That, as you have put it is the main reason for our complacency in Nigeria and why we have degraded to a Toyota and Honda driving nation.

If i can buy a car, surely i should be able to get parts for it. We arent talking about rare exotics here but basic luxury sedans. I dont think i mentioned in my earlier post any car that one does not see several of them on these Abuja streets.

Logic dictates as there are several of them, there has to be parts.

I remember the cars my dad had in the goood old days, The Passat, The Beetle, The Audi, The Volvo, The W123, the W124 (Note the common trend here?)

Now fast forward a couple of decades. Would the next generation remember the Accord, Camry, Corolla and Civic most of us drive?

I just want a decent European built car that has lost a lot to depreciation (as they usually do) giving me a well built car at bargain prices win win.

FWIW i still consider my my E46 to be a better all round car than the 2007 + Toyota Camry but that is just my opinion and mileage may vary.

Thanks @bigrovar,

I changed the rear brake pad and also adjust the hand brakes not to long ago, i will say almost the same time i start noticing this issue, might be a mere coincident or a contributing factor. i will work on that.

The car trip computer has been given me a satisfactory value previously, i don't think is not accurate as you mentioned. will also do your own calculation as well an see what value i will be getting.

4Play: The way Nigerians talk about Liberia and Sierra Leone, you will think they achieved their military objectives.

They were far from successful - in Liberia, Charles Taylor still ascended to power as people were so terrorised by his group they felt they had to vote him in. In Sierra Leone, the RUF required additional international military presence before they could be subjugated. The Nigerian military performance was mixed at best.

Somehow, a narrative has emerged that these were successful operations. If you go back in history, they couldn't defeat Niger-Delta militants, necessitating that we pay them to lay down their arms and before the ICJ ruling, failed to dislodge Cameroun from contested territories. Even the Biafra required heavy foreign military aid before they could conquer a rag tag army.

This story about the invincibility of the Nigerian army is the height of self-deception. This is why when the Boko Haram menace started, I was insistent that we had no chance of defeating them anytime soon. This insurgency will subsist for many more years.

bigwallace: Keshi has done his best,he has nothing left to offer,he has given it all nd cnt do anybetter than this,keshi cnt beat any tactically sound team @ d world stage,yes he defeated bosnia bt i made bold to say dat it was mere luck,bocs dzeko's goal wud av stood nd osaze's goal wud av bin disallowed,He is tactically deficient @ d world stage it was clear for evribody to see from d confed cup to d world cup itself shows alot abt his tactical ineptudness,nd his selections of players to this world cup was nothin to write home about,der re players in dat squad dt shud neva go near out training camp again even if wwe want to play sao tome nd principle.

tzetzefly: Are you sure you are to appear at the Embassy and not VFS ?

CROWÉ: Yes, Mugabe is a horrible leader, after almost 30 years Zimbabwe have no economy to speak of, he is easily one of the worst rulers by any standard. By comparison the emperor of Japan turned Japan from a primitive state to a recognized power in about 30 years, even outperforming Russia who was a great power at the time. Zimbabwe is the perfect example of supreme ignorance and stewpidity, Mugabe took farms from the white people split them into smaller chunks and effectively ruined their commercial value and gave them to the black people, today many of them are abandoned, they are as failed as a state can get before it collapses and that man has had enough time to fix that country a few times over.
