CandyOps:
2 years later and i'm here lol
My RX300 is after my life at 19mpg and even less considering the catalyst has been obtained

I wan sell am for like 6m put money buy Rav4 2010 version, V4. just say Rav4 dey boring inside and no leg space
Venza 4 plugs nko?

You're not serious. 19mpg for suv you dey cry. 😂
I find it hard to believe such an old car has such good mileage. If what you're saying is true, there is a very big chance your next car won't be as good as that. Many people with camry sef no see that efficiency.

oladipuposadeeq:
the duty on this car are way too high imagine a 2021 tesla model Y make them dey call duty for over 20m I think the actual amount for duty was 32.5m if I am not mistaken for a 2021 tesla model Y now imagine what the duty of this would be 😔

I thought they said no duty or reduced duty on electric cars?

How much is 18 inches? Used

61 million naira for inspection just to buy
Crazy.

If he moves to Saudi, after his first massive contract is over, he'll take a salary cut to renew likely.
If he takes a pay cut to play in big European clubs, he will have a massive name to command ridiculous wages in Saudi at 30.

And no, no big European club is going to look for a 30 year old striker from Saudi as their main striker. If he has no self belief though, he should just go to Saudi. In fact going to Saudi is better than staying at Galatasaray.

We are too mostly money driven like we will take the money with us when we die. Mbappe took a paycut to join Madrid just to make an impact for instance. What's makes it funny is that this guy is already generational wealthy even on present salary. He's probably the highest earning Nigeria footballer ever.

Disenfranchised:
My first son is same age and class but he'll gain admission at 20years. He must spend 2 to 3 years learning a skill. He loves tech by my observation.

20 is too much sir.
18 is okay. 2 years of learning a valuable skill.
Starting to apply for admission is tricky unless you want to enroll him to a private institution with guaranteed admission into his preferred course. Let's not forget ASUU strikes also.
Graduating at 22 is quite reasonable, as he'd have marketable skill and the luxury of age advantage at his side.

Modified. Made a mistake. Thought he'd finish secondary school at 16.
Disregard my previous comment.

nairalanda1:
1. I don't believe he is broke, unless tinubu has stopped paying his pension (see above).

2. He had his certificate all along. (I never voted for Buhari because he has already been in power before, same reason why I never voted for Obasanjo. What did they forget when they were in power?)

The man had his certificate because

1. Nigerian army of the 1960's was admitting a lot of Northerners, true, but they all had their certificates. Na only Buhari come?

2. His school released the continous assesment sheets that WAEC uses as part of determining your grade per subject. If he had not done WAEC or WASC, there would have been no WAEC CA sheets.

3. WAEC gave him a certificate, while in office. That means they had the records to give him the certificate.

4. His WAEC result was poor. If it was oluwole cert, would he have had it beeing so poor.


3. The man is not broke. He also has businesses. LOL.

I don't know if you remember that he got enrolled to the army initially with a note from his school principal vouching for his success in a yet to be released WAEC result back then. He did complete school though but he didn't use it to enlist initially in the army and probably filed it later.

However my problem is not WAEC, my problem is Nigerians voting blindly for people that can't participate in ordinary debates.

Then it’s NOT 48 legnht of pipe as you said bcs 1 length of pipe is about 10ft

You're right. I've been mistakingly writing 150ft.
Gpt recommends 2.5hp minimum.
The surprising thing is I actually met a 1hp pump there previously.
I ended up recoiling it, lasted for a year before plumber suggested I use a 1.5hp.

Hommiekrist02:
I have a 2009 Hyundai Elantra, it turns off after driving for a while or whenever I slow down either at a traffic stop or at any point. I just changed the Car Engine because the previous engine was tapping and not performing well (was having the same issue with the engine and I thought it was engine related issues) I have had different Mechanics look into the issues but still haven’t been resolved. I was hit by a Truck and the front passenger door is damaged. I’m looking to sell it as it is or if someone know what might be the cause and how I can get it fixed, thanks.

As per gpt.


Most probable categories of causes:

Fuel delivery problems

Air intake / vacuum leaks

Idle control issues

Sensors / electronics (engine management)

Transmission-related issues (if it's automatic)


Below are the main suspects and suggested checks, written in straightforward language:


---

1️⃣ Idle Air Control Valve (IAC)

The IAC lets the engine “breathe” at idle.

If it's stuck or dirty, it can cause stalling when slowing or stopping.


✅ Suggestion: Clean or replace the IAC. Most shops can clean it for cheap.


---

2️⃣ Vacuum Leaks

Even a small leak can cause stalling at idle or when letting off the throttle.

Often overlooked if the intake manifold gasket, hoses, or brake booster hose have cracks.


✅ Suggestion:

Have the mechanic do a smoke test to find leaks.

Inspect all vacuum lines carefully.



---

3️⃣ Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor / Throttle Body

Dirty or failing MAF sensor can send wrong air readings, causing stalls when decelerating.

Dirty throttle plates can stick.


✅ Suggestion:

Clean the MAF sensor with MAF-specific cleaner.

Clean the throttle body carefully.



---

4️⃣ Crankshaft or Camshaft Position Sensors

Heat-soak failure is common: they work when cold but fail as the engine warms.

Stalling after driving for a while is classic for these sensors failing intermittently.


✅ Suggestion:

Scan for codes even if the Check Engine Light is off (some codes are pending).

Consider replacing the crank or cam sensors if they’re old or suspect.



---

5️⃣ Fuel Delivery Issues

Weak fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, or bad fuel pressure regulator can cause stalling, especially when stopping.


✅ Suggestion:

Check fuel pressure at idle and while driving.

Replace the fuel filter if it hasn’t been done recently.



---

6️⃣ Engine Grounds / Electrical Connections

After an engine swap, grounds or connectors might not be tight or clean.

Bad grounds can cause random stalling.


✅ Suggestion:

Check and clean all engine ground straps.

Inspect connectors, especially for sensors and the ECU.



---

7️⃣ Transmission Torque Converter Clutch (Automatic Transmission only)

If it stays locked up, the car can stall when stopping (like stopping in gear on a manual without disengaging the clutch).


✅ Suggestion:

Describe your transmission symptoms to the shop.

Have them check the TCC solenoid and related sensors.



---

8️⃣ Check for Trouble Codes

Even if your Check Engine Light is off, there can be stored or pending codes.

Hommiekrist02:
Thanks, but I have had those looked into except the engine seats. I’m aware that one is broken at the front but the mechanic are saying it doesn’t have anything on the Engine’s performance or while the car turns off.

Yeah the engine mount is hardly a reason for that kind of thing

rotecch77:
You mean 48 length of pipes, that is about 500ft bore hole Haa, that your 1.5hp can’t push the water, you will need about 7.5hp or 10hp pump to do the work perfectly ok

But Google says 1.5hp is not bad na.
I was even using 1hp before and it wasn't that bad o.

rotecch77:
Hello good evening, the pump is a very good product.. You need to bring out the pump from the bore hole and placed it inside drum and filled it with water then test it to be sure if it has adequate pressure, if the pressure is fine then it means the bore hole is not supplying enough water … ( low yield bore hole) then you need to call the driller to do the needful

It's quite deep boss. Can't remember the exact length but it took 48 pipes. It's basically the deepest in the area.
Could it still be low yield?

rotecch77:
If the problem is not severe, do open all your bathroom taps while pumping the water to allow the air lock free.
If the problem continues see your plumber for throughly checking

Boss, I just bought a brand new interdab 1.5hp pumping machine. Surprisingly it's not functioning well. At first we thought maybe the light is not powerful enough to pump it becusee I checked and saw it was 200v from power company.
I then read on Nairaland suggestions for stabilizer. Shockingly it's also not pumping well.
I've not had a full tank since I bought it, and I've pumped for several hours.
Please help o.

Rubbish! Why will anyone wish to engage in such? Any man that does anal is gay, he is only deceiving himself. If you can stick your plumplum inside woman's ass, you can do the same in mans own.
Hang on, is it not asshole we are talking about where poop comes out from that smells? So I will carry this my gentleman's stick and put it in shithole, where raw hot poo with touch it? Chisos! What is wrong with people for goodness sake?
Any man, husband or wife that engages in that abomination needs to have their heads examined.

Going by your logic, if you can kiss a woman, you can kiss a man abi

Did the person pay for the allocation?
Abi all of us can apply for allocation of lands now?

lovetterrison:
I kindly want genuine advice from car gurus before replacing my car for xmas..Presently using HONDA CRV2010 smooth solid ride but thinking of upgrading, my favorite SUV is actually Toyota highlander 2015 (but omo the price no be here i saw 28m on ) so of recent i have so fallen in love with Toyota Fortuner SUV 2015. please what are the pros and cons of the vehicle i only knew is produced in south Africa and east Asia.

moreover which one will be better Fortuner 2015 or MDX ACURA

nagode...

Acura MDX of which year are you talking about?

Didn't know fortuner was cheaper than Highlander BTW.
Just checked and saw it has a 4L V6. That's a lot of fuel.
Also it has just 240hp or something which means it's not really meant for cruising but more for off road duties. It should last long though. The MDX is nearly 300hp.
I believe you'd enjoy the Acura better drivingwise. The Toyota might generally give lesser issues overall sha.

Cheunshow:
2010 ACURA MDX TECHNOLOGY

Odometer:
161,182 mi (ACTUAL)

Engine type:
3.7L 6

Price: 8m

clearing inclusive?

What do you mean 130k? You don't know what you're saying OP.

Ishilove:
"Cumulative of 76" years means each charge has its own prison term. By the time all the prison terms of each charge are added together, they come up to 76, so the questions are what are the prison terms per charge and will they be running consecutively or concurrently?

Shoddy reportage.

Cumulative means he'll spend a total of 76 years.
It's different from concurrent.

RillJ:
Nope! The lowlife idiot may be out before 10 years as 76years is cumulative (sum of the sentences on all charges)

Principal offence here is blackmail where he might have gotten 10years.

Hope they barred him from ever having anything to do with where children and teens are involved - employment, social gathering and any form of association.

Idiots wants to get rich at any cost irrespective of who their victims are.

It's cumulative more concurrent.
He's going to die in jail.

I still believe the gauge is not counting well.
3mpg is 1.2km/ltr.
You're telling me you spend nearly 8k per 10km?

One thing I know is, you'd hardly find actual fuel efficient cars in Nigeria including tokunbo, especially for older cars.
People get 200km on corolla and civic on full tank here in Nigeria, and think they bought a fuel efficient car, when in reality it's a guzzler relatively.

Interesting observation. I noted same.
Perhaps it's alibaba.

Ouchbabe:
May their love last a lifetime.

Please I am asking for a friend
How do you cope with this situation?
You love someone badly and wants him but this is someone you can never ever have because it's morally wrong .What are the practical steps you can take to kill/ suppress the feeling?

Why is it morally wrong? Societal construct?

If it's logically wrong or gravely morally wrong, you can kill the regret by knowing it's surely a bad idea.

What Acura do you drive?

What’s your most issue with it the car?

is this your car and is this Nigeria? It's so clean.

2mch:
Better to use mud bricks that are fired in a kiln than use bamboo. We have the right mud all around us. You just need to train the builders on how to use it. It’s the best type of house for our climate. It is used in other African countries too.

How are those quoted houses cheap sir? 20k dollars and so on

Congrats to you but it's funny how you completely discredited the meds you've been taking which might have even helped.

Futuristica:
even lost our pregnancy due to too much sugar intake against my advice..now she is fully diabetic

You no go give her the divorce make you rest?

Wasn't this man probed too?

nairaandkobo:
A client is stuck with these options.

2013 Mazda CX-5
2006 Lexus RX 330
2012 Toyota Corolla

Which is the best option for him and why?

Please help.

Why is a cx5 compared to these?
It's obviously a higher class.

Nothing wrong with loans but these people hate to use it for intended purposes.

add the shipping and customs duties
to ship a 2024 car that worth 120k dolls

I thought there's no import duties on electric vehicles?
