Traffic wardens Instead to employing engineers to fix traffic lights and cctv to catch those that jump the light, na to employ traffic warden?? back wards ever...smh

we will vet there.this is how the west started.the Uk began this in london same way in Park lane.

this is the byproduct of growing up eating dog meat ,wild animals are living much better compared to you Yoruba zoo people who always fight tribal and religious wars..

Im not yoruba but let me.ask U when was the last yoruba tri al war?or you high on Dog meat?

Tyche:
Op could have a point. 15000km/year roughly translates to 42 km per day and that is very reasonable. It is funny seeing a niqqa with a 2001 car bragging that his mileage is 51000. So the original owner just use am for decoration abi?

yes I agree .U could use that as a guide

ubiquitousade:
Pls explain the bolded for the benefit of everyone




pls how did you arrive at that 98% estimation?
then what did you discover that is shocking about the cotonou market? I'll suggest you create a thread for it.

To the Topic: thanks saintjoel for heeding to my request to create a thread.

To everyone.the Ecu aka brain Box stores the the Odometer reading o a pamanent base.This is how you get caught abroad if you roll bacl ur milage cos duri g MOT this figures are recorded on ir MOT certificate ie last milage reading B4 MOT check.so even though you want to roll ot back it wo t be significant and you coild be caught during ur MOT check.Its a criminal offence and can land U in Jail.If you change ur brain Bkx in the US you are required to tell them the correct milage and VIN for them to co figuure ur new ECU.

saintjoel:
Like i stated sir,this is just an assumed calculation and it can be used when you dont have access to internet,can you explain how mileage can be checked from the ECU but please take note that we are discussing about first purchase when the car is still with the dealer and not annual service,i'll want readers to learn from your experience.

yeh but do U think anybody woulld be in a hast to hand i er N1m if they have the option of Vin check? It takea less than 2 hrs to check the Vin on Naira land for free.Im assuming phones work where these vehicles are parked.So I dont see any xcuse Y I cant run a Vin check or cant wait for 4 brs for the VIN check to come bck

Evestar200:
the isoko language is 60% different from the. Urhobo languag, their is deeper while the Urhobo is lighter

thats not fact.how will U call the Okpes and Ijevwe then?the Okpe is deeper way deeper than Isoko.dont U think so?

Evestar200:

I dont like Laced up shoes.

We all know his choice is GMB

I dont think so cos if it is then there would be no reason to debunk the report.it would be free publicity on his part

I won't acquiesce to your ethnic bigotry and racism. I won't even waste my intellectual prowess arguing with you on what is true or not. Our readers have books and the Internet at their disposal to find the truth. You are just a true representation of a typical Itsekiri man. As for the Warri and Sapele issue, it has caused wars, invectives and hatred over the decades, I refuse to be a part of it. Delta State belongs to all of us. There's no competition. Thank you for your insults to my person and my tribe. I refuse to answer as would any urhobo man. That is why we will always be a step ahead in the face of God.

My guy ignor this guy,he has no clue, this is how the wanted to try the Oghara people at Ajgbodudu, we all know what happened.

literarymathy, you have your story all stolen from my people the itsekiri. i'm itsekiri from koko and firstly, warri is not indigenously your town. the name "warri" is a corrupted form of a word in itsekiri "IWERE", meaning it's the way it is, translated literarily. you called other towns like sapele and a couple others and claim them for the urhobos, but incidentally, history tells us that sapele is an itsekiri town which was a hub for economic activity with the early itsekiri traders who traded with the west and who employed urhobo workers as slaves. and sapele was given up as a bargaining chip by Nanna Olomu to make peace with a warlord because of a breach in terms of agreement for a certain battle price. the soup which you made mention of "owo" is an itsekiri soup and owo is actually a borrowed word from us mister... i can pick out a myriad of false claims which i won't acquiesce to. warri is the ancestral home of the itsekiri people and we only conceded territory to your people because you have a healthy population there due to your high rate of proliferation, and your persistent clamouring for a stake in the city. well, i can understand where you are coming from because the urhobos and ijaw people have been slaves to us for too long and are out against us trying to carry out a vendetta, but it's not really the answer to anything. and you didn't mention the native attire which i saw in your pictures showing you wearing our "kemeje", would you say that that is indigenously yours too? and to stake more leverage on what i've said so far, we are a singular tribe without mixed dialects, probably the only tribe in nigeria which speak a singular dialect and who have just one singular king and not multiple kings. we have chiefs who report to our king, the Olu of Warri. so there are a lot of flaws and false claims about your heritage which i vehemently dispute. also, we have had a long running history with the benin people and our monarchs are intertwined with each other and we've both been the main custodians of the southern region of nigeria from the days when our history was been written. it's really not fair making erroneous remarks and statements because people who don't know the truth would be misled and made to think that this you've put up there is the case, whereas it's not. so please kindly do yourself a favour and get to know your history and people and don't get it mixed up.

My friend go and sit down,stop writting rubish, what do you mean the Urhobos where Slaves to you,you need to know your History, site any page in history that support all of your claims.This talk was what brought the Crisis in warri and you lot ran to sapele.U don start rubish talk here.Name the teritory in warri you own today

To answer your original question - Majority of exports of both is same (Crude and refined petroleum). Nigeria has the potential to be an even bigger market than the UAE. i dont know what currency you are referring to (1 = 295) as i was comparing both Dirham and Naira.

FYI - No prayer is too much for anyone (this is just a forum) We're just having differing opinions on things. Enjoy working in UK while i enjoy working in Abu Dhabi.

I'd consider Australia in the future (God willing)

Cheers

my friend you are there still talking Grammar, let me give you the answer,the only thing the UAE produce that we Nigerians seek is Tourism,nothing more nothing less,Everything other thing you buy there are from China,real traders go to china, that Dubai of a thing nowadays is efizzy.Its a first point of call for people who just acquire their passport.I use to buy stuff from Dubai B4 I decided china was way cheaper and better ,during them times, I was in the UAE 4 times a year at least.I know the deal of most Nigerians there first hand,I know the Job and runs they do there,I know most of the Agent job they do,buying and shipping to accommodation etc.When you do get the chance register on Alibaba.com and see how china manufacture and sell.

Your reply is shocking... Dubai airport is fully owned by the Dubai Government. (refer Wikipedia)
I'm gonna leave you as you are (Ignorant) - I mean no insult
FYI - I've been in the UAE for long periods.. (Not revealing more than this)

I am really praying for you to visit this country on a tourist basis (Not for shopping O) so you can see level of development thus clearing all doubts and dislike for the country you know nothing about (All you see and know is from webpages that have edited and proofread info)

I appreciate the fact that you like Nigeria and I do too, but the citizens of this country equally like their own country too. FYI 1 AED = 51 Naira
Many Emiratis favor working for the Govt or own private businesses.

I wish you all the best

Pray for me lol you are saying this to a person who lives and works in the Uk, who has traveled across choice cities around the world? Oh plzzzzz .My dear, my level Pass Dubai for tourism,Im planning Australia for the 3rd time, try that one you will love it. check who Sheikh Ahmed bin saeed Al Maktoum is and come back, all this long story for a simple question of what they produce in the UAE. ahah N51 naira is S""""""t xchange rate, we talking 1=295 U r stuck @ 1=51, U my friend is a learner

saintjoel:
Low mileage for cars and SUVs.

I'm a custom licensed agent and I also help buy vehicles from cotonou,also clear them through customs with valid duty papers but as smooth as this job may seem,mileage seems to be something agents,dealers and importers haven't been able to agree on.

Mileage is measured by the odometer has miles/kilometers but in this illustration I'll be using km as examples,then I'll later explain with miles. I'll also be using a frequently asked question I treated in one of my post as an example.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Q : HOW DO CALCULATE MILEAGE FOR VEHICLES AND HOW DO YOU KNOW IF MILEAGE HAS BEEN ROLLED BACK?

A : Mileage has always caused serious issues between importers,agents,car dealers and end users. Many end users have been hoodwinked into believing that only vehicles with low mileages can perform and at the end of everything,the purchased vehicles with the assumed low mileages break down and the become daily visitors to the mechanic.

Whenever you're checking out vehicles,there's an assumed we use for detecting the actual mileage of vehicles and it's 15,000 for cars and 25,000 for SUVs.

For example - If a car was manufactured in 2001,it's calculated as 2015 - 2001 = 14,then when you multiply 15,000km to the 14 year gap,it becomes 15,000*14=210,000km.

This means that when you're buying a car manufactured in 2001,the least mileage to expect will be around 170,000km and for an heavy user,it'll will be 230,000km. So if a 2001 model car has 75,000 mileage,the buyer should run a comprehensive VIN check before purchase and the same calculation is also applicable to SUVs too.

For american cars with miles,all you need to do is ask the dealer/check the odometer to see if it's measured in miles and multiply the mileage with 0.62 and you'll get the mileage in kilometers. What it means is that if you're buying a vehicle and suggest to a dealer that you don't need a car with 75,000Km and he later sells the car with 46,000miles without telling you it's in miles,you've been scammed into buying the same mileage you wanted to avoid.

Quoting ubiquitousade on Nairaland, "It amuses me when some buyers expect a 13 years old car to have a mileage lower than 120,000km. Its an anomaly that needs to be corrected.

In 2013 I saw a Camry 2007 Nigerian used with less than 60k mileage a guy wants to sell. That is the level some peeps can descend to in order to make a sale".I've even seen where customers will ask for cars manufactured in 1999 with 30,000 mileage.

MILEAGE DOESN'T MAKE A GOOD VEHICLE,IT ALL DEPENDS ON USAGE AND TITLE DEED,I've seen cars with 230,000miles and they're still performing better than some cars with 60,000 miles. Customers have been so fixated with the idea of low mileage that they tend to overlook other issues when it comes to purchasing vehicles.

BEWARE,THAT LOW MILEAGE YOU'RE SEEKING FOR MIGHT HAVE BEEN ROLLED BACK AND YOU'LL END UP WITH A FAULTY VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE.

We hope we've been able to settle the issue of mileage once again and this post is the opinion of the O.P,if you've a contrary opinion,feel free to drop your comments,thanks.

Thanks and have nice day.

I think with this calculation you will get it wholly wrong, you can get teh actual mileage from the chassis number check on line, when you do your annual maintenance,the milage is recorded so there you have it also you can get it from reading the brain Box(ECU)

People run to dubai cos its cheap to do so, take a look at their exchange rate. D same people rushn to dubai can't dare forming 1 wik vacation n shopping in the us, dem go run down.

You my friend are wrong, thing arnt cheap in Dubai, there are cheaper stuff in the USA than Dubai,its cheaper to shop in the US for me than in Dubai.

They have a WILL and strong commitment to developing their country and its happening cos me dey see am. Instead f*****g politicians here are busy asking for certificates.

If they aint producing anything why are many Nigerians trooping in to buy stuff in Dubai. In the 1970's they were less developed than Nigeria

you are worse than GMB, I asked you a simple question U nor get answer,let me ask again NAME ONE THING PRODUCED IN THE UAE THAT WE NEED IN 9JA?? you are talking bout Will, the average UAE man has will to work? I take it you have never been there then.Go and check who owns most of the Biz there,they are foreigners,even the Airport that's now the worlds busiest is a foreign investment.learn the nitty gritty b4 U comment.

You are right, they also go as far as stealing and causing problems in sharjah while they run to ajman and Al ain to hide,so wired,so ashamed, thank God for my red passport .they now ask nationality before employment and tenancy agreement. Deira is now so hot because nigerians.its either""i need philipino,indian Pakistani "",we have made employers so scared of employing us.

So U took your red passport to the UAE to work?

there are lots of diffefence btween
Urhobo and isoko

whats the difference, B4 we go further what part of urhobo do you come from?

When morality doesn't mean anything to you, you can assign all sorts of quotations to those you hate.
In any case lest we forget;

I see you are one of those hiding under religion to make your points know,rather these are views you share,not your religion.Advice for you, when you mix religion with politics you've just prepared a recipe for disaster.

Demdem:

Is this isis u are talking about taking territories in these western countries u are reffering to? Are they kidnapping their girls, boys etc in hundreds? Are they killing in thousands?
If not, then it's erroneous on ur part to bring it up to justify Jonathan failures.

Try and read more meaningful insight to ones statement,check the Ideology behind ISIS, you will realize it involves territories being claimed and converted into an Islamic state of their own within the middle east and God knows how far they are willing to spread.This are already affecting western interest as it is.Just last week Jordan lost a pilot to them we all watched the clips.Now referring to Home grown terrorist, do you know the amount of UK boys and girls who had crossed over to fight with them?

tonychristopher:
but are you tryng to tell me that urhobo wont understand isoko if they speak or wont ishan understand benin if they speak.


i want to know

will an urhob or isok man need an interpreter when they meet


same with benin or ishan




i know that in igbo even if you are cross rver, akwa ibom, edo igbo or anambra igbo, you wont need an interpreter to communicate with each other, there might be a bit difficulties but you will understand


so pls brother explain this for me, i want tyo know why the fragmentation of clans there in name of tribe


TO ME ISOKO AND URHOBO SHOULD JUST BE SOBO TRIBE. I DONT SEE MUCH DIFFERENCE

WHAT DO YOU THINK

if U check its always the non urhobos who always say Isokos are not Urhobo.its like saying Okpes are not Urhobos or Ijevwe are nkt urhobos When we all Bear same names.

username792:
I dont care about the American healthcare system which is known for being wack.

But when you make such claims, you must provide evidence to support them.

So how many UK citizens HAVE TO travel to other parts of the EU and India for life threatenning diseases the NHS cant cure evey year?

Also the British government is routinely blamed for the NHS' failures and bloating. To even try and argue otherwise is intellectual dishonnest.

ah Im at work hence cant do much as to bring proff.Im on my mobile.when I get home I will update.ask anyone U know who lives in the Uk .try and look up Moorfeild Eye hospital..Springfield hospital ,Great Hammond street hospital all in London and also did U hear about the new rule for IVF treatment in the UK?I worked in the NHS for five good years so I knkw what Im talking about hundreads come in yearly on private healthcare.Rich n Poor

ollah1:
That's exactly what I'm saying. They are joining hands together to crush the monster. Imagine ISIS attack just one strong country like I listed earlier, do u think they wld need extra powers to finish them. Nope, cos they did their homework.

Here at home, they didn't do all these for 4 years running, but they are finding ways to crush the monster called BH now cos of election. Isn't this a campaign method in order to find sympathizers at the expense of innocent Nigerians. We wouldn't be seeing all these if elections. wasn't nearby

in all what Im saying is Home grown terrorist are hard to defeat. We can reduce them if we r lucky as its formed out of Idealogy so they r the civilians and terrorist at same time.they av sympathizers.the merge back i to the comunity.and it dosnt help wen jt gets mixed with religion politics and brainwash.It dosnt help when people in power support them directly kr i directly thinking they have a just cause.

thewarrior72:
Put on your thinking cap next you wanna quote a post or rather read & comprehend before you go on ranting like you have bug in your brain.
What is the name of US home grown terrorists cell & which part of US did they operated from?

brov co.e on U should be wiser.there r loads if home grown terrorist i the USA and UK

Demdem:

Bastard son of a rotten kunt, how can u ever accept the fact that Jonathan being the c in c seems to be incapable of destroying these fools despite having such huge power and resources within the office he sits in.
Shouldn't that suggest that the fool is incompetent. Why blame his failures on citizens that are powerless?

Home grown terrorist are hard to defeat xpecialy if its formed out of idealogy.hence the west still battling ISIS

berem:
Seriously, this is something to be worried about. Are they preparing for another civil war if eventually Jonathan loses?
Lord have mercy!

Rubish.there was enough Oil for Arms deal during the ND militancy.Y do U think the FG would bkther arming them.did U nt watch the Amnesty arms recieved?

ollah1:
Did you comprehend my message at all?

yes I did and if U checked that event I described happened on a London street in broad day light.So there U go ISIS attack on western world.U get me ?

ollah1:
ISIS are bigger and more intelligent than BH. They have killed people from different countries Japan, USA, Jordan to name a few, you don't expect them not to come together to crush ISIS.

If they(ISIS) had only attacked one strong country say USA, Russia, China or something they wldnt ask other countries tries to join them to crush the group cos they are rich, intelligent and their military is strong enough to finish the group.

what r tou talking about ISIS sympathizers beheaded a soldier os woolwhich baracks.did U forget?

berem:
our military have been compromised and ridiculed. All thanks to Jonathan.
Watch Buhari's interview on Al-Jazeera and you will weep for our military what it has turned into
