This is an eye 👀 opener.

Government should not allowed any car without catalytic converter to operate. It very harmful to our environment because of some kind air pollution

Whois:
Help with picture of the Catalytic Converter

See how the catalytic converter popularly called INDOMIE by mechanics looks inside your exhaust pipe.
They remove the content and replace it with wire net gauze that looks like mosquito net and you won't know it has been removed because that net gauze muffles the noise

Corruption. APC o

What to do bro, what to do.

Catalytic converters are devices fitted to vehicle exhausts to reduce the amount of dangerous gases emitted. They are often targeted by thieves as they contain valuable metals and can be removed in less than a minute.CC

The issue is an international problem. Even in America, catalytic converters are stolen on daily basis. Vehicle manufacturers should figure out a way to make it less easy to remove.

Ruke1989:
The country is a warehouse of millions of degenerate minds and thieves

In addition to this, in Europe they also steal catalyst for it's precious elements inside it

What to do bro, what to do.

Think outside the box. Most things that people do is inside the box. That's why they struggle. It's only a few that are outside the box that are way ahead of the economic problem the world and Nigeria is facing

Stop calling buygala and nurey here. One is just a roadside charge and bail lawyer while the other one is a sit-at-home husband.

LWKMD...
Especially buygala..Frustrated tribalistic mugu.

Na who no come be thief for this country like this?

Nigeria is a crime scene!

easy ways for you to lose your catalyst

1: Parking near a Mechanic Workshop - especially when Council/LASTMA are on the prowl looking for cars to tow - some Lagosians often feel it is safe to pay mechanics a small token to look after their car while they go a few streets down to work or have a meeting. All it takes is 30 minutes or less to weld off your catalyst and replace it with wire mesh and other materials to kill the sound change

2: Leaving your car with a mechanic for days or overnight - Same as above, it does not take much to weld it off and replace it with rubbish

3: Leaving your car in public parking owned by Lagos State Government - Same as above

4: Parking at Ijora, Idumota, Agege, Egbeda to go to the market - Same as above

Thank you for the advice and word of encouragement I am truly grateful 🙏🙏🙏🙏

bestman09:
Many of us are ignorant of what they use the catalyst for. The reason they steal it is not even to sell to motorist's.

I learnt that people go to Libya and other places to source for these catalysts, which they sell in the black market, to terrorists who use it to produce local bomb.

That's why it's in hot demand. 90% motorists do not know or care if their cars have catalyst

I was wondering about this too. I was wondering why the high demand from r catalyst in the market. There's always a market for it. And I don't believe that car owners are the major buyers of this equipment.

Give a Nigerian any opportunity to rob you, then you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Those guys are evil; my personal experience was a bad one, after they removed the catalytic, they now weld the pipe, so, I first notice the gear doesn't change ontime and any long drive I usually return with a leaking/burst exhaust, imaging Lagos Tokunbo car o.

For about six months, I was fixing exhaust, until I met a professional panel beater, who now explain the cause and he get it fix.

Imagine what I have to go through because some people wants to make additional money.

i have been a victim of the bloody thieves,one of them removed the catalyst of my bmw only to inform me that the car did not come with it ,the issue has affected the car seriously as every attempt to work the car silencer has caused the beautiful ride brain box to pack up twice because of its sensitivity ..to replace it would cost 450k as i was told

I was once a victim, a penal beater at Sangotedu removed mine from my Prado...my car sound changed overnight....mennnnnn, I took it to some Togolese at General paint opposite Abraham Adesanya and it was discovered. That guy saw his late father for my matter. All of them know me know @general paint even when I bring accident cars from Canada or US, my cars parts are always intact. Anybody around Ajah axis that wants to be free from these thieves should take their cars to Koffi. He is an elderly Togolese, superb and honest Penalbeater, he is at General paint.

I have said it many times and i will keep saying it.

What do you expect of a nation where the government has Zero Humanitarian Plans for her Citizens.

One will be marveled at the Thousands Of Ungodly and Unscrupulous Ways Most Nigerians Makes Money And SURVIVES.

For every Business being done in Nigeria, There is one form or two deceptions manipulations going on underground and behind the Scene. It's extremely HARD to make Big Money ordinarily in Nigeria.

But as for me i'm not marveled anymore because i have dicovered most of the Deceptions and Manipulations in Nigeria.

JOREVA:
In my own case see what the mechanic did to me

There are Godly and Good people in Nigeria.

But unfortunately they aren't up to 5% of the entire Population.

It does not worth that amount been mentioned

Shey Telsa get catalyst?

Trust nobody when it comes to catalyst
I learnt the hard way from a mechanic named Musa. I left my car overnight with him for minor services and he stole my catalyst and stuffed the silencer with foam and netting from a burnt tyre.
He then sealed it up with the help of a panel beater in his shop. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for him the Car now locked into limp mode and was stuck on gear three.
When he came to my house with sob story of the fact that he did not know what happened, I just got him arrested with the panel beater before the story came out that he stole my catalyst.
In the end the had to produce the spare part dealer they sold the catalyst to.
To cut a long story short they returned the catalyst and fixed the car before it came out of limp mode.
Trust nobody with your car.

GWR should just give the Nigeria the record for THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF CRIMINALS PER SQUARE INCH IN THE WORLD.

Mine was removed not too long. I saw it and even thanked or overthanked the brilliant Panel beater (in my eyes , he is doing well). Now all I see is smoke coming from my exhaust every seconds.
