₦airaland Forum

Crvrider:
The bolded is exactly Dru's point. If the whites are having a hard time getting their cars fixed, how much more down here in Nigeria where quite a number of mechanics don't take the time to update their skills.

Dru was only stating what he felt was the obvious. I follow chrixfixit on youtube and this guy is a bad ass mech. He uploaded a video of changing the battery of a Prius and without the right skill set and tools an attempt to do that will turn that car into a lemon.

Oga gazzuzz na now I understand why you ask me to see beyond my horizon. The mentality of some people on this particular forum is just beyond reasoning.

Am just done with some Larger than life Human here. You need me contact me on my page or WhatsApp. This is my last post here.


Shalom

Good morning house

Opinions needed on Honda City 09 manual transmission...

Thanks @all

NYCnextStop:
Baba why are you contradicting yourself. First it was that there are no technicians for hybrid cars and now it is the stress and time to get the car fixed

See eh... there’s no cutting corners to excellence. Once you are good at what you do people will always find you. Even people with normal cars don’t mind waiting for long hours to have their cars fixed.

You can’t be wherever you are and dictate what happens here. There are lots of hybrid cars here with plenty technicians also. Stick to what you know

peeps4u:
Why do some people love violence? The guy could have pulled a gun if he had one.

davit:
How I wish others would understand your point! But, nevertheless, let whoever wants to go hybrid go. When the battery wahala starts or wiring issue, keep it to yourself.

Blackbishop:
Boss like I said na condemning in totality I get issue with.

In life if you no buy Na Lie, you no go buy Na True.

GforGee:
Yeah you like arguement, I see that. Tell me how much your posts have defined constructive criticism

Blackbishop:
Baba nobody dey vex here for him, but condemning in totality is not right.

GforGee:
Argue? I don't do that, sorry to disappoint you. Now, I've not done a census of the number of mechanics in Lagos or anywhere but I can tell you that there are thousands of them. Quick question, how many have you tried?
Nobody says you shouldn't state the facts, but you go a long way to condemn. I guess it makes you happy!

GforGee:
Y'all should try to understand each other and not throw jabs (I wonder why you even enjoy that ). Dru is based in USA, and every mechanic there is competent, thus making him carry the same mentality to Nigeria that any mechanic (roadside or otherwise) should be competent. My guys here for Naija knows better about Nigerian mechanics that not all are good (as a matter of fact, you have to try many to find a competent one). Since Dru have experienced lots of incompetency, he has made up his mind about certain things. I think we should see his point of view even if we don't see his point.
Mr Dru, I think you should also be calming down ooh. Don't go start thinking Nigerians are incapable, no, we are not, na our leaders dey draw us back. You will be shocked at what we can do under the right circumstances and with the right tools. For example, how many mechanics do you think are able to afford a torque wrench, which they need badly They will always want to improvise.
So next time, please ask those on ground and don't just condemn us, it actually makes some people agitated. And from what I've known on Nairaland since I've been visiting since about 2011 or so - No be everybody sabi take/absorb words for understanding.

eyinola:
the matter come be like 2 ex lovers wey still dey catch feelings

pope191:
Boss Felicity started the fire... They still have feelings for each other, they both enjoyed working together, but reality sucks. It's either they both see a therapist or speak to each other honestly, admit faults and let d process of healing take it place.

NYCnextStop:
So you still got that picture

This is so petty and shallow to say the least. I hope you heal and grow up this year

Felicity0001:
Thank God.

And dem say naija no get good mechanic... C how black solves problem remotely from heaven to earth.

Broa abeg do give away

abbey621:
I'm also a US citizen, words like treason is the exact reason why we have chaos in the US right now. Both sides are guilty of playing politics with American lives and your accusation of treason will not hold up in court. I do agree with you tho, there is no evidence of election fraud and Trump needs to move on.

Jeromejnr:
Chai. Fake man.

glambo:
Only u
Which kain driver you be?
Driving 4 different cars till fuel reach reserve tank

Na wa ooooooo

Felicity0001:
Don't mind them... Na bad belle people.

I always say, "a person who always pin point faults in everybody he works with or relates with is tje one a with problem".

How possible it is that even with how talented and hardworking Nigerians are, yet we dont/won't have one, just 1 good and competent mechanic that have at least 70% knowledge on electric cars. Is that possible?
And all our mechanics are bad. Lies!

I know a few good people, not everybody is bad.

Jeromejnr:
So I am in Naija you this fake U.S man

Stop watching too much CNN, you this Mowe Ibafo man.

See how he regurgitated news from CNN. Georgian Republicans said no fraud yet they lost seats. And they are like its fine...Oopsie daisy.

Pearl1910:
I second this opinion because I have had first hand experience.

Nobody is belittling Nigerian mechanics but just stating the facts that there are no enough competent mechanics/technicians for Hybrid cars yet in Nigeria. (see Hvac's situation now he has to sleep in Asaba cos of minor fault and mechanics are still doing tombotombo)

Also our maintainance culture is very bad, we patch/manage our cars, and we change parts only when they are bad, we don't follow required service time...doing that with an hybrid will tell in the shortest possible time and the cost will be catastrophic. Fixing only one cell is patching and you know it. But u are okay cos the car don start. That car cannot charge and discharge properly again and your 'fuel savings' will be going down d drain.

If u have a Prius that's still serving you, good luck to u, (please tell us the MPG/KmPL you get on it) But I will not advise someone to go and buy it, except his pocket is deep.

I don off mic for this subject.

swiperthefox:
That's why Nigeria is a mess. No functioning cell in the brain. Someone is destroying a 240+ democracy and you are attacking the legislator's personal life because she wants to do her job.

swiperthefox:
Now, it is 50-50. Kamala Harris has the tie breaking vote. It is good for him to be a 2 time impeached ex president that didn't finish his tenure.

Jeromejnr:
You didn't even counter or say anything intelligent. Just the normal Nigerian emotional meltdown you guys have.

Jeromejnr:
Its not against the law init because its favours you..but yall were disturbing Trump when he was questioning and investigating votes which was his duty by law.

Trump too doesn't owe anyone any explanation.

Obijulius:
Lols.

This one thinks she’s in Somalia her failed country.

This adulteress who sleeps with her brother to enable him get to the US. Infidel sleeping with her current live in boyfriend a non-Muslim!

Meanwhile I saw this on Instagram DNA test kits cheap and below 45k. I don’t know how true o but better than bringing up another man’s kids!

THANK YOU

obalala:
Dead this talk about Pruis bro... I’m not advocating for anybody to buy it.. just stop the exaggeration about owing one in Nigeria or abroad, it’s not as bad as you’re projecting it pls...thank God a former Nigerian user commented.
Pruis wey Dey everywhere for California .. order lyft or Uber and you have a 70% chance a Pruis will pick you up...
The numbers of pple using it in Lag is increasing doesn’t mean when you randomly snap a picture you expect to see a hybrid in it... what kind of sample collection is that sef ...
I enjoy silently reading this thread but on this exaggeration about Pruis dead the matter Gee.. I won’t be replying you on this matter again

obalala:
I currently use a Pruis will be 2 yrs next month in Nigerian roads no major fault and I haven’t spent one dime on “the Kazeems” .. had a challenge at first in finding the right mechanic when I needed to do oil change but all that is story now..if you’re very observant you will notice more Pruis cars in lagos roads of recent “don’t they know the battery is expensive? Why are pple Shipping it more into 9ja? Every time I go for servicing I see loads of Pruis Uber drivers there (next time I go will snap) in btw my colleague at work has been using his Pruis since 2016 and only changed 2 battery cells till date.. . I can’t vouch for other Hybrids but Pruis remains a King..
