Family matter and that is their own problem. If they respect elders decisions in their family, things will not be like this. Money cannot buy wisdom of elders
Elders are even part of the problem

Imagine locking up ur brother because of money.

That's the most advanced form of madness.

And these are role models?


These are the worst set of criminals.


Lock up ur own blood because of money?

Big shame. The people supporting this have mental issues
If my blood stole from me , I will let him face the law just like anyone else.. we need to do better as a country and as a people...
Since we can't hold ourselves accountable, how do we expect to hold our leaders accountable..... Situation like this is why people don't want to help family members..

This boy shouldn’t have locked up his elder brother for stealing from him nah. Na your brother steal your money, if he no steal from you, shey make he go steal from outside ni?
You are one of the many reasons that naija is what it is today. Situation like this is why people doing business with family or helping family is very dangerous....

Am sure if their mother was alive she would have said exactly what you said... Very sad and no accountability at all . This is why Nigerians deserve the leadership they get

My only main concern here is the true condition of the vehicle.....


A 2010 is very ok for Uber, since you will be the only driver that will be driving it for Uber.. it is more than super ok ...

I don't think you will drive the car to the point that it will be deterimetal to your well-being or the car. But again for naija only few a normal .... The only issue is your maintenance culture and how good it is...


I use to invest in Uber in the early days.. so am speaking from experience.. 2010 Toyota Corolla is more than ok for Uber

[quote author=Djdamian post=135038069]Seems you are mixing up Ajibaiye and dreezy007 situation.

The former is in pondering if his Corolla 2010 model is ideal for the hustle and also his situation with his friend. The latter is willing to buy a vehicle but he wants a reliable one within 4-5m range and he is opting for Honda civic.

Note, not all Nigerian used vehicles are DOA I[b] take care of my vehicles just like I take care of my wife. [/b]

Baba we are still waiting for the container to clear. It was supposed to come out Thursday, keeping my fingers crossed hopefully next week , we can start selling.

Since 5w20 has very low demand,I don't think I brought any in for this container. 5w30 and 0w20

Good day my people, I just purchased a Toyota Corolla 2010 model for the purpose of InDrive/Bolt/Uber purposes. I want to drive it myself because am not okay with the comment about giving it out to.

Please am open to an advise on below.

Best time to start and close ( I am always free )
How often should i change the engine oil? ( when using everyday )
My driver Licence is not ready but i have a friend who has, can I use his info to register while I drive the vehicle?

Please advise me! I am open to it. Also tell me anything I might have forgot to ask.
I hope the car is tokunbo. If the car is tokunbo than you are in the best position now to pamper the car. Especially since you be the only driver.......


For the oil specifications, factory recommends 0w20.. using the factory recommended oil will help you burn less fuel .....

The engine oil brand of choice is Mobil 1 , fake full plenty pass original. But am your plug for original Mobil 1 .... You can do oil change every 7k miles or 11600km or every six months whichever comes first...


Using the wrong oil will lead to this (pic1)



And using the factory recommended oil and original Mobil 1 will lead to this (Pic 2)

Most people won't trust someone that just finished doing apprentice to repair their car.. that's how it is in Nigeria sir

To be a successful mechanic in Nigeria, you need connections.. ask anybody sir


Barbing is a nice skill. I want to start salary work so that I can save money by June. From June to December, I'll be perfect in it.

Then, january I'll travel to Lagos, if Lagos do somehow, I'll leave for Ghana. smiley
I disagree.... As long as we have car owners that lack basic mantaince culture, the need for mechanics will always continue to be in high demand

You get it.
I change tyres every 10,000 miles.
I still have extra set of tyres, waiting for the rear tyres to go bad.

I spend 85k for 5w20 synthetic and 10k for Bosch oil filter that will last me 15,000 miles.

I spend with pride on my sedan cos I know what it generates.

My SUV Sits at home year in and out. Only goes out for offline. Yet I dont spend on it like my daily driver sedan. (Mind you, it generated 600k in January alone at zero maintenance).

If you are making over 1M monthly, spending less than 200k on your car shouldn't bulge you.
I will advise to use 5w30 instead of 5w20. Since the car is under more wear and tear due to using it for Uber. And me for example, I drive 90% mostly on highway and I do oil change between 7k to 10k miles. Highway driving does not stress the engine compare to city Uber driving o. Your 10k mile oil change is too much. Make it 7k miles using Mobil 1 5w30 high mileage............

My Mobil 1 import from the USA sells for 65k for now. We will always be cheaper and original than most sellers.. We can save you money......


And most importantly engine oil will always be cheaper than engine replacement....

E90 owners, please can you kindly recommend the best engine oil to use. I have been using Hardex but I find myself needing oil replacement within 3weeks. I have no idea if the hardex oil breaks down faster. But I need to change to another oil first and observe if the replacement frequency will be the same. Also, I don't drive the car around much so mileage isn't the issue. I have a 325i 2006
Keep in mind , there more fake engine oil more than ever before. So this might be the reason why the oil is drying faster than usual....

You are driving a European car it deserves better oil than that hardex you are using. If you look at the oil cap of the car. It will be likely 5w30.......

But for most European cars 5w30, 5w40, 0w40 are often recommended. But you have to read the owner manual of the car to get more information....


My advice go for the Mobil 1 5w40 . The 5w40 from Mobil 1 is formulated for European vehicles. And since your vehicle is an older car . You will need Better oil weight for better protection. 5w40


I have new stock of Mobil 1 from the USA coming this month,you can wait than

Since Nigerians lacks maintenance culture, Nissan is usually a problematic car here, especially that Fx and infinity, they are few on our roads.

Mechanic usually disuade people from buying them.
Back than the FX was a dream car the interior was so nice and the car can move ..... When visiting Nigeria back than I saw a lot of it on the road. Than all of sudden I saw them park and abandoned with dust. I was so shocked and embarrassed.....

And after few rearch I came to find out the transmission will not tolerate abuse. You have to use the specific transmission fluid or else you go hear am.

I tired for naija, they turn a beautiful car to an eyesore parked on the road with trash on top am. Na wetin I see I dey tell you... Very embarrassing to say the least

Nissan is generally a problematic car,now you are even buying a Nigerian used one.

It will drain your finances and frustrate you.

Just be patient,add to the money you have and go for any Toyota brands.
How is Nissan a problematic car? What Nissan car specifically is problematic. Because you lack good maintenance culture the car is now problematic. Some cars will not tolerate any form of abuse....

My very first car tear rubber was a 2005 Nissan ser special edition. The only made 2005 and 2006. This is the SER o. Only issue I know of is after around 100k miles the fuel pump starts having issues . The fuel gauge will not read accurately. And you can't tell if the fuel is accurately full or empty. The same issue am having currently with my Infiniti. The Infiniti is Part of the Nissan family...


I also recall when the Infiniti Fx35 or the Fx model became popular in Nigeria. Those Fx didn't last two years before Nigerians starting calling it a bad car and discouraging people from buying it..

And meanwhile those FX were rugged and will not tolerate abuse for too long , especially transmission.

You people just want cars that you can pour any transmission fluid or oil . SMH
Car Talk › ........ Car an Asset Or Liability......... by dru23(op): 9:42pm On Apr 06, 2025
Lately have been getting people that are asking to help them sell their cars or link them with a buyer. As many of you guys area aware I no longer sell cars anymore. From time to time I make few exceptions depending on how clean and how the car is been taken care of .


Most time the pictures of the car send to me have so much issues by looking at it. The engine bay is full of so much contraption. Wires with tape seal on it etc.......And I said to myself your car can be an asset depending on how you take care of it ......


Most of you are aware i invested in Uber when Uber came to Nigeria.... There was a 2008 Elantra that was used for Uber for almost 3yrs . Obviously I bought the car tokunbo. The landing cost at the time was around
1.8m ..


Due to frustration I sold the car on nairaland. When the buyer came .we agreed to meet up at a disclose. location. They buyer came with a friend and no mechanic. I told the buyer were is your mechanic, he stated no need . I know you dru, you always take good care of your cars.....

The buyer paid that same day on the agreed price. Buyer didn't negotiate at all . When we confirmed alert the buyer drove off . The buyer came from Ogun state.

I sold the car and made small profit on top .......I also know of a customer that sold his 2014 Rx350 . He used the car for few years. He likely drove the car six times a month. The car was as good as a tokunbo and sold for almost the same amount the car was bought.....


From personal experience I do feel that your car can be an asset if you take care of it .....
