StagethemTVee:
Apologising to an elder but still crossing the legs. A well trained Yoruba son who got carried away with social media hype and western culture. We don't call elders bastards nor insult them. You went too far and i really hope you mean this apology. The ice in the Freezer has been melted. The Freesheeple Daddy has been humbled.

Kindly answer these simple questions Sir and if you can't provide simple and honest answers please hide your face in the sand like an ostrage, why because you don't shouldn't poke noise in people business like you know all.

1) Are you the ine that rented a car to me?
If Yes
2) Did I bridge any of the contract agreement we entered and signed?
3) Did I at any time default in my rental remittance pre and post covid-19 at each of the agreed amount?
4) Did you in any where mentioned to me either by the signed contract agreement or by mutual or verbal agreement that I as the rentee should not at any time under any circumstance take my rented car(your car) on a trip out of state and I disobeyed?
5) The N10k you claim was too little for weekly rental, did I forced it on you? Did you or not agreed to it? Did you accepted it or not? Did I for once failed to pay for the few weeks? Or did I object to any review of contract i.e at all if you even made an attempt to try. Off course you knew for sure no one would accept a review when he's spending more than 50% of his earnings on fuel due to a faulty component which I was patiently waiting its arrival for almost 3/4months only for you to call for your car.
6) For the 7 months your car was in my custody did I ever call you for day to tell you car was vandalized, damaged or stolen?


Lastly, be honest oh oga since you are dru23, did I for one day offended you starting from day 1 of our contract till we went our separate ways[/b]huh?

So Sir, with all due respect if you can't give answers to any of these question I would advised that you keep quiet and stop quoting me.
rub bish!

hmmmmm.

it has taken me 2 hours to read through all the insults and issues regarding sooperrescue and the oil guy and this is my take on the matter.

1- sooperrescue, you seem to be a prominent nairalander with a cult following on range rovers. For this alone, I am dissapointed that you would allow dis degenerate to this level. You hav way more 2 loose than the oilguy. Just know that your customers are watching wether you like it or not.

2- no matter what you say, it is very clear that you are either helpishere or you are closely related to him. If you have a money problem with the seller and all of a sudden, someone related to you starts attacking the seller's product, it is clear to all diserning eyes that you have something to do with it and it is a personal vendetta. So wether u worked with helpishere 10 years ago or last month as u claim, you sure know him so u know what is going on.

3- u owe the seller, you cannot owe someone and try to discredit his product, a product you have been buying for the last one year and expect him not to be mad at you. truth has to be told here and I am not sure why other nairalanders like gazzuzz, diportivo, legalwealth, dannybrasky and co have not waded into the matter to correct your errors.

4- That you are importing or selling motor oils does not mean you have to be an engineer or a genius on oils. Constantly talking about specs is boring. The average nigerian just wants to know if it is original mobil and if it is 0w20 or 5w30 as stated by car manufacturer.

5- There are people on nairaland selling cheaper than the oil guy as pointed out in one of your posts, they are importers too. It is a buyers market and supply and demand affects prices.

6- The oil guy, I advise you to seek redress outside here rather than continuing to engage and insult. It is business gone wrong which happens from time to time.

Finally, sooper rescue sir, this has gone on too long and is damaging your brand, take this off nairaland as another poster opined above. u ar 2 respected for this.
Well said.....

chijioke17:
I've been following this arguement between the major parties about 10 pages back now, and before hand, I had deduced something's about major personalities here, first off was Dru, honestly with the picture qoutes and all, I didn't take him as a serious person, jpworld I saw as someone domineering, about felicity, hmmmmm.

Now, I understand where everyone's issue is. I feel jpworld has been played and taken advantage of a lot of times and so he decides to shield his empathetic side and be strictly on a business level, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. My only problem is you don't really seem to understand that everyone isn't the same, your approach to business works for you, but may not work for others, I'd suggest you only advice co partners on what to do rather than to to cajole them to adopt your business strategy.

For Dru, I honestly never took you as a serious person, but you changed that within the last 10 pages. You seem like someone that gives people a lot of leeway but once pushed to the wall, turn a hard cheek and damn the consequences. I also deduced that if you adopt jpworld's business strategy, you wouldn't get optimum performance from your business partners. Please don't let any one change your business approach. Stick to what works for you.

Mr Felicity, from the inception of when I joined this page at about page 860 or so, I noticed you are like the proverbial lion waiting for whom to devour. There is this name my people call people with similar characteristics " eze onye agwala m" loosely translated to someone that cannot be reasoned with and always feels they are right. Am I saying you are always wrong, not exactly. All I'm saying is, you don't seem to see anything wrong in whatever actions you take, but would rather that everyone sees things from your perspective and adopt your opinion, and when people fail to do so, you ostracize them and tag them the enemy. The fact people don't buy your idea doesn't mean they are enemies. It only shows freedom of thinking and expression. I was actually surprised to know you were actually married. I hope this attitude doesn't reflect negatively on your home. But honestly, you need to self reflect and evaluate. In the course of different discussions, a lot of people have deduced and concluded that you cannot really be reasoned with, to an extent that is true, I may be wrong, but please self reflect, try to modify something's, do accept that sometimes you cannot be right. There is a saying that 'you can't judge others based on their actions, and judge yourself based on your intentions'. Please do well to patch things up with Dru, even if you don't partner in the future, nothing beats a good relationship between former business partners. I actually am expecting an albeit non palatable response seeing that I don't subscribe to your channel of thoughts, but please do give my advice some consideration.
Very on point, too much on point self lol .....you are a mind reader , am equally as nice as I am mean ....

Your very wrong here, try and read what dru23 wrote again den u will understand better, do you know how much it will cost to maintain dos cars not to talk of the bad roads we have here dat will spoil ur shocks and mad danfo drivers, keke nd korope that will nearly destroy the cars,.

Thank you my brother.... Cost of shocks for those cars no be for here my brother ... I wonder which type engine oil they will use o. Maybe na the ever popular Mobil xhp 20w50 aka palm oil .....maybe I fit get contract and supply them my imported engine oil ...hmmmm my brother don't mind me joor , na my entrepreneur mind dey type all these things...... At the end of the day nothing concern driver, na just to drive motor and let moove worry about the rest ....when moove tired nobody go tell them to pack load and go back to their country....

If there is no hidden terms and conditions with Moove, or certain restrictions, u go for Moove.


According to the YouTube driver,
you will do 35 trips that will go straight to moove, , that 35 trips can worth 40k or even 50k.

Can Moove bring in 10000 cars for uber, I don't think so, there will always be car rental business.

We that are small scale our rent suppose be more expensive than moove.
Moove is the USA version of getaround rental .. You can rent from them for about $200.00 a week .. My friend uses them anytime is uber car breaks down...He told they have up to 700 cars in my state.. It is a good business for them .....

So now moove wants to move Africa and Nigeria ...it is the Nigeria drivers that will Moove out of Nigeria.. You can't bring an American system way of doing things to Nigeria.. We are wired differently and with bad roads, lack of maintenance culture ,I dont care attitude from both Nigerian government and its citizens will not let moove survive....... Nigerians as a whole can't manage their own thing properly ,so na foreign property dey want manage... transport system in Developed countries so totally different from third world country... if moove has any chance of doing well with their idea, it will be in South Africa ....


Whether the car is 20 years or 100 years it is the same amount it will deliver.. Moove driver driving 2020 Corolla will still deliver same amount as a 20 year old driver.... ..the cost of maintaining those moove car is more than the regular rental cars..

God Bless President Trump!

President Trump is an Example to Show that the Ways of God are not the Ways of Men. God has used Him Mightily and Massively in these Endtimes, Especially in Fulfilling the Endtimes Prophecies.

Call Him What you wanna Call Him! That Man has Sealed a Generational Blessing with God For His Family and For America.

The Covenant says
I will Bless those that Bless you and Curse those that Curse you. Presidency Trump , the Mysterious President Has Been the Greatest Friend to God's Nation Isreal not Just in Mouth but in Action.

President Trump is the First President to physically attend the Prolife Rally. not just in Mouth but in Action

President Trump Presidency has Brought about Revival and Expansion of the Gospel of JESUS All over the World Especially in Nations where the Gospel was a No Go area..

The Bible Passage which records " At The LAST TRUMP " is not a Coincidence with President Trump! Anyone who has Understanding of the times and Seasons will know we are at the Season of The LAST TRUMP !

President Trump is God's Personal Appointment for a Time as This! There is Nothing any Person , Demon or Power can do about it!

Only a Man Divinely Backed Can Pass through what He has Passed through and Still be President..

People will be shocked to See and Hear that the President of the United Has Gone with the Trumpet..

Who God Has Blessed! No Man Can Curse!

A mech i don't trust enough to handle a simple oil chnage without duping me has no business opening my bonnet in the first instance. We should try as much a possible to avoid dubious people in our dealings. But the question now is; how do we know dubious minds huh huh
You can't never know dubious mind.. They come in sheep clothing .. Nigeria is a jungle , best thing is to make sure you take care of your car well enough and try and buy quality parts... when it comes to certain parts for my car I usually buy through nairaland recommended sellers. Those one have a reputation to keep , even with that self you have to becareful......
Autos › Monitor Your Oil Change......... by dru23(op): 2:46pm On Sep 06, 2020
To my USA engine oil customers.......when changing your oil, please make sure you are present at all times .. DO NOT just buy 14k naira imported oil give to mechanic, driver, work shop etc for them to change without monitoring it... what dubious people will do is they will change the imported one and do counter balance with fake ones and make an extra 3k naira or more ....

So if you are not there to monitor your oil change , put a mark on the gallon and always ask them to return the gallon back to you when done .. They excuse you might get is that they used up all the etc ... Most times depending on your car oil capacity especially 4plugs engine a 5quarts gallon will always remain, most 4plugs will take 4liters and you will always left over for future top ups ....

Picture below ... after doing an oil change my mechanic notice that the oil does not look real , he complain about the quality of oil been used ... monitor your oil change at times ,know who you buying your oil from and avoid buying fake oil ... fake oil will damage your car .....

Got my car tokunbo 2003 Camry a year ago.
Had been using 5w-30 Hardex full synthetic oil since I got the car.

But just about 3weeks ago I notice my oil dropped slightly.

The check engine light isn't on

What could b the problem
From experience your engine oil seal might be worn out and leaking somewhere.. A good mechanic will need to open up the engine cover and check for leaks or worn out seal or valves ...keep in mind your car is over 15 years old with high miles .. So it is natural for things to be worn out.

Below is an example of worn out seals in one of my uber cars.. I talk about few months ago , the car was shortening oil like crazy , I was advice to use thicker oil cause car his high miles etc .. So I seek a second opinion and a nairaland mechanic open up the engine valve and we saw the worn out seals.. It was replace and oil never shorten after that.. And I still continue to use the manufacturer recommended oil 5w20.. So have it checked out .. And also check the Pcv valves too ...As a car owner try and take some initiative and research on your own .. It will help you in the long run and save u money..


And you said you use Hardex oil ... have never heard of it before, please and please research your oil before using, Google is your friend.... Let us try to be responsible car owners

Please I would like to ask of any good conventional/mineral oil of the 5w30 grade I can use for a 2004 Corolla. I have searched wide and it's the expensive synthetic oils I always see in that 5w30 grade. The cheapest I have seen is Mobil Semi synthetic locally made 5w 30 at 5500 naira. I have been using it but it shorts at 2500km so I have to top up one litre and use till 4500-4800km then I go for service.

I prefer frequent oil changes so I don't want to use expensive synthetic 5w 30 oils.
Good things don't come cheap........ Which cost more quality engine oil or replacing your engine.. USA quality engine oil is now more affordable than ever .. You just have to know where to look .... ... don't be penny wise and pound foolish .. With quality oil you change oil less frequently and save money .... Just use full synethtic oil and quality oil filter, you change oil every 7k miles ... saves you money in the long ...

Depending if you got the car tokunbo or naija used.. Check for oil leakage ,seals and Pcv valves before you decide to fry your engine with 20w50 palm oil ... if you got the car tokunbo and you have been using the manufacturer recommendation 5w30, than it might be just an oil seal or ring that causes small shortage.. But if na naija used , you are on your own o

Thanks for your input.
I have been wondering too, is it that the '08 Civic is not so appropriate for the hustle?

I am looking at the City range too.
The factor is I have a budget below 1m and looking at cars less than 2.0ltr engine

Kia Rio, Cerato, Optima
Hyundai Accent, Elantra
Honda Civic, City
Toyota Yaris, Camry


Got any input on this?

I can only give input on the cars that I used for uber ....


03 to 05.... Honda Civic very strong and study .....very low maintenance... Use the rite engine oil and transmission fluid.... Find a Honda specialist to handle all repairs

07 to 08 Hyundai Elantra .....very good alternative to the over hyped Corolla .. Good on gas and very strong car for uber ..always make you use correct parts for this cars ..

I am not a big fan of naija used cars ,due to most owners lack of maintainence culture.. So if you buy one ,good luck .......

A lot of factors comes to play as to why drivers drop so fast and look exhausted.

We exhaust a lot of brainpower trying to stay focused behind the wheel daily, especially in this crazy Lagos where you not only have to drive for the person ahead of you but as much as two to three cars in front of you, behind you and sideways.

There’s a difference between driving to work and back AND driving round the clock as an e-hailing driver. Your body go hear am if you don’t take out time rest yourself and the tool; car.

Drawing my exit plan already, e remain small sad
With any job you do in life is work smart that is the key ..for years have been indirectly and directly teaching people ways to wrk smart...have given opportunities to people ,but many fail greed as blinded them ... it becomes a circle and this is naija we go survive mentality.....


Young men ,including me " make haste while young " you don't want to be struggling when you are in ur 50's ...wrk hard now ,stop the complain, think outside the box .....
