Liar

The bacteria in the kitchen is not as deadly as those you contact from the toilet.

Are you aware that mobile phones have more bacteria and germs than even a public toilet?

Plus other house n utility bills

It is only single people, people whose needs are still being met by other people and then ignoramus that would doubt or question this. I have a wife and four kids and know how much feeding and bills take from me every single week. Any week I spend less than 300k on my family, I get surprised because I spend way more than that on them within days. God only, is our provider. Being a family person for this Nigeria be like where one person dey push a Boeing 747 Jet.

What do you mean by "returns to Trillionaire club"? Does the club have any other members? Elon is in a world of his own. Dude plays by different sets of rules.

Tokunbo prices arent worth it . A tokunbo 2006 Lexus RX330 is about 12-13m, while a used 2014 goes for 15m, if you dig deep you can get it for 12-13m, why will you take the risk and buy a 2006 for 13m, it might look shiny on the exterior, but what about underneath?

Many of these old vehicles undergo detailing to enable them to be sold, these are cosmetic enhancements to hide defects like rust, accident and flood damage.

I rather invest in the newer models. A 1994 foriegn used jetta is going for 5 million, that same amount can get you a used 2012 passet or 2006 Camry. You will hardly get parts for the jetta especially if its a manual.

Buying a newer car is always better unless you want to repurpose the engines of the older models.

Oh how I wish many knew what you know. These words of yours are exactly what I tell people who want to buy a car. Why waste money on foreign used car when you can with patience, get a clean Nigeria used? It will never make sense to me.

Kuku buy rx350. The 2013 -2014 model. It’s sleek ,more sexy and a head turner.

Hello please i need the officers number. I need a drivers license

Someone advertised this pencil light for 7.5million Naira today on Facebook. I wan craze..

Big for nothing never reach 7million, na pencil light come be 7.5? Banditry no be only offline. Some people's greed should be studied

RandDigital:
Anyone familiar with SA will know he's lying. Those mini shops or Nigerians in general don't hire South Africans. They hire their own, Zimbabweans or Malawians cause they can't afford SA labour - we don't work for peanuts.

They'll approach him on June 30 to produce those 25 South African labourers - we'll see then.

The way you South Africans are filled with hate and bitterness towards your fellow Africans should be studied. You lots are lazy, inhospitable, lackadaisical and slothful. I lived in SA for 2 years and couldn't believe how lazy and entitled you bunch are. You always want to blame other nationals for your illiteracy and poverty. Get to work man!

tommykiwi:
This is how it ought to be. Country that the government keep to their words. But for 9ja, na do or die.

You mean a country where Father is the President, Son is the Vice President, daughter is the Finance Minister, Son in-law heads the civil service, President's cousin head the military ?

Ombre:
Yes. I'm in Abuja. How can I message you chief?

Can I give you the FRSC guys number?

BarrElChapo:
I don’t know but flooded cars usually have rust and electrical problems, I’d prefer an accidented car. I’m following you, when I’m ready I’ll reach out.

Never, ever buy a flooded car. Most cars from Canada are flooded cars and the Canadian snow also affects cars, hence, most cars from there always have rusts underneath them.

Ombre:
Any links then

Are you in Abuja? I have a very close friend who's an FRSC officer.

HelenaWills:
You're making it seem like you won't get the very sound kind of same car for less this amount you spent. Even if it's a million naira less.

Please id like you to show me where to buy a clean title 2024 Camry for N9 million and I'd gladly open a Camry car showroom. I clearly stated it was accidented. It is only accidented and flooded cars that you could get that cheap.

HelenaWills:
You're making it seem like you won't get the very sound kind of same car for less this amount you spent. Even if it's a million naira less.

2024 Camry for N9 million when you can barely get a 2008 at that rate?. I clearly stated it was accidented. Accidented cars or flooded cars very very affordable. You can never get 2016 Camry, no matter how battered for N9 million, let alone a 2024

Ombre:
No driving test and certificate/result needed? Is this your update current?

They'd only ask you those questions if the officer wants to stress you, has his boss around (eye service, wants a tip from you but wouldn't come out plain or notices you're a new driver and are fidgety)

BarrElChapo:
A 2024 for 16m really ?

Accidented. Accidented cars are very cheap to get. Some people even sell cars that are "totalled". Truth is most of the cars you see on Nigerian roads are accidented cars that were fixed by the experts. I know a place here in Abj where imported accidented cars are refurbished. Someone I know bought a flooded 2022 Corolla for less than 13 Million. Flooded and accidented cars are quite cheap to get if you have an honest plug.

Blockwyse5:
Where did u buy from

A friend gave me the contact. The guy exports cars to Nigeria from the US. You just tell him what you want, he'd give you the duration of time to give him and then send you lots of pictures when he gets what or close to what you want.

kesmiraAutos:
Greetings Auto Gurus,

Please advise on a choice between:

· A 2008 Nissan Rogue (foreign used)
· A 2004/2005 Toyota Camry (foreign used)

Resale value is not a factor.

My neighbor who majorly drives through bad roads daily is trying to decide which to pick. He plans to use the car for Uber business. His priorities are:

· Reliability
· Good ground clearance
· Low maintenance costs
· Durability

Thank you.

Let him run away from any Nissan product if he wants to live long. Nissan products you can trust and the Almeras and Primeras of the 90s. Any newer generations should be strongly avoided. Corolla or Pontiac Vibe or Toyota Matrix should be his pick.

hitekk:
A relations of mine wants to get this car from a US auction site. Pls What's your advice considering the damage on the car. This is his first car. It has a mileage of 77061

I bought an accidented 2024 Camry Sports for N9 million and spent about N7 Million fixing it. You'd never know the car had been involved in an accident before. You can always buy an accidented car and fix it as long as the engine and chassis were not affected by the accident.

FarSide:
So, last week, I was involved in an accident with my new car. The victim, a boy of about 10 years laid lifeless on the road. Though it wasn't my fault but that a story for another day...

At first I thought it's just an accident, maybe if the boy dies, the parents will now carry him and burry. And maybe at worst, it's a bad name, people could be suspecting me of murder... Anyways their opinion I thought. After all it's not my fault .


But then something struck me. I have no driving license! That's when I realized I could be in for a long thing. How can I clear myself at the police station. I could be charged for murder and I will be doing a prison term for it.

At that moment, I started sweating profusely. I realized a single act of negligence (failing to get a driving license) could land me in serious trouble.

But then, my African instinct came in, a consolation I thought. I said to myself, if this boy dies, I will be going straight to a driving school that promised to help me process my driving license and get it instantly at any cost. With that my offense could be dismissed as just an accident.

Well, lucky me, I took the boy to the hospital and he survived. Drove home and grounded the car. Moved straight to the driving school to process the license. To my greatest surprise, they only gave me an enrollment form to fill that day and told me the process will be continued after 26 working days!!!
I was like "sir, is there no way to fast track this?" He said no way. That was when I realized there is no shortcut to freedom had the boy died from the accident. Well, I'm still patiently waiting to continue the processing and get a valid license. Though I drive the car once in a while but I'm extremely cautious. And I pray my chi will see me through.


Lawyers in the house, what do you think would have been my punishment??

My fellow new drivers, do well to get your license asap.

Here in Abuja, it takes less than 6 hours. Walk into the FRSC HQ at Wuse Zone 7 or the one at Wuse Zone 3 by neighborhood center or the one at Mabushi. They'd first call you in for " Capturing" and then print out a temporary driver's license for you. They'd tell you'd be notified via an SMS when the permanent one is ready (usually on your birthday). Within 3 months of the capturing, the main would be out. You go give them the temporary one and show the text sent too you and they give you the permanent one. Chikina.

[quote author=escortafrik post=139398183]Hello guys, I really need your advice because I’ve been turning this over in my head and I don’t want to make a mistake.

So a bit of background… I’m in my final year at the university, just trying to finish with good grades and figure out what’s next for my life.

A close friend of mine introduced me to her cousin a few months ago. He’s doing really well for himself, stable, calm, and very intentional in how he carries himself.

We got along pretty quickly and things moved from just talking to a serious relationship faster than I expected, but it has been good so far.

Now the situation is this… he wants me to move in with him.

At first, I thought maybe it’s just excitement and love growing fast, but he’s been consistent about it and says it’s because he sees a future with me and wants us to start building our life together properly. I do like him a whole lot , and part of me likes the idea of us being together in that way, like a real couple sharing everyday life.

But I spoke to my friends and they are not having it at all. They keep telling me that once I move in, it might reduce the chances of marriage happening, that men can get too comfortable and stop seeing the need to “formalise” things. Even his cousin who introduced us is saying I shouldn’t as well but I’m quite surprised because this guy has been so good to me in every aspect of my life.

Now I’m stuck in the middle. I don’t want to act based on fear, but I also don’t want to ignore advice that could save me from future regret.

So I’m asking honestly… what do you think I should do in this situation?[/quote

If he loves you and is financially stable as you wrote, what then stops him from getting married to you? You want to co-habit for a couple of months, which then turn to one, two , three, four, five...years? As a parent myself, I'd never encourage any young person to co-habit with anyone who isn't their legally married spouse. How many abortions are you willing and ready to carry out in the course of the cohabitation? It is going to be free sex for the both of you until you get tired of each other, then come the endless fights and arguments. If you truly love each other, go formalise your relationship. Ikwa iko ajoka.
