Good morning comrades,
My Toyota Corolla hub is making noise and i am thinking of replacement,
Please should i go for Tokunbo complete hub or i should buy new bearing to replace it
Please advice is needed from someone who has done it before.
Buy new bearings, SDK. is the last brand my mech used. Bought it 4.5k, the tech guy collected
1.5k to push it in , @ jankara. though that was last year February,... it is still serving me .. because of inflation, it might be higher now.. all depends on your pocket.

After fixing,avoid driving too long in water logged areas because that stuff weakens the bearings of the wheels.

Boss I greet you. Please advise a newbie in Lagos. I am starting tomorrow with bolt. My concern is those one way traps that google map doesn't pick. Which locations should I be on the lookout?
Eyes on the road , watch as vehicles move. Gmap fully on.
READ the thread here for 2 years ( 2020-2021/ 2021-2022. you will be @ LEAST 60% ready.

Before I got my first trip, even without getting to yaba ,I had a mental picture of the one way at Unilag and other traps that a rookie might not spot.... All from this thread.
Good luck

A rider books you for the whole hour. It's a cheating on the driver. The last Uberhourly request I saw was 2800 or thereabouts for 1hr.
and Uber will still cut 25% from it? grin what's wrong with Uber?I mean,that one drives does not make one a dummy now #2,800 for a whole hour? Uber no try o. Maybe some drivers still accept such..

@ samobaba, the business is tough ! Esp if you are a family man on rentals.. I can understand his frustrations.
BTW is majidun not around Ikorodu? I have never been to Ikorodu on this hustle,
have you observed that the less desirable destinations in Lagos are where we have the most traffic infractions with their cash out traffic agents.

Thanks
NOTE that the two of them are like brothers and they've been partner for almost 3yrs that's why my friend thinks his partner is not considerate.
Despite being like brothers, you know he doesn't square his partner extra cash when he gets a windfall, even if he gets 100k, he still drops the usual 25k.

Moreover, the partner is bringing a whole car, so he deserves his dues. Even if your friend has the map of lagos in his head with the strength of a bull. Without a car in this racket, you are ****, and you know this is the truth.

*Your view on this matter would be highly appreciated.*

LASTMA arrested a friend and he paid 70k fine.
His partner still want full money (25k) for the week despite the fact that my friend responsible for car maintenance.
*Please is it normal?*
25k/week is very good this period, tell your friend to hold tight to the car.
Your friend caused the 70k loss, it will be unfair to drag his partner into such issues.

Walai, I'm uninstalling it ASAP. Back to Indrive
I am surprised people are still using Rida to get trips. First off, Rida's user interface is wack, which kind of developer is that?, tiny characters, you'd have to literally squint to see pick up and destination.

Secondly, I always avoid free service,because, in the long run,you are just being shortchanged . It's better to pay some form of subscription, 10%,/20%/25%

The bulk majority of riders on Rida are people who don't appreciate value.
You will never find corporate clients on Rida. The corporate clientele list are always on Uber and Bolt, all the folks you interact with on Rida are the wannabes,those who can't really afford taxis but still want to keep up with the Joneses.

Thirdly,no customer support system, offcourse,I don't expect them to have one ,afterall, what can one expect from an app that runs charity.
FREE service is ALWAYS BAD service.

So why get yoked with such apps?

Good day everyone. I need advice:-

I have a 6 speed manual classic Nissan TIIDA 2008 sitting at home everyday. Everything is intact but wifey doesn't know how to drive manual.

Also, I'm not currently not in naija I'm planning on buying auto car for her which she can be using for her businesses and kid(s) runs.

Sir/ma, is it advisable to give this car on rental/hire purchase, or make I kuku leave the car at home sitting idle (this Uber is what I used in owning my first Car through hire purchase which I sold and use in japa) although God has blessed me not that I have billions but I'm very comfortable.

Also I've bought 3 bikes 🚲 for hire purchase which I put my Dad in managing it of which I later regretted it had to tell him to take all the bikes so that I won't get frustrated cos too many complains of not having remittance and all.

I don't really wanna sell the car because the car is my first profit I made over here and I feel is just like I'll be uplifting someone from problem(s).

I'm very afraid to trust people again especially drivers/riders.

I'll appreciate your inputs
Leave at home or Sell the car when it still has market value. How do you plan to oversee such kind of business ?getting TRUSTWORTHY employees is a very herculean task in Nigeria.

So why can't the amputees get healed
It's pointless instructing you. Before I leave.

Motorcycle

Motorcar

Aeroplane.

Different machines,but they all move.. Different capacities.. your faith can be compared as this, there are different degrees to the level of your faith . The level of your faith determines the kind of engagements you have with the supernatural.

I didn’t say the centurion didn’t have faith. Remember you folks said the OPs uncle didn’t have enough faith, yet he prayed, fasted etc. He was even a Christian, and the centurion wasn't even a Christian, yet got healed
You did actually by saying the centurion only asked. And I'm telling you, the faith component was the game changer.
When did I say anything about op not having enough faith ? I'm not you folks.

Omo surge everywhere. But the traffic out there is mad. Not sure I’m entering road today. Probably cos Monday is public holiday too that’s why everywhere is blocked.

Omo I was almost caught my lastma at agege. I was descending from the bridge and that round about where police and lastma gathered. The map confused me and I followed one way to enter oniwaya road. Grateful I sped immediately I heard stop and road was free then. From now I will be turning off the traffic color on google map.
The oniwaya /oba ogunji trap has been documented here already.

The problem with most of you folks is ,you don't study the scriptures yourself, you then come back and lump all pastor's into one group.

Nobody is going to pray for you more than yourself..so if you have any issues in life, locate relevant scriptures in that area and begin to affirm the truth.

1. Good. You don't know. So don't judge
2. We're talking about the daughter who has the disease, not the centurion. Besides, the centurion didn't fast, pray, go to the mountain, all he did was ask his daughter to be healed, and boom, it happened.
3. Obviously you haven't read that part of your Bible properly. I suggest you go back and read it

4. Bro, so a limb regrowing isn't a healing? Really? shocked
You don't know your scriptures. Jesus commended the centurion's faith, Jesus was amazed at his level of faith. because Jesus wanted to come in person physically to their house, but centurion said, Just say a word, and my daughter will be healed , that is great faith..

Oh its ridiculous grin
Someone with HIV can be healed. But an amputee can't have his limbs regrow. God of the impossibility grin
Lol, now this knocked me out.
Your honor, I rest my case
What do you understand by HIV..? If I may ask you.
By my understanding of HIv+,it means the immunity of the blood cells have been compromised, cells too can heal themselves..and regain the immunity they previously lost.

Faith is seeing the true reality of things and not giving validation to negative news which will in turn produce effects on the body and it's functions.

Let me give you an example,
If I told you ,
1. You have been given a new 3 bedroom apartment for life., how would you feel,you will feel elated,so also all the organs of the body.

2. Your new 3 bedroom apartment has been demolished by the state government..,how would you feel, downcast, 😔, so also the organs and functions of the body.

Two scenarios, both are not true,but they will nevertheless physically impact the functions of the body through the mind that receives and dwell on such thoughts,whether true or untrue.

That is how faith works, holding on to the truth ...

I asked a simple question and its yes or no. You said you have seen many miracles(which are all staged), so I ask you again, have you or any chrissie here seem any amputee limb regrow? See amputees are 2 a dime these days. They even litter the roads. There are at least 7 orthopedic hospitals in Nigeria, each with a teeming population of amputees. Yet not even one, just one, has been healed. What does that tell you?
What do you mean by amputee healed..? You mean you believe a miracle ,if it grows back? That's ridiculous.

FRANCISTOWN:
Lazarus wey die wey Jesus wake up which faith him get?

The mad man from whom Jesus sent out a legion of spirits which faith him get?

When Jesus told Peter and Andrew to re-cast their net into the waters; they even ensued in an argument with Jesus to show the highest level of unbelief, yet they still caught much fishes despite their level of unbelief

In Mark 9:20-26 lemme post just verse 24, 'The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”'

And at the end it the day, that man's child was healed despite his unbelief.

We can see several places in the Bible where many people who never had faith received bountiful miracles.

You always find excuse for your God whenever he fails to live up to his hype. Now it was the man's faith; someone who refused going oversea for some random church didn't have faith?
Do you guys think with your shoes, what took him to church in the first place if not his faith in Jesus .
Why didn't he go to the mosque.
Don't be angry over nothing. Faith is what connects you to the miraculous. Dropping money or donating will never equal word generated faith within you.

1. How do you know the deceased and others like him didn't do such or more, and still didn't get healed?
2. Did the daughter of the centurion healed by Jesus undergo such rigors or hoopla. Matter of fact, how many of those jesus healed went through all that? Only thing Jesus said was their faith healed them, but I never read anywhere any of the sick was not healed because of 'insufficient faith'
3. How come miracles don't happen these days despite Jesus saying wonders would be more in the later days?
4. Finally, how many amputee limbs have you seen regrow
1. I don't know that.

2. Go and read well about the centurion as regards faith..

3. Things don't just happen, they are made to happen.

4. Never seen one. We are talking of healing not regrowth of human limbs.

@ Pope.
Indrive is pushing a narrative that riders can just offer any fares they like, it's possible ,maybe in other cities. But in Lagos, pricing has to be dynamic.. or create adequate compensation inlieu.

I still wonder the guys that pick those berger trips on Indrive,what are they smoking 🚬? Cos I don't seem to understand

SultanOfAbia:
somebody that even went to USA for chemotherapy.
Spent lots of money in India
This pastor at the beginning was telling him to ignore doctors report and have faith in God. When it got worse pastor invited him for miracle healing.
His wife was very desperate, she planned to take him to isreal weeks before he died
Sorry about the loss.. it's painful. But miracles are real....But .. the most important factor in invoking the miracle is always the subject/sick person.
"The just shall live by his faith"

Not the preacher's faith,or pastor's faith or congregation faith, but your own faith. Most people don't know this open truth.


Faith comes by raising your consciousness through self affirmations of healing verses ( repetitive confession ,like 7 times daily of different verses .In the orients, it's known as chanting mantras.. Till the verses enters the subconscious, where instructions will be given to the cancerous cells to stop replication and begin the restorative process at the cellular level.

The body has the power to heal itself, it's a latent power ,most people don't engage it.
Drugs and medical intervention just aid. The real healing is from the host/body itself
