cococandy:Gay right has been an issue in the USA for some time. But we were able to move past it. If you recall at one time they were issue of gays marrying in church whether it was right or not. A lot of Christians were against it. The Christians evangelical didn't approve that and they gather votes for Trump first term. They played a major role in his first election. And now the country was able to move past that..... And when Obama took office he gave them rights and more rights. The black community said all Obama did was help the gays and neglected the black community. We now fast forward to the Biden administration . We went from gays to trans gender to trans gender men/women competing in biological male/female sports. And than teaching kids about LGBT and pronouns and hormones treatment. These were laws that was pass under the democratic rule. A Republican will never pass such laws Please keep in mind the Republican party are very conservative. This is 1 of many issues that has been facing the democratic party. Trump uses this issues to energyize his base. People might not talk publicly about issues like this. But they will let their votes do the talking for them...... I do agree that Trump does not care about the whole LGBT crew. Some of them were part of his base during his first election. They came out and supported him . Trump has bigger fish to fry. I know for sure he deal with the immigration issues. It is very costly to do just like when he said he will build a wall in Mexico. That wall now has now become a white elephant with billions of dollars wasted. His new immigration policy will not yield any solid results . It will be waste of time and money. And he blame the previous administration. Trump does not hire bass on competence. He hires base on loyalty to him and him only. And nothing gets done. He will sack and hire people left and right. And nothing meaningful will be done. His administration will be like how politics are run in 3rd world countries. Keep in mind the supreme Court judges that he appointed appointed . Already stated that a president cannot be criminally charge for anything he does while he his in office. What that means that a level of corruption will be the order of the Day. Keep in mind he has spend so much money for his trials. He is coming to make more money than he as ever made and nothing will happen to him . Him and Elon musk are now business partners. Trump played everybody. The next 4yrs will be like a movie to watch. You better grap your popcorn. |
kkins25:Thank you my brother.... Yes the Democratic party mess up badly with the gay right movement. They push the envelope. I can recall during the Obama regime. Obama administration didn't want to give Kenya aid because of their human rights abuse on gays. I recall the Kenya government explaining that it is not our main issue right now. So the democratic mess up on that.... Now back to Trump matter. Trump is using this issues and gaslighting everyone. Trump cares more about himself and his pocket.. Please keep in mind the supreme Court judges appointed by Trump . Have already stated that you can't criminally Charge a president for anything he/she does while in office... What does that mean Trump will do anything he wants and he will richer than when he came into office. I do expect him to deal with immigration issues, but it cost so much money and it might not be effective. Trump could careless if you be gay, trans gender etc. He does not respect does that of type and as long as you don't bring those things around him he could careless. Trump has bigger issues to worry about than gays or trans gender. Trump was to fill his pockets. Even gays voted for him .. Trump is just using the people and playing on their emotions to gain for his own selfish interests. And also Trump will hire people base on loyalty than competence. It is about to be a movie for the next 4yrs and excited to see how it will play it . The American people voted for Trump. And they will get what they voted for . I blame the democratic for this mess. January 25th 2025 let the show begin..... |
datola:A trade war with China will not be in anybody interest. Trump has an appreal business in China. I think that business Trump has dissolved it . China is not the country Trump wants to F with in terms of trade . Most USA companies have business in China coz of cheap labor. Apple for example makes iPhone in china. I don't want to buying iPhone for $5k dollars because of trade war .. I recall when Trump said he wants to keep jobs in America. He wants to prevent USA companies from taking manufacturing jobs to China. I just laugh and laugh. |
Pearl1910:Before I reply your comments. I would like to make a few points. And I will explain further on it . 1. I am USA citizen born and raised 2nd generation Nigerian American. 2. Am neither a democratic or Republican. And I didn't vote for Kamala Harrison or Trump. Nethier we're good candidates. 3. The democratic mess up with immigration policy. By opening up the door for the increase of immigrants. It became an empidec 4. The United States is not ready for female president talk less of a mix race president 5. The attack on January 6th on capital Hill Trump was responsible for it .. I don't want to waste too much time on points here. Let me get down to business. When you fail to hold your leaders accountable you threaten the very existence of democracy. Trump has consistently broken so many laws. This is not a witch hunt that you claim the democratic are chasing. This is holding Trump accountable for the laws he has broken. Obama or any other minority would have been put to jail for half of the things Trump has done.. Trump has consistently lied and try to divide than America people. He wants to make America Great Again. What does that mean. Was there a time that America was not great. Does he mean he wants to make America white again? When Trump lost the election to Biden. He constantly stated that the election was fraud. He stated that the election was stolen from him and people should fight and fight. When his former vice president Mike Pence was at the capital Hill January 6th 2020 to certify the votes that Biden won the election. Trump was angry and furious that his own vice president will certify the election that Biden won. This is how his relationship with his vice president ended. Trump felt betrayal by Mike Pence because Pence was loyal to the constitution and not him. During the 2020 election Trump called Georgia officials to over turn the elections. He was loosing to Biden and was asking for more votes. This was a recorded message. Trump has broken so many laws and he was impeach 2 times . But the Republicans refused to vote him out of office. They kept saving his ass. Do you know that Trump criminal charges went all the way up to the supreme Court. The Judges that he elected stated that a USA sitting president cannot be liable or charge for anything he does while in office. This is very dangerous to the democracy. It means that Trump can decide to start a war in Nigeria now and nothing will happen. The Democratic are only trying to hold Trump accountable and show that nobody or no one is above the law. This is why you have checks and balance in the executive branch of power. This checks and balance are put there for reason . It prevents 1 branch from getting too powerful. If we don't follow these laws that our finding father fought and die for. Than we no longer need to accountable for anything. Your statement truly convinces me that Nigerians truly deserves the leaders they get . When the leaders are corrupt, the citizens themselves are equally as corrupt as the leaders that governs them .. Whatever political problems the USA faces especially internally will not only affect me , but also affects my kids. Whether I like it or not America is my home. Home is home and needs to be protected. And I don't want American to turn to a 3rd world country. Try and focus making Nigeria better. Our grand parents fail us by not fighting for our future. And the currant generations are failing the future generations. This becomes a cycle that keeps rotating with no positive end.. |
Pearl1910:What do you think will happen to those that left their Uber job and Japa to USA. ? I think those people should be ready to come home now and continue where they left their Uber driving ... Once Trump enters there will mass deportation now . I know a friend that Japa studying IT and the other doing nursing are nervous as hell now . Both are thinking moving to Canada now. But Canadian will soon start tightening their borders.... Well there is nothing like home sweet home. They should be ready to come home and embrace this T pain regime. We are all in together.. it is time MNGA MAKE NIGERIA GREAT AGAIN |

Philosophic:When the leaders are not accountable for their actions. The citizens themselves will not hold themselves accountable....... This is why T pain is ruling now . And I hope and pray that he rule for second term .

ogbonti:

Philosophic:That is not leadership to me. If you can't hold your leaders accountable for their actions, than whom are u leading.... Trump does not want to be held accountable. If it was Obama that was accused of what trump did. They would have impeach him and thrown him in jail.. The reason Trump won because he incite fear. That is not leadership to me |
Neoteny:Am base in the USA , so I follow politics and am aware of the American racism.. I myself was not a big fan of Kamala Harrison . I think the democratic were better off picking a white male candidate...... That been said I truly believe in my heart that America is not yet ready for a female president talk less of a mix race female president. Obama will be the first and last black president to taste that white house power.... Majority of Trump supporters are white and a few blacks, Latino, Asian etc .. but his main core supporters are white. And his last presidency he elected all white conservatives supreme Court judges. Let that sink in |
ogbonti:Let me bust your bubble here. Do you know that Trump elected very very conservative judges to the supreme Court. Please look it up and read to understand..... Those conservative supreme judges are put there to make sure no other race than White will rule the country. Those judges are Republican and not zero democratic judges.. where is the balance of power here ? |
bepositive11:What economy? Things might be expensive at the grocery store. But that is due to inflation, inflation happens everywhere. Maybe people want free money again. Free money sweet pass anything. But las las na the citizen go pay for am. All COVID money and stimulus package that he gave out . Who do you think will pay for that |
abbey621:I am second generation Nigerian American. I have experience racism at the age of 10yrs old. The story long for me to explain for here And have witnessed racism at my place of work directly or indirectly. That been said. White American is not ready for female mix race or even white female president. Obama will be the last mix or black president ever. If you believe in statistic majority of Trump supporters and the die hard supporters are uneducated. We have the in between Hispanic, black, and Asian etc .. but his core supporters are white.... Let that sink in |
abbey621:America is not ready for a woman as president especially a woman of color. Let that sink in. Obama will be the only black president in history. |
mushroomFarm:So Trump that called "Nigeria shithole country" he will care about Nigerian Christians. You must be smoking some strong weed |
Engine Air filter: The air filter is like lungs to your engine. As your car is in operational mode , the engine is collecting dirt, particles. The air filter prevents those particles from entering the engine. If you notice your car is not running up to optimal level and there is high fuel consumption You should check your air filter. If your air filter is clog and dirty, it means your engine is not breathing well and your fuel consumption is likely higher than normal. It is very important to check your air filter especially if you live in Lagos or dusty area. The amount of dust and dirt will be so high that you will need to check your air filter more frequently. Uber drivers in particular need to take note . As car owners and part of DIY . You should know the location of your air filter and how many you will need. If you can't find it try and YouTube it. Replacing your air filter: if you are buying quality air filter. Once it is clog or dirty, you can easily dust it off instead of replacing. But if the dirt is too much and worn out it is best to replace it.... Below is my infiniti Air filter replacement. I drove the car for about 4yrs before replacing the air filter. I noticed that am always changing oil without checking the air filter. The old Air filter was still very ok, but I personally decided to change anyways. My car uses 2 air filters. Ps .. please Uber driver please be checking your air filter. The amount of dust your engine collects driving 8hrs or more you be a concern. It will not take you more the 5min to check .

Macmilla:Basic means meaning simple things a car owner should know how to do .. 1. Oil change or at least if you can't change your oil know when the oil level is low by using the dip stick 2. I don't expect people to know how to change their transmission fluid. If your transmission has a dip stick. At least know when fluid needs to be change. Once your transmission fluid is getting darker know that it is time to change. And when it is pinkish in color know that it is still good . Don't wait for a mechanic to tell what to do. Once a mechanic knows that you don't know basic car maintenance. They will take advantage of you. Let me use myself as an example.. About few weeks ago I wanted to do oil change on my car. And my mind was telling me to also check air filter on my car. I didn't know where the air filter was in my car . So i YouTube and found it . I than went to a part store to buy it. I was given 2 air filter. I ask them so my car has 2 air filters ? and they said yes. I was able to change the first 1 . And couldn't find the second. The mechanic that was doing my oil change showed me where the second air filter was It was right opposite the first 1. I was so embarrassed. It shows that I don't know basic things about cars. And usually mechanics will charge you money for those simple things that you can easily do on your own. 3. Knowing your tire pressure and how much air to put. By knowing this you will burn less fuel. Most people don't even know where to check. 4.Changing tires. Most people can't even change tires. Am guilty of this myself 5. Able to tell the difference when your alternator or kick starter is bad. People mix up the two. And if you are not enlightened enough mechanic go take advantage of you.. 6. Changing your windshield wiper, your coolant reservoir etc the list goes on and on ...... Some of these things you can do on your own. And if you can't know when they are due. By periodically checking on them. They are that basic |
id4sho:I go try upload a client 2021 G wagon next week. If the deal goes through . I will make sure the pictures are well detailed .. |
Bola4boy:These are very basic things every car owners should know. There are basic DIY that every car owner should be able to do. Now if your car is Grade A tokunbo, from experience Nigerian car dealer sabi buy good cars. It will be an opportunity for the car owner to keep up with the basic DIY of a car. There will be no need to buy brand new car. Just maintain the car and know basic car maintenance. |
Macmilla:We had this topic few years ago. And someone recommended using distilled water from your home ac system. This is a lot better than using tap water that has a lot of dirt and particles that will clog the your radiator. Distilled water will not do that. Distilled water will kill your engine slowly and surely... But overall original coolant has always been the best choice regardless of the weather conditions your car operates. I am sure over 80% of Nigerian cars on the road uses water. That is why you see cars on the road overheating. Like William Shakespeare says to be or not to be . That should be the question. Or better in this case to use tap water , distilled water, coolant . Tap water.... Using tap water as form of coolant will kill you engine. And your mechanic will know your by first names bases. You and your car will become best friends with the mechanic.. And rust plus corrosion will be the order of the Day. Na to dey buy radiator, water pump or double cell radiator every now and than... Distilled water......using distilled water instead of coolant. Will basically offers a little better protection than tap water Coolant/antifreeze........This is the best choice for your engine and radiator. The coolant operates at temperature that will help prevent over heating of engine. It will not cause your radiator to rust like tapwater or distilled water. And you won't have to worry about corrosion. And coolant can give you at least 3years of engine protection. Some car owners that bought tokunbo cars years ago are still using the coolant that came with the car And plus our Nigerian mechanic will tell you that you don't need coolant for your car o. Coolant and thermostat is for abroad weather 😭😭. If I decided to import 40ft container of radiator today . Before my container land Lagos ladipo buyers full ground. Before it reach self it would have sold.. some parts seller in ladipo only deal with radiator... So choose your poison carefully..
|
revived2:When u ready sha make I know, I fit order am for you and ship for 20ft container |
Richhard:I didn't receive any mail from anyone. My email is dru23@hotmail.com Am operating fully from the USA now. So my naija business line might not be working efficiently |
SoftSport:You are part of the people that I say Nigerians deserves the type of leader they get. People like you are the reason you are suffering from the hands of T Pain. Once you fail to hold your leaders accountable for their actions. The society starts to fail and chaos will be the order of the Day...... Regardless of what happen the lawmaker as no right to put hands on anyone, unless the law maker his defending himself. I don't see such in this case and the lawmaker should be held to a higher standard. In the video you can clearly see and hear the lawmaker threaten the Uber/bolt driver. Which alone is a criminal offense. The lawmaker stated that nothing will happen to him. And he boasted that the head of police will not do nothing.. He has already stated directly/indirectly he is above the law... For you now to say that we should wait for the lawmaker side of story, shows me that you are part of the problem in Nigeria. You are perfect example of why Nigerians deserves the type of leaders they have now and the economical hardship they are facing... I pity nobody.........

escohido123:This is compatible with all cars 35k . Most coolant in the market now is basically colored water..... And if you can't afford it . try using the water that drips from the a/c of your home. At least this is better than using ordinary water.... But coolant should be your number 1 choice
|
DarkRider:5w20.. since u buy am naija use . It is more than likely it's been abused and no point using the recommended 5w20. Use Mobil mineral oil 20w50 and change every 3k Miles.... |
Castrol has a new look ...better and improved quality. Keep the calls 🤙 coming for 65k per gallon. You can't get a better elsewhere. Ford car owners this the recommended oil for your car
|
megatran:No wahala.. Just try and save up for grade A tokunbo. It should be easy to get. Since na from Germany and Germany is close to naija . so it should not cost that much compare to getting from Yankee..... Make sure whoever is changing the Tokunbo is work area is free from dirt to avoid Contamination . And you always sell the old transmission back to parts seller . that should help reduce the cost of tokunbo that you are buying |
Good day my beautiful people....... Your PENNZOIL and Castrol engine oil is now available .... It is going for 65k per gallon for now .. Due to the weak naira it might continue to go up ......... Mobil fuelling station are selling their imported oil from Egypt for 71500k... While my imported engine oil from the USA better quality ......... Choose wisely.............my price are not negotiable Xc90 car owners this is your chance to buy quality and genuine Castrol engine oil. The price will soon go up due to weak naira. The choice is urs.....
|
megatran:Am curious to know the gear oil you use. You can't just use any Benz gear oil. Each oil has its own specification example......MB 236.15 MB. 236.17 MB. 236.21 The one I bought for a client is use for. ML350 2013 it has the year range of ML you can use it for. So take that into mind. You don't usually hear of Benz having gear issues as long as you use the genuine fluid. It is better to park the car and save money for a Grade A tokunbo transmission. I repeat avoid fixing that transmission. If any mechanic tells you he can fix the transmission please take race and run from that mechanic. There is no point fixing it and after 3months back to square........ Once you are able to get a tokunbo transmission please use the appropriate Benz fluid that matches with the year of the Benz. Make sure when the mechanic fixing the transmission has a clean environment to avoid Contamination to avoid you going back to square 1...... Benz is not easy to maintain, na person wey chop belly full dey drive Benz.. my client that I got the gear oil spend over 250k for the. Original gear oil from Benz dealership....
