^^ i just tire

Happy new year. .

We made it. .

We Thank God

I don't just understand the whole process

The positions and their requirements are all jammed and mixed up

^ ^ never give up

Mr. Fineboy

3 million for a 28 years old truck?

You nor try at all

^^ nepa only brings light once in 3 days so i don't have choice than to use d gen

^^ i guess you use laptop (touch pad only) to start ur practice?

Coz a conventional hand held mouse is not that hard to use

^^ I'v thought about it. Used to use a small step down transformer before until one day, sparked wen i switched it on and all d appliances connected to it got fried. Since then, i'v been using a extension with a single watts wire strand in plug's fuse. . . So if the power gets too high, the wire strand in the fuse will cut . .

But sadly it doesn't protect against power surge. . .

psalmdave: If at all u repair it,with your explanation,wont it get burnt again

by your analogy, so everyone whose TV, Laptop and. . . even cars. . get spoilt should go buy new ones ?

My laptop charger used to burn frequently too like that. . every 3-4 months. . I would buy a new charger for 5k . . I had replaced burnt laptop chargers over 7 times until a laptop repair guy in the shop i used to buy it from pitied me and offered to repair the burnt chargers for N500 each. .

Out of 7 burnt laptop chargers, 3 are now working again for just N1,500 . . I could have spent 5k buying a new charger.

Its the same with phone charger. . If it can be repaired, it won't cost more than N300 to repair. If i can repair 3 spoilt phone chargers for N900 instead of buying a new one for N1,000 , i'll be happy

^^ ^^ the Generator is used to power 7 deep freezers used to cool ice cream and bakery bread slicing machines . . So the Gen can't be tuned low. On stabilizer, the needle is usually in the extreme end of 240V . . But since its Lister Gen, sometimes the power could surge above that

I'v bought another one o. . But when i count 8 burnt original nokia chargers (fake ones don.t last more than 3 days) under my wardrobe. . I just bite my finger

Your opinion and views are highly welcome

Good day to you all. .

I'll like to know if its possible to repair Original ( Nokia ) chargers burnt due to high generator voltage.

We use Lister Diesel Gen in the house every morning and night. . . To power ice cream freezers and bakery bread slicing equipment. . . So the Generator has to be tuned high. .

The result is that small electrical appliances like bulbs, phone chargers, DVD players,get burnt every now and then. An original nokia charges and a desktop charger got burnt this morning. . . Pls don.t tell me to use stabilizer coz even stabilizers get burnt.

There are so many burnt original nokia chargers in the house that i wonder if they can be repaired instead of forking out N1,000 to buy new genuine nokia charger every time

Abi. . Since its possible to repair burnt laptop chargers, then why not burnt phone chargers?

Your humble opinion and recommendations are highly solicited . . . Thanks

^ ^

When you try and imagine the number of people Bnko Haram alone has killed senselessly without cause. . . I shudder. .very scary

@ omodapson, richfaxy & hollas2jnr . .

You guys are very lucky. . . Some parents eh . . If you mention computer to them, they'll size you up and down and tell you to "get out of my sight" !

My elder bro had to quarrel with Dad before bought us laptops while in uni . . Its not as if Dad doesn't have the money. . He does . . But with old school mentality. . If you mention "computer", he'll just wave you off.

And its very sad that many Nigerian parents are still like that.

[quote author=Logan's shadow]Nigerians can be stupid at times.That cafe attendant is a dumb Lady[/quote]not just her. . Thats how most Nigerians do. Once they have small power or they're in a position. . Even company gate man. . They'll start serious forming

I went to a company recently to make a simple vacancy enquiry and the Admin officer, after being called on the intercom , said i should come back in 3 days time coz the day is not a visiting day

Ironically, a British Human Resources Manager warmly welcomed me to his office and answered same enquiry even though its not a visiting day

^^ ya. . Like. . Only one office/center have a desktop in a whole town. . . In 1997 . . Most officer were still using typewriter. .

It wasn't until 1999/2000 that computers started small and medium businesses started buying computers

Ms Nas: 1993. Our school got some new PCs, those types that had bulky backs and vertical CPUs I remembered being so scared to touch it, lest I destroyed it Fast forward, 1997 my secondary school decided to make Computer Science and Music a core subject for all of us. The rest is history. Now I'm getting an Msc in Information Technology (Software development and Ethical Hacking) Yaff upgraded But back then, I was a correct bush gehl. Kai

1993 ? 1997 ?

Computers were very scarce in nigeria at d time

eyenCalabar: if you spoil this Computer now, what would you do?

You folks who started learning from home and office. .

You're very lucky.

Even now, there are millions of kids without that luxury

MONNICO: PLS,CAN ANYONE HELP ME ON THIS:HOW LONG CAN IT TAKE TO DRIVE FROM "ZUBA" TO ABUJA CENTRAL DISTRICT?

OYO

Cykik: My first time made me wanna quit. Marvis beacon almost destroyed my fingers.

Its not advisable to start teaching computer wit mavis beacon. .

alienware: na everyday u dey pass here with your agbada and u no go comment.

They go here and there and there greeting and looking for "good morning"

Before they know, the day is over
