Thanks.

What power steering oil are you using ? That may be the culprit.

I use Abro, after they said its forte oil and now Holts.

Please, I want you to answer my question because it will really be of great help to me.

I use a Toyota Corolla 2005 model.

When I discovered that steering was becoming stiff, I bought a used power steering pump and fixed, but it was still stiff. I changed another but the problem continued. So, I bought a new pump and rack and got them fixed up.

Although, I have noticed some reasonable changes to my steering wheel, It is not still free the way I expected it to be.

I also changed the serpentine belt.

What do you suggest I do about this issue?

My people, I had similar fears about washing car engines, but whenever I see how dirt has accumulated over the years in other people's engines, I swore never to allow mine get to that level.

Last week, even though my car is not up to three months old, I washed the engine clean! And I will do it again.

Don't forget, the state of your car engine will either increase or reduce the value of your car whenever you wish to sell it off.

Think again.

Thank you very much.

I bought a new car few months ago, precisely a Toyota Corolla 2004, I got it registered immediately. But after a few weeks, I decided to sell it and buy another one.

I eventually sold it and bought Corolla 2005 but I want to keep using my former late number on the new car.

Is it possible to correct or change the registration details to reflect the details of my new car?

One reason I love Saudis. They are all hipocrites!

Will you sl it for 800k? where is your location?

I'm in Ibadan. Would it go for 700k?

"No one should be closer to you or know more about you than your spouse."

Pastor Adeboye, the Founder and General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God made a thread on Twitter about married men and women where he advised married Christians to cut off anyone who is taking their attention away from their marriage or partner.

Although his tweet had come under serious criticism especial the part where he asked his son to fire a secretary for taking his attention..

"One of my sons once told me that he was always excited to resume in the office every Monday because he would get to see his secretary again. I told him to fire her immediately. Nothing and no one is worth your marriage."

All the same, there is so much sense in his tweet and I feel you should go through it. Do not let anyone come in between you and your partner. Crush that crush!

Read through.

CRUSH THAT CRUSH !!!

Today, I will be focusing on the married. It is sad that many married people are still having crushes with persons apart from their spouses.

If there is any fellow aside from your spouse you are admiring unduly, you must see such a person as the devil and get rid of them immediately.

One of my sons once told me that he was always excited to resume in the office every Monday because he would get to see his secretary again. I told him to fire her immediately. Nothing and no one is worth your marriage.

What is a married woman doing on the phone with another man for countless minutes? Why would a married man be spending so much time with another man’s wife? Why would you prefer to discuss intimate issues with your “friend” of the opposite sex instead of your God-given spouse?

Oh, you may say “I am not doing anything with the fellow; we are just friend.” That is exactly where it starts from. The devil knows you are a Christian and would not fall for someone just like that.

So, he makes you become good friends with the fellow and before you know it, you would have fallen. May you not fall for any strategy of the devil in the mighty name of Jesus. If you have any friend that you talk to more than your spouse, break that friendship now.

Proverbs 5:18 has this to say:

“Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.”

Spend more time with your spouse and make him/her your confidant. Exchange compliments. The reason many people have crushes outside their marriage is mostly due to a distance between the couple.

They no longer communicate as they used to. When they talk, it is only on serious issues about the children or other family needs, instead of talking/gisting about just anything as they used to in the early days of their marriage.

They no longer go out to fun places or take walks together except they are going for family functions. If there is no distance between yourself and your spouse, no crush can come between you.

No one should be closer to you or know more about you than your spouse.

This is how Nigerians on Twitter are reacting to the above tweet.

"I felt like everybody was against me. There was no hope. All I needed was a way to escape this wicked world with wicked and uncaring people everywhere. I wanted to leave..."

Hold on, don't leave yet. There is hope for you.

For years, issues concerning mental health has been downplayed by Nigerians, and the government. We believe that anybody exhibiting signs of mental challenges has a spiritual problem. We have attached spirituality and diabolism to virtually everything concerning mental health.

The society itself has been bedeviled by people who would rather try to become famous through your problems instead of genuinely helping you.

People no longer care about people around them. All cases of depression and other psychological challenges have been erroneously linked to poverty.

Psychological challenges like depression, PTSD, phobia, etc, cannot be erased with money. People think that with money, all their problems are solved. I'd like to inform you that poverty is not actually the main factor responsible for suicides. Rich people also commit suicide.

One may decide to take his life because he feels he has failed in life, or the shame of being exposed for something he did or outright mental disorder which predisposes one to suicidal thoughts.

Whatever be the reason for the latest upsurge in suicides, taking your life is not an option. It's cowardly and should never be contemplated by anybody.

Sometimes, you admire the wrong persons. You compare yourself with your mates on social media who flaunt costly clothes, flashy cars and their flamboyant lifestyle. Frankly speaking, I have been in this situation before, but when you get closer, you'd realise that your friends are living a trashy and fake life. You are way better than them.

When you compare yourself with your so called rich mates, you should also look back to see some of your mates who have no job, no food to eat, no shelter over their heads. Some of your mates are also crippled, blind, on the sick bed, down with cancer, pneumonia, can't eat through the mouth... I know the devil will not allow you see the other side of life because he is determined to lead you to your doom. It's time to take that power to determine what you want for yourself from the devil. Decide to live.

Whether your problem is caused by things happening around you, or by some biological factors, the best move should be to SEEK HELP. even the Bible says, seek and you shall find. Approach your senior colleagues in your work place, meet your parents, lecturers or anybody you can confide in. Table your issues before him or her. You don't have to die in silence.

Also, the inability of our religious leaders to play the roles expected of them is yet another factor which should be checkmated. Our pastors, Imams, Priests, Daddies and Mummies in the Lord, are supposed to play the role of counselors. They are supposed to be there to act as a guide and support for their members and followers.

Our religious bodies are also supposed to act in liaison with psychiatric or rehab homes. Don't chain your mentally challenged members to the Church pillar to be flogged. You cannot flog out mental problem. Even as you pray, the right thing should be done. Take them to Psychiatric homes.

And for those who you pray to God to provide their needs, but when it's your turn, all members will start sowing seeds and donating money. You can call for donations for that church member you know needs it. Allow God answer your prayers through you.

And finally, we need to give the field of Psychology and Counseling it's deserved place in the society. Psychological counseling is a professional field which should be sustained in every sphere of human life. Psychologists are required wherever humans work. Even animals. We should have Counselors in the schools, hospitals, government ministries, departments and agencies. Toll free helplines should also be published so that at any point in time people can have access to help.

Please, we are in this together. Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, that is if you don't kill yourself.

This life is beautiful. We can't all have all we want. We can't all be the same, but we can work harder to become better. A dead man does not become better.

You have to live to win.

'Yes, you heard me right. It’s called HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis'

A Nigeria medical doctor living and working in the UK, through his Twitter handle @DrOluFunmilayo recently tweeted a thread where he as our 'Our Fav Online Doctor' educated us about a drug course or treatment which can be taken immediately after having an unprotected s3x with a prostitute or a suspected HIV patient so as to prevent us from getting infected. He called it Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

Read the thread below:

If you just had a very risky unprotected s3x and you don’t want to get HIV, go to a hospital.

PS- It has to be within 72 hours of the s3x.


So What is PEP?


PEP stands for post-exposure prophylaxis. It means the act of taking antiretroviral medicines (ART) after engaging in an activity (like unprotected s3x, sharing needles etc) that can potentially expose a person to HIV.

The aim is to prevent becoming infected.

Who should take PEP?

Everybody is hung up on domestic abuse by men against women. Nobody spares a moment to find solutions to the equally devastating verbal abuse men suffer in the hands of their wives. It is worse because men can't discuss what their wives do to them for fear of scorn and derision. They suffer in silence. Time bomb.

Unfortunately, the Nigerian society has little or no support systems for this kind of situation. Little or no counselling services. These women are raising daughters. Their daughters are hearing and seeing how they speak to and treat their husband. What kind of wives will they grow up to become? Those that treat their husbands as kings or those that believe husbands are nothing but verbal punching bags?

We've all agreed and rightfully so that a man has no business hitting his wife. So how then do you stop a wife raining verbal missiles at you? Leave the house? Okay. But you'll return and it will continue. What next? Leave again? For how long?

Recently, I visited a senior friend, an important man in the society and while we were downstairs gisting, the voice of his wife could be heard upstairs. She was spewing unimaginable bile against the man. She called him all sorts of unprintable names. Impotent, wretched fool, miserable man that was nothing when she married him, etc. This is a well respected man. A father of 4 children. She tore at his very core and mocked everything society respected him for. She said he'd soon crash and she'll be there to laugh at him.

I was so uncomfortable as I beheld the man. He was shrunken before me. He was deflated. He tried to gamefully continue the gist to distract me but it was not working. The woman's vitriol was a ceaseless torrent. Uncomfortable silence ensued. I excused myself and left his house.

I was really sad.

You want to know the truth? This is what most men go through in their houses. They labour and toil and build respect but when they return home, the one who ought to speak to the king in them tears them to shreds and tries to deflate their self-esteem. When they are outside, they try to act cheerful and happy but back home, they are shrivelled because the person they live with makes it a point of duty to verbally assault them.

A sad story comes to mind. There was recently a Nigerian Ambassador who was recalled because his wife released a story to the press that he beat her. She also released pictures showing fresh injuries on her body ostensibly inflicted by the man.

In a dramatic twist, their children came out to debunk the stories and said their mother faked the injuries to embarrass their dad. Grown up children.

A particular sentence by the 1st son saddened me. He said it was as if their mum woke up every morning with one mission in life: how to make their dad miserable. They said they were witnesses to how their mum constantly harassed and abused their dad and wanted the whole world to know that their dad was not who their mum was painting him to be.

Yes, opinion shifted on the scandal but the damage had been done. The Ambassador was recalled and nobody heard from him again.

A family is currently at odds with the widow of their son and brother. The wife was constantly verbally assaulting him. Nobody wanted to visit them because each time they were around, it was always quarrel and the wife would call him unprintable names. Even in their presence. When they try to interfere, she will give them their own. The man died recently of heart-attack caused by high blood pressure. He was in his late 40s. The family insists his wife sent him to his early grave with her verbal torments.

Our bars are filled with men who are afraid to go home to their wives for fear of what verbal torment they will go through. Men are finding every excuse to travel because they'll rather be anywhere than in their own homes.

Everybody is focusing on men as culprits in domestic abuse. Who is talking to the women

Life has taught me a lesson i have carried all my life and that is the necessity of giving or being charitable. Some people give a lot by the way of time and knowledge/education, but will never give away money. They will always say, 'I will give when i have extra money' and of course, there is rarely an extra to give.

Successful and smart people like myself give money as well as education. I believe firmly in giving. If you want something, all you need to do is give FIRST! When you are short of money, the magic is to give, either to your church, the poor or to your favorite charity.

If i could leave one single idea with you, it is that idea. When ever you feel 'short' or in 'need', of something, give what you want first and it will come back to you in many folds. That's exactly what it is for money.

Check around you. Poor people are more greedy than rich people. The simple explanation is that if a person was rich, that person was providing something that people wanted. The greatest lesson I've learned is that when ever i am in need or wanted something, I'd go out and give it out first.

This reminds me of a story captured in Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad. According to Robert, there was this guy sitting with firewood in his arms on a cold freezing night, and he is yelling at the pot-bellied stove, 'if you give me some wood, i'ill put some wood in!' So, when it comes to money, love, happiness, sales and contacts, all one needs to remember is to give first what you want and it will come back in droves. And i mean it.

There are powers in this world that are much smarter than we are. You can get there on your own, but its much easier with the help of powers that be. All you need is to be generous with what you have, and the powers will be generous with you.

If you want to receive, all you need to do is GIVE.

I pray that God Almighty will input in us the power and spirit of giving so as to ease our ability to receive.
