Please I need advice on the purchase of a 2006 Mercedes benz B 200 manual drive.

I am concerned with reliability and availability of parts.

Are the parts cross shopped with other models since it is not very common.

peter obi that stole over 100 billion from Anambra alone should come and rule Nigeria? rubbish

How much is Anambra state budget for 8 years

Stop the ludicrous smear campaign.

That is a Rav4.
This is painful and drivers must be alert this dry season.

steppin:
Ordinary dangling Street light?

This is the annoying mentality of Nigerians that have put us where we are.

This is a big fat white lie.

Ebonyi rice goes for between 15,000-16,500 for a 50kg bag.

I was sharpening my mouth to yab but on seeing the picture,I just zip am up.

So people still engage in cultism.
Sad

I live in the USA and have been to every state in the USA but i must confess, there no big difference between USA and Nigeria

I came home last year and i couldn't believe what i saw, everywhere is fast developing

I love Nigeria more than the USA

Nigeria is just 55 years old and by how things look, in the next couple of years this country will be the best country on the planet

You won't understand if you haven't been out of Nigeria

You will be eager to leave Nigeria and the very day you leave Nigeria, you will just wanna go back

God bless Nigeria

Self deception or grandiose delusion I wonder the culprit here.

Nice family.

Igbo women rock.

Black Friday doesn't mean that they are going to give away their goods for free.

It is simply a way of offloading relatively old stock and slow movers that have been on the shelf for a while, and in doing so they can throw in a couple of other good bargains.

If you get to the store and you don't see something worth your while then move on. Everything cannot be on sale.

I got some very good deals that I'm pretty satisfied with, because I understand the concept.

Same in Enugu https://www.nairaland.com/3485541/black-friday-shoppers-go-crazy

Cats are an endangered species in Edo state.

Recycling the same old rogues.

Disgusting.

This how the washed out president came on board and piloted Nigeria into the abyss now he is suggesting another corrupt buffoon.

Shoppers stormed the various stores in Enugu as early as 8am in order to grab a good bargain that comes once in a while.

By 9am the parking lot at the Polo park mall was filled up and if you weren't lucky to get into the stores early you will meet empty shelves, as Game and Shoprite were offering good deals.
If you did manage to buy something getting to pay for them became another uphill task as the queues were endless with shoppers waiting for several minutes to hours to get to pay.

Who doesn't want a good bargain in this recession?

Newsi:
I'm slightly disappointed with the current governor of Enugu state. It looks like he has totally abandoned the Enugu metropolis. The coal city which used to be one of the most beautiful and functional cities in Nigeria is now becoming a shadow of itself. Dust everywhere, roads riddled with potholes, traffic lights nonfunctional, street and roadside traders taking over everywhere and no landmark infrastructural project since taking over. Pls those who are close to the governor should bring this to his attention.

I am heavily disappointed not slightly.

Anyone who wishes Enugu State to progress and ignores the capital which is a regional hub is a big joker.

The influx of investors into the state that occurred during the last administration was mainly hinged on the aggressive overhaul of the state capital.
In fact this thread arose basically because of that and we can see it is dying a natural death just like the city.

I am not saying that other parts of the state should not be developed but the obvious neglect of the capital apparently in lieu of these other parts is very sad. Ugwuanyi doesn't seem to share the idea of creating a regional powerhouse that Chime did.

Basic maintenance of infrastructure is at its lowest ever. Virtually all the street lights are gone. This has singularly caused the plummeting of certain business activities. Nonfunctional trafficlights as you said.



He has an abysmal view on maintenance which is something he should embrace as a cheaper option in recession.
He is just inching closer to ultimate failure as a governor.

I hope he doesn't feel second tenure will be handed him on a platter. Gone are those days.

justscorchone:
I'm the lankiest in my gym yet I lift 50kg effortlessly,trust me when I say men dey.he was just at the right place where such things are rewarded.thats all

He weighs 90kg.

That is what weight category means.
It doesn't mean he lifted 90kg.

lalaboi:
This is so wrong and it's the biggest misconception.

If you like go US or UK and be driving anyhow, by the time you are hit with points deduction on your license and you eventually lose your license you will know that driving in Naija isn't the same as other countries.

But i get it if you were being sarcastic. .

Thank you so much.

85% of the so called "smart" drivers will lose their licenses within a week if they step into a sane society.

Just look at all that weed.

Yet it is okay to shove Sharia law down the throats of non-muslims.
It is okay to form Islamic police and sharia courts who operate outside of the constitution in a secular nation.

The Nissan juke and Hyundai veloster just had a baby.

The gate and walls of your compound did not stop the spirit, the door to your living room did not stop the spirit, even the door to your Dad's room did not prevent the spirit from entering. So it took an ordinary flexible mosquito net to stop him? . Op, kontinu.

Still wondering why a spirit will want to lift a net when he didn't need a bulldozer to get in at first.

Anyways, may your Dad never see evil, touch evil or hear evil (AMEN).

I laughed my self to stupor when I read this.

This has to be the stewpidest headline I've read in recent ties. The write up is even more stewpid.

How can one be "caught" withdrawing money from an obviously frozen account. To cap it up the avenue for the apprehension is a standing order, which even if it was actually issued, may have been done eons ago.

Klinee:
If
he like let him go to ZIMBABWE wet concern us

The company leaving Nigeria means loss of jobs.

You are probably not mentally capable of assimilating the multiplier effect of the loss of a single job, not to talk of tens or hundreds. So I wouldn't blame your silly comment.

Ugwuanyi don trim down.
Hope it will help him think better.

Seun:
I'm proud of the record-breaking achievements of the students of The Ambassadors College, Ota, who won all the prizes in both categories. I'm also proud of the staff and owners of The Ambassadors College who invested so much to make this happen, especially my brother and parents.

Saw it on AIT.

Once I saw Osewa I just felt it was linked to Seun in someway.

Your family is gifted I must say.

Why displaying ur ignorance freely to Nairalanders? That's not a portion from the Qur'an, it's actually an Arabic way of saying' Victory is from God alone'
Come to think of this: why is there a cross on red cross logo?
Why is there a cross on Nigerian navy's logo? Are they meant for Christians?

The red cross is originally a private organization founded by 2 Swiss nationals. The organization grew and birthed the IFRC and red crescent. The red crescent arose because they needed acceptance from Muslim countries.

mrdeey:
This is just unfortunate... While some of you will choose to call her a realist, I think she ought to be sacked... She has no business being the boss over the company she believes lacks the capacity of making any serious achievement.
Every thing we see around us today was once thought to be impossible. What she lacks is the knowledge of how to bring about the desired change.

It costs between 260 - 400 million naira to generate1 MW of electricity in Nigeria using LNG which for now is one of the fastest and cheapest means in Nigeria. https://www.nairaland.com/1474680/gov-fashola-spends-n400-million

This means that to generate 20 000MW it will cost about 5.6 to 8 trillion naira.

Now our projected revenue as a country for 2016 is 3.86trillion. http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/68567/
What this means is that if we spent all our income as a country from 2016 to 2019 on nothing but power we just might be able to generate 20000MW. Or we may fall short if our income dips.

Do you see why she said it is impossible to achieve this by 2020?

naptu2:
He had his own tv show, he often presented Kiddie Vision 101/Speak Out and he had an album (all these happened c1989-1993).

Oh yes!

Kiddie Vision.
Thanks for the memories.

Meanwhile I stumbled across this.

SIDE A
1. Wings of a Dove
2. Don't Treat Me Like a Child
3. Diocha
SIDE B
1. Lagos Town
2. Going To School
3. Layo Layo

Jnrbayano, eaglechild and merahki It has just occurred to me that most of our very popular child stars (singers) are female.

There was Yvonne Maha in the early 1980s.

Tosin Jegede in the mid 80's to early '90s.

Chichi of Africa in the late '80s and early '90s.

Benita Okojie in the mid '90s to early 2000s.

And now there's Amarachi.

The only boy that was a bit successful was Kola Masha and he was not half as famous as the girls listed above.

Kola Masha definitely rings a bell but I can't remember any of his songs.


He was on a TV show I believe.

merahki:
Hi...this is for @ jnrbayano too
I think it's ?Yvonne Maha
If I am right, it is cos I had a girl crush on her!
I wanted to be her...with her afro and squeaky way of saying "gini ka I na eme oge ncha!?"
Lol

I also wanted to be that girl with Michael Jackson in "Thriller"...and that girl in that great "Belinda" song by an unknown singerfm
Sorry for derailing @ naptu2

(Modified) Oh...there is Chichi of Africa too
Well...I could have sworn it was by Yvonne, cos her songs were in a series, and the videos would play one after the other on NTA...but I bow to your knowledge...cheers

Yes I also thought it was Yvonne Maha that sang "gini ka I na eme oge ncha because it usually played alongside her other songs.

But Naptu2 says it was Chichi of Africa.

I suspect Yvonne has her own version.

Enugu is beginning to wear a cloak of darkness at night.

It's well lit streets are fast disappearing and driving at night is no longer as pleasurable and safe as it used to be.

I believe the present governor,Ugwuanyi, just feels that streetlights and traffic lights are some form of unnecessary decoration.
He doesn't know that they are a very critical aspect of urban development.

Streetlights help in drastically reducing crime and it enhances nightlife and the economy of the city.

Presently the bulbs are not being replaced. Even Okpara Square axis, presidential road and many major roads remain pitch dark. This is what we NEVER experienced in the past administration.
It is just a matter of time before hoodlums take over these places at night.

All the governor needs to do is MAINTAIN the facilities on ground but even this is proving too difficult.

People always shouted about how "clannish" these peeps can get but I waved it off. I guess I was wrong.
