Not a Nigerian, I mean in Nigeria.
Videos from Nigeria are underpriced, the value on them is low, they have a limited reach, adverts cost on Nigerian contents are lower. So ur views are low, ur content is underpriced, adverts are cheaper on them, tell me how much will YouTube make from your video before they now share a little fraction of it for you that will reach a billion naira.
Guy, I am sure u know how YouTube calculates earnings go and verify before u waste your tears.
Wether as a Nigerian oh . . . while living in Nigeria oh . . . What you should realize is that there are always ways around most issues and limitations especially in the information technology space, the young man said he made N200 million totally from YouTube BUT you never asked how long he took to make such an amount and his journey to earning such an amount. You only looked at the total picture and using your own basic knowledge of YouTube decided to judge his hustle, which was wrong.

All you needed to possess is the right knowledge and you can be just like him shikena! The same with other willing ehailing drivers joining cheerfulgivers tutorial telegram channel to learn his techniques and know how he is able to make the kind of results he shows here from his hustle. Some people will rather quit driving or return their HP/rental vehicles than join this helpful channel only because of reasons best known to them but yet turn around to be moaning when he starts to post dashboards of up to a million naira in December grin

It’s simply witchcraft wink

I’m not supposed to say more than this because I’m spilling so much beans that the enlightened ones usually dish out for a fee wink hence I’d close my mouth on this YouTube chapter. If anyone likes to believe it’s possible or not then fine, go ahead but remember that the guy was arrested, searched forensically for months, taken to court for years and yet came out a free man (albeit damaged) without any convictions

This chronic ‘self limitation’ mentality that we as Africans have built into our psyche is one of the reasons why we are always going to remain stagnant in all the affairs of the world (except in corruption and insecurity)

A person says he makes money on YouTube, you say because as a Nigerian and our YouTube income is lower than most then he can’t possibly be making such an amount YET you don’t have first hand information about the specific YouTube channel he had that generated such funds for him, it’s niche, it’s subscribers, it’s hits/views, what country it was registered with etc.

Do you think people in Nigeria do not own foreign domiciled google accounts? As far back as 15 years ago I created a google account with a google voice number domiciled in the United States market for certain jobs and it works till today . If I’m doing anything with that account google still regards me as an American user and if I decided to monetize they will remunerate my works as an American domiciled account . Even on my palasa iPhone, I registered my apple account as an American and today all my newsletters, App Store recommendations, and payment services are done utilizing the American ecosystem, I pay for my apps in dollars (with gift cards) instead of naira and apple does not care if I’m in Nigeria or not. That’s the exact same concept I’m speaking of here. There are some applications people can download here in Nigeria that I can’t see on my own App Store to download because my phone isn’t tied to the Nigerian/African market inversely there are some apps on my phone that you will search for from now till next year on your own App Store but you will never find because your own market is tied to the Nigerian/African ecosystem.

Some people know or heard about this concept above but they could never tie it into this issue of YouTube monetization and how to circumvent the low pay that other countries like Nigeria have been punished with achieving.

It’s ignorance sad sheer, pure and undiluted IGNORANCE and it always turns around to bite you in the as*s at the worst time possible.

Do your research properly.

https://m.youtube.com/c/JudeBela/about

Do you honestly think this scanty channel with poor content made that much money?
I think you should go back and familiarize yourself with that young man’s story one more time. Try to comprehend the timelines involved with his trials with the efcc.

He had a prior google account which he ran from his undergrad years till when efcc started hounding him. That was the one that paid him. He worked hard on it for years and it only got shut down when efcc began their devilish nosing into his affairs.

This particular channel above in your link is the new channel he created after efcc spoilt the main one that he earned from and released him to go running about his court cases against them. As you can see he’s still trying to build it up.

Look at the stats of this his new channel, he created it in 2021 (last year) and he already has that much subscription, views and hits. Now what makes you think that if he’s given an additional 5 years to work on this same channel without harassment he can’t multiply his stats and gain some lost ground against what the efcc made him lose with his last destroyed channel?

That Nigeria isn’t allowed to use PayPal to withdraw money does not mean people in Nigeria do not withdraw money from their own PayPal accounts. That google does not allow Nigeria IP address hits to score as much as a foreign one does not mean people in Nigeria can’t own foreign domiciled google accounts and target foreign countries in advertising their content

All you need is a foreign address, phone number and bank account to register on the website and BAM you can do anything the American can do with the website/app without restrictions. All you need to do is target the right market. This same idea works with other apps and websites like google and co. Do you think everyone that works/codes on a computer does so locally? You think because I’m sitting down in Lagos and working on YouTube that google must know that I’m in Lagos and conform my entire work to the Nigerian market/viewing space? Ever heard of a tools like a basic Remote Desktop, an ssh client or even a basic vpn? So an American cannot travel down here to Nigeria, open his laptop and work on his YouTube channel because his earnings will take a dip due to his physical address changing?

My 2008 Acura MDX engine starts when I press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds. Then it has another remote/fob that performs the same function (starts and off the engine) when I press and hold the number 2 button; the button above the unlock button (picture attached). Can I engage the transmission and drive the box this way? I haven't tried it , just curious.
It’s called a remote start feature that is usually installed in vehicles to be used in very cold climates. It’s for starting and warming up the engine and interior of the car before the owner leaves the house and climbs into it to drive away.

You can’t drive the vehicle with the remote.

Got it at 197k miles. The maintenance history was 95%. Single owner who did a lot of interstate travel.

You should read the reviews from European owners. 350k miles on BMW diesel engines without any major part replacement is very common.

North Americans just don't have the temperament and skills to maintain BMW's .
I agree with the bolded above. They are the ones who give the most reviews online concerning that brand.

But if yours truly came from America I’d say you’re one lucky sonfabish to have it so pristine and with a history of just one owner.

There is no chain inside a Corolla or matrix oil pump...at least I have seen not less than 10 of them.
If the spring gets weak, it will fail,
if the hinges/bearing of the pump wabbles, it will break cos the crackshaft powering it is far more powerful, once the leg breaks the broken parts can break the body of the pump. From there engine is starved of oil and knocks if not put off immediately.

The only thing u will say is checking expiry date or service life of these parts and changing them as at when due. But mehnnnn there are a thousand parts in a car, doing that is suicide. We just wait for them to spoil or fail before we change. Or at Best buy a brand new car and sell it off at between 100,000 to 150,000miles.

Oil pump is mechanical and not something that will just pack up. Most run with a chain and it's job is to pump oil. So major damage to it comes from dirty oil or clogged up oil in your sump
That chain is the exact thing which the bad oil targets which finally destroys the oil pump along with the other things you listed.

Why are you hell bent on making it seem as if not changing oil from purchase is the cause of that engine knocking? Thousands of people ship in cars and drive them home without issues.

Car parts have specific mileage to cover (lifetime) before giving way. Parts like water pump, oil pump etc all have a set lifetime. Even new vehicles sometimes have their parts going bunkers upon purchase.

What if it was the timing belt that snapped? Would you still hold this opinion?
See bro, I am not ‘hell bent’ on anything, ultimately it’s your vehicle and you can do whatever you want to/with it so far as the resultant effects are to be borne squarely by you (it’s owner), that being said . . .

How can you say that because most Nigerians ship in vehicles and then proceed to start driving it from the port to wherever is a normal idea because thousands have been doing it without any issues? Don’t you see that I’m trying to sensitize you that it is an improper practice that needs to stop? Don’t you see that If 90% of people get away with it you could be the unlucky 10% one very good day? It is a bad practice period , wether you believe or not is not my business, I’m just stating a truth which can become bitter in an unfortunate person’s mouth someday.

Oil pumps, water pumps etc all have their specific lifetime guaranteed use (if properly maintained) which can be seen via a vin check before purchasing the said vehicle. If you buy a vehicle of 250k miles with the factory oil and water pump of course I’d be getting ready to change those components out asap before cruising unless I am looking to play ‘chicken’ with the vehicle thinking your resolve will be greater than the components affinity to finally give up the ghost.

If your timing belt snapped there are certain things that could cause it like oil or water getting in contact with the said belt while it’s in use or it’s being degraded due to not changed when due. Factory timing belts are sturdy and should last the stipulated life guaranteed of it. The only time I’d suspect the timing belt is if it was previously changed but with a non oem part. That will be like playing Russian roulette with your engine.

See I’m not fighting anyone here concerning these things were debating on, I’m just telling you what the oyibo’s do to keep their 15 - 20 year old vehicles still going strong enough to be sold and shipped to us here in Nigeria where we then use them for a few months and they begin to eat dust undecided

You bought a toks, you barely know the condition of the car. Few months you start having issues with the car regardless of using the right maintenance kits. Biko how is that your fault?
Forget about knowing the condition, the key part of your question was the bolded.

You bought a toks

Now this toks came at what mileage? Do you know that certain vehicles and engines have a specific range of mileage in which you can use them freely after which you must have to perform some manufacturer stipulated maintenance on either their drivetrain or suspension for those vehicles to keep on running hitch free?

If you buy a ‘toks’ of 95k miles on its odometer that was stipulated to have its timing belt changed at 100k miles and you decided to use it for 6 months without changing it to 115k miles and the factory timing belt breaks and damages your engine will you say it’s a factory defect? This is just one of numerous real life examples.

Now the second part of your question was

you barely know the condition of the car

My brother, how then do you know that the previous owner properly maintained that vehicle before you purchased it? If it was not maintained well isn’t it only natural that it breaks down in your possession? Especially if you didn’t know the specific components and systems to ‘refresh’ immediately after purchase since you had no history of its previous maintenance?

What you should have done;

Run a proper vin check before purchase

Read up on all stipulated vehicle manufacturer maintenance schedules and procedures and at what mileage they are to occur

Read up on reviews of common flaws concerning the said vehicle and if there were any factory recalls on that model you’re looking to purchase

These are the proper ways to source vehicle these days. The technology is here it’s how to use it that’s most peoples problems.

Top cylinder was dry, at first examination before we towed to d workshop.
Oil Indictator light didn't come up when ignition was turned to position 2.

At the workshop engine was opened and we discovered oil pump was broken and one piston was bent.
When vehicle was fixed, the oil indicator light still didn't come up when ignition was turned on.
From your description, Yes truly your oil pressure switch was shot but I’m wondering why you believe the oil pump just decided to pack up at that moment? Do you think the oil pump failing was connected to the faulty pressure switch? If the vehicle was not involved in an accident then it was daily driven until parked for sale/auction right?

It’s a fact that wrong/bad engine oil damages the cylinder walls, valve seals, piston rings and THE OIL PUMP of vehicles but I do admit that factory errors can occur but this usually happens on low mileage newer model vehicles especially before their warranty runs out. What year of matrix was this again?

I still say that it was a mistake not changing out the engine oil at the point of purchase/taking charge of that vehicle. Heaven knew how long it had sat in the crankcase before you fired it up and decided to drive it home.

Lolz...ur lap grin grin

I didn't change d oil and to dispel any suspicion about the cause of that engine failure.
The culprit was a failed engine oil pump and defective oil light switch.
So the engine oil light didn't indicate when the oil pump failed and stopped pumping oil to the engine. That is catastrophic at high speed.

Now, this is just one example of engine failure not being a result of bad oil or drivers negligence or owner postponing repairs.

Life just happened.
I understand your opinion on the issues that must have caused your engine in the newly purchased matrix to fail. How did you do a teardown and diagnosis to confirm that your engine failure was indeed due to the engine oil pressure switch and the oil pump? What were the steps you took with your mechanic to arrive at that specific conclusion?

Either you don't have enough experience or u aren't exposed enough cos these your concluding and sweeping statements are false.
I have seen Lexus RX 350 and Toyota Corolla engines knock with no sign no symptom. This is apart from my personal experience.
There are many ways or scenarios for a car engine to knock not necessarily having wrong oil or managing long present engine sound.
But did you change the oil in that matrix after you bought it and immediately before driving it off from the place of purchase?

If you say yes, I won’t argue but try to be honest, we are all here to learn from each other’s mistakes (which humans are naturally prone to)
