Pls when we mean LGA, is it the one we are resident in, or LGA of origin?

Some people here are just good at hasty generalization just because of one isolated incident or a preconceived notion passed down to them by a 'previous' generation. Been driving my BMW for years nw...like someone mentioned earlier, d economy is good, affordable parts and all that. When I get another car it will be BMW; wifey... BMW; for my kids, BMW. German machines all the way. TREAT A BMW WELL AND IT WILL TREAT YOU WELL

Don't know about other users though. But like someone pointed out, I think a good maintenance culture is our problem. Cos personally I have been using my BMW with just 'once in a while' minor issues.

Just been facing the same issue here. I have called their call center up to 3 times but all to no avail after following their instructions. Either they don't know their job, or they are just out to ruin us. God pass them

Didn't get an SMS but I logged in and wrote the test successfully (N-health). How do I proceed? I am seeing some stuff about chose device. Can I do that nw? And please what's that about?
Thank you

I just subscribed some 20 mins ago. Still seeing 1.6gb o

Just to throw this into the "mix"... On the guy's screenshots, there is Nov 30, 23:13 (hopefully last yr). While on d lady's Facebook page it reads April 13. Does it mean the conversation happened last yr? And he bookmarked it or something. Cos I am confused a bit. Someone cn enlighten me pls.

Seems many people have not seen PAY IT FORWARD... Really emotional movie

What about BMW?

Please is there any issue if I don't confirm my email and phone no? Cos I just noticed that I had not done that and I have PH already

The car is TOO CLEAN. . . no mud, no sand on the car.
The ground is TOO SMOOTH. . .if we are to believe that the car somersaulted.
The whole thing is a set up

You would end up eating shaft, rather than the protein component inside the beans.

My method:

1. Boil water to 100 degree

2. Pour the beans inside boiling water.

3. Add a lot of Onions

4. Cover it up and Check after 40-45 minutes

5. Add second water, and allowing it to boil for 15-20 minutes

6. Add palm oil pepper and salt and other stuffs you deem fit.

7. Cover it up for another 5-10 min.

8. Stir

9. Call your friends to bring garri and sugar or Butterfield if you are that rich

10. Serve with garii or Bread or Agidi/Eko/Solid Palp! if you're at home

As a Biochemist that have worked on many specie of beans, I would like to humbly debunk this your "shaft" claim. Sifting out the initial cooking water does not deplete its proteinous value ( as the amount is not that significant), rather the process will even help in removing significant amount of antinutrients.
P.S. I would have provided scientific sources. But I dey TM right now
