Govt can import rice and sell it at subsidized rate to Nigerians for short term solution.

So it can be exported again to neighboring countries like our petrol?

It will take extremely loyal person or someone who is benefiting from what is happening that will still be loyal at this junction will find ourselves.
Tinubu should pls and pls open the borders for essential food stuff like rice to be imported to cuision the effect of high price of food items in the market. By so doing the price of other food will come down drastically.
He shouldn't listen to all the selfish people that call themselves economist that couldn't profound solution to our problems. The interest of the greedy few shouldn't override the interest of the majority.

I am BATified to the core!

The borders are open but it's more expensive to buy from Niger/Benin now than to do otherwise in Nigeria due to exchange rate difference.

Don't believe most of the things you read there. If you get the true story, it might just be because the guy refused to go off route without compensation or he held them down to confirm transfer or even refused to help them buy things in traffic.

Ending the subsidy was the biggest blunder Tinubu committed and floating Naira killed it all.

There's no government in the world that doesn't subsidize energy for their people inone way or the other.

And Nigerian government has in the past kept selling to Nigerians the fallacy that government has no business in doing business instead of them to cub corruption which is the bane of our problem but they kept a blind eyes because they're the biggest beneficiary of corruption.

Lawag3:


Do not insult, be mature in this conversation.

From your national stats you've guys have a large number of unemployment or unemployed youths. Why not give this jobs to them.

Although I think I have an answer to that question because a South African told me that your government prefers competence and qualification to familiarity of you get what I mean.

So if that's the case are there no qualified and competent South African.

Because the some SANS believe that the lack of job is caused by foreigners who are taking these jobs.

Time of witch-hunt have started. Was the man the cause of high cost of goods in the market. If all the good were brought out in the market to sale at the same time, what will happen in the subsequent months. Delusional government without sense of direction.

These people hoarding food were given incentives by the previous government, they did not just even sell at high prices but completely hoard the food to sell higher later or export.

Hi co-pilots
My Camry 2.4 Ac was not cooling last month and when ir was checked, we discovered there’s no gas in it. We decided to check where the leakage was coming from and after filling little gas, a leak sound was coming out from d compressor body. It was fixed that day which was on 7th of January. I didn’t drive d car since that day because I took it for general body repair (panel and painting)
I collected the car back on Sunday and find out the Ac is blowing heat again. I returned it on Monday and I was told that the gas has escaped because of not using the car for close to a month ( I had my doubt but) so we decided to just fill gas again and it was cooling at that moment but after driving for few minutes it stopped cooling again. It will cool few seconds and not cool again
I returned it again yesterday and d Ac guy start checking all over again. He told me that the leakage is from the evaporator which he will need to loose the dashboard to get to where the evaporator is.
Pls gurus in the house, pls what are my chances with this Ac guy and his decision to loose my dashboard.
I need the Ac for the hustle I’m using the car for.

Opening dashboard is normal for critical AC issues but how good is the person in question?

,,

I am not making excuses for him, I already stated it there, WHY DIDNT U GET THE CAR CHECKED before taking it in rentals?


He will protect his interests, So you are expected to protect yours as well.


It’s business not church charity. I think we all just get too desperate to get a car we say Yes to everything.



PS: I got most part of the car checked already, what needed fixing has been priced for fix before I signed

Na now you just talk better thing. I intended to take the car on HP but I know if i do rentals for a while, I will detect any issues with the car within that period but wetin dey vex me gan gan be say the moment I discovered all the issues with this car and tried to reason with this guy, he put me on conference with dealer saying the car no get any issue bla bla. This is something he knows nothing about, how can you be claim it's because of belt and servicing that i did that's what made car overheat. The guy no reason me at all.

Let me add that few days before I got his car, there's a corolla here that we got and returned the next day because it was acting up and it's strictly rentals that we want to do but this one there's an intent of HP hence the need to observe. If i didn't fix this guy's gasket before returning his car. I'm sure he would have been here raining fire and brimstone. His belief is that I caused every single problem the car has even bad battery and AC leakage.

Y1nka:
Initially, I ignored most of these post cos na money I dey find not trouble. But I currently drive that CIVIC so here’s my take.



1: about the contract:

I’m assuming the contract was given before the car, thus why sign or accept conditions that you know you were not comfortable with when it’s not under duress?

Desperation breeds ill feelings like this.

For example, DjDamian included some clause In the agreement that I wasn’t comfortable with such as:

a- inspection distance

b- written permission for out of lagos trip.

c- Price


I checked this agreement for days, spoke to my person then got back to him about these 3, and after about a week and so, HE compromised.

I’m not praising him for the compromise or acting tough , I am just pointing out that this is business not favour, you are partners, so if you find anything missing or not necessary at the beginning of the partnership, your inability to point it out takes out your claim of victimization.

You could easily turn it down, or give a counter offer or condition.

Ignorance is not an excuse.





2- About the car:

Before picking up the car, I paid my mechanic to help check the vehicle . With this I know what to expect and what not (at least some of it).

Going blindly cos I was in a small issue and needed a personal car is buying problem for myself free of charge.

I have to Agree with oga Northbird or so on this, it takes an inexperienced driver to burn a gasket , or experience driver in a life threatening situation (such as car overheating while robbery is going on or anything fatal). But if your car temperature is working, and you are not in a tough situation, YOU can never burn your gasket. You never experience be that.

Before you say I’m capping.
Been driving for just 11 years and some months (21 years and now 32) over 8 different vehicles owned in this period, I’ve dealt with over heating many times yet I HAVE never BURNT. A gasket.


This Civic did overheat third day I picked it up, while driving ikeja to Iju road to deliver a customer phone. After I saw 3 extra bars and AC started blowing air only,I parked and turned car off. Reserve low but not dry, (obviously spotted it early).


Cause :
One fan was only working and I was in the Iju ishaga traffic. This car temperature over worked.

what I DID: , I rented battery waited till temperature was down, delayed till past 10 when traffic was free, so I can drive in moderate speed and use air from grill to blow th radiator , start and drove home..

(If there had been traffic along the road, pull over, park. Wait till temp cools down and traffic move a bit, then join and continue to do so, till you’re safely home) You’ll be fine

MAIN SOLUTION: fuse controlling second fan burnt, only cost 5k to fix fuse plus workmanship .

But it could have cost me more if I was so carried away or way more inexperienced.

No car would burn a gasket in seconds, it takes hours, days or sometimes weeks.

Incase it was bad before u picked it, you may have known by temperature always being in middle or slightly higher by a bar.


Did few repairs yes, but nothing major ,GEAR isn’t faulty yet, but sometimes delays to get to high speed between 65-100km+ . Doesn’t affect the driving initially but I keep preparing his mind that it needs to be checked. It could something minor or major. Regardless I’m aware on time and let him know even though it’s HP. Not when it happens I give story. I personally advice you must have own a car before taking someone else’s, so u know what to expect and what not. Cos even if it’s your, you will do repairs, but it just shouldn’t be pocket draining .





Lastly the Man Damian himself

3- Personality :


In my language , Money spoils friendship (faster).
I’ve never had issue with the “dreaded evil Damian “ (at least since first week of January till now cos I take care of what could first damage us- Money).

Before taking the agreement,

I prepared

1- His payment for one month ahead

2- miscellaneous repairs of up to 150k in savings.

3- then his initial deposit as requested.


This is to keep an arms length so we could both AVOID any issue that may arise from things like this.

I wanted a different car (perhaps cheaper) so I can pay faster cos Uber is not looking profitable for me, I go to work, and not sure part time bolt / Uber can run this payment. He was willing to compromise both payment or car type .




In other words, Damian is not holy , we all are humans, OmoApena too is not a devil, e no easy to be consistent.


But the relationship didn’t deserve to get sour based on these flimsy stuffs. Every business requires u to manage people first, before money. I think the fall off is from pure mismanagement of both.

OmoApena before God bless you this way, remember he used someone. And You will still hire to other people as well. Don’t burn the bridge u crossed.


DjDamian, life is by turn, regardless of how people make you feel, we are different and life sometimes will not revolve around our expectations.

I hope u both can move on from this cos last last, na both of una God don bless.


Considering the bolded, do you assume I should have parked at Guiness where "those boys" were obviously waiting for targets?
So na overheating say make the car pulley no good?
Na overheating sef affect the battery, engine seat, AC leakage and alternator belts? I fuckkiing bought a brand new radiator for that car
You're not the one in the situation and may never understand. You also stated that it's better to own a car bla bla, the deal between me and Damian (the most greedy person to ever graced the planet earth) is not something you understand, you should stick to the one before you bro.
Anyways, have you had a rewire check the brainbox of the car you're driving? grin

I can't count how many times you have mentioned that you bought oil of #51,500 and hence u can't be negligent of checking your coolant levels. What is this #51,500 you keep mentioning? People buy expensive cars and it overheat while they are driving it. Some forget to cover their radiator cap well. Some even don't remember to cover the radiator at all. So stop mentioning #51,500 as a yardstick to being knowledgeable on how to maintain your car vitals. Mistakes happen to even billionaire car owners talk less of u that is on rentals. Na your kind no dey know when car dey overheat sef because u dey chase target.
