ComputersRe: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by polimaf(m): 9:46am On Jun 19, 2019
It’s the same replacement battery.

When the system shuts down, does the battery capacity reduces? I mean if it shuts down at 50% and when switched back on, does it go down to 20% or something lower
Makschinchin:
Okay, thank you for your response. But the thing is this, it works very fine when plugged in without the battery.. I only have this issue when I don't plug it to light but use it on battery. The technician charged me a higher price for this battery against the regular market price. I know it's a replacement battery, but there are good and bad replacement batteries in the market.. Wanted to know if the one he sold to me is any good since he charged me a higher price for it

ComputersRe: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by polimaf(m): 8:31am On Jun 19, 2019
First, the battery is not original neither is it fake it’s just a normal replaceable battery. Back to issue, you have tried up to five batteries and nothing seems to change, I think the problem is not battery but an issue with the motherboard. The technician should focus on rectifying the issue from board
Makschinchin:
Please o, what do you mean by AMD processor??



The thing is this..

My laptop was working very fine before it turned off one day due to power surge/current. At that point, the battery on my system began to read not detected and if I plug in to light without battery it works fine.

I taught it was only a battery error , so I tried getting a new battery.. But then I noticed the system couldn't charge up all the batteries I tried. The seller told me to see a technician to work on the board, probably a faulty charging IC.

I took it for repairs and the technician told me I'll get a new battery first so that he can use it to work on it. He charged me for an original battery and brought one which he used to work on the system.. After the job was done, I tested it, the system was charging up the battery and I felt okay..

But when I got back home, i charged the battery to full capacity. I tried the system without plugging to light, just using the battery, only for it to suddenly shut down after about 30mins.. I turned it on again only for it to shut down suddenly again within 20mins without any warning..

I talked to the technician about it and he told me to bring it back for him to check.. I went back to him, he observed it, applied thermal paste turned it back on but noticed the system still shuts down abruptly after some minutes. He took out the battery and went ahead to change it.. The first one he brought also shut down after some minutes. The second one he brought didn't work on the system.

So he brought a third one. I tried using it there and it worked for about 45 minutes before turning off (while i still had about 50℅ battery life left). Tried turning it on at his office but it wouldn't come up, so we plugged it into light to charge (he said it was a new battery and needed to charge to full before usage). Since time was far spent and Lagos traffic is unbearable, I decided to take it home to complete the charging.

I took it home, completed the charging, plugged it out of light and used it again only for it to still shut down after about 30mins.. I immediately turned it on again and it went off after 10 mins. I turned it on again and it shut down after 20-30 mins..

Please gurus in the house help me out, could it be from the system or the battery itself?? I have attached a picture of the battery (5200mAh) he sold to me at original price. Please help me check if its an original replacement battery because he charged me for an original battery price more than the regular market price.. Could the fault be from the system or the battery??

Sorry for the long epistle, I just had to bare it all to seek advice from you guys.. Thanks for your anticipated responses

Cc: Udemzyudex, Computerboy, horllarmy, Razak5, kunleforreal, polimaf and other gurus, your candid advice is needed

BusinessRe: Why Is It So Difficult Having A Shop In Lagos? by polimaf(m): 2:49pm On Jun 18, 2019
It depends on the type of business.

For businesses like mine, owning a shop is importanter. I’m into computers and accessories and some days we make the money for shop rent and those other fees rendering services aside sales of laptops, computers and accessories. The type of business is really key.
Godmother:
I had a shop few years ago but had to close it down due to the stress of owning a shop in Lagos.

There are just too many levies associated with owning a shop and if you aren't careful, you'd be working for these people.

Then I used to pay the following:

Shop Rent = 8,000 monthly (for two shops)
NEPA BILL = 2,000 - 5,0000 monthly
SHOP Permit =5,000 yearly
Lawma = 300 - 500 monthly
Security = 2,000 monthly
Reconnection= 300 for whenever the light was disconnected.
Transport = 5,000 monthly
Feeding Nil as I always brought food from home

Total = 18,000 to 23,000 monthly

Which means I needed to make at least 18,000 monthly to not be running at a loss. Whatever else I made was then my profit.

At the end, I did a rethink and felt owning a shop was slavery and not just worth it in this part of the country.

Please share your own experience owning a shop in Lagos.

PropertiesRe: I Work In VI, Should I Stay In Island Or Move To Mainland by polimaf(m): 7:43am On May 01, 2019

Your analysis is on point.

But i was also putting alot of other things into consideration which includes school fees for my 2 kids, annual toll gate costs, water and light (I hear water is bad in lekki axis and light too).

Considering all these, will yo u still advise i tilt toward Island. If so which side of Lekki can I base my search on? I'm not too conversant with the areas. There's a place called OSap London or so. Its like mid way
You are right about the cost of those things. That's definitely a disadvantage. light is stable in most places, water is not clean everywhere. If you still consider the island, tell your agent to put those two things into consideration(Water and Light). and he should look between Ikate and Chevron.

I recently moved from Abuja to Lagos. My family is about to join me soon
My office is in Kofo Abayomi, VI and i'm seriously confused about where to station my family.

I can spare about 1.2M for rent for a 3 bedroom.
People are advising me to stay in Surulere, but I don't know much about the place. I've stay in a 1 room bq in lekki axis (VGC to be precise) and it's the closest to what i get in abuja, but the rent and distance from work is not funny.

What's your advice? Bite the dust and move to mainland or bump up my cash and stay on island with no life savings.

If Mainland, Yaba or Surulere?
If Island, which area.

I've spent 4 months in Lagos so far, so i'm a jjc.
Let's start with both traffic. say you close by 4-5pm, All the bridge to the mainland is blocked by then, so you spend 2-4 hours between VI and Yaba or surulere and close to 5hours on Fridays.

but the average traffic between VI and VGC is usually between 1:30 - 2 hours. where there's more traffic is between lekki and Jakande, then Ajah to Ikota.

Cost of Rent. You can get a comfortable 3bedroom at Lekki Right between 800k-1.2M which is almost equivalent to the cost of 2bed in Yaba or Surulere.

I'll chose The island.

Romance6 Commonly Sexually Transmitted Infections And Their Symptoms by polimaf(op): 4:40pm On Apr 04, 2019
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are serious public health issues that can have devastating effects on sexual, reproductive and general health.
STIs are spread predominantly by sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and MouthAction.

However, STIs can also be spread through non-sexual means such as via blood or blood products, as well as transmission from mother to child during pregnancy and childbirth.

Some health experts said STIs increase the risk of HIV infections due to some mechanisms which include breach in the skin.

Below are six common STIs and their symptoms:

Chlamydia
Chlamydia is an infection caused by a bacterial called Chlamydia trachomatis.
It takes about one to three weeks after exposure to be able to detect the infection.

Usually, chlamydia does not have any symptoms and can be easily treated. However, if it is not treated early it can spread to other parts of the body and lead to long-term health problems.

Just like other STIs, chlamydia can be contracted through sex without condom, including vaginal, anal or MouthAction with someone who has chlamydia (even if they don’t have symptoms).

Other ways include sharing of intimacy gadgets, when your genitals come into contact with your partner’s genitals – this means you can get chlamydia from someone even if there is no penetration, orgasm or ejaculation.

A pregnant woman with chlamydia can also pass the infection on to the unborn child.

Gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea is one of the common STIs in Nigeria. It is a genital tract infection caused by the bacteria known as Neisseria Gonorrhea.
The most common symptoms of gonorrhea are discharge from the vagina or penis and painful or difficult urination.

It can infect the genital tract, the mouth, and the rectum. In women, the cervix and uterus can be the first place of infection, with the disease later spreading to the uterus and fallopian tubes, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

Syphilis

Syphilis is an STI that begins with genital sores, progresses to a general rash, and then to disfiguring abscesses and scabs all over the body.
It is caused by the bacterium known as Treponema Pallidum.

The bacterium enters the body through skin or mucous membranes, usually during sexual contact.

It can be spread from the sores of an infected person to the mucous membranes of the genital area, the mouth, or the anus of a sexual partner.

In its late stages, untreated syphilis can cause heart abnormalities, mental disorders, blindness, other neurological problems, and death.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is a major global health problem. It can cause chronic infection and put people at high risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer.
A vaccine against hepatitis B has been available since 1982. The vaccine is 95 per cent effective in preventing infection and the development of chronic disease and liver cancer due to hepatitis B.

Herpes

Herpes simplex virus (HSV), better known as genital herpes, is a contagious viral infection that can be contracted by any sexually active person.
Usually, the herpes virus causes sores on the vaginal area, penis and/or the anus. It can, sometimes, appear around the mouth.

This infection can only be suppressed but it never goes away. It can return, and it is contagious even when there are no visible sores.

Upon observation, a patient can have from four to seven flare-ups each year.

HIV

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system, our body’s natural defence against illness.
Once a person has HIV, the earlier they are diagnosed the sooner they can start treatment which means they will enjoy better health in the long term.

Most times, if not properly managed, it can lead to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDs), a life-threatening disease.

Family82 Years In Marriage: Couple Shares Secrets Of Their Union by polimaf(op): 4:24pm On Apr 04, 2019
A local couple has celebrated their birthdays, 100 and 103 respectively and may have all the answers to making it through to 80 plus years of marriage. The have been married for 82 years!

Their daughter and granddaughter, BJ Williams-Greene threw them a party at First Mayfield Memorial Baptist in north Charlotte.

“To see them at this age and still doing well, it’s just a bless to have them here,” Williams-Greene said.

Over the years, the couple said they remember meeting each other and cab rides going up from 10 cents.

They said they have lived through wars: The Depression, and the Civil Rights Era.

But, they said they have no big secret to living love and keeping their marriage healthy.

“I don’t have no secret for that, just be nice to each other,” D.W. and Willie Williams said.

Their grand daugher said she does have an answer because her grandparents are her inspiration.

“It’s communication and loving each other and working together. They are each other’s best friend,” Williams-Greene said.

FamilyMy Wife Is Not Proud Of Me, She Is Just Too Plain, Too Emotionless- Man Shares M by polimaf(op): 3:24pm On Apr 04, 2019
Marriage comes with its ebbs and flows, but it becomes abnormal when a partner knows what is expected of him/her but ignores it.

A Nigerian man has narrated his marriage issues on a Nigerian forum, stating that his wife is not proud of him, starting from their dating days. Mmmmm

The man in his post complained of how she acts weirdly most of the time and said she never posted his photos on social media, even their wedding photos.

In his words:

Hello house, Pls I need mature advice on this issue.
I had to create this account as to remain anonymous.

I’ve been married for 2 years plus, with a son and expecting another.
The problem is that my wife is not proud of me, not proud to be associated with me and does not show excitement concerning me or gifts that I buy for her.. She is just too plain, too emotionless.

It started from our dating days.. We dated for a year plus.. She never wanted people to know about us. Always hiding me. As if the relationship was a secret. She never asked me for a pin.. I was happy she wasn’t the demanding type.

When I proposed to her, I expected her to go over the moon, show excitement and flood social media with pictures.. But no way.

She was just mute and calm about it. She didn’t even accept the idea of pre-wedding pictures when I suggested it.. Said it wasn’t compulsory, she doesn’t have time and energy for that..Few weeks later, she uploaded very beautiful studio pictures of herself alone in nice clothing, shoes, accessories on her facebook timeline without any caption about getting married or love.. Nothing about me at all.

Wedding came… She opted for a small quiet wedding.. Although we could afford a big wedding.. I was surprised.. So unfeminine… Women always prefer loud crowded weddings to show off..

She was supposed to be extremely excited as she was getting married esp at over 30 years when a woman is considered by societal standards to be hopeless and too old for marriage but no! She went about the whole festivities like nothing special was happening to her.

After the wedding, she didn’t upload our wedding pictures on social media like normal women do. I then uploaded few pictures of us and tagged her. She immediately untagged herself and told me I could post whatever I wanted without necessarily tagging her.

Months after, she uploaded 2 pictures of herself alone in wedding gown and traditional attire.. None of mine till date.

She doesn’t have any picture of me or us together on her facebook profile, she doesn’t upload any picture of me or us on her whatsapp. It’s always her picture alone or with our baby or her parents and siblings.

She hardly even takes pictures with me at social functions. She prefers personal pictures. Sometimes, she will even crop me out of her pictures and post only herself. She just keeps going on as if I don’t exist. When I ask her why, she says she doesn’t need to display me online to know she is married to me.

On my birthday, she didn’t wish me HBD on any social media platform but she uploaded pictures of her 2 male colleagues at work(she is a medical doctor, a surgeon in training and planning to relocate abroad soon) and wished them HBD, wrote nice things about them.

Back home, all I got was a small get together, cake, drinks and gifts but I would have preferred to be acknowledged online as well. On her birthday, I dare not show her off or say anything on social media, she won’t find it funny.. She prefers everything we do is private.

The part that breaks my heart is her attitude towards gifts.. When I met her, she was working, earning big, lived alone and had a car.I was happy she wasn’t demanding or greedy…

But I noticed if I buy her something, she just coldly thanks me and that’s all. I am an Architect, working in a firm and also into private jobs.. I recently completed a project and was paid in millions..

I thought I should surprise my wife so I bought her a new car(an SUV)…. She acted so plain.. Just said thank you and that was all.. Instead of displaying it all over social media platforms, write lovey dovey epistles about me and celebrate me like other women do.

By all standards, I am handsome, tall, dark, educated, nice guy, well to do, so why is she not proud to show me off?
Why does she not want me to show her off?

In all fairness, she has been a very nice partner so far but why this cold abnormal attitude ?This is not how women ought to behave.
I am getting tired already,i have discussed this with her but she doesn’t wish to change.
What could be wrong with her?
