Sadly, I went to Ladipo yesterday, but they were all lost as I discussed it. The scan result shows I have a small EVAP leak. My car runs rich and seems to go into limp mode. I changed the purge valve and a hose connecting to the throttle body, which fixed a “check fuel cap" issue. After I did all these, my car came back to life. However, after two weeks, the problem started again. I suspect the MAF sensor, as it failed the traditional manual test. However, I do not want to change it yet, as I learnt that the MAF sensor can still fail this test if there is still a minor leak in the airflow. So I want to rule out all leaks before changing the MAF sensor. I hope I am making sense, my people. Please, what can I do moving forward? |

accelion: Hello again, Sirs. I am still waiting to hear from you ooo. Can I please get a recommendation for this? Do you know of any garage or car shop where I can do this in Lagos? I do not want these guys to be guessing where the leak might be from. I know there are some homemade DIY, but I'd use a professional. Thanks to you all and good morning. |

Good afternoon. I need help with running a smoke test to detect a vacuum leak in Honda Accord 2013. Is there anywhere I can do this in Lagos on the mainland? Thanks.

@Op, you should get a reimbursement from the supposed winner. The question was made to look straightforward, but it isn't with a deceptive grammatical emphasis (colour) on the numbers just as in a typical mathematical or ing exam setting. But here is the twist: The question was how much money was lost, not how much money and goods were lost. I’ll explain further... I am in the IT world but I know that money and goods are not the same in ing, and will never get recorded in the same book. One is constant while the other isn't. $1 will always be $1, but the value of goods may vary due to many factors, like bulk purchases, low sales, etc. For instance, you can't give $1 to get $2, but you can get 3 goods for the price of one and the stock will still balance (applying the discount code). So while $100 is missing from the sales book, which might be because of any other reason, even damage, the goods didn't get missing. It was sold. It wasn't a loss. However, another piece of money ($30) from the same cash was taken out at the same time, making the total money (loss) taken out between the “thief and the cashier” during that transaction, that day, a total of $130. We can hypothetically say that the cashier gave $130 to the thief (assuming he didn't steal it) but didn't give the goods for free. Think about it, the answer couldn't have been that easy. Everyone will quickly say $100 without a doubt. There definitely must be a twist. 2 Likes |

Balo7leke: My apologies for how it all seemed. Every other person sent their portfolio to the job email, and I don't see anything wrong with that. The job requires that you have a couple of websites you have worked on as an experienced expert. Again my apologies. |

Hello guys. Would you be kind enough to send the following details below to [email protected]? Thanks. - Your first name - Your portfolio (websites you have built.) - Your location should be Lagos, as I need to meet with you. - Any other work you have done that might help you get an edge. - How you want to be ed. - P.S. You must know WordPress very well as you would be tested on it. There is no learning on the job. I'm sorry. You must be experienced. |

Well, it depends on what you use WordPress for but trust me, it goes way beyond the ordinary. This opportunity isn't for junior-level WordPress developers. You are being paid handsomely as a senior developer. I wish I could say more than this. By the way, it's a bad work ethic to learn on a live job; so many things can go wrong.

Hello guys. I have an opportunity to bring a very experienced WordPress developer onboard a platform I am part of. I know this thread is about Upwork, and I won't want to derail it. But as I see there are a lot of developers here, I thought I should share. If you are confident, please find more details about the opportunity on this other thread. https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/7305730/need-two-seasoned-experienced-front-end |

I still need one more experienced WordPress developer with sound knowledge of the above languages. Unfortunately, the guys aren't satisfied with the portfolios shared. They need someone who has done a whole lot with WordPress, etc. If you are based in Lagos, that will be a plus, as I'd like to meet you. You can use the email address provided to share the requested details. I already got one person but there is still space for another. |

Unfortunately, you must know WordPress because you would not only be working with these languages but mostly on WordPress websites. Do you have a portfolio? Please email me at the address provided. You never can say. I might be impressed. |

Hello guys. Here is a quick update: I went through the websites, but unfortunately, I would only proceed with two people for now. My apologies. While you all have great portfolios, I think more work needs to be done. The majority of the websites I saw were simply templates that were edited. Sadly, I'd need more than that. As I wrote earlier, this is a very competitive platform where only the best of the best can be accepted. Please see this update as a rejection mail if you don't hear back from me, and I hope you will not take it personally. However, I still need one more experienced WordPress, HTML, CSS, and Javascript expert to onboard. If you know anyone (including a female) that is very skilled, please don't hesitate to share this thread with them. Thanks. |

Thanks. - Your first name - Your portfolio (websites you have built.) - Your location (if you are Lagos like me, you’d be able to work with me.) - Any other work you have done that might help you get an edge. - How you want to be ed. Also, guys, I have had a few still ask me the same questions I answered in my first post.

I am also a developer on the platform and just helping out. - Yes, you must know WordPress very well as you would be tested on it. There is no learning on the job. I'm sorry.

MannyEl: Yes, fortunately, there isn't much hardcore programming or coding to do, as most jobs would be done for businesses and individuals. I have replied your email. |

@etoluw, are you peradventure also familiar with WordPress?

simplesol: 1. The job type can be anything from function calls to editing website codes or converting PSD to WordPress. It could also be conceptualizing a website based on a client's need. You could also be required to help fix simple things as small as updating a plugin or making a button change style on hover. The job type just varies depending on what clients want to be done. 2. You will make as much money as you can work. There is no limit to how much you can earn. In fact, you would be encouraged to take on as many jobs as possible. More money for you; more money for the company. Do you mind sharing a portfolio with me? |

donsheddy1: Sure, we can talk. It’ll be a pleasure. But you haven't asked me any questions as I requested. Also, I would like if the process I outlined could be followed. That way, other people can learn from my answers. If I have to call everyone, I might be by my computer all day. I hope you understand. Also, I want this to be imbounded. |

Hello guys. I am privileged to work for a foreign company that hires web designers and developers, and I want to bring two Nigerians on board. Male or female. I need a developer with cutting-edge skills in front-end languages, especially HTML, CSS, and Javascript(most important). What are the requirements? - You must be very good with the above languages as you will be tested with them by my guys abroad and me. - Knowing how to use WordPress will give you an edge. You will be tested on these too. - You must have a portfolio of websites you have develped and are running. They will be checked. - You must be able to communicate in the English language very well. Luckily, it is our lingua franca. - This is a life-changing opportunity that requires patience. It will take a few weeks for the onboarding process. So you must be patient as so many people are trying to get into the program. Those are the technical requirements for now. Benefits - You will be paid handsomely in USD. - You will gain a lot working with me. Trust me. - It isn't a 9-5 job; you work when you want. - It is a remote job. - If I am impressed with your skills and portfolio, I can provide a work environment for you. - Once again, you will smile to the bank in USD. As this is a life-changing opportunity, as it was for me, I will only be able to bring just two or three people on board yearly. You’d have just one shot at it. If you miss it, there isn't another opportunity. But I'll help out where possible. What do you need to do? - Ask me your intelligent questions. - Show me your portfolio websites or projects. - If I like what I see, I’ll schedule an online discovery meeting with you. - We move to the next step. Are you paying for anything to get selected? A CAPITAL NO! I REPEAT, NO. To the mods, I am not trying to sell anything. I am just a lucky person who doesn't want to hide what he found and wants to help a fellow Nigerian. If you need to cross-check anything with me, please let me know. Thanks. 1 Like 1 Share |

Collione: Thank you so much, @Collione, and @tobisunday, for the details shared. I will both of them to get their input and revert. I sincerely appreciate your time. |

tobisunday: Good morning. Thanks for this information. I will ask my mechanic to check the spider bearing and see if that fixes the issue. The noise is really giving me concern. Where is the “small boy” located? Do you mind sharing his details? I live around Ikeja environs in Lagos. Thanks. |

Collione: Okay, I won't. The gear selects just fine. It's just the terrifying scraping sound that's the problem. Could the problem be with the gear oil being short or gone? I plan on checking it today (DIY). |

Thanks for the response, Conner44. Do you have a check engine light? No, I don't. I have also comprehensively scanned the engine and the gear, and both came out clear. Break Caliper and wheel bearings? They have both been checked repeatedly without any issues. The mechanic I met here checked and said it had to do with the gear, as I guessed and thats the scary part. |

Hello Guys, good morning. Can I please use your recommendations on fixing my Honda Accord 2014 model issues? Here goes: 1.The car jerks (lightly) when I accelerate from a halt or make a turn. I know it is supposed to pick up immediately after I turn, but it jerks/bounces before it eventually does. And this happens every time I accelerate. 2.There is a persistent scraping sound on the driver’s side of my car. I have investigated and found that the sound isn't from the tire or the “hand” of the vehicle; it comes from the inside—through the inner shaft to the gear. I also discovered the following about the issue(2): a).When both front tires are raised and the gear is put in drive, while the right tire keeps spinning, the left slowly and strangely comes to a halt. b).If I take the tire off the driver’s side, I don't hear this sound except if if the wheel is manually spun. Can I say the tire’s weight is a causing effect. c).I don't hear this scraping sound when the car is put in reverse. 3.When the car is in motion, instead of gradually coming to a halt, it sharply does and withdraws as something pulls it back. You’d feel it, and I'd have to rev again. Sometimes, when it seizes (withdraws), it will free itself. Thank you, guys, as I await your response. I will be happy to respond to any questions you have to help. I am currently at Oyingbo (as directed) to get the best hands to work on the car since all the parts I will need are here (supposedly). If you also can refer a trustworthy engineer here (Willoughby), I will be happy. Cheers. |

Hello guys, can I please get your sentiments about the 2014 honda accord? I plan to purchase the car week, and I am contemplating the Nigerian used to save cost. Is this a wise decision, or should I just opt for the tokunbo? My budget for the Nigerian used (upgraded is 3.8m - 4m), while the price for the tokunbo (not upgraded) starts from 5m+. I don't have 5m now, but I can match it up. I am of the thought that if I get a well-maintained Nigerian used one, it'd be great as I hear the car hardly gives issues. Am I being Pounds foolish, Pennywise? I know you guys would say I should go for the tokunbo obviously, does that mean I can't get a good Nigerian used one? I also think the car is for people in the middle class who can afford to maintain it. So the risk of buying an ill-treated, not-maintain Nigerian used one will be less. Is that a wrong assumption? Now for the mechanical aspect, Is the car an overall good one? (Yes, I will properly maintain it when I get it). If it is prone to issues, I'd instead save myself the stress. I am coming from the German and American car manufacturers' side - BMW X5 and Ford Edge 08. What should I be prepared for in of expenses, minor and major issues, etc., if I buy the Nigerian used (most likely)? Lastly, is anything wrong with getting the V6 version compared to the V4? Thanks a lot for your response and forget my questions. I can't be too careful. Thanks, guys. |
