Good evening sirs, how is the ehailing biz? Still booming? Apart from corolla , what other car can I use for this Uber runs. I have 1.6m. can I use 2009 Honda Accord?

Y1nka:

Your research was good that why I go for kia rio part not expensive fuel consumption is good rugged.

True, research is everything. Naija dey overdo everything.

2017 I noticed camry was getting expensive (and corolla) and i was researching which car will be more affordable for personal and commercial use without stressing the pocket or visiting the mechanic. It was through YouTube and google i found hyundai elantra. And it was very much cheaper then, due to demand. I got one from an AIICO insurance officer used for less than a year for 1.2m (few months old) and barely used. Blue tokunbo i saw then was 1.5 at mangoro

Now that car is over 1.5 naija. Used. We knoe inflation is a thing but overdoing it is the main problem. Es300 was cheap before too before boys put eyes.

So its time to find a car worth it wey never too dey demand

“Dictator” is a propaganda term. A[b] “dictator”[/b] is defined as “someone we don’t like.” For example, Saddam Hussein was considered a great guy when he was fighting Iran and Iran was giving the U.S. problems. But he magically transformed into a “dictator” when he did things we didn’t like. This is not saying what he did was good or bad. His invasion of Kuwait was bad.

Another example was Suharto in Indonesia. He was a mass murderer who killed millions of people and fed communists to crocodiles. Instead, as Chomsky properly noted, the U.S. media focused on Pol Pot, who was also a mass murderer. But Suharto was considered a great guy by the U.S. because of his anti-communism.

Or consider the term[b] “terrorist” vs “freedom-fighter.”[/b] A terrorist is someone we don’t like. A freedom fighter is someone who commits the same acts, but for us. Again, the objective good or bad they are doing needs to be analyzed in a less biased and politicized manner.

For example, Osama bin Laden:

Keep doing the good work PUTIN

Finally, a country that is making sense.

The US has bombed at least two hundred countries spreading their hegemony, but they are termed ''liberation, freedom, fight against evil, defend of democracy'' etc. Because ''you can'' doesn't mean ''you should'' join nato, if not, Iran should not be sanctioned to death because it want to create nuclear weapons, and the US should not have almost nuked Cuba when Russia placed its missiles there in the '60s. Right now, Cuba is still under the heaviest sanctions for so many decades. Why the double standards?

I don't want to live in a world where the rule that applies to one, is used to punish the other. Sadly, lots of zombies are happy in such kind of world. Only the ''power of media'' Russia doesn't have, that is why it seems like everyone is sympathetic to Ukrainians. How about the thousands of ethnic Russians Ukraine have killed in Donbas? The west ignored all these because they want to use Ukraine as a pawn to contain Russia. And after Russia, probably China, and then, the whole world will permanently be chained under western hegemony. If you think colonialism was bad, you haven't seen anything yet. Just pray that day never comes. As an example, 8 out of every Nigerians (even Africans and the third world) rely on China for loans, cheap phones, and manufacturing. If they go down, how can you survive?

This is about the survival of Russia as a country and humanity as a whole because when it comes to survival, international law can go to hell. You should be alive first, before talking about the law. The security of and existence of Russia have to be guaranteed before it can grow economically. What's the point of letting NATO in your backyard, and even if you develop like Norway, you can be nuked within ten mins, making it impossible to defend and retaliate? be careful when you support the west. This is a fight against evil.

Hmm... What ever the case maybe just be sure you know how to drive long distance trip and high-highway driving. Lagos highway driving and inter state highway driving no be the same thing oh.

Ask him of his budget, make plans for ur reservation and feeding and make sure his offer covers for all of that.

Indians no dey pay well so expect something less but make sure the trip is worth it that's of you went on it.

Where in Delta state by the way? You can use the rider's app as you charging rate then multiply by 2 without adding cost of reservation, I.e if it's just drop off but if its to and fro do like wise then add reservation to the resulting amount.

I hope this helps.
May you find more favour. Isha alha!

FuckEveryday:

I don't think a Kia can survive interstate travels, but just weigh you options and if you must embark on the journey, charge handsomely. Kia repairs are not so cheap.

I posted this in January 2020....as at today I've spent over 900k on repairs accidents and mechanical issues. Car is milking me badly . Read

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

But the kia rio 2010 I brought no issue I enjoy it only fuel tank is dirty I discover it when I travel to ogun state when coming back and is Nigeria use company use not all Nigeria car has problems few does not have
Not always...I know there are no numbers to back this up, but people sell their cars for divers reasons.
Most times when people buy lemon it's because they want to be greedy or feel smart, a car that is bad will definitely go for a low price...haven known d value of a car, u still want to price it down, now seller knowing this car isn't good will sell it off without remorse.

People sell cars to solve problems, upgrade, travel, or use money for business.

Toks over naija used, Yes, but also consider the purpose of buying and the cars in question.

Oluwabengz:


Baba, did they tell you a good reason why the car was parked for 5yrs Just curious.

I hope you enjoy the car sha.
