Politics › Re: An Open Letter To Anambra Voters. by Divinetouch(m): 10:30am On Nov 02, 2013 |
davidugotex: FELLOW ANAMBRARIANS For how long should we continue to allow Mr Peter Obi put enmity between us in a bid to achieve his Selfish desires? In the last guber election, he employed religious politics- Catholics against Protestant. Now that it is obvious that that approach is becoming unpopular, he has introduced the bigotry of zoning. Must he always instigate Anambra people against one another in a bid to have his selfish way?
Is it not on record that Anambra North whom Peter Obi claims to be politically marginalized has produced the First and only President of Nigeria from the South-East zone in the person of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe? Is it not also on record that since the return of democracy in 1999, the only Senate President Anambra State has produced is from the zone in the person of Rt Hon. Chuba Okadigbo? Have we also forgotten that the late Ukpabi Asika who was the governor of the whole Eastern States was also from Anambra North? My people I ask, how is a zone that has produced these notable leaders marginalized?
In terms of infrastructure, the biggest market in West Africa- Main Market Onitsha, is it not cited in Anambra North? The Refinery that is being built in Anambra State by Orient Petroleum Ltd, please is it not cited in Anambra North? I ask again, how is Anambra North marginalized? Anambra State airport which was previously proposed to be built in Oba was later zoned to Anambra North by the government of Peter Obi; how are they marginalized? Let somebody explain to me how a zone that has the largest market in West Africa, the only refinery in the State, and the proposed cargo airport marginalized
Many of us followed the just concluded debates organized for all the governorship aspirants in the State, both the one organized by Silverbird Television and the one by AIT. We saw how Peter Obi's stooge- Willie Obiano was clueless as to how he plans to govern Anambra State; we also saw how he was reading out everything from a note handed over to him by Peter Obi even when the moderator of the debate made it clear at the beginning that no candidate should speak from a prepared note. We have also heard Obiano dwell so much on enlisting the support of Donor Agencies, in fact, there is never a project he planned to embark on without the mention of Donor Agencies, again I ask, When has Anambra State become beggars that we can no longer generate resources to tackle our own problems? What if those "Father Christmas" agencies disappoint him, so his government will achieve nothing?
My people, let us together sweep away those who want to enthrone mediocrity and bigotry in our State, and vote for those who have the vision, the road map, the courage, and the charisma to give us good governance that we desire. -David Onyebuchi well spoken. |

Hebunn: @OP, your handling of the whole issue was immature. I ain't gonna condemn anyone here, who am I to do that. But the truth is every man's got a weakness and lemme remind u dat d man of God didn't fall from heaven, he's human. So don't bring him and his ministry down just because u feel u were battered or molested. A sin is a sin before God and a lair is as guilty as a murderer. You were both guilty, so ask God for forgiveness, and maintain a reasonable distance from anything dat might remind you of him or his ministry, and move on wit ur life. May I remind u dat GOD might not abandon his plan and purpose in the life and ministry of d said pastor just because u want to free ur conscience. Life goes on, so move on. We're all sinners, only HIS mercies keeps us. I bet there are some element of sense in my post. My one cent. d Pastor is very far from salvation. he didnt fall into sin rather he planned for it. |

Car Talk › Re: Nigerians Dont Care About High Mileage? - Is It True by Divinetouch(m): 10:29pm On Jul 26, 2013 |
BizBooks: In this Twitter age of 140 characters or less, most people (including myself) find it very difficult to read long posts such as this. So if you do not have the time to read this, here’s a summary:
1. Many Nigerian car dealers import cars with very high mileage since they are cheaper. 2. Some will not tell you that the car has very high mileage. Rather they will reduce it drastically. 3. Do not trust the mileage of any tokunbo car you intend to buy in Nigeria. Verify the mileage yourself via VIN check.
Here in the US, the conventional wisdom is that Nigerians don’t care about high mileage. I have heard this from American car dealers numerous times. On one occasion, I was negotiating price with a car dealer in New York. When I complained that the car has a very high mileage, he asked where I was shipping it to. I replied “Nigeria” and he promptly said: “Don’t worry. Nigerians don’t care about high mileage”. I have had similar encounters with dealers in Chicago, Florida among others.
Now, the question is: could it be true that Nigerians don’t care about high mileage? The answer is obviously no. Nigerians care about high mileage just as much as anybody else. But then, how did Americans get the impression that we do not care about high mileage? The answer lies in Nigerians that buy cars from the US for sale in Nigeria. They definitely do not care about high mileage. In fact they seek such cars because they are much cheaper. That’s where Americans got the impression that we do not care about high mileage.
At auctions, whenever a car with very high mileage (say 200,000 and above) comes up, the Americans usually stand back. Nigerian dealers in attendance will then take over the bidding especially if it is a Toyota or Honda product. I have seen Nigerian dealers buy cars with 300,000 miles or more.
Now here comes my main reason for starting this thread. Since it has been established that Nigerian car dealers regularly import cars with 200 or 300,000 miles, why is it that one never sees a car for sale with 200,000 miles here and elsewhere in Nigeria? The answer is simple. Once that car with 300,000 miles gets to Lagos, the mileage magically turns to 120,000 or less. That’s why you frequently see 1999 Toyota Camrys with 100,000 miles or thereabout for sale in Nigeria.
The point I’m trying to make here is one I have made several times in the past. Do not trust the mileage of any tokunbo car you see in Nigeria especially if it is an older model car. You can only trust the mileage after you have independently done a VIN check and verified that the stated mileage is indeed correct.
The practice of reducing the mileage on a car commonly known as odometer rollback is illegal in the US. Doing so can land one in prison. Before selling a car to somebody, you have to provide them with a form called Odometer Disclosure Form. On that form you will indicate the car’s mileage and sign and swear under penalty of perjury that it is correct. I assume that under the law, it is also illegal to roll back a car’s odometer in Nigeria. But since that law is not enforced, nobody pays much attention to it. As a result, odometer rollback is rampant in Nigeria.
Unfortunately, apart from running a VIN check, there is no scientific way of knowing if a car’s odometer has been rolled back (as far as I know). A good rule of thumb is to multiply the car’s age by 15,000 (some experts like Siena say 12,000. But let’s use 15,000 since the US is very big in land mass). So for instance to roughly estimate the mileage of a 2000 model car, do the following:
13 (age of a 2000 model car) multiply by 15,000 = 195,000 miles (give or take a few thousand).
Suffice it to say that this formula is not scientific. Use it as a general guide. If you discover that the car’s mileage is much lower than the result of this formula, be cautious.
Disclosure: I also buy cars with very high mileage at auction. In fact, I have bought a car with 180,000 miles, another with 190,000 miles and yet another with 208,000 miles. However, I instructed my business partners back in Lagos never to reduce the mileage on my cars. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that they adhere to this instruction since I am not in Lagos. So treat every car’s mileage including mine with utmost suspicion. please what's d advantage or disadvantage of high or low mileage cars ? pls someone should educate me |
