ahiboilandgas:
we should worry more about cost of items locally ...

I agree with this totally.

I pointed that out cos I noticed some are want to dollarised their investments in Nigeria.

ahiboilandgas:
Sold sold sold .....Land 5000 sqm bought for 120m naira in 2015 sold for 290m today after been in the market for 9 months.

Bought for $666,666 in 2015 at 180Naira to a dollar.

Sold for $659,090 in 2020 at 440Naira to a dollar.

Profit in Naira. Slight loss in Dollar.

Betting is not a way of life...

For those cheering on for private chats to be made public without permissions do not understand it’s a breach of confidentiality.

It takes a matured mind to understand this

Understood.

But some are using that to hide the truth being revealed.

replete:
Okay this is good. Amdman discharged and acquited in the case of Jesterfly.
I have also experienced such scam along Benin ore road. I was flagged down for smoke and later buy a shaft head for 15k with abeg something I later bought for 4k in ikoku, port Harcourt.

Not so quickly. Not discharged and acquited yet.

Let Jesterfly reply him 1st.

Auto section of Nairaland have seen many cases over the years.

Interesting days ahead.

I think amdman should post the screenshots of the communication between him and his clients. Damn whatever non-diclosure you are standing by. Your integrity and business is on the line.

Jesterfly , he want your permission to post the screenshots of your chats. Please grant it to him.

uchman:
We dont need to know who is lying or not,
I understand Codyella because I live in Onitsha too and also Understand Amdman...

Kazeem ripped her off because no known kazeem that work on Ford in Onitsha and if you need their service consigning Ford cars, you will need to ask a question.

How many days did this car run from lagos to Onitsha because if the car has transmission problem, along the way when the car is heated up, the transmission problem would have surfaced which will take the driver some more days to fix, before arriving onitsha...
Maybe the transmission fluid is the culprit here, you know this Mechanics, if you are not around, they will not do what you ask them to do.
You may give them money for 23k transmission fluid and they will end up putting 5k own for you and the rest will be history, that's why they ended up condemning NISSAN MURANO in Nigeria because of transmission fluid which other countries still drive Murano.

Codyella
Did the driver requested for extra money while delivering to fix anything along the way like Transmission?

I like your objectivity sir. You are wise.

Jesterfly:
Madam thank your stars, yours was battery and a recommended mechanic that didn't do what he was paid for, probably he dropped off the work for his boys who did a shaddy job on your car.
Some of us here had it bad, but decided to keep our cool-the guy code thing.
I paid for my Pontiac may/June last year, the car arrived August, it came clean both interior and exterior, admired by everyone who saw her on the road, but na only me wey wear the shoe know where e dey pinch me.
Amdman claimed the car has no rust, in his own words "no rust at all", needs only a kick starter to start, no other issues. Omo, the issues wey that car get ehn, even devil go run leave am,had leaks from the moon roof, na so water go full inside the passenger & driver side whenever it rains or I wash it.
I bought and took a kick starter (9k from ladipo auto market) with me to the port, got a mechanic there to fix it for 4k, alas the car didn't start after fixing it,obviously the kick starter wasn't the issue, had to tow it with 25k to my house cos allowing it to sleep in the port would incur more cost on me. I later got some auto electricians to make it start for 40k.
That was the first phase of trying to bring the car to life, the next phase was fixing the rust underneath the vehicle, I've never seen so much rust on a car in my entire life. Fixed that too to an extend, before the car could stand to an appreciable standard for me.
Every other month from August, I spend nothing less than 50k fixing one issue or the other on the car, the car was a nightmare to me. At a point I even changed top Gasket, cos it got burnt.
I got tired of the car and sold it off at a give away price, when I called Amdman and told him I've sold my Pontiac, his first response was to laugh. I asked him to get me another (knowing fully well what I want & how to go about it this time around), he showed me 2 pix, but ignored me when I told him I want total inspection (underneath videos & pix, suspension, etc).
So madam Codyella, fix what needs fixing and move on, you don't owe anybody a breakdown of what you've fixed or spent on the car, ignore that dingbat who was asking you to explain how you spent the 100k or shut up for life.

amdman come and explain this.

2 bad reviews already. 3 more on nairaland will probably torpedo your biz here.

dicksonadams:
Madam please permit Amdam to post your chat with him... Or you can post yours... We will know who is lying.

She wouldn't answer.

Codyella:
Did you react to the one I posted or the picture I posted? Of course not cos you're seeing all these as a form of entertainment. I wrote a review on my personal experience not a reading sensation for you.

And if this is the only thing you understood from my write-up, then I have no business replying you further.

I actually empatize you regarding the car being below your expectations, but at this point I can say you've been saying only half-truths all this while.

You posted a pic of a filter which still proves nothing. I was silent on that because you and amdman were sort of in agreement on that and he said will get back to you on it.

At least substantiate your 100k repairs. Still no.

codyella

: The video I sent you shows a mechanic working on the car in my garage. So don't play dumb.

You know what, I'm done. You can say whatever you want but the truth prevails. Thank you for everything.

amdman

: This again is inaccurate. There is no such video showing any mechanic working on your car.

Please permit us to publish our communication today.

Codyella:
Reading through the comments of the hungry and broke mysogynists that are pissed by the fact that a woman has her own voice and refused to be silenced on issues concerning her own money, I simply laugh instead on the reek of insecurities oozing from them. You're pissed cos your wife or sister can't even afford to buy a keke or you can't even afford to buy a tire so my comment intimidated you? Nah, I'm not gonna rub your deflated ego.

You people asked for evidence of the stuffs I bought, I listed it. You people said I'm lying about the car service, I posted a filter. But you guys conveniently ignored those and refused to talk about them and yet asked for receipts and screenshot of my chat with Amdman. Doesn't this show that you are not interested in justifying what happened, instead you just wanted to crucify me cos I'm a woman?!

Telling me it's ordinary battery and stuff is just silly cos clearly you don't understand that changing a Ford Edge battery is not easy and not something you can do at home. Go ahead and browse it. Anyone in onitsha knows that you hardly see Ford mechanics. My only condition with Amdman before buying this car is that "the car should be in good condition" cos I'm not looking for something to fix. If this were a Japanese car, I won't even have any issues cos the mechanics are everywhere. If he had told me the car had issues, I won't have gone for it cos it will not only cost me more to fix it but it will be difficult for me to find a good Ford specialist.

Now, the car won't start and so far, I've only seen one person that knows stuff about the car. How then will I know if he's been truthful or not?! I told Amdman my issues with Ford, still he assured me that I won't work on anything for at least a year except for servicing. Only for him to send the car and it's been one thing or the other and I've not even driven the car for once! To top it off, when I complained to him, he seemed non-chalant about it.

Well, I have written a review on my personal experience, you loyalists can continue saying stuffs about me, I honestly don't care cos you might be in one cubicle typing rubbish and I'm supposed to take offence with your keypad prowess? Lol... Y'all miss me on that bullshit.

Yeah ma'am. You listed what you bought, but you didn't substantiate it with pictures. You were asked the pics of either what you bought or what was removed if the bought items are already fixed and can't be snap again. Anybody, including those who never buy a car yet, can lists repairs done and items bought.

A car you never drove once and all that repairs..? How were the faults diagnosed..? By your mechanic probably, who for all intent, saw another way to make a killing.

Finally, amdman asked for your permission to post the communication between you two but you didn't reply to that. Pls do ma'am.

@Codyella

Please show amdman as the liar/rogue that you THINK he is by doing the following:

1. Give him permission to post the communication between the two of you.
2. Tell us how you knew the transmission is bad, since the car is still parked in your garrage.
3. Snapshots of the replaced parts.
4. Refute or otherwise confirm his reply that you didn't send him any video.

I truly feared your car has been Kazeemised.

pasol4real:
Which ore will soon turn to an industrial hub.
I don’t understand why ppl like to deceive themselves unnecessarily. Truth of the matter is yorubas are not industrial in nature. We all know why Lagos is an industrial state ,cos Lagos is more like a no mans land. And it was developed by the fg n foreigners. As for ogun state ,it is industrial cos of its proximity to Lagos. Most of the industries there are owned by foreigners.
So the only way ore or ondo at large would be industrialized would be if ogun state becomes saturated like Lagos has become. Then industrialist in their quest for a location close to Lagos can now move to the next n closest state been ondo state.

The next closest state to Lagos and Ogun is Ondo? Clap for yourself.

Pentagon007:
Do you even know the enormous threat those Rusty corrugated roof pose on the life of Yorubas? With the evident poverty there, it is pretty obvious those people cannot access borehole water and thus will rely on rain water dropping from those Rusty roofs.
In the East, clean borehole water is the cheapest thing you can access. It is not even a luxury because most building have it done even before the building is erected and adorned with Modern new Zealand roofing sheets

Borehole water is the cheapest thing in Enugu? Lie softly omo ibo. The only place that have good borehole water in Enugu metropolis is Nigerian Breweries. It is so bad that Enugu relies on NB borehole water.

The borehole depth required for clean water can not be afforded by individuals there. Water, clean water, is a LUXURY in Enugu.

Pentagon007:
The whole environment looks disgusting. Look at the massive brown roofs surrounding the environment. This picture offers a more credible statistics on the extreme poverty ravaging Yoruba land. SW needs to invest more in their people so as to improve their living situation.

This is how you people will be foaming in the mouth.

The best state in the East, Enugu, have many brown roofs. From Idaw River Layout, Akwunanaw, Emene and even New Haven. In fact many more than Ibadan that you maligned so much.

And for your information, the ownership structure in the SW is what makes brownroofs to abound there when it comes to old houses.
