If one fly comot, shey the other three for the other tyres fly comot?

It will take an extreme kind of deliberate sabotage or carelessness for that to happen

If one brake pad flies out, the fluid will leak out from that wheel when you press the pedal, so the other 3 will not work.
Excessive wear can make a pad fly out.

Elxandre:
You should have put it in neutral.

Neutral will only put you on free rolling. Engine braking is your best option when all fails. Switch off your engine at the current gear. Make sure not to lock your steering wheel so you can swerve. Your car will slow down much quicker than if you use neutral.

Handbrake was his best option in that case, don't just engage it too sharply.

Yes.

Thank God my car was a manual transmission. I was just accelerating pass 100km/hr when one vehicle suddenly entered my lane in front. There was enough time to brake but I had an SUV right beside me, so I knew changing lanes wasn't an option.
I pressed my brake pedal hard, heard a funny sound on one of my front wheels, then the pedal went extra soft - brakes completely gone!
My Reaction:
Clutched down. Quickly shifted from gear 4 back to gear 2, released clutch almost suddenly. Engine screamed, vehicle slowed down sharply. Repeated that, shifting from gear 2 to 1. Complete slow down.
After regaining control, drove the vehicle another 17km on low speed, alternating between gear 2 and 3, till I found a mechanic. Stopped the car by shifting to gear 1 and switching off engine.

Note
Car was 4 speed manual. My gear 2 can normally reach over 70km/h if pushed very hard to its limit. So changing to it at around 100 was safe enough to not somersault.
Handbrake was already bad, so not an option.

Use my method if you have a manual. But if it's 5 speed or 6 speed gearbox and you're over 100, go to gear 3 first. But anything above 130km/h you should downshift to gear 4 first, before going further down.
If it's automatic with D2 and D3, engage those gears. But if all you have is D, switch off your engine but don't lock your steering, it will slow down gently though you might not have enough time. At least you reduce impact force

If you have handbrakes that work well, apply it gently and make sure it doesn't lock.

The Current hardship is a Culmination of several past government from the era of the Military regime to 1999 democracy government till now. No be Tinubu fault at all.

Eeyah.
I remember when you people were chanting "16 years of rot" in 2015. When will you learn?

Why are you trying to mystify Nigeria's problems. There is absolutely nothing spiritual about our problem. Truth be told.

EVERYBODY WANTS NIGERIA TO BE LIKE ADVANCED COUNTRIES INCLUDING...

Go listen to CHANGES by Tupac Shakur, you'll understand some things.

No matter how good the body is, if the head is not correct (or even mad), it will always direct the body to go to bad or weird places, or nowhere at all.
But is the head is good, no matter how bad the body is, so far it's still alive, the head can find a way to fix/heal that body and take it to its desired destination.

vdestro:
When friends talk is it not voices they use? And this is even outside the fact that you erred in saying that Jesus did not talk to His Father, face to face when He was on earth, whereas i have shown you He did. And that His Father answered back even.

That's not face to face. You've not shown anything. Do you normally speak to your friends loudly from the end of the street? Don't you speak quietly and privately, side by side?

During the transfiguration of Jesus, He spoke with Moses and Elijah face-to-face, because they appeared beside Him. They spoke with Him quietly, not voices from heaven - that's how friends talk, "as man speaks to his friends" (intimately, as in Exodus 33 the OP quoted).

Baba is a mixed blessing for Nigeria.
In some ways, he's the best Head of State ever. In other ways, you just want to blame him for everything.

Na so rebel movement dey start.
Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, East Ukraine... The list is long.

Hope our head is correct in this country?

Pick up a Bible and read the book of John over and over till he comes back.

Who was He talking to when He looked up and Said "Father glorify thy name" and God answered "i have glorified it again and again?

You missed the part "a voice came from heaven". Don't we pray and hear a voice from God?
Note that the OP said face-to-face talk like friends, meaning the presence of God is physically with you in a certain form, here on earth - not over a distance.

Was Moses a Christian? NO!
If that's your criteria then you would have to decide between Islam and Christianity.

Did you read any account of Jesus Christ, the son of God, having a face-to-face conversation with God during his time on earth?
Rather, He was filled with the Holy Spirit and went about doing good, and God's will. He is our role model, therefore, we also should be filled with the Holy Ghost and do God's will.

Go read about Jesus Himself, if you're so much interested in Him.

I have lost confidence in Christians and Christianity, They are hypocrites

Focus on the message, not the messenger.

There is AI phobia in the world now.

Intelligence is merely information and how to use it. Any logical reasoning a human can do, the machine can do it. Humans are only superior because of our massive memory capacity (for now) and our ability to use instincts and esoteric knowledge (soul and spirit)

Headline is a bit misleading. She was charged for calling husband's friends repeatedly, not the husband himself.

A babe once called me 47 times in a space of 1 hour, after I already told her I'd ring back (left the phone charging, unattended). When I eventually got back and called, I broke up with her straight on that call - she was only calling repeatedly because she thought I was ignoring her!
I don't deal with psychos.

Let's rule out nuclear blast first. If that tech existed 600 years ago, it wouldn't have been lost and would be in scientific documents way ahead of Albert Einstein.
Meteor showers seems more probable.

If high GDP doesn't translate to high living standards, seh na low GDP will improve standard of living?

Find out the meaning of GDP per capita. Thank me later.

Depends on what you really want, and who your partner is.

Ronaldo is good, but he's too expensive. He is as expensive to other players as he's expensive to the team's purse.
All other players need to work for Ronaldo to be functional, usually at their own detriment, because he takes all the glory.
But Messi? Messi works for other players to become functional, to everyone's profit.

Inferiority complex is Ronaldo's problem in this case.

OtuologyProf:
As a man, you don't need to say everything before you do anything, even if your words are true. It's a code you can use anywhere to be successful and not just in nakology matters

There's a time to be sly and there's a time to be blunt. In this domain of "nakology" (as you call it), bluntness is your best companion. It turns them into "deer in headlights" if you use it properly.
But what do I know?

Anyways, make sure to set yourself free from the claws of sensuality. One day you'd look back and realize you gained nothing.

Why sneak to put off gen?
Just calmly tell her you need to do other things and she should take her leave and (maybe) you'd like to receive her at another time.

Huh?

You guys don't understand simple things.

nobody can wrestler a good and rich guy from me, we die here..

Lol.
Just remember no one is invincible in this world.
PS there is good number of single rich guys. If you're their type too, they'll notice you.

The same way another madder lady will wrestle that rich guy away from your grasp. Then you will blame the guy.

Slavery mentality.

On the contrary, employees jointly pay the salary of their bosses. Without their input, the boss won't make money. Poor men enrich the rich people.
Suppose all employees of a particular company stopped working for several months, with no none willing to replace them, the bosses will soon start looking for jobs themselves.

The boss employed you because he believes you will contribute far more than what he would ever need to pay you as salary.

Time travel is a phenomena suggested in different ways.
One is to travel to another timeline in the universe. E.g. go back to a past timeline, or go forward into the future. (e.g. Terminator Movie).
Another form is time dilation through space travel. For instance, it is theorized (Einstein) that if you travel at the speed of light for a few minutes, or through a wormhole, hundreds of years might have passed on earth! (e.g. Planet of Apes movie).

Let's get into our story.
At a time on earth, there was a great famine that shook the whole world. Rain ceased for several years. A congress was held, divination was made by the Ifa priest. A sacrifice must be made to Eledumare, the supreme being. But after being prepared, this sacrifice must be taken to heaven by someone.
And that's the problem. It wasn't known if anybody who went to heaven could return back to this world, so nobody wants to carry the sacrifice. Just before all hope was lost, the Vulture volunteered himself. Although he hoped to return, if he didn't, he would have sacrificed himself too.
So the vulture took the sacrifice to heaven - it took him 7 days to get to heaven and present the sacrifice, and another 7 days to travel back. All of the journey was in-between heaven/earth, in the void.
The day he got back to earth, it was raining heavily and he was seriously beaten by rain.
To his dismay, many things have changed, he could not locate his own house. He knocked on several doors, but everyone kept slapping him him on the head and pushing him out back into the rain - no one recognized him, they were disgusted seeing him, he was short, his feathers soaked, dripping wet.

He eventually found himself at the palace. The King and Ifa priest were different people! When he explained himself, they realized he belonged to many generations ahead of that time. His journey of 14 days total was 1,400 years on earth! Apparently, every 1 day of his journey was 100 years on earth!
His legend had been passed generations down, the one who took sacrifice to heaven and never returned. It started raining normally on earth since the day he started his journey into the void. Eledumare answered their prayers the day the vulture departed the earth, and it particularly rained heavily on the anniversary of that day of every year.

Because of this sacrifice, the vulture is considered an untouchable bird in Yoruba culture. You don't kill the vulture. You don't eat the vulture. You don't do appeasement with the vulture. You don't sacrifice the vulture.

The existence of this folktale suggests Africans were not all about religion, but had indigenous science in the past.

Violence.

Most people use what they see on TV to compare, forgetting those are the prettiest of them, along with special make-up on set.

Just like you stay in a public place in Lagos, watching a lot of ladies passing by, all with different levels of beauty, same thing happens if it's a white dominated city. Nothing is special when you see many of them up close.

Don't forget that beauty is mostly subjective.
Two things that might turn off a black man from a white lady:
* Their skin ages much faster, at 40, noticeable wrinkles around the eyes if you look closely.
* When they're slim, hips/butt stay shy. Average weight and there's some belly fat, below the navel. Thick? Don't look at the belly!
* The pale skin colour might look ghostly to you, with bluish/greenish veins underneath (for some).

A white man on the other hand for a black lady:
* Curvy hips, large butts and thick lips might look like a freakshow or caricature.
* Subconsciously, dark skin might not be attractive because dark colours generally mask dirt. It's not racism but basic human psyche.
* Voice. Black people have deeper voice in general. Many black ladies will sound masculine to a white man.

Stating the obvious.

Nigeria is not wired for unseating an incumbent president. The opposition lost the fight on May 29. But never say never, so let's see how it goes...

Going to UK with 3 months baby - that man might not be able to do any full-time jobs for 2-3 years.
Why? Crèches and nurseries are very expensive. If you decide to drop your baby and go to work, the money you'll pay at the crèche will almost match the money you'll make at work. So it's pointless.
At 3 years you get 15 hours weekly free care.

Staying in Nigeria with a 3 months old baby too is not any easy thing. The child will spend its early years in the hands of crèche carers, and will grow up not really knowing its mother.
Besides, that seems like a young family, it's unhealthy to stay that far apart at the moment. Not to mention UK immigration laws might change before the man eventually decides to join her - it could get tough.

They could travel to UK together, the man can take up night jobs a few times a week and/or do weekends, while the wife does day shift. The wife won't be at work 24/7 so they can find a way to work out their schedules.

IkpemhiTG:
Your candid advise is needed...

£30k yearly is not bad for a small family, but with little contribution from the man doing part-time, they will do fine, provided they won't be living in London - that city is damn expensive, and busy like Lagos.
