Again, I will say u don't think well before writing. You are the kind that jump into conclusion without thinking. Lomomike said he would choose the murano over matrix. What he meant was if those are the only 2 cars available. But thank God he has lots of options to choose from, that is why he is driving an Infiniti which is a luxury brand of nissan .

Infiniti just like extera is a good car for nigerian roads that is why he is using it. Who wants to waste money, energy and time?

lomomike: dude don't misinterprete my description. I never described Matrix as better than Murano. As a matter of fact I prefer the Murano to the Matrix. Why should I be driving a joyless, unsatisfactory, bland, uninspiring vehicle that would only make my life boring and monotonous. I prefer the Murano save for its CVT issue (I can easily avoid MY2003 murano, and go for MY2010 Murano and smile in satisfaction) as a matter of fact I use a QX4 infiniti (upscale Nissan pathfinder). That should buttress my point.

Why going for infinity? Sell it and get a murano. From your description, majority of people in Nigeria will choose Toyota Matrix. But in a developed country like the US, Murano would be better because of good roads, good mechanics, good oils etc. Murano looks more beautiful than matrix but no be beauty we go chop. Why buy a car that is not meant for Nigeria?

You have just shown ur level of IQ with ur reply. A good sports analyst will tell u both sportsmen are not in the same league. And what makes u think I like messi or football in general that would make me ask God to make my son be like messi? What if I'm a tennis fan. Ur thinking faculty is really poor dude.

You are a pretender. You will prefer messi even if you are a tennis ball itself. Messi is by far more popular, more influential and more and more and more meciless in sports. In the worlds richest sports men, your djokovic is no where to be found.

elektra80:

abeg poster answer this simple question and we call it a day.

between djokovic and Lionel messi who is better?

A good sports analyst would give you the exact answer. Both might not all be footballers. But I will assure you that if your wife is to have a son and God asks you to choose whom you want your son to become in life, your answer would be Lionel Messi. Therefore, Messi is better. Bye.

elektra80:

will u still go for Toyota matrix if what u seek is power, comfort, better handling, size and high ground clearance? The poster just don't get it... This comparison is not fair and u never going to get a straight answer. If u ask anybody that knows about cars this kind of question, their answer is always going to start with .. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ... BLA BLA BLA. No straight answer like murano is better or matrix is better. So its only fair to compare cars that are of the same class, same or similar engine size, etc. One brand new tyre for murano go almost buy the 4 sets on the matrix. Haha which kind comparison be this?

You are contradicting your self. The two cars are incomparable and yet you are comparing them.

expert101: [size=8pt]I WILL GO FOR TOYOTA BECAUSE OF ITS RELIABILITY, RESALE VALUE AND FAIR MAINTENANCE COST.

You are a true expert. Thanks.

car-doctor:


My friend, use your brain. The heading of the topic on this thread does not show any semblece of intellect. You might as well have made it a comparism between an ostrich and a pidgeon.

Be more specific in what areas of interests that concern your query and avoid marking people's responses.
This is not a lecture room and nobody is here to sit your english exams. Enough said so please Don't turn this into an argument forum.

My friend, I think you should use your brain more. For your information, Nairaland is a lecture room. People are here to learn. I have learnt from lomomike. From his description, Matrix is beter than Murano in Nigerian roads and Murano does not have a second hand value. QED

elektra80:

Ikenna is right here. True nothing is incomparable but its only fair to compare things that are in the same class. Plus u are contradicting ur topic. Check ur topic again... U asked which is better, that is not a fair comparison at all. Abeg who is better, thiago Silva or neymar?

I asked "Pls, nissan murano and toyota matrix which one is better and reasons".When you are asked to say what is better between two things with reasons, you start by comparing the two by listing their differences, strengths, weaknesses etc. The one that has the better quality wins. Cheers.

lomomike: you want them paired together eh? That's ne'er a pro'lem bro. I'd certaily judge em fo'ya!

1. Economy: hell yea! Toyota takes it home. Its gơ̴͡t a 2.0l i4 engine in its hood. 3S-FE which is found in ancient relics such as '89 camry, 90-92 carina ii Gli, 97 carina e, 97 avensis. Murano gơ̴͡t a 3.5V6 VQ35DE found in top of the line products such as 01-03 QX4, 02-03 pathfinder,03 G35. But considering the size of the murano, its weight, pluse its build I hereby say the murano is efficient quite efficient. Cost of replacement parts we know nissan's parts are quite expensive, but cost of toyota parts are over inflated.
2. Reliability: hell damn it! Toyota grabs this. Toyota top build quality has it.Nissan's CVT gives nightmare when they go haywire. But to a great extent, I believe if you takce care of your murano and give it the needed attention, you have almost no palava.
3. Handling: dem be mate where that bland toyota stops na there nissan start. Even with its Awd Matrix still can quite match the AWD of nissan toyota matrix still cry foul while nissan makes its driver get a feeling that they are in a world flowing with honey and milk cream nissan is miles away, Its infact the Japanese BMW. I get this feeling of dearth of power when drivin a toyota, but when I drive a Nissan, there's always a smile of satisfaction cos of the ton of power and torque.
4. Comfort/luxury: who ever say toyota is luxurious is day dreaming very bland un-inspiring interior. Even in 2003, highlander still lags way behind when it comes to luxury.
5. Daily practically: Nissan takes this home. In Nigeria, we drivers have a nightmare = potholes. Nissan murano has a higher ground clearance to tackle this. Plus Its big and comfortable Meaning Mr. and Mrs. Ngozi can come with their kids Nkechi, Bola, Ayuba plus bingo their dog, their skateboards and more cargo than the Matrix can accomodate. When going to a beach or camping .
[size=15pt]In conclusion NEVER COMPARE A MATRIX WITH A MURANO they aren't in same class.[/size]

This is more reasonable answer. I give you 80% for this. It would have been 100% if not for your last sentence. No two things are incomparable. Thanks.

elektra80:

I think u are the one who knows nothing about modern cars. Check ur topic.... NISSAN MURANO AND TOYOTA MSTRIX, WHICH IS BETTER. You can only ask that question with cars of the same class. Just like when u asked Obama and Jonathan which is better. That is a fairer question because they are both presidents of a nation. Why don't u compare molue and BMW x6 because they are both automobiles

So, to compare two things of different features is now a crime in nairaland. Comparisms can even be made between cars and aeroplanes not to talk of between two cars of almost the same size.

Ikenna351:

3310 owner will only need to recharge his phone to make and receive calls, including text messages, but a Galaxy 3 owner will have to spend extra thousands every month to fully use the phone, aside the normal airtime refill. He needs to be doing daily, weekly or monthly internet subscription to be able to use the phone for what it was designed for.

But you have just compared nokia 3310 with samsung galaxy in contrary to what you initially said-- that they are incomparable. Comparing two things include both the similarities and differences between the two things been compared. I think the problem is more of poor understanding of the Use of English Language and Logic.

Where can I get coconut oil?

I am a Christian but this story does not look real but if it is real that means Boko Harams are not Muslims but a witchcraft society that use koran just like some witchcraft societies in the name of churches today.

If I ask Obama and Jonathan who is better? Someone may say Obama while some may say Jonathan. Then, the next thing is why is Obama better than Jonathan or vice versa? They are all head of states of different countries and continents. But they are still comparable. No two things in this world are incomparable. Someone even replied me some time ago when I asked this same question and said there was no car called Toyota Matrix and called me a joker. I need an expert answer not from some one who knows little or noting about modern cars.

Ikenna351:

You are still making the same mistake.

To judge both or compare (which one is better) doesnt add up. You can compare Toyota Matrix with Peugeot 307, but not with Peugeot 607 & Honda Accord. Is like comparing Kia Picanto with Benz S 600, simply because they are both cars. Haba!

Your question should be like "Tell me the cons and pros of Nissan Murano model xx & Toyota Matrix model xx". Shikena.

Ikenna

So this is what you will answer in exam when you are asked to compare 2 things that are used for the same purpose but with different features. Even if it is Nokia 3310 and Samsung galaxy, there is a similarity. They are phones. One has camera while the other has not. One is costlier than the other. One lasts longer than the other. And so on. The replys I am getting here are ridiculous and shows the poor level of understanding of simple use of English and logic.

lomomike: bro u failed to state the year of manufacture of each car. By the way, why would u wanna compare two different class of cars (matrix is a hatch and murano a crossover) what's your basis of comparism? Do u want them judged based on their utility/use, resale value, level of luxury, sport appeal, fuel MPG, ease of maintenance, build quality, class etc or what?

I want them judged in all ramifications. Both are cars and which one is a better car in terms of all the factors you have listed.

MY son is a post-graduate student of Agriculture in the second oldest university in Nigeria, a hot-bed of industrial action though, but nonetheless the most well-reported internationally. He came home shortly before ASUU embarked on its latest industrial action to say he was no longer going to continue his Master’s programme. Why? He said he was finding it difficult to cope with his supervisor who in his opinion does not seem to have time for him. Out of naivety he moved himself to another unit only to meet with the same brick wall and the consternation of his appointed supervisor to boot. So he thought since they were all the same, he could not see any way out except to quit, even though I had paid in full for the course and he was having his pocket-money regularly. He was extremely bitter.

I could not understand the situation until a few days later when the news came out that ASUU has embarked on yet another industrial action, this time on the non-payment of “earned allowances”. According to newspaper report especially The Guardian of July 2, 2013 quoting a high ranking ASUU official “earned allowances refer to what the teachers are entitled to for supervising post-graduate students’ theses and the excess workload entailed in attending to more students than the required number, in the course of their primary duties. According to the official, the non-payment of this allowance since 2009 is the reason university lecturers had been reluctant to take on post-graduate students or accept to supervise thesis at post-graduate level. In effect, give or take the human imperfection of my son, his observation of his supervisor’s reluctance to supervise his work may not be unconnected with the probable directive from the union to use that approach to drive home ASUU’s demand for the payment of this “earned allowance”, a subtle form of industrial action, which my son was not aware of but would be making himself a victim of by throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

What has continued to puzzle me is that parents, especially in the southern part of this country are ready to pay for the education and welfare of their children at all levels as evidenced by their acceptance of private schools and universities and the high fees they charge. Whenever there are moves by federal universities to build the cost of funding into the bill payable by parents, ASUU would say No and the students would join the chorus. So I ask ASUU what exactly do you want? Why are you not allowing whoever wants your commodity (Western style classroom education), to pay for it? In the Northern part of this country, this type of education is “Boko” and it is “Haram” (evil) not to be touched with a ten-foot pole, while in the South here it is “mai chau” (goodness) and we are ready to pay anything to have it. In all free enterprise nations like Nigeria, parents save money for the education of their children because we believe this is the only legacy we can bequeath to them, but then it is time-sensitive because conditions do change. A parent that is able today may not be able tomorrow, ditto for the child that could be ready today but could lose interest tomorrow.

In planned economies of socialist nations, they plan for and would train only the number of engineers, doctors, lawyers, architects and all others they would need annually, and even the number by which they would allow their population to increase. There is nothing like unemployment in those countries because the state would have made sure no one was idle even if it meant pegging the number of the children their citizens could have as being announced recently in Burma. It is not so in free enterprise economies like Nigeria. Here we can have as many wives and children as we want. We go to school because we want to not because the government compelled us to or indicated any need for it, neither would the government promise anyone a job upon graduation. I did Accountancy in my undergraduate and did not consult with any government or anyone else for that matter before I started it, neither was I expecting any job anywhere expect out of sheer luck and divine providence. What I wanted was education first and foremost and was ready and did pay for it every inch of the way by doing all the odd jobs like washing dishes in hotels, being guard, selling newspapers and driving taxi all to pay my way for my studies, while in the United States, ditto for my post-graduate. I was not doing all that because I knew I would get a job, No. No one promised me a job, and I was not sure I would get one or even be ready to work for anyone.

I wanted education to make my journey in life easier because everything on earth has been written and, to my mind if you cannot read them you are as good as dead because you would be literally blind, deaf and dumb. I look at the first degree as the primary school of education, a Master’s degree as the secondary level while the Ph.D. is the university level, the pinnacle. I tell my children that education should not be seen by them as a license to the paid-slavery status of the working class but for the independence of their minds to ease their journey through life. As a sage once said “Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave”. I believe that if I have education and decided to be selling groundnuts, the way I would sell mine would be different from the way an uneducated person would sell his. I could even make money from my ash while he could throw his away.

Every time ASUU says the government should find solution to the problems facing the nation, I wonder if their members knew that the society looks up to the university system and its products to do just that as its think-thank. The government is made up of its products and even a former ASUU member is heading it today, having succeeded another former member during whose tenure this contentious 2009 document was signed. Was this document a trap or why are the former ASUU members now in the position to implement its content not doing so? Why is ASUU and its former members now in the government holding the nation to ransom over a document the people knew nothing about?

To my mind ASUU is a major contributor to the declining university education standard in this country because it would not allow other stakeholders to participate in the funding. It would not allow willing parents to pay for the education of their children. Let’s face the facts, the government does not benefit directly or indirectly from university education, it is the educated individual that does because he/she gets paid directly for services rendered. I worked for 27 years for a private outfit and my salary comes directly to my pocket, not to the government. I spend it the way I liked not to the government, ditto for all employed people in and outside the government. The glory of any educational achievement goes directly to the individual (like all the Nobel laureates of this world) and then to the society. No one would call on the government of a country to come and collect a prize on behalf of its citizen. The winner collects the prize and uses it any way he wanted. The praise does not go to the government either.

Like all other parents in a free enterprise nation, I did not obtain a permit from the government before I started having my children neither did I before sending them to school. I did not seek the approval or guarantee of a job before enrolling them in the universities neither did they promise me one. If all these were done out of the volition of each and every one of us why should the government be blamed for the outcome when it was not a party to the decision. Governments do not create jobs; they rely on taxes and royalties from the private sector.

I implore ASUU to please leave the government and its civil servants out of the education and welfare of our children in federal universities. Build the cost into the fees and let scholarships from both the public and private sector take care of those that can’t afford it. I pray this would be the last strike by ASUU on this issue of funding. We have had enough of it.
