Car Talk / Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by softy(m): 1:21pm On Sep 03, 2019
larrixauto2017:
Hello sir. If am not mistaken the you have been using the car for the last 10 or 9 month without oil replacement.? Ok good
According to what you wrote you said the mileage is just 3,250.
And the right time for an oil change interval for this car is 5,000 miles or 6month.
I will just tell you this things which are :
1) Check if the car as maintainance required light which indicate when there is time for an oil change.
If the light is working normally and he has not indicate in the cluster. Sir you are good to go. till 5,000 miles
2) And also check the oil light if is not coming up.
3) Check for oil leakage
If there is nothing wrong. You are good to go sir


Thank you for your kind response.

All the conditions in (1), (2), and (3) above are in good terms.

Till this morning, No Maintenance Required Light On, No Engine Oil Light On, No leakage ( no short of engine oil).

For future reference, I will be looking out for those conditions.

Thank you once again.

Question on Toyota Camry 2004 i4

The car was loaded withan Original Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Oil in December 2018.

Since then, the car has gone on long journey only once.

Now, in this September 2019, the engine oil has not been changed. Though the manual recommended 5,000 miles or 6 month, but the mileage reads 3,250 only as it is only used from home to office/church/market daily.

1. please, when do you advice the engine oil should be replaced.?

The oil IS NOT smelling like 'burnt offering' and the level is not short.

2. Would you advise that the car should travel on a long journey once more before the oil change?


Thanks in advance for answering these questions to the best of your knowledge sir.
Family / Re: How Do You Recover Money From A Dead Relative Bank Account? by softy(m): 7:33pm On Jul 03, 2019
nlanded:
First go to a probate registry in any high court, request for a letter of inquiry to mandate the bank to give the deceased account balance. This can be given to one or more family members of the deceased on presentation of relevant documents.

After getting the account balance, the probate registry would issue you a letter of administration.

You bring that letter to the bank and proceed to open an estate account linked to the deceased, you or any other family member would be signatories of the account. All you need to open such an account is 5k for a probate registry search.

The funds from the deceased account would be transferred to the estate account and you/family can do whatever you want with the funds.

The bank where I work you can get all the funds within 2 weeks at most.

PS: Funny how people are talking about next of kin and all, it doesnt matter here when it comes to this, the bank doesnt give a damn who you wrote on your account details as your next of kin, all they respect is the letter of administration brought from a probate registry by any family member. Next of kin on paper is just for formalities.


When the bank as you rightly revealed in ur last addendum know that it is a futile exercise at the long run when one fills in 'next of kin', why the compulsion and unnecessary brouhaha about it everytime one engages such document?.

IMO, it doesn't make sense
Family / Re: Man Stops Paying Daughter's School Fee After She Told Him To Wash Plates by softy(m): 9:57pm On Jun 16, 2019
What a degradation of proper societal values!

How can you ask your own father, the one that jointly produced you biologically to go and do dishes by himself? How can one even think of that nonsense towards your father or mother? Especially African parents!

Even if the father was not responsible for her school fees ab initio, even if the father is most irresponsible in the whole world!


The kind of oscillated mind society is producing now will erode the right to live and let live away, with regrets!


The father in this stories will do more than not paying school fees, especially if the mother is also nauseatingly biased (according to OP and the story)


This is not about feminist, it is about lack of common respect coupled with sound home training.

Education / Re: What's The Highest Score You Ever Got In A Course As An Undergraduate? by softy(m): 9:45pm On Feb 24, 2019
Nosainwe:
really impressive sir! I am motivated
I jst got admission same course
i would appreciate if u give me a heads up
be it tips,materials
especially for a first year student
thanks in advance


Hmmmm, God is ur strength bro.

Where can I start now ooooooooooo....?

OK.

My motivation then:

1. God factor : with God all things are possible.

2. Time factor and Curiousity: how best do u make of ur time.? How well do u want to learn and apply new things to ur current knowledge in engineering or science?

Remember : there is time to read, there is time to relax.

For example: Those days, I could read up to 9 hours non stop but nothing enters my head after 11pm, even when reading for the simplest course subject, taking my time slowly and making sure I understand the problematic page before I move on to the next chapter. Created time to look for more materials apart from the Lecturers Handouts. Created time to peruse through and connect every dots on the I'd of any difficult topics. Created to play football, laughed harder through comedy movies, watched ICT or SciFi movies to open u up for scientific curiousity.

Funny abi? But these funny things made me an OVB student when I graduated.

Note pls: what worked for me may not work for u, because of our individual differences.

2b. Be positively passionate and committed, not emotional but constructively be truthful to the matter at hand - being a successful student.

3. Be humble, learn from others, don't argue unnecessarily. Don't think u are perfect. Yearn to learn new things. Create positive environment for urselves not minding the storms of life that could be discouraging. U need to shine forth. Learn from people mistakes. Mingle with people that u are convinced that are better than u. Teach the little u know to those who know lesser than u.

For Electrical Engineering books:

There are billions of soft copies of Electrical Engineering Books on the internet. Use "wikipedia" to ur advantage all the time.

Learn how to draw and remember Electrical drawings, learn how to remember formulas without mincing them. Learn how to meditate on those formulas, this helps slot. Don't cram, u will forget and develop unnecessary headache, at the long run.


Finally, Continuos Assessment is usually 30 marks or 40 marks as the case may be or based on the course lecturer. While exam could be 70 or 60 marks respectively.
Be strategic. Strive 22/30 or 28/40 or more, if not everything in CA.

For exam strive to have 48/70 or 42/60 or more, if not everything.

Target to always high marks in 3 unit courses.
Target not to have low marks in 2 unit courses.
Avoid carry over or repeated course always.
Don't have over confidence attitude, it results to outright failure.

When u are getting the crown little by little, don't be proud..... Help people solve mathematical problems. Be crazy about mathematical manipulations because it cuts across all ur courses in engineering apart from GST courses.

Solve a lots of past questions.Be highly resolved about this, please.

Get a further mathematics texbook to understand the rudiment of calculations in courses.

Get Engineering mathematics 1 and 2 for easy mathematics calculations.

Above all, determine and be focus, to have a very good and excellent grade, then the Good Lord will add better values to ur secret hardworks.


Thank u sir. God bless u. We will meet at the top.

Nobody has it all. God will make u successful in the journey.

Yes u can be the best of what u are!

By the grace of Almighty God, I saw this thread 2 minutes ago.

Precisely, last week of January 2019, I sat down in my office, while my colleagues were discussing the election matters, I felt in my spirit that I should tell them that "the election will be postponed". I told them all and it happened . To God Be the Glory.

Crime / Re: What We’re Doing To Officers Involved In Live Footage Killing Of Citizen–custom by softy(m): 3:25pm On Feb 19, 2019
franchasng:
Most of the officers that perpetrate these brutal cold blood killing of civilians using guns provided to them by the Nigerian government are Hausa-Fulani officers; they are usually brutal whenever they are working in the Southern part of Nigeria.

The truth is, if not for Yoruba people's love for betrayal and selling out of other Southern Nigerians to Hausa-Fulani in order to get some crumbs that fell of northern dominated Nigerian government, there is nothing that ought to bring Southern Nigeria together with Northern Nigeria because Northern Nigerians don't value human life, they love poverty and are religious extremist who sacrifice human capital development for ancient religious doctrines and practices angry

Yoruba people are the single reason the north take we southern Nigerians for granted, all because of useless favors they ought to get by merit in a functional country (for instance, just because they want Osinbajo to become next President, they are foolishly supporting a terrorist to rule them again without asking if they will be alive to witness the fake promise, its depressing to be in one nation with foolish, selfish, backstabbers and backward thinking lunatics angry ), yet they claim to be sophisticated my foot angry sad

I warned Atiku to give Yorubas VP slot, Atiku should have picked a Yoruba VP so that Yorubas can be happy and not vote the terrorist again just because they want VP.

Atiku ought to have known that Igbos would have still voted for him en mass even if he picked Yoruba VP, all Igbos want is a safe, prosperous Nigeria free of tribalism, religious extremism, terrorism, incessant killings and tyranny, Igbos don't care who becomes the President so long as its not a tribal-religious terrorist, Atiku if u eventually lose the election, blame yourself angry angry

My brother, you don't need to be tribalistic before u make sense in ur comment.

Yes the incident was very bad, but in every community, there are bad eggs and good ones.

One advice, u really need to be objective in ur disposition.

Grow up sir.

sooperrescue:
We have it on good authority that Total is introducing the Quartz 9000 5w30 Onios to cater for the teeming motorists that have been yearning for good oil. The Dexron 6 ATF will also be available in July this year. Once I get the data specs I will share, especially for the transmission fluid. They also advised motorists not to use any other oil from their stable for the service requirement of the new generation Peugeot cars except the new entrant as the older oils will destroy the engines. Pushing hard for quality oils. I am still waiting for the response from MRS lubricant Manager.


1. Pls, is this Quarts 9000 available in the market now? and how much? Is it suitable for Camry 2004?

2. For Camry 2004, is there any alternative to Mobil 1 5W 30, and 10W 30 presently available in the Nigerian market.

Note: Manual recommended is specifically 5w30 and variably 10w30.

honourable356:
Youngzubi stop messing up a nice plot with the impossible. I mean,you see how real everything is until you suddenly got to the secret agent side of the story...

*****the red guy fly up from wia im bin stand,for air he release multiple bullets within seconds all oga frank men from a to z full ground as the red guy land stand for ground gawwam!! with the two golden pistol for im hand*******



Unless they were few other people recruited by the said secret agent, it is quiet impossible for one person in the "open" to successful gun down to the head more than ten men all armed to the teeth and standing at different position...with just two pistol and with an undeniable accuracy.

Haba!!!!

This is over exaggeration.... even Jack baeur can't do this and neither can any special force soldier perform such stunts. It is not possible to shot many people down while in the air with just two pistol to the extent that by the time you land,you have successful killed them all with a bullet to the head. Haba nah!!!!

Wait,wait,wait a minutes...are you in a hurry to finish the story? Then you are making a mistake..a big one.

Why rush??
Calm down....
Give detail description that will get your audience nodding firmly in agreement.

Indeed you can do it...it is just a matter of time before you get it right.
Be rest assured that i will be on your neck every now and then until you give me no reason to object repeatedly.

Ride on!


Live and let live bro. He has taken ur advice in good faith. This is a story for fun not for academic purpose.

This is how Hollywood started..... Not every post needs to be criticised. Thank you for all ur points.

I have a degree in Information Systems Sciences and I applied for MSc info tech would I still be given Admission to study this course?

Just checking through this thread today, then I saw ur mention.


First, Information System Sciences sounds like a branch of Computer Sciences, in my own opinion. So u are in line to study Information Technology.

Second, it depends on the class of degree u got as a result in 'that' course.

First Class to Second class upper has sure entry.

Based on the instruction as an entry requirements put up by the school at that point in time u wish to apply or based on the discretion of the course adviser, 2.2 may be considered or not.

3rd class must go for pgd before masters.



Thirdly, if u are really serious about this application, go to any nearest NOUN Study Centre, close to u. Then make ur enquiries at the reception. Or, go through their admission requirements seen online or on the school notice board.


I wish u God's speed.

By God's grace, it will end well.

Hello Fam,

My wife already applied for a PGD programme in info tech at NOUN. She has 2.1 in computer science for her first degree.

Would she be considered and offered admission as she only needs the certificate in pursue of a targeted dream?

I have read somewhere that PGD is only for candidates with below 3.0 CGPA and 1st class and 2nd class Upper might not be considered. How true?


Based on my experience, ur wife is eligible for Masters in Information Technology in NOUN.

Why would she opt for PGD?

She has 2.1
She studied computer science
Info Tech is a branch of Computer Science
She has so much advantages to pull through MSc in IT.

She would be offered the admission, whether PGD or MSc in IT. Unless the o level result is not OK.

If she hasn't fill the form for the pgd, MSc would be the best shot.

Best regards to ur lovely wife, bros.

Wakanda Nonsense be this
Your wedding is a special day,its a day to look beautiful and be in your finest appearance!!!
Wedding should be lavish and tasteful, it involves finances!!
Wedding is not just about saying "I Do",it has more meaning than that.
How can someone be looking like this on her wedding day?
I bet she isn't even wearing shoes!!
If they can look so haggard and poor on their special day,then I wonder how they will be able to cloth their kids!!

The more you look, the less you see.

Natural beauty, combined with modesty, garnished with simplicity of mind and fear of God is golden.

Most of what you said about the wedding day being her day, is the old lies non graceful women had been fed with.

Real Christian Women are a 'box of inner beauty, which radiates outwardly' always.

A word is enough for the wise!
