It's plain hypocrisy when they come here and bash Mercedes Benz Cars and go behind to acquire one

After bashing Amudimkpa and his ML they still want to buy the ML they called a joke.
Amudimkpa come and see someone wants Ur ML

I was seeing how they were talking of LEXUS RX300 in another thread and the issues that the car especially the SUV was giving them, I laughed, I know that ML 320 - ML450 is a good SUV most of the guys I see driving them don't complain of their SUV ...Benz is a good car.


I just enjoy this thread

Can I have your number let us talk business

okeyglm:

Audi and Toureg are core luxury SUV

richPHAROAH:

oginga What is your take on Benz, they said that Lexus is better, You drive Audi and Benz..what is your take

LoL...I enjoy following this thread and I think Benz is an amazing ride ...forget all these gragraa.... that guy amudimkpa is such a funny man but he is right

Thanks

As Amudimkpa said, it is a good one It doesn’t matter how old is a Mercedes car there’s no room for squeak or rattle. Mercedes-Benz welds all of its vehicles in 10,000 different places to make sure no nuts or bolts get loose. Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the best-selling model with 13 million sold in 2015, is a perfect example of breath-taking design.

Daxbiz:

Thanks.

NB: I presently drive a 190 auto. I spend an average of N4,500 in 15hrs driving time every week.

Good morning everyone.

In the middle of the night today, I tried to look for duvet to cover up my son on bed. I decided to check my wife wardrobe.

I saw a pack of mycoten in the wardrobe. She already slept this time. So I had to chill till this morning to ask her questions.

So, this morning when I asked her, she said it was her mum that gave her bla bla bla..
I saw a piece of paper prescribing that cream for her in that same bag I found the cream.

I googled the uses of mycoten and I found out it was nothing serious because it is use for yeast infection and vagina odour. My wife dont have vagina odour and I understand yeast infection can be gotten from toilet or could be infection of body skin that spread or so.

I actually know she lied about her mummy giving her. But what baffles me is that I got a whatsapp message from her when she was coming from my son school..

She wrote that I nag a lot. That I should give her space. That u think she can't cope without me. She said she will look for work to take care of our son.She said we have been together for six years and I don't even trust her a bit. She said I think she can't leave without her. She didn't even address the issue of allegation of infidelity I threw against her(i deliberately did that #.I replied her I can't give her space in my own house and if she is fed up, she can pack her bags and go to her parent house. I told her if my son is infected or if I am infected , I am going to kill her and hand over myself to police. Immediately she blocked me on whatsapp and I did same. After an hour, she unblocked me.

Could she have been sleeping around her? Or are there any other uses of mycoten I don't know?

In my mind though, the cream I find is not really something to worry about but the message I got and her reaction is what I don't understand.

LOL...Have you been suspecting her..clone her number period and save us all these

Honbright:
OAU Conference: Lawyer says massive festival of looting national wealth cause of citizens unwillingness to pay tax

...Why Government should start paying Nigerians for road unworthiness

...Nigeria economic woes as a result of Kleptocracts over Technocrats.

The Obafemi Awolowo University hosted the landmark 2019 National Students' Legislative Conference titled THE PARLIAMENT AND THE PEOPLE: THE DEFINITION OF TRUE DEMOCRACY on the 23rd and 24th of October, Voice Air Media reports.

Speakers at the event included Chairman House of Reps Committee on NDDC Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Chartered Banker Mr Yinka Olatunbosun, Chief Legislative Officer of Lagos Assembly Mr Omoyele Abdul Quadri and Barr. Desmond Orisewezie and other distinguished guests, VAM has gathered.


At the event, key panelist Barrister Desmond defined democracy as a function of legitimacy and the interplay of majority choices and so parliament must rework a national policy agenda to protect minority interests.


He stated that we possess one Identity and that is Nigeria but ethnicity, resources control and religious sentiments have been weaponized for political mischief because our politics is ideologically bankrupt.


Also, capital punishment was advocated for electoral rigging, probably when the electoral manipulators are aware that they may be sentenced to death if found guilty by a law court of unlawfully subverting the will of the people, they would be more cautious.


Parliamentarians as representatives of the people must be seen to take brave actions and not merely just being wish makers for the executives. They must tame the growing executive rascality, take action(s) to protect judicial interference, tackle the high handedness of the security agencies, prevent the gagging of the press, and also formulate policies that will reverse the peoples pain and misery.


The tax authorities must exercise caution over the growing burden of taxation. It is a universal practice for tax authorities to increase tax ratios mostly during a period of soaring economy and national prosperty and not to do the vice versa, especially at a time where Nigeria has bagged a global distinction in the world's poverty index.


Government must ensure that tax payers get value by using the tax lodgments for the overall development of the society, but due to the massive festival of looting of the nations wealth by a few and the attendant maladministration being recorded, citizens are becoming unwilling to pay taxes. It is an irony is that we pay for road worthiness amongst other things during vehicular registration. If there should be any payment, it should be the other way round, which is government paying Nigerians for the continued unworthiness of the roads despite tax collection and the abundant resources of the nation.


It is expedient for the regular update of our laws, for this reason I must commend every legislator championing strategic bills in their jurisdictions, personally I give special kudos to Hon. Anthony Elekeokwuri the legislator representing Ika North East my constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly for having introduced, co-sponsored and debated over 100 bills in four 4years of his tenure which started in 2015 of which some have already been signed into law.


To the youths, your time is now and the time for gerontocracy is up. I usually admonish fellow youths to stop calling themselves leaders of tomorrow, because we have to must convince our inner mind that we are the leaders of today and that people seem to prefer maintaining familiar political and economic structures of power therefore nobody will give us power on a platter of gold, we must wrestle for it within the democratic framework.

Currently, kleptocracts are replacing technocrats, our economy is still bereft of realistic blueprints and self-centered politicians have held the country politically hostage, privatized its instruments of power and personalized the usage of its resources.

The other panelists at the event raised alarm about the rising debt profile of the country


The Chief Legislative Officer Mr Abdul Quadri who traced the history of the legislature added that people should understand the limits of their legislators and should not take requests which is within the purview of the executive arm of government to the legislature.


Barr Desmond continued that to resolve our challenges, a people-centered constitution or the restructuring the present unpopular system is required. Our federalism must devolve more powers to the subordinate units of governments, because the present one being practiced is just a 'smokescreen'.
