Car TalkRe: TOYOTA COROLLA: A Wise Choice Decision To Make In Nigeria Today? by esemes256: 7:57pm On Dec 21, 2023
@ Op,

Think of all the cars made in the world between the years 2005 to 2008. Many of those cars have landed in the junkyard by now.
For toyota corolla, I can guarantee you that 80% or more are still on the roads running. That says alot about the build quality of the car.

This vehicle is overrated.
Corolla ain't better than Camry in terms of fuel consumption, maintenance or parts.

Generally, Toyota cars are usually economical when it comes to fuel consumption but for a Toyota Corolla, its way too overrated especially when you can't get your foot off the gas.
Depends on the year of the camry and how well maintained the car is. For maintenance, camry seems overall slightly cheaper to maintain. In all, I would rather get a well maintained camry than a corolla.

Its a nice car, if u live in a secured gated compound & ur work place is also well secured!....

If ur goal is fuel economy, forget that crap, u are better off with a Honda civic. ..better design, less desirable by thieves & also slightly better fuel economy than the Toyota corrola grin
My problem with this honda civic is that it cannot withstand the rigours of Nigerian roads the way the corolla does. Fuel economy is just one of the factors that make so many people continue buying the corolla.

bonnyhope:
But most nutritious
I disagree. The snail (including the peppery sauce added) is the most nutritious in my opinion. Nevertheless, The fish and snail contain less fat compared to the others.

The fish is the least desirable there.
SportsRe: Salah, Osimhen Or Hakimi... Who Deserves CAF 2023 Best Player Award? by esemes256: 4:23pm On Dec 11, 2023
bemeruca:
Oshimen is overrated. I understand why y'all always call his name. He is Nigerian but how far his performance for this country
Osimhen seems a bit overrated but stats and output is what makes him a contender here. Last season, he delivered the goods as a striker. that is what matters most for his position on the field. True, He has so many areas he needs to improve on, but he scores goals when the opportunity comes. He gets the job done more often than not. Based on his results last season, he deserves to win it.
SportsRe: Salah, Osimhen Or Hakimi... Who Deserves CAF 2023 Best Player Award? by esemes256: 4:16pm On Dec 11, 2023
It is between Hakimi and Osimhen. For the 2023 football year, I think Osimhen slightly edges it and deserve to win it.
The Morocco team as a whole did well at the world. Hakimi was good but Osimhen was excellent last season.

OP if you have 250k, get any of the following:

1) Brand new Samsung A series phone with 5G or
2) Confirmed London used iPhone or flagship Samsung phone or
3) A brand new Google pixel phone.

Check out Poco f3 or Poco f4 or X3 pro.
Bro or sis, take my word and run away from poco x3 pro. Don't be deceived by the specs you see on paper.
I have used a brand new poco x3 pro that died within a year. Dead boot problem. Had to cough up money to get a new phone as it was not something that can be fixed. It was a serious hardware flaw that rendered the phone useless.

Anytime I hear poco, I run for my dear life. If it is not Samsung, iPhone or Google pixel, I am not interested. I have suffered alot from these Chinese brands.

When it comes to oral traditions, it is important to hear many sides of the story. If you take some time to read the Benin side of the story, you will start seeing some connections. Benin empire was quite big at one time. Check the link below if you will, it links to a good number of citations:

JuanDeDios:
Sebi we're importing adire from China and garri from India? I guess a way can be found to import mutton from Australia profitably.
Yeah, I hope a way can be found because many Nigerians need affordable quality proteins.
For garri, the Chinese have machines that process raw cassava to garri in no time. Much faster than the crude methods in use in Nigeria.
Same probably applies to adire. They probably have machines that can make adire faster and cheaper than we do here.
Nigeria needs to wise up and embrace technology in all that we do.

If it's accessible to purchase online... One can calculate the cost of buying and shipping to ones destination... If its worth it

It can be a good business for someone living here in Nigeria
The only way I think the sheep 🐑 can be exported is via the meat processing facilities. Live sheep cannot be exported via shipping containers. They will first need to be processed to meat and other stuff, then exported. Also, the distance from Australia to a place like Nigeria will make the landing cost of the sheep quite expensive.

I have tried to eat swallow with fork and knife before but I didn't enjoy the meal. It felt like work!
I prefer using bare hands. All I need to do is make sure I wash my hands thoroughly before and after eating the food.

By the way, is it right to eat swallow and ogbono soup with long finger nails?
You will need to wash your hands and nails with something like pressure washer after eating.
HealthRe: Brushing Before Or After Eating In The Morning. Which Is Best Practice? by esemes256: 9:14am On Nov 21, 2023
It depends. For me, I only brush my teeth when I feel it is dirty and most times, I brush once a day before breakfast. If I eat alot during the day or I take something sweet at night, I must brush before going to bed.
Oyinbo say brush twice a day but for me in Africa, I brush mostly once a day because I don't eat as much as the oyinbos do. Sometimes it is 1 0 1 or 0 1 1 or 0 0 1 or 0 1 1/2, etc...... If you know what I mean. wink

Education, education is the reason. Alot of people become drivers without going through proper training. The only way to correct these bad habits is by education and sensitization of the masses.

Ukraine that is at war obeys traffic rules better than the best place in Nigeria.
