All works you see here were done with ball point pens by a young Nigerian Artist Oscar Ukonu who hails from Imo state. The artist of the Nelson Mandela hyper realistic pencil drawing. (He prefers BIC to any other brand of Ballpoint pens) Now you can visit his page at www.facebook.com/oscarchuks.arts to see more of his Pen works.

Please check the engine oil fill cover for what it says or check your car manual. I know most toyota from 2003 have recommendation of 5w30.

The mobil xhp you use is 20w50

I dont now the specific quality you may want which ranges from starting from Aba - China - tokumbo - Taiwan - OEM and the prices of the items will fall depending on the quality. Let me assist you with clearer terms of those items.

1. Wheel Hub bearing (price range is wide depending on quality maybe 5-30k each)
2. Stabilizer linkage
3. Tie rod ends (inner or outer)
6. Oil seal but you should have been told which of them is bad because there are several. The usual one that may require taking the engine off the car is the crank shaft oil seal while the camshaft oil seal does not require the engine removal. It may be the cheapest item on the lot while the shock absorber may be the most expensive depending on quality. i dont sell parts so the real price will only come from market survey or those who purchased a similar part of similar toyota recently.

1 thats not a service pack

2 it seems that your suspension is gone

3 he should tell you were the oil is coming from

You are a very dangerous person. It seems you have missed the last 20 years in molecular genetics, molecular epigenetics, systems biology and complex systems and you write from a fundamentally misinformed base. Let’s just get this straight, you don’t understand how genetics works in a developmental context, and that’s a shame because information ONLY WORKS IN A DEVELOPMENTAL context. You have consistently unabashedly demonstrated thaw you fundamentally don’t understand, and rather will not even consider the probabististic nature of developmental processes. Your 5th grade conception of biological processes does not qualify you to possess the opinions you have which is because you write in pop-blog. The only thing that bothers me is that people with even less understanding might read your misinformed opinions and mistake them with a scientific consensus.

Ladies fighting over man attention since the time immemorial

Wrong example sir.

Yes, they fought for his attention.

But only after they were both married to him.
















This goes back to creation when Rachel and Leah fight to get Jacob attention

“AFRICAN TIME”: Who invented this Phrase?

Time is defined as a period considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something.
I want to believe without any iota of doubt that at one instance or the other, you have heard someone mention this phrase “African Time”. Personally I have heard it countless times. In fact, just yesterday, someone sent me a message inviting me for a musical concert which was scheduled to hold at 2:30pm and she ended the message with “no African time please”. This; added to the countless incidences where I have heard people emphasize the No-African-time warning got me thinking: who actually invented this phrase? And why was Africa used to qualify it. Why not American time or European time?

The answer is not farfetched as you will soon find out for yourself.

Humanity; over time has been guided by principles. Principles which dictate their way of life. In fact, these principles are what set some individuals apart from other ones.

In the same vein, the “black man” over the years have often undermined the relevance of time to his own detriment. How so? Look at our technological advancement in “comparism” with the white man. Can you spot any difference? Time and its prudent management is what actually created that difference.

“You do not have all the time in the world”. Am sure you might have heard that before too. Time management whether to a white man or a black man has the same benefit or consequences when utilized or undermined respectively. For instance: waking up and refusing to go about your day’s activities will not halt time by one second, in the same vein, another person has; or thinks he has so much time in the world while another is seeking just 24 more hours to change his world. That is the value and relevance they have found in it.

It is a common scene in this part of our world that occasions scheduled for a particular time usually kick start hours after the scheduled time due to sheer negligence to time.
Our seemingly lackadaisical attitude towards time must have given the first man who took time to observe such a behavior the impression that Africans do not have regard for time yet they have no control over it. We think we should be the ones controlling it yet the opposite happens. You don’t dictate when dawn or dusk should come, when rain, or summer should set in, when to get sick or ultimately when to die. Once your time is up, you’re done. What an irony.

Who knows; maybe it has a contributing effect as to why we are still where we are economically. Maybe shouldn’t have been the world. Am sure it does have its effects as to where you are today. You either have been managing it prudently or carelessly.

I might never get to find out who qualified time this way as it affects us but I am sure to correct the notion that “all Africans have no regard for time”. Most importantly, time cannot be altered for the benefit of any individual that is why 24 hours will not fall by one second for your sake.
Those who have regard for time are always on top of their “games” (ask Aliko Dangote and Mike Adenuga what it means when they lose a minute of their time unaccounted for) and would not allow anyone waste their precious resource for whatever reason. After all “time is money”.

Africans who have regard for time will not wait for 10am before setting out for an event scheduled at 10am. A lecturer or office executive will not wait for 8am before heading to work. (Ignorance is what makes some people call this kind “wicked”.) So you can see that in as much as the “African time” time mentality hold meaning in some lives, it is not all inclusive and has its effects only on those who are yet to find their purpose in life because those who have done so are actively representing their works of life the best way they can.

Our prudent management of time goes a long way in determining who we are so it is high time we shake off the shackles of the presumed negligence of time so “unknown” individual melted on us and make every second of our African life count for something meaningful.
Been fulfilled or unfulfilled is determinant on how well you managed your 24hrs daily which cumulated into your entire life. Africans are hardworking and industrious. Do not ruin our reputation with your cold attitude towards time. Make it count.

One off the reasons you have not received attention on this post is that you have not given the complete details of the required specifications. Another reason is that this kind of question is all over Internet so a little Google search would have given you an idea of what you need.


Well, without going into too much details on the technical differences between UPS and INVERTER/Charger design, I'll attempt a response to your post.

An inverter is what you basically need at home though.

UPSs are designed to do basic back up for few minutes to few hours and are not designed to function as a source of power.
- They are not designed for extended run duration on battery like inverters. Most come with inbuilt battery and you cant extend the bank without damaging the charging unit by putting too much demand on it.
- They are not designed to start higher capacity loads (like electric motors, compressors, etc) beyond their rated power as in the case of inverters.
- Their charging current is always very low which is a very serious disadvantage.
- They have very poor efficiency and as such drains battery very fast even if there is no load.
- Lastly, the input voltage range of a UPS is very narrow compared to that of inverters. So if you have a low voltage the ups will switch will inverters will tolerate to a certain extent.

That's how much I can remember for now.

As such a 4kw inverter/charger will power all your above listed appliances more effectively with fewer batteries than the 20kva UPS.

The back up duration is a function of battery WH which you did not provide and not a function of the UPS power rating.

Hope this helps you

Unionised:
Hello Guys,

I just got a 20kv UPS for next to nothing.

Would you advise i use this at home instead of an inverter?

My energy needs can't be above 2.5kva (and thats if I decide to power my deep freezer, hot plate, pressing iron and washing machine).

A UPS or an Inverter? The Pros and Cons.

And how many hours on full charge can a 20kva UPS carry a load of 2,000 watts?

Advice, anyone?

This is the problem with NAIRALAND YOUTHS/TEENAGERS. They make up the crust of the saTANs with their poor reasoning and research skills. They are the empty heads gej uses to spread his evil agenda, because once you feed them garbage, they give you garbage, just like robots. Even robots can have a mind of their own but these kids dont, because they dont READ and RESEARCH.



so were you thinking the Ige guy was yoruba?
