Really? You mean they've removed this sign?
Yes, is it still there? Last week, I passed there, I was looking for it. Please, who has a current update of that notice.

The wisdom in Lagos is to drive in areas you are familiar with. That was the luxury Bolt took from drivers. Even some experienced drivers enter one way. Don't rely on Gmap fully in some areas. After you pay heavy sums to those stupid anti one - way teams, the trauma will be with you for weeks.

After much complains about rogue lastma officials and their Lastma traffic teams extorting motorists on SM as regards Dopemu. if you noticed, LASG removed the ( after 3pm) one way signage at Dopemu Bridge.

Mechanic no suppose bring down your engine because of oil seal.

It’s a round rubber and all he need to do for easy repair is to remove the passenger tyre and passenger sand protector and belt that’s all. And the cost of original seal shouldn’t be 2-4K his workmanship depends maybe 3-5k max.

So please get your fact right know what you want to do first. You can check this morning if it’s oil seal or try another mechanic. Some Lagos mechanic can be rogues he need to pay school fees too.

Below is what oil seal means and that’s the location of engine
Bless you
There are 2 oil seals for a corrolla. There's one by the pulley, and there's a back one between the gear and the engine (flywheel).

He probably meant bringing down the gear. and not the engine. Anyways, it's a more tasking seal (back one) to replace.

I'm into fish farming. Please how do I cope with the rising cost of feed and other cost of running the farm like buying fuel to pump water in this area because there no light around here. There was really little or no profit from my last sale. Please advice.
Don't buy any info. I'm going to give you this expo.
A lot of fish farmers who make profit, have access to poultry farms. Most times, they buy or source for dead birds, wasted eggs. They get a big pot, dump everything n cook under extremely high temp with firewood . Sterilizng n kill all harmful microbes.

This is what they use in feeding the fishes. This also needs a strategy to ensure acceptability

My candid advise to you is 'Stop Fish Business' . it's not worth it at all. The only way you can make profit from the business is if you sell directly to consumers and avoid wholesales. Save yourself the stress and stop the business.
VERY true. Sadly, op is raising fish for the middlemen. ( wholesale buyers).

Pls guys when relocating from Lagos to a distant state. Do you need to change your car documents? Because this one Lagos is doing physical inspection for RWC now it will be hard to get it done from that distance
No need to change car documents. Car documentation is National, the only diff is RWC. Which is issued by a state agency. If you are based in another state, N your RWC expires, collect d RWCs of that state.

If you r entering Lagos again, you know you gats to get another one.

Boss.i think you may have to review this. Do you mean 5k heaps on an acre or 5,0000(5k) as the cost of the heap making on an acre?
He means highest pay rate of 1500 naira for every 200 heaps made.

@ glithronix, 5w30 is synthetic oil. Few partners use synthetic oil for servicing the car. So confirm from your partner if he has been using 5w30....

From what I gathered, it's best practice to stick with the oil you have been using previously ( even if it's not the manufacturer specificied 5w30 VS 20w50.)

Finally changed to tokunbo engine today

It is today that i finally know that engine is the life of any vehicle.

My car that vibrates on idle, does limp mode and very sluggish on the road, consume 1 and half litres per day, goes off and force itself to move when AC is placed on high etc, the car is now sound

Omo. I was driving it today and I was happy.

No vibrations, rough idle etc.

I thank God for the success
Good one.

Good evening my bosses, my 2008 Toyota Camry vibrates excessively. I've not been able to use it to work and my mechanic wasn't able to discover the cause. Especially when I'm in traffic and my leg is on the brake pedal and the car is on drive. The vibration will be too much, it reduces immediately I put it on neutral.
If you drive nko. Does it vibrate too.

On the engine oil cover for your 2005 Honda 5w30 might have been written on it from the factory and in its manual but today that same engine in your vehicle is supposed to be using 5w20.

What I’m implying is that all Honda Accord vehicle engines from 2003-2011 now use 5w20 engine oil spec.

no be me talk am oh, na Honda dem cool

But personally if you’ve been using your 5w30 then you have no reason to change.
Maybe for Honda. But for Toyota cars it's pretty straight forward. Use the oil type engraved on the gear dipstick. Regardless of year of manufacture.

@ kedoty. Good job boss. On the update, I was expecting Pioneer for the seeds, have you used this seedco before? , which particular seedco number? I have heard of it too.

As regards the planting, why opting for manual labour as against the planter machine? Any reasons.

For those of you using Toyota vehicles please be aware that the current factory recommended transmission fluid for your ride is no longer the ATF T-IV, it is now the ATF WS fluid.

ATF T-IV = conventional (dextron 3, ATF-Z1 etc spec)
ATF WS = synthetic (dextron 6, ATF-DW1 etc spec)



Be informed
I don't understand, you mean ALL Toyota cars.
I thought the gear oil to be used is engraved on the gear dipstick. T-IV or WS as the case applies.

The new branded Toyota gear ( color change in container ) oil still comes in two different variety. T-IV and WS

My eyes must be paining me.
Where I grew up, there's a saying
"Orisa to ba gbemi, fimile bo se bami". Meaning a diety (Bolt) that cannot put me in the path of progress and prosperity, you had better let me be.

If they do well, I will say it, if they are found wanting , I will say it too. F**k Loyalty!

How we go take escape this sanction like this?

I got my first 3 days suspension last week.
Try Uber. Ever since the Bolt driver score ish started, I hv not been comfortable using them. Last week I tried Uber, this week, after 15 trips, you stay on 5% commission. In 2 days, you can get the 15 trips. No fear of not picking trips.
Easy work.

You are the rookie. Figures don't lie. Get the price/ton of cassava and maize and compare.
I repeat again, from a ROI standpoint. Maize beats cassava hands down.
