cheesy Me too! Resignation letter already saved. The pay is great but I can't come and kill myself.
Lol, I was a king in my former department, the pay was thrash, cld barely take care of me through a weekend, but my business was making Maybe 20 times my salary monthly or more so I wasn’t bothered cos it was A fun job n it gave me somewia 2 keep me busy cos my business was on semi autopilot and didn’t need me, then I was moved to another department/branch, pay was almost twice my previous salary but I became a slave, no job satisfaction, working on public holidays and weekend, 1 day off per week till we decided to increase our daily input so we cld afford ourselves 2 days off each, 8 - 9, no future in the job, it needed unskilled labor to get the job done but a learned idiot like me was doing the useless job, people that saw me as a king now looked at me like a bitćh, too many bosses over my head, there’s nothing I detest more than my job on earth currently.. wanted 2 submit my resignation letter yesterday but a colleague persuaded me to hold till he informs our topmost boss so it’s doesn’t take him by surprise, I hate my job

Lol, sorry for the long epistle, but anytime I remember I have a job, I hate myself the more n I go on talking abt it

But he's not using iPhone 11pro
He’s probably using a satellite phone that is probably 100 times more expensive than an iPhone 11 pro

Dangote could buy a toks Corolla sport of 1.9 that wld carry him from point a to point b, but I sure say him no dey use Corolla, he’ll probably buy a rolls Royce or Bentley or Bugatti or lambos

I'm sorry to say but that's just a lame reason for buying it. I'm 100% certain that Dangote, Otedola and even Bill Gate will never go for such irrational spending just cos they can afford it.
Their irrational spending can build a nation or wipe out poverty from probably some states in Nigeria

Check out their luxury houses, yatch, cars, expensive arts and decor, you go bow

They do these things because; they can afford it and not because it’s necessary


I met a guy once who bought iPhone 6 and blackberry Porsche as at the time it was released, two of the most expensive publicly sold phones as at then, the guy’s statement was, he always loved gadgets, and now he thanks God he could afford to go for the best... the guy was/is making cool money, owns a Nigerian restaurant abroad and some other businesses

When better money touch your hand rationalities would fly out the window

Manual tranny's are overrated. Apart from cost of maintenance, there is no discernible difference in performance these days. People go just dey get muscle pull and cramps anyhow for traffic.

Baba Smartchoiice I no wan quote you for the other thread - just breath in, out. And let everything go. Your knowledge on cars is what you ought to share more (I'm not trying to patronise you but I know it's vast), abeg let bygones be bygones.
Person no fit open any thread, no see your fights with either mainland or Island workshops.

As always, you na my personal person - and one of these days I go track you, make we sidon dey alright.
I no understand ohh, u quote me and smartchoiice for one post ni, u go allow am com catch me 4 thread where I jejely wan dey lowkey, he can wan drag pesin leg enter casala

You must create a balance name the shop or technician involved
Pls forgive me, I don’t think I’ll be doing that at all, I feel bad already that my statement drew so much attention, I b low key type of person, I don’t want more attention from this ohh...

I always walk away most times a job or stuff was not done in accordance with wat was planned, some may say it’s foolish but that’s me for you

You’ve been of great help through the time I used the Lexus in question, I hope you would too wen I get another car, that’s y quoted u asking abt c300 or Acura MDX, I know just enough I need to know abt cars but me no be engineer so I’ll somehow someday need ur help or any other techie’s help

This is not nice sir.
Boss look my statement well, I was making an assumption and asking a question, it’s only fair that there is an average to get a particular job done, because we know how things work in Nigeria, I’ve given someone a job to make a suit/coat for me far back, I was quite astonished when a suit job turned to 4 months plus

For house, I never do house project before sha, so my assertion might be wrong, I hear you pay based on how many blocks the pon pon carry or something like dat, if we were to base it on hourly, the pon pon guy mite do one fence for two years so his hourly rate would increase

No pun intended though, wen I wanted to fix anything in my car then, I always wanted the best because it was my daily driver, so I dint want to cut any journey half due to bad crap that went wrong but some prices cld actually be extreme

Dave5, I don't mind. We are completely transparent in our dealings. The only part I was a little miffed about was the manipulating hours. I would actually like you to post what we charged and what it was for.
Kk, like I said b4 I was not directly saying you’d manipulate hours but rather, my statement was me asking a “what if” a mechanic wants to build mansion on our head and stay put on a job to get more labor rates, it’s good to know there’s a standard time for fixing a part or getting a job done, so “if” any mechanic that charges hourly were to try anything funny, I cld take my stand n object

If you visited our shop, you would know that's not how it works. First off, estimate is showed to you for approval BEFORE repair starts not after so we don't bill based on how long it took the mechanic.

On the off chance you really did visit us and there was a misunderstanding, here is the thread explaining billing that has been on Nairaland since the beginning. Feel free to post your car model and the required repair and I will screenshot the charges here for all to see.

IS350 Engine is over 1 million Naira. Why not go for IS250 the engine is less than 200K.
I was using an is250, gave my mec to sell it cos it has come of age in my hand, so I want to switch to the benzo(always had crush on the c300, but not in any a Benz fan, I so much hate the gear lever being mounted on the steering component)

But with what I’m readin here, some comments on Benz dey scare me... wondering if I can enjoy for 4-5 years without issues asides normal maintenance

always loved Lexus from childhood but just want to experience something new
