Anybody that knows football very well will know mikel obi is still the most technically gifted player we have in our midfield (apart from maybe iheanacho, but then they both don't play the same role. Nacho is an attacking midfielder who plays behind the striker while mikel plays deeper in the holding midfield role).

I'm not a fan of mikel, but no doubt we need him in our team to keep possesion going (that is when he is at his best). Its a shame he is the best we have in that role, so we have to live with that for now. Mikel is still more techinally sound than even onazi who is more a box to box midfielder. Uchebo, azeez, babatunde, Moses, musa etc are not as technical as mikel. The problem is mikel has not been doing his job well. But the sad thing is there's no one who can do it better than him at the moment.

Because they want to upgrade and they know the EOD will always sell for good money.

Because a lot of people bought that car as it is still one of the best accord Honda has built.

For me Personally the only major problem that car has is the fragile transmission which is often aggravated by people using the wrong transmission fluid. That car does not tolerate wrong fluid in the transmission. It is difficult to find a good mechanic that can rebuild the transmission here in Nigeria, hence it is better to buy another transmission when it gives up. These days at 80k the gearbox is not too expensive and readily available.

@abaticaly, I think honda is softer than toyota.
@ johnny, try another model of ur car brfore u do any thing on ur car.

I don't know of other honda models, but I think the honda accord has a stiffier steering and handles more like a sports car than toyota Camry.

Haha cityng, the new autosbay/econelectronics/kingschild123 of nairaland

U for talk since say u need this title nau, we for don give u since. Oya take am... The new %+%//×\$÷$;+ thread on nairaland .

Op, if u can open the door from outside but not from inside, then someone might have activated the child's lock. If u can't open it from either side then u need to see a panel beater.

There might be nothing wrong with ur car op. The softness/stiffness of the steering varies for different cars. I'd say find another car of the same model as urs and compare. I know honda power steering is not as soft as toyota.

uboma:
There wouldnt be any point responding to you after this...

I guess I need ur lame response lwkmd

uboma:
since you have a problem with comprehension, lemme oblige you just this once.

A Nairalander above said 'sales volume of a vehicle should determine one's choice of vehicle'. I pointed out that in my location, Jap mobiles sells faster than German cars. 90% of the people around me goes for either a Honda or a Toyota brand. That was why i compared the Accord with my Bimmer just to butress that for me personally, i will prefer the handling of a vehicle in making my choice instead of the volume/rate of sales...

Mr comprehension, if going by ur reasoning, then I can also come out and say I prefer the handling of an Audi A8 to that of Toyota corolla. Now does that sound like a fair comparison to u? Afterall the corolla sells more than the Audi.

uboma:
If you had comprehended my earlier post very well, you wouldnt spilling out the above thrash. Read through my posts on this thread very slowly so you can get the gist. Take your beef elsewhere.

Bro no be fight o, and I don't see anything that looks like beef in what I wrote. U were comparing a 2003 Honda accord with a 5 series BMW. 2 cars of completely different class. Try comparing the BMW with Toyota aristo (which is sold as Lexus GS in north America). Then we will have a fair comparison... Definitely not with the accord.

uboma:
Sales is not always a good indication that a car is good. In my location, Jap mobiles sells fast here than German cars. That doesnt mean i will be swayed towards getting a Jap mobile.

I recently drove extensively my colleague's Honda Accord 2003 model, V6 and with an automatic transmission but you know what? The Accord runs very fast but I still prefer the handling of my Bimmer 520i '98 model with the manual transmission.

The rate at which a cars sells doesnt determine my choice of it...

When will u people realize that u are comparing the wrong cars? BMW 5 series is an executive / mid size luxury car while the Honda accord is a mid size family sedan. The BMW is superior and the one u drove is probably the awd version. So what would u expect?

Maybach Exelero

This car has 700 horsepower and goes 0-60mph in
4.4 seconds! Wait... a $30,000 Subaru WRX STi can do
0-60mph in about that time? Ok. And how much is
the Maybach Exelero? Oh, it's worth over $8,000,000.
Wait...that car is 8 MILLION dollars!? What the hell?
Is the car made out of diamonds? Does it run on
cocaine? Are the seats made out of whale p enis skin?
I DON'T GET IT!!!

Fixed...

Anyway, the maybach exelero is not any car u can just go to the car lot and buy. It is a specially made one off design built car. It is custom made and that is why is is so expensive because only one of it was built.

That's a camry dashboard.

AutosBay, u never tell us whether I am right on the brilliance car pix.

I got a bluetooth scanner from konga.
Plugged it to the diagnostics connector.
Did all bluetooth pairing.
But the funny thing is when you launch the app on Android and PC, it fails to connect with the device

What app are u using?

It very good to let your car be in idle for 5-8mins in the morning and let it get to operating temperature before moving out,this help alots in terms of fuel consumption and engine efficiency,also make engine to last longer.

5 -8 mins is too much. As a matter of fact just start ur car and start driving, before u get to the freeway ur engine would be warm already.

As for me, I start my car, open the gate, reverse outside, close the gate and drive. Between opening the gate and closing it back takes about 2 mins and enough time for the engine to warm. Also driving from my street to the freeway takes another 2 minutes, by the time I get to the freeway my engine has reached optimum temperature. Letting the engine idle is a waste of time, driving slowly before u get to the freeway gets the job done. Unless of course u live by the expressway where u can just get to 70km/hr immediately u leave ur house, that is the only time I can advice u to let ur car idle for a few minutes before moving.

First of all, what kind of vehicle does ur friend drive? No matter the kind of vehicle it is not necessary to rev the car before driving out every morning, tell ur friend to save the environment even if he likes wasting fuel.

In extremely cold regions where temperature drops to 0 degrees Celsius in the morning (which Nigeria is not, temperature hardly gets to 18 degrees in Nigeria), then it could be advised to let the engine warm for about 5 mins before driving out to warm the oil, but revving is not advised. In Nigeria, just start ur car and drive, but drive slowly the first couple of minutes before firing.

well I really think that is to d best of ur knowledge.european products re made only for the elite and not for d ordinary citizens.d highest japanese car can't even b driven by little celebreties like wizkid or davido.its a fact.asian vehicles mostly dominate parts of africa.europeans go for strictly european cars.asians started car manufacture with d likes of toyota and datsun(nissan)which re just trash compared with powerful european cars.bently ferrari,boughatti,jaguar,gto,mercedes,lambourghini,torrero,range rover among so mannnnnnnnyyyy others re d most xpensive in d world.wen did asia wake up here.lol.if u must knw,japanese cars re always to a fault,last week,toyota recalled 1.2 million vehicles to their plant because of brake issues.european vehicles can't b compared with honda,toyota,mazda,nissan,kia,misubishi,hyundia.majority of dem re shaft and front wheel vehicles and can't even pass EU standards.Like d fone u mentioned,pls iphone is an american phone,not asian.did u knw dat there re marketing strategies btw countries,EU xchange dese gadget with asians cos of market profitability and oneness.did u really tink dat europeans cannot make these so called andriod,windows whatever.its just for xchange of goods.china xchange solar panel with d EU,and get back french and spanish wine.read bbc daily.I don tire to educate u.lol joking.

Again, u are talking BS. I know Apple is an American company (still not European). And since when did Automobile company become the epitome of technology? Yes I agree Europeans lead when it comes to LUXURY cars. But guess what.. luxury cars is not the epitome of technology because only a few people can afford them. Even at that Toyota still came out with the Lexus LFA which can stand against anything the Ferrari's and Lamborghinis have, and at $400,000 it is not cheap. Toyota also made hybrid cars popular.. u think that is not innovation? In case u don't know, the Lexus RX series is the best selling SUV in the USA.. does that have anything to do with Africa? Toyota Camry and Honda Accord and Civic has been one of the top selling cars in the USA for a long time now. Toyota Landcruiser is still one of the most trusted and highest selling full sized SUV in the world, they make cars for the poor, the middle class and for the rich. If u ask me I would say they are wiser.

Wait for the BIG one.

Toyota Corolla is the UNDISPUTED all time world's best selling car with 1.2 million units sold till date. How many of those do u think were sold in Nigeria. Making affordable cars doesn't mean they they are wack. So if every company makes expensive cars like the Range Rover or Sports or G wagon, then only the extremely rich can afford a car.. but guess what, Toyota are wiser and doesn't think like that. Toyota Brand name is number 14 in the world, ahead of Mercedes Benz which is number 16 , Honda is number 20 while Audi is number 31. So much for European domination. We all know European cars terrible at reliability, consumer reports don't lie, google it urself.

Now let's leave automobiles for now and back to the topic at hand... name one popular household equipment that the Europeans really dominate. Bose is an American company. Maybe Bang and Olufsen but in how many homes do u see their products? The whole world has embraced Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, LG and Sharp which are all Asian companies. In video games the Europeans are also missing. What we have is Xbox owned by an American company, PlayStation owned by Sony , Asian company and then Nintendo which is also an Asian company.

akinsadeez:
which one is hong Kong company and Chinese company again. Is hong Kong not a region of china? A hong Kong company is also a Chinese company, therefore a chinko company shikena!

Then it is very logical to call Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, HTC, Sharp and LG shinko companies too since they are all Asian companies. Thats not all, u can also call Toyota, Lexus, Honda, acura, Nissan, Infiniti all shinko companies.

Mind u, Samsung is number 9 in the World's most Valuable brand (a South Korean company, which is a chinko company according to u). Toyota is number 14, ahead of Mercedes Benz which sits at number 16, Honda is number 20. So much for Chinko companies.

pedro08:
well u wouldn't hav said dat if u knew d diffrence btw chinese and european technology.calling european phone chinko.rubbish.dnt ever say dat again.european technology is d hub of modern technology.asians are just copycats.

This is a load of BS. Europeans technology the hub of modern technology? Asians are copycats? Don't make me laugh. Maybe in terms of automobile I can agree with u, but even at that the Japanese are not far behind. Toyota made hybrid cars a household name with the prius don't forget and they have cars that can at least stand against the Europeans.

What about phones? Name one European phone that is top of the food chain. Or maybe u think the iPhone is an European product. Samsung, htc, LG, sony all are Asian companies, what do the Europeans have?

What about household equipment like hdtv, blu ray players, washing machines, home theatres, cameras, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. The names u will see are still sony, Samsung, LG, Sharp, Panasonic. All are Asian companies. So tell me how European technology is the hub of modern technology. Dem dey learn.

instead of me to buy this china mtk phones i will rather buy UK used samsng galaxy or sony xperia. those phones are made with power. not this rubbish

I use to be a Samsung die hard fan. I've owned the galaxy s2, galaxy note 1, Samsung galaxy s3 and note 2 (all bought brand new). But one thing with Samsung phones is they try to pack every funtions into their phones, most are something u don't even use and some of them don't even work like the smart stay, s voice, etc. On the long run, their phones will start lagging after a few months of use.

My eyes are opened now, instead of buying the galaxy s4 I bought HTC one m7 last year and till date that phone does not lag one bit even though it is running on snapdragon 600 processor, plus I get one of the best hardware u can get on an android phone ( on par with the iPhone). The phone feels premium rather than Samsung's cheap plastic. This year I also ignored the galaxy s5 and got an LG G3 which to me feels more premium, better value for money.

nani667:
Err... N52,000 is NOT cheap sir.... That's about the same price as Tecno Phantom Z.... Yet the specs is nothing compared to Phantom Z..... Wiko certainly didn't do their homework before coming to Nigeria, their ridiculous pricing will be their downfall....

Err, u talk as if tecno phantom z is superior. They both run on Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A7 processor. They both have 16mp fear facing and 8mp front facing camera. They both run on 2gb of ram, 1080 ×1920 screen resolution, similar screen size, wiko got Bluetooth 4.0 while the tecno has Bluetooth 3.0.

As u can see, they both are similar in terms of specs but wiko highway has a better build quality. Specs is not everything, it depends on how oem's optimize their software . both phones are similar and price is just about right.

Electronzeez:
sir this is wrong...you want to compare a 2.5GHZ quad core snapdragon processor with a 1.3 dual core processor? And u dont want to comapare and AMOLED screen(S5) with ordinary HD screen by wiko?..do u?

Sir, I was talking about one plus one. U can google it urself, it is running cynaomodgen 11 out of the box based on android 4.4.2, and its a product of china. 1080p display, 5.5 inches, snapdragon 801 processor, 13 mp camera and 3 gig of ram. In terms of raw power this phone packs a lot, and cynogenmod is a win win because it comes out of the box, no need to root and I can be assured of updates from cynogenmod.

And guess what, it sells for $350 for the 64gb version. That is half the price of the galaxy s5 but functionally it is on per with the s5.

Wonderlands:
wait u wanna tell me this phones can perform like samsung phones or. xperia when compared?

Dude, the xperia z3 sells for 100k plus while this phone sells for 52k. That is half the price, and its still got a 1080p display , 2g of ram and what core processor. For half the price of the xperia z3 it's a bargain. The xperia might edge it but not by a big margin. The price is justifiable.

The one plus one is half the price of xperia z2 but bech Mark result shows the one plus one is more powerful with its snapdragon 801 and 3gig of ram and 1080p display.

Electronzeez:
oh God! will u guys stop wallowing in technological illusion??.

What if i tell you 70% of apple product are manufactured in china will you call apple device a chinco after knowing that??.

Do not blame china for the rampant fake phones you see in nigeria market, they are only producing according to specification set by the owner of such bussiness.

And i don't need to tell you the c in c who bring these phones to nigeria.

The annoying thing is most people don't even know that wiko is a French company, not China. Even if it is China, all Apple products are assembled in China, techinall they are made in China. Instead of appreciating good things we keep bashing. The one plus one is a China phone sold for half the price of a galaxy s5, but that phone will stand head to head with the s5, with the s5 edging out just by a small margin, but one plus one is a win considering its price.

Samsung and HTC phones are expensive because they pay millions in advertisement and get the money back from consumers. Yes they innovate but those other companies aren't far behind. Before anyone starts bashing me, I don't use tecno, I use HTC one m8 but I appreciate a good phone when I see one.

nani667:
It will never put any pressure on samsung.... Samsung devices will still sell Irrespective of whether or not these Chink0 peeps keep dumping their crap phones here.... It's Tecno that should be concerned

Wiko is a French company and not chinko, u should get ur facts right. Moreover what is it with chinko by the way, are we better than them? In case u don't know . The one plus one is a china phone and its still one of the best android phones out there sitting on top of the food chain and very affordable because they don't pay big money for adverts like Samsung and HTC.

Wiko highway sells for N52,000 on jumia. That it is cheap doesn't mean its a bad phone, the price is reduced because they don't pay millions in adverts.

Tweetums:
So Nigeria is now their dumping ground for chinko phones because of cheap things we like to buy abi?

Nigerians, na wa for Una. IPhone 6 sells for 200k u say its too expensive, now a company is bringing an affordable phone to Nigeria u still say naija is a dumping ground. Which way sef, can u ever be satisfied?

Weah96:
And you call this wisdom? Hahaha. Where are you from?

In most parts of Africa, asking a church to turn down their music will immediately cause them to suspect a demonic motivation.

Not only will they play even louder, but now your name will be shouted over that same speakerphone.

They will definitely use my name as s prayer point snd the DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE will become more intensified. I think I'll just start by discussing with the landlord association.

More opinions.

When u see posts like the picture below, u don't even need to call because it too obvious that it is a SCAM. First the picture is not that of a golf 5 as advertised (don't know which vw car that is ), and no where on the world will u get a golf 5 for even 4 times the price advertised. Like someone suggested, if the management can't keep their site clean they should just close olx Nigeria.

wat im saying is dat Technology has blind folded people 2 d extent of replacing d bible with an ipad, "think abt it.

Bros iPad is not replacing the Bible. With the iPad it is easier and faster to open a passage, get different translations and easier to carry. If u still think it is wrong then u shouldn't be using the hard cover KJV bible either because it was technology that brought that. U should go and look for the scrolls used 2,000 years ago before the invention of hard cover bibles.
