Car Talk / Re: 16 Suvs You Can Buy With ₦4 Million Or Less by IamShiningStar(f): 2:19pm On Sep 05, 2019
AutoJoshNG:
An average Nigerian would rather buy a foreign used vehicle than a brand new car. One of the factors that scare people away from buying brand new cars is the import duty placed on brand new cars.

Remember you can easily check the price of any car with our car price checker Here.

We at Autojosh made a list of SUVs you can buy if you have up to ₦4 million or less. There are many people out there who prefer SUVs to sedan due to the naturgoode of roads we have in Nigerian. There are several other reasons why they prefer SUVs anyways.

If you have ₦4 million or less at hand and you want to buy a foreign used SUV, here are some of the cars you can go for.

NB: The cars listed here are all foreign used SUVs and not Nigerian used.
They are:

1. Toyota Landcruiser:

If you indeed want to own a Landcruiser and you don’t have much money packed in your bank account, the 2001 model of the Toyota Landcruiser is your best bet. With N3.5million you can get a good one. If you want a higher model like the 2016 model, you’ll need to have up to N20million.


2. Honda Pilot:

The Honda Pilot is one of the most rugged SUVs produced by Honda. With N4million or less, you can get a 2009 Honda Pilot SUV. Other models below 2009 are relatively cheaper when compared to its Toyota counterpart.


3. Toyota 4Runner:

The price of this car varies with year. You can get the 2007 model with N3.7million. Higher models will make you add extra hundred thousands of Naira.


4. Honda CR-V:

N3.5million is enough to get you a 2009 Honda CR-V SUV. N1.9million can get the 2004 model. With N1.6million you can also be a proud owner of a Honda SUV. We are talking about the 2001 model. N1.9million can get you the 2004 model.


5. Toyota Rav4:

N3.5million can get you the 2008 model. The 2005 model can be purchased with N2.5million. Every other model below 2005 falls below N2.5million.


6. Ford Escape:

This is the first American SUV to make it to this list. If you have up to N3.8million, you can comfortably get a 2012 Ford Escape for yourself. Every other model below 2012 falls below N3.5million.


7. Acura MDX:

The old model Acura MDX is one of the cheapest SUVS out there. With N1.8million you can get a very good 2004 Acura MDX. N3.5 million is more than enough to get you the 2007 model.


8. Lexus RX300:

N1.850million to N2.3million can get you a good one depending on the model.


9. Ford Edge:

This is another American SUV you can get below N4million. With N3.2million, you can get the 2008 model Ford Edge.


10. Nissan Xterra:

Nissan Xterra is not a car Nigerians so much like. The demand for the car is not all that encouraging. But if against all these odds you still want to own a Nissan Xterra, you can get the 2005 model with N3million or less. N2million will comfortably get you the 2004 model.

It’s good you know this car doesn’t have decent fuel consumption and it roars more than a lion.


11. Lexus RX350:

We are talking about the 2008 model and not the 2010 model. With N4 million, you can get yourself a good one.


12. Toyota Sequoia:

With N4million you can be a proud owner of 2006 Toyota Sequoia. If that price is on the high side, you can still get the 2001 model at a price around N2.2million.


13. Lexus RX330:


14. Nissan Pathfinder:

The 2009 model and every other model below it fall below N4million mark.


15. Nissan Armada:

N4million or less can get you this big Nissan Armada SUV.


16. Mercedes Benz ML350:

With N4million, you can get a good 2006 Mercedes Benz ML350


Which other SUVs can one get below N4million? Let's know them using the comment section.

Nairaland / General / Re: How To Fight Depression In Nigeria: What To Do When Depressed by IamShiningStar(f): 2:54pm On Jun 23, 2019
information1:
What is Depression?

In my definition, it refers to the state of your feelings to things, the way you think and how you reacted to the situation around you. Although Its something you can treat yourself.

What Causes Depression; there series of things that can leads to being depressed, Depression causes feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in something you once enjoyed.
Top 7 Causes of Depression

1. Drugs

2. Stressful Life Events

3. Death or a loss Of loved ones

4. Genetics

5. Serious illnesses

6. Other personal problems

7. Lack of Mush Sex

According to Ozy.com report; On Depression in Nigeria

Nigeria is by far Africa’s most depressed country already, with 7 million people diagnosed with the condition, according to WHO. … The National Depression Report, conducted by Joy, Inc., surveyed people about their feelings of happiness and Depression across Nigeria’s 36 states.

What To Do When Depressed? (READ)

On almost every social media heart breaks I thought this was due to lack of financial stability, but then I saw a lecturer following the route, it dawn on me that it was never about money. Depression is a, and it has a lot to do with every area of our life…starting from the everyday decisions we make, the attitude of people around us, how often we hear the word NO, and much more.

But for whatever reason, suicide should never be an option! Killing yourself means you’re a failure, a coward, an ingrate, a careless, a thoughtless, visionless, purposeless, and a very selfish person!

There is always a wide range of alternatives, options, and solutions to your depression rather than killing yourself.

If you think you’re poor, you’re not the poorest; if you think you’re rich, you’re not the richest; if you think you’re pretty, you’re not the most beautiful; if you feel you have problems, you will sober when you hear the problem of others. Whatever situation you are in life, there are always millions of people behind you! The fact that you don’t know or see others with the same problem doesn’t mean you’re the only one in the world who have such issues.

If you ever thought of suicide, you’ve only decided to transfer your problems or depression to others; you didn’t solve the problem!

1. What about the people who are supposed to look up to you?
2. What happens to the people you suppose to help succeed in life?
3. How about the people you’re supposed to be there for?
4. What happens to all of these people when you’re dead?

Before you think about suicide once again, bear it in mind that you’re only creating additional problems with the one on the ground. Be a survivor, look for solutions, seek alternatives, change location, talk to people, and stop isolating yourself!

There is a gazillion of ways to solve a problem, why create more and suffer your family by committing suicide instead of solving the problem and proof to everyone you’re a winner and not a loser? You can’t win if you quit remembering? Victory is not for quitters! Wake up and bounce back! You can do it! You’re strong! You’re courageous! Don’t allow your memory to be erased and replaced with negative thoughts! There is a talent buried in you, dig it up, and show the world!

We need you and your family needs you more!

Education / Re: Secrets To Make The Grace Of Prosperity Abound Upon You by IamShiningStar(f): 10:30pm On Jun 19, 2019
sharpguy10:
In you there is a gift called the gift of prosperity. With this grace you don't struggle for any thing but get them cheaply. When this grace is at work in your life, anything you touch turn to success and prosperity. Another thing this grace does for you is that, it give you quick understanding of what to do to get anything you want done.

So since you have this grace in you, there is something you need to do to keep doing to maintain this gift and keep increasing in it. So many people have this gift but don't know how to increase or maintain. When they are down, they think they have lost it. One thing you have to know is that whatever God give to you by His Grace (Jesus) you can never lost it or God take it away from you. It is in you forever. If you are in that case of thinking you lost it, don't think that way anymore, all you have to do is to follow the keys of making the grace abound upon you and that is what I am writing on in this post.

So the way to make the grace for prosperity abound to you is
1. Let your heart be on God: God is the source of this grace of prosperity in your life. He give you as a gift. You cannot buy it or earn it but you received it as a gift. So focusing on God help you to connect your whole self on what He has already given to you and Him. As the bible said, where your heart is where your treasure will be also. So let your heart be on God so that all of His goodness will be upon you. Another thing that happen when you focus your mind on God is that God will begin opening your mind and give you wisdom and understanding on how to increase in the grace for prosperity.

2. Let your love be on God: Another way to make this grace abound is by loving God more than anything. God has already love you so dearly even when you didn't know Him. The only way to return this love to Him is by loving Him . When you Love Him, you will experience more of the gift in your life. the first secret of the Macedonia church was that they first give themselves to God, that is they put God first in there heart and then love to give. That was why they all prosper in every areas of there life.

3. Give out of love not what you will receive: This is most important key of maintaining the grace of prosperity. Giving open supernatural doors for you which you do not expect. When you give out of love not on what you will get you have open the grace door of prosperity to flow into your life. I know your mind will be telling what is this guy saying, I should not expect any thing whenever I give? no i am not saying you shouldn't expect but you have to expect it from God not on what you give. It is not the same person you give to that God will give you the blessing. This is God principle of prosperity. When you give because of what you will get, you have miss it already. You have exempted yourself from grace. You are in grace already, it is not what you give that bless you it is what Jesus has done for me and you that bless us. Those channels are ways of releasing and increasing the gift in us. If you look at the Macedonia church they already know that they are in the position of grace (that is inside already), their giving was not for them to receive but out of love to give that make the grace to abound upon them.

4. Be grateful and be thankful: You have to remain thankful always and be grateful for where you are now, what God has done and what you want. The level of your Thanksgiving determine the level of success and prosperity you have. If you look at successful people they are always happy and love to do anything they want to do. When you are thankful and grateful for the gift of prosperity you have, the ways to keep increasing in it will be unfold to you,
strange doors you never expect will be happening to you. for example when I discover that I am able to write a motivational book, I was very happy. That happiness open more secrets to me that i have never see in my life to write any motivational book that I want to write.
That is how it is. The more grateful you are in a thing the more of that thing you will see in your life.

Please if you know that you have not given your life to Christ please say this short prayer:
Lord Jesus I come to you today as a sinner and I believe you die for me and on the third day you rose again for my redemption and justification. Right now I accept you as my Lord and personal saviour. Thank you for saving me Amen.


Thanks for reading this post, remain forever bless and prosperous. See you in the next post.

Religion / Re: I Saved A Wonderful Soul From Commiting Suicide Last Night by IamShiningStar(f): 10:15am On Jun 17, 2019
Shepherd00:

Psalms 92:12-14 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree:

he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;



Pls let him know that our destinies are distinct. We don't mature and produce fruits at the same time.

As it is with plants, so it is with humans.

People with simple destinies gets what they ask for easily and in few years, no one hears about them anymore. But great destinies takes llllllooooonnnngg to mature and when they begin producing fruits, it goes on and on and many of those whom he thinks are ahead now will come back to collect from him.


Tell him not to compare his life with anyone's. Things are working for those he prays for, but the same prayer seems not to walk for him. It happens.

Tell him he has the destiny of a Palm Tree or a Cedar. or even a Cocoa plant.

Let me explain. Crops like groundnut, maize, vegetables, beans plantain, Cassava, yam, takes less than or not more than one year to mature for harvest. But, crops like Cocoa plants, Mango, oranges, palm trees or cocoanuts altho planted the same time with the first group of crops I mentioned, would still be in their germination stages or just still in the nursery.

It takes them more than 7 or even some 10 years to begin to produce fruits. Remember they were planted the same day with the other crops o. But, see the duration it takes for people to start even talking about them.

If you were a Cocoa plant that knows you were planted the same day with corn, and in 3 to 4 months people are eating corn, beans, Yams etc and are praising it, while you have not even germinated from the ground, what will be your reaction?

Will you cry, be envious of the Corn? Will you hate God for making you a Palm Tree or a Cocoa plant which takes forever before bearing fruits?

Will you cut yourself off from the ground like this your friend almost did?

What will you do?

But, watch when the Cocoa plants begins to bear fruits, its fruits comes every year for for years. while his friend Corn bears fruits only for just that season.

Now, all these years that the second group of crops are just watching others flourish, what will they be doing?

They won't be idle, they'd be gathering momentum by digging deep into the ground. their roots are sinking deeper and deeper into the soil. Their roots will get right down on the soil that they begin to suck from the underground water for sustenance.

They won't be depending on rain or to be watered by any one to stay alive. Dem don grab ground and when they begin to bear fruits, not only them will eat from it. Generations will be supplied by the fruits they bare. Neighbors, thieves, friends and enemies shall eat from them

When dry season comes, no shaking

When rainy season comes, okay o.

Wind can not shake them.

Tell your friend to find out from scriptures what type of person he is to God.

And he knows to tell others about the Holy Spirit, but can't ask the Holy Spirit about himself?



Wow! This is really amazing! Thanks for this great post!
May the Lord always give us the Grace to always remember who we are in the Lord! And most importantly the Grace to eternally remain faithful to Him with joy whether good or bad until He manifests Himself and His Glory fully in us/ until we begin to bear the desired fruits and more in Jesus Name Amen!
It's well and must surely end in praise for us all IJN Amen!

Health / Re: How To Manage Your Asthma by IamShiningStar(f): 9:17pm On Jun 05, 2019
koksy4all:
Asthma is a chronic disease involving the airways in the lungs. These airways, or bronchial tubes, allow air to come in and out of the lungs. If you have asthma your airways are always inflamed. They become even more swollen and the muscles around the airways can tighten when something triggers your symptoms.

Know your triggers
A trigger is anything that sets off your asthma or makes the symptoms worse. Dust and pollen are two common triggers. Exercise can be another trigger in the case of exercise induced asthma. Some people have different triggers to others: for example, you might be fine walking through the pollen-heavy countryside but start coughing heavily if you’re near somebody who’s smoking. Most people will have more than one trigger. Identifying your triggers should help you avoid or at least minimise your exposure to them. If you cannot avoid exposure (e.g. in summer the pollen levels rise considerably) you know to carry an inhaler and keep your airwaves as covered as possible. Read more on Common Asthma Symptoms here.

Don’t smoke
Sounds obvious but many people with asthma are also smokers. Of course smoking is harmful to your health whether you suffer from asthma or not. However smoking is particularly harmful to people with asthma. Smoking irritates the airways and thus makes the symptoms of asthma worse. Smoking also reduces the lung capacity, which exacerbates the breathlessness often brought upon by asthma. Smoking is the largest preventable cause of death and illness in the UK. 50% of smokers die prematurely, and around 100,000 people in the UK die every year due to smoking. About 1,000 people die due to asthma each year: 1% of the number of smoking-related deaths. Get Stop Smoking Information here.

Maintain a healthy weight
A number of studies have found a link between obesity and asthma. The correlation isn’t straightforward: losing weight is unlikely to cure asthma completely. However weight loss can reduce asthma symptoms and More

TheiSchooler:
Even though it’s one of the greatest fears of many parents, most of them often don’t realise their child is being bullied until it’s too late. The child may not want to tattle tale from fear of being subjected to more harassment by the bully or the child might be ashamed to spill his or her woe or show their wound.[i][/i]

There are numerous other reasons your child may choose to suffer in silence if he or she is being bullied. Therefore, you know it is your job to stay vigilant for your child and watch out for any worrying signs of bullying when they are away at school with their schoolmates and teachers.

Typically, the bully is a class or school mate who is a brat and often older. But what about when the teacher is the bully? The internet went into a rage recently over a viral video of a preschool teacher in South Africa repeatedly and despitefully beating a sick child of about 2 or 3 years old. The child was whimpering, visibly terrified and helpless. Needless to say, the video tore viewers’ heart out, especially parents.

The majority of teachers at standard schools are well trained for the job and know how to keep your child at ease and in the best frame of mind to learn. Many of them will go the extra mile to do this and earn the love and trust of the child. But there are teachers who do not handle their responsibilities well and some will even bully the kids in their class.

Instead of using proper classroom management techniques and mildly correcting a child where necessary, they use their physical strength to harass the child or manipulate or ridicule them. So, the child not only gets hurt physically but also feels and endures psychological pain.

Parents should note, however, that this piece is not an encouragement to them to overprotect or obsess over the child. It is just for them to be aware. Sometimes, older kids like teenagers may just need a bit of the toughness to navigate life better as adults.

You don’t go to school with your child every day, and so you really don’t have an idea about what happens there. But if your child is being bullied at school or elsewhere, there’ll be subtle signs.

Here some early signs to look out for if you suspect someone or some people are bullying your little one at school.


Your child frequently feigns sickness to avoid going to school

If your child is normally happy to go to school but has suddenly started developing cold feet or fakes headaches, stomach aches or some other illness, especially in the morning when it’s time for school, then something is amiss. It could be he or she is being bullied by someone in their school.

Your child may be feigning sickness to avoid the bullying or it could as a result of the bullying – or both. It should get you more curious and worried if your kid never makes similar complains and is his or her normal lively self during the weekend.

For preschoolers and junior schoolers, watch out for repeated excuses to skip school and stay at home, such as headaches or joint aches.

Instead of getting frustrated by your child’s reluctance to go to school, sit down with him or her and ask why they don’t like school anymore. Be patient and attentive, as your child may be nervous at first.

He/she becomes sad, moody and withdrawn – unusually so

Has your child’s general mood shifted? Was he or she usually excited whenever going to and coming back from school, but is now lethargic and sad? Worse still, won’t the child say what the problem is?

Psychologically, the child may have started associating his or her school with fear and anxiety rather than their previous view of it as a place for fun and learning. They may start to become indifferent to school and school work and their academic performance may drop.

While this could be hormonal changes kicking in if your child is a teenager, it could also be a sign someone is repetitively hurting your child at school. You know your child best and so should be able to quickly spot a change in their demeanour.

Torn clothes, curious bruises and scratch marks


If your child cannot reasonably explain why a small area of their clothing is torn or why their books have been missing more than two or three times, then you should investigate. If also the child sometimes has strange bruises or scratch marks on a part of their body, the child may be a victim of playground bullying. Ask your child about these things.

If he or she is mute, evasive or cannot explain them, ask them open-ended questions to try to unearth the truth. Questions like: “What happened today during school break?” “How did you feel when that happened?”

The child suddenly has problem sleeping

According to studies, 36% of children who have sleeping problems are silently suffering from bullying. Such children may experience parasomnia or nightmares. In addition, children who are victims of bullying may be depressed, which causes them to either sleep too much or have difficulty sleeping.

Withdrawal from regular friends’ group

If you notice your kid begin to keep away from his or her regular cycle of friends, keep a note of that and try to find out why. Your child may be avoiding her old group of friends because they are now friends with the bullies. Take a close look at the group to see the new face or faces, and right there you may find your answer!

Your child skips meal at school but binges at home

Has your child been weirdly coming home from school with their lunch box untouched and yet hungry? And even more strangely, they binge at night? Something may not be right.

Generalized fear

If you observe your child is developing a general paranoia and distrust about almost everyone and everything around him or her, you should get bothered. That’s often a sign of a deeper problem, and bullying at school is often a culprit.

For example, you may notice a silent generalized fear in his or her eyes and demeanour when you’re walking with them to school, they want to take the school bus, or taking part in a class group activity.

Your child starts to bully other kids

This may surprise a lot of parents, but yes, if your child is being bullied at school, he may be subconsciously conditioned to think being aggressive with his younger or weaker siblings and peers can get him what he wants, and when he wants it.

This is sometimes a natural consequence of being bullied and you should be worried if your formerly easy-going son begins to get assertive and uncooperative with his friends, siblings and even you, his parent.


What to do as a parent…

If you have a strong suspicion or a “good” evidence someone may be bullying your kid at school, your first instincts could be to storm the school, all guns blazing, and confront the bully.

But sometimes, it’s best to use a more delicate approach.

First, make sure you’re keeping your emotions in check and avoid impulsive reactions. Speak to the teacher or school administrator, since these people spend more time with your child during the week. Well trained educators will also considerably understand your kid almost as much as you do, and can easily spot when the child is exhibiting changing behaviours.

On a final note, it is important that you build a solid relationship with your child, so if they are experiencing anything unusual or worried about someone or something at school, they can trust and feel comfortable telling you about it. Children will stay close to people they find helpful and supportive.

Education / Re: The Truth About Jamb UTME 2019 Results You Didn't Know. by IamShiningStar(f): 12:46am On Apr 25, 2019
tradebot:
While we wait endlessly for jamb yo release utme 2019 results. It claimed they have been screening results by watching all the CCTV cameras to fish out defaulters.

The truth:
Jamb cannot watch 8 Cameras per centre multiply by 741 centres multiply by 6 sessions of exam.
8 x 741 x 8 = 47424 videos.

Jamb cannot watch 47,424 in few days to release results. Its just a delay strategy and releasing its last speech on result probing is to divert the attention of the masses while they fix the mess.

Let's pray it won't become another INEC database story
They can award marks any how they like if the database has crashed.

JAMB FAILED 2019.
thought the same thing! Las Las, it must be to the favour of the children of God by God Grace.

Business / Re: [urgent]registered Business Owners Should Go To FIRS For Their TIN -frankapptech by IamShiningStar(f): 1:55am On Apr 14, 2019
FraNKAPP:
It's no longer news that every viable business must be registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), whether it's an ordinary business name or a limited liability company, but this registration at CAC is not just all you need to do as far as Nigeria is concerned at the moment. Want to know why? Read the story of my experience with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) three weeks ago.

It was on the 27th day of July, 2016 when I had to visit Guaranty Trust Bank Plc to open another current corporate account for my business, FraNKAPPWeb Technologies. On getting to GTBank, I had every required document about my business including the CAC Certificate, International Passport, Utility Bill, Bank Current Account Holders References and many others except my business Tax Identification Number (TIN). The bank required that I should go and get my TIN from FIRS at any close branch. At first, I was not happy with the situation regarding the stress and fare and probably charges the journey will incur. But I quickly remembered some advert I used to see both on television and other media begging registered business owners to go to FIRS and collect their Tax Identification Number (TIN) and also register for Value Added Tax (VAT) for free. On remembering this my heart calmed and I zoomed off immediately to FIRS, Awka, Anambra State branch, just opposite Govt. House.
When I got to FIRS, Awka, I unhesitatingly passed all the bureaucracies in the Office including signing in and signing out, all done once with the high hope of getting my TIN and leave immediately. I finally entered inside the office where they are issuing the TIN. On sitting down, oh my world, drama started.

The employee there started to list all the requirements I need to get my TIN. In my mind, all these procedures to get just an ordinary TIN? I said no problem I will do them all and I must Get my TIN today. One of the conditions was for me to write a letter to the Director of FIRS with my company's letter headed paper. That was too simple for me because I always have my company's letter headed paper with me. I had to rush down to one of the computer business centers around there and print the letter. I even left my balance of N60 for the computer operator there because I was in a hurry to finish up. Now, I rushed back to FIRS with a calm mind of getting the job done, but I never knew that I just concluded Episode 1 of 50 Episodes. My dear people of Nigeria, season movie began from here.

At this juncture, the employee started telling me the story of Mike Ejeaya, that because of my late registration for TIN and VAT since I registered my business that I have to pay an accrued sum of NGN 40,800 before my TIN will be generated. God of Women! I openly exclaimed. I did not say anything until after 5 mins when I asked her...What? She wasted no seconds to say, "You heard me right". With a loud voice and with the feeling that customers are always right, I asked her while such a charge when I used to see on adverts that TIN is for free? She now said that the new policy is coming from their new director. Stating that every business owner is ought to know that TIN and VAT registration is compulsorily priority. That I was supposed to know that after business registration at CAC, I need to go to FIRS for TIN and VAT registration. To be sincere, I did not knew this and nobody not even from the CAC office told me about this. I did plead all I can with them that day but all was to no avail and their working time elapsed. Coming out of the office, I saw two other persons with the same problem; the first person was a case of NGN 148,000 and the other was NGN 90,000. The first person said that instead of paying such amount, he will leave the company to die off and go for another one.

After hearing all these cases, I left home peacefully waiting for the next day to come. And the next day came indeed. This time, I went to FIRS Onitsha to know whether the case will be different there. On getting there, my dear people of Nigeria, it was worse over there. Their calculation for my debt at Onitsha was like the one they used the quadratic almighty formula to solve. You know that feeling when you are dealing with -b +/- (Sqr ((b^2) - (4ac)))/2a.

I zoomed off immediately back to Awka where I went to plead and plead. I started displaying some innocent face. At this time, I got no liver to raise my voice again. That was when I started remembering some business laws that include law of diminishing return. My dear people of Nigeria, my voice went diminished. I even went as far as helping them to turn on their electricity generator. Finally and finally, I succeeded. I later got my Tax Identification Number (TIN).

Bottom Line

If you are a business or company owner registered at Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), it's a good thing to know that you are required to go to Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and generate your TIN and also register for Value Added Tax (VAT) before it's too late. You might be saying that this is all free but you can also agree with me that new policies can emerge anytime in Nigeria without prior notice. Just think of what the Dollar - Naira exchange rate has been showing our economy as a surprise talk more of mere policies.
I advise you now to go to FIRS with a letter requesting for your company's TIN. This letter should be imprinted on your company's letter headed paper and also directing the letter to the director.

If you find this guide helpful, do well to share it for the benefit of others.
