Sure becuase I use a 2012 Kia Cerato, which has the same engine with the Elantra. I have done Abuja - Lagos several time with my Kia cerato without any issues. Forget all the issues you hear, just service your car and get on the road, you will be surprised how great the car will perform.

I need a clean UK used Z10 or Q10 with accessories. Call 07037931707 if you have a good deal. Budget is not more than 20k. I am in Lagos.

please send me the details and cost @ bbgyet@gmail.com

thanks,

I have visited their stores at the Palms. The truth is most of what they have there is low quality and quite expensive. I don't see any reason why i would spend money on those low quality garments they put up for sale. So i say bye bye to Woolworths.

I drive a white car and honestly and i am happy and proud to own a white car. Initially when I was offered the white colour, I didn't like it, but today I drive it joyfully and happily. At most I wash it 2 times a week with high quality car wash to maintain the colour.

The truth is a white car stands you out, and from a recent survey report I read, most white cars are not exposed to much accidents and scratches.

The reason why most Nigerians don't like white cars is simply because we have a poor maintenance culture.

The white colour brings out the royalty in a car.

hello Ikenna,

Please idea on what it takes to travel from Lagos to Enugu? In terms of road conditions, distance to cover etc.

@ Op, you really have to follow your heart. i drive a lovely kia which I bought in 2011. I was discouraged from buying it, but I went ahead to buy one and today I enjoy driving this machine. I have gone on long trips from Lagos to Abuja severally without any problems.

Generally Nigerians have a perception problem. They prefer toyota and honda. to an average Nigerian, its either toyota, honda or nothing else. If you go to other countries, its not like that. I went to China recently and I noticed that majority of their cars are Audis, Buicks, BMW and Volkwagen, not so much of toyota and honda. In Sweden, its volvo, in France its Peugeot, Citreon etc.

Morever, most of these cars come with additional features that the Japs will not give you at that price. For example, the new cerato has a cooling glove box. I am not sure toyota or honda will give that to you at the price that Cerato is currently going.

Please go with your heart.

It will be great and lovely.

Dear Engineers
I just got this S4 on my trip outside Nigeria.
i came back home and got MTN to cut my sim so it can fit into the phone and they said i needed to do a sim swap.

Since then I have been having problems using the phone, the phone only receives signals from MTN only when I am in their office, once I leave, the network goes away.

I am tired, please is there any help you guys can render. i can be reached on bbgyet@gmail.com, please send me your number so we can talk.

thanks,

I currently drive a 2011 Kia cerato for about two years now and have found the car to be very reliable. Forget what Nigerians would tell you Kia and Hyundai cars, they are very good.

Both cars belong to the same group. Actually the Hyundai group owns Kia. Both the Kia cerato and the Elantra share the same engine and platform, the only difference is the body design and the external finishing.

I actually wanted to buy a Hyundai elantra becuase of the beautiful looks, but settled for the Cerato, when I discovred it was same with the elantra. I will advise you go for the cerato, becuase it the same as the elantra, but comes at a lower cost. The cars drive well and perform very excellently on long journeys. I wish you the best.

Please where can I watch this match online.

I am glad you started this topic. I am shopping for an SUV, and one of my options is the Volkswagen Toureg, 2008 - 2011 models.

Except we accept the totality of God's word, we cannot get the totality of God's blessings.

Oga Lawyer,

I would like to discuss something private with you.

A lot of Nigerians have said so many bad things about Kia automobiles simply becuase they are not toyota and honda. However, Kia is gradually gaining its rightful place in the Nigerian and international automobile market.

Before I bought a Kia, I read a lot of negative comments here on nairaland about Kia cars. Today I cruze my Kia without any headache.

I am dedicating this forum to all Kia owners on Nairaland. Tell us your beautiful experience driving Kia and also share with us any challenges you have and any other issues.

Whether walmart or Shoprite or what, I don't give a damn, as for us in Lekki Phase 1, its Ebeano Supermarket all the way. The guy who started in a duplex has opened the largest supermarket in the estate. With the opening of his new mega store, most Lekki Phase 1 residents are shying away from Shoprite cos Ebeano is cheaper.
I think we must encourage our own people to create jobs instead of bringing in these foreigners who will make our brothers and sisters slaves.

Ebeano all the way.

Sacked Lagos doctors decry N33.4m financial shortfall from CONMESS
On May 21, 2012 • In Special Report

Email0
As health services remain grounded in Federal and state hospitals in Lagos in the wake of an indefinite strike by doctors, doctors under the auspices of the Medical Guild have decried a monthly financial shortfall of N33, 477, 508.00 in the implementation of the full Consolidated Medical Salary Structure, CONMESS, in Lagos state even as they are alleging they were tricked into entering agreement with the state government.

Findings by Vanguard showed that the sum in question includes the total financial shortfall from the monthly wage package of the 1,282 doctors under the Lagos state Health Service Commission and the 98 honorary consultants at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.

It was gathered that the shortfall, which the doctors are claiming was part of the initial calculation of the CONMESS as approved by the state government, is currently the bone of contention in the ongoing industrial dispute in the State’s health sector which culminated in the sacking of 788 doctors on May 4.
The doctors are alleging that the Lagos state government reneged in an agreement in which it committed to implement the full payment of the CONMESS as calculated and presented to Governor Babatunde Fashola who approved its implementation. It would be recalled that the Lagos state government through the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris and the Head of Service, Mr. Adesegun Ogunlewe, had repeatedly insisted that the state was already paying the full CONMESS, level-for-level, and challenged the Medical Guild to prove otherwise.

Commenting on the development, Secretary of the Medical Guild, Dr. Idris Durojaiye said the monthly financial shortfall per doctor ranged from N9, 371.20 for the lowest ranked House Officer on Level 10, to N70, 950.00 for the highest ranked honorary Chief Consultant on Level 17.

In an exclusive interview, Durojaiye told Vanguard that the shortfall was part of the original amount approved for the doctors but was never paid as stated in the said agreement.
His words: “It was full CONMESS that was approved, but it is not being paid now. The shortfall is the amount that was cut off. Our initial calculation contained this shortfall and was part of the agreement presented to the Governor and was approved. But the government never paid up as agreed.”

Further, he stated: “When there is a new salary scale, the principle of unilateral conversion takes place. If you are on a certain step on one level in one salary scale, you are expected to transit to the same step and level in the new salary scale, but the state government has not done that. They did not follow the agreement but have dropped people in steps.

“Apart from the matter of Teaching Allowances and entry points, the issue of demotion of doctors through the dropping of steps is a major issue. When the agreement was signed, it was agreed we wouldn’t be at comparative disadvantage. We talked about no compression, but they did not do that. They tricked us.”
The Medical Guild Secretary said the CONMESS was designed to achieve was to set a minimum benchmark across the Federation and to prevent internal and external brain drain within the medical profession. “It would keep everyone on the same baseline and at their jobs wherever they are in the country. It would also prevent external brain drain as any improvement in wages would keep people in their countries.”

Giving a rundown of the genesis of the dispute, Durojaiye recalled that the Medical Guild had been agitating for full implementation of the CONMESS since 2009 and had made several representations to the state government on the matter.

“In November 2011, the Lagos State Government agreed to pay CONMESS as approved in the Federal Government Circular SWC/S/04/S.410/220 released by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission. This document specifically indicated government’s acceptance to pay and also not to place Lagos State doctors at any disadvantage whatsoever relative to their colleagues anywhere else in the country.”

According to Durojaiye, the government later rescinded on the agreement but an agreement was finally signed in March 2011 between the Lagos State Government and the Medical Guild to implement CONMESS in full.

With reference to a letter, LGS/HOS/06/Vol.VI/30 dated November 19,2010 from the Head of Service, Mr. Adesegun Ogunlewe to the Chairman of the Medical Guild, Durojaiye argued that government committed to full implementation of the CONMESS. He pointed out a section of the letter entitled: “Re: Medical/Dental Officers Salary Review” which read as follows….”that with effect from January 2011, government will implement a mutually agreeable wage review which will not put doctors in Lagos state hospitals at a comparative disadvantage to their counterparts in other health institutions.”

A copy of the second agreement dated March 24, 2011, entitled: “Re: Agreement With The Medical Guild”, which was made available to Vanguard reads as follows: “On March 24, 2011, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with the doctors regarding the ongoing strike and an agreement had been reached. During the meeting the following points were agreed by both parties: (i) payment of CONMESS salary in full (no compression) to all doctors; (ii) one month salary bonus; (iii) allowances will be classified as non-taxable. i.e., no taxes will be deducted on these allowances (iv) Further welfare packages will be developed to improve working conditions for all healthcare providers within the state.”

The agreement which was signed by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Chairman Henry Ajomale and Dr. Jide Idris, further noted that: “Based on their dialogue and agreement, it is expected that the Medical Guild will meet with their Congress and call off the strike soonest.”

According to Durojaiye, the agreement included the cost of implementing CONMESS in full. “The Medical Guild suspended its strike action in good faith, despite the earlier reneging of the Lagos State government, in order to allow implementation of the agreement.

“However, the Lagos State Government failed to honour the agreement and chose to implement the salary structure the way it wanted. For the past one year, the Medical Guild has been writing, meeting and pleading with government to correct the shortfall in implementation of CONMESS, but government chose to shift and default on its promises,” he stressed.

I am just a little bit worried that the doctors left their patients to die just becuase of the paltry sums of between 9k and 70k.

This is a very important topic and I must say thank you bros for this topic. Pls can anyone direct me to where I can get one in Lagos around Lekki phase 1?

@ theking5

You got the point. The guy has been paid to intimidate this woman, and I am happy she is not caving in. I know the National Assembly very well, most committees always approach ministries and agencies to sponsor public hearings and all kinds of funny trips abroad. There is an element of truth in what she is saying.

This is nothing but pure witch hunting. I stand to be corrected.

Hi Guys,

I am thinking of picking a mitsubishi outlander 2004 model.

Does any one have any experience with Mitsubishi. I love the design, and the ruggedness, but I learnt the car is low on acceleration.
