Lol!!

The people that sat in their cars and watched this are the cause of this bullshit! If I was the driver, I would keep driving without stopping. Nigerians need to learn that their are things worse than death and being oppressed is one of them. I’d rather die than be oppressed!!

Where did I indicate Igbo did the bombing ? I am just telling your royal Igbo foolishness that Nigeria is safer under Buhari compared to Ebele. You Igbo were very OK with daily or weekly bombing of Abuja Kano Bornu etc under Ebele but your fathers are now wailing under Buhari where the bombing is history.

The hypocrisy of everyday foolish Ebo like u.

MajorWarren:
Never really needed a car but after years of my boys pushing me to get one and location change I think I’ll finally do it. Only thing holding me back is I haven’t found a car I like yet.

How easy is it to get part for the Chevy

How I spent over 2.6 million on a car that gets me sad, embarrassed and frustrated. Now I am getting depressed…

Last year 22 June is one day I can't easily forget. I just got myself a Toyota Camry 2007 for my 25th Birthday. I bought the car for 1.8m from a very good friend of mine (8 years together). He buys and sells used and foreign (tokunbo) cars although not a certified dealer. He drove the car down to my loc and I accessed the car I was shocked as it was far from what I expected. On inspecting the car, I was not so impressed, despite having a california plate number like heck this shit supposed be better than i anticipated. The sound of the car was too noisy, the vibrations from the dashboard, the windscreen cracked (about 28inches), the interior a bit neat but the sound system to the gear lever area was not so neat. I began to doubt the prize of the car but we already negotiated at 1.8m. I asked if this car is okay, he affirmed that it is and can't sell a problem to his brother.

I drove the car out to look for a car diagnosing company but it was a rainy day had to come back not being able to get a car company to check the car. The car consumes fuel a little bit more than conventional 4 plugs and it raised further doubt about the roadworthiness of the car but what do I know car was moving although skips when entering gear 3. I didn't know much about all this as overtime I didn't put the discipline of owning a car with this being my second car am so ashamed. Went back home I asked my friend what's wrong with the car he affirmed again that nothing is wrong. A month later I started noticing oil stain where I park. I bent over and saw oil dripping my heart almost skipped while this is a small issue (I knew this later) I trembled…this car is just a month old. I spent 31k fixing this shit cos I was too busy to inspect the repairs. A week later the same issue occurred. This was getting too much.

This got me sad and mad and I was already regretting the choice of getting a car. I later opted for a car company (My worst mistake). Oil seal was fixed 4 times in 7 months oil keeps dripping from the engine. Between this period the car abruptly stops on the road and sometimes won't even start after parking. I suffered all this with a faulty steering pump which causes the steering to be stiff. Some car companies aren't trustworthy and won't likely be the solution to your car problems...but they got my car moving each time it breaks down and I paid the exorbitant cost for minor repairs for fear of this roadside mechanics. The drill continued and I kept repairing and kept paying. The worst happened in March this year when I had a hit with a reckless driver. The bonnet bent a little and bumper beyond repair. I painted the car after 11 days. I told a panel beater working with the painter to bring the car home for me on reaching close the car stopped. Suffered to get it home as the car keeps draining charged batteries.

The next day I called the car company to come take the car for checks and possible repair. The next day I was told the engine has to be ringed that it's not the alternator. Bill of 169k for everything. I opted for a new engine (2AZ and was billed 300k for everything by the same company). I also bought shaft for both legs (55k). The former engine I was told is now scrapped and would be sold for a small amount (I left it for them). The car was with them for about 7 weeks as I wasn't around. When the car was out, AC no longer working. I called and was told the compressor is bad and needs to be changed. Why me! Bill 148k Like my God what have I done...? I spent 96k to fix AC (I had to call someone else from the neighboring state). I discovered that the AC had been fixed before and resulted to change most of the AC components. had to rethink this whole spending, right now my windscreen is bad can't see well when it's raining, my headlamp bad not bright, my exhaust very noisy unwanted sound from the manifold and consumes fuel, the legs need to be checked again (camber bushing or what do they call it) and interior needs fixing. Other issues although not certain is the suspension.
After penning my frustration in this piece Nairaland kept banning me from uploading…I gave up trying. The worst right now my gear doesn't select after a journey of 112km to and fro where I base. I need to share this experience so people can learn from this.
The estimate for expenses carried out so far on repairs so far should be over 850k in one year (major repairs: New Engine + Shaft 355k, AC 96k, Legs [fixed twice] 64K {break pads, hub, tie rod, bushing etc}) (minor repairs: oil seal repair 4 times around 80k (new oil every time to put a new oil seal), Nozzle + Plugs + Fan + Key starter 44k, Exhaust (net) 10.4k. Others: painting 60k and panel beating 15k. (all of this excluding gear) Bought tires several times as they keep peeling off from bad alignment although Belgium tires. There are others I can't remember right now. All this excluding fuel. I honestly can't continue like this. Cars been parked for 4 months now. I cant kill myself

Am sad cry

Freshprince91:
May God deal with some dealers.
My 2001 Ford Mondeo bought from Cotonou in August for 1M almost ruined my life even though most of the repairs i paid for were normal routine maintenance (AC Compressor, evaporator & blower, 2 oxygen sensors, front brake pads, 1 spare tyre, 1 complete set of fuel pump (car rejected two before i was told to get a complete set) and front shock absorber but i wasn't expecting the repairs to pile up within the first 6 months.
I deployed the car on Uber /taxify but i never overworked the car within the 3 months its been on the platform but the car has set me back by 210,000 naira .Two weeks ago , i observed the vibration and jerking in traffic which has been reoccurring but when i slide the gear into neutral or Park , it stops. The mechanic said i need to get new engine seats and service the car ( done 8000km/6000miles already on Lagos roads ) before 10th of January next year.
Its a sad situation really seeing a Tokunbo car draining your pocket.

Betting is fucking addictive. I have a bet addict as a friend, he can sell his both eyes to get money for betting. I hope you overcome it.

degamemaster:
My only annoyance now is that my new girlfriend kept me waiting all through last night and I have not heard from him. I just met her on Christmas eve and boom, it feels like she have been looking for me all through her life and everything began smoothly to the extent we have planned to move in to my new apartment together so we had to go the market and bought everything to clean up the place and set a new 2020 goal, after that she told me that she will be going to her own apartment to fix some things and also make her hair nd then come back to me in the night. I waited until this morning so I had to leave for work now.

Nairalanders I'm in pain now but I wish you all a Happy New Year.

Nwaonyishi69:
Are this RCCG pronouncements not mere permutations or forecasts? I hope we understand what prophecy is. These permutations mean nothing different from the craze for games betting, these are no spiritual statements except in mentions of RCCG followers, sin and prayers.

Lol. I see what you did there bro. I'm not a religious person but I believe in the Almighty creator. My common sense has been intact from day one.

First of all, Thunder faya the woman who wrote this story.

That done, I’d love to salute the young man for refusing to be joined in Holy Matrimony with someone who betrayed his trust, and kept quiet about it, planning to sneak into the marriage with such a vile secret. He has done well. Money is not his problem that’s why he didn’t call the engagement off much sooner.

Let the entire clan behold the hôe they were billing the young man for. Is she worth the yams and kegs of palm wine? You people should be grateful the guy still went ahead with the arrangement up to this point. You can entertain yourselves with the gifts. New year party is in full swing wherever the guy is. I wish I could send him a bottle of fine wine to celebrate the new year.



A king!
