@ Ola, Olorogun1 and BizBooks have spoken wisely but in parables and I will sound it out loud to you, STAY AWAY FROM THAT DODGE MINI-VAN,  the agaggravationsater on is not worth it.
AutosRe: Car Dealers Help Needed Here by alanbolo(m): 8:19pm On Oct 26, 2009
Ola, it's true that the mileage is very high, As much as I will agree that it depends on the past users in regard to maintenance, what u should look for is the cost to replace the engine and transmission at worst case scenario.

I have dealt with numerous cars over 200k and those that bought it are still appreciable till date. At times, u may have the odometer very high while the actual engine mileage might be very low compared to the dash board readings.

PoliticsRe: Must Read: Nasir El-rufai To Yar Adua, About His Refusal Of Nigeria Passport. by alanbolo(m): 3:21pm On Oct 13, 2009
In as much as we all agreed that no Nigerian should be denied his fundamental rights,  let's leave it that way.  

During the  regime of Idiagbon and Operation War Against Indiscipline, what happened to those houses that were destroyed for drainage blockage.   We all support it then cause we want to go back to the right thing.  During the time of El-Rufai, we can sy all sort of things cause it's an open political system where we can criticize.  

What will happen to Fashola after he leave office, pple already complaining that the poor are not given the opportunity to sell by the road side, driven away from their illegal structures on top of drainages?

In as much as I welcomed the development of space programs in Nigeria, am a bit skeptical about the implementations when it comes down to managements. lipsrsealed    It is meant to go well with info. tech but as it is said b4, things do go awry in our 9ja case and I hope this will be different in a positive way.

I believed Ikeymann00 meant 100,000 miles.   As per most manual, it is recommended that the timing belt is changed at 60,000 miles.     I've bough used and new ones, and it all amounts to maintainability,   I don't think I'm ready to sell my new car of 4yrs old yet, however, I still have it behind my head that the used car still have some issues.

who are you guys leaving this country for? accorging to my grandfather's forecast 'by the year 2013 there will be nobody left in Nigeria if, '
Life is a journey where U learn along the way. At this stage of Life, we are in mid-life-training school in USA and we'll come back home when we finish schooling.
TravelRe: 6,006 Nigerians Win 2010 Us Dv Lottery by alanbolo(m): 3:30pm On Oct 09, 2009
Just as Bidemi12 and others have posted, Life in US is far much more better if you are ready to work for it,   With the minimum wage, U can survive once u know what u're doing and how to manage your resources,  Though we do have opulent lifestyles over here but those who have little income found ways to survive even with their minimum.   I have seen my fellows 9ja doing house maid, working as apprentices, restaurant help cause they do not have the legal permit to work.  This Visa lottery is an opportunity to refine and showcase our skill just as princek12 said earlier.  

I'm a product of DV-Lottery and it have afforded me the opportunity to improve and acquire skills beyond what I could have obtained back home.  It also afford me the opportunity to contribute to the economy in terms of trades.   Since no one was forced to stay in USA without freedom of movement, I think it is wrong to define DV lottery as a form of Brain-drain or Slavery.  Let us look at it as an oppurtunity to swim with the big fish in a big sea. (Nemo) wink

PropertiesRe: Best Place To Live In Lagos? Need Your Opinion(abroad 27yrs) by alanbolo(m): 4:38pm On Sep 15, 2009
@ Richiecookie, german007, thirdeye and all others, I'm really grateful to stumble across this post which I've eventually send the links to a whole bunch of friends on-line, We all need these types of forum as to enable 9jas in diaspora to come back home,

I really appreciate of the courage of german to return home just after 9 years, I wish i can say the same too. Stuttgart - Amsterdam - London and USA (finally) while communicating most of the times with people going and coming almost every two months, and living in 9ja community here in NJ. I did not really miss home. I visited last in 2003 until Dec. 2008, things are so different but determined to enforce myself back to the roots (Ile Baba omo, k'nba omo l'eru).

I was proud to be in the blue and red line buses from Ojota and Dopemu to Marina. I have the luxury of staying in the fully airconditioned guest house at Island as well as staying up to a week in Agege suburb without lights or generator at nights, above all, I drank pure water without any typhoid or malaria. Back to New Jersey with full Glory to God.

As it was advised earlier, no showing off, mostly in native attire and when pple ask me of my looks, I quickly replied that I've just returned from Port-Harcourt and Abuja. Above all, it is all fun and was glad to be back home. Just as you and german007, my broda, it's not easy oh, paper- with kids and all that, mortgage, etc. With wealth of experiences in corporate America IT industry, I believed one is better to give back to the roots and enjoy the fruits thereoff. As for my experiences, though, I have something on the ground, i think it will be better to rent first, even for a year than buying, this is common in any new city that one moves to. it will accord u the opportunity to know who, what and where for , and will not tied u down when u jump with both feet to purchase a home.

@ richiecookie, 9ja it is, all the way and God will make u fruitful as u determined to go back to motheland.

AutosRe: If You Need Help With Car Shipping From Usa To Nigeria-call Me. Price 1150$/car by alanbolo(m): 3:11pm On Sep 15, 2009
@rrexport,    

It is okay that u're providing the service (s)  but it is better u state fully that the transit time is from the date of the vessel departure and not the date u took possesion of their vehicle.

U also need to state if your shipment is RORO  or containerize via ACL  -    ZIM or CMA.

Does your price also includes the transportation to the port or that will be borne by the primary consignor?

@ izeek, I do agree what u said, but u might not be agreed with cause u're a dude, To me, I believe the pressure is on the guy especially with his financial downess.

@ Carvone, I believed, u know where your heart lays or directing you. If it is a family you want or if it is surface love that matters to you? You have been with him for 5 years and you know what you've been through with him, sunny and rainy days, how does he put smile on ur face, , if his aura cause goodness in your life or bring bad omens to you. While am not clamoring for you to marry a poor guy, sometimes, the association of those around makes life more productive and enjoyable. wink

The best thing in life is to be happy NOW cause tomorrow promise no man.

Thanks for a tread like these,  it's what we need as an empowermeant means.   I also appreciate your leveraging of Texas experience with that of Nigerian field work in the way you are advising those in need of getting into the production aspect.

that was the end of ovation for me,   wondered how the magazine could be celebrating the abachas and blaming the govt. for hounding them at that stage of our economy when we are trying to get back at the looters. sad sad sad
