Ollyb2020:
Worst Decision I Made This Year?

Believing that doing the right thing would protect me

I trusted a man with his car under a hire agreement, When the engine died, I took it upon myself to fix it based on our written and verbal agreement,I borrowed money, took loans with my wife and mother-in-law’s help, I spent over 1.3 million to replace the engine all because I believed in keeping my word and did all in good faith, believing I would be refunded or allowed to recover the money from the job

The day the car got fixed was the day my life scattered the owner changed the story, secretly collected the vehicle from the dealer, and sold it without telling me. Up till now, he refused to give me a single naira from the money I invested

That single betrayal displaced my family
We lost our home
I’ve been moving from place to place
My wife is staying with her mother
I’m still repaying the debt every week, every month for a sacrifice I made in good faith

It hurts to realize a man can destroy your life simply because he has power and connections.
But even in all this, I’m still standing wounded but not finished

If this year taught me anything, it’s that having a good heart doesn’t mean people will treat you right but God sees everything

I pray 2026 brings healing, justice, and a fresh start for me and my family 🙏
wow! So touching from the deep. May God come quickly with releif for you

Let me tell you what's happening:

1. Your vehicle number plate has not been updated on FRSC portal. The fault is from the first people that did your registration. They supposed to upload it. It doesn't take time. Less than a month and it would reflect on FRSC portal.

2. The people that have been collecting money from you in Abuja to renew Lagos number for you have been scamming you.

Lagos and Abuja do not share the same system. Either you travel down to Lagos to do your registration or you send the papers to your license officer in Lagos to renew and way bill to you in Abuja.

The problem now is that for you to do the renewal, you will pay all the arrears from 2017 to date.
Our people are really terrible in the part of this world imagine, it doesn't cost anyone kobo to have told me this truth even after I have paid. I have bought this car actually from Abuja owner who relocated from Lagos since 2017

Lagos has its own system.
You are wasting your money doing renewal outside Lagos.
If that car enters Lagos you will be billed.
Go to Payvis to check it out.

Lagos is the only state that prints its own number plates.
You car registration is under Lagos state.
My guy lives in Ogun state he was billed as soon as he drove into Lagos.
Thanks man, i will do that

That is the issue right there, the second picture, on their database your plate by number isn't assigned to your vehicle, I just found out I have the same issue, my papers expire this month, I plan to go to their office by then, I don't want to jump to the conclusion that someone is getting the monies I've been paying while I have stamped receipts, if you have your receipts then you can prove it.

Can anyone explain why my vehicle licence renewal had not been recognised in the FRSC online system since 2017.
Im currently living in Abuja with Lagos registered plate number. This car has annually been undergoing vehicle licence and road worthy test in Abuja.
I just renewed my car papers July 10 2025 and I saw this, this Nigeria nawa o, See the attached for the shock of my life. Could this be that Abuja licence renewal does not recognise Lagos plate number and the system accepts my money for fraudulent service since their system seem not unified?

What can I do? I have registered and annually been paying CMR NPF and no red flag

Just make sure you go with a qualified mechanic for inspection who can check check engine running condition, confirming that the gearbox works perfectly fine and obviously carrying out a comprehensive scan on it he vehicle computer

Please guys, I just got a gs350 2007...it was misfiring on cylinder 6...I was getting 2 codes...p0206 and p0306...

I changed all spark plugs and it dint rectify...I moved the ignition coil and still got that same p0206 on cylinder 6...I finally serviced all 12 injectors...and discovered that one of the injectors at cylinder 6 had a loose wire....

I fixed the wire and the car is now very stable but now the new issue is that the injector on that cylinder is pouring excess fuel..and it is now affecting the starting of the car and a blue smoke now coming off the exhaust...I know it means burning oil too

So please I need a lexus mechanic in lagos...I stay at berger
Successful rate of servicing injector is 50/50, if you can afford complete new injector, try and give yourself peace of mind

I finally got the car and apparently the dealer didn't service te car so I probably need to do a complete servicing but I need a few clarifications, how regular should the transmission fluid be changed based on your experience? And do you have vendor you can recommend who sales the original fluid so i can get from the person

Last time I experienced this, I noticed my brake fluid was not gauge and immediately I topped it up with its OEM braking fluid, it wqs hard as stone smiley

Spend wisely,substandard or oem,it would still serve its purpose. To filter dirt and all sht....its a global issue,even ebay sells china copy. Tell your mechanic to open the oil sump and check the oil filter screen,that mesh look.
if i use this, my feeling would nothing less than a released prisoner who is directed to tour round an open space where land mines are planted that is capable of any time explosion.

Ford users, please whats your experience on Ford Explorer sport 2013 with ecoboost, I about to pay for it but someone said its expensive to maintain. I need it for my daily commute to work(blue collar job.
Explorer is a huge SUV with maximum comfort, you will not spend unreasonable maintenance cost if you keep to manufacturer guide.
Howver, make sure you test drive the car to be sure the gear selection is perfect, check to be sure engine is in good condition without oil spill. Drive and speed up to 120kmh to be sure no vibration or shaking. Test braking system to be sure your ABS is OK.

Finally, ask the seller to tell you car repair history. Don't forget to ask when last he did oil change and transmission fluid change so u can be guided even though your car computer have the oil intelligent warming required change.

People can plant exhibit around you if they mean you. I heard a story that shocked me from someone who implicated another family with someone corpse so as to frame him a ritualist, but the man to be accused was lucky according to the story how he woke up to find funny traces and he quickly smelled evil and he probed further to discover a buried corpse from no where, and he quickly removed it. Early that morning, police came to the same spot searching for the same exhibit but they found none. Things happens bro, don't pray to have enemy who is hell bent to destroy you.
