Hello Nairaland,

I need an advice, I am trying to purchase a clean 2005 lexus es330, but a mechanic advised against it and told me to buy a camry instead (Be it same year or a muscle).

According to him, lexus es330 is expensive to maintain and harder to get a good mechanic on the street in emergency situations.

Please share your advice from your experience.

If you are not a fan of Lexus. You cannot know the worth of this car. This is the cheapest luxury sedan you can never think of. Considering the functionality it brings.

Eba and Vegetable soup... Lol

Therefore, there shouldn't be need for unnecessary uproar in the country

“Scheduled visa and ACS applicants for Abuja will be contacted for rescheduling.”

The United State’s Embassy has temporarily closed its consular section in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja.

A notice by the U.S. embassy on Tuesday said until further notice, all consular appointments at the U.S. Embassy in Abuja have temporarily ceased for both visa and for American Citizen Services.

It added, however, that consular functions in U.S. Consulate Lagos are not affected and will continue.

“Scheduled visa and ACS applicants for Abuja will be contacted for rescheduling,” the notice said.

“American citizens in northern Nigeria with emergency services needs should continue to contact the after-hours emergency number for Abuja at 09461-4000 and press “0” to go to the operator to request assistance.

“American citizens in northern Nigeria with urgent travel needs who are travelling before Tuesday and who are willing to re-schedule their travel through Lagos should contact the ACS office at Consulate Lagos ( 01460 3400 and LagosACS@state.gov ) to discuss their options.”

The notice explained further that those travelling after Tuesday should follow up with Abuja ACS to confirm their appointments closer to their appointment date.

For details of the consulate operations, the notice directed affected people to monitor the Facebook and Webpage of the U.S. Embassy for a later announcement of resumed consular operations in Abuja.

The consulate office in Lagos is located in Victoria Island.

Topic doesn't tally with the story. Check your pronouns.

What is this one saying...? You dont make sense at all. If you are that good in English. How does it help the situation?

Nice write up....

But your assertion is wrong...

Nigerian can survive without play store, Google, Facebook, what's app and the rest...


I believe this will encourage our indigenous apps.


If you go to China today. The apps I listed above do even work there and the Chinese still survived it. And this encourage them to have their indigenous apps like play store, Google, what's app and so on.

Therefore I believe it won't affect Nigeria. It will only crunch the American sortware companies and China would be forced to penetrate other countries information technology.

A major trade war looms between the United States and China as US president Donald trump is poised to ensure that China doesn’t overtake the US as the world’s leading technology country. The trump administration has dealt heavy blows on Chinese biggest tech companies by imposing bans, fines and restrictions. If this battle for supremacy continues, very soon Chinese tech products including phones will not be able to enter the US and US tech products will not be able to enter China. No doubt China will suffer more damage than the US if it comes to that and we pray it doesn’t! A very serious tech revolution is going on in China as it is making huge plans to become the world’s leader in technology by the year 2025 and Trump said he is determined to protect American technology. Here I’ll be discussing the 5 ways trump is sabotaging the Chinese technology.



1. Plans to Restrict tech exports to China.

Although most American companies are not happy with it because it will reduce their sales, Trump is not backing down from the plan. He is more concerned that valuable tech secrets will be leaked to China via trade deals as China is already making big advances using American technology. We’ve seen Chinese phones already competing with the iPhone and lenovo is seriously competing with Dell, lol. The trump administration has made it clear of it’s desires to protect American technology but the companies such as Qualcomm and Intel are more concerned about their profits. China is their biggest market outside the US.



2. Accusing the Chinese phone companies of spying.

Trump has made it clear that Huawei and ZTE are security threats to the US as their devices are being used to spy on Americans and send sensitive information to Beijing. Although there’s no proof of these allegations, it has seriously affected the market value of Huawei and their Chinese counterparts in the United States as citizens no longer trust them. Huawei is Chinese second largest smartphone manufacturers after Xaiomi while ZTE is the fourth largest.



3. Placing a ban on ZTE.

US companies have also been banned from selling any hardware or software components to ZTE for 7 years for violating US sanctions on Iran and North Korea. If ZTE fails to settle with the US government, it’s Android smartphone business is as good as dead because it depends on chips from Intel, Microsoft and Qualcomm to make their phones. Google play services will also be removed from their phones and it will be almost impossible to sell an android phone without Google play services. Apple has a lot to loose if China retaliates to this move because it sold over 46 billion dollars worth of iPhone in China and Taiwan. That’s a lot of money to loose if China bans apple from selling in their country.

4. Plans to stop Chinese firms from acquiring US TECH companies.

A new policy is being prepared to ban Chinese companies from acquiring US companies with significant technology. With this new policy in place, it will be impossible for Chinese companies to acquire any US phone or Tech company. Recall that Lenovo acquired Motorola, a US phone maker and other Chinese firms have already made other acquisitions in the US. Trump is determined to block any further acquisitions thereby frustrating Chinese Tech companies from taking advantage of American technology.



5. Placing high tariffs on Chinese imported products into the US.

President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods will go into effect on 6th of July. The tariffs will target mainly technology products from China such as smartphones, laptops and other products. This tariffs will cause a huge inflation on Chinese goods coming into the US that consumers will be forced to look for other alternatives. I just pity companies like Walmart who import billions of dollars worth of Chinese goods.



Who will win this battle, USA or China ?

When two elephants are fighting, it’s the grass that suffers. Citizens and companies of both sides are going to loose big time! Ultimately,the same American companies Trump is trying to protect will suffer heavy loses. Huawei, ZTE and other phone makers in China buy chips worth billions of dollars from Qualcomm, Intel. That market share will be lost as they’ll look for other sources to get their chips. If China responds by banning America products, Apple, Microsoft, Ford, etc will lost a huge market share as well. Chinese companies doing business in the US will also suffer. If this war escalates and America decides to ban all forms of trade with China, there will be no Chinese android phones anymore because America owns Google and Google owns android. The US government can force Google not to licence the android OS to Chinese phone makers anymore, Facebook Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp SnapChat, YouTube and so on will also withdraw their support for Chinese phones.

How does it affect Nigerians?

It will affect Nigerians very well, infact this is a great nightmare no one ever wish to imagine. Our beloved Tecno, Infinix, Gionee, Xiaomi , Itel etc will be greatly affected and it will be the end of affordable smartphones in Nigeria. What happened to Blackberry will most certainly happen to them. Imagine waking up one morning to hear that Google has withdrawn support for Chinese phones and the phone will just be useless, not completely useless because at least by then you can still be able to make and receive phone calls. Lol! Where will the average Nigerian youth get money for HTC, LG, Sony, Samsung and iPhone ? Let’s just hope it doesn’t get to that and China and USA reaches an agreement really soon because China will not fold it’s hands and watch USA frustrating it’s top Tech companies.

Do you think Trump is right with all these sanctions or he is just being paranoid ? Tell us in the comment section

Dear Blogger CeeLo = Cee C and Lolu

Everything naa. Struggle for this nation. Its. Well oh naija

After dating her for about 6months, she told she is not comfortable with short guys. I'm 165inch tall and she was 3inches taller.

That was the lamest thing anyone as ever said to me. Because she made me feel like I was a dwarf.

JOEFY:
Hi. This a true story and I will really appreciate mature advice

I have been dating my gf for a while now (over 4 years). we broke up in September last year due to unreconciled differences among st others. Within 2 weeks of breaking up, she went out with a friend and during going out the friend hooked her up with a friend (who is 8 years older than her). My GF and the guy started talking and where even discussing marriage. After 3 weeks, I started talking with my GF and realized I wanted her back, it was a struggle but she agreed to leave the guy (they had not kissed nor had any sexual encounter in this time). roll forward 6 months later, I still feel she likes the guy coz the guy keeps calling her and asks if she has changed her mind.

I donno what to do and I need help with figuring out what to do. I told her not to hang out with her friend who hooked her up with the guy, but she says she cant, she even went out with him recently, which I got upset about

This issue has affected us and now we are not even in a stable relationship. she is effectively my ex. What should I do

Nairalanders with there hilarious comments. Anyways, I suggest you move on. No need to turn back.
I can tell that the lady don't love you anymore even before you asked for a 2 weeks break. The unreconciled differences you have been having with her is a result of the fact that she was tired of you and she wanted you to cut the relationship off. Ladies do that most of the time. They frustrate the relationship and make you get tired of it so that you will request for a break. This is usually the channel most of these ladies use to move to the next guy. So don't put blame on your self and don't let others fault you.
Just stay cool, move one, Work on yourself and make the best out from yourself. The best lady for you will show up. There are so many sharks in the oceans bruh. Be courageous

How can Nigeria be worse than Libya? This list is preposterous abeg

Driving in Nigeria is a bad idea after all. So many death rates on our highways. I think some people don't deserve to see a moving vehicle talkless of driving it. I really wish there can be a major reforms on highway driving in this country. I'm tired of this high rates of crimes, deaths and suicides in the country. This is a wrong turning point for us all.. Anyway RIP Girl

I wonder where Nigerian Youths put their moralities. This is a life show for crying out loud. Whereby millions of people are watching and kemen went ahead to perform such act. If a player on a football pitch makes a foul. Its the referee's discretion to punish him by giving red or yellow card. In this case if Kemen had not been punished. This may lead to rape in the house now or later in the future. Yes BBN isn't a moral show for the everyone that's why it was rated of adult only and that doesn't mean that there shouldnt be an element of decency in this reality show. Yoruba has this adage that goes. What you can not allow when your rich its when you are poor that you ought to start rejecting it. Big bother shouldn't have to wait until he has a rape case in the house before he condemns such act. Kemen has no right to fight back. He's meant to apologise to the viewers, fans, BBN and Tboss. To regain his imagine.
