Politics › Re: Politics Thread Is Now Igbo Vs Yoruba Thread by Elxandre(m): 11:17am On Jan 22, 2025
nairalanda1:
Yes, you can see the title.

The politics thread is now the Igbo vs Yoruba thread.

One cannot make a comment without it being interpreted along tribal lines.

Recently, I made some comments on a post correcting another nairalander about his assumptions on Nzeogwu's origins, his father, etc. I made them in good faith, without thinking about tribal things (and the corrections I made do not change the fact that Nzeogwu did overthrow the government of Nigeria in 1966). First comment quoting me accused me, in essence , of arguing for an Igbo agenda.

Even economic discussions turn into tribal war. Crime pages too...tribal war.
At the end, it isn't worth having discussions at all here.


Anyway.....let them say.
I truly barely open political threads anymore.
I mostly go straight to autos section to feed my eyes.
Politics › Re: NNPCL Raises Petrol Price To ₦‎990 In Abuja, ₦‎965 In Lagos by Elxandre(m): 8:03am On Jan 22, 2025
nairalanda1:
Yes, because your otondo leaders from 1960 to date did not do what sane countries did and develop our industrial exports potential

That is what all the countries with strong economies have.

Nigeria , whatever the government , we sell raw materials overseas and import products at a much higher price than what we sold the raw materials for.

And you expect progress? You expect strong economy with strong currency?

Even keeping naira strong in quote then cost us a lot of money and by extension debt.

Our leaders, tinubu included, are not serious.


And you are here calling me apc member. Grow up abeg. Wake up
Many African countries have removed subsidies for decades but they're still nothing to write home about.
We rather have a problem with corruption and lack of resourcefulness by our leaders.

Remove subsidies in Nigeria and all you get is reduced consumption of commodity because they can't even afford it.
Politics › Re: Ned Nwoko Gives Reasons For Leaving PDP by Elxandre(m): 2:08pm On Jan 20, 2025
all parties are the same in Nigeria.
Normally, parties should have ideologies. For example PDP believes in subsidy, APC doesn't or One believes in heavy taxation etc.
With this in mind, once you switch, everyone already has an idea what you believe in.
The system we have here makes it sensible to switch parties like handkerchiefs because they are all the same anyway, why stay in the losing party?

You better go & buy a kia picanto, Toyota Yaris, or a Nissan Micra.

That's just it!

However, it won't be much Flick's effort than Rashford's personal decision to be serious.

The young man has potential... He simply doesn't want to put in the work.

I blame it on lack of competition in his position all these years... He felt entitled and indispensable.
He will be 28 this year you dey say potential. lol
Autos › Re: Is 9.11 Lkm Per Liter Good For A Orolla by Elxandre(m): 5:08pm On Jan 16, 2025
honda001:
30 liters for 292km is too poor for a corolla
Unless you mean for a smooth highway, it's not bad for a car from 2010.
I have a civic 08 that does like 200km on a full tank inside town. I know some people with corollas that do similar mileages too.
I replaced my fuel pump trying to solve the issue but to no avail.

I'm just advising you not to replace parts unnecessarily. You can try sha.

Okay thanks.....i just wanted to kno...if it is the same with other corolla...

I read were som1 claim to be dping 320km with 20 liters on high way.

Though mine is not high way
They may somehow have access to better fuel or theirs is just better etc.
But you're lucky if you can get what you get.
Many people have it worse.

I have been monitoring my corolla 2010 model fuelling lately.

My car have covered 249km with 27.3 liters of fuel.

Is this fuel efficient, if no.....pls what do i need to do to improve my fuel efficiency.

There is no visible sign of check light.
It's every good actually for a 14 year old car.
Don't try changing anything.

Ah… I know that already. I’ve had it up for 3.5 million. I believe it’s fair… engine steams with water, interior is very sharp.

But I could put description that I’ve had the gearbox changed before. I really need this car off me as I need the funds for very important purpose
Yeah it's important to disclose to avoid unnecessary stress.
Autos › Re: Should I Let My Client Know Of Car Modifications Before Selling? by Elxandre(m):
Fuckallmods:
Hello fam.
I have this Corolla 2010, very sharp one. But it’s manual transmission. I’ve tried selling it for a while now, but I’m not getting good offers. I know that most people are after automatic transmission, so I’m looking at converting to automatic, with the same mechanic who did mine for an older Corolla model.
The previous model, which I’m currently using doesn’t give me problems, but most people don’t like cars that have been modified… for example converting right to left steering is a no no for some people.

Since I’m not getting good offers for the manual I want to change to automatic transmission and also changing the ECU.

Do I need to state this process when selling the car, or I should just keep it to myself and have the buyer detect anything for himself?
I doubt you can do it to 100% perfection. It's better to disclose lest you have law enforcement on your a$s when things go south.
And I hope you know you can't sell manual for the price of automatic, so consider reducing price for quicker sales.

So it took you over a decade to finally "clear the air" and your account is the absolute truth and nothing but the truth. Till date Catherine has not been interviewed about the collapse of their marriage (I stand to be corrected) Before the marriage crashed, it wasn't Catherine that publicly accusing him of infidelity and DV, it was eye witnesses and people close to the accused him. Why not clarify when rumours were flying around on the tabloids? He moved on so fast and married an older woman which even further cemented the rumours of infidelity.
He remarried 3 years later. Is that so fast?

Fake life on cars that are always in his garage?

Those cars na wetin dem de use deceive una ... burna garage no pass 700k dols ... those cars are not brand new ... a ferrari goes for between 100 to 150k , depending on the type... u can even get it for 70 to 80k ...

They use 70% of their earnings on cars ... why dem no go banana island go buy house na , if them get 3m dols ... they all stay in lekki ...not even admiralty lekki
Which kain talk be this. 2023-2024 Ferrari 80k?
The new Ferrari Purosangue Burna bought recently starts at $400k that's without customs duty and shipping.
He made $15m verified from tours last year. Even if his take home is 30%, that's still $5m in just a year just from tours alone. So you're wrong to say combined they've not seen $3.7m

Not all the 4cyl are bad actually.
The 2.4L 4 cyl in camry's are not very good and often short oil.

Four cylinder engines ain't poor. Being poor depends on the engine size. 1.1,1.2,1.4,1.6,1.8 till 2.7 litres are mostly 4 cylinders, but don't function the same way.
This Camry shown here has its 2.4 litres and is not bad in speed and performance for a modest human being.

In fact, if a speed demon handles it, even a V6 won't catch up. So soundness of engine and driver's experience also count in driving.

If fuelling ain't a problem for him, he should get the Camry or Lexus.
I am not talking about speed but reliability.
The Camry 4cyl has been reported to have certain issues like shorting of oil etc.

Look for camry that's not v6! Or else pick the Honda if it ain't v6 as well.

Or tune it down and get toyota corolla between 2010 - 2013

Besides, Camry is known for poor 4-cylinder engines.
