Op you’re asking for help to find someone who’s not a celebrity.

No name. No age. No height. No location. No last seen date and time etc

That was how I and my friend went to drink at a beer parlor one day and at a nearby table two other guys in their mid 30’s were discussing loudly. One was yabbing his friend about his single status etc saying he should have gotten married and children by his age etc. that without kids he isn’t a real man. That children are the legacy a man can ever have before his death etc the discussion was so funny I had to chip in.

I asked the married one that (heaven forbid) what if his friend married a wrong woman to live with him unhappily for years and couldn’t escape without divorce? What if he marries a good woman but he gives birth to a child that was a spawn of devil who committed atrocities, always had police problems and drags the family name in the mud at every opportunity? What if their kid was an slowpoke? What of those parents who raised and trained their kid till nysc level only for untimely death to snatch the child away at that moment? Would all these unfortunate happenings make your friend to become ‘less than a man or a man without a legacy’?

The married one continued defending himself saying that a child is a must before he can regard any guy as a man. That if a guy didn’t have a kid to feed that he would not respect such a man etc. I then asked him one last question...

I told him I have a nephew who is 17 years old in secondary school still under his parents but unfortunately got a girl pregnant and she gave birth to a kid. Now that kid is 2 years old and lives with the mom and her family but on some occasions they bring the kid to visit the fathers family. If you see the kid he’s a replica of the father from head to toe. I asked him that according to what he’s telling his friend he will consider that young guy as a real man and relegate his friend to a lesser man just because the teenager was able to have an erection and have sex without protection at a certain time in his life?

The guy was just staring at me lol

I told him good legacies are not always kids because kids can make or mar you. Some devilish kids even kill their parents knowingly or otherwise. Legacies are things which a man does and he is remembered for like inventing or creating new and revolutionary stuff, doing positive humanitarian works, living a wholesome life that everyone can see and commend.

Let’s face it a bad marriage or kid can ruin a mans life. For example if mark zuckerberg on Facebook had a bad kid and he later passes away the child can run the Facebook empire into the ground just a few years later. Or if I as a father had a terrible son he could go into my files and take my C of O to a landed property and sell it off for peanuts at my back for whatever reason he likes.

Marriage is not a do or die affair. Kids are not proper legacies of a man. Michael Jackson was the greatest musician of our century who was married and has kids but today nobody remembers his wife nor kids for anything except blowing his cash

Micheal Jackson’s legacy will live on but apparently not in his wife, kids or through his marriage.

Conner44 I sight u for Oil Not Showing On Dip Stick

Yes oh. It’s a serious duty to school both oil users and oil sellers on Nairaland every once in a while

DeadCountry:
Cattle rearers? Tufiakwa!! Abomination.
Cattle Ranchers? YES!!!

Just sit and wait and see how Igbos will take over cow business before the 6 months deadline. Billions of dollars/naira business opportunity. It is estimated that over 90,000 cows are sold and slaughtered for domestic consumption and consumption during several ceremonies in Igboland every week. Multiply 90,000 by 4 weeks which is one month, you will get 360,000 cows per month. Multiply it by 12 months and you will get 4,320.000.00 cows per year are sold and slaughtered for consumption in the whole of Igboland.

This number multiply by an average of N100,000 per cow will be, four hundred and thirty billion nairas per year. N432,000.000.000. You don't know the spirit of Igboman when he sees a business opportunity. Let us see who will cry later. You can't come into our land with your cows to destroy our farmlands, rape our women and meme and kill our people and expect us to keep quiet, do you?

The day that Fulanis force igbos to start ranching cows for meat, milk and hide will be the beginning of the end of their legacy as a tribe in Africa.

What is there to learn in haggling?

Don’t worry. By the time you carry 100k to market to buy clothes and return with only one jeans and tee shirt you’d understand the value of potent haggling.

CheerfulGiver:
Nwanne!!!!

There can never be peace without war... Revolutions are not peaceful.

I'm making money and kicking ass.

And taking names

mejai:
[s]Mynd44, please, come and sanitize this thread. But don't close it.[/s]

Sanitize what? Is there anything you want to keep hidden on this tread?

Abeggi lets leave dirty pants to keep hanging in the wind jor. If you want to spread your own too you can go ahead if not just stay out of it

19 people butchered In sokoto state. Human beings killed like animals.

Yet you wouldn’t see one Nigeria “igbos are destroying their land” crooners on this thread lie lie. It’s their people being killed yet they don’t care.

Terrorists all of them

Ol boy see giant map. Ipob dey learn work where these ijaw people dey abeg.

See as their map cover every every

DubaiLandLord2:
Even though I know this is a fake news, if there is a time we get to this low as a country, you will be shock each Geopolitical will have people from their regions importing and selling spare parts.

While you Igbos will be importing and transporting your spare parts to be sold in the South East, Hausas go also import their own spare parts to be sold in the NW.

Amen at the bolded. But what are you guys waiting for to start importing these spare parts? Are you waiting for igbos to leave their shops and Nigeria for you first or for them to get tired of the business before you and your people start learning how to sell it?

Wise people say that a stitch in time saves nine.

Reflect7:
Small boy typing rubbish. The point was that if the citizens of those countries can live without Igbo spare parts dealers, what makes you think northern Nigerians can't?

And you must be pretty thick describing any group of people as ''slow learners''.

Indomie generation goat with no brain.

But the bolded statement is true historically speaking. Why vexing? Is it because the truth is usually bitter? Drink water mixed with honey and swallow it.

Northerners are the slowest in learning academically in Nigeria till today hence the need for a quota system where others write an exam and score 90% and a northerner writes the same exam and scores 5% but the Northerner gets admission on merit first before the others lol

Don’t worry I understand your pain. If I were you I’d also feel ashamed on behalf of my people too.

DubaiLandLord2:
Is it only igbo men that are selling spare parts all over West Africa? Or is only igbos that are meant to sell spare parts?

Meanwhile we are debating about spare part sellers in Nigeria and not west Africa as a whole. Must Northerners call their smaller brothers from other muslim countries to help them dominate their fellow countrymen like apc and buhari did by opening northern borders for bandits and marauders to come in and soak the dog and baboon in blood?

Reflect7:
What a dumb thing to say.

So who provides spare parts in nations like Niger, Chad, South Sudan, Sudan, Mali, Mauritania etc?

You think only Igbos know how to board a plane to buy products in China?

Olodo.

Mugu why calling people from other countries? Why not call Hausas from gombe. Zamfara. Kano. Jigawa etc lol.

Everyone knows Northerners from Nigeria are slow learners even you yourself. That’s why you were so quick to start importing your brothers from the other Sahel countries to help make your point and instead ended up shooting your balls off.

DubaiLandLord2:
Why are you not sure they are not ready to travel to China and Japan?

Simple. Because they would have started traveling there since or followed igbos to do ‘boy-boy’ in their shops to at least learn the business first before diving head first into it.

Me I am tired .... I give up ........i am showing you the official manual from Toyota .. You can easily download it online.......
I than show other official manuals from different cars .. One manual shows more weight option .which included 20w50....

Bro .. I tire

Wetin make you tire? Why won’t you tire when you’re running around in circles chasing your tail?

You posted oil recommendations for a 2003 Toyota Camry meant to be used in USA.

Gazzuzz posted oil recommendations for a 2003 Toyota Camry meant to be used in Nigeria.

Both manuals are officially from Toyota motor company.

What is so hard to understand in such simple details as shown above?

valarinz:
You really are still not getting it. You're of the assumption this bro is arguing with you for sakes of knowledge exchange or whatever, lol.

Nigga probably has a stockpile of oil to sell and is trying so hard to get his sales, do you expect him to give you the green lights for 20W50? Who will now buy his oils.

Just leave the guy and rest, the whole brouhaha on this thread was about his morals anyways, the issue of selling defective cars in a deceitful manner, he's the one trying so hard to divert the narrative to a place he's better placed to rant.... Don't fall for it

my brother dru matter tie wrapper I swear.

Reflect7:
Small boy talking rubbish. Hausa-Fulanis are traders and many deal in spare parts already. Travel around the country and quit being a dunce.

I am not doubting that Hausas sell spare parts. All I’m trying to say is that if there are 100 spare part sellers in Kano state 95 will be igbos and 5 will be Hausas

Kyase:
you have never been yo Kano or kaduna right? Especially Kano
Don’t be ignorant
The Hausa people do business more than the Igbos, the only difference is that, they don’t go to another persons land to establish like the Igbo people
They are more like “ local champions”

Yes I know a few Hausa will join in selling specific goods and services the igbos do but can never be the majority.

Just like the majority of spare part sellers in the north are igbos and the majority of bureau de change operators in the south are Hausas.

But the reality is that igbos travel outside the country to import the parts to be sold all over the country so Hausas in the north want to sell theirs they would still have to buy from the Igbo importers and resell.

I’m not sure Hausas are ready to start traveling to China and Japan to be importing spare part yet

Reflect7:
I can only imagine Igbos turning to cattle rearers...lol..comedy.

Face it bro. Hausa Fulanis selling spare parts will still be funnier than igbos ranching cows in their backyards lol

Oh or did you think igbos will be wandering upandan the country escorting cows into people’s farms?

I can only imagine Hausa Fulanis selling motor spare parts lol comedy

dru23:
Below is the actual owners manual for 2003 camry.. U go online and kindly download it...........

That’s the manual for the Camry vehicles made to be driven specifically in yankee hence that particular grade of oil for all seasons use over there.

The owners manual of that same year of Camry vehicle made to be driven in Nigeria has the exact same image as Gazzuzz posted above.

So you see that our climates are different and the manufacturers have duly taken note of this fact while factoring fluid ad maintenance recommendations in their manuals.

I agree that 5w30 fully synthetic is good for yankee cars but I don’t think you should label 20w50 conventional oil bad for Nigerian vehicles.

I showed you pictures of various 20w50 synthetic oils above and told you to ask people who race or ride bikes over there and they would show you where they sell it in your neighborhood.

Dru23 what we are trying to say to you is that yankee and Nigerian weather is different.

Pistons and bearing clearance/ tolerance as well as weather temperatures are things manufacturers put into consideration while recommending oils for their modern engines but for vehicles made before the year 2010 its mainly about temperature.

gazzuzz dropped this image below culled from the owners manual of a 2003-2006 Toyota Camry. Did you look at it at all before arguing?

The red line is our usual weather temperature range here in Nigeria and the blue signifies that which is seen in yankee.

according to that image, isn’t the manufacturer implying that the use of 20w50 engine oil in their engine is suitable for your yankee states like Texas. Arizona. Florida etc?

Cheerful has scattered everywhere and matched everybody’s head in this season of violence

exposing the hidden and opening the closed eyes still giving me hope in pissing on my boss’s bald head

Odogwu! ahead - ahead

3kay945:
I like this your mature response.

Don’t mind the cokadolt. Till today he is still driving in his hot car wasting money looking for his gas leakage.

175 killed under how many months? Meanwhile that’s just one week bandits/boko haram killing quota in kaduna alone

Buckeyemedia1:
See the level you have dragged your intelligence, why not Lagos State, or Ogun State as a comparison, why Kaduna State?

You this Nairaland terrorist. What state do you prefer i compare it to? Is it Plateau state? Borno? Benue state? Zamfara? Gombe? Taraba?

Or aren’t human beings the ones dying in these states too? Hypocrisy is calling for a state of emergency in Anambra while being blind to the plight of those unfortunate to be dying anyhow in these other states.

mammanbawa:
To read is one thing, to understand is a completely different thing. You dear sir are an irredeemable olodo

My brother dru wahala tire everybody

Dru23 so you’re trying to tell us you’ve never seen any of these oils in your yankee before abi

More

dru23:
Why did your dad wait till it is out of warranty to start using 20w50.......

20w50 is for old engines my brother.. It is very hard to see it here in Yankee.. It is not commonly sold here.....

For any major damage to occurred .. You said your dad bought the car brand new since 2005. He has been using 20w50 etc.. How often does he drive the car? Does he do up to 12k miles a year.. With Lagos traffic like New York and over crowding all over the place. How often does he drive the car for any damage to really occurred.. I doubt it that much...

Some cars will have head gasket issue . you might not know. But the more you drive it the more the problem will eventually come to surface ............

20w50 is not a common oil here in the states. You really have to go find it .. It is not commonly sold here. Modern engine have tighter clearance and 20w50 will be too thick for such

Yankee has at least 3 months of winter and Nigeria does not hence Mobil XHP 20w50 conventional oil can be used by vehicles here safely so far as it’s not in a modern engine (some 2010 and above). Over here Vehicle fluids don’t freeze up solid unlike over there that’s why our coolants don’t have anti freeze in them.

During service with a dealership they usually use oils from drums to service their customers vehicles. I am certain that the company servicing my dads car at the time used 20w50 drum oil on his engine from the get go. Remember this was a car bought brand new and made specifically to be used in our climate. That engine has a total of 170,000kms on its odometer today and I am dead certain that 99% of that mileage was done with Mobil XHP 20w50 conventional oil changes twice a year. If we wanted to do once a year oil changes we’d switch to Mobil1 20w50 fully synthetic oil or it’s equivalent.

For you to be saying that you can’t find 20w50 weight oil over there means you’ve never gone out in search of it for any particular reason before. Ask your neighbors who race their cars or ride sports/power bikes and they’d direct you to where you can buy them.

If you could import fully synthetic 20w50 oils to Nigeria and sensitize people that they can use it for changes just once a year or every 6 months I bet you will make triple sales because normally it’s cheaper to buy, withstands shearing/breakdown better than other lighter weight oils and it’s full synthetic too with anti sludge detergent additives as a bonus.

A majority of Nigerians will patronize you if you stocked any of the oils below (including my dad)
