Nice stuff. thanks

This is should be aired in national tv on nta to help deter people from drug trafficking. I feel for the families they left behind.

cecegorz: Nice Observation.
I always doubt the reading on those ancient looking Pen size guages most of them use. I prefer the clock type, but with this info that one can get digital type at shoprite, I'll like to get one.
Meanwhile, I recently bought 4 new MAXXIS Tyres of the same specs with yours, and the recommended cold pressure specified on the label is 40PSi

I think that what tires bear on their sidewalls is the maximum pressure you should not exceed when inflating the tire and not necessarily the recommended pressure for driving. The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle will be written in your car's manual and the sticker by the door frame. Eg for a 2003 accord LX its 30psi front and 29 psi back.

Wallie: An overinflated tire won't cause your tire to explode! Overinflation of tires will generally lead to more wear and rough handling of your car. It can also reduce the effectiveness of your brakes because you will have less contact patch (the surface of the tire becomes more rounded instead of being squared).

The rough handling occurs due to the sidewalls of the tire becoming unyielding (no deflection). You will feel every single bump on the road.

In reality, you have to adjust your tire pressure based on the load your car is carrying, which is why your car manual should give you a separate tire pressure for “max load.”

Underinflation is what causes tires to explode due to the heat being generated by the tire (too much friction).

I dont understand the logic here. Every inflatable device has the maximum amount of pressure it can contain above which a rupture becomes inevitable at some point. Are you saying that if a tire rated "44psi max" is pumped to 80psi that it doesn't stand an increased chance of exploding I think physics supports this

Ikenna351: Last week, my daily driver had a flat tyre. I remove it and put the spare tyre. I took the flat tyre to a tyre Vulcanizer. After fixing the tyre leak, I asked him what pressure gauge he leaved it at. He said 40 psi. I told him that i would prefer that he reduced the pressure to 33 psi, as the factory recommended for the R15 195/65 88H. Well he maintained that the 40 psi was ok for the tire size. Because i didnt have tyre pressure guage to reduce it on my own, i let it be. I paid for the job, collected the tyre and headed to APO mechanic village to get prices of 505 parts I needed to purchase this week and send to friends in USA & New Zealand that needed the parts to keep their 505s on the road (due to unavailability of 505 parts overthere, especially in North America). I also decided to use that opportunity to purchase and have my own Tyre air pressure guage. I found two types in the market: clock type & metal pen type (one usually seen and used by our tyre vulcanizers). The pen type is of two grades: the one of N1000 & the one N600. I purchase the one of 1k because the superior quality was so glaring/obvious. I think the brand is PCL. Anyway, I got home and tested it on the tyre that was fixed that day. What i saw on the guage gave me the shock of my life. 60 psi !! This was the tyre the tyre vulcanizer said he left it at 40 psi. Luckly for me, i was still running on the spare tyre. Had it been i have mounted the tyre on the car, maybe it would have exploded. Hmm! I quickly reduced it to 33 psi.

Underinflated & overinflated tyres contribute a lot to high fuel consumption of our various vehicles. They also reduce the lifespan of our tyres. We can save a lot headache by having tyre pressure guage & checking the tyre pressures everytime those clowns touch our tyres. If you have the guage, you can be checking your tyre pressures, at least, once every week to know when to add air to the tyre(s), if need be. Maintaining the factory recommended tyre pressure would ensure the sustainability of the good fuel economy of the car & prolong the tyre's lifespan.

Get the tyre air pressure guage. 1k or N600 is not too much.

Ikenna.

I've had this same experience. Went to inflate my tire at one malnourished michellin dealer in Gombe during my NYSC. After doing the job I noticed that what the guy was posing to be a gauge was a spanner, but because I was in "volatile territory" i no fit shout! I drove jejely to a better well equipped authentic michelin dealer. Guess what? my front tires were over 50PSI and i was going to do a 13hr journey the next day down to the east!
A good personal gauge is a handy tool.

Reuters has the death toll at 60 now.

"The Yobe State Governor has visited the Potiskum cattle market where he was informed that 60 people had been killed in the attack, while 29 people are receiving treatment at the Hospital," Abdullahi Bego, spokesman for Governor Ibrahim Gaidam, told Reuters by telephone..."

I thought GEJ said he would not spare those implicated in this subsidy stuff terrible news

2great: In as much as I'm surounded by doctors&I've always bin on dia sides, I wld want dos suportn dem 2 knw dat housemanship is part of d training required 4 dia edification&personal development in dia chosen career. Meanwhile, considering dia take home relative 2 oda profesionals, I feel dere's no need 4d teaching alowance. HOs too r usualy taught along wt d clinical students 2 refresh wot dy learnt yrs bak most times,so dy cld b considerd as drs servin 2 learn more. Givin dem 2 teachn is a priviledge dat is helpful 2 dem n shld b acknowledged like I did as a corper teaching I.t Students. An atempt to pay dem now wl profer 4 an increment in future,& wil pave way 4 oda profesionals 2 embark on similar path wch wil not help later.
But com 2 tink of It, shld lawyers b paid such too while dy receive several practices In law sch,..? Infact, d present wages considerd token by som here is d only reason u see som kids rushn in 2 study medcine. Presently, hardly wld u gain admision in2 medcine if u aint influential,d big wigs see it as one dat cld pay dia wards relatively reasonable in d public,& atempt 2get it by all means thereby depriving d passionate masses. Continued embelishment of wages 4 dz noble profession wil soon deprive it of d pasion d early doctors intended.

The text in bold is a lie!!! I was once a HO. HO's are never taught together with medical students. HO are fully qualified DRs and during my time It was routine for HO's to teach medical students during HO rounds.

Its only Drs in the system that really understand what it takes to be a Dr in Nigeria. B4 the last increase a HO's yearly hazard allowance was 19k. I personally know Drs that accidentally got punctured with needles they used on HIV patients and had to take anti-retrovirals with all its attendant side effects, yet you received less than 19k a year for such heavy risk. I know at least 2 that have lost their lives to Lassa fever clearly contracted during their management of patients. Its not easy.

Can you imagine being on call for 30 days in a hospital? it means sleeping there for all those days. This is why in most countries Drs are amongst the highest paid and in Nigeria its not like you have all you need to even make your work easier. I still remember times that common water to wash hands after drawing blood from a patient is unavailable.
You literally give yourself to be a good Dr and as such it does demand a lot of motivation to keep you going.

I simply marvel at ladies these days. Are the two of you not becoming one? Some families have survived for some periods only from the income of the woman when unexpected things happen. I'm glad at the woman I married, we still share all we have including money.

There nothing wrong with a woman helping towards the costs of the wedding. If a woman has agreed to share her most priced possession; her body, with a man, what is money then?

I am glad to let all of you know that I've started reaping the fruit of my labour! My 6 pack has started appearing. I'm still doing my situps, pushups and another excercise that i cant describe here but the routine doesn't take more than 15mins to finish.

Thanks to all that gave useful comments

Arysexy: dis prophesy will make me know if this man is really from God or not, let wait and c, this thread must not be deleted

Bear in mind that theres a 50% chance of chelsea winning anyway cos they are just 2 teams and someone must win. Its 50-50 so... I believe u get my point

Da infamous: have you seen this video?watch it and see how this-day newspaper office was blown up and they were chanting ALLAH UWAKBAR the driver actually drove inside the building from the main gate and blew himself up

Coming to think of it our security agencies really need to step up to the plate; can't they run a trace on the IP addresses that upload these videos?

JaaizTech: The igbos don't have oil. However, I wish this country was that easy to divide. The most peaceful political solution I see now is "POWER ROTATION", 8 years for South, 8 years for North; and let it be institutionalised in the constitution. But as for a breakup!, it will be damn too bloody. First the Military will take over, then the military will fight itself, the police will fight itself, the civilians will fight themselves. Remember Rwanda It may even be worse than that... In the end, the price will be too big.So if you are ready for a war, that will consume your family, have your wives and sisters raped by Soldiers & militia, and turn you to a refugee, you can continue drumming for war...

Rather than this its better we divide. How is it that hausas cannot stand another ruling them. For all the donkey years that they were in power did any other of the tribes do things like this?

Whether you believe it or not, we all know that the moment an hausa man becomes the president BH will cease operations. What about the people that even said they would make this country ungovernable if they don't win? Is it not clearly that group that is responsible for all this bombing we're seeing today

@OP my advice is to consolidate on what you have. Is ur wife's baking making some money? if yes invest some money into this. This would be a good start. Some have advised you to go into online business, I would kick against this, because money can go in a flash there. Keep looking for another job and then also do a SWOT analysis to scope out business opportunities around you, start small. Don't go investing massive amounts into a biz especially if it will take time to reap fruits. I would not advice starting with more than 500k except the prospects are high and sure. Take care

My advice to any southerner in the north is to relocate back home. What a loss

kurus: @Jenams, i think you're the one whose belitting Jesus. When a politican has an accident on a road that is poorly constructed and / or with potholes, you don't invoke the name of Jesus, cos that means you're riducling his name. If the politician cannot fix the road and he suffers the consequence, why should you now call on God to help heal him?

I actually pray our politicians meet more fate like this. If ordianry people can die like this everyday and they show no concern, when it happens to them, i call that karma aka poetic justice.

Let alone the reckless driving that they do chasing every other car out of the road. I remember one day a convoy nearly drove me into the bush had I not stood my ground

ak47mann: i think referendum will be needed

This is indeed needed though I doubt the powers that be will allow it come to pass. Scotland should be voting on one to decide if they remain part of the UK or not.

This is a thread open for deliberation. With the recent instability here is my take on the above question:

There is no doubt in my mind that if a northerner were to become the president of Nigeria BH will die a natural death, I think virtually all nairalanders would agree on this. I do not understand why the north (Hausas)should lay such claim to power. For all the years that Hausa ruled us non of the other tribes started this kind of revolution. I also agree that PDP caused part of this problem with their so called zoning formula, however with the turn of things after the last elections I doubt that a mere doing away with zoning in PDP will solve this recent menace.

I therefore think that a good solution would be a division: North and south. Since the north cannot bear having another rule. This way everyone will always be in power.

Other enlightening comments are welcome. I do not intend to start up a tribalism war but if the truth must be told then somethings must be said.

Or do you not agree that if a northerner were to become president that BH attacks would cease?

Its quite clear that there massive rigging and IM going into this stuff.

Omo I remember the myth that if eat mango and drink garri u will die It made the rounds well when I was in 2ndry skl and never saw anyone who tried to disprove it. Any of us heard it?

heart attack

arsenal and short passes.. better mind urself o

Limaoscar: Wigan's Di Santo is a "Mad Man" just scored a very sexy goal to make it 4-0 against "Old Castle". Similar to Ramirez's against Barca in CL...I'd say.

Arsenal has sweated it all the way to half time on even score.....Will Stoke defend and break or will Arsenal come in and get an early goal in 5mins(typical of them) then go all the way or buckle to a draw....when they return we'll see

Mean while it feels like a basketball game in the EPL today...lotta goals everywhere.May be end of season fighting spirit.

lol

Let a moderator please delete this thread. didnt see that a thread had already been opened

Its game on.

Crouch scored first around 10mins, RVP equalised 15mins

@Tisbone

A few things stand out for me.

1. Are you ready to become the mother of 3, u'd have to manage the children
2. Ur family claims he's a known trap for women
3. On first date he's reaching for your behind (This clearly shows he will do more later and soon. This is the norm in relationships; physical activities eg caressing grows in intensity and frequency with time. You can bet that next time he may actually touch ur behind)
4. You're scared

From where I stand I'd advice you look elsewhere, if it doesn't feel right and there's nothing deep down affirming him do not go further. Rule out infatuation from true love.

Again, what do your trusted friends think?
