I guess its different cultures of the worl am zimbabwean, its taboo for a mother in law or even your own mother to sleep on the bed/room you share with yo wife

Wife and husband in there bedroom, the mothers share the guest room, If mother in law sleeps in the bedroom it would hard for her to walk to bathroom during the night, son in law is sleeping, if husband’s mother sleeps in the living room it might create a case of favourism why mother in law has the guess house.

None of the two mothers cant complain of favourism if they share the guest house and none should cry for personal space as the house has less rooms to accordate each in their own private rooms

In my culture the 1st child is usually born at the wife’s home, i guess the idea is to avoid such scenario,

On the 2nd child usually the wife would have enough exprience to manage on her own or a younger sister or cousin would come to help her

Most people are failing to address the issue directly i think its due to the fact that the guy is fellow country men, i say worse case scanario which is common among western african, changing names due visa issues. 1 uses his original name to apply to visa to uk for an example s/he get denied due to forgery and gets banned to apply for next 10 years. The next step is to ger another passport most likely with the same name but different surname and date of birth

A very common practise, however it might not true on this guy but the chances of being true are high. Its something that he would told his wife long back, than him being asked about it when wife saw something from the old pictures. They might culture differences but during the 8 years he has never mentioned the changing of family names,

Is it really the horn or alarm ?

Does the car have fob central locking ?

FRoosevelt:
Which do you value most?

I wouldn't mind not being loved, but i need total respect from people i deal with and in the relationships i have.
Respect shows that people admire and acknowledge your abilities and contributions and therefore, treat you in an appropriate way.
Love on the other hand, is just a natural affection which is totally random and most times shortlived.

So, what about you?? which would you prefer? Being loved or being respected?

Let's have a debate.

You dont request for respect “Need”, respect is not demanded, its a two way street in a mutual understanding of each, the moment you NEED respect it more like forcing to be respected, respect is given. You dont call for it, it is given

I rather be loved, being loved means there is also respect in it

At that age i would bother feeding them, when there are real hungry they would come to eat or ask for food

So ppl still use manual car, I can't accept a manual car in 2018.
Maintenance cost of automatic is very low too, just use d right oil n it will last year's esp if it is Toyota

If you didnt know mainly north america has 98% of its car as automatic, europe and most of the world its manual

If also look most of your cars in nigeria are american spec hence big engines and being auto

America spec car doesnt represent the world as in saying who drive manual in 2018

If you cant afford the best oil for your car then sale the car a buy a bicycle

Cheap oil means short life for your engine

miccodb:
ikenna u are correct all the way but i dont agree with you in totality when u say the engine will always run cold. there is never a time when the engine runs cold due to otto cycle in the chambers as u know the qtty of heat that accompanies combustion so i prefer u say the engine would run at a little lower temperature so if this happens then the cylinders are not flooded persay with gas and air because the temperature drop is not so remarkable that will cause the ecu to spray excess fuel like ur painting. if that car consumes notieabbly more fuel than normal then i want to belive there is more to it than just removal of thermostat. if a car runs with thermostat at about 90 degrees celcuis then i can confidently tell u that without thermostat it would still run at about 70 degrees celcuis which is not as cold as u are painting.so i cant agree with u totally on the running cold without thermostat.t-stat was originally meant to combat lower temp running in countries with really low temps and cold regions where liquid is required to remain within the egine walls until it is getting overheated then expelle for fresh one to come in from the radiator which now cools the now hot liquid coolant. bearing this in mind then we can easily see the motive isnt too effective in hot regions like nigeria where average temps soar to around 40 degress in the north. so if u analyse this technically i can guarantee u that as soon as u crank your engine in such temperatures it would take less than a minute for liquids to get heated beyond operating temperatures and ready to be exchanged with that in the radiator. so as u run your engine hotter in such area der comes a coincidence peroid when the thermostat is virtually open all the while and all fans blowing because theres really no weather support for the cooling and liquids in both radiator and around engine walls are operating at optimum temps so the t-stat just remains open and since the width of opening of the t-stat isnt as wide as the whole passge then there is lack of proper scavenging and supply of liquids which may ultyimately lead to overheating. so the most important thing is not just understanding the technology but also understanding what the technology was supposed to combat so u can work around when it fails to suit you.
ultimately ikenna there are times when u may need to tropicalize a car buy removing a thermostat without effect to overall performance. poster should check well abg no be thermostat dey make him car chop fuel. i love this forum. so much knowledge to gain. keep it up all.

You are all saying the same, its all that you all used different words meaning the samething, in the motor world when a car temp is below 85 degrees celcius its said to be running COLD
Thats the most used word to discribe a car running below operating temperature is usuall 85 & 90.
Then as for tropicalise there is nothing like that, thats for bush mechanic who do not know how the cooling system works let me give you different scanarios in Alaska no matter how cold it get the engine coolant in engine will still reach 90 degrees when being driven. Then same in nigeria engine temp will still reach 90 degrees no matter how hot is nigeria. That wont affect the engine aslong the radiator, fan, temp sensor & thermo are working.

Warm/hot climate only has an advantage of starting a car in low temp of the morning as 1 battery wont need much voltage for the starter becoz there is no much resistance very cold temperatures make mental very tight.2 due to warm/hot temps oil quickly goes to the right place faster but these applies to both sub standards & full original oil. Standard/genuine oil can cope with very low temps hence numbers like 5w30. Wrong type of affects how a car starts in cold temp. Oil tends to be more thick when exposed to low temps oil therefore its more longer to get to the right places meaning there is more wear and tear to parts(in very cold climate people have installed heaters on the car for the engine oil) thats another topics on its own but useless for africa climate

Taking off the thermo and running the fan you are making the car run cold meaning the ECU keeps on putting more fuel to the ratio becoz it wants the car to reach operating temperature. So your engine will get worn out quick, even the oil wont be operating at its maximum protecting temp. Operating temperature and fuel effiecent are related and operating temperature and how your engine might last or loose some hp are related

Whether Sebria or Saudi arabia, the temperature of a fully intact operating engine will be 90 regardless off the outside temperature and the thermo will open and fan kick in to cool down the engine temps to remain within 90 whether its cold or hot outside

You said taking off the thermo wont affect the overall perfomance, the truth it does but unfortuantely for african even a push start is taken a fully functioning car, my point is what is regarded as fully working car or non affected perfomance in europe and america vrs african arw things that are world apart

IjeleNwa:
You Asked him to Use Protection Because you ain't Ready for a Baby but he says he prefers it Bumper to Bumper because that's where the Sweetness lies and now you got pregnant, he Gives You money for Abortion.
No problem, my sister take the money and do some shopping for your baby and when the baby is born ,hand him over to him to do the killing himself,you can't just turn a murderer for a man who is not capable of handling his responsibilities

Say No To ABORTION!

You never can tell .... It might be your only fruit.

Be wise.

Awon abortion crew!

Sure you would be stupid too, to let him sleep with you without protection, when even yourself you are not ready to be a mum, use protection too there are more contraceptives methods for women than for men, why leave the full responsibility to a man , when you can also protect yourself without him putting at the risky when are not ready

Sometimes people can be blind in reasoning

Are all those kids circumcised few weeks after birth or whatever, can they be called non virgins simply becoz the foreskin got cut ?

With my reasoning the virgin is still a virgin she has never has any penetratiton sex with a man

I think those boys who want to see blood after having sex with virgin are vampires��

And also there are amatuers as, bloold is also a sign that the girl is wasnt relaxed hence muscles were tight,

Most girls says 1st encounter was painful simply becoz of few factors that one would know as they later know themself sexually eg half of the time the guy never really make the girl feel comfortable and relax hence her body is also tense, remember most girls have heard that the 1st is painful so as man your 1st just is make her relax mentally and sexually get the pussssy very wet but half of the its becoz we dont have time. You would have got a room from a friend’s it has to be done quickly (poor girl)

abiolert:
very possible

being a virgin

has different definations

some consider break the hymen as being a virgin so in her case your broke it through sports

but still she is a virgin becoz she has never been penetrated

so she is still a virgin

Except the Bugatti Chiron will run out of fuel in 10 mins going full speed.

how many miles would it have covered in top speed?

how long takes it take to refill the tank and tesla how long does it take to full recharge

the cars belong to two different worlds

mayor2013:
Guess he is talking about his Trip i.e Trip A to monitor his next engine oil change. @ "op" there is a thin like knob right in front of your instrument cluster. Press it and it xhanges to trip a when on trip a hold it down to change to zero

but one can accidentally press it

Newboss:
You're obviously ignorant of the fact that you are just buying a name, "Bugatti". Just look at the specs and thank me later.

you dont know super cars

tesla is not a supercar

let me break it down using the number given

yes a tesla can do 1.9s 0-60mph but can it maintain the speed after that ? No

tesla range is 620miles but it wont be on top speead buggati will 286miles at top speead

check this video


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4CnSS4OG4A

tesla is quick to take off but cant maintain the speed

Davidlanny:
Hello house,

Please how do I reset toyota camry 1996 speedometer back to zero so I can be monitoring
the engine oil change time

speedometer measures speed when you are driving

then odometer measures distance travelled by a car, you can reset it to zero as zero only applies to car coming out of the production line only

you can use a trip computer to do the doing down (aslong now reset it)


then you can still use the odometer with current figures eg 100000miles on the clock and your oil service is due every 5000miles so when you mileage shows 105000miles then your oil is due for change

....Zimbabweans are by far the most confused set of Africans!!....No wonder the 90 something year old papa has been at the helm of affairs for 37 years.......VERY CONFUSED PEOPLE

there are letting him perform his last public appearance

remember you need to be smart that you dont end up looking like the person you over throw

the army is trying by all means not shed blood and let him leave office peacefully and stay in the country tahn running away and hide somewhere

from pictures and news you are that live is normal in the streets very few coups have managed that

Bede2u:
Delusion. China is investing massively in Africa so zimbabwe is just a small beneficiary. Check kenya and ethiopia.
Zimbabwe wont even stand up to nigeria yawa military na highly suffisticated nypd them one defeat. The west just removed their hands from Africa in order not to be dragged down by baggage. They are not afraid of any african dictator

never underestimate an enemy

do you know how the americans got defeated in vietnam ?

americans were 100 years ahead of technological warfar but it didnt work but hit and hide guerilla war far worked for the vietnams

zim is good at that thats how we fought the war with Smith

Prevention they say z better than cure. Same reason I deworm myself quarterly when am so good to go, and same reason o take anti-malarial drugs wen I HV the feeling I might been bitten.

you take anti malaria drugs becoz you are in malaria zone

you wouldnt if you were not

Hello pals and car gurus. I will go straight to the point, I HV dz Toyota Camry with Nigerian name muscle. Although its barely 2 month old and working perfectly buh a friend recently told me I should not wait for the car to start having issue that its best I always run a diagnostic test on it at intervals.

I rili dnt know much about diagnostic test but I know. Its about the car computer processor, micro chips etc. So the question I have is,
1.has anyone ever run a diagnostic test on his car here?

2. how often should it be?

3.Without the car having any issue is their a point running a diagnostic test on it? Because the longest distance the car has gone is between Kaduna to ibadan around sept and also Ibadan to Enugu that same sept. And the final question,

4. Is their any reliable diagnostic center in Enugu or any nearest village to it and and estimated value of its cost

JaaizTech:
My P0420 code have disappeared for over 2 weeks now; this happened after I refilled my tank with Petrol and added a Mobil Injector Cleaner (Mobil power), when I noticed it the first time, I refilled my tank again when it was half-full adding another bottle of the injector cleaner (Mobil power). The code is yet to re-appear since then.

I remember in one of the videos, that the mechanic advised you empty about a gallon of "thinner" into your tank first before deciding to remove it for a wash. Perhaps the Mobil power just did the thinner's job. I will keep you guys posted if it shows up again.

thinners weaken injector rubber seals

On race court people die......though they won't term it as suicide.
Again that makes it not suitable for our environment. Abi na race court for TBS u want use o

meant to say race track

you need to think out of the box

the world dont revolve around NIGERIA

there is te rest of the world to think of

from what i read there going to make around 24 of them cars

so it means they will be 24 people rich people who try to get that car

so sometimes dont think that your world and the rest of the world are the same NO

dabeto:
Rubbish....why should I be interested in what I can't use in its fullest speed. What may lead to my death if I try. .....

Race tracks

Are there to race

And also the fun in not always in racing

Its in showing just flooring the gas from one traffic light to the next the sound of the engine turn heads and besides just the shape of the car turn heads

dabeto:
Rubbish....why should I be interested in what I can't use in its fullest speed. What may lead to my death if I try. .....

Think hard

The sells for 1.2million US$

So if one can afford that

S/he can afford to pay money at race track to burn rubber

you need to rephrase

its not the fastest ever made

but the fasted PRODUCTION CAR

The problem here is bias based on what you only see within your environment, based on little research most of your cars in nigeria they came from US and most of US cars are automatic. So most people think that the rest of the world is like that NO most Europe cars are manual and in UK you can opt to have an automatic drivers licence and disadvantage is that you are limited to choose of car if you want to buy and automatics seem to be a bit expensive

Its also the same when it comes to engine size and configuration, average american cars are 2.5L engine size and the engine config is average V configuration hence

Then Europe average engine is 1.6L and we can still get a 1.0L engine and most are Straight config, an average family car would be 1.8L engine

Anyone who grow up in Europe his/ her normal car is manul then north america would be an automatic


Based on what you fancy you would say thats the best

Then on racing cars with automatic gearbox, yes its auto but on different level than an ordinary car, the gearbox is sequential one it doesnt change on its own you change it yourself and its changes 100 times faster than your average car


Then manual racing cars they have a sequential gearbox aka gears are in a striaght line 123456 you cant skip gear in shifting up or down like in average H pattern gearbox

To undetstand sequential gearbox play with youtube

Gbengageorge:
Thanks for this insight, now I know one can still jump start an automatic

you can jump start any car

it think he is causing the wrong word

he means PUSHSTART

there is a difference between jumpstarting and pushstarting

streetzdreamz:
I don't understand what you are talking about,"changing the gear lever from drive down to 2 or 1'" is that what you talking about??

in automatics there is a kickdown switch on somes cars, lest say you are travelling at 60miles an hour you want to overtaking very fast you press the accelator right to the follow, the car will change to a lower gear as to revs up and build speed

just like in manual quick overtake you might change your gear from 5 to 4 as increase revs and build up speed



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOR4GQYnAx8

Just reverse or reverse parallel parking ?

Reverse parallel parking you based on the car you would take to test you need to an imagination mark that you use to start turning

Eg you reverse parallel to car parked and when your's rear door handle is now straight with bumper of the parrarel parked car you then start turning your steering

I know some of them but not sure what they really mean.. Thanks a lot for the enlightenment... It was fulfilling.. Erm..am trying to compare mine with manufacturers specs..

But becareful in comparing with manufacters as normally you would be given a reading that ranges between certain figures
