It can turn, but not reverse...not moving with the back, have u seen?

A plane can reverse. I have boarded planes that reversed from the terminal before navigating to the runway. I didn't just see, I experienced.

Nice car, OP. Most people probably do not know the car well enough. Hyundai is a great brand. If I had the money now, I would buy it right away. If I am to squeeze this into my budget, It can't be earlier than December.

Good luck, OP. I hope you find a buyer who knows the brand.

Y'all pathetic! America is not responsible for your problems. There are Nigerian-Americans on this forum. Haters, easy now. As we all know, EVD is not a problem for the US... at all. We will not lose sleep over it.

Politics / Re: Rivers Sends Its Destitute To Home States, Plans Another by AbouNazir(m): 10:09am On Aug 06, 2013
Firstly, I commend these governors for their courage. That is one of the attributes of a leader. Wicked as the actions of these states (Lagos and Rivers) may seem, I believe that this is our best shot at clearing our streets and pavements of beggars and destitutes. The government has tried a lot of other methods in the past but these guys have a way of getting back to the streets. The sad part of the whole story is that new ones are coming in droves. Now, the FG does not support these seemingly endless rehabilitation projects and these people do not pay tax either leaving that continuous burden on the shoulders of the state government.

By this actions, we know there's a definite end. Even if it reduces the number of beggars on our roads, it's good enough. Rehabilitation and sociocultural integration is our best bet, trust me. Who else can really take good care of someone except his family or perhaps his own state of origin, sentiments apart?

NB: I am not even a southerner. So, don't go there. cool

Religion / Re: PARENTS: You need to respect your children too! by AbouNazir(m): 5:29pm On May 12, 2013
Some lucky peeps out there may not be able to identify with the OP. Here is a bit of my own story to buttress the point.

I wish my Dad were on Nairaland. He's a great man. His weakness is that he has the lives of us, his children planned out without regard for our own opinions and purposes. He was a god, practically.

I 'rebelled' a long time ago - left 'our church', resigned from 'our company', moved out from 'our house' - and I paid for it in gold, trust me. I survived with the allowances I got from Mum, siblings and (wait for it)... Dad. He believes that like the prodigal son, I will come to my senses someday but I never did. He was always apt to point out other successful young men he had mentored and how he couldn't fathom why his own son will be the thorn in his flesh. Many people I met dropped their jaws in surprise when they discovered the identity of my father.

As a bonafide pamper, I saw 'things' and almost committed suicide at some point. One of his favourite statements that motivated me whenever I was discouraged was; 'You can never amount to anything without me. You will remain in my shadow if I am truly your father'. I leveraged on his influence and my education and great ideas I got at the time. Then, I got my break mid last year. Today, I have amounted to something, at least. Definitely, I would be richer with him but I surely am happier without him. In our family, I am the only one he respects because he knows 'I've been to hell and back, so I'm not scared of death anymore'.

Please, learn a lesson from this thread.

Great write-up 2buff and @Most.

Note: My Dad didn't hate me, I was told he used to weep in prayer for me. He wept on the phone whenever he spoke with me also.

Properties / Re: Landlords Or Agents Duping Prospective Tenants: How To Avoid Being Scammed Too by AbouNazir(m): 6:42pm On Apr 02, 2013
torhuke: My Mum Fell victim of this kind of scam somtim in 2003 in ikorodu. We were tenants in TOS benson estate (aka marwa estate) owutu, ikorodu. Our LandLord sold d house to aonther person who den gave my mum quit notice becos he desperately needed the house. According to him (the now 'new Landlord'), something or sombody was going to kill him if he does not move out fast from where he was to where we are (the appartment he jst bought). Since our rent had expired abt dt tym and we could nt renew it, my mum statd lookin for another apartment. My mum wx pregnant wt our last born xo we were desperate to move out b4 her due date of delivery. She paid for a new house (2 bedroom flat) arond benson bustop and she was even given d keys to d apartment. The day we went ther wt buckets and mop and brooms to wash the house (wt the sweet mind of moving-in the folowin day or next),the locks had been changed and the keys we were having couldn't open d doors both front nd back. It was like a film. Me, my mum, my yonger sis and bro were jst confused. My kid bro who was abt 5 years den was asking my mum why we were standing outside insteand of going in 2 waash d apartment. We went back home. My mum was jst confused but she styl had a feeln she got the wrong keys becos she and d agent came to d house and he opend d doors wt d keys and dat wx wen she assesd d palce b4 paying d rent for 2-years. The following day, she went to the agents office and there she met 3-men who had also been scamed wt the same apartment. The agent had collected rent frm about four tenants on d same apartment. My mum was the lastt person dat paid from them all. The soldier was d one who changed the keys wen he and 2 others were draging abt who the real tenant is. In all of these, the agents Phantom ofice wx locked and the agent wx no where to be found. To cut the long story short, that was haw my mum was duped of #175,000 back in 2003. That was wht made us relocate to ondo state till 2day.

What an experience! Most times, topics like these remind us that we live in a jungle where only the fittest survive. That's the exact reason you can't be too careful when dealing with people. Thanks to the OP for highlighting these challenges.

Politics / Re: Bomb Blast In Kano (Sabon Gari Luxury Bus Park) by AbouNazir(m): 11:14pm On Mar 18, 2013
This news robbed me of my appetite. Whenever there is a crucial discuss in the public domain highlighting government failures or inadequacies, a bomb blast crawls out of the woodwork. Coincidence? No. Like seriously! Heck! It is even more shameful when your friends from other peaceful developing countries bring these kinda news to your attention most of the time. Arise, Nigeria.

May the dead rest in peace. Amen.

Foreign Affairs / Re: 4 Killed In California Shooting Spree by AbouNazir(m): 10:12pm On Feb 19, 2013
50calibre:

And when you say the whole world is laughing at us do you mean US( as in United States ) or us the pronoun?


I meant us, the pronoun. It's in small caps. The US, being an abbreviation would have been capitalised.
Foreign Affairs / Re: 4 Killed In California Shooting Spree by AbouNazir(m): 8:49pm On Feb 19, 2013
This is becoming a fad. I am for gun control. People campaigning against it will sing a new song when their families or friends become victims. Heck! A liberal society like the US should put a leash on gun ownership. The rest of the world is laughing at us. America will not self-destruct! cry

Nice ride. I like. With such a big heavy car you might be reasonable to expect bad handling on the road, you’ll be surprised. The Voyager is smooth and responsive like a german car. That's why everybody is getting one. cool

Nairaland / General / Re: Which One You Will Press ? by AbouNazir(m): 11:51am On Jan 11, 2013
I'll go for the green button.

Why? Some people may be scared to press the red button for the fear of loosing out whereas for me, risk-taking forms the very essence of entrepreneurship. You can achieve the impossible only by snapping out of your present condition and play a few gambles. The maximum that can happen is loosing the $1m and it's not the end of the world, yet.

A bit of adventure won't kill. Hmmph! A risk averse person lives a dull and boring existence and can never discover new horizons.
