OP, we have been here and seen it all

Long before it degenerate to the below;

Taniods vs Janjaw**dians, change chanters

From Atikulators, Atiku is cumming vs BMCs

Till this very era of Obidients, Atikulators vs Agbadorians, Tinubu orchins and minions

Nairaland good old days until now that it has become a catastrophe
True. I wonder why the founder sat back and watched it become a cesspit. These days I dont even open political topics anymore and now use Twitter more.

My Civic 08 gets just about 400km on full tank.
Mechanic changed the fuel pump filter, but it has done nothing. He scanned too, brought nothing.

AutoManual:
As far as your exhaust manifold doesn’t have any leak. Absence of catalyst or oxygen sensor will not consume fuel.

accord v6 has 4 oxygen sensor and 3 catalyst.

But my accord only has 1 catalyst at the bottom. The two upper catalyst is missing.

Now 1 downstream oxygen sensor was bad.

I still manage to pull 17-18mpg city driving.

When my exhaust was leaking it was consuming fuel. But all this while I thought it was the catalyst. But since I went to fix the exhaust leak i was getting 18mpg with real liters of fuel not the fake from filling station.

I waited for the yellow light to come on. Drive to filling station and bought the original 3 gallon 12 liters. You can buy into container to be sure it’s actually original liters you pour inside.

When I drive and the yellow light come up. To my calculations its 17-18mpg. Despite absence of catalyst and 1 bad o2 sensor.
Is 18mpg really good for a sedan?

It's funny the citizens will be held responsible for a plate number that is fading , the same government that gave the low quality plate number expect u to be responsible and pay for another plate.Why can't we just repaint the plates?
If you can do it perfectly, I doubt anyone would notice.

If you leave any people, American or Nigerian, without purposeful leadership, the system will collapse and all these issues will begin to emerge
You're right but who voted these leaders? Are the leaders not Nigerians too? They didn't just appear from nowhere.

Werey picking on a yoruba governor for wearing a watch is tribalism, other governors are wearing watches, shoes and other expensive things. Those guys were never poor before they became governors.
I was rich in Nigeria even if I'm not here in the UK, I'm still rich. UK made their money from slavery and colonisation. I don't give a shit If you are yoruba and I never asked you. Nairaland is not a platform to confirms ppls true tribe or identity so to hell with you. Una go vex tire, envious and jealous souls.
Keep ranting.
Tribalist leeching on a multicultural prosperous society. Yeye.

when people don't agree with fools like you, you will be quick to relate others with your family curse (poverty). for your information i owner a house in ajah, 2 in Abeokuta, a company and 40 hectares of land (farming). i am currently negotiating for 30 hectares and fingers crossed all will go well and i will secure it soon. so tell me how poverty and poor as dealt with me?. do poor people own properties or assets? mind you i live in the UK and I work as a tech consultant. please check the exchange rate because the last time I did, it was £1=1161 naira, so please tell me how I'm I poor.

Do you know the correlation between Lagos revenue to growth? what does that have to do with a man wearing a watch. if it was another governor from another region you will look away but because of your hate and envy toward lagos and sanwo olu you are hear telling us trash.
The UK made you rich but all you do is tribalism on Nairaland.
Why are Nigerians this wicked? I'm sure you'd complain about racism if affected.
Do you think the UK would grow to be so beneficial to you if so divided?
I'm a Yoruba man btw. undecided

The emboldened is wrong. That was what a lot of people thought until I discovered there's a simple trick to make those 4G Only networks on Xiaomi devices, and that was why I created the attached video 5 years ago, and it worked for everyone who tried it.

Nothing works with spectranet. You must use their device.

My own problem is how the pickers snub somebody. sad
After looking for deal for a long time, they'll reply after 24 hours that it has probably been sold. Any msg after that, another 12 to 24hr snub. Na wa o.
Thought I could do business with this but can't even complete a single order for a week. Lmao.

Family › Re: Can You Marry Someone Your Family Members Arranged For You? by Elxandre(m): 11:03pm On Aug 14, 2023
I think a big reason it has low divorce rate is the amount of stake both families have in the marriage. You're practically married to the other family in an arranged marriage and must try your best not to be seen as "irresponsible".
Make no mistake though, remaining married does not mean a happy marriage.

I can see the advantages but to say there are no disadvantages is false.

Buy the S20 if you plan to use it for more than 2 years.
The S9 probably has weak degrading batteries by now.

sowunmisho:
Quite a personal topic for me. I had thought about this long before fuel prices went up and all that. These are a few to guide You
1. Ford Escape (>=2013)
2. Ford ecosport (a 2wd vehicle though)
3. Honda HRV >=2016 (excellent choice)
4. Honda CRV >=2017 (excellent choice)
5. Lexus RX450H (not 2l engine but hybrid, gets good gas mileage).

Most suvs are not fuel efficient, one has to manage 1 out of the lot. I keep dreaming of one suv 2b created that has good fuel economy, maybe I should stop dreaming now.
Actually the newest SUVs have better fuel economy than most of our older sedans. Especially the 4cyl turbo engine SUVs.
I was shocked to see 33mpg for a recent glc 300 model.

Edit. Not sure of the SUV model I saw.
