greatbrian:Very true. Different tires have different speed ratings. |
BabaIbo:This is where ur lack of knowledge comes but I don't blame u. A lot of people think every v8 powered cars is faster than every v6. That's so wrong. I will stick to the Lexus gx470 for this comparison. What u don't know is that the weight of a car plus aerodynamics determine how fast they will be. 2009 Lexus gx470 is boxy and weighs over 1 tonne more than a 2009 Honda acdord V6. Bro that V6 is faster, just that it will do so at a higher rpm than the Lexus. Why do u think power bikes with smaller engines are faster than a lot of V6 cars with bigger engines? Because of their light weight. 2009 Honda Accord V6 specs 3.5L V6 271 HP 0-100km/hr in 6.9 seconds Quarter mile in 15 seconds 0-200km/hr in 30.4 seconds 2009 Lexus gx470 4.7L V8 263 hp 0-100km/hr in 8.2 seconds Quarter mile in 15.9 seconds 0-200km/hr in 58 seconds U still think the V8 Lexus is faster than the V6 accord? Guy no be ever V8 fast past even some 4 plugs sef. The weight and aerodynamics plays a lot here. U also have 4o consider the fact that most SUVs are not built for for cornering at high speed. If u check the sun visor of many SUVs u will see the warning like the picture below.

greatbrian:The reason people attacked u was because of the way u put the blame on the Corolla as if it was the Corolla that caused the tire to blow out. A lot of things can cause a tire to blow out at high speed. Over inflated tire will blow out at high speed, u really need to get one of those portable tire guages, these useless road side vilcanizers are murderers, one of them once put 60psi on my tire when I was about going on a long journey. That's a tire that was supposed to be inflated to 32 at cold, he put 60, I had to double check and deflated it myself to the recommended pressure. Another thing that can cause tire blow out is work our tire, bad roads, etc. One of these is the culprits, not the Corolla. |
Bacteriologist:Not just corolla. The only time u need brake is when shifting out of park. |
greatbrian:This is normal na. |
BabaIbo:I clearly said only a few select ones. U can't put a Lexus GX470 on the road and think it would outrun a Honda accord. v6 just because the Lexus is V8. That Lexus weighs a lot and its awkwardly tall, not good for aerodynamics and definitely not good for speed. |
BabaIbo:Only select SUV's are made for speed. Most of them are not. They are just cruisers or to carry families, while some are just luxurious. Because of their height and higher ground clearance most of them are unsafe at taking corners at high speed. |
fabienjoe:This is what many people don't know. They think Suv's are for speeds. SUV's generally have higher chances of rolling over when u lose control, this is why they are not meant for speed. Only a few select ones. |
BabaIbo:A Toyota corolla sport will comfortably do 160km/hr, albeit at higher rpm but the car will do it comfortably. OP's car just had a worn out tire. I won't advice anyone to do beyond 120-130 on any Nigerian highway though. |
greatbrian:The problem is not the poor corolla, the problem is the tire. If u use this same expired tire on a Mercedes Benz E class this same thing would still have happened and might even become worse for u, because with more power comes more responsibilities, with the benz u would be tempted to go faster and tire busting at higher speed means higher risk. |
Bukiouspekis:What evidence do u have that she actually paid the blogger to write this. Take the words of Iyabo Ojo with a pinch of salt. |
Wiseandtrue:Did u watch the video? |
okoroemeka:Bros so far u have 1 honda key that can start the car, then u can clone as many keys as u like and all of them will start. Keyword here is u must have at least 1 key that can start the car handy. That is the key u will need to clone the rest. I've been using Honda/Acura since 2010 and I always have 2 keys that start the cars. |
okoroemeka:The spare key u have was only cut to open the doors and can also put the car in accessory mode, but doesn't have a chip that could be programmed to start the car. That doesn't mean u can't program a spare key that will start the car. Toyota on the other hand are notorious for making cars without transponders, u just cut the key and the car will start without need to program. The 1998-2001 camry is notorious for this while a Honda have been using transponder keys since 1998. In fact some 2003 camry still don't have transponder. They made is standard from 2005 models I think. |
slawormiir:I will be very happy if Man utd can score lots of tap in goals. Its not as easy as many people think. At the moment a big chunk of man utd goals are from individual brilliance and few tap is. Scoring tap in requires a lot of experience to know where the ball will be and then tap in. |
KillingIsFun:Abeg tell them. Everybody to dem dey use fake age. There are guys that even live in Nigeria that are 21 and still look older than this guy sef. |
chatinent:There are boys even in Nigeria that are 21 and look older than this. |
OluwaJohn77:I watched the video and everything he said was exactly as it was written. Which one is jara again? |
WTF is this? |
Always escaping with bullet wounds . Its the same thing all the time, shoot one of them dead and others escape with bullet wounds. They never arrest any of them alive. |
AroleOduduwa2:So his lawyer deliberately decided to lie that he was arrested in Benin Republic. Igboho even spoke after the raid in a telephone conversation that was allover the internet. This ur theory no just enter at all. It is the same way people tried to spread the propaganda that MNK was killed when army raided his house until he showed up abroad. In fact if MNK had decided to go AWOL after that raid, it would probably have caused a serious unrest as the propaganda that he was killed would have gained more weight. |
Calibrator:This issue of using soldiers to harras people need to be checked. This doesn't have to be a tribalistic issue because it can happen to anyone. I hate it that whenever the igbos are the victim then there is always that propaganda of being marginalized. We have seen soldiers beat up other tribes too. They need to go back to the barracks and stop mettling in civil issues. One thing about ladipo is once u buy something from there like an engine or a gearbox, it will be very difficult to return it without paying extra to get it replaced. What I can say about what happened here is the show of power from both sides, something that could have been settled amicably now ended up in bloodshed. Force does not solve anything. I once bought an engine at ladipo way back in 2012. My mechanic didn't check the engine very well, he just checked the outside and we bought it. On getting to his shop, after taking out the spark plug he realized the inside of the engine was so bad, he opened the cylinder and lo and behold, the engine looked like something that was rotten. We didn't even bother mouting it. Next day we took it back and the seller delayed us for several hours. We showed him the evidence to look at the inside of the engine he sold to us but he refused to refund us. We reported to their task force and those ones too wasted our time. Later in the day he took us to a warehouse where they sell direct tokunbo engines that have not been tampered with in the end I got another engine but not without paying extra N60, 000. That engine he sold to me will still be sold to another person and that one too will come to return it and the cycle will continue. Although some dealers are honest and more considerate. I remember buying a gearbox frok one young dealer, we mounted it and the gearbox didn't work well. I called him and the next day he sent a bike to bring another gearbox worhiut paying a dime. Only paid the bike man transportation fees. |
Xtianah09:You say what? Did u see what happened during blacklivesmatter protest? Search youtube u will see many videos of Americans looting different shops. Some even looted a car shop. lots of clothing scores. jewelry, etc were looted. Come and see how people were looting shoes . One guys watched from his home from his cctv how his entire shop was emptied and there was nothing he could do.. and that was in America. Now compare what will happen if it was in Africa. The reality is just pray there is no breakdown of law and order because once there is then the security agencies can't do anything at least for the first 24 hours or so. This is applicable to any country. Once there are many crimes going on at different places at the same time especially as a result of a protest then the security of that nation will be frozen at least for some time before they could bring back law and order. This is why they have strict laws in some countries like China. |
onenaija001:Lol, who is even giving u vaccine in Nigeria? How many doses of vaccines dey Nigeria, I'm not sure what they have can even serve 1% of the population. 48% of Americans have been fully vaccinated, over 50% of England have been fully vaccinated, China have about 240 million of their citizens fully vaccinated, France 36%, Germany 42%, Italy 37%, Spain 44%. U say u no want vaccine, where u even see the vaccine sef? Very soon these western countries will shut down their borders to countries who have not been vaccinated and I won't blame them They have been working very hard to get their citizens vaccinated, someone cannot just come from another country where the government and citizens are non challant and come and spoil their hard work. This is the same way many rejected the polio vaccine for newborns due to ignorance and there was a spike in crippled children especially from the North. Look around, how many crippled children do u see these days after many parents have embraced having their new borns vaccinated. |
Bonapart:Over 50% of England population have been fully vaccinated while several millions that haven't been vaccinated already have some form of immunity due to previous infection. Guy u don't want to pray that what happened in England during the early days of covid happen in Nigeria. Maybe our own system or weather is helping us but u got to be dreaming if u think covid is not real. |
joelbooks:My brother that GOAT � debate can finally be put to rest jare. Haba, the only thing Ronaldo fans always go back to is that Messi has never won a major trophy for Argentina. Yes major trophy for the country is important but it's a collective trophy not individual. Ok now that Messi has 1, it has become very difficult for Ronaldo fans to try to argue who's the real goat. Just take a look. Ronaldo has NEVER won best player in any international competions and he has played in 4 world cups and 5 European championships. Messi has played 4 world cups and 6 Copa America, won best player in world cup 2014 and best player in Copa America 2015 and 2021. Ronaldo won euros 2016 but greizmann won best player. He won Nations league but bernado was the best player. There is no argument who the real GOAT is here. |
The so called movie is rubbish anyway. But wait oh, why hasn't Netflix been sued for the El Chapo series, they used real names and events. |
First major title, really? So champions league and la liga are no longer major titles? |
This same country that will collect 50k from all passengers coming into the country at the airport. They will say it's for covid 19 test but they will never conduct any test. Once u pay they let u go and ask u to go and self isolate lol. |
Judolisco:Which of the epl clubs were interested in him and he chose to sit at stoke? Don't tell me clubs like westbrom, Norwich or Fulham. Clubs wey their legs no strong for EPL. U got to be able to get the balance between his wages and the quality of the clubs that want him. He's reportedly earning 30k a week at stoke, of course if a club like westbrom comes with 25k he's gonna reject it because eveb westbrom no sure they can remain in the EPL. Trust me if better EPL club had come for him he would have left stoke since. |
PrinceOfLagos:In as much as she has said some things that were not true, u cannot deny that she has also broken many news that are true even before the news went public. An example is the death of Abba Kyari. Many people called her a lunatic then but ended up being the truth. Take her words with a pinch of Salt but u cannot totally disregard. She knows her journalism.

Promzy99:Adjusting the rpm manually does not solve any problems. RPM of modern cars are controlled by the ECU and should not be manually adjusted. Even if u adjust this rpm to 2,000 it still won't stop the vibration when Ac is turned on provide he has changed to manual compressor |
