Take the 03 Corrolla. Here are tips to know a sound engine.

1- Let the engine idle for 40 min to 1 hour, Then go put your hand in the tail pipe, if you notice any greasy fluid, Run for your life.

2- listen to the engine when idling, if you hear any knocking sound, run for your life.

3- open the oil cap while the car is idling, if you see smoke from that hole, Run for your life.

4- Take your mechanic to inspect for leak underneath the engine, inspect the body of the car.

5- check the transmission oil, make sure its pink, if it's dark, run for your life, the previous owner is careless.

6- make sure the smoke from the tail pipe is never black, blue or white. It must be grey, Anything from grey, run for your life.

Follow all what i just wrote you then any other fixes is minor such as suspension system plus brakes system etc.

Not guru o, but Either one you choose, get someone trustworthy who knows those cars inside out to inspect, scan and test drive before you buy.

One can buy a faulty car sef, as long as one knows what the fault is and is ready to fix.




Buy the Tokunbo if they are the same price

Because:

1. Car wey dem use for Nigeria condition can never be the same as car used in foreign condition.


2. Toyota Corolla is very popular and prone to abuse by naija mechanics because those cars can continue moving from point A to B but with hidden problem that will later manifest into big expenses.


3. Nigerians are very fond of selling off cars that have serious expensive issues to unsuspecting victims.

Once you tell them Nigerian that your car has one big wahala, the next advice is to tell you to sell it.



Otherwise the Nigerian used must be much cheaper, so that in case you've bought wahala, you can use the money saved to fix.

The deputy governorship candidate of PPA and running mate to Chief Goody Ezeemo in the November 18, governorship election, Hon Nkwoka Stanley Atinga is with the state CID Awka.

The State CID is acting on a petition by chief Ezeemo who was the candidate of the PPA in the last governorship election, Akelicious learned.

According to a source, Ezeemo is demanding for the return of the campaign Siena bus that was giving to his running mate during the election.

The source told Akelicious that PPA realised about 200 million naira during the party's governorship campaign. The fund which was under the custody of the guber candidate has not been accounted for.

Hon Nkwoka is not the only member of PPA going through this harassment from their party guber candidate.

Many of the party chairmen were also arrested and forced to return the 1,000 naira given to them to lobby for votes at the day of the election.

This has caused many crisis in PPA and in the stakeholders meeting held at an undisclosed location at Awka, the leaders and all the LGA chairmen in PPA passed a resolution to expel Chief Ezeemo from the party.

Hon Nkwoka Atinga is a member of Akelicious. He decamped to APGA earlier this year, accusing Ezeemo to have ran their campaign like a personal business despite their individual contributions.

He is still at the State CID Awka and we appeal to the authorities to be fair and just in dealing with the matter.

As much as i love Naija and its people there are some things that really irritate me about the country and its the way they communicate with English language. Nigerians think that in other for them to express themselves in the English language, they have to uses flowery and superfluous words even when they know that a simple one would do. I came across this hillarious piece from the BBC that described this frustration i have with Nigerians and boy did it feel good to finally run into someone who shared my frustration with the Nigerian people. Enjoy hahahaha.


Letters from Africa: Nigeria's art of flowery language
In our series of letters from African journalists, novelist and writer Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani considers the art of Nigerian verbosity.

My friends in the international media are perplexed by the flowery language often used in press releases from Nigerian officials.
The pretentious diction, dying metaphors and padded sentences would make George Orwell somersault in his grave.

Take, for example, this paragraph from a press release by the Nigerian parliament:
"The seminar is aimed at making good the promise of the National Assembly that we are on the same page with the President Buhari led administration and in line with the legislative agenda, that there is a synergy between the National Assembly and the Presidency in the fight against corruption.
"It is to reaffirm the point that you cannot clap with one hand. It is our way of saying that there must be a legislative strength to back the anti-corruption stance of the present administration."

Here is another example, this time a paragraph from a Nigerian military press release:
"The Nigerian Army in synergy with other security agencies under its constitutional mandates... acted responsively in order to de-escalate the deteriorating security scenario in-situ.
"Instructively, the military and other security agencies exercised maximum restraints against the odds of provocative and inexplicable violence that were employed against them...
"It is rather inconceivable for any individual or group to have decided to inundate the general public with an anecdote of unverified narratives in order to discredit the Nigerian Army in the course of carrying out its constitutional duties despite the inexplicable premeditated and unprovoked attacks..."

Such long-winded passages can also be found in the local press, which commonly use expressions such as "the remains of the deceased have been deposited in the mortuary", "men of the underworld", "hoodlums" and "tantamount to insubordination".

Foreigners wonder why Nigerian government officials do not opt for simpler language.

Are they intentionally trying to confuse the public or to conceal information?

Well, these press releases are simply following an age-old Nigerian tradition of verbal ornamentation.

For us, important information has always been best conveyed with grandiloquence.
