Please do you and let others do themselves. No one should superimpose what he does on the next person and no one should claim superiority in what he or she does. As our faces differ, so do our stories, wants, needs, aspirations and motivations. In every facet of life, there are successes and there are failures.


Peace.

Square peg in a round hole.
What does an officer from a corrupt organisation like the police know about national security? He didn't even get to the apex like IGP where you can say he was privy of information nationwide about security. The efcc job he was given was not even done well as he turned to an agent used by government to hound opposition politicians. Nuhu Ribadu does not worth that position.

Ofcos it is worse. Your 8.5mpg is poorer than his 13.1. And your highway ought to be higher than city mpg. That's how it should be ideally.
I made a mistake in the whole thing jare.
My car shows liter for every 100km. On the highway, I get 8.5 and sometimes 8 liters for every 100km.

While city drive, I get between 13 liters for every 100km to 17 sef.

The error is from me.

Car TalkRe: Advise Needed About Smoking Toks Engine by vivalavida(m): 12:37pm On Jun 12, 2023
SmokingEngine:
I guess I'm not really lucky with cars. I always run into problem with cars.

My car was working fine until one day my mechanic spoiled my car for me.

It all started one Sunday when my 2006 honda accord start missing firing. The misfiring cause some vibration and I managed it like that that Sunday until it started making a kind of noise when you start the car from a cold start.

I took the car to my mechanic who only start his guess work. From one suggestion to another, no result until he said the noise is from the Valve.

My engine has never been open before so I never wanted to open it all until I finally agreed. He told me opening the top engine is not the engine itself but I already knows that once an engine is open the life always never remain the same.

He opened the engine and said he will grind the valve. Also he said he will replace about 8 value. Total money I spent was 70k.

After he finished the car started smoking heavily. It was an heart attack to me.

They said it was because they newly work on it. That I should first use it for some time that the smoke will clear.

I burnt full tank driving the car in town yet the smoke didn't stop.

I take it so several people some said the smoke is white so it doesn't look like a rings . Others said it's rings some said my mechanic opened the engine want it still hot.

As last result i was advised to change oil and take the car to express and march it. I did just that and took the car to express road. I use speed to tear the engine to see if it will stop the smoking. During the aggressive speed the car overheated severally before the engine knocked.

I had to tow the car and took it to another mechanic someone directed me to. The plan was to buy another engine but many people advised me to work the engine. I should first check the old engine to see if it's just ring and mental. So I agreed.

When they opened the engine. It was the mental that cause it to knock. But the problem was that it affected the crankshaft. When I saw that it affected the crankshaft I make enquiry for the crankshaft price to make my calculations but many people said I should buy new engine if crankshaft is involved. Some people also warn me to repair my engine starting that toks engine are mostly sarvage engine. And majority of them are not even direct toks but engine that they work. Because I got people that was readily available to buy my old engine.

But I have heard many stories from engine ringing how it never last beyond 6 months. So I counted my lose and sell my old Engine...

I run around to find money. I wanted to buy my engine in my start of residence because I was afraid buying from Lagos if anything should happened it will be easy to go about it here than Lagos. But my mechanic said Lagos is where I will get better one and cheaper price. The price wasn't really cheap if you factor in the transport. But I just had to go with him.

I gave him the money he contacted the person he knows from Lagos. The man also called me. I told the man to give me a good engine he said it's confirmed engine.

When they brought the engine. I saw sluge inside the engine. I was really disappointed. I was contacting the man from WhatsApp he will read my message but not reply. I called him and called him he will not pick the call.

People and my mechanic told me it's but sluge that some engine come like that and they work fine.

What can I do at that moment when I already spend over 30k to transport the engine. So I allow them to put it first. I told them I will not buy new oil. Because that my old oil I bought it that same day that my engine knocked. And because of the sluge inside the engine they should put the old oil.

The engine runs well and very silent. If you stand next to it you won't even know the engine is on. My old engine was silent too but this one is more silent.

The exhaust was throwaway smoke. But they told me to drive it that the smoke will clear. it was because of my old engine that smoke. We noticed another problem as there small oil on radiator water.

The smoke refuse to go. And engine short oil. There is oil on The bottom plate. Mechanic has trace the oil from the Valve seal between the flywheel.

The problem are
1, top gasket
2, oil seal.
This ones are minor problem but the engine will need to come down to solved the oil leaking, and the top engine will need to be open to solve the gasket issue.

The biggest problem is the smoking. The engine man is saying that I should change the gasket and still drive the motor for a while, that the smoke will stop and everything will be okay.

Even my mechanic is saying if you buy a smoking engine. The highest the seller will do is to change the rings. He said it's used engine and not new engine.

What do you suggest I do. Thanks
Is this @AutoManual?
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by vivalavida(m): 10:54am On Jun 11, 2023
remi4ever:
I'm encountering difficulties with my 2003 Honda Accord Euro. When I park the car for a long period or start it in the morning, it struggles to reverse or climb steep hills.

Sometimes, it even turns off while attempting to climb, but if I immediately turn it back on, it manages to climb the hill. I've already cleaned the throttle body, and the spark plugs are relatively new, although I'm unsure about their quality. Despite recently changing the fuel pump, which helped for a while, I've started noticing the problem again within three months. When I clean the fuel pump housing, I often find debris, indicating dirty fuel.

It's frustrating because when I join the road from a bend, the car has trouble accelerating unless I restart it. I have a 2003 Honda Accord Euro. What steps should I take to address these issues?
Scan first. That is the first thing you have to do.

PoliticsRe: Osun Governor's Wives In A Show Of Shame - Watch Viral Video by vivalavida(m): 9:17am On Jun 07, 2023
SojWORLDWIDE:
THE piece below was written by one Adedamola Adetayo with accompanied viral video where the wife of the Osun State Governor, Ngozi Adeleke was seen exercising her authority.  The video was tagged, "Osun State Governor's wives in a show of shame."

Ngozi holds Ademola Adeleke in Osun and Betty Anyawu holds Arakunrin Akeredolu in Ondo by Adedamola Adetayo.
Ordinarily, it shouldn't have meant anything.
I wouldn't have been so much bothered if these women were Ijaws, Ibibios, Efik, Igala, Urhobos or even Kanuris.

But you see the IGBO WOMAN, even if she's blind or not that kind of ZIONIST person, which is very rare, her IGBO KINSMEN will impress it upon her that she is the "ESTHER" that God has appointed for them in THAT LOCATION.

That is their mindset.
Today, If you bother to go to Osun and Ondo Government houses and Civil Service now, you will be surprised what you will find.

They will be sprawling with Igbo people while qualified Yoruba people of those states won't have the opportunity or less opportunities than the igbos.

A man like Ademola Adeleke isn't even Yoruba in the real sense of it.
He is Yoruba only in his name and blood.

You couldn't find the Omolúàbí traits in him and that is why he dances about like a nuisance.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT A NON-IGBO, WHICHEVER TRIBE, YORUBAS ESPECIALLY, will enjoy in IGBO LAND A HUNDREDTH of the opportunities the igbos enjoy in Yoruba land.
I can say it anywhere.

Now, go to Anambra and ask if Margaret Obi EVER IN HER LIFE enjoyed this kind of Ngozi Adeleke influence in Anambra State when her husband, Peter Obi was Governorhuh??

Then compare Margaret Obi to Ebele, the very garrulous wife of Willy Obiano, Obi's successor.


I don't even need to check, I can sit down in my house in Abeokuta to imagine it.

What you will surely find is that while Ebele was going about with so much influence, constituting nuisance everywhere, Margaret Obi was almost totally away from public scene.


It's not because Obi did anything honourable but because Margaret is NON IGBO from Cross Rivers State and wouldn't dare parade herself over Anambra people!

Do you also know that TODAY, if anything happens to Ademola Adeleke or Arakunrin Akeredolu, their WIVES will almost SINGLE-HANDEDLY determine what happens next to their late husbands estate?


But if anything happens to Peter Obi TODAY, do you know that Margaret Obi is on GOD'S GOOD HUMOUR?

She WON'T EVEN DARE to open her mouth in the ANAMBRA family of her husband. She will surely be humiliated.


I say it without fear of contradiction
That is just how far these people take others for FOOLS!!!
i know these things!!!

I remember when I started this hussle, Bolt commission was 15% and I usually Net 10k daily. But fast forward to today, commission is 25% and I am netting 20k to 30k daily.
If it's by increasing commission that I will earn more, then they should continue increasing the commission o.
Indrive that is 10% isn't giving me more profits. I have said it before, their commission is not my business but what enters my pocket.
What was the value often naira to the dollar when it was 15% compared to the value of the naira when it was 25%?
This will help you know if you are actually earning more as you think.

Good evening esteemed car gurus.
My car a Toyota Corolla 2010 automatic transmission model is having serious gear issues.

It started when I took it to mechanic to change gear box cop and shaft because of the noise it makes and constant vibrations. After changing all these the car started having sluggish movement, skips and de-accelerates on motion. At times when I pedal on motion it will be as if no gear was engaged until it picks. I was advised to change the gear oil, clean filter and plugs which I have done but the issue still continued. Pls car experts what could be the cause of this problem and where can I fix it in Abuja.

Thank you.
