🔴 Red Flags in the Message:

1. Emotional Manipulation:

The story about someone getting scammed for “60 million naira” and being caught by Interpol is designed to create false hope and urgency.

Comparing Nigerian police to U.S. police and invoking a dramatic “24hrs movie” feeling is emotionally charged and overly theatrical.



2. Encouragement to Post Personal Details:

“Do you have their pictures or information? Post them here…”
This is highly inappropriate and unsafe. Legitimate law enforcement never asks for private data to be posted publicly like this.



3. Name-Dropping Interpol:

“I have friends in Interpol Ikoyi… one is beside me right now.”
This is a classic scam tactic — claiming insider connections to create a false sense of credibility.



4. Too Good to Be True:

Claims of catching a scammer hiding in a hotel thanks to local Interpol efforts may be exaggerated or completely fabricated.



5. No Verification or Official Channels:

There’s no reference to official procedure, complaint numbers, or safe reporting mechanisms like Nigerian Police Force websites or ICPC/EFCC platforms

Take your frustration to federal express. As u dey complain with epistle,make sure say u match am..

You wey dey use oyibo phone, oyibo shoe, oyibo hairbrush, oyibo toothpaste and toothbrush, oyibo cloth material, oyibo internet but you dey here dey talk about another man choice just because it is not what YOU EXPECTED him to say.
Must everyone do everything according to your own expectations to please you?
Why don't you go back to wearing leaf and trekking with bare foot.?
Akara and Akamu na your best food does it make you AJEKPAKO more than the next man?
Check your own life before you throw stones

Buy tetmosol,triple action cream it's white and red...use am for 3days.dis tin catch me for jss3 when I dey wear one pant for 3days

I was once like u. I used for pops c200 as far back as 2004 to learn..manual. i used it for 3 days and then i never get car.provlem now arose when my father sent me an errand.i forgot everything becos i wasnt driving always or everyday and it was manual gear,na my elder bro come rescue me..but today i can handle any gear cos i don get my own car and i donbunderstand cars wella. Wait till u get your own car bro.

Burdenbearer:
Oh my Gosh! I don't have a car neither can i afford one now but intend to get a driving job. What's your advice for me?

U can only learn when u have a car to your name

This man he looks sick

Pelus suppose get one sour sweet smell.sp she no cum or discharge. That baby get hidden infection be that

No disturb me.

minista94:
Please is this type of OBD2 okay?

I'd rather watch edris elba or John wick

Pako dey form ajeh

Zero your mind from that oil. Start with 10w40. And watch the level after 3 to5 days. Also note that our petrol is madly bad.our petrol now is like drinking water mixed with lime.its acidic n bad. So over time your engine will gather carbon on piston crown..valves....plugs.... as u dey buy half tank.dey add fuel additives. Your engine na better high mileage engine.almost close to its last leg

minista94:
Mileage is 165k miles

Since e no get price. I go pet drm know. Na old model laptop....core i3...old model..cracked.
It's value is 60k

Follow my lead and u can never go wrong. Dont allow any mofoka make u digress.they are after your money and would want u to come tondia shop so they will acatter your engine and car 4u. 1stly equip yourself with youtube....get a personal obd scanner.the type thay uses wire connected to the cars obd port under steering.
Dont use that oil. Its for america and not nigeria.
Climate change is diff here in naija. U couldnuse it and be feeling funky that nothing go sup .e go shock u say after 2 months,the engine oil fit remain only 3 % and gboom.your oil pump gwts starved and gbooah. Engine go knock.that wud be the beginning of your problem. Go for higher viscocity.start from 10w30 or 10w 40. Also whats the mileage.it wud def be a high mileage car with rolled back odometer to fool us here. Search for the vin of the car 1st online and get back to me with the mileage .if its above 100k.then zero ypur mind from that useless pure water like 0w20 oil.

minista94:
Nawa o
Answer me na, I'm a first time car owner that's why I'm asking not to make mistakes.

Do as u wish.ive told u n given u hints...u r a graduate. Use your brain. Dont wait to be spoonfed

minista94:
So I should go with 5w-30 if the recommended oil on the cover is 0w-20?

Secondly, is it likely you can get fake oil from mobil filling?

If its whats the engine oil needs for the car..but to me e too light and e go quickly dry out when naija heat start,with heat from engine bay,heat from road..u can start with it and observe if it drops every 3days or 2days b4 u decide to upgrade the oil...use highger viscosity oil.if not your engine go knock out of no oil.if u like listen to the others who would want to counter me.they will be praying make u come dia shop.so dem go chop u then scatter yoir engine. Nigeria climate wont tolerate such oil.it will thin out fast and knock.

minista94:
Ọmọ this is another protocol ooo
I was advised to just do normal servicing, drainage the follow come oil and use the new oil.

Secondly, is it advisable to use same 0w 20 here in Naija, i heard it's meant for USA weather

Honda crv value was 2.8m in 2010
By 2012..2013..it became 3.5m to 3.7m
This year it's value doesn't exceed 8m.

Such a greedy baranda
No worry.

Infact dstv na scam.they did dia upgrade fpr my sub. Since last week..I don dey find where the other stations dey dem say not allowed to watch.
I chat customer care. Na robot dey chat me.
I get sub for dstv but I always dey off my telly.i can't be watching tnt and movies of 1999.for 2025

Let me tell u a secret.
A direct toks car engine won't be sparkling clean.

Look at the reservoir..it should be pure white.
The brake tank too shud be pure white
Battery...American battery
Interior...clean but mite not be 100%.

Red flags for used cars ..aka naija used but disguising as toks.

Useless seat covers
Useless nylon on seats....
Useless nylons on Sun visors
Pale reservoir tank
Sapa car battery
Resprayed to vin sticker level
Uneven gaps esp at headlights...
Bumper and fenders is managed
Dirty carpet...car rugs with stubborn stains..
Dead and foggy head lamps

Whites sef dey drive car like werey too.esp if the last owner abused it ...but even at that u go still know say na toks and not naija used disguised as toks

Don't let any baranda fool u.

A Nigerian used and driven car is obvious in so many ways.

A used and not registered car is not a tokunbo car.

A car driven on naija road daily for almost 4months is not a toks car.


Value of toks car is not so high. With 7 to 15m.u will buy any car offline direct toks

But here on nairaland.
The greedy barandas inflate and jack up prices to more than 100%.
Avoid them.
Don't call them.

Let them keep posting from page 1 to 50.
When him taya. He go break phone

Go out to a dealer. Shine your eyes
Run vin..price or take off

Don't buy from nairaland.
They are all baranda

What i meant was. If u just got the car..after draining the follow come oil.use mineral oil for likr 3 weeks if ubdey drive the car everyday..then after that use engine flush.then apply the oil cap requirement direct. If na 0w20...5w 20..etc. no go buy fake oil o. Cos now fake oils are everywhwre. Id advice u buy it in 1 liter ...or if u can s33 can 1liter.buy up to 6 or 7 once.fake oils are everywhere.from total to mobil..they are all selling fakes.nigeria is already a dead place. I saw a mofoka selling vulture meat on facebook yesterday.u can imagine vulture meat.which ks poison to the body...but when dem grill am.u go call am suya

minista94:
You mean it's not advisable to start using new only on toks car with flushing?

No be lie. But i cant starve myself when i got lil money. Thats poverty mindset.
