akefemi: Between honda accord 08 i4 and Toyota Avalon 08 V6, which should I go for considering these points. 1) I travel from Lagos to Anambra once every month ( to and from) 2) maintenance and parts 3) resale value, in case I want to upgrade later Thank you for your contribution I will personally recommend the V6 since you travel so much. |

Car Talk › Re: GLK350 V6 To V8 Engine Swap by Elxandre(m): 4:24am On Mar 27, 2025 |
unbiased2021: Good morning NLanders,
I am looking on embarking on a built car journey. I am enthusiastic about built cars and I want to try something here in Nigeria as I've discovered that not too many people are crazy about built cars.
I want to swap the V6 (M272)engine in 2010 GLK350 to V8 (M273) from 2010 E550. I am aware there will be sophisticated modifications that may cost some good money. I'm also aware my suspensions,ECU , instrument clusters, brakes, etc will also be modified.
My budget is #20m
If you're a Mercedes Mod, or knows someone who can deliver on the project, kindly reach out. I'm in Lagos and willing to meet. Has this been done elsewhere? |

Gerrard59: Young Nigerians who expect their celebrities to "fight for them" are largely ignorant and naive. Do they expect someone who has danced with Sanwo to lambast Lagos? Sometimes, I wonder if I'm too old to understand these things.
BTW, the era of non-natives criticising where they don't come from has ended. If she were to be in the US, she will experience similar backlash. This is such an interesting take from you. Would Texans lambast someone from another state, say New York for speaking their mind? I don't think people in civilized countries check all these things before they engage in discourses. Arnold Schwazzeneger migrated from Austria and became a governor in America and here someone who was born less than 1000km away can't even dare criticize failings in another state. |

I never knew she is going to be a superstar, I dumped her for being an introvert, no clubbing, no hanging out, too reserved, no frequent romance, etc. Wish I was a bit patient with her but al the same, no regrets. We both doing well. I'd see you soon, Temi.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Elxandre(m): 2:11pm On Feb 22, 2025 |
The simple problem we have is our persistence with so called philosophers. We were better under Ole and Mou cos they did what they could with the team. Imagine Madrid looking for a pep all these years instead of solid coaches who do the best with what they have. Look for a good coach than a fraud who knows nothing than 343 ffs. Any coach that won't change formation is a jester!
We needed a mourinho, emery, Zidane not these mumu charlatans forming philosophy. |

Education › Re: Can I Study Abroad With Second Class Lower by Elxandre(m): 1:57am On Feb 04, 2025 |
papyjaypaul: Yes you can. Education abroad is not the same way we discriminate here. As long as you are able to convert and follow the structure of that country, you are good. Don't let your life be defined by the Nigerian construct of class. I salute all those who graduated with a 1st class but in the real world, no one will remember your class. We want to see what you can do. Even if you graduate with a pass abroad, don't let it define you. There's more to life than academic grades.
5 types of intelligence - academic is just one of them. I will not tell you not to study well but don't confine yourself to academics alone. Nigerians think only when you speak and write English well that you are intelligent. Then they see a Chinese and they are wondering how he can build bridges but they have forgotten English is just a language, a means of expression. It doesn't mean he who speaks Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba language is dumb and will not do well in life.
Enough preaching from me. sorry for diverting from your topic but I wrote this because it has held back many people from progressing home and abroad. They think what is from abroad is the best and what they have at home is the worst  Can you guys stop with this chinese and other nationals example? Chinese is their first language so who expects them to speak English? Have you seen a Nigerian world beater in his field who can't speak English? If so, name the person. Let's stop encouraging mediocrity. We don't need to be wole soyinka but we should be able to communicate in decent English. |

dkidd: Chai... I pray God heals Ur addiction. I was using trams back in 2015/16 regularly mostly for the fvck of it and I got really hooked although I never liked the morning after feeling I still wouldn't stop it but one thing about me no matter how I use something it never controls me. It's rather the other way round. So I'm always able to put a complete stop. TM had it's last use on my system when I was faced with a very big juicy yansh and tight kuntus in a hotel room and I couldn't perform because of overuse.
I had about 1750G in my system that particular night and unlimited alcohol, weed and energy drinks. I was actually banging her like clockwork until she blurted out I should please cum as she's hurting and that was it my mind disconnected and my dick went temporarily dead. The btich did everything, sucked and all but nothing. That was when I decided it's time I stopped and since then I haven't gone back to that shiii.
But U seem to be controlled by it so I pray U find strength and a real reason to quit it and going by Ur story there's enough reasons except U no value Ur life sha. Pity your kidney bro |
