Family › Should Parent's Stop Financing Their Daughter Because She's Getting Married? by silvoice(op): 8:45am On Dec 03, 2014 |
At what stage do you think a man should take full financial responsibility of his fiancee? A scenario is playing out somewhere where his marriage to this lady has been fixed and both family is preparing for the occasion. the problem is that her father has stoped financing her academics to the extend that she's considering droping out of school. Do u think is just for d fiancee to take full responsibility now, though he's yet to complete the marriage process or jus surport his girl until she become his wife? That's why, i ask : Is it right for parent's to stop financing their daughter because she's getting married? |

Costee: Hm. Yes, with our well laid out (beautiful) roads, the more reason that your should heed the theory of the experts. that is theory for d gods. For me, my new tire must be in d front. (If i want 2 behave lik naija drivers, i change only one. D new one must be at d driver's side. Then d worst of all d tires become my spear tire). that's naija method. |
Car Talk › Re: Tire Issue: What's Your Opinion On This? by silvoice(op): 2:05pm On Nov 23, 2014 |
AutosBay: When replacing only 2 tires the new ones should always be installed on the rear axle, ESPECIALLY when the car is FWD. The reason being is that if you lose traction at the rear axle your chances of losing control of the vehicle and having a serious accident are dramatically greater than if you lose traction on the front tires.
The "age-old-wisdom" was based primarily on the idea that on a FWD vehicle the front tires wear faster. So what? Is it better to even out treadwear or not wrap yourself around a tree? To a lesser extent it was also based around the idea that the front tires do most of the braking and all of the turning and thus should have the best traction but as the links below show vehicle stability is more important and that is imparted by the rear tires, not the front. Also, people like to have "traction" in snow but what they really mean is acceleration, not traction per se. If you've ever driven down a highway in the winter during a blizzard and noticed all the cars in the ditch they all have a common characteristic - you are looking at their headlights. They all went into the ditch backwards, meaning they spun out due to a loss of traction at the rear tires.
It is the policy of most major tire manufacturers including: Goodyear, Dunlop, Pirelli, Continental, Cooper, Bridgestone/Firestone, Michelin, etc that 2 new tires go on the rear. Most tire stores now are adhering to this policy. Avoid those that don't. this is theory. If u are in Nigeria, with our beautiful roads, wil u put ur best tires at the back and fix 10 yrs and above tire in d front and be pushing 140k/h |

CityNG: Regardless of the source, I follow my own path and do my own thing based on my own experiences even if it goes against the norm or against "experts".
Sometimes I'm wrong but it's the way we learn as humans.
I never ever buy a pair of tires and always buy in fours so I've never had to test my theory personally.
PS: Just look at how many things we do in a day that goes against what experts says but we use our own individual judgement.
1) Crossing roads without using crosswalk
2) Going faster than the speed limit
3) Eating raw fish
4) Having unprotected sex
5) Getting married
List goes on and on. Lol. Nice one |

Car Talk › Re: Tire Issue: What's Your Opinion On This? by silvoice(op): 1:04pm On Nov 23, 2014 |
CityNG: You should always change both tires on any on axle at the same time and the best tires should go on to the steering axles.
The idea is that with nodder engineering a blow out on the rear can be more easily handled than on the front. Additionally a read slide might be an inconvenience but a frontal slide could be disastrous.
When you loose grip on our rear wheels you mostly stay in your lane but a front wheel slide guarantees that you'll leave your lane.
All that being said I change all my four tires at the same time, it's cheap insurance and no matter what you drive or how awesome your car is, the tires are the final contact with the road and the deciding factor on how good of a experience that you'll have.
I just bought for brand new tires for a vehicle that may not even be under it's own power for a year - $200
https://quicksilvercars.villageheadmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_2005.jpg exactly my idea. So this tire experts online are wrong or what? |
Car Talk › Tire Issue: What's Your Opinion On This? by silvoice(op): 11:17am On Nov 23, 2014 |
Tire experts advise that car owners should change all 4 tires at the same time when they want to replace their tire, or 2, if they can't offset d bill for 4 tires at a time. They also recomend that d 2 new tires be placed at d rear for a reason. Now my question is, if one experiences tire burst on highway it's more dangerous if it's d front tire, so why should i put my two new tire at d rear: what's your opinion on this? |

Ishilove: Once he has paid her bride price and done other requirements, she becomes his wife. The rest is just formality. I don't even know where it is written that a couple must wed in church. All these man made laws are just complicating life for us.
The man should tell the lady to stop visiting him until they conduct the church ceremony because her constant presence close to him is putting him under unnecessary pressure. stop visiting? That's truly difficult to do, as she may start thinkin dat he's havin an affair with another girl. |

lomomike: Conversion from mm to inches.
Note: 1 inch =2.54 cm. And we are dealing with mm not cm Hence, 25.4 but we know 225/60 is mm. And 60 is the sidewall. Which is 60% of 225. Am I understood? To convert every digit there into inch we use the 25.4 but we make it a whole 4 decimal digit. Hence, 2540.
Now 2540X2 comes in to play. cheers!!! Man, u just reminded me of prof. Ben with his simble but long maths. U're on point bros. |

Car Talk › Re: Do-it-yourself (diy) by silvoice(m): 9:34am On Oct 22, 2014 |
FreePath: ...diy...
1. Start simple.
Start with the easiest repairs first. Don't dive right into rebuilding your transmission. You'll gain confidence, learn how to use tools, and begin to understand how everything fits together on your car.
Here are some great repairs for the weekend mechanics; Change Wiper Blades Replace Air Filter Replace Headlight Replace Battery Replace Spark Plugs Change Oil Replace Belts
If you're undertaking a repair that's not on this list and you're just getting started, at least make sure it's a repair that doesn't require you to lie on your back, deep underneath your car.
If you do have to jack up your car to get underneath it, under no circumstances should you use the flimsy jack that came with the car. And never, ever get under your car, unless it's supported by appropriate jack stands.
Finally, when you're getting started, try to avoid repairs that involve squeezing yourself into an uncomfortable position, which can make a repair more difficult.
2. Avoid repairs with dire consequences.
Try to avoid repairs or service work where the consequences of a mishap are great. For example, don't try to replace your brake master cylinder or fuel line on your first repair. You could end up crashing into a plutonium tanker or worse still, you might even wreck your engine.
3. Get the tools you need.
Before you start ripping apart your car, go out and get a set of tools, including:
A complete set of socket wrenches, including swivel sockets with extensions of various lengths and angle accessories A complete set of flat and ring spanners/wrenches The usual screwdrivers, pliers -- and especially, a good set of vise grips.
I also think the most important tool to DIYer is scan/diagnostic tool (even if it is basic one). I will specially address this later.
Whatever special tools are necessary for the job you're contemplating. For example, a special tool is necessary to remove the oil filter, and another for the spark plugs. And in both cases, there are different sizes of tools. So take a look first and find out what you'll need.
No matter what tools you buy, you still won't have all the tools you'll need. So, my final piece of advice is to start your repair early. That way, the parts store will still be open when you head down there looking for that special tool you need.
4. Do a little homework.
Do some homework before you plunge into a repair. It just might save you a lot later. Buy the manufacturer's shop manual for your vehicle, and read up on the repair.
Here's a reason why it's important to do your homework:
Imaging you have already bought the parts to be replaced in your vehicle. You later got the manual and looked closely, you then noticed that step 1 said, "remove engine." No kidding.
So, do your research first! You may even seek help from educated car forums like this.
5. See one before you do one.
The best way to learn is to work with someone who knows what he or she is doing. If you're undertaking a repair you've never even seen done before, it's reasonably likely that you'll screw it up -- or, at best, you'll do it the hard way. My advice? Operate on the same principle that medical schools use: see one, do one, teach one. Play it safe.
6. Don't be ashamed to ask for help if you screw up.
It happens. Don't be shy about calling your regular mechanic. Tell him you screwed up your repair and need a question or two answered. If he's a nice guy, he'll take pity on you and attend to you.
Don't take advantage of your mechanic, however. Remember that he's probably extremely busy, so be patient with him.
A final word of advice. If you really screw up, and have to take your car to your mechanic, don't try to cover it up. Confess. I can tell immediately when a customer has tried to hide a repair gone awry. Everyone makes mistakes, strips bolts, and blows parts up. It happens. It may take a few years, but eventually, you'll even laugh about it.
7. Safely dispose of the toxic crud that will come out of your car.
After you're done with your repair, it's possible you'll be left with used coolant, motor oil, brake fluid, or other toxic materials. You'll need to dispose of it safely. u are a good son of ur father. A novice lik me is dancing dorobucci on this info. Thanks man |

bigass: She just lack basic knowledge. Once the bride price is paid and accepted and the Father has handed her to him as his wife then they are married. White wedding is is just ceremony. Before the advent of Christianity people got married traditionally. However she believes the marriage is not complete until the white wedding... you should understand with her because many people do not know her bride price has been paid. @all thanks for ur concern. D conflictin opinion here shows dat it's not as easy as some think here. It's a moral issue btw two moralist. He would find a way to adjust if he fails to convince her on it. D good thin is dat all other aspect of her behaviour is perfect. At least so he think. |

Op why did you post this in family section? You would have gotten saner and religious advise in religion section. 50% commenting don't have a clue what a christian marriage entails or its significance nor do they care. Following their advice, the way am looking at them it remains for them to tell you to rape her. Na waoh. u did made some point, but he himself believed that they are legally married and wedding only serve as official presentation and blessing of the mariage. If you think otherwise, why would even his pastor refer to her as mr. B...'s wife? |
