Chei, for hyundai matter. I will Apologise to Emeka My Eminent and esteemed client. I did not scam you and i will never do that. Maybe you were used to kazeem but my labour charge is moderate and like you stated, i am old with grey hair but Fashola is older than me and his grey hair is not for old age. Cnairo, i am sorry but i wont ask for you to bring the car back. Let an electrician make your car work without improvised relays and your fuse box to be controlling your car electronics. Then you will enjoy the car. All the gurus, thanks for your time. I appreciate all of you. One free octane booster. Merci a tous

Sir, Apology is not enough! One thing you should understand in business is that the customer is always right and they're the reason you're in business. Create a certified customer and not a disgruntled one.

Call this guy back and help fix his car at little or NO extra cost to him. He'll come back here testifying with satisfaction.

I think I can relate to his predicament. If I take my car in for maintenance, NO auto medics dare tamper with the original specifications of the vehicle. I won't tolerate any bypass I rather buy a replacement for a faulty item. No matter how he try to convince me I'll insist on "carry come" echoed in the local parlance

A kazeem once damage my car instead of rectifying a fault I instructed him to but the drama didn't stop there. He seized me and said I must pay him to the later kobo of his workmanship not after I'd spent good amount of money for the parts he damaged in the process of damaging the car further with his quackery. Anyway, I devise a strategy to take him out of the garage for a test drive and head straight to a nearby police station and lock him up.

Two days later after undoing the damage he did by a competent mechanic I brought the bill to the station and he paid it in full. Even threatened to charge him to court for malicious damage.

Joseph, I am unfollowing the post. You can cry to hell and Lucifer will gladly welcome you. I pray that you buy a good car and stop ranting like a drowning man. I did not charge you for work not done. My labour was 24k and you said that you will pay 7k and I left you to your god. Which you did not pay. Is your gear selector showing on your dashboard? what about the spark plugs, the air filter, the Mobil oil, the oil filter or the best oil that your car has ever received, the Castrol 5 w 30? You are still owing me 64k, when you eventually get a good car, my boys will collect the money from you. Good night and pray for a i35 and stop disgracing yourself online.

His car is a fantastic engineering model and he owns 1 out of thousands manufactured along it through out the world. The car is not alien.

Secondly, owning big and flashy cars do not make one a big boy. Most of the people that uses latest model of cars under use these cars, as the mostly drive to their offices in the morning and park and after work they're headed home straight. Some uses them for weekend runs and school chase and at the end the cost of maintenance is meagre compare to a hustler who uses old model of car for his shuttles, fuel, service and maintain and he's always on the move. Do the cost analysis on specified owners and tell me who actually is the big "oga"

What I am saying is that I'll respect a building contractor who owns and drive a 1999 camry to a banker that uses 2012 hyundai i35 base on car maintenance analysis or "big" to buttress my point.

So he brought the car to me and we started analyzing the problems with the car. The transmission fluid was grey in colour, completely burnt, the gear selector on the dashboard does not show except on reverse, the car had four different spark plugs, the air intake hose was torn and an adhesive tape was used to wrap it up, the engine oil chamber was full of sludge, the air filter was clogged, the engine seat was completely unseated that if you select reverse on that Santa Fe, it will feel like it is going to explode, the car has an okada pressing horn instead of the one designed by Hyundai, the gear electronics were muddled up together and the engine and gear were not in its normal state. When I saw the car, I gave it to my technician to test drive and he said we need to change the starter switch to make the gear to identify the gears it selects. Emeka Nwokolo was in a hurry to take the car back that day and I was all day contemplating on what to do, where we will get the parts because the Santa Fe parts are not common. I called all known suppliers for NGK PFR5N spark plugs and there was a guy called Bisi in Agindingbi who told me that there is someone who will get it for me for 10000 for 4 and 15k for 6 as the car is a V6. Emeka agreed to the price and said that we should go ahead. That was the second day. He only made a deposit of N10,000 on that first day. The second day, we told him that his car will not be ready as the electrician has not even started the work. He cried out that he will lose a million naira if he does not go home with that car that night. So from the cars in my workshop, I told him to try and drive the commander and see if it will be convenient for him so that he can take it home and not lose the one million that he will make that night. I jokingly told him that I have 50k inside the n1m that he will make that night. He drove the car out, went and bought fuel and came back and told us that he can manage it. The guy that supplies us transmission parts gave us the starting switch and two other switches with ten wires each. The one in the car has been joined left to right and it was an eyesore. We paid 30,000 for those items and we changed the smelly transmission fluid using our Pureguard which is compatible with SP 111. We used 5 litres.
The electrician that worked on the car did not understand the mess that was created in the car and in trying to put them right, discovered that the fuel was pouring into the engine. The cold start switch was not even connected on the car. I now advised him to use good synthetic oil on his car or we can use Mobil HXP. He initially gave us the go ahead and we used Castrol 5 w 30 in the car which he later denied and we had to drain the oil out and went to buy Mobil for him. He wanted to see the switches that we bought and I told him that if I remove the battery and bring out the switches, he will be responsible for the result. He insisted and I unplugged the switch for him to see and he then agreed to pay for the switches. This happened after we have been calling him to come and pick up his car. Someone who was anxious to use his car failed to come and pick it until the 4th day when he came with the determination to question my bill. Although we made an error in the bill adding an extra 3500 to the oil bill, Emeka Nwokolo said he had the intention of paying 7k for Labour, he does not need the synthetic Castrol oil, and that we should pour it out, which we did and bought him Mobil with our money. In order not to be provoked, I told him that whatever he want to pay, he should give them to my boys because I will never labour for 7k. Initially he agreed to pay for the switches and was about paying with the POS for 17k. I told my Secretary to follow him to the bank and collect the 17k. On getting there, he changed his mind and said that he will pay only 5k for the Mobil oil. I told my Secretary to let him go with the money as I am no longer interested in what he is up to. He dropped my Secretary and left. In all , he paid 60,000, the spark plugs, the switches, the starting switch, the transmission fluid SP111, 5 litres, the 5 litres Castrol oil, the Mobil HXP, the Air filter and the relays and wiring, one nozzle, and the countless phone calls to traders in the market and transportation to the market. And HE, Emeka Joseph Nwokolo is claiming here on Nairaland that he was scammed. Be the Judge

My friend, your customer brought his car problem to you to fix and as a professional you want to tell me he spent 60k in your workshop without getting the problem fixed and you're here asking us to be the judge?

Ok. My judgment is that he came to your workshop to waste his hard earned 60k he could've used for important things due to the fact that the devil is using you as a conduit for wastage.

Nonsense and ingredient!

Call the guy back, justify his pay on the car and earn your integrity.

The dead wife invited the devil into the marriage by cheating and now her family is destroyed.

She's dead, husband likely to be in jail and little children emotionally shattered.

If you find a new lover, for all things good please divorce and follow your lover. Do not cheat on a good man who is faithful to you cos his actions if he catches you in the action is always unpredictable.

The dead wife is the devil herself, the man she cheated with the demon personified and her husband a victim of circumstance.

Adaure4ever:
nnamdi kanu is the son of HRH Eze Israel Kanu of Afara, Ibeku clan, Abia.
He is from Abia and not Imo.
Though what he is doing is a treason act according to the constitution but its wrong to equate it to terrorism fanatics like boko haram.
Nigeria need to embrace Regionalism or Federalism or Loose Confederacy so that the whole issue of seccession will go down.

Understanding the word "treason" can be relative though but you brandishing that word without proving Kanu guilty is rather inconceivable.

He's fighting for his fundamental right and freedom of association and has nothing to do with treason. It's enshrined in the UN charter.

believe it or not my dear.... u touched a stone from outter space.... it's sounds awesome. wish it was in d movies, u wud have had some super powers n today u n I would have ruled the world together..... oh, d feel of power..... it sounds so evviiiiillllllllll......

Honestly I was discussing this with a scientist based in USA that return to Nigeria few months ago and he echo my suspicion saying I would've made a kill from it if I was still in possession of it.

Oh I forgot, it was luck warm ( a bit hot) when I lifted it and the light situation around the vicinity didn't improve until a week after due to the object landing.

When they get to the pinnacle of success, they began to speak how they'd surmount sexual advances but I haven't read about one giving in to the pressure.


.... More like our parents who use to remind us they frequently come top of the class during their school days when scolding us concerning our poor academic record

Part time student pay 105,000 with a smile in Uniport

I've witness such incident before. This particular day in 1990 in Ogoja where the present Union Bank is situated in Igoli town Ogoja, around 5pm during a heavy down pour what happen to be lighting hit that particular spot like a huge ball of fire from the sky. Everywhere within the vicinity instantly became dark as the lighting cut power to low voltage.

Following day I was curious to know what happened. I stroll into the small bush housing the bank now. Lo and behold, a hole had been dug by the mystery object with the object sitting right inside the hole. I lifted the object, dark and heavy as a ball of steel. I immediately knew this was a property of the outer space and dump it right where I found it with no one knowing what I've observed till date. I guess whoever found it later will take it as a man made object.

Men, that thing was so heavy but a bit smaller than our regular soccer ball

Until the senators from the South react, I won't believe what APC are feeding the nation to score cheap political point and enhance their credibility.

Something is fishy.

A President that cannot identity over bloated budget suddenly rectifying an oversight in the budget not even that it concern the 95% majority but something that will benefit the 5%ters.

mu2sa2:
Lest they should forget, fulani NEVER forgive nor forget the killing of a loved one. The killing will be avenged, even if it takes the next generation to execute.

Any retaliation will be met with superior force against them subsequently. That I tell you will make them quicken their exit from around that area of igbo land.

Gone are the days igbos fold hands and allow bad things committed by the Nigerian nation happen to them

Ebukaobi:
This is the problem with IPOB miscreants

So you think that the Nigerian Army has not improved its capabilities since 1970? IPOBS are loudmouthed lunatics whose only weapons are their mouth.

Can you see the difference between the Nigerian Army under GEJ and the one under Buhari? Is it because Buhari employed more manpower? Or did he buy more ammunition? No

It is strategy and efficient leadership. The Biafra war would have ended in 3 months if Nigeria did not adopt diplomacy in an attempt to avoid mass casualties. Gowon should be deitified by IPOBs because he showed a lot of restraint

Buhari has NO such patience. He likes quick, surgical and ruthless bloodletting. Thousands of IPOB will be killed in less than 3 days. Villages and towns will be pillaged and made desolate within a week. Remember that the government has a very efficient propaganda machine, they will manage the fallout and with the army of social media supporters, it will die down after a few days.

IPOBs are mentally sick and twisted illiterates. They sent thousands of emails to US senators and HOR, of course they were ignored like leprosy but they wont learn their lesson

The WORLD cannot afford Nigeria to break up! Who wants a potential 200 million +BLACK refugees on their doorstep? The UK, the EU and the USA will NEVER support BIAFRA.

I am aware that slowpoke IPOBS will mention Israel, China or Russia. First, Israel is not your friend, they hate all black people equally. They are commercially minded and will sell military equipment to the highest bidder. They will most likely follow American instructions.

China is expanding its investment portfolio in Africa and will not want the largest economy in Africa to break up. They are signing deals worth billions of dollars with the Nigerian government and businesses. They will not forego that because of IPOB stupidity.

Russia has its plate full in Syria. Putin is under pressure internationally and domestically. The pull factors (Oil resources) are no longer attractive. So no joy there.

IPOB continue killing Nigerians and you will face the consequences

Keep writing emotional thrash.

When the IPOB army lock up Rivers State and it's enviros, the federal government troops of Nigeria will fall within months due to paucity of funds.

IPOB will be trading oil for war equipment just like ISIS is doing in the middle east. Pray, my friend pray Niger Delta doesn't fall to the emotional demands of their eastern brother and neighbor.

You keep writing investment this, investment that by foreign Nations in Nigeria. The real Nigeria known to investors Nations are southern Nigeria while almost 70% of their stake and investment is domiciled in the Niger Delta / south east. Now tell me, which Nigeria are you talking about, the parasitic north or the productive south?

Ebukaobi:
IPOB has started killing Hausas

They have started carrying out their threats to kill northerners and Yorubas . This is what started the civil war in 1966 when IPOB grandfathers assumed that they had monopoly of violence and started murdering Nigerians

We all know what the outcome was.3 million died with their dignity destroyed. IPOB should be careful what they wish for. They should not start what they cannot finish. There are more Igbos in the North than in the SE. There are more Igbos in the SW than most of the se

IPOB miscreants, a word is enough for the wise

1960 is not 2016. A lot have changed! If igbos with a ragtag Army can sustain the civil war for three years in the 60s imagine what it'll be like in this generation.

There are large concentration of igbos around the world who could bring in war equipment with their funds, the large population of igbos in Lagos with their wealth can decimate yoruba land in a matter of months and the population of igbos living in the North are younger generation that can hold up their own when an all out war breaks out.

Mind you the war will not only be fought in igbo land this time but all over Nigeria so that the world can intervene and convene a resolution. It will be a systematic warfare.

What the group IPOB is agitating for is a referendum and not war. If the Nigeria state need war, they can let the agitators go form their nation then send 5 fulani herdsmen to enter their territory, destroy their citizens farmland and maybe kill in the process and then will they have the power to test their military might nation against nation.

Following up on this professional details

PDP will always win election where there are high concentration of educated people

Op, did you mean they disconnected the tracker on the Lexus Rx350 around Obigbo?

If that's the case, what then is the stress installing a tracker on a car when it can be disconnected at will?

These bunch of idiooots at the helm of this government should be castrated.

5 of Fayose and the islamist will not succeed with their agenda on Nigeria secular state.

johnfrankanoh:
yes i did. I was born at RCM hospital (moniaya)lived at ishibori, obudu street,ibadan street about 10years ago my family moved to the permanent site at agiga. Although I've not been steady there over the years, but i visit at least twice a year.

I stayed at ogon street, Port Harcourt street and mission road. Do you know Stephen Amama?

Swim some Rivers in ogoja and die. The water spirits or rather cult group will take you and even tell your rescuers when to come for your corpse if they'd think you're just drowning?

Only in ogoja I try urinating in a gutter and to my amazement live band was playing as the water travelled down the gutter after heavy down pour.

johnfrankanoh:
I can totally relate with that. I am from mbube,was born and bred in ogoja. I miss that town everyday and all my friends.

Did you grow up in igoli ogoja?

I traveled to Anambra yesterday. Oh my God, see roads. Honestly I wept for Imo state.

I am from Imo btw

I sat in my father's shop at No. 10 mission road reading my elementary text books when suddenly two Peugeot cars pull up in front of the shop and a man in kaftan with three soldiers walk into the shop, "small... (pat me on the head) where is your dad, I want to buy things" he said. The vicinity became frenzy as people thought my dad was in a kind of trouble and stayed away. I became more afraid and run to call my dad who was busy playing draft at ogon street with his mate. But while leaving to fetch my Dad, the mystery man quietly settled in the wooden stoll feeling relaxed. Dad came and mystery man made purchases valued over 3000 naira and it change the life of my dad.

My dad instantly promise to send me to school to whatever level I'd want because of the big break in fortune though he didn't keep his words.. Lol.

Mystery man turn out to be the Military Governor of Old Rivers State in the person of Col. Anthony Ukpo. So this is the same man I with other street kid usually chase his helicopter to the bishop court in igoli ogoja each time he is in town. The same man in my father's shop.

Igoli ogoja was fun. A sleepy town with all the fun fair. Maybe I'll use this opportunity to recount my experience of the town I love so much and wish I'd live forever

So there are two government with separate laws in Nigeria?
God what did my forebears did that made you to use Lord luggard to punish me?

For once...it is the fault of the airline.

You leave passengers hanging for six hours...no explanation,no rescheduling.

Arik air better improve.

No aviation fuel. Planes are grounded due to the non availability of the product

2sexynet:
Madam, this is just excuse. Why don't he solicit for support from fellow Igbos or bring more investors to help expand?

You guys should stop all these "They are preventing us from growing" attitude. Life is survival of the fittest.

Who told you that Dangote is the sole operator of all his companies? He is just the face... There are big dogs backing him and investing with him. The igbos should do same.

I am igbo myself but I can't keep quiet while you people keep spreading the blame game all over nairaland on everythread

Are you aware that Dangote can access forex direct from the CBN but other operators can't except from the open market?

Have you ask why IBETO cement is suffering economic strangulation?

Do you know that there's a Refinery in Anambra named ORIENT but the government hardly give concession to it but waiting for Dangote to build one in Lagos?

Are you aware that privatization doesn't include igbo businessmen not to talk of selling government assets to them?

How many nationalised company in Nigeria is controlled by an igbo man?

If you're born in the 90s definitely you're suffering from society inflicted propaganda but if you're born in the 80s quote me let come to an understanding

There's an igbo man manufacturing from Ogun State. The vindictive hausa fulanis leadership should stop misleading the consumer public with the emotional "heading" as a ground for Dangote into the tomato manufacturing business.

I just hope they don't frustrate the igbo man with unfavorable taxation to give Dangote a monolithic advantage

TonyeBarcanista:
Which law are you quoting from? Not even the USA practice such


Which USA law recognised spouses of officials? And what stops you from suing NASS?

Stop quoting me out of context or can't you comprehend written English?

I've not contested your assertion but trying to draw an analogy to justify respect of spouse of a public official. Stop sounding intelligent by half trying to buttress a point already obvious.

Finally, I find it difficult to accept the Nigeria constitutional hierarchy where a governor who enjoys immunity, has executive powers is behind senators. A constitutional lawyer can take this up in a country where rule of law is prevalent

Djbaka:
There's a difference between 'what is' and 'what ought to be'.
You can't bank on the latter to win logical arguments, it will do well as recommendation or proposal or petition and nothing more.
The hierarchy is not TonyeBarcanista designed, he only referenced it to support his argument. What are you using to support yours?

I think I've answered your question when I said if I've the capacity I'll sue the National Assembly on the hierarchy issue.
