it was dented and discovered that the bottom plate too was dented ( I knew it wasn't me cos av never hit anything I cn remember) too. After investigation, it was found that while the engine seatings were being removed and replaced, a jack was placed under the gear bottom-plate by a careless apprentice. the jack was what depressed the bottom-plate which in turn depressed the filter which may have also lead to an SL1 stuck off.
So we bought a new filter too but by the time we coupled everything together, it was already late.
fast-forward today; we put everything in place and toped the oil to gauge and test drove the car. we kept driving this car from time to time till 4pm and nothing negative happened. so, that's how I paid off everyone and left with my car. though the car is still on the watch list in-case the issue resurfaces(I believe it wont).

it was nice listening to all your input on thinks.

disloman:
Are you sure you were with them through the saturday to know if they didn't start the work till monday morning?Transmission of such brand are delicate to work on.

I was there all tru

mayor2013:
Another question here is when transmission oil was lost. What type of transmission oil was used to refill?

Toyota oil T4

Kashif:
This transmission is respected in the industry as a butt- kicker. It decides when to go bunkers, and how it goes about it. It could send you chasing your tail by only removing a solenoid, and putting same back. Same could happen after just drain and refill. That's the way it is. It is bullet proof but when it acts up, is difficult to troubleshoot, mainly because it's PIDs are useless.

It is not your fault, nor that of your mechanic. Hot or cold, anything can happen! You need to focus on finding a solution now. Disconnect the solenoid harness and see if you have movement (this will cause it to drive in 3rd). Reverse works as per normal. If you have movement, it makes it easier. If you have a couple of tools, you can access this by taking out the battery and it's support.

You can also use a capable scanner and perform active test on the solenoids. You should hear them click with your ear close to the transmission. No click means stuck. Good luck!

Where are you located?

Thanks dear. am in port-hacourt. Eleme to be precise.
the oil has just been drained in order to inspect the shift solenoid SL1 on the valve body.

Kashif:
This happens, and I do not have a straight answer regarding its cause. Those solenoids are known to be touchy so, it is usually the solenoids and/or control valves. Dirt ingress is common.

There are series of diagnosis to be carried out by your technician. First, let him check for pressure in the box when forward or reverse is selected. One thing I have learnt is to only test drive these transmissions (after an adapt reset) only when hot.

If you can wait a couple of days, you won't need to replace your transmission.

No point asking if you did initialisation, because it should not cause a no move. Do you have reverse? Start vehicle, allow it to get to operating temperature and try again.

This is the process/order of repair
1) vehicle arrive in the workshop on Saturday. shocks, camber, pads n ball joint disassembled.
2)skip sunday- then on Monday hub n shaft was disassembled. its was discovered that the inner bearing and cup had no grease,was so rusted and slightly disintegrated due to exposure to mucky water. hence the need for replacement.
3) on Tuesday, the right leg shaft was also removed to inspect in order to inspect n replace the oil seal. Prior to this, the oil seal leaked oil in drops. so, during this process, 30% of the gear oil leaked out.
4) on Wednesday, all dis assembled parts were refitted back with new ones. the right and left shaft also replace after the oil seal was put in place. the transmission oil too was toped. then the car was started n test driven for a while without any issue coming up.
but by the time I drove the car to a distance of about 3mile, the car began to stall n wont respond to throttle and would engage n disengage at will. so that's how I got to this P0746 error code.

Kashif, please respond to this guy!

i say what went wrong. I took the car there on a Saturday, and on a Monday it was pulled out. the had more than 30hours to cool down...

GAZZUZZ:
did the transmission cool before the cv joints were removed from the gearbox? We're the cv joint ends that go into
Gearbox clean thoroughly?

yes. I took the car there on Saturday, and on Monday it was pulled out. the had more than 30hours to cool down..

Dear auto gurus of nairaland, I need urgent possible explanation and solution to a transmission problem with my 2005 rx330.
I took the car to an auto mechanic to replace the drive shaft( the inner cup and bearing to be precise), driver side shaft oil seal and also to replace all the brake pads, shocks, ball joint, linkages, camber, engine seatings etc. Car drove well after all the repair but suddenly developed fault after about 3 miles distance drive.
the gear will disengage at will and wont accelerate even when it manages to engage. so I had to manage and take the car back to the auto workshop where it was diagnosed and a P0746 code(- Pressure Control Solenoid A Performance or Stuck Off) was discovered as the reason the car had the problem.

my question now I;
1- what could possible cause this sudden problem to the gear box?
2- could it be that the shaft replacement could trigger a damage to the gear box( - Pressure Control Solenoid A Performance or Stuck Off)?
3- what ways can this issue be resolved?

am not happy about this cos a lot have been spent already. pls, I need your advice.

mike mike mike you have come again with your big big grammar

just tell him it will fall if better breeze blow am

Lol. Funny guy. There tires are wide enough to create more balance as it gained height .

Bossforeva:
i use to see an exact Mod of ur car in FUTO. the only diff i think is that guy that drives one in FUTO, has a Bull Rack installed too.

. U are right. It's same car.

@gamebuss007, this is what I got as per the Bluetooth version . But I dnt really need the Bluetooth version. I use an iPhone, and I gues the Bluetooth version of OBD will not be compatible with IPhone . I need the wifi version ,which unfortunately is not available on konga. Don't know if u have an idea where I can get it.

Hi guys, I have done some research and searched through the net for the particular OBD scan tool for my car and I came up with this, model Elm327 v1.5 . I got this on konga at 17k. I want Oga Siena and other auto gurus in the house to give their last advice before I purchase it. Here are d pix.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has revealed why the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate Dakuku Peterside was not qualified to run for the April governorship election.

Wike who made this claim through his Counsel, Emmanuel Ukala, SAN, at the Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, said the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, rules governing nomination of candidates was not observed by the APC candidate.

“The APC did not observe the 21 days Electoral Act declaration under which it is to notify INEC of its candidate before its primary elections.
“So, the document presented by APC on Nov. 18, 2014 notifying INEC of its candidate does not in any way go with the provisions of the electoral law.

“Time is needed to be given to INEC within 21 days of notice under Section 85(1) of the electoral act to produce a candidate to be held, failing which the convention is deemed to be unlawful and a nullity,’’ he argued

Ukala therefore prayed the court to strike out some paragraphs in the petition against Wike because convention/primary elections held on Dec. 4 that produced the APC candidate to run for the 2015 general election was null and void.

In addition, Ulaka stated that President of the Court of Appeal did not consult anyone in the State before constituting members of the panel, adding that the tribunal had no territorial jurisdiction to sit in Abuja.

He also urged the tribunal to discountenance a document produced at the tribunal notifying INEC of the time the APC would conduct its convention and primary elections.

“My argument is on admissibility of this document, a certified true copy of a document can under any circumstances be admitted from the bar but that is not a gateway for breaching all rules of procedure and letting in all manners of document.
“The law governing proceedings in election petition does not contemplate the admissibility of document, the document in question is supposed to be the property of the 2nd petitioner; that is the APC.

“The petitioner has been in the possession of the document, why didn’t he present it before now; based on the fact presented by him, the document is not relevant,’’ Ukala stressed.

Both counsels to INEC, Onyechi Ipeazu and counsels to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Ifedayo Adedipe and Wole Olanipekun, SANs all agreed with Ukala’s submission.

Meanwhile, Counsel to Peterside, Akin Olujimi, argued that his client was duly nominated in accordance with the law of the electoral act.

Olujimi stated that the issue of proper nomination should only be resolved at a trial and not on preliminary objection, adding that the issue as raised by Wike could only come on cross petition.

He therefore urged the court to dismiss the application on grounds that it had no validity and that Section 138 of the Electoral Act backed up his argument.

According to Olujimi, the whole argument on territorial jurisdiction by all the respondents is base on misconception and misconstruction of Section 285(2) of the Constitution

“The error of the application is that they took the language of constitution wrongly and misinterpreted it.
“Once a tribunal is established, it is recognised up to the Appeal Court level, so the section of the Constitution quoted by my learned counsels is perfectly illustrated.

Wike’s victory at Rivers Tribunal: Why Peterside was ineligible to run for governor April 11 election was challenged by the APC claiming the election was rigged and marred with violence of various degrees.

The tribunal therefore adjourned sitting to rule on eligibility of the APC candidate and the issue of territorial jurisdiction to July 29 and July 31.

It also adjourned sitting till July 23 to hear some other motions before it.

Thanks guys. I will make my decision after due costly action and research on all y'all suggestions .

Siena:
The Bluetooth ELM327 plug-in device are pretty basic. If you run iOS, you will NOT be able to connect. The Wi-Fi version is better, but still has limited capability.

I would go with a more expanded device. Toyota Techstream is the best option, it needs a laptop to run the software, but it can't be beaten.

Oga Siena, thanks for this info. I am suspecting that the car is consuming a lot of fuel. It's best for me to do diagnosis first before I take the car to an auto tech.

Does anyone use any of the OBD diagnostic scan tools available to read engine/ecu fault codes?
I am looking at buying one for my RX330 and would like some peoples opinions on which scan tools they have used and which type they used.
Which is best... either the stand alone units that plug straight in or laptop based software connected via usb cable to scan plug.
Thanks.

PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF WORLD EX-PRESIDENTS
EX PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF WORLD EX-PRESIDENTS

Nigeria’s former President, Chief Mathew Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo has added another feather to his big cap as he was appointed as the co-chairman of the InterAction Council of former Heads of State and Government, IAC.
This appointment was announced during the 32nd annual plenary meeting of the Council held at Newport, United Kingdom on Friday.
Obasanjo was a founding member of the InterAction Council,and took time off for the years when he became President in 1999 till 2007, when he completed his two terms.
The former Chairman,Board of Trustees,BoT of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has governed Nigeria both as the Head of a military administration between 1976- 1979 and again as a democratically elected executive President between 1999 – 2007.
Obasanjo is the first African member to assume the chairmanship position since the establishment of the Council over thirty years ago.
“I am humbled to have been elected as co- chair of the InterAction Council,a position that has been held by some of my great friends,who were also my mentors over the years”, Obasanjo said after his appointment.
“Helmut Schmidt of Germany and the Late Malcolm Fraser of Australia and also to serve alongside my longtime friend, Jean Cheritien,the former Prime Minister of Canada.
“We will continue the Council’s important work but also look at some issues that are of particular concern to me,like youth engagement and employment. Africa has many problems but also great opportunities and the InterAction Council will look at both”,he said.
Obasanjo takes over as co-chair from Franz Vrasutzky,the former Chancellor of Austria between 1986 to 1997,who became co-chair from July 1,2010 till yesterday.
The InterAction Council of former Heads of State and Government was established in 1983 and it is an international organisation,whose objective is to address political,economic and social problems confronting humankind.
The Council membership is comprised of more than thirty former Heads of State,who jointly develop proposals for action and submit them directly to national and international decision makers.
In the Council’s 32 years history, the IAC had been at the forefront of many prominent issues,most notably,the 1997 drafting of the universal declaration of Human responsibilities,a document that counter balances the United Nations universal declaration of Human right;the 2010 Hiroshima declaration,a powerful plea for the abolishment of nuclear weapons and the 2012 report,The Global Water crisis:Addressing an urgent security issue.
Past and present
(1) Helmut Schmidt of Germany
(2) Malcolm Fraser of Australia
(3) Jean Chretien of Canada
(4) Franz Vranitzky of Australia
(5) Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria.

Well done dear. Hate is what drives APC ideology.

This is an atempt to tanish and bring to disrepute the effort of our dear PGEJ.
The university is far more presentable than what the op is trying to potray. I will upload evidence that the university has alot of mordern structures and has trained students to 400 level already.
More than 300 staff was employed in this very otuoke university. PROPAGANDA can never help apc.
