For the very first time, I am doubting whether to drive interstate or not.
When I was in OAU, I frequently drive from Lagos to Ife. I have also driven to Akure in Ondo state from Ife for a wedding . My last interstate journey was to a town in Osun from Lagos late last year and honestly I found it stressful. Body don dey old small small. Besides, there were at least six checking points on the road which made the journey less interesting as I had to stop many times. The road was bad too and I was so scared of being kidnapped because I had to move at a very low speed.
It's a colleagues wedding ceremony in Igbemo Ekiti, a nearby town to the capital of Ekiti this weekend. I plan to travel on Friday with two other colleagues( female) and lodge in an Ado Ekiti hotel, then proceed to Igbemo next day.
I will be driving a Lexus ES350 which is very road worthy. I understand Lagos to Ekiti is about 5 hours. I do not know the road network very well. I actually thought I could follow Akure but I was told the road is bad from Akure to Ekiti. I was advised to take Ilesha.
I would have opted for public transport but I visited Ojota and Berger to make some findings on Saturday and I was shocked to see the kind of buses that ply Ekiti. They looked like death traps.
What do you advise considering security, road network and the distance. Thank you.
peteregwu: VIKINGS CULT LEADER, AND GANG, SURRENDERS GUN AND ACCEPTS JESUS.
As a fisherman uses a live worm for a decoy when fishing, so does God of Chosen sometimes lure souls to the kingdom, through problems and afflictions. Especially, souls he's interested in.
When he goes direct to bring lost souls home and they refuse, he allows His great army (locusts, cankerworms, palmerworms, caterpillars, sickness and afflictions - Joel 2:25) to trouble us; not to destroy us , but that we might reconsider and return back to him.
The testimony of brother Ifeanyi is a typical example of such case.
He was a ring leader of the supreme vikings cult in Nigeria, a principal-offender, a repeat-offender and has raped, robbed and killed many of his victims.
One day, he called our Chosen brother who lives in same neck of the woods, and asked him “ brother, you've lived in this area for a long time and you don't associate or talk with anyone; besides, everyone is afraid of you and your lifestyle; what cult are you into? ” Our Chosen brother told him he doesn't belong to any cult.
He then deduced that our brother was a member of ogboni confraternity which our brother denied, that he is a Chosen and don't need to join a cult.
He urged our brother to join his gang and our brother again rebuffed, and then he collected our brother's number, with hope that someday they will become friends.
That particular idea of his eventually paid off. A fellow-feeling was birthed and God of Chosen began to do his work.
Not long after, our Chosen brother received a distress call from Ifeanyi and urged him to come immediately. Our brother who didn't know where he stays, demanded for directions and he eventually found his way to his house .
Getting there, he found out that Ifeanyi has a severe pile. He couldn't sit or stand.
Our brother took him to the hospital and when they got there, the doctor said he has to undergo an operation and that the operation will cost 250,000.
His family was then contacted and when they came, they refused their brother to be operated, that they have a better place(herbalist) for him where he can be healed pro bono.
Before he left the hospital, the doctor told him, just like our Chosen brother initially told him, that “it's only God of Chosen that can deliver him." Funny as it may sound, the doctor wasn't even a Chosen member. This showed that God of Chosen was working ahead of them.
The herbalist did all they could but couldn't heal him, and they called people from white garment church who also did all they could, but couldn't fathom all that was going on with the boy.
After several efforts and no positive result, they told the boy that what he is suffering from is a spiritual problem, and that only God of Chosen can deliver him. That he should find his way to the chosen church.
This was the second time, strangely, that a solution was been proffered by non-chosen members.
He was brought to Chosen where he eventually confessed his sins and surrendered his guns.
That very evening, after he turned over a new leaf, he was invited to our branch church in Orile, Lagos, for more counsel and prayers– and when he was dressed up and ready to go, his friends accosted him and were shocked when it was revealed to them that their leader turned the page and was having a date with the Lord.
They thought he was joshing,and they followed him to Chosen.
Getting there, the rest of his minions all surrendered to God of chosen. They said “ if their alpha-male could turn the page and become a Chosen, then, they are all ready to change."
The resident pastor counselled them and gave his personal apron to the leader, as he's been constantly troubled and scared of a backlash from his quondam members.
When he wore the apron to his vicinity, and even his neighborhood, there was pandemonium! The baffled locals came out in their numbers and began to talk in hushed tones.
It was indeed a sight to behold.
When questioned by dwellers, he told them he is now a Chosen and has renounced his former cult name, which he was known for.
He rendezvoused with his erstwhile members and after telling them of his intention to back out, one of them got angry and tried to hurt Ifeanyi, but the bottle he broke ricocheted and injured him.
They eventually, let him go, even though it was a hard pill to swallow.
Today, our brother has been given a new life and a second chance by God of chosen.
Suspect33: is the institution of marriage still relevant?? People now have sex and make babies without getting married, and why would I want to live with one person for the rest of my life?? makes no sense
U no get sense. In fact, you are very daft with this your statement. Can you afford adultery? How much do you have?
Guest911: Haha useless Muscle. For some reason that car has been bringing up different wahala. But I guess you can call it regular maintenance.
AC is still solid by the way.
The gear got fixed. I’ve fixed everything and I’m also planning on selling mine this month or next.
What car did you get?
No cons with the manual AC? I sold mine 1.1m with the bad AC. My friend whose own is not as neat as mine sold hers1.450 just cus it had a factory fitted AC. How much will you now sell with a converted AC? I hope you will easily get a buyer sha...By the way, I bought a Lexus ES350. Really enjoying that at the moment.. The Muscle isn't a solid car at all. Just another big for nothing.
A denso compressor for that camry from elizade is over 400k
Now, expensive and cheap is in perception and in purchase power.
The market value of a product, and how expensive something is, is in individual perception.
A product with a market value of 15k will be expensive to someone that has 10k as purchase power, outrageous to one with 3k
A really expensive product is one that its market value is 15k and is being offered 40k. That's expensive.
For the camry, if you really care about the ac working, and not on whats best for the car, go for the manual compressor way and have some peace and enjoy cool breeze. The woes are most times exaggerated.
Going auto, requires this qoute, and possible extra on accessment to see if the ac system is not virus riddled.
I, personally for ac jobs, lay it all out to the customer, the pros and cons of either options.
If you are sticking with spec.
With this quote, i will replace evaporator too, then hoses i cant confirm the flush state. I seriously no like wahala.
If i see a customer that's with a budget, i will advise manual.
I am talking practical on the job experience here, not just follow spec. If you want spec, you should be ready to spend spec.
If you cut corners with auto. You and your mechanic will settle in the police station.
Nice write-up. Well understood.
I sold the car to a junior colleague as I was scared of going through the conversion process which might likely ruin the car.
But if I may ask, what are the known issues that comes with this conversion?
Guest911: my dear I got a manual compressor from an older Camry, got a Rewire guy to do the conversion. I haven’t had any problems it’s been 2 months. Compressor N45k Condenser N15k Oil N1k Flushed the system. Sorry for the late reply.
How is the AC faring now. Your gear too? By the way, I have sold my useless muscle...
iamoyindamola: He must get future in la Liga, he's too sluggish for EPL
When Arsenal fans were hyping this guy, I was happy that my husband could see through his eyes. Just like me, he knew the only good player that Arsenal has is Saka. Others are below average. Arsenal has really lost it...
