PoliticsRe: Third Mainland Bridge: Lagos To Roll Out 600 Buses In August – Sanwo-Olu by DAVE5(m): 4:30am On Jul 26, 2020

This has to be a deadass move mr governor.

You ought to seek other alternative means of transportation not increasing the pressure on the roads with 600 buses.

This is not rocket science dumbo, your coconut head and pointing fingers won't let you think.

Look into water transportation with functioning gear, mono rails...etc.
I have come to realize that the governors and president know exactly what to do to make this country a safe haven but they purposely refused to do so because it doesn't serve their selfish interests, in fact it negates their selfish interests

I don't think this will solve the problem. More buses, more traffic on the existing roads.

But that's not the problem. The problem is Buhari who released Boko Haram members back into the communities of defenceless powerless citizens. I'm shocked by the news. It's worse than you think. He's not even pretending anymore. This is not even nepotism or tribalism, this is TERRORISM!
I couldn't agree more with your last paragraph

We are now forced to live with the same devils that devoured our lands without reason

Sorry about that
Obviously you’ve not been to that axis in a while.

The problem is coming from apapa as they don’t allow them on the bridge any more due to the ongoing work going on a part of the bridge inward apapa.

The Ministry of Works and Housing is doing too many things at the same time
You're very correct about me not taking that route for a while, prior to that day, I'd not ply ojuelegba for over 6 months

Meanwhile Eko bridge closed from the Alaka end for the past 4/5 months

Lagosians are rugged, we will get through this
That Eko bridge from alaka is a die

I wanted to swap my bad DStv decoder at their office and didn't know the entrance, so I drove through stadium not knowing i shld enter from adeniran ogunsanya, as I didn't see the office, I say make I kukuma go pass alaka take turn go back ojuelegba cos I couldn't turn under stadium bridge since I had driven past where I cld turn, I was at stadium to alaka from 3:30pm till 9:30pm that blessed day, I had already called home that I wasn't sure I would make it back before the curfew till we started begging tankers to move this way that way to allow some of us that could turn to ShopRite area pass ohh

I couldn't believe my eyes, talk more now that third mainland bridge has been closed, the traffic would enter Guinness book of record

Stadium to alaka took 6 hours, something that's barely 15minutes walk max, I tire for Lagos ohh

Is there hope for the common man in Nigeria,

Well yes there is when you buy what common man like us are selling.

Like this ========> profile
I hope you know "common men" in Nigeria can't afford that car, if you buy such car, you're seen as super rich ohh, meanwhile that is some over 10year old car and it's still seen as a car for the rich cos things have unnecessarily bad in this country, they don loot the country dry and price of all items have increased exponentially, charge 50naira for every 10k and above that enters our accounts, now they want to even add tax on rent meanwhile billions keeping missing everyday in this country, no infrastructure, I provide my own light, I drive on extremely bad roads that causes wear and tear on my car meanwhile the government triple tax me

At least Jonathan time, they looted but we didn't suffer this much, commodity was priced fairly even if they were a little expensive, we didn't pay this much taxes, 5% to 7.5%, 50naira per 10000 account deposit, the list goes on

My pads are due for replacement every 15months.I buy Toks complete hubs, brake disk,calipers and sensors with of course pads from Trinity at less than that price.And change everything whether good or bad.W203
Every 15months, ewwwwooooooo

My brake got worn out basically cos the brake fluid was leaking from underneath as a result of impact from something I don't know [fixed it though]



Toks complete hub
brake disk
Calipers
Sensors
And brake pad

All at less than 25k which you use for a 15months duration, wow, that's over cheap ohh if you asked me, this one shock me ohh, I wish that would be my story too ohh but I know/guess that's impossible for me

Mine is a non- 4matic

Saw a white Benz on nairaland, I went to check it out, fell in love with it at first sight, cos it had black roof which I think is all glass(can't confirm, but it looks cool) and very light brown interior (hate black interior cos with age they would look messy)

My dear mobil 1 is okay but as of the brake pad.. that is funny I read that ACDelco is the best but I don't know how much! I just give my mechanic money the last time I have him about 40k for alignment and brake changing ... So I don't know how much the brake is particularly also I learnt that ceramic brakes are better

Maybe the gurus in the house can assist us in the area of brake pad because that is the most crucial and also your driving style.... How is your driving style.... Do you place legs on brakes for long when an is moving etc... These are also factors to look into
My driving style!!!! Hmmnn

Run, match brake, run again, match brake, run run run

Lol

Then add the Lagos factor, legs on brake very often














Nah only for Lagos you fit use brake drive from your house go office then come back without actually matching throttle at all

Lol
AutosRe: Please Advise Me On Nigerian Used Audi by DAVE5(m):

Please I want to buy a Nigerian used Audi, is it advisable to buy it in terms of maintenance and cost. Please I need advice.
Bros I would tell you one thing, run from Nigerian used cars ohh, most Nigerians really deal with their cars, the cars are molested to the highest, bad roads molest the cars, the traffic jam molest the cars, danfo and other insane drivers molest the cars, friends and family molest the car

You fit buy naija used today, e go dey ok for one week, after that, the problems surface and then you would wish you bought tokumbo that your cash could avail you


If you no get enough as budget for toks, jejely keep ur money till e complete to buy the one wey u like, or go for a toks that ur cash can afford

I can say only one in 10 naija used cars are ok

Bros I repeat, run from naija used cars if you don't want to die before your time


I want to advice you again;

Run from naija used cars



Ok I'm very sorry for all I said but let me tell you again

Which kind brake pad be that ? And what type of oil! As a rule I have learnt to buy my oil... I hope y
The oil is not for my own car, someone was fixing his car with the mech I use

I use mobil 1, and as at when last I bought I got it for 21k each in two places

The break pad nah mech buy am himself so honestly I don't know which one he used, first time he changed was when I just bought it, so I heard noise from my tire and took it to him, he told me 25k for quality breaks but shaku shaku 15k for both front and back, but on trust from who referred me to him, I put the quality one and yesterday again, my breaks were totally worn out so he changed again, this is only the second time I'm buying Benz breaks and first Benz I'm using gan

So why I'm asking is cos he told someone else 15k for oil and the guy discovered in his search for another thing that same pill costs 7500

Ehen, 2 years is a long time, that means it's not that bad, I usually don't expect things such as supposed original car battery to last, I just have it at the back of my mind that I'll change it sooner or later

I change my breakpad today and my guy bill me 25k just for the breakpad alone, then adding his bill

Abeg how much dem dey sell breakpad cos someone else confirmed to me that same mech guy told him 15k for an oil which actually costs 7500 from other peeps in the market

Next time walk into a reputable outlet, get genuine Panasonic or renota battery. If you so desire you can get OEM Denso toyota or even Benz Star brand battery. These brands are very good and would easily do 5+ years.
