ndubuisi2021: How is it easy for you guys to switch from one accent to the other? I really don't get it. Speak English accurately the way you learnt it, pronounce words correctly. No one will disrespect you for doing that. You don't necessarily have to sound Nigerian and you do not need to start feigning accents
Most of these Nigerians, when you try to correct them about faking of American accent, they always claim that whites do not understand them when they talk the normal way. That's false. They understand you very well when you speak good English and pronounce words correctly. Just learn how to speak and write English not accent
Okonja Iwala, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, they all control whites with their natural accent and rose to the very top. But low lives have serious issues with themselves.
I'm bored at home abeg, let me go out before I derail this thread. Let me educate you a little bit......... Once u lived in abroad for a long time. The tendency is high to pick mimic ur surroundings. If you live among black Americans , U end up sounding like them and picking up their bad use of English ........ Than if you work in a professional environment with White people you will pick up the use of their English . You will learn how to properly pronounce words. This has to do with ur surroundings etc ....... When am in naija , my pigin English is very rusty. But once I blend into the environment. It becomes better and better and shaper.. Now imagine if I go North for 6months and I live among the natives. I will be able to pick their language and also the Northern accent will kick in. My pigin English will sound like Hausa/fulani person . This boils down on the environment you are in .. And the lent of time you were there. Some Nigerians that I know have huge accent. For them to improve on their English. They disassociate themselves from Nigerian friends or limit themselves and blend in more with White folks. This helps them improve their English. Now this are the ones with thick Nigerian accent. There was an interview Wizkid did few years ago . And at this point he has moved to the UK . people were accusing him of "forming" speaking with British accent etc. He lives with his baby mama/ manager. He has a kid with her. He will for sure pick up little British accents here and there. It is the environment he is in , so u can't blame him ......... Now when am in Nigeria and am in professional settings like banking, hospital etc . The USA accent comes out here and there. It is not that am forming or doing big boy. It is the way I talk even to my parents. And than if am really upset at somebody it comes out even more............ So young man kindly read with an open mind. Read to understand

kanuisagoat: Rude? He handled it in the best possible way without saying a word.
Hoodlum drivers would have taken down their glass and told her to stop asking stupid questions.
Your sister knows how to book and she sure knows how to rate 1 star but she does not know how to check her vehicle details on the app and you're here blaming the driver that handled it in a very professional way by keeping quiet.
As I said, your sister will not ask the next driver to wind down. The driver has passed his message across and your sister has gotten it. There is way you handle things professionally .. Do you know how many times customers will call me and ask stupid questions . Some will do like they are doing me favour because they are buying oil from me . Some will order products and not pay . The way some of these customers talk to me some times is degrading . But I still calm down and be patient with them. And I hate speaking with an American accent at times.i try to come down to people's level . but once I change it for them with USA accent in a firm and respectful tone of voice . They usually calm down and talk to me with more respect. So at times you have to use different approach for each customers. But overall staying calm and keeping control is the most important thing. Have worked for years in customer service industry . So my customer service skill is pretty good ..... |

Dailyparrot: The driver can educate her without being rude. What if the driver is different from the picture in the app.
For security reasons, there's no crime in winding down the glass and talking with your rider before they enter the car. From the bottom of my heart God bless you in health, wisdom . when you have wisdom you have riches.....
So many times on these forum . drivers have confirm that you can use multi drivers on a car ( fraud) At times what the rider sees on their app is different. What they actually see in front of them...... For safety reasons I applaud your sister.. You can't trust nobody in Nigeria. Doing festival season especially, person need to be cautious. People out there are desperate for money. And they can use all types of tricks and manner
Again I applaud your sister.. She did nothing wrong |

honsule: When I bought my corolla car, the previous owner was using 20w50. I decided to change the oil to a synthetic 5w30. I have read and watch several videos about changing oil and using the right one. I decided to stick with the manufacturer's recommended oil of 5w30. Car running smoothly, consume less fuel, since the last time I serviced it in November, 2021 The reason why the car runs smoothly is less friction .. The 5w30 oil is able to easily get into the engine running parts and lubricate easier and faster. This will allow your car to respond faster when you put ur foot on the petal . less friction= faster response Unlike 20w50 thicker oil, takes longer to lubricate all moving parts of the engine . The reason why it consumes more fuel than 5w30. This is due to thickness of the oil , the oil pump is working harder than its suppose to . this allowing it to consume more fuel . continue using the recommended oil and u will enjoy the car . |

Felicity0001: This is motor oil we are talking about here Sir, and it needs time weather fake or good b4 the ripple effects starts showing up and according to you, your engine almost packed up, meaning you've been buying fake product from a supposed trusted person all along... Reason I asked, since you're giving a 2nd chance did you continue buying from him to see if truly he actually did the right thing by shipping in the right goods? But your answer is NO! So where is the 2nd chance here Sir? Sir with all due respect you didn't give a 2nd chance and your covering a criminal.
Okay did this person in question come back to gaun your trust afterwards by maybe giving you free oil f9r like 2-3 oil change making sure you use it to gain back his credibility? If he didn't that means he has lot of queations to answer.
We all know what our business men in 9ja do to make wealth, they go to China and ship in inferior goods and since our borders are porous, our MAN is inactive they bribe their way through and sell these products like they're genuine products and get rich over night.
You do that to me and I find out trust me your empire will burn down. After banning you  saga continues |

Simulator: Hello everyone,
I need your assistance to enable me make a business decision. My brother approached me today to buy a car with which he could start uber business. My budget is between 1,5 and 1,8 million.
My intention is that he pays the money every week/month until I recover the purchase amount. The problem is that there's no way I could physically monitor his performances/activities. I would have to rely solely on what he tells me because we don't live in the same country.
Could you please give me suggestions as regards how profitable the business is, the pitfalls to avoid and how realistic it would be to recover my investment within a year or a little above that.
I'd really appreciate your inputs. Thanks for your time drivers..... Drivers drivers drivers drivers.......drivers.....Drivers.......Drivers.....drivers .....mechanics ........mechanics...........mechanics......drivers ..... Drivers.........drivers............mechanics......... |

kanuisagoat: I have not bought from him since that incidence but I had been buying from him for a year before that incidence. If you've been buying something from someone for a year without issues, it's not fair to call out the person at the first sign of trouble. You give them another chance and that's what I did
Please don't get me wrong. I only recommended 20w50 if and only if you can't guarantee the source of Mobil 1. I have not lost hope on all importers of oil. As of today, there are only two people I can buy their oil namely dru23 and radautoworks. This is not to say every other oil seller apart from these two sell fake but someone they trust might be blindsiding them. While the same is still possible for the two I use, chances are much slimmer.
I agree with this a hundred percent.
I will not be doing that and have given several reasons for that.
If oil dried in an engine in just a few days, there's only one explanation. Its either the engine is dead or the oil leaked away. I am less inclined to believe its the oil.

selfmadeOLX: It’s all good chief
Still in need of information. Price of the veracruz engine 3.8L V6 and the transmission FWD
Worst case scenario  Engine is about 400k that is my guess o transmission I don't know ....... Buying tokunbo engine or transmission is really 50/50. Coz u don't know the authenticity of the engine. And most times they are Naija used sold as tokunbo. Unless u see them offloading from the container ..... That been said if you can get a good vearcruz with 100k miles or 160k depending on the year . Than you are good. .......... The veracruz is not longer in production. And production date starts from 2007 to 2012. Some come with full option dvd, navigation, leather etc .. Nice ride |
