Have you ever stopped at a petrol station to buy fuel only to discover that your gauge does not accurately show the amount you purchased? But if you are certain that you haven’t, pay close attention since you might have been duped by the deceptive tactics used by petrol attendants. Most Nigerian drivers have been taken advantage of at some point.

When purchasing fuel, it is advised to constantly pay close attention to the pump metre. When the pump starts normally, the metre must be reset to zero; however, unscrupulous attendants prey on your inattention to start the metre from the place where the last sale was made. If you want to watch, get out of your car and stand close to the metre. Here are a few strategies you can use to guard against being conned:

The TIM/CAL or Recall button
Some individuals might not be aware of this, although most gasoline dispensers have a button marked “Recall, TIM/CAL” or another label, depending on the unit. The purpose of the button is to make it possible for the attendant to view previous sales. You can view your most recent ten sales by pressing Recall, followed by the number you want to see, etc., and it will display the amount. In addition to looking at previous sales, fuel attendants use it to defraud customers.

Imitating the Nozzle’s Hanging
Almost every gas customer is aware that the readings reset to zero when the nozzle is hanging on the dispenser. As a result, gasoline attendants have also discovered a way to exploit it to increase their income. In order to prevent the old sales from being rubbed off and returning to zero, they gently hang the nozzle while the dispenser is still running.

This way, if a new customer arrives, they can simply pick up where they left off with the previous customer. This tactic is frequently employed when there is a shortage of fuel or when clients need to acquire fuel quickly. If the last transaction was for a small amount, the gasoline attendant will find this approach to be simpler.

The Okada or Keke Napep Benefit
Commercial tricycles and motorcycles, also known as Okadas and Keke Napeps in Nigeria, typically purchase small amounts of gasoline, such as 2 or 3 litres. The fuel attendant will exploit the Okada/Keke Napep advantage because of the small amount sold earlier and continue to flow fuel into the car’s tank without clearing the previous customer’s Okada/Keke Napep if the following customer plans to buy gasoline for his vehicle or Jerry can.

The Fill Your Tank Program
Because no more fuel is added to the tank when the pump shuts off automatically, filling up the tank may be another way to waste money and fuel. You are paying for gasoline that you do not receive because it is likely being diverted through the pump’s vapour recovery system and back into the station’s tank.

However, the need for space in the tank is more important because fuel vapours need room to expand. Overfilling a vehicle can push gas into the carbon filter, resulting in subpar operation, decreased mileage, or expensive repairs. Don’t fill up your tank the next time you need to buy fuel; it’s better for your automobile and much better for your money.

The problematic metre
Some gas pumps have modified metres so that they begin to tick even before the gas begins to flow from the pipe. Have you ever visited a gas station to buy gasoline and found that it takes less time there to fill your tank than it does elsewhere? This is due to tampered metres; depending on how the metres were altered, the attendant may lead you to believe that a particular fuel dispenser is operating quicker or slower than usual.

Using a dispenser pipe that is excessively long
Pumps that use long pipes conserve a lot of gasoline. A perfectly good metre will indicate that a specific volume of gasoline has been pushed out, but that volume hasn’t yet reached your tank because some of it is still in the pipe and will return to the pump. Stations can save a significant amount of fuel during the day, which causes the attendant to amass extra income from fuel that isn’t dispensed.

Getting Involved With The Dispenser Nozzle
The fuel flow is typically stopped manually by the pump attendants by keeping their fingers close to the nozzle. The necessary fuel runs out in this manner. By using these kinds of methods, the pump employee probably saves a few litres of fuel in a single day, which adds up to his own personal profit for the day.

Price Indicators From Both Sides
Pump attendants, who typically operate while drivers are distracted by other thoughts, manipulate drivers using this specific method. Pump attendants frequently display such audacity. When a gas pump has a back-and-forth screen that shows the amount of money dispensed on both sides, drivers should exercise additional caution.

Each side of the screen could display a different price for a variety of reasons, some of which are technical. For instance, there were ₦6,000 on one screen and around ₦4,000 on the other.


If you requested to purchase fuel valued at ₦5,000 and another customer from the opposite side of the pump is also purchasing fuel valued at ₦5,000, if you are not paying close attention, a cunning attendant may issue fuel valued at ₦4,000 and pretend to have dispensed the amount you requested while pointing to the pump on the other side; in reality, you have lost ₦1,000 because the price indicator was for the other pump.

Conclusion

Fuel attendants are sometimes very cunning when it comes to dispensing fuel. They make you believe that you bought a specific amount of fuel while in truth you didn’t, they will take advantage if you get distracted. During fuel scarcity periods, this is very rampant, so be careful next time you go to the filling station.

There are some obvious causes of deadly car accidents. However, some other things cause deadly accidents. Most of these things are often unexpected, which surprises everyone when they happen. Here are some of the unusual causes of deadly accidents we don’t discuss enough.


Bottle Water Container In A Car
Taking bottled water and littering in your car can lead to a serious car accident. Here’s how it manifests. When the container is dropped around the floor area of the driver’s area of car, it rolls as you drive, and there is a high possibility that it rolls behind your car’s brake pedal.

When it gets stuck behind your brake pedal, you won’t know because your attention is not conscious of an ordinary water bottle dropped on the car floor. But, when you want to brake during an emergency, the bottle behind the pedal makes your pedal get stuck, and braking will become impossible. This can lead to a serious accident.

Normal Driving In The Rain
Once it starts raining, you should automatically reduce your speed rate by 50 per cent because the floor is now wet. Driving fast when it’s raining is dangerous because you can hardly see clearly. Driving at high speed when it’s raining has been the major cause of many deadly car accidents.

Tailgating
Tailgating is when a driver drives too close to the car ahead of him, just like in a race car competition. You might think tailgating shows you off as a professional driver, but it’s unprofessional and causes a lot of accidents. Tailgating a driver ahead of you limits your reaction time if the car ahead suddenly stops. You’ll be held responsible if an accident occurs.

Animal Crossing
Many Nigerian drivers don’t realize how dangerous running into an animal can be. Along the routes that animals like cows cross, the best thing to do is slam a brake immediately after seeing them. Moving too close to the animals when they’ve not fully crossed the road, they can stop and run into your car, which can destroy your car.

Arguing With A Backseat Rider
Avoid engaging in an argument with someone sitting behind you. It divides your attention, and once it is divided, it affects your focus, which can cause a drastic accident.

Reversing Without Mirrors
Some drivers reverse their cars without looking into the side mirror and rely on their instincts. The mirror is where you’re supposed to draw your predictions for movement. Reversing without the aid of the side mirror can lead to a serious accident with an oncoming vehicle.

Driving Without Lights At Night
As dangerous as this is, many people still do it at night, which can cause serious accidents and damage to your car. Driving without lights at night blindsides you to the possible dangers on the road.

Conclusion

It’s not only obvious issues that cause car accidents. Some of the things we neglect lead to serious car accidents. The above-listed is among them.

The former housemate of Big Brother Naija, Christiana Ojumu, popularly known as Chri[url=https://www.carmart.ng/public/blog/no-endorsement-nothing-nothing-boom-gwagon-fans-react-as-bbnaijas-christy-o-acquires-a-g-wagon-worth-%e2%82%a6100m/]s[/url]ty O, shared a video of herself driving a white Mercedes Benz G-wagon worth over 100 million naira. She caused a stir online after she claimed that she had just acquired the car.

The former Big Brother Naija 7 housemate set tongues wagging online after she shared a video of herself chilling in the new white Mercedes Benz G-wagon.

However, this seemingly good news has gotten people to wonder if acquiring such an expensive car at the moment should be a priority for a young celebrity like herself While others have slammed the story as nothing but fake news geared at stirring people’s attention to her since she didn’t do well during her short stint on the BBNaija show

Many fans of the BBNaija show have reacted to the video shared by the reality TV star claiming that it is nothing but a publicity stunt, and if it is true she did acquire the luxury SUV, then her priorities her skewed.

Some fans have flooded her comment section with congratulatory messages, while others opined that Christy O was chasing clout with the vehicle because she can’t possibly afford it.

Unfortunately, the internet has made it easier to do business in Nigeria, increasing the potential for buyers to fall prey to online car fraud. If you are excited about buying a car and combed through dealership advertisements and promotions before finally deciding to buy a car and becoming a victim of an online car scam. Knowing this can feel frightening and devastating.

Online fraud is a major problem in e-commerce, and the local auto market has not escaped this nasty activity. There are many ways that buyers can be deceived or misled when buying used or new vehicles in Nigeria.

Car scammers are always attractive. Auto fraud usually involves gaining the trust of the buyer and then denying them the true history of the vehicle. Some forms of online car scams are very difficult to detect. If you think you may become the latest victim in a car-buying scam, we have got you covered.

What obligations do buyers and sellers have?
In the event of car fraud, the buyer is entitled to basic warranties such as additional performance, price reductions, and withdrawal from the contract in the event of material defects. You have the right to get

However, the seller principally reserves the right to correct the defect, i.e., the supplementary performance mentioned above, by himself. For certain deficiencies, such as incorrect model year information from the manufacturer or (non-applicable) ‘no accident’ vehicle condition agreements, this supplemental performance is not possible for practical reasons.

Therefore, you can demand a reduction in the purchase price or a withdrawal from the sales contract. Once you start trading, it can be difficult to follow the steps.

How can I find out if hidden problems exist?
Some car scams can be very difficult to detect, but there are tips and tricks to uncover hidden problems in any car. Many defects, such as the year of manufacture of the vehicle, are very easy to spot.

Another thing to watch out for is the 10th digit of your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is best seen by looking at the underside of the windshield on the driver’s side. One of the few online databases that provide recall information (such as adac.de or kba.de) allows you to look up pending manufacturer recalls.

Odometer operation and collision damage to the vehicle are difficult to detect in isolation, whether the frame is damaged or the damage is fully written off by the insurance.


A tip for working with analogue odometers is to make sure the numbers on the odometer line up correctly. For hidden damage to the vehicle, you can check if the vehicle has been repainted in the gaps in the body panels or inside the doors. Otherwise, you can bring your vehicle to a properly trained professional mechanic for full inspection.

What should I do if I think I’ve been scammed by a car scammer?
If you think you’ve been tricked by a car scammer, you might feel helpless. Many people have had similar experiences, and there are professional fraud lawyers who help scam buyers. Luckily, you are not alone.

We encourage you to send a formal complaint to the seller by registered mail with details of any defects or imperfections found. Obvious defects or similar anomalies, such as those indicating undocumented repairs, must be photographed to clarify the facts and reported defects.

Purchasing agreements, especially agreements regarding the condition of the vehicle, must always be recorded in writing. This often doesn’t happen in the middle of a pitch, so there should always be another person who can see everything the salesperson says. Collect all relevant documents related to the purchase of the vehicle. If possible, put together a written summary of the event that occurred.

Conclusion

When shopping abroad, never trust sellers or buyers who say their transactions are guaranteed by eBay, Craigslist, PayPal, or other online marketplaces. These websites do not expressly warrant the legitimacy of individuals who use their services.

Beware of misrepresentation of vehicle condition. Ensure you do a personal check and verification to ensure that the car you purchased has not been damaged or turned out to be a different model than advertising.

Even if you buy a car online, you will always meet potential sellers in public places such as shopping malls, public parks, societies, and cheap garages. Please consult a vehicle expert before purchasing. You can also buy all cars from verified car sales sites like Carmart.ng.

A stakeholder Sunny Ugorji at Port and Terminal Multiservices Ltd (PTML) Terminal in Lagos, who specialises in clearing imported vehicles, said that the Customs policy has led to a reduction in the volume of vehicles imported into the country.

According to him, Customs Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) policy, which requires cars from the 2013 model down to 2000 to pay the same import duty, has automatically resulted in a reduction in bringing used vehicles into the country.

“Accidented cars that used to enjoy about 50 per cent rebate in the past now pay the same import duty with cars that are in good condition. The money used in clearing vehicles is now costlier than the money used in buying the Tokunbo car oversea. I am currently processing a Volkswagen Golf that Customs gave an import duty of over N700,000. This was the same car that dealers used to clear with just N300,000.
“These were cars dealers used to buy with $1,500 and when the cost of shipment is added, it will amount to about $2,000, which was why a 2005 and below models of Toyota Camry that used to go for N1.6 million before, now cost about N3.5 million today,” Ugorji said.

Pointing out that dealers are leaving the car importation business because of unfavourable government policies, he said that before the VIN policy, importers of accidented vehicles used to get between 40 to 50 percent rebate.

Citing an example, he said that an importer of a car with N500, 000 import duty would almost get a rebate of N250,000 if proven to be an accidented but the new policy has made it compulsory for everybody to pay the 2013 duty.

“This is why volume is declining as ships go to Cotonou Port to discharge about 4,000 vehicles only for the same ship to come to Nigeria with only about 80 units of cars but close to 90 percent of the 4,000 units of cars in Cotonou Port would still find their way to Nigeria despite the ban on the importation of cars through the land borders.


“This is the middle of October, which is about two months to Christmas and the volume of imports remains low. This goes to show a lull in business activities at the port. In the past, this is the time dealers bring in a lot of used cars for buyers who are waiting for Christmas.

“Presently, over 20,000 units of cars are currently trapped at the port since the new Customs Policy, and the government is planning to auction them at ridiculous prices,” he said.

While saying that the government is tightening the knot in such a way that the importation business is suffering, he urged the government to look into the complaints of importers by making policies that are business-friendly.

“Instead of auctioning the over 20,000 vehicles abandoned in the port for over six months that the new Customs policy started, the government can give the importers a special window to pay affordable duties,” he said.

However, if the damage is too deep or too large due to a serious car accident or collision damage, we recommend that you not attempt to repair it yourself. Take your car to your local body shop and have it professionally repaired.

Here are some tips for repairing the body yourself.

Repairing Paint Scratches
Filling damaged areas of a car with paint is more difficult than fixing a simple paint scratch. If the damage is not too deep, simple paint scratches can be repaired by filling the scratch area with scratch filler or multiple coats of paint. Use the utmost patience and care to sand the affected area. Then wax the area until it looks shiny and smooth again.


Minor dents, scrapes, and dents can be easily repaired at home with putty and paint.

Repairing dents
If dents are popping up from the back and they are very small, a suction puller works well. However, if the dent is too deep, it will need to be patched and painted to be repaired. Repairing such damage requires painting and repairing putty to make the affected area look new again.

Repairing scratches and dent
It is common for most modern vehicles to have plastic bumpers that are prone to scratches and dents. These scratches are minor damage, but they can look very ugly on your vehicle. However, they are easy to fix at home with paint and putty. This is one of the simplest DIYs you can do yourself without travelling to the repair shop.

Broken headlights
Repairing broken taillights is a little more complicated than just dabbing putty or paint on a dent or scratch. There are cases. However, it is possible to fix it yourself with some handy tools. Follow these simple steps:


The first step is to remove the screws that hold the lens in place and remove those screws. As you can see the lens is held in place by some clips and rubber bushings. Remove these as well. At this point, pull out the bad or defective bulb and replace it with a new one. Reassemble everything you removed and the bulk work has been accomplished.


Conclusion

DIYs are a sure bet if you are trying to save money and not wanting to go to the mechanic shop at every turn. Car body damage is one thing you can do yourself, albeit, you might not get it right the first time. Trials and errors are a must at best. But, you should know that there are some dents and scratches or damage to your car body that you won’t be able to fix yourself.

A salvage car is a car that has been repaired after a very serious accident or disaster and shipped to Nigeria for sale. The junk car industry is booming these days as it offers a much cheaper alternative to owning other cars for sale.

A salvage car is a car that has acquired a salvage title because it was in an accident and was not covered by the insurance company for repairs. We would like to show you how to identify a crashed car in Nigeria. These cars have been refurbished and shipped to Nigeria to be sold as regular cars.

Before and after the recovery vehicle. Salvage repair can be very misleading for car buyers. It is not a crime to buy and repair a car that has been salvaged in Nigeria. For example, if you really want a 2008 Lexus ES350, the regular price is around £25,000 and the one with the salvage title sells for around £18,000 but will cost around £50,000 to repair to be a standard Lexus. If you buy the same 2008 Lexus ES350 at a regular price after refurbishment. It’s a fraud when the seller says it’s a “fresh Tokumbo car”.

Selling crash-repaired cars is a form of fraud in Nigeria. Car dealers import these refurbished junk cars from Japan and sell them to buyers at the same price as non-junk cars. This is why you need to know how to identify salvage cars for sale in Nigeria so you don’t waste your money.

Run a VIN test
Carfax, Bumpa and other VIN verification websites have a way to verify cars shipped from some countries.

After paying online, simply enter the vehicle identification number and other details of the vehicle to be inspected for salvage characteristics. The details of the car from the country of origin will be displayed on the computer screen. All these developed countries with very good database systems record such things, especially vehicle history.

Have the Mechanic inspect the chassis and body
If the VIN for the car is not available on any VIN checking website, you will need to start with a chassis check and then move on to manual methods to find the crashed car.

Although you can easily do this yourself, we highly recommend the services of an experienced body shop independent of the car dealer. A car that has been in a serious accident may have a damaged chassis. Have your mechanic check how straight the chassis of this car is, then check for any signs of a collision.

A car with a bent chassis definitely gets the salvage title. Meanwhile, a car with a crooked chassis continues on the road, leading to an accident. It’s also possible that the car was repaired after the crash and doesn’t have a salvage title, but this is a possible sign to watch out for. At least we know that the car dealer was lying when they said the car was still in the first body. From here you can see more signs of collision repair.

Pay rewiring to check for signs of flooding
An automotive wiring technician, also known as a re-wire in Nigeria, is the best person to check the license plates of any car you are considering buying. He/she can easily determine if the car has recovered from the flood by checking the wiring system and opening certain areas of the car.


Wiring hidden in parts of the car responds to water and is easily visible to the naked eye. The wires would have turned brown in places and had a peculiar smell. Also, the car’s bodywork should be thoroughly inspected for any traces of rust or water on the dashboard.

A flooded car is a car that has been the victim of severe flooding, damaging the car’s systems and being declared irreparable by the insurance company tasked with reviving it. The car needed a lot of repairs for it to work.

Check for internal gaps
Accident car interiors most often reveal them. If you notice that your floor mats or other trim don’t fit together well, then you have to suspect

Look for upgrades and facelifts
As soon as you realize the car has been revised for another year, it’s a serious sign that you have a salvage title.

Car dealers know that Nigerians love the idea of upgrading their cars. They use this to lure car buyers into buying salvage title cars at prices even higher than the standard price. The sign is simpler if the dealer wants to sell the upgraded car at the normal market price.

Conclusion

You have learned how to identify salvaged cars in easy steps, so you will never fall victim to salvaged car business scams. If you buy a junk car cheaper than the normal car price, that’s what one would expect. You are taking a big risk and should be rewarded with a lower price.

Really, who doesn't enjoy the rain? in a land as hot as Nigeria's.Heavy rain is not the only thing that irritates drivers; the wet seasons also have higher accident rates. According to statistics from the Nigeria Auto Council, wet pavements and roads are to blame for at least 1 million instances, or 1/4 of all traffic accidents.

There are two basic causes for this. First, when it rains, a thin layer of water remains on the ground, considerably reducing tire friction and making steering and braking more difficult. Additionally, it limits driver visibility, particularly when rain is traveling in numerous directions. We all detest driving in the rain, but since it is necessary, we should take the following simple safety measures.

Consistently clean windshields
Many of us let the dust build up until it became completely obscured (so we wouldn't have to spend money on car cleaning). Instead, quickly clean the windshield each time you park your car or get home. Remember to clean both the front and rear to ensure a clear driving view.

Do not use high beams of light.
Contrary to popular opinion, main beam headlights would be detrimental in this situation since they would reflect the light back to you, further obstructing your vision of the road.

Verify the water level.
As a general guideline, you should avoid an area where the water is higher than the bottom of the car doors or, if you're being extra cautious, higher than two-thirds of the wheel.

If necessary, drive more cautiously and pay attention to the direction of the water. Ideally, you should drive closely behind any large vehicle that is currently moving forward since its speed will momentarily lower the water level behind you.

Additionally, avoid engaging your brake since doing so would require you to restart your engine, which is a huge cautionary sign while traveling on a route that has been flooded. Just slightly release your foot from the throttle pedal. If the water level rises any more, as previously said, take another path or just stop. The lives of both you and the engine of your automobile are not worth the danger.

Show patience
In the rain, your automobile would likely slide rather than run. In this situation, steering gently and waiting for the rear of the car to catch up to the front, or steering into the skid, is advised. Even though it's not recommended without the anti-lock feature, you may still utilize your brake. If at all possible, get your car ABS brakes.

Pay attention to detail
The following are the things you should be aware of when driving in the rain: obstacles in your path. To be ready for inclement weather, it's also a good idea to repair the broken windshield wipers. Regularly inspect the tires' tread to see whether it can still be seen, as well as the brakes.

Clean your vehicle before driving through the rain.
Do you know that after a prolonged dry spell, the rain makes the roadways very slick?

This is due to the fact that when you drive your automobile just after it has rained, the dust from those dry days will combine with any lingering oils and precipitation to create an oily combination. Your tires' and the roads' friction will be reduced as a result, particularly at junctions where many vehicles wait for the traffic signal and the mixes are released onto the streets. In order to avoid driving on certain days, wash your car before leaving.

Put your dipped headlights on.
Even when there is only a few drops of rain, it is strongly advised to switch on your headlights because it will improve both your visibility and other drivers'. Just be careful to switch on the dipped lights rather than the main ones since water drops act as mirrors, reflecting the powerful light back at you and impairing your eyes, which is ultimately counterproductive.

Watch out for water-filled potholes in the road.
Sometimes there are puddles on the roadways after the rain. Some of them are small, while some hide enormous holes inside. Before stepping into the puddle, be sure you can gauge its depth. Best case scenario: avoid large puddles by taking a short detour instead of holding your breath at intervals.

Drive in the middle of the lane.
Roads are frequently built with side ditches to collect water. In order to avoid driving through water that has accumulated after rain, drive closer to the middle of the road if it is not too congested.

Do not apply the brakes
It is advisable to slow down by really slowing down rather than slamming on the brakes since wet roads are particularly slick. Simply let off the gas pedal gradually to allow the car to slow down on its own. To prevent stopping suddenly, you really must look behind you for any automobiles and softly use the brakes.

Conclusion
When driving in the rain, keep your speed down to the absolute minimum so you have time to respond to any obstacles. In the rain, it can often be more difficult to detect obstacles and debris. Additionally, to be extra assured, slow down even more when you encounter puddles.

Do you have good highway driving skills with your car? Expressway driving requires specialized abilities that may be learned. Expressways tend to have more accidents than other types of roads since they are open and spacious. Liken it to street driving, which has some speed restrictions. Even though you could be enjoying the high speed and showing off your driving prowess, it is possible, if you are not careful, to have a terrible vehicle accident.

There are many experienced drivers who can utilize the expressways at any hour, while other drivers are afraid to do so due to their fear of speed. As long as you follow the regulations and take basic safety precautions, driving on the highway is not particularly terrifying.

Check your vehicle’s condition
It is crucial that you inspect your automobile before navigating the expressways. You don’t want to take a chance by driving a damaged car on the highway. Examine the brakes, lighting, steering, transmission, and all other vital components of your automobile. Make sure everything is operating as it should; you don’t want to be on the expressway and discover that your brakes are broken. Take your automobile in for the necessary maintenance before you start driving.

Never overlook checking your tires. Check to see if your automobile has the proper amount of air pressure. The weight of your automobile will cause an underinflated tire to bulge out. When you go at a high rate of speed, it bobs up and down. Overheating causes it to weaken and rupture. Ensure that your tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended level.

Steer clear of large vehicles
This doesn’t imply that you should stop to allow every truck to pass, but rather that you shouldn’t attempt an abrupt overtake. Avoid acting foolishly and starting a race with a truck or large lorry that is approaching you at a high rate of speed. They are made in that manner for a reason. Additionally, you never know when their brakes will malfunction, so take caution.

Watch your speed
Feeling the wind on your face while driving at high speed is usually enjoyable and invigorating. But bear in mind that you shouldn’t go too fast. Keep in mind that moving slowly is also undesirable. There are speed limits for driving on local streets and on expressways; abide by each one.

Give a signal before passing
This time, though, we are not deliberately bringing it up for passing large vehicles or lorries. Always sound your horn as a warning before passing any vehicle. Do this without becoming distracted or forgetting to do it. Horning before passing a car alerts the driver in front of it that one is coming up behind it. This helps them to position their automobile for you to pass, and so you do not overtake them by surprise. Some drivers lost their lives as a result of their sheer disregard for the law.

Bear in mind the blind spot
Before changing lanes, always check your blind area, mirrors, and to see if someone is crossing the road. To be able to see the vehicles and people in your rear-view and outside mirrors, you should aim to maintain a safe distance. Try to avoid driving in other people’s blind areas as well.

Avoid changing lanes
On the freeway, you should always stay in the right lane. The passing lane is on the left. Avoid staying in the left lane if you don’t intend to pass, since doing so irritates and befuddles other motorists. Additionally, try to avoid making lane changes when they are not necessary.

On wet days, go more slowly
Avoid traveling too quickly on the highway when it is raining. You should slow down to improve your traction and allow the tires to properly contact the pavement. Make sure your tires are properly in contact with the ground to prevent hydroplaning.

Conclusion
You shouldn’t abruptly stop your automobile without giving a signal, a warning, or a chance to calm down. Such a sudden stop might frighten the vehicles behind you and cause an accident. You should switch on your warning lights in an emergency. Then, stop as quickly and cautiously as you can.These are very important driving tips for highway or express cruising.

Nigeria is now 62 years old as an independent nation. Ever since its independence from British colonial rule on October 1, 1960, it has been a chequered history for the country. From 1960 to date, Nigeria has had 16 heads of government, eight of whom were military Heads of State and two of whom were later democratic elected Presidents.

Every October 1st we have the current president on eagle square Abuja observing an independent day celebration with a host of other top executives of all the arms of government.

Let’s look at the top three presidents and cars they have used during the celebration at square Abuja.

Umaru Musa Yar’adua
https://www.carmart.ng/public/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Umaru-Musa-Yaradua-cars.jpg
Umaru Musa Yar’Adua GCFR was the former President of Nigeria from 2007 to 2010. He was declared the winner of the Nigerian presidential election held on 21 April 2007 and was sworn in on 29 May 2007.
Umaru Musa Yar’adua to date is referred to as Nigerian best ever president, after his death, he was succeeded by Dr Goodluck Jonathan

Goodluck Jonathan
https://www.carmart.ng/public/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Goodluck-Jonathan-at-eagle-square-abuja.jpg
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a well-known Nigerian politician who served as the President of Nigeria between 2010-2015, before being succeeded by General Muhammadu Buhari. He left an indelible mark on his personality by being the first Nigerian president to concede defeat in the 2015 gubernatorial elections in Nigeria. Good luck Ebele Jonathan has a rich history in the world of Nigerian politics prior to his becoming president of Nigeria. Being a politician and a scholar, Goodluck Jonathan is renowned and amassed wealth and fortune to his name.

Muhammadu Buhari

Muhammadu Buhari served as the president of Nigeria since 2015. He is a retired Nigerian Army major general who served as the country’s military head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état.

If you are entering Lagos for the first time, the first thing that says welcome to you is the yellow danfo buses. Not a “welcome to Lagos State” signpost, but the yellow buses. They are everywhere you look in Lagos. You will lose count of how many danfo buses you’ll find in Lagos.

Another thing you’ll quickly realise is that Danfo drivers are rough riders. So, you wonder why they always drive so rough on the road?

If you’ve ever wondered why Danfo drivers in Lagos drive roughly, here are the reasons;

Due To Traffic
The main target of every Lagos Danfo driver is to get to their destination on time, drop off passengers, pick up new ones, and beat traffic. So, to avoid traffic and make as much money as possible, Danfo drivers always drive fast. When driving, their only concern is getting passengers, so they don’t worry about their speed limit.

To Meet The Lagos Standard
The thing about Lagos is that everyone is always in haste. Both pedestrians and drivers. There’s also always traffic, and almost everyone on Lagos road is negotiating their way to their destination fast enough. There’s a famous saying that there’s no dull moment on Lagos roads. Either you’re shining your eye and moving fast, or you’re ready to sleep on the road.

So, Lagos Danfo drivers internalise the need for this, and as such, each one of them is constantly moving as fast as they can.


LASTMA, Taskforce & Lagos Thugs
If you know Lagos, you’ll know there’s no shortage of thugs or LASTMA officers on the road. They are always billing Danfo drivers for one reason or another. If a Danfo driver is not careful, they’d spent up to 60 thousand Naira trying to bail their buses from LASTMA or entering the trap of thugs. So, rough driving is their way of outsmarting and running away from them.

How Do they Learn Rough Driving?
Danfo drivers most times start as conductors. So, they do most of the learning by watching the driver while he drives. From there, they learn when to increase speed and how to escape the task force each day. They don’t get any formal training. Experience teaches Danfo drivers how to drive rough on the road.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRjhfPK8yok


Conclusion
Lagos Danfo drivers are known for their rough driving. But, driving rough is their only coping mechanism to withstand the rugged nature of Lagos, make money and escape excessive billings from Lagos thugs and taskforce.

In Nigeria, nothing reigns supreme, like the use of slang. Almost everything has slang for it in Nigeria. It’s the Nigerian way of catching cruise; it’s what keeps the ball rolling in the country. Nigerian mechanics have their slangs that’ll always confuse you. If you don’t pay attention, you might not get what they are trying to say.

To avoid confusion the next time you visit the mechanic, here are the commonly used slangs by Nigerian mechanics you should always keep in mind.

FO-GA-9-ZA
When you hear a Nigerian mechanic say this word, just know they meant “Vulcanizer.” It’s a term used to refer to tyre technicians in Nigeria. Interestingly, the actual term for tyre repairers is not vulcaniser. Vulcanizer is a chemical reaction that occurs when a tyre is made from rubber and sulphur. The actual name for tyre repairers is “Tyre Technicians.” But it’s Nigeria, and anything goes.

TURTLE
This is the name Nigerian mechanics will call the only pedal that makes your car move fast. The actual word for the pedal is “Throttle.” Turtle is the name of the animal that lives underwater. The throttle is the car’s gas pedal; it makes every car move forward when it’s in driving gear. So, when you hear a mechanic say “turtle”, know that they are talking about “throttle.”

MEKO
Meko is the short word they use when they mean “mechanic.” Your Nigerian automobile technician will comfortably use the word “meko” when they mean mechanic. So, when you hear it, just know they’re talking about an automobile technician.

TUBOR
Tubor is what Nigerian mechanics will call Turbocharger. A turbocharger is a device in a first induction car that allows cars to convert waste gas to more power. It allows your car to go faster. So, when you hear “Tubor,” know they are talking about a turbocharger.

THUMB START
Thumbstart is what Nigerian mechanics say when referring to cars that start with a push button. When you Nigerian mechanic says, “thumbstart cars”, know they are talking about push-to-start cars. The correct word is “Push-To-Start.” No need to correct them; it’s okay knowing what they mean.

INDOMIE
This one is almost strange. Because, when a mechanic tells you to change the indomie of your car, what does that even mean? Does it mean that cars are made with indomie? Well, the content of the catalytic converter in every car is made up of strands that are in noodle-like shapes.

JEEP
Nigerian mechanics do not just use this one. Many Nigerians use it. Most Nigerians have the problem of referring to every SUV as a jeep.

Jeep is, in fact, an automobile manufacturer. They were the first car company that produces the first off-road vehicle. So, the right word for cars that are not sedans or compact cars is SUV and not Jeep. SUV means sports utility vehicle.


REWIRE
Rewire is the word used by Nigerian mechanics to refer to the person that rewires the electrical aspect of the car. The correct term for them is “automotive wiring technician.” So, once a car mechanic directs you to a “rewire”, know that this is who they’re talking about.

V4 ENGINE
The V4 engine is the term Nigerian mechanics use when they mean “4-Cylinder Engine” or “Inline Four Engine.” So when you hear a V4 engine, know that this is what they’re talking about. However, V4 engines are only found in motorcycles, for example, Ducati V4R, Aprilia RSV4, and Honda VFR.

BOW JOINT
Trusted and Affordable Toyota vehicle Mechanics in Lagos
Trusted and Affordable Toyota Mechanics in Lagos
When you hear your mechanic say, “bow joint.” Know they are referring to “Ball Joint.” The ball joint is the device in your car that allows the steering to move in different directions. They also ensure they remain attached to the vehicle. The device allows your car wheel to move up and down as needed.

Conclusion

Knowing the correct words and terms for the slang used by Nigerian mechanics will save you confusion when they start using them. You don’t necessarily need to correct them. Knowing the correct words/terms for yourself is enough.

Sir Ojukwu's Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith LWB was borrowed by the Federal government of Nigeria to Chaffeur #QueenElizabeth during her 1956 visit to Nigeria

There are some Nollywood celebrities that the list is never complete without their names. Eniola Badmus is one of these people. She has starred in several Nollywood movies, played various roles and till today, still plays active roles in the industry.

The Ijebu-Ode born-actress, who shot to stardom after starring in two Nollywood Yoruba films titled “Jenifa” and “Omo Ghetto”, has been trending this whole week as she just turned 45 years old on 7 September.

The actress blessed herself with a 2017 Mercedes GLE 450 SUV, she took to her Instagram to share pictures of her birthday present with the caption :

About The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 pared down its powertrains to gas-only or a plug-in hybrid, although it still has plenty of stops in between for luxury buyers. The GLE 450 may be a new name for some, but it’s a relatively old model for Mercedes-Benz. Last year, Mercedes revamped the M-Class name with some new bodywork and an updated interior and slapped on a GLE name to better fit with their naming scheme.
