EI,

My new motto go be "Help foto sell his bike and get a commission!!"

Wonder why that sound familiar

FotoD,

E be like say u wan die of snake poisoning, na im be dat
If e no sound familiar, then follow Reptyle im advice (una names get as e be sha)

BTW, how much commission person fit get for dat ya bike sef - 10% at best sales price no too plenti

Oblo,

Where in Lagos? Look no further than Nairaland (url below)   

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-149929.0.html

nkc:
is that yur patthy near d mdx

Hmm! Not absolutely sure of the shape, but last time we saw the Pathy, she was a maroon/red complexioned lady.

But you never can tell if she has recently taken an interest in skin lightening creams (bleaching)            

FotoD,

Today dey busy for me sha. I just finish one teleconf just now (e dey on when u call 45mins ago) and as I just wan enter Nairaland see ya action, na im Jenju call me from Yankee to inform me.

I hear u sha. I don see the reference Thread wey u put. I just fear for ya sake O!   
Na u I dey pity, because even thinking of that kin thing fit purge u sef      
because any move to effect that kin thing go just recreate Darfur (Lungwun don teach me bad thing  ) for ya side O!

Anyhow I no go tempt either fate or you, so tomorrow na de end date. You too dey nice to expire just like that   

Meanwhile u dey fear to carry ya Pathy put near de MDX?   
I fit assure u say de MDX no dey bite   
No worry, people no go compare too much, because them go understand say one (silver) na de big brother of de other one (maroon/red)   

fotodaddy:
If you do, then you are invited to join us as we go off-roading this weekend.

All you need to join us is your truck!!!

Rav4s , CRVs and other pretenders are not allowed (except you can show us your 20m long lowing chain!!! )

So u mean say nkc no fit bring dat VW (forever) Passat

Definition of truck na like beauty O! Na relative term

nkc:
ei

i dig , i am using my passat as comparison

d way u finished jenju is tight, because i too know the SAN, from investigation and the lawyer in question is abj, is his SON, who will be a SAN if he so wishes

i wish i was member of that said crime organization, men i need d money

all i can say is JENJU is REAL aka K

INSPIRED is REAL aka B or E

VIPERMAN is REAL aka L or S or A or P ( viper u know naaaa )

and etc, Dis 3 I Have Spoken To & Communicated To Very Well

nkc,

E be like say u no like Jenju at all. U wan frighten D off abi na wetin?   

Because (taking a cue from waoosa), the scenario below could easily form on anyone's mind:
since Jen(u)ju is not working, you may
be inspired to rope buyer in
either through more raps, Viperman bite or aka(47)  

Thank God say J don try redeem his image as e see dis as priority, i.e. posting before digging into his customary early morning Kenyan coffee

nkc,

Danderson's issue is actually with the Acura, not your Passat.

Remember Jenju advertised a sample car about the time I was sealing my deal, where the sample had a darker shade than mine. His confusion if indeed he has not read through the Thread, is quite natural.

PS: We also must understand his caution - quite natural in the circumstance (considering our degraded rare-trust environment), because nkc, fotodaddy and EI (etc) may as well be Jenju's stooges and members of a larger crime ring trying to fleece innocent Nairalanders of their hard earned cash!   

My personal advise to Danderson:
- I didn't know Jenju from Adam (same with Inspired) before this year. I've not met them live!, but I've many time spoken with and transacted businesses with them , and still believe they are for real!
- Jenju's lawyer is there with you in Abuja, so I suggest you set up a meeting with him (or visit the law firm - seeing is believing!). Except the name of the law firm is a fake, my wife assured me to continue with the transation (in the early days of firming my deal with Jenju), because during the period of her practice in Kano 17-19yrs ago, she had some interactions with the law firm (whose HQ is/was in Kano). She knew the founding partner who incidentally was the first SAN in the whole of the North
- Jenju's lawyer is the Managing partner of the firm now, and that should be enough trust

danderson:
Guys,

From a close analysis, the colour of the last picture (El's Acura), which is silver ash, was it not contradicting the colour of the first posted MDX; black and also, i taught the vehicle was en-routed to reach the final user but it seems to me that it's on a car stand. Anyway i am taking measures,

Mr Danderson,

I guess you have not followed the Thread closely; maybe saw the originating contribution by poster and jumped to page 5 . In between have been four pages and a lot of discussions - please find time and read through   

My color was always the metallic silver from when it was purchased, through when it was prepared for shipping till this minute where it is supposedly at "a car stand"   

Have a great day

fotodaddy:
EI, wetin dey happen?? I never see your people.

I dey commot for town on Thursady again ooo!!! SO arrange yourself accordingly.

Yesterday night, we don arrange ourselves, abi?  

nkc:
i can't see any poto poto

all i see are mush rooms

No worry, na logistics dey keep dat thing for Eko. When de thing enter my hand, you go see plenti poto-poto  

jenju:
Your choice of MDX is a good one, I really enjoyed driving EI's (EI, no vex na only about 100miles I put on top). I look forward to delivereing yours soon.

100miles?! 
You even sure say e no pass that? Dat na wetin even me de owner never match sef   

I no mind as long as the monetisation in lieu of warranty, dey kampe 

pastorking:
EI,

You are yet to show us the Nigerian pics of this car. Am I correct? People I told about this deal are still watching.

Pastorking,

I understand and the rules remain valid and apply to me. As a man of God (hoping you are not an offshoot of the famous bearded one), it will be easy for you to understand the message in Habakkuk 2:3b, which is currently appropriate  

inspired_m:
EI,

Congrats on your Acura.

I'm working out your Tint permits, Infact, I want the Insp. Gen. of Police to endorse it himself, so you go dey receive apologies at every check point.

Congrats once again, Jenju is Good @ it.

"so you go dey receive apologies at every check point."

Bros,

Or na de other way round, say people don connect the purchase of cars to stock market

jenju:
EI: 

Your ride is undergoing customs clearance and should be available for delivery in a few days. 

Guys! Una dey so ?

The good news is that the car, the Acura MDX (what this Thread is all about  ) has been safely cleared out of Lagos port today       

Some hours ago when my brother checked it out (and drove in it), confirmed the 0dB information Jenju gave earlier on. He repeatedly held on to two phrase as he described his experience, thus:
- "it was toooo beautifullll"
- "I was soooo impressed"

Na wah O! 
We thank God for His grace and provisions.

Many thanks and hurrays to:
- Jenju, for delivering on his promises
- Fotodaddy, for so much Lagos support resolutions (TOO MUCH MONEY!  )
- Inspired, for kind support wrt fixing the tinted glass permits (I no want olopa wahala  )

As the standard here is (incidentally initially proposed by myself  ), the pictures with Naija poto-poto will follow later   

PS: One of my colleagues is challenging Jenju to a repeat order for something very similar.
Well it is his choice to insist on my source; but I've posited my warning to Jenju that Inspired and Viperman are seriously on standby, if he fails to agree a good deal    

nkc:
da bulls are coming, amen

Amen O! We see de bears dey run away, but na only de sound of the bulls we dey hear.
We still dey wait to see dem appear in their numbers 

BTW, wetin come happen for dis sale na? Our people no wan patronise u abi na wetin?

Please, buy with 100% confidence because we are selling with 100% confidence. We've sold over 60 cars on Nairaland , if there are any questions you might be concerned about, please ASK! Thank You.

Pally,

Cool ride. One person I know wey be dey plan dis kind specs (type/mileage and cost) still dey receive treatment for SEC/NSE hospital - if no be say de bulls enter de arena fast, de bears almost kill am patapata

Waoosa,

No wahala. Watch ya back make those boys no go use you for ransom

sultaan:
Do not burn your money on chinese cars, some of you quickly forgot that Daewoo was as common on Naija road as 504 sometime back, now there are none(all fell apart N1.2m down the drain)

Fighting back tears, she alleged while narrating her story to The Guardian that she was trapped inside the vehicle with her two children. "It took the intervention of passerby to rescue my children from the car." Chidi-Ogbolu alleged

Explaining further, she said she got a buyer for the SUV recently, adding that "I had to change my mind. Selling the car would have amounted to a sin ,  It is unfair to sell that car to an unsuspecting buyer.

"Your new assurance is not enough for me. As I stated in that letter, the car is a source of nightmares and continuous mental anguish for my family. I reiterate that I have no confidence that the car can safely take me to my destination.

"I formally demand a refund of the sum of N3.2 million being the cost of purchase of the car" said Chidi-Ogbolu.

Wahala dey O!      

I'm neither suprised (that Chery products are turning sour) nor shocked (at the Tiggo-based petition).

Chery Motors had an exhibition in my Coy's premises half a year ago and when I raised a few issues, some colleagues (who naturally like many of us, love cheap things) almost ate me up! 

My issues were in respect of total cost of ownership - initial price (cheap, with a catch?!), maintainability/mtce costs, reliability (think about the mental anguish and emotional/psychological trauma Mrs. Ogbolu has suffered  ; whose actual cost is unquantifiable!) etc.

I couldn't place my hands on it, but something just doesn't give one any comfort thinking about these Chery vehicles; at first I thought it was a simple case of wrongly motivated personal prejudice against many things Chinese.

There must always be a balance between economy and value/reliability. For me, the reliability factor is quite a high priority - only a man who has had moto-troubles like myself in the '90s, can really understand. Because at such instances:
- domestic housekeeping efforts suffer
- dreams in the league of high-fever generated nightmares become more common 
- anxiety with symptoms akin to being kicked in the gut (sometimes heart palpitation), become common experience, sometimes even for routine runs   
etc.

The plus however is that such vehicles revive your spiritual life - more focussed intervention prayers   

Incidentally a colleague of mine that lives down my street has a QQ, which he praises to high heavens. Last time we discussed the car, he shared how he travelled the East-West highway with his wife, babies and a friend!
I bow for that kind faith sha   

waoosa:
Adesolar,
Better you get the permit to avoid delay and unneccessary embarrassment. Though permit for tinted is supposed to be free but you can trust our police.

Supported! Many times you can't apply reason, enforce your rights, or bluff your way through with threats, when caught by the MIB (men in black) at our highways over all sorts of frivolities.   

I'll suggest Ade.solar follows up with the seller of his Presidential Option Accord   and get his permit.
At least Inspired has been nice to offer his assistance; something I've also tapped into for my Jenju's special 

Meanwhile I can give a good guess that waoosa is a member of SCiN. If yes, he may wish to drop me a line anytime through waeig0 id - dis suppose to be coded language even though I know say hackers plenti for here    

inspired_m:
[color=#000099][b]ade.solar

seems you're worried because of your factory laminated windows on the 07 Accord

Yours is the Presidential Option so no Police dares stop you

Naija Police dey fear that type of your car, Its exclusively for the Presidency

However I have a guy that does it for 20k in 3 days, I can provide the after sales service for you.

ade.solar's ride is quite cheap for the features, age and mileage, if indeed no undisclosed issue - congrats to him. But I cannot but marvel at the increasingly polished marketing skills of our wheelers and dealers

"Yours is the Presidential Option so no Police dares stop you" is another master piece
Inspired, make we talk later,

jenju:
EI:

Your ride is undergoing customs clearance and should be available for delivery in a few days.

You engineers need to fix the telecom networks in naija, failure rate is appalling.

J,

That is great news!

I'll call you later today to discuss further - not free now and afternoon looks crowded with various work engagements. Meanwhile my phone has been switched off all morning; it is back on now though,

Siena:
Brother, I don't get you.

Do you mean anything more to add?

Bros,

Actually I thought I was missing the purpose of the Thread ("So, please post your mileage and history, nothing more.
You can post a picture of your odometer if you wish", considering your background as one of our technical consultants    

I thought there was a reason for requested sharing, ala possible further application of complex integrative techniques in profiling such vehicles   

But rereading the originating contribution over, it is clearer now that all you need are posts on mileages and histories for owned vehicles. "Nothing more"! 

nkc:
no problem, yur car will come as planned in a few weeks

Of course it will come, no option

As planned?
In a few days at Lagos port, and a couple of weeks, in my car port

Siena,

Any comment as follow up to basis of Thread? I'm missing that,

Siena:
Wow!

This thread was all about sharing mileage, with pictures, if you wish.
It's just become a random car discussion.
Topic and contents no longer tie together.

Why do folk love offtopic?

Siena,

This has been quite an interesting Thread, with a most interesting intro.
Quite some education when making specific purchase decision for cars used outside Nigeria, because it is tough getting useful data on motorway vs. intra-city based mileage content or impacts - except if readers are contemplating going for vehicles used by local transport companies (KSTA, Midwest lines, Crosslines, RTC, Agofure etc.)

I see you are impatient with current drift, so let me help stabilise your adrenaline rush
I'll proffer some information (note that in NGR you don't get zero mileages for cars delivered outside Lagos), as follows:

Outgoing
Car: 2001 VW Polo Classic 1.6.
Mileage (Km) when purchased: ~600 km Dec 2002.
Mileage (Km) as at now: ~40,000 km.

Current
Car: 2006 Honda Accord.
Mileage (Km) when purchased: ~600 km Dec 2006.
Mileage (Km) as at now: Almost 15,000 km.

Car: 2008 Hyundai Accent.
Mileage (Km) when purchased: 512 km May 2008.
Mileage (Km) as at now: ~1,100 km.

Incoming - is Jenju out there?
Car: 2004 Acura MDX
Mileage (Km) when purchased: ~36,000 km May 2008
Mileage (Km) as at now: ~36,000 km?

So wetin next?
I suppose expect some analyses for wetin I get, or to obtain certificate?
