Commuter Train From Lagos To Kano Derailed At Niger State (2) (3) (4)
Re: Derailed by Dottore: 10:40am On Jul 08, 2018 |
dru23: See I'm a business man. The cost difference between the one made abroad most times has nothing to do with quality so long as it's the same company. The cost difference is mainly because of exchange rate, Freight and clearing charges. It's a supplier's manipulative ploy to attribute the foreign made Mobil oil to be better than the Nigerian made. Mobil is a reputable company. They have a standard especially as they didn't give the franchise to a subsidiary or a partner company so it doesn't matter where it's made. Their standard remains the same once its Mobil 1 its Mobil 1.the formula remains the same. Packaging could be different for export purposes or for tropical purposes just like we have car brands with right side steering wheel and left side steering wheel but the components are the same. As for the pizza you'd be surprised if I tell you that I'd prefer the pizza I eat in Nigeria to the ones that has acidic taste that I have overseas. My taste bud and yours are not the same. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Dottore:My brother let us keep it 100% , most product that is made for the Nigerian market are not up to standard bro .. Even the multi national companies do their own cheat.. For me I will stick to my America products o , u on the other hand can continue using those products.. If you know u know |
Re: Derailed by Dottore: 11:09am On Jul 08, 2018 |
dru23:I am talking about Mobil here. They have no reason to make substandard products in Nigeria. Nigeria has abundant crude oil. They have cheap labour and transportation costs as well as low trade tarrifs. Eterna Oil has a sole franchise to manufacture and market Castrol in Nigeria. Do you think the owners of Castrol would sacrifice their hard earned reputation for a junk production? It's funny how freelance marketers like you would just make every conceivable effort to run down competent and fully established companies just to make a sale. You are not a licensed marketer of Mobil products or any lubricant brand but you are quick to compare what you have in Stock (probably what someone waybilled to you from wherever) with the ones that accredited manufacturers are offering. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Dottore: This brother dey vex. I do get your point. Yes, Mobil 1 is Mobil 1. Franchise business is not a joke and accredited dealership isn't for small boy. Depending on your car and what the manufacturer recommended as oil grade. Yes most accredited dealer only supply what the market demands. Business is about making money. If your car manufacturers recommend, 5W-20 for example, they also would state the API grade. All 5W-20 aren't made the same. 5w-20 API SD isn't the same with 5W-20 API SN. Lot of people here (Nigeria) like 10w-30 or 20w-50 etc so supplier only sell frequently bought products. New cars usually demands for either 5w-20, 5w-30 or 0w-20. The oil grade needed to service your car is stated on the oil cover or your car manual. Pay close attention to the API grade and ensure its what is recommended for your car. Find below a sample from my car manual 1 Like

blackfm: Truth be told, and this is the honest truth .. I don't care who you buy from, selling USA Mobil 1 will not make me rich at all and I don't depend on it as my main income ..I also have fleet of cars that will need it .. My first sale of oil from nairaland, was not even a Christian or youraba, or igbo.. He was a Muslim, he bought six from me and wanted to buy more .. I deliver to him ,I even got paid before shipping it to him.. So who are u bro ..am a diffrent breed bro ..with me what u see is what you get.. I don't sugar coat anything... 2 Likes

I will choose gazzuzz mobil1 over dru22. One has a name to protect the other has no pedigree. For those arguing on Nigeria Mobil 1 and USA own. Compare Nigerian Toyota with American Toyota . You will understand. Some Kia Rio for Nigerian market has no airbag. 1 Like |

dru23: Your lines of argument are worse than that of a toddler. What's our business with where you stay or the number of cars they gave you to manage on Uber? Now you're ranting that you sold oil to a northerner. How does that relate to the matter at hand? Is foolishness your only talent? Gazzuzz should not only have banned you, he should have uploaded heavy curses on your brain box before kicking your dumb azz out of WhatsApp. 2 Likes |

PearlStreet: Honestly, he is a mechanic and he is a good mechanic that is for sure ...a mechanic will always be a mechanic, wheather good or bad.. And for that I will not get into pig barn fight with a mechanic, I won't do it in Yankee and I won't do it in naija.. Either way I go stay in my Lane... for that matter we are of diffrent profession, you people on nairaland need him , I don't need for anything bro ... I stay thousands and thousands of miles, so does it make sense for me to be worrying about a mechanic that blocked me on nairaland? I felt that things could have been handled a lot better..

TheCar: If you know you know . American spec Toyota/Kia are not on the same level with Naija spec(Dana Motors, Elizade or Toyota Nigeria) because they don't have to conform to the same As for which standard will be better..... fill in the gaps NB Why do you think Toyota Hiace is not sold in the US? |
Re: Derailed by Readonee35L(m): 7:40pm On Jul 09, 2018 |
thebigkendo:Oga b4 you say wrong things go and educate yourself. Hiace Is not a substandard Vehicle. If you think American vehicles have tahe highest standard then you don't know about vehicles. Have you seen Toyota from Japan and noticed how full they are with lots of options with top notch safety ratings ? American cars might have a Standard but they are very stripped down compared to other countries . Now the Hiace is not only produced in Dubai and middle east . Have you Seen The Hiace from Japan ?? European Hiace ? Those are the real deal. They are very full with quality. But the ones from middle east The super Gl and Co aka dubai spec those ones are stripped down. The hiace , prado , camry , land cruiser and camry from the middle east region are quite stripped down. Moral of my lesson. A car is not sold in the USA doesn't mean it is substandard. |
