you don't even drive a 2020 Camry so go sidan for one side.

In answering your question, You think if you placed a 2024 Camry side by side with a 2024 escalade and/or 2024 range rover, how many kazeems will even attempt to touch the 2024 Escalade and range rover with a 3 feet stick.
Make una dey reason abeg.

I actually do not, I drive a Range Rover and a BMW .Why the hell would I drive a Toyota ??When I can drive a BMW 3201?
Bro not everyone is less privileged .On Nairaland I have met people who have 2025 range Rover sport and 2024 Camry as well, and also if you go to the BMW section we have people there who have brand new bimmers, SO speak of what you know.I made a thread on here where I c onverted my 2012 Range rover from RHD to LHD its on here you can look at it and see men there wey get machine

Mercedes Benz just have a big name and a historical value. People buy it just for the name and history. It doesn't mean it is the best. See the screenshot I attached and check whether you can find Mercedes Benz.

That stat was p ut up there by people like you .Ask anyone who lives in the US the position of toyota in everyday car.
I can take a photo of my street and you can see that toyota is like 1 percent of total cars park on my street.the fact that the F1 has no toyota cars in it is an indication of its functionality, guys make more research plzzzzz

tosyne2much:
You mean Toyota is basking on old glory?

Does it mean newer model cars of Toyota aren't as rugged as those made 25 years ago?

toyota has adopted system cars like Merc, Audi and BMW and Range rovers had 18 years ago, so as we speak a road side mechanic cannot fix a 2024 toyotas camry.So talking about parts and esy to fix is out of the window

mirrael68:
The OP was talking about Nigeria not Europe.

OP is talking OLD cars

GloriousGbola:
AI slop at its finest

Imagine Toyota beating out lexus.

They are both one and thesame cars

tosyne2much:
Toyota is the most reliable car brand in the world

In the case of Nigeria, Toyota can tolorate all manner of abuse so it will remain the most reliable car brand in Nigeria for the next couple of decades

Oga you are talking of toyota of 25 years OLD, try the 2020 up , come back make we check something

3kay945:
Bro, we have to face reality here. Nothing beat Toyota o.

Whether the love for it is due to our bad road or affordable parts or resale value..etc. nothing still come close. If you are DIY fan, you can even repair or change some parts in Toyota easily.

Nah cos you dey drive Pencil light and never drive even Peugeot 507.In the US the vast majority of urbar cars are toyota

Nefort:
It's not about the spare parts. In overseas where most people have enough money to buy spare parts they don't even rate Mercedes Benz for reliability. It's only in Nigeria where people rate Mercedes Benz high.

Bross stop that talk Mercedes nah Oga world wide, even chinease government ride on Merc. Never mention Mer i n a toyota thread ohhhhh nah Disrespect

Talismann:
it's too rugged and can take a beating without crying.

Moreso, Nigerian owners love to abuse their vehicles and the Toyota brand gladly accepts all manner of abuse so it's loved very much.

Toyota makes everything very basic without over engineering so the knowledge curve to aspiring auto mechanics is not too steep.

Good luck spending 5 hard years learning how to fix range Rovers in Nigeria

The problem or what you guys seem to dwell on is that you guys drive 25 years Old cars and compare them with cars built with the tech toyota is catching up with,Howmany Mechanic in Nigeria do you think can fix a 2024 Camry ??

I Visited Port Harcourt Zoo Myself — And I Was Disappointed

After seeing several reports and videos about the state of Port Harcourt Zoo, I decided to visit myself. I wanted to know if people were simply giving the zoo bad PR or deliberately downplaying it.

Unfortunately, what I saw was even more disappointing. A place that was once regarded as one of Nigeria’s notable zoos now looks almost abandoned, with only a handful of animals left.

The government really needs to step up and revive Port Harcourt Zoo. Its current state does not speak well of Rivers State.

I documented my visit here:

Zoo is a businees, the private sector should take over

Richtaiwo:
In another news, see the content obedients are celebrating. Even a local government chairman won't be received with this lukewarm.

you are a true representation of everything that is wrong in Nigeria, someone went to a place where one of the main food i n Nigeria is produced you are here painting it dark and gratifying a scene of dead cars being donated and to be looted.

saintruky:
Like how many years the man put in to learn the trade...

E dey possible for man with wife and children to learn trade?

Depends on what he is learning

Sirchiboy:
The years I wasted in school.
If I used those years to learn skill or go for boi boi.
My life would have changed forever.

All is not lost, things you can learn to add to your badge of honour
Up to date carpentry Nowadays boards are all HDF or MDF, tools needed are cheap rechargeable too,
Tilling
Painting as in stucco painting
Photography, U can work for someone to begin with as cameras are xpenssive.
Teach yourself coding as a start.
Do Bolt, if you can drive if you cant learn.
If all that fail you can FARM.
If you give me up to date of your foundation skills or education, I can help you suggest more.

franchasng:
It is late for him to do boi boi for any Igbo business man now because he has passed the age for that.


The igba boi apprenticeship system is like company trainee program, both of them come with an age range/restriction. Once you are above 19yrs, it will be difficult and in fact impossible for you to find any Igbo businessman ready/willing to take you as his nwa boi. The next option for him is "igba oso ahia/ofia" which have no age restriction but requires total humility, smartness, being friendly and jovial too.



And to the original topic, going to higher institution now requires wisdom. You don't just enrol because other of your mates are doing so or because you want to answer graduate. You must be very cautious in selecting course to study. Many courses being studied in Nigerian higher institutions today have become obsolete and needs to be removed from the curriculum and replaced with courses relevant to today's global needs.


For science students, they should consider the below courses:

1.) Nursing science
2.) Radiography
3.) Physiotherapy
4.) Laboratory science is not too bad
5.) Pharmacy is not too bad
6.) Civil Engineering
7.) Welding Technology as a course
8.) Carpentry as a course
9.) Mechatronics & Robotics Engineering
10.) Information Technology with specialization in Cyber Security



Arts students can go for:

1.) English language
2.) Accounting is not too bad
3.) Supply Chain Management & Logistics
4.) Digital Marketing and Artificial Intelligence

and you think with all that job guarantee, well for science, you better be Mechanical, Electrical or a branch to medical field End off.

Are you a Moslem? Have you been to their place of worship? You think they don't call for donations?Oga you cannot see those things online because they don't want the world to have a different view about them.

Only people that can't think for themselves listens to these god of men.
If you want to listen to God, read and reflect on his words, anything outside his words are the words of men.

Go to his church on sunday and see the crow, makes you wonder

Oracleee:

LordLicifer:
Probarbly.. But he could use article 8 to stay.. or if he has a child with a brit woman. There are many ways for him to stay on a visa but not an ILR.


Correct. He messed up big time.

But he has not gotten ILR

LordLicifer:
No, he will never! and also never get s UK citizenship. But who knows? He might. After all he managed to escape deportation.. the home office could still appeal the judges decision and now his fate would be in the hands of his employers who helped him stay he better not mess up at work


I am wondering why he doesn't have any children in the UK since 2004 or 2005 in arrived in the UK.

He def will be deported at some point.the Homeofffice reserve the right to issue the ILR

ARISHEM:
This is commendable. I hope they do better

YOu asking for a friend or you wan go check something ?

No go find work, dey look for people to SCAM

SonOfWords:
Exactly.

Now it is how to put safety mechanisms in place so those pay-small-smalls do not compromise that NIN you're having to give them for those business transactions.

That's where the EFCC and ICPC are supposed to come into play.

well they can only steal money from your bank, this is the sole responsibility of the CBN and the banks, has little or nothing to do with you and me.Im quite sure the banks have a defence mechanism to halt this.

Bluntemperor:
Some of you should think Deep, before you talk,since Abusive language is Obedient and PDP Sympathetisers Colorations,so many Nigerians are not surprised 🙀.
If you are an Economist, what CBN said will raise serious Issues - when The People Defaults,for anything Credit 💳, Default are bound to happen!
So,CBN is raising a lacuna and if not taken care of now will still bounce back on the CBN.
Solutions Now- is better than to War- War!

The first half of what you said is right, if the customers default there is no CBN to run to due to none regulation great, However did you see the CBN in anywhere in this write up showing sympathy or support for these companies that provide these services? rather they are talking of these credit agencies not being regulated and taxed. This is the Nigerian problem, putting the Cath B4 the horse.

SonOfWords:
The CBN is considering this a challenge because the country simply lacks a central citizens digital database, as well as tough data protection regulations and mechanisms in place to inform and checkmate the activities of these non-bank lending businesses.

In the U.S, your social security number is quite literally your "human identification tag". All your dealings as a person can be processed with that number and citizens mostly don't have to worry about breaches because of effective government oversight functions.

This is one of those times when the utter uselessness of the EFCC and ICPC are laid bare for the world to see😶. They should be providing the secure framework upon which the CBN can regulate the pay-small-smalls.

But we have NIN no B soo

Krankhead:
Don't cry if the buy now pay later companies shortchanged you because you don't have any protection

SInce you are so clever i n such thing, tell us how these credit company will shortchange you

AnonPoet:
https://nairametrics.com/2026/09/26/cbn-raises-regulatory-questions-over-non-banks-offering-instalment-credit/

See them the only persons at risk of pay small small are the companies who offer such services, did they complain to CBN NO, so why is he crying, the banks failed to derv into that business cos its a genuine means of making money meaning they have to work for it not just deduct ,Oh not the banks are only interested in taxing people. This has been filled by these companies now they are trying to look for a way to tax these companies as well without themselves taking no risk. There is soo much credit facilities the CBN can lay down so that Nigerians can spring up but they wont

studyless123:
That's not correct. I don't know of companies offering copper cable connections but about 20 years ago I had a fiber connection in Nigeria. It's not common but what's available is fiber and wireless Internet services.

HAHAH you are one of those in Nigeria who think and say they have a LAND LINE when infact the have a mobile phone on a desktop device or lower tarrif.As we speak, the whole of the UK is not fibre optic yet ,they are still installing it across the UK.
