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.

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

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.

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

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)
Car TalkRe: Please Your Advice On This Car by annford: 9:26am On Jun 02
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.

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.
Car TalkRe: Uber Business Car Choice: 2008 Nissan Rogue Vs. 2004/2005 Toyota Camry by annford: 7:28pm On May 29
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.

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.

RomanceRe: He Wants Me To Move In by annford: 8:31am On May 14
[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.

2.
The young husband being foolish by fighting the old man instead of facing his wife that willingly followed the old man.

3.
According to the post, the woman claims that she wanted to commit the atrocity in order to assist her husband with the cost of renting an apartment. Will she tolerate the husband if he sleeps with another woman who can give him money to feed his family?

4.
This might even be a skit. Which man will want to use a pillow to fight another man?
This your number 4 made me laugh so hard and long. Of a truth, what man would fight his fellow man with a pillow? NA pillow fight?
PoliticsRe: FG Defends Fuel Price Fluctuations, Cites Market Forces by annford: 11:49am On Mar 09
thesolutions:
Diesel is 1450 to 1,600. Cost of production and transportation has just multiplied.
Government placed tariffs on batteries and and solar panels to prevent more people going off the grid for selfish revenue accrual.
The grid supplies power mostly at night when productivity is close to zero.
Why are there no plans to explore EVs?
No. Government has no plans for development of the country. If they do, they would know where to start.

As for dangote, he has to sell the CNG that his refinery is producing. The talk about CNG was high few years ago but no one is concerned about it after he jacked the price up. His alternative after most truck owners rejected the CNG is to roll out free delivery of products purchased from his industries by factoring in the transportation cost using marginal increase in the price of the products using his CNG Trucks.
Now he has seen an opening. US/ISRAEL/IRAN crisis has placed importation on hold. He has no competition. He has increased the price of diesel by 50% to make it more expensive for marketers to transport products themselves. The goal is for everyone to fallback to him either enrol in the free delivery program or migrate to CNG trucks.
He has nothing to loose. Only gains and more gains.

The government didn't listen and at least focus on Diesel production which could have stopped this moves in this kind of situation.
Power generation is going to zero because the cost of diesel is beyond normal.

Next to tumble is our exchange rate. Everything is going to be 3times the current price.
In Maitama, Asokoro and Wuse 2, for every twenty cars you see, three are EVs. The thing is that EVs are exclusively for the rich. The cheapest EV goes for N65 Million and that is even a mini EV that is way smaller than a Volkswagen Golf. Until EVs become very much affordable, the average Nigerian would never be able to afford one. I have yet to see a foreign used EV that's for sale in Nigeria. All EVs I have seen are brand new.

FamilyRe: My Wife Refuses To Cook With Charcoal Stove! by annford: 7:25am On Jan 23
bigpicture001:
Because of the high cost of energy, I barred her from overly use of electric hot plate, also gas finishes so fast.. all these are draining the family maintainance resources..

So I deviced a means to bring down the cost of energy by purchasing gokpo charcoal stove.. it's a new kinda charcoal stove that doesn't fume, it's clean energy and also burns faster..

Just that u need to infuse charcoal enough and cook straight hours so u can exchaust the charcoal, lest it won't stop burning inside..

Believe me, it doesn't darken pot nor fume..

By she has refused to use it, claiming I am taking her to olden days and causing lots of stress..

Okay I suggested she start to part pay the cost of cooking energy if sh must stick with her choice.. but sh has not filled gas since then nor part pay the huge NEPA bill that comes monthly..

Abeg wetin I go do for this case
o






1. Make more money. Money is almost everything. I am a family man and I can tell you, the importance of money in a family can never be over emphasized.

2. By-pass! Yes. You need to get a good technician to help you achieve that. I by-pass Ed too. You must device a means to survive in this country if you really want to stay healthy and sane. You can do most of your cooking at night when the power company guys have all resigned for the day.

3. Make sure to use the gas only when absolutely necessary. Times like when you need to cook and there's power outage or when what you want to cook is best prepared on a gas cooker.

4. Money is absolute. My brother, running a home takes the Grace and Mercy of God. Just make more money. When I see someone complain about the economy, in all honesty and humility, I just tell them the solution to it is just to make more money or even way more money. While at it, please do not do anything ungodly or illegal. Cheers Bro.

I proposed to my wife, sitting. Sitting or standing while proposing to a woman does not in any way show or represent masculinity or narcissism. That man proposed to a woman on a bended knee doesn't mean he would make a good husband. I do not know who started the trend of a man proposing marriage to a woman on a bended knee, but I am not raising my only son to do that. In ancient times, bended knee represented surrender, submission, fear or cowardice.
