How many has donated more than dangote's worth?
Seems u dont know the worth of dangote

Are you talking generally or the place I use to work? If you talking generally just to name one that we can fact check and proof ... ..

Bill Gates.. He has donated up to $50 billions dollars so far .. Keep in mind I said so far....

Michael Bloomberg: Former Mayor of New York City.. He has donated close to $6 billions to charity so far .. Dangote has more than or worth more than $6billions ..but at least this guys are donating billions of dollars not naira o ..
These are the ones so far I can think of or close to donating billions of dollars.. Am sure they are many more.

My point is that just because you are wealthy or dangote does not mean USA embassy will automatically give you visa .. You still have to go through process just like everyone else..

Dangote can never be hustling for a visa.
If he goes to an embassy to apply for a visa, they wont ask him much but will say "thank u Sir. We are pleased that u are coming to invest in our country. "
Same with innoson, otedola etc

It is not about hustling for visa that USA embassy cares about. All they care about is for you to return back home to your country .. Americans dont need dangote money my brother.. The hotel that I work for in my USA years ago.. Had billionaire richer than dangote and the few you mention.. Some of them if they had dangote's money they will kill themselves.. Some have donated more than worth dangote's worth .. Some are even younger than dangote.. There are levels to this sh*t bro.. The only thing American cares about when applying for visa at the embassy are few things

1. Do u have a criminal record.. Rich or poor does not matter to them

2. Can you take care of yourself while in the USA or are you going to be a nuisance to the government

3. Are you going for business and what type of business.. If dangote does business in USA ,tax alone will kill him ..do you know how much tax business companies pay ?

Yankee embassy could care less about dangote money, he will still has to go through the visa process like everybody else

EgunMogaji2:
You're speaking the truth.

Let me preface what I'm about to say that anyone has a right to live where ever they want.

That being said, I take a slight offece at the constant blows being dealt to NIgeria and Nigerians that are left behind. Why don't people just go on with their life abroad? Why do they have to ridicule those that either choose to stay or unable to make the move?

A lot of us are coming back home. I came back home this year after being gone for 33 years. Nigeria, as you said, is a wonderful place to live in if you are structured. I could have retired anywhere in the world. But I prefer Nigeria and especially Ibadan. That I chose to move to Ibadan destabilized one frustrated oil monkey on here who said I moved backwards

Many are leaving the country the country, the ones that got stuck in Libya during the war ,refuse to come back home to Nigeria... The ones that are coming back don't have not fully faced reality yet.. If you leaving the comfort of good electricity, good jobs, good roads, Good Health care system, security , better education etc to come to Nigeria ,and the ones in Nigeria are trying to leave by all means possible... Oga I don't know what does ones leaving to come to Nigeria are smoking.. Whatever it is must be very strong.... Strongest strain of weed ......

Let us be objective here.. Certain things need to be put in place before things can work.. The basic necessities that the government is supposed to provide.. It is now luxury things to those that can afford them.. Doing business in Nigeria itself so tough , me that I do business self it is tough for me .. I don't see myself ever staying and leaving in Nigeria.. The most I can is two months at a time.. Even the wealthy in Nigeria go back and fourth between their homes in South Africa, London, USA etc.. This gives them room to escape the madness and total dysfunctional that is going on in the country.. Large percentage of them are the cause for it.. People will say foreigners are making money in Nigeria.. Yes the lucky few or so .. But where is the money they are making going to ? It is going back to their own country to enjoy, the are taking their profits back to their country of origin.. Even the people in politics that are chopping money in government.. Those ones are taking stolen money oversea for save keeping, away from instability of the economy. Those are going back to Nigeria to settle finally ,I wish them the best of luck. ..

Ps.. The ones leaving the country are more than the ones coming to stay... That alone should tell you something..

It's tokumbo bro, I am in Lagos to clear it now. Hopefully I will buying the oil this week to service it and more for subsequent services. I need an affordable one bought from u.s

Mobil 1 goes for 17k Naira , cheapest price that you can find in the market.. And guarantee to be genuine Mobil 1 oil from the USA or your money back .. That I guarantee

Ps.. 0w20 and 5w20 tend to cost more than 5w30.. Especially if the oil is original.. Those oil are made for more advance engine .... A 2010 Corolla uses 0w20 ,so in some cars the more improved engine built, the more better oil grade is needed...

but you suppose know say all these oil threads na packaging na.

call and response.

Packaging or no packaging.. Always follow owners manual at all times.. The more advance your car engine is the more care will be needed to take good care of it.. Unless you want to be driving a car that was made in 1999 forever .....

PS.. Do you know that USA Mobil 1 Engine oil ,does not meet certain European cars oil requirement.. E.g. Some Benz from 2015 or there about, Range rover and some other cars..

sacramento1212:

The thing just surprise me. Even if you pour synthetic ororo inside your engine, you won't immediately announce the merit or demerit.

You have to run your engine for a while to notice anything.

My brother it depends who you tell that too. I sold oil to client Mobil 1 extended performace.. From experince the guy was scared to buy o .. He said he as seen his neigbour doing fake Mobil 1 oil in their house.. He said police use to come and disturb his neigbour.. ..Than the neighbour will than settle police .. My car dealer was the one that vouch for us that will sale genuine oil.. The car was a 2010 Lexus E350 at least .. Go price the engine for market .....
Some cars can take engine oil abuse and others can't.. The more advance in technology your car is ,the more care needs to be taken ... keep in mind if you don't take care of your engine.. And you need engine replacement, I dont care how good the mechanic is.. Once that engine is replaced it will never be the way the manfacture intended it to be.. PREVENTION IS BETTER CURE...

I did not see mobil 1 5litres or 4litres for my honda crv. I checked at least 5 mobil stations. Its only 1 litee they have. So my mechanic recommended me to stallion1 which he says is better than mobil 1 engine oil. My question now is hope its not gonna affect my engine .
Anyone used stallion 1 engine oil for honda
And how much is it. Mechanic said its 15k

My brother have talked about this a million times.. Follow your owners manual at all the times .. If you look at the engine oil cap of your engine .. It tells your oil type e.g. 5w30, 5w20, 0w20 etc .. You just dont buy any oil and put in your engine

I actually subscribe to this.

Only reason I switched from Total to Forte is by insistence of my Kazeem. He’ll not offer guarantee on my engine rebuild unless I switch to Forte.

Doing the first post rebuild change today.

Baba you are rebuilding engine? Me I can't never rebuild any engine o. . Unless I can get the rebuilt kit from the USA.. ..which can be very expensive, so in essence if you are rebuilding you need to get the full rebuild kit. ..there is no point doing a job half done or half bake.. Also 80% of rebuild in Nigeria will not last up to 1 year. This is due to fake parts and mechanics that are not competent enough to do the job right.. Unless you want sit down and baby sit the mechanic as he is doing the work. Or better yet unless you want do the rebuilt yourself.. Even if decide to rebuild it yourself.. How much of experince do you have? When was the last time you rebuild an engine, and how long did the engine last... If you can truly answer this questions truthfully , than you can go ahead and do the rebuilt yourself.
But on a wiser note ,baba it is better you take that your 4runner drive down to Ladipo and buy new engine .. We have competent mechanics that will help you pick a good engine at ladipo.. They will even help you load am inside your 4runner. And than back to Ibadan you go , am sure there at least 1 or 2 mechanic in the whole of Ibadan than can help you with the new engine.. Since you are now using Forte oil , I dont want you to go on a suicide mission with these ur project o .. .. You lived in America (allegedly ) for long time.. Let us use what we learn overseas to better ourselves and teach new skills to people around us..

PS.. This is not shading you sir, just want to offer my two cents

mcvities:
Please I need an urgent answer to this, I drive a 2003 Toyota Corolla that was brought in earlier this year from the US and driven by someone else for six months before it was sent down to me, I have driven the car for close to two months plus and I want to do an oil change and oil filter change.

I don't know the last oil that was used but the recommended oil from the owners manual and even the oil cap is 5W30 API Sl, At this moment, since I don't know which oil it was serviced with the last time, what is the recommended oil that I should use?

The car has about 162,000+ miles on it.

Please, for any recommended oil, where can I get it, I am residing in Port Harcourt.

Please treat as urgent

5w30 is the oil for it... The market is full of fake engine oil know the source of your oil... I import all my oil and filters.. I would have reccomended USA Castrol, but am sold out. But Mobil 1 for 17k is available and oil filter for 2k ...

You don’t always get cheaper prices by buying ahead. Some of my best deals were scored last minute. I did a $550.00 LAX-LOS return once.

I have over 110,000 miles on Delta alone, more scattered on United and American Airlines.

I hold a USA and Nigerian passport and also retired so I can travel at a moments notice.

When I got the car,I ordered for Mobil 1 5w 20 from ebay.unfortuantely the delivered 5w 30.
So I made little research and decided to use it like that ,Never went back to 5w 20 anymore.

Now I want to switch to 5w 40 because I made research and found out my engine could be more lubricanted with a heavier oil as we are entering a very hot weather now.

What do you think.

No matter what bro , follow the owners manual at all times. I will not advice you to switch to 5w40 ,unless the engine is shorten oil .. And if the engine is shorten oil that is not a good sign..... The 5w30 that you use will not damage your car , but you might not get the best Mpg. So go back to 5w20 .. If you decide to use 5w40, it might cause some damage in the long run .. And that 5w40 will not give you the best Mpg compare to 5w20

When buying engine oil look for a seller that has a reputation that people can vouch for.. There are lots of fake engine oil in the market now .. So choose wisely
