Pls I need help and experience, I bought a used car with all original documents, but the police still said the car was stolen. What should I do?

U need to show them who sold the car to you. So contact d previous owner b4 u enter atm for receiving stolen car. If u can't provide d person dt sold d car to u then u r in hot pepper soup

Did u do police clearance b4 rushing to buy d car?

Dnt worry d car could b genuine but there is something missing in your papers and dts y it is tagged stolen. So if u really need our help list out all d papers and particular u got from seller let's see wat is missing. Police sabi maga ppl so stay cool

Hmmm d wife earns almost three times d salary of d hubby per month dt suggested she may ve progressed more in her career than d man. Actually she can pay d man's salary 150k easily n ll b left with 250k

D family can adjust frm 550k to 400k than from 550k to 150k dts d truth.

D woman can't resign in this senerio in d best interest of d family. They shld talk over it n see if d man can b supported to start a biz n resign so he ll have more time for d family.it is a family sacrifice although d man ll only supervisor wat d house help does n b there for d children. If u hire a beautiful female house help then u may ve married a second wife for ur man.

If d man refuses to do his own biz n resign then their best bet is to hire a trusted house keeper to take care of d children

This kinda topic on front page there r kids all over here ooo

readers discretion adviced: this is a long post. get a bowl of popcorn and your glasses. turn off the TV , you don't want to get distracted. if it took me time to write such a lengthy post, I wonder why you should complain about reading it. below are the reasons.

1. We're too different to live together: women love people and relationships, men love objects (like cars, houses, gadgets, game consoles etc), a man's lot is his career, a woman's is marriage (according to the curse after the fall of man), women are indirect, men are always direct, men want sex before they develop feelings for women, women can't have sex without emotional attachment first(unless they r who.res, even if they are who.res lolzzz), a man wants to hv sex, a woman wants to make love (I swear she doesn't even mind just cuddling), men see having dinner as a time to quench hunger, women see having dinner as time for bonding, let me continue? A married man without money feels unfulfilled, a wealthy woman without a man feels similarly, I can go on and on! But no time, my point, you need a lot of patience, tolerance, understanding, endurance, compromise etc to survive in marriage. But life is too short, stay single and be free to be urself or get married and spend the rest of your life struggling to be another person. Continue reading, this is just one of seven.

2. Love doesn't exist: if you intend to stake your future with a woman on an emotion as erratic as love, then you need to have ur head examined. Love is an emotional convulsion which, like other sicknesses, are recovered from with time. Experience has thought me that a woman's love is only skin deep, but you can accentuate it with money. Ohhhh how women react to the smell of cash. Bleep love and go make some muller.

3. You don't need a child: the world will remember you by the kids you left behind. That's a big fat lie!! You don't need a carbon copy of yourself roaming the earth after your demise to ensure your immortality. Instead, the world will remember you by the feats you surmounted! Obama will be remembered not as the father of, I don't even know his child's name and I don't give a fvck bout it! But as the first black US President. Mother Theresa never had a child, Einstein's legacy is not his kids but his discoveries. My point! You are not remembered by the kids you had but the records you set. But if you badly want a kid, adopt one, or get a baby mama and impregnate her but never, never get married just to have kids. marriage is too great a price to pay.

4. There is absolutely nothing new marriage has to offer you: just be honest with yourself. A family? You already belong to one (or do you think you just appeared out of thin air?), love? Your mother loves you like die, trust moi. A woman to manage your home? Get a maid! pay her well and she will manage your home without complications like disrespecting you, PMS, etc. Sex? Gone are the days men marry for sex ooo!!! Sex is damn cheap, you don't need marriage to enjoy it. By the way, what makes you think getting married entitles you to sex when you want it, ie, if at all?? U never jam female Hitler. Continue reading, I'm not even close to the end.

5. Marriage is expensive: a woman's problems end when she gets married (at least on financial level), while a man's problems just begin. Most ladies don't have plans of making money(some stop after getting married). for a woman, after graduating from uni, a husband is top on d list above a job ie, if a job is on the list. Guys, stay alone and worry for one. Apart from financially, marriage drains you emotionally. You have to deal with a partner suffering from PMS five days in a month for life (by the time she reaches menopause, you'd be probably dead) and when she ain't suffering PMS, its worse cos she is pregnant!! Don't forget regular mood swings, test games, among other complicated female emotional ailments. Plus wait till you get divorced before you know how much financially and emotionally expensive marriage could be. That brings us to...

6. It may end up in divorce: possible causes of divorce. She gains weight, sex with one person for years gone stale and boring, the love (or whatever dumb ass name you call it) fades, you want a new woman, (men are polygamous by nature, hard truth. Deal with it), she is no longer the woman you married, (true, women do change after marriage for many reasons, that is story for another day), you cheat on her, she cheats on you, many many more. Don't scar yourself with a painful divorce. Stay single and happy.

7. You get to focus on your dreams without distractions. Like I said earlier, a man's career is his lot (or curse). As s man if you haven't got a successful career, you will probably die unhappy and unproductive. The compromise you have to make to keep her happy will retard you from achieving your dreams to the fullest. Pleasing a woman and pursuing your dreams are mutually exclusive. don't get married.

disclaimer: its ironic when people say honesty is a virtue yet can't bear to hear (or read) the truth.

nota bene: I am not prejudiced towards women. I hate all equally.

Op ur username is a little bit disturbin let me over look it n comment.

Now all u mentioned r d challenges of marriage jst like life is full of challenges. We cannot run alway from challenges but deal with them. I laughed when u used obama as an eg. Bc obama is happily married so to every successful man is a submissive supportive wife. Can u mention five men who lived without marrying whose lives changed d course of history anywhere in d whorld. Dt won't b easy to find mandela, dangote, bill gate, obama all married.

Op if u marry a good wife u ll apologies to NL for creating this thread n come back to delete this crap u call thread, d problem is dt they r rare to find.

A bad wife is d worst thing dt can happen to a man's life n I believe ur thread shld emphasis bad wife n 95 percent of our girls will make bad wives

So op dnt get it twisted a good wife is d best thing dt can happen to a man.

Go a bit spiritual as a christian here r d word of GOD

It is nt good for a man to b alone I ll make him a helper fit for him..........

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor frm GOD

Marriage is God's plan for procreation n if ur father reasoned lik u, u won't b here today

Op I understannd u can't change anytin in ur first post bc d mod ve locked it but u can ask them them to change d title to " y guys r better off alone than with a bad wife" dt way u ll make most sense

There is nothing wrong in dt d man is d head of d family although it shld be a fraction say abt 60 percent depending on d family overall income its part of submission to ur man . Again d man must b usin d money in d best interest of d family sha. One major reason a woman was created is to assist d man but most naija ladies r too selfish. They ll say his money is our money n my money is my money to do wateva pleases me dts selfish n unacceptable.

Every family/relationship is unique n wat works for one might nt work for d other

Ikenna351:
If you had understood the functions of cooling system thermostat and coolant, in relation to engine oil, you would have had your answer.

I always tell people, if you can, get a car with oil temperature gauge on the instrument panel. Its as important as coolant temperature that detrmines the longevity of engine lifespan if paid attention to.

The warmer the engine oil, the better the lubrication of engine. The colder the oil, the lower the oil tempeature. The lower the oil temperature, the poor the lubrication. The poorer the poor lubrication, the more friction takes place on lubricating parts of engine.

Oil temperature gets warmer as coolant gets hot, at cold start. Coolant Temperature gauge doesnt rise up faster while engine idles after cold start. It takes longer for it to rise. But when driven out immediately at low rpm, the coolant temperature gauge rise up faster due to load on the engine, via the help of thermostat and coolant.

That coolant temperature gauge has risen to optimal temperature does not mean the engine is safe to be revved hard. Wait till oil temperature gauge gives you go ahead. Pay less attention to your speedometer when you start and drive out your car when engine is cold. Pay more attention on the Tachometer, whether you are on city road or expressway. For a start, whatever you do, DO NOT rev the engine beyond 3k rpm when oil temperature gauge is still at blue zone.

Thicker engine oils takes longer for the tempearture to rise up. If you want your engine oil temperature to rise up quicker, go thinner oil. Its one of the reasons thinner oil conserves fuel.

Removing your cooling system thermostat, connecting your fan to spin constantly on with ignition or engine on, pushing the rpm high at cold start, all these will kill your engine overtime because of the state you leave your engine oil.

So, ogawisdom, tell your neighbor not to blame the witches in his village when it happens. Because, it will happen, the engine death.

Well done Ikenna
Yesterday d mechanic dt changed my plugs tried revving by engine too hard from d hood sayin he wants the new plugs to set well well. U need to see d way I shouted for him. He said oga na wetin, u dey mercy for d engine n I jst drew him out frm d bonnet, close it n left.

To use our mechanics u must b sure of wat they are doin n b there to ensure they don't mess wit ur car. Otherwise u r oyo. 50 percent of wat an average mechanic kws abt cars r wrong n most ppl lik my neighbour use their cars based on this wrong info given by our mechanics

It means ur husband is ur oga n u r under his leadership n ll obey him always except he asks u to disobey God

R they musicians or actor n actress their case is rare in Africa, all d best to them children getting married wen their elders still dey

Mikel obi no doubt if trophy is a yardstick

BAD

My tots exactly

poca4real:
It very good to let your car be in idle for 5-8mins in the morning and let it get to operating temperature before moving out,this help alots in terms of fuel consumption and engine efficiency,also make engine to last longer.

5minutes of idlin b4 moving seems much I tink 2mins shld b okay while one drives slowly for anoda 3mins before goin to top speed. My tots

abatically:
First of all, what kind of vehicle does ur friend drive? No matter the kind of vehicle it is not necessary to rev the car before driving out every morning, tell ur friend to save the environment even if he likes wasting fuel.

In extremely cold regions where temperature drops to 0 degrees Celsius in the morning (which Nigeria is not, temperature hardly gets to 18 degrees in Nigeria), then it could be advised to let the engine warm for about 5 mins before driving out to warm the oil, but revving is not advised. In Nigeria, just start ur car and drive, but drive slowly the first couple of minutes before firing.

He uses toyota camry 98.
Apart frm fuel wastage do u think his engine is endangered in anyway by this practice.

My neighbour has d habit of always firing (depressin gas pedal hard on idle) his car engine for abt 5 mins every morning b4 moving out. He says it warms his engine n makes it work smoothly wen he goes out dt an engine is nt good to run cold . I told him it is unnecessary for a car he uses almost everyday dt it wastes his fuel and dt few minutes of firin doesn't really warm d engine lik he tinks n d guy dey argue with me way b car guru(lol)
He wonders y I dont fire my engine b4 moving as all I do is start and move out. He claims I may b harmin my engine with my style.

Again I believe firing d engine may b ok only for a car used sparingly lik once or twice a week.

Pls u guys can join d argument stating ur reasons for or against d motion.

Nobody is saying anytin

Pls has anyone got d service and repair manual or owner manual for toyota carina e, 16 valves 4a fe engine, automatic 98. 1.6l. I ll be glad if I can get d above from anyone or at least a link to download it free . I dnt want to pay for d one they are selling at haynes website for close to 10k dts much.

I am hoping someone here can help out, best regards

You could manage to get by in Abuja town without using your horn .... motorcycles have been banned in major roads, danfoes have been banned, pedestrian bridges are being constructed and the road network is getting better.. But in the outskirts e.g Zuba, Mararaba,e.t.c using your horn becomes a reflex action...

Even in Abj its difficult, naija na naija except highbro streets sha

Senator for abt 16yrs n senate president for 8yrs he has seen it all n shld ve allowed another person in greedy man

imagine your bitterness

Bitter ke boy I am nt ur mate forget dt we r all on nl. If u see me in person u ll lie down flat to greet me. I am a great lion

justi4jesu:
Very funny thread, the guy that said he will run, hmmmm except you are faster than Usain Bolt else...

Running will make it worse bc mob ll catch n beat u mercilessly as if u r a robber. Ur offence to them is nw double hit n run n God saves u if there r no old tires n fuel n a very mean mob bc u may b burnt alive esp if d person u hit died on d spot.

Driving off with ur car to d nearest police station is d best bet n pray u r nt halted by traffic in minutes.

Tell dt to ur sug but ie if u ve one my bro u attended a glorified primary school. Jst pay d 25k and get ur certificate asap bc agitation may lead u into a bigger mess. wat if u guys certificate were to be seized for one year. U would ve been begging to pay 100k by nw.

In a private uni abi glorified primary sch wateva rules d owners make is usually final dts y stds can't use mobile phones in convenant uni

As u r here do u kw hw many of ur colleagues ve paid d 25k n collected their certificate already. Stds of private uni r usually babies n ajibos whose parent won't cry over 25k. Nothing happenin in private uni is just includin d first class they give to u guys to compensate u for d high fees u paid

Ur wife said God won't ans ur prayers n u kept mute my bros u shld ve rejected her words in ur life by makin a counter statement by using a strong bible verse but u didn't now her words ve possessed u and am afraid ll happen in ur life unless u reject dt curse.
U can see hw u r troubled by her words n I am sure it ll continue ringin in ur brain until it materializes in ur life.
D power of death n life is in d spoken words.

U married a very bad wife which is d worst tin dt can happen to any man. Sorry

Pls pls n pls again this woman ll destroy u wit her words if u don't learn to counter her negative words n curses on u with positive words.

Eg. Wifey : U r a frustrated man
U: u r wrong I am a hardworking n industrious man

Wifey: God ll neva ans ur prayers again
U: my God ll neva leave me nor forsake me

Dnt abuse her wit words jst counter her curses wit positive words immediately dnt let it pass dt moment

200k well it can get naija used 1984 to 1990 cars audi 80, benz 190 n flat boot, 504, 505, nissan sunny, golf 2 but then d car may still b a lemon except u r very lucky.

Warning be very careful so u dnt buy a stolen vehicle n land urself in serious gobe. Sharp guys go soon offer u very neat year 2000 n above suv n bigger vehicles for dt amount, jst kw its stolen

Mid size suv vs Full Luxury suv nawa oooo
D range rover is d winner

lonelydora:
If Siena stays in Nigeria, he would have changed his horn like 3 times. Nigerian drivers even honk when the road is free. I don't know if it is what they teach in driving school?

Which driving sch frsc doesn't do driving test before giving any driver license so most ppl learn driving frm frnds n relatives.

Its impossible to drive without ur horn in nigeria its more like drivin in a very dark road without ur headlight on.

Wen we dey even use horn to greet ppl here

Nigeria is quite peculiar regardin driving in everyway most pedestrains ll cross d road wen dey shld nt wavin u n forcin u to stop as if dey r one GCFR while others ll walk on d road, traders also display their goods on d road forcin vehicles to use wateva is left of d road

Well I love nigeria with all my heart n I can't imagine living elsewhere its sooo much fun living here

Its a painful decision dt has to b made and d closest alternative keke is too expensive to acquire. Anyway I dnt tink there is a major town in nigeria dt still uses okada I guess commercial use in rural areas shld b allowed for nw but must b banned in all major towns in nigeria. Ndu bu isi

I always see as silly a poor man selling off properties to get a uk masters wen he kws he ll return to nigeria to look for job. Its a waste wen he could have done same masters in unn, unilag, unibadan, abu, unilorin, oau etc.

He shld take d job asap n start growing frm there since he doesn't ve much connection. Wat a wastage 4m, he would ve used 500k n do masters in naija n save 3.5m. Masters na masters those top nigeria uni have produced ppl who changed things in nigeria more than those dt went to harvard prof soludo n prof dora world changers both had masters in d prestigious unn. Super lion n lioness.

D worst is ppl rushin to ukraine for studies n payin so so much for it all na I sch abroad

My friend forget differrment
This is Africa where once you are married everybody is asking when will you give us a grand child. His family and even yours will be mounting pressure.

Even the man may agree but later change mind. You will say let's use condom, he will say darling let's do skin to skin. Am tired of condoms. Am your husband, remember!

U r kinda right but She shld discuss wit his hubby they may agree on sth. Abt d condom hw can a man b usin condom wit d wife there r other options open for birth control, dt shld nt b an issue I believe.

Pregnancy ll affect her schoolin dts my concern but who kws she may b able to handle it. It depends on d woman in questn, I ve seen a lot of ladies preg n schoolin

Y r u too greedy always going for cars ur money can't afford. Go for toks 98/99 camry and save us all these ur threads ie if u r lucky to get one at dt price

Meriyke:
Our relationship has so far been smooth n abt compatibility, we are.

If d only issue is ur age n level in sch then my ans is as follows

Age - u r old enough for marriage
Level in sch - u can finish up frm ur hubby house, u guys can discuss abt whether to defer gettin pregnant or nt until u finish sch.

So go ahead n marry him. Goodluck to u n pray abt it n commit it to God's hand
