It is not who I or you or Makele thinks, it is who they vote to win that will win Balloon Dor.
What exactly has Mpappe achieve this season to deserve it?

They announce Mpappe now, Lamin Yamal and those supporting him will cry foul.
Erling Harland and Dembele nkor?
Have they not tried this season to deserve it too?
The whole thing is now full of controversies.

But for me, I think Earling Harland is a better striker than Mpappe.
Harland is a beast.

I still don't understand.

The school is less than 30mins from Abuja. It is on the highway immediately after Mararaba/ Masaka.

I have two children in that University.
I must say it is quite decent university.
The fees are Not too expensive - ranging from 800k - N2.5M depending on the course.
Hostel accommodation is compulsory.
The hostels are quite decent and well maintained.
The students are decent and well behaved.
The female students are not allowed to wear trousers. And the boys are not allowed to keep dreadlocks or wear baggie trousers.
Initially , my daughter was very skeptical about not being allowed to wear trousers, but she got over it and doesn't complain anymore.
The school environment is okay. As the hostels are not far from the lecture rooms.
But the student do complain about the compulsory chapel which services takes too long than necessary.
Also, android phones are sometimes being seized in classrooms. The school is still neither here or there with the use of android phones, but ordinary phones are allowed.

Graduation within 4 years or stipulated period is guaranteed. Results are released timely per semester.

I have an issue with the classifications of some courses under the faculties they put them.
Some courses don't need to be in Administration and some that don't need to be in social sciences are there.
I think their Senate needs to look into these and make adjustments.

And the evil marketers are still selling about N1300 and ripping off customers.
Nigerians are our own problems.

Since price dropped in international market, fuel stations have refused to bring down pump prices, and they are claiming they need to sell off old stocks. Let the prices go up now, they will increase immediately now minding it is old stocks.

This rubbish is what you get when there are no price regulatory bodies.
Nigerians are as evil as their leaders.

Good and educative post.
But you see those VIO thieves, they are are extremely wicked. All of them won't ever make heaven.
If you try to proof you know the law and want to pay at the bank, they will deliberately become mean and they will simply take you to their office and fill ridiculous amounts for you to go and pay in the bank. Even when you pay, they will disappear and won't be available to release your car that day.

There was one time a traffic light was faulty along Area 11 in Abuja. The lights turns Green and after 5 seconds, it goes Red, so drivers will pass the Traffic light thinking it is still Green. That was where VIO deliberately went and stood a few meters ahead to be corruptly arresting people and extorting money that they beat traffic light. I fell victim for them once and they refused to listen to my innocence or explanation. I parted with 10k which they told me to go pay at the bank as I insisted when they took me to their office.
I cursed all of them involved that the will lose their jobs before tej year runs out.
And nearly all of them did when VIO downsized.

Quite beautiful.
May God bless their union

As soon as she start to have sexual urge.

You do understand that the same way it takes some level of intelligence to understand sarcasm is also the same way it takes intelligence to notice typographic error right?

Someone with the least level of intelligence should be able to notice it's an error but unfortunately you couldn't.

That's no typo error. Even if it was typo error and he meant 1998, that would mean he was 12 yrs old when he got certified for that professional certificate. That age doesn't jell.
Did he then meant 2008?
No one would make typo error for 1998 when he actually meant 2008.
Besides , dude looks older than 40.

Young man, who are you calling indomie generation? Who is your mate? Are you okay?
Because you are on a faceless platform you feel everyone is your mate?
When I was in secondary school, your mother probably hadn't met your father.
I am not your mate 1000 times for sure.
So be very careful.

If una want to do una silly Biafra no sense, you can do it in your SE. Don't drag South South into your Biafra. We the people of SS are not part of Biafra and will not align with your Biafra nonsense

How much are they even paid for silly comtents sef?
Every John, Jonas, Jane and Jenifer is now a content creator. Trust Nigerins when they want to enter a line of business.. Everybody is now doing content wanting to earn money so tey the payment for contents has crash to peanuts, and yet people are sharing their nudity online in name of contents for peanuts.
Very soon, earnings from contents will drop as low as few cents for each content.
I pray soon make the business of content creating cast so that everyone go rest and stop all these madness online.

Worst President ever in the history of Nigeria.
The man doesn't anything he says. Believe him at your peril.

Tinubu is a collosal failure.
Everybody knows and can see evidences that the man doesn't care about Nigerians. He is just interested in collecting loans and looting.

Apparently, he is the worse President in the history of Nigeria.
Emilokan to loot

Crappy Headline.
Why didn't the cats ban humans from making the video and posts since they rule humans?

helinues:
I started reversing and moving forward even before dad taught me how to drive. The place at which the car is parked is open to canal, learning with manual in such kind of place boost more than confident in driving

But in generally driving, you feel relax with automatic car than manual

Different strokes for different folks.
Am more at home with Manual.
I enjoy the power and confidence everytime I change gears with Manual cars.

helinues:
You are mixing things together. Learning a car is different from what the discussion is all about

Is It Wise To Buy A Manual Transmission As A First Car?

The op is asking about buying first car. Whether you learn manual or automatic driving, which do you think you will enjoy the driving most on your first car

Nope, I answered him accordingly in my initial post that he should go for Manual if it is his first car because of the advantages of manual.

However, I am replied you based on your response about Manual being cumbersome and giving drivers anxiety in traffic.
That is why I asked you if you know how to drive Manual? And you seem to be avoiding answering the question.
Obviously, you don't know how to drive a manual car. So you are not in the position to give advise on what you don't know.
Like I said earlier, if you only drive Automatic car, you only know how to "move a car" . Go and learn to drive a manual car so you can confidently tell anyone that you can "Drive a car".
Knowing how to move a car is different from knowing how to drive a car.

helinues:
I am not particularly talking about the driving part but the safety and gaining confidence on road with first car.

There is anxiety sometimes when changing gear most especially in traffic, the calmness and confidence need to be mastered before enjoying manual car.

Dude, be honest and tell me, do you drive a manual? Yes or No.

I am almost sure you have never driven a Manual car and that is why you are talking about anxiety with changing gears in traffic.
There is absolutely no big deal with changing gears in traffic if you learnt to drive Manual cars. Infact, you can change gears with your eyes close and unconsciously if you have been driving manual for over 3 months.

See most of you that learned to drive Automatic without learning to drive Manual first always come with these kinds of crappy talk.
If you go to driving school, they will advise you to learn to drive Manual instead of automatic. E get why.
They use Manual to teach you how to drive.

The reason is that when you use a Manual car, you are learning to "Drive a Car" .
But when you use an Automatic car, you are learning to "Move a car".

All you people driving automatic cars, only know how to move a car . Go back and learn how to drive a car with Manual.

My neighbor had a terrible experience some years back. His wife was in labour at midnight and needed to rush to the hospital.
His automatic car couldn't start. I had travelled when he called for help. I told him to go collect my car keys and drive his wife to hospital. Lo and behold, he only knew how to drive Automatic and my car then was Manual. It was then it dawn on him that he did not actually know how to drive but only knew how to move an automatic car.

Go back and learn how to drive using a Manual drive which would give you an advantage of being able to drive both automatic and manual.

Hello Nairalanders,

Please I need your honest advice.

I am considering buying a Toyota Corolla 2010 as my first car, but the one I am seeing is manual transmission. I know most people prefer automatic, especially in city traffic, but I also hear that manual cars can be cheaper to maintain, more fuel-efficient, and sometimes more durable if handled well.

My concern is that this will be my first car, and I am still thinking about whether manual transmission is a good idea for a beginner, especially with Nigerian traffic and daily movement.

Please for those who have used manual cars before, especially Corolla manual:

Is it advisable for a first-time car owner?

Is the maintenance easier or cheaper than automatic?

Will it be stressful in traffic?

Does it affect resale value badly?

What should I check before buying a manual Corolla 2010?

I will appreciate your sincere advice before making payment.

Thank you.

My dear brother, let me give you the honest truth.
When you compare owning a Manual and Automatic car and you put the pros and cons against each other, believe me Manual car are at advantage.
The only advantage of Automatic over Manual is that you don't need to change gears, just put your leg on acceleration and drive.

But comparatively, Manual cars are at advantage than Auto.
I speak from experience because I own both Manual and Automatic cars and I drive the two car week in week out. Anytime, I feel more at home with the Manual.

1. If you learn to drive Manual car, you can easily drive an Automatic without going to learn. But if you learn to drive Automatic first, you won't be able to drive Manual unless you learn afresh.
2. Manual cars don't have gear box issues. Gear box complications with Automatic cars can be frustrating.
3. Manual cars are easier and cheaper to maintain and less cumbersome than Automatic.
4. When you have key starter or battery issues with Manual cars, you can easily push and start the car. You can't do so with automatic cars.
5. In situation of break failures, it is far easier to control a manual car than an automatic. Simply change gear from high to low gear in manual and the car responds faster. But that is not so in automatic.
6. With a Manual car, you are more in control of the car than in Automatic. Manual gives you power behind the wheel which the Automatic doesn't.

Forget the talk of Manual being hard to drive. I tell you very well, those saying such thrash only know how to drive Automatic, they can't or have not driven manual. Ask anyone that has driven both manual and automatic, they will tell you that the only advantage Automatic has over manual is that you don't need to change gears and it is easier in traffic. Aside that, manual cars are far more advantageous than Automatic.
I have given you the advantages above.

Thank you.

Go for Manual if it is your first car.

helinues:
it's wise and advisable as a first time car owner to get automatic car

Use that to master driving before going for manual

Where did you hear this kind of theory?
Learn to drive Automatic first before Manual?
That's awkward advise.
If you learn to drive Manual, you can drive Automatic.
But if you learn auto first, you will have problems with Manual while learning.

Macphenson:
This message is misleading. First of all the location of building the bungalow should be mentioned with the cost. If it is Lagos especially on the Island where you have to do a raft foundation, #30m won't be enough.

Secondly the design of the house is another factor. If it is a simple design,the cost will be less, if is a more complex design, the cost will be more.

Another factor is the class and choice of finishings
Are you going to use PVC or POP.
Are you going to use Nigerian made tiles or imported tiles Are you going to screed the walls or just paint?
Are you going to use emulsion paints or satin and other more expensive paints?

There are a lot of variables and should be put into consideration. I conside the ops information misleading and ignorant. It is not detailed enough.

Your analysis is right and at the same time, the author's estimate is almost correct.
Don't forget he said 2 bedroom.or 3 bedrtom.
I built a 3 bedroom last year in abuja, and it cost slightly above N30m.
I will rather adjust his estimate to between N20m - N40m.
The most important aspect of building where costing might vary widely is the finishing.
Two people can build the same type of structure but the internal finishing differs leading to differing cost.

Adesarahshina:
Hello all, please I'd like to be enlightened on the current charges of bricklayers for casting lintel.

The said building is 2 bedroom. I'm trying to have an idea of the current cost to guide me in negotiating with my bricklayer.

Thank you.

Prices differ according to Location. Also some Masons might try to play smart of you don't know much .

I live in Abuja, and I built a 3 bedroom flat in Abuja last year.
For most block work (including Lintel), they charge per block. Usually N100 or N120 per block, OR alternatively daily pay of N10, 000 or N12,000 for Mason and N5000 for Bricklayer. However, N100 or N120 per block is for both Mason and labour.

If you are doing Lintel work, it involves Mason, Labour and Carpenter. You will need to buy woods for the carpenter to come and board the lintel first before the masons do their work.
The total cost of finishing a Lintel work will vary largely according to the structure of the building and how you want the structure fortified. Some people will prefer chained lintel which is more expensive . Some will want half Lintel. And other people that want to manage cost will opt for makeshift lintel block to save cost

Hmmmm
Mudslinging has started.
So they are about to tear OBIdient movement apart?
