Effort can be made to stabilise or prop up global oil prices and concerted efforts are currently being made in that regard. So yeah, any person with a brain knows there is nothing wrong with the brain of a person who intends to make moves to stabilise oil prices.
Now I see why the APC govt succeed in playing with the minds of Nigerians,
So you are telling me a govt from a country with no functional refinery,would be listened to in the world stage when it comes to global Oil issues? angry angry angry
Oil price is determined by Demand and supply, if PMB did any form of economics in school he would have realized this and stopped making baseless statement.I would assume you are more educated than PMB ,now in your own words how does the FG of any nation prop or stabilize the sales of oil as regards as increasing prices huh

davo3286:
First thing first. Have you used the product before? I no. Then you have no reason to question my actions or experience on the product so please keep your dirty mouth shut!

FYI, 1. I am not new to cars and driving; 2. Whatever modification (s) i carry out on my vehicle, which i deem fit and safe, is no fvcking business of yours. So why get all worked up? 3. I drive a well maintained 2010 Honda Accord EX-L V6 which I bought used in 2012 (its 4yrs now and still looking new in and out and guess what? I travel with everywhere i go - Kano, Calabar, Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Enugu, Zamfara, Port Harcourt etc. I use it every time) - never bought/driven a used vehicle above 5yrs; 4. Unfortunately, I live in the contraption called nigeria where roads are a luxury in itself...and where more than 80% of the roads are booby traps...country where motorists, mostly Toyota owners, change their shock absorbers like brake pads; 5. In view of 4 above, there need for one to protect his shock absorber from untimely damage; 6. This shock absorber cushion buffer product like the name implies, acts as a 'damper'. A damper acts to smoothen the spring travel and hence make your driving experience more comfortable on bad and unpaved roads and ultimate increase the life span of your shocks.

A NLander came here to exhibit and market his product. I checked the stuff out...saw that it was cool...bought it and installed...then tested it by driving on different conditions and saw a reasonable improvement in my driving experience. Plus since i bought it through one of us here i deemed it fit to share my experience of the product here still so that other can know.
Guy relax, no need swearing,What he was telling you was the right thing.The shocks we buy in Nigeria are fakes not the real thing.If you buy genuine shocks you will realize Japanese car parts are very expensive.You spring is not the shock,they are dampers to the shock,the shocks are the struts in the middle.I will upload parts that are essential for drivability and the smoothness of you driving.I have an off road SUV in PH so I can tell you of my expirience.

EgunMogaji:
What you've managed to accomplish is remove your shock absorber from the equation. As in most Nigerian vehicles that I've entered, you shocks are probably already gone and why this gimmick gives the illusion that it works.

Had you done the proper thing and inspected your suspension and changed worn out parts you would have accomplished a far better outcome with spectacular as designed driving characteristics.

Sometimes we are our own worst enemies in Nigeria. A fellow Nigerian is selling this crap to his fellow citizens angry
My broda i site You
This thing no tire you? Just imagine,telling us some rubbish none metal material will handle better than a shock strut that has automatic traction.This is how they will kill people in the name of trade.

[quote author=Divinne post=43668349][/quote]Oga BIG FAT LIE
There is no point going this far just to sel your product,Why would I wanna put that in my car if my suspension is gone rather I buy a new one?
The initial aim of this was to help buffer the effect of towing caravans and wagons, and it was meant to be on the rear
If your Suspension is bad it is band ,the handling would be out of the windows and nothing except new sets would fix this.
And is you are in a sane society, your warranty is void,also if you have an accident your insurance won't pay as you have modified a major component of your car
Nigerians chaaa.
PS: for those of you buying substandard shock and expecting it to last long,good luck, buy the genuine ones and mayB you will realize toyota /Honda/Nissan parts aint that cheap afterall.

Sir,
Pls find out the cost of labour (masonry) in ipaja lagos and compare it to lekki and portharcourt.

Find out the cost of delivering a 30 tons granite to Ibara Abeokuta and compare it to delivering same to Ajah lagos or better still Onitsha.

Find out the cost of hardwood in Benin Edo state and compare it to lagos.

Do these and you'll have more answers to your question.
Guy leave this location of labour cost thing,Im building in PH, the vast labour force came from my town in Delta,however I just realize the labour in PH is cheaper than Sapele,a town.
ie I portion of excavation of foundation ( 1 mtr deep,0.5 mtr wide and 1 mtr long in PH was N500 while in sapele and warri it was N700.
The cost of building materials are almost same.The primary material for building is cement and its N1500 to site as at today %99 of site in Nigeria.

England isn't same with nja where they manage land.

A full plot of land in nja (60 by 120) will build a nice big bungalow and still av space.
We Nigerians just have that mentality that u aren't rich if you don't build duplex.
You are talking building to stay I'm talking building as to rent..U save space that's the idea of a duplex or storey building. When a plot of land d cot N15M. Wold you buy two plot and build 2 bungalows? ?

Even if God butter my bread pass like this, i will rada build 10 bedroom bungalow than duplex.

BTW does duplex tags someone rich ? angry
No it doesn't but.it's a clever way of managing land space. In England almost all the new housed built are duplex. .A space of two bed bungalow will accommodate a 4 bed duplex. A space for a one bedroom flat can accommodate a 3 bed duplex.

Make I no lie you, 6.5 million will build it depending on your location and you will still have change. Though there are some who will use that alone to furnish living room. But Don't be discouraged at all and don't be too high in your taste. Even if you have the structure, as time goes on, you will do the finishing to ur taste.

As a matter of fact, if you build a house with 100 billion naira, you will still not be satisfied if you will want to have everything.

Competency is the key to happiness or else you will end up in a confined prison not better than your own toilet.

So, there are peole who even build less than that amount.
Guy yoy never build b4 if U have you won't come here and type all you did.

For Bungalow of 4 bedrooms, it will go far but Dublex, no.

But oil price has never been within the control of Nigeria or any country? .... So what is special about this dubious title?

Only brainless wailers celebrate when a government official states a simple elementary fact such as the oil price being beyond the control of the government.

The 50 deep pile is the actual foundation. That defeats your argument of regarding the depth of foundation
