Politics › Re: Tinubu Orders Clearance Of Power Equipment Stranded At Ports For 20 Years by gotnel: 10:52pm On Oct 29
Sheuns:
Which kain lies be these?

How will property belonging to the FG be stranded at FG’s facilities for 20 whole years?

How? Just how?
Just because of bureaucracy.
Lack of coordination
Unpatriotic behaviour
And the Nigerian factor

Nearly all the power projects contracts awarded since 1999 are standing inconclusive today
Car Talk › Re: This Car Made Nissan Lose Its Value In Nigeria Auto Market (pix) by gotnel: 10:32pm On Oct 29
Oracleee:
I doubt you read the article to understand the point being made. It is obvious you read it just to comment and attack.

At my age, I remember when Nissan was a big name in Nigeria's automobile market. From the Nissan Pathfinder, one of the most popular SUVs back then, to the Datsun, Almera, Micra, Maxima, Primera, and Sunny, Nissan was a household name. The Micra, for instance, is still widely used in Ibadan to this day. And the Datsun was everywhere back then.

And should we even talk about the Nissan Bluebird? That car was so popular that it was once my dream car growing up.
Nissan was undoubtedly one of the most successful automobile brands in Nigeria at the time and I believe was competing with Toyota at some point. I doubt anyone above 30 won't know Bluebird, Datsun or even that old Pathfinder that looks like a box.

So, when the OP says Nissan was once a major force in the Nigerian automobile market, he is stating a fact, not making an exaggerated claim.
The question is, what happened to Nissan?
In my opinion, one of the major turning points was the introduction of the Nissan Murano into the Nigerian market. The Murano had everything going for it, but its transmission problems became a serious concern among owners. I remember an uncle who bought one and eventually sold it to his mechanic. Many other owners reportedly faced similar experiences, and that damaged consumer confidence in the brand.


Then came the Nissan Altima, particularly the newer models, which also developed a reputation for electrical problems.
These experiences contributed to the erosion of public confidence in Nissan. buyers begin to associate a brand with expensive repairs, they naturally gravitate towards alternatives they consider more dependable even as at then, I believe Nissan was rated ahead of Toyota and Honda. I will use chatgpt to verify the claim.


Nissan's Murano's transmission issues contributed significantly to the brand's loss of appeal.
That is the context of the OP's argument, and that is what you should address rather than dismissing his point that Nissan was never an household name. But then, perhaps you became aware of cars of recent hence your misyarns will be understood.
True talk.

Nissan was in the mighty name car category in the 70s 80s and up to middle of the 90s.
If anyone is doubting the popularity of Nissan cars in Nigeria, surely such a person is actually a baby born in the late 90s and upwards.

Nissan was once as popular as today's popularity of Toyota.
Something went wrong and Nissan fortune in Nigeria was downgraded and they found it difficult to get up in the car market up till now.
Christianity Etc › Re: Leave The Church Alone.- Buchi by gotnel: 2:33pm On Oct 04
God help us more.
Remember that when you are talking about religion,it means worship of something you consider supernatural or something mysterious.
In every parts and places around the world, people believe that there is a supernatural or mysterious beings.
In every places around the world people are worshippers of one thing that they believe in.

So therefore, let everyone know what he or she believe in and worship according to their own beliefs.

To those who don't believe in anything supernatural or mysterious, let them be.

Religion practised is a very old thing that has ever been with humanity and it will continue to be with humanity.

There are many beliefs around the world and all are good to them that beliefs in their own ways.
Let us not be antagonist of anything anyone believe in.
Scientific research and evidence shows us that life is not static, it continue to evolve daily.
Be it as it is scientifically, there is no doubt about the existence of God almighty.

How every particular people of certain countries see and believe in God almighty may be different ,but it doesn't take away the whole idea of existence and availability of God almighty.
Worship with your spiritual antenna so that you will not be exploited by anyone anywhere.

We are all created to be able to pull our awareness spiritually.
God help us more 🙏

Foreign Affairs › Re: Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Major Airport Hit By Yemen Houthis Drones (photo & Video) by gotnel: 7:41pm On Sep 19
In all of the fights in the middle east, it is only for the greediness of the elites
Petroleum products is the real cause of the issue
Islamic brotherhood is not strong enough to have any effect on the fights
This is the best of time to really see the clear picture of religion.
In the 17th and 18th century, the propagator of Islamic religion was very much influenced by economics of that time .
Today's production of petroleum products is the centre of attraction. Now we can see that it is very clear that Islamic society will forget about religion and culture to fights themselves to the finished line just because of money 💰.

Politics › Re: Tinubu's Campaign Vehicles Compared To Ambulance Vehicles He Donated (Photos) by gotnel: 8:37am On Sep 12
ayusco85:
The cleanest vehicle is for campaign and the other one is for health.

After seeing this do you still want to vote Tinubu again next year? 🫩

Source
Be sincere with your report.
This your picture of Keke ambulances is a very bad and bias one.
Where you have the Keke ambulances, you also have Toyota hiace ambulances together side by side.
And it comes with explanations.
There are 20pcs of Toyota hiace ambulances fully equipped, these are to be stations in the big hospitals in the cities.
There are 13 Keke ambulances to be stations in the rural communities for emergency services.

So next time, it is very important to report the full story as it was.
Not just pick one side to discredit the good intentions of the government.

This man has been occupieing political office since 1991.
Let us debate the economy, the security, the health and our roads

Business › Re: €1 Bread In UK Sold For ₦48,000 In Nigeria by gotnel: 7:39am On Aug 16
Instead of wasting money to import the golden bread 🍞 into Nigeria, why not study the condiments and ingredients for the baking of the bread. The dealer of the bread 🍞 in Nigeria will then get one or two bakers who have the experience and expertise of making the golden bread and start baking the bread here in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Or is there any other things being done to the bread 🍞 that can not be done in Nigeria?
Or the bread must be baked and packaged in UK for it to satisfy the hungry man?
Or is it just for the classical mentality condition of the people of Nigeria?
We need to recharge our economic sense to be productive rather than the sense of consumers of foreign goodies we have now.

Crime › Re: Confession Of A Captured Suspected Kidnapper Who Demanded ₦100M Ransom by gotnel: 9:10pm On Aug 06
Kalulu44:
That talk can pain me. Somebody you caught and he confessed, you're still calling him suspect. He's a criminal and accuse as charge not a suspect
As much as we want to believe that the guy was caught in the real act of kidnapping, even a killer with weapons in his hands.
The law says he is a suspect, until he is pronounce guilty as charged by the court of law.

It is very unfortunate that the law is not working as we all want to see it here.
In some cases, an innocent fellow can fall on the wrong side of the law, which requires a lot of time and tactical investigation to unravel the fact.
These are the reasons why we have to accept the fact of calling a confess criminal a suspect.

Politics › Re: Atiku’s Camp Calls For Oriire Kidnap Probe Following Revelation By Freed Teacher by gotnel: 4:48pm On Jul 19
lightwind:
The Nigerian military didn't get close to where this terrorists were staying in the forest they were in another village waiting. The kidnaped children and teachers trecked and walked for hours to meet up with them the military after the terrorists have released them. This is according to this teacher.
Like I said earlier it required a lot of tactics to deal with the issue.
I can tell you that the military were already in total control of the whole vicinity.
Both through aerial surveillance, technical data gathering of the areas, artillery/sniper shooters on guard and many other things that we can not be discussing here.

The teacher was just giving us his own side of the story as it were for his understanding.
What happened before they were told to go was not known to him, what happened with the bandits after the kidnapped victims had left the camp of the bandits was not known to him.

So, the teacher story is just about what was opened up to his present and understanding.

We should not be expecting that all the tactics and logics used in the rescue operations should be open to the public.
Many more of kidnappers and bandits are still operating across the land.
God help us more
Politics › Re: Atiku’s Camp Calls For Oriire Kidnap Probe Following Revelation By Freed Teacher by gotnel: 12:32pm On Jul 19
This issue of rescue of Oriire victims can only be understood by those who can think differently.

Those who were expecting a confrontation between the kidnappers and the government forces while the kidnapped victims were still present and in control of the bandits are very much stupid and don't know what is logical and tactical.

Before any confrontation can take place, the little children should have been taken away from the hands of the bandits.
This really requires a lot of time and logic.
This is why the government moves tactically to get the family of the bandits into captivity in the hands of the military before apparently applying pressure.
This is where the real rescue was done ✔️
This is the real result.

It will take some more thinking for this type of rescue to take place

Little children's that has grown up to make noise today must read history of yesteryear when they were not yet born.
This will help them to know what was there and who played certain roles before they grown up to see and can say something.
Today's politics should not be used to describe the truth of our land.
Many things have happened before we arrived at this stage
Travel › Re: Jet Loses Bearing, Lands On Second Niger Bridge Road, Takes Off Again (Videos) by gotnel: 9:47am On Jun 11
Three things.
1. Security breach
2. Accident
3. Higher level authority are interested and totally involved.
Security breach in the sense that the aircraft may have transferred some individuals or goods to the region which means that things might start to happen that were not happening before.

Accident is not strong enough here. The aircraft landed safely on the road, disembark it's passengers and goods and taxi very well to take off to the sky again.

The whole thing might have been a show supported by the highest level of government.

In all, there should be a thorough investigation by the government and the people of Delta state to really know what happens

Good car of its own time.
The car is still much good for today.
As for the engine issue, was the engine serviced properly enough when the car was being revived? If yes, then go for a good tokumbo engine.
If the engine was not properly service when it was being revived, get it properly sorted out with a good mechanic.
For you to enjoy the car without any problem, it is good to have the engine, gear, and the suspension system at top notch condition
Have a good ride

Politics › Re: Cost Of Filling 50 Litres Of A Corolla Car From OBJ To Tinubu Govt - Rufai Oseni by gotnel: 9:12am On Apr 25
This analysis is very shallow and lopsided.
World wide, prices of all commodities are going upwards.
In Nigeria, the minimum wage under obasanjo was #7,500
Under Yaradua, the minimum wage was around #11,000
Under Jonathan, it was #18,000
Minimum wage under Buhari government was #30,000.
Under Tinubu government, the minimum wage is #70,000.
Life styles under each regime is not the same thing.
The situation around the country is very tough, we all know.
However, the economic gospel must be the true issue for the campaign.

Thank God for Dangote refinery.
If you don't have Dangote refinery in Nigeria today, you will buy petrol at #2,000 and you will be on line for a day before you will be able to fill your car fuel tank.

Very good point you have raised.

Everyone leaving the sit of power in Rivers state always want to still be in control of the treasury.
And the new power man want to assert his own control over the goodies. This is the real cause of all the fights.

Business › Re: Why Shoprite Shut Down; Moniepoint Trying To Recover ₦2.4 Billion Loan by gotnel: 5:45pm On Dec 31, 2025
nedekid:
What's sloppy in a bank giving out loan to an organisation as big as shoprite with supposedly huge cash flow, abi dont you know the daily sales a business such as shoprite should generate in all it's outlets if working well? 2.4b might be just a few days or 1 week worth of sales. One of the problems we as Nigerians have is the culture of onigbese, we do not pay debt, even when we get loans we divert it for something else. Back in the days of microfinance banks, my paddy(God bless his soul), lived on the top flat of another friends house, that his flat upstairs he had never invited me there before. Funny thing was as he saw me that day he called me to come up to see something, I went, it was his new 48 inches China flat screen TV. That was those days flat screen just came out and was for big guys. Guy was living large. Few months later I notice he no longer had his car, I asked, he said the nissan had some issues, meanwhile I get Nissan too and had a good mechanic. Na so I de call mechanic for this guy to help am, bothering myself for nothing. It was not until one day that my paddy in the ground floor flat just told me to stop wasting my time, say nothing do that guy Nissan, rather he sold it out if duress, say they guy de shame to tell me! Howhuh?. He gave me gist say you remember when that guy bought big flat scrren TV, renovated and redecorated his house? That the origin of that money was a loan he took from microfinance to invest in the supermarket he and his wife owned, instead he used the money for goodtime. That officials of the microfinance came with police by 2am midnight to knock on their door, infact neighbours thought it was armed robbers, not until they saw the man and his wife handcuffed and been lead to away.
Immediately they were released the guy got home, drove the car out and sold it along with the precious Chinese flat sceen, freezer and some choice furniture.
Now imagine if that guy had poured the money into their shop, turned it around, then bought his TV from the profits after returning the banks money, naaa, we Nigerians will rather chop the capital, then as wike will say, let heaven fall.
This is the real Nigerians factor 💯
