You definitely do not have an idea of what you are talking about... Kwankwaso is 65...Obi is 61.. they are both grandparents and you said they represent the youth.... your case strong ooo..

Bbsharon:
Virtual Tours! Yea.
Thank you!!

Bbsharon:
That was in 2019.
Definitely, security is a serious issue and threat to Nigeria tourism at the moment so I advise to wait it out a little bit more.

Actor Chidi Mokeme is completely devastated over the death of two of his sisters in barely a week.

Sharing a collage of their photos on Instagram moments ago, the actor announced the sad news and revealed that it has been crazy couple of days for the family.

Hi guys,
I came across this picture on social media and I decided to send to some of my friends for them to share their thoughts on the teacher’s outfit.

The picture has been generating different reaction on social media too and we’d like to know what you guys think about it too.

Hiking to get to the top of the falls can be tedious and stressful so best time to visit the falls would be doing the dry season as the rocks are less slippery and easier to clim through.

However the best time to see the beauty of the falls with it’s full view would be doing the rainy season. Thought the water might look muddy due to flood and erosions from the rains.

Here are pictures of the falls during the rainy season when I visited…

Tinubu and Atiku can't visit America, and now Ekweremadu in this mess.
Most of the people protected by police escort in Nigeria are the real criminals. Sadly, it takes other countries to expose them.
After 2023, we would see more of them exposed

Tinubu's campaign posters seen in the UK. Arise TV hosts wonder why? Rufai asks if he is running for the Mayor of London while Reuben Abati looks at the irony of campaigning in a beautiful, well maintained train station in a foreign land while we have none here.

It's clear , except we want to keep deceiving ourselves. The same people who want the country to burn are now championing a campaign of their tribesmen . Pretending like he's the most competent when in reality he's just average. Same person that was vice to Atiku last election season and they voted in support of Atiku. Now the remember how corrupt Atiku is .
They still push the narrative that they'd support and vote Fashola, Fayemi,Osinbajo over Umahi, Kalu, Okorocha etc .
And why is Obi silent on IPOB ,ESN , UGM , has he ever spoken against it or are we just suppose to ignore the silence ? Or he doesn't want to lose their patronage?
I preach competence and popularity . If we talking about competence and achievements Tinubu is the best candidate.
And this just shows that man made innovation have positive and negative influence...
Social media can be used in the most negative way and it's been used for mass deception of the youths who can't remember the last time they tuned to news channels but are being lured without having personal thoughts or introspection.

JEWELofHELL666:
While some have abandoned their old accounts and created new ones to support Obi's presidential ambition, others are not smart enough to erase their terroristic past.

Below are some of the IPOB members who have abandoned Nnamdi Kanu's vision to support Mr Peter Obi's presidential ambition.

Ibkhaleel01:
Dear Christians, especially the Yoruba
Christians, what is the matter you have
with Muslims? Honestly, the way some
of you are going about religion calls for
serious concern. Some of you are
fanatically attached to your religion. Yet,
you pretend to be moderate and neutral.
Wallahi, if Yoruba Muslims should
behave the way some Yoruba Christians
are behaving, no Christian will ever
become governors in Oyo, Osun, Ogun
and Lagos States. Those states have
higher percentage of Muslims.
There was a time in Osun, which is a
predominantly Muslim state, had a
Christian as governor (Olagunsoye
Oyinlola) and a Christian as deputy
governor (Erelu Olusola Obada). Did
Muslims complain? No! We did not even
care about their religion. I remember
how happy I was the day Oyinlola won.
Are you telling us that we are fools?
After all, Awolowo (a Christian) ruled
Yorubaland while Akintola (another
Christian) was the Premier; no Muslim
raised any eyebrow. I don't want to speak
much on this issue. God bless Nigeria.

Lol, it's just a Nigerian thing . No one is disenfranchising the easterners in Lagos. Infact we have almost equal population of Northerners in that local government as easterners. So why are we not having the same complaints from the Northerners ?

I’ll just be here waiting for the fallout of Hundeyin and his IPOB bingos.

FFK and Reno did more than this, we all know the story now.

By the way, Segalink have contributed more in the real world than what a million David Hundeyin ever offered. He is the only guy that have been helping police brutality victims before, during, and after EndSARS.

I saw the fool went online to extract past news of AFDB financing LCC with loans and the mumu went online to feed his minions by shouting investigative journalism while they retweet.

it was stated that it will be a toll and yet you ask yourself what exactly the guy investigated. Twitter is the place that made me understand that Nigeria might probably have the largest repository of educated illiterates.

Something they can just use Google to search for is what they are asking one guy for, he searches the archive, come online and you have your investigative journalist Hundeyin right there.

Weather : when you get old... the freezing cold get into your body and knee.... it's not fun... People who know they have a place with warm weather will park back and relocate immediately

Taxes: they are tired of paying taxes.. they wanna go back home and live like a king with less tax to worry about

Properties: You can't hav more than 3 house here... it's not above the law...but where u won take get $500k*3 to get a house... rather they channel it back home... just 150k$ will build standard high rated 2 duplex

Extended family not all family get the chance to move to abroad. Old folks return home to create new life with this people they left decades ago...


Political they wanna get more involved in politics.

So they return home to support, vote and some may be lucky to get appointments

Apus:
You won't understand.

Abroad is good for hustle and enjoying basic amenities we lack here. Asides this, there is this feeling of emptiness or something missing each time you remember home.
When I was away I was even more current about latest happenings in Naija than those at home so as to feel connected.

It depends.

The Toyota is very popular and durable and has proven itself a million times over. There is an abundance of parts, good technical understanding with regards to mechanics and good gas economy especially in-town. It is reliable and extremely durable. Unfortunately, the popularity of this brand makes it pricey.

If you do decide to go for the Chevrolet/Ford Vans, I will advise you to know why you may or may not go for the 3500 series. The 3500 series have heavy duty components which include engine, suspension, transmission, hub axle and chassis because they are design to handle heavy loads (up to 3.5tons) and 12000Ibs tow capacity - You need no where near that when handling passengers! The downside of the 3500 series is heavy fuel consumption! Chevy/Ford passenger Vans are also manufactured as standard 1500 series which can handle 1.5ton and has the same body and dimensions as the 3500 series. The 1500 series vans are more common, more economical to run and will give you a faster return for your money.

Chevy/Ford vans are much more powerful (performance wise), but on the other hand they are less economical in terms of gas consumption in-town. If your business model is going to involve mostly long distance travel then this vans are ideal cos a fully loaded Chevy Express 1500 traveling the highways will cost you less to run than an equivalently loaded Toyota Hiace will. I will expound on the reasons for this:

1) Chevy/Ford 1500 has a standard V8 engine that allows it to hum happily at highway speeds even when loaded with 18 passengers and their belongings.
2) Chevy/Ford Vans are equipped with automatic transmission that is much more efficient at highway speeds than in-town
3) Chevy/Ford Vans are built to handle the loads imposed by 18 Pax & luggage and the engine doesn't get overtaxed or over burdened
4) Toyota Hiace is really built to handle 1 ton and the engine gets overtaxed with 18 Pax & luggage resulting in increased fuel consumption
5) Toyota Hiace's suspension takes a pounding and starts falling apart because of the load stress.
6) Toyota Hiace's engine is 4 cylinder and the torque delivered is inadequate to handle the load thus leading to poor consumption and wear
7) Transmisson and drivetrain components on the Hiace are stressed and because of exessive load
8.) The extra power of the Chevy/Ford vans allows it to be operated with A/C without struggling to deliver the power demanded on the highway
9) The extra 4 cylinders in the Chevy/Ford ensure the longevity of the engine. American V8's are reputed to go 350,000 miles without rebuild or rebore!
10) The Chevy/Ford vans have more interior space for passenger comfort.
11) Initial cost of purchasing a used Toyota Hiace could be up to N400,000.00 more than a used Chevy Express van.
12) Spreading the cost difference over a period of 36 months means the Toyota costs an extra N11,000.00 per month!

CONCLUSION:
Inspite of the advantages of the Chevy/Ford vans in the areas of engine power and loading capacity, I will have to nominate the Hiace Bus. The Hiace Bus has a looooooooong history in Nigeria and is well known and understood by local mechanics. To operate the Chevy/Ford vans, you will need to have access to knowledgeable mechanics coupled with the fact that the parts are not so abundant (perhaps even rare). The Toyota Hiace bus is extremely durable and reliable despite the fact that it is consistently over-worked and pushed beyond its design limits! When the toyota breaks down in remote locations, parts are easy to come by and the cost of the parts won't break the bank becos of abundance. From a business and operational logistics perspective, the Toyota wins hands down!

MY PICK:
I will pick the Chevy Express. Why??  I am known to be stubborn and I always like to do things differently from the popular norm. I am knowledgeable enough about the vehicles to be able to operate it without getting into trouble. If I operated a Chevy Express, both on the short run and on the long run, I believe I will come out with better and sounder economic gains. But that is just me and I do not advise any other person to do the same.

Pelpelly:
Will any of these work for you? We have been supplying box trucks to customers in Abuja for some years now. Very nice and sturdy vehicles, especially by Ford.
