Requestmechanic:
All three options have their merits, but based on your criteria for classiness, speed, solidity, luxury, fun, reliability, and practicality, the 2016 Mercedes Benz E350 Luxury might be your best bet. It offers a luxurious driving experience, solid build quality, and a powerful engine while retaining a sense of class and practicality. Plus, its timeless design ensures it still looks sophisticated on the road.

If you reside in major cities with hundreds of decent mechanics who specialise in German cars and part availability is not an issue then the Benz is a no brainer.

If otherwise, the Accord it is.

Never been a fan of Kias. There's this element of cheapness to it.

Thank you boss for your input. Your last line got me lol...

I don't know much about those year benz.

The Accord has always been a leader in the sedan segment since its debut in 2013 and that touring is world class.

The Optima though more recent has expensive parts and not too common because the 2011 to 2014 engines were no go area though the 2015 upwards were improved upon.

The E class though not too common is a master piece and a budget S class treat it well and it won't disappoint. Also the vehicle is not a frequent daily driver so the benz would do just fine.

Ok, good. Thank you boss for this.

You seem to have made up your mind on the E already. Good luck. I use a 2014 Accord EXL (i4 not V6) and honestly it exceeds my expectations.

Wow! Glad to hear that the Accord exceeds your expectations. Honestly, I'm inclining more towards the E350 but I need to be more informed that's why I'm here. Not all that glatters is gold. Thank you.

Wetin you gain if you no get benz for your garage. Benz still commands respect at old age.

Lol. I was expecting your detailed analysis especially on what to expect, what to do/not do. Thank you boss. The W212 seems to be leading...

The Benz has the same 4.5 stars with the Honda on Edmunds so I'll say go with the Benz especially if you can get one assembled in Germany

Another interesting perspective. Thank you sir for your input

Hello, everyone. The title says it all. I want to make a final decision on which one to go for between a 2016 Mercedes Benz E350 Luxury; a 2017 Honda Accord V6 Touring; and a 2019 Kia Optima SX. I need something classy, fast, solid, luxurious, fun, reliable, and of course practical. I have a daily driver already, so she is only going to be used sparingly. Good road isn't a problem where I live. Thank you.

While people focus more on NDLEA and ICPC, things are happening also elsewhere. NDIC is releasing letters, and so also NFIU. NPA will soon embark on a massive replacement. NIMASA will very soon call, so also NERC. CBN is employing per-second on a 24/7 basis. I wish everyone here success.

Hello everyone, please is it advisable for someone who had a CS delivery to apply for NDLEA or any paramilitary job?

Apply. If the training is coming pretty soon (and there's no waiver for people with a condition like yours), then the risk isn't worth taking, forget it. But if it will take time, you can give it a shot after proper consultation with your surgeon. Conversely, the CS may be a blessing in disguise for God has His mysterious ways of doing things. Congratulations and best wishes.

Olanrewaju010:
You mean there are still some people that will reject NDIC offer?🙄

Lol. At a certain stage of our life, money isn't the only determining factor in making a decision. Factors such as carrier progression, passion for the job, environment, personal conviction, and goals play more vital roles. For instance, if you are employed as SM in NDIC and at the same time PM at, let's say, SEC, you may likely choose SEC over NDIC due to the GL difference, regardless of the mouth-watering pay package NDIC is known for. A friend left PenCom for an Agency that pays much less but with 2 GL (6 years) ahead of his previous position. Another turned down a better NPA offer because he can't cope with the "madness" in Lagos. Someone was looking for who to take the NCDMB slot in his family but "none was willing to go and live in Bayelsa". A lady quit her CBN job and open a school, she paid for Hajj (again) on the ground that her previous Hajj was paid with the CBN money... She wasn't sure if it was accepted or not, but now she paid with Halal (pure) money, (as she put it). I know someone who left the office of the Accountant General of the Federation when his juniors (in the same office) were busy buying mansions at Jabi, Guzape, and Life Camp... A friend left NDIC for FIRS due to GL differences, another is heading for NERC. There're a plethora of reasons why people decline or quit a seemingly good job. Everyone in this life has a story to tell but if what we see is all we can see, then we've seen nothing. I wish everyone here success.

Abeg watin he mean if Big man the read your WhatsApp messages (like greetings, congratulations text etc) but only reply 1 out of 10.


You're lucky that he has the time to reply one in ten, some may not even read your message, while most that read may not bother to reply. Now, don't disturb him with frequent random messages,
master the art of timing. If for instance, he's a Muslim, be consistent with your Friday messages and the best time to send them is early in the morning before he leaves home when the day is still fresh. Ramadan is a few hours away, it's another opportunity (assuming he's a Muslim). Some were lucky to get good jobs via this method. Someone got CAC (during Al Mustapha), another DPR (during Sarki), and another also CBN (during Sanusi), but my friend wasn't lucky as he got blocked by Umar Ibrahim, the then NDIC boss. Nonetheless, these people have a lot going on their heads and they've many interests to carry along... However, securing a job in an A-rated Agency is worth the patience, the wait, and the risk. Your children will forever thank you for that especially if you take them to exclusive schools which means a "good" cycle early in life. In today's world, nothing guarantees success than determination, information, location, and association (connection). Best wishes.

How about CBN?

To my mind, CBN (except you're at the management level), is not. Sorry. The "only" good thing about the CBN is the unrestricted access to loans at almost zero interest rates. Having CBN on your CV is another plus also. People are leaving CBN for some of the Agencies I've earlier mentioned. Their per-second recruitment/replacement which is now becoming a norm also comes with some impediments.

These two are kinda incomparable though. The former is a security career opportunity whilst the latter is a chance for you to grow, build yourself and explore.
The Federal Job, is it A class category? But all the same if you are sure you will make it into the PTDF scheme, Then that's where you should focus on and it's a chance to Japa out of this shithole.
Note.. To get PTDF scholarship is not be beans o, it's mainly based on merit. If you are not sure of yourself jejely collect the Job. Good luck

People are coming back to take good jobs in the "shithole". This Japa mentality has done more harm than good to some Nigerian youth, sadly. Life outside Nigeria isn't as rosy as many are made to believe.

MBello24:

For a person to be given a federal Job and this PTDF overseas Scholarship which one will be more better?

If to choose one only .

It depends on the "federal job" in question. If it's the elite A-rated Agency, grab it and forget about PTDF Scholarship. But if it's a Ministry or all these mushroom agencies, take the scholarship and don't look back. Studying abroad, especially in the UK, opens doors you may not sometimes imagine but working in an A-list agency in Nigeria will make you live like a King. I wish I can say it better. Best wishes.
