Nothing else but Benz.

If you have no technical inclinations, be ready to pay premium prices at the "stealership". But with Amazon and eBay, why would any sane person go to the dealership once your warranty is up?

The $5000 is it yearly?

I definitely love my car ... the smoothest ride I have ever had in a car. It was like floating on the air! But I started having double mind the day I took my car to the local Pep Boys for an Oil and Filter change, and they directed me to the dealership. A few months later, my headlight went out and I went back to the same dealership and my bill was over $1000 ... that's when I decided that the car is above my budget grin

I’m on my second Mercedes and I can tell you your dealership didn’t give you best deal.
Buy a maintenance package for about $5,000 up front, and they will fix whatever needs to be fixed absolutely 100 percent whenever you need them to. Including all regular checks and roadside assistance. Unless it’s an accident then you know it’s up to your insurance.

You can even get cheaper maintenance packages for about $3,000- $3,500 and only pay $150-$200 copay whenever something goes wrong.

I actually haven’t had to use any of the packages I paid for but the peace of mind it brings makes it worth it.

Think long term savings

Yup. I think they should be drafted into the senior team right away. Those guys are already playing close to their peak and if we allow them to keep wasting away in the cadet teams, by the time they graduate it would be downhill for them soon afterwards ... and we'll keep starting them based on reputations alone.

I think we should advise folks like Musa, Mikel, Ighalo, Onazi, etc to retire in peace.

Mercedes benz is a money pit. I drove a 2010 S 550 4matic briefly and the money it costs to maintain it in 1 year was almost enough to purchase another car. A simple oil change, you'll have to visit the dealership. To change the headlight, they had to put down the engine and a few other things and by the time they were done, my bill was over $1000!


The only way I'd purchase a Mercedes again if I am coming back to Nigeria for good. Unlike over here, maintaining Mercedes benz in Nigeria isn't that expensive.

If he's still the same Azubuike that I saw in Brazil, then I'd tip him to anchor the DM with Ndidi. He's good enough to bench everyone else in that position, including Onazi. Unfortunately, I am not sure whether he has lost form since I don't have access to his league games.

Why is Samuel Chukwueze still playing for the cadet team? The dude belongs in the Super Eagles already!

And by the way, is Azubuike Okechukwu still under 23? He too belongs in the Super Eagles team. Those two guys can walk into the starting 11 of the current SE team.

Nigeria U23s Probable Line-Up Vs Libya : Nwakali, Chukwueze, Dennis In Line For Full Debut; Awoniyi Striker
Nigeria U23 team will be up against Libya in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match on Wednesday, March 20.

Coach Imama Amapakabo is presently with his boys in Tunis - the venue of the match - and he is expected to keep a close watch on the players in camp to know who will be in his starting XI for the game.

Allnigeriasoccer.com has come up with the coach's probable line-up for the important away game.

Goalkeeper

U20 goaltender Olawale Oremade, who helped the Flying Eagles to a fourth-place finish at this year's Afcon U20 tournament in Niger, is in line to make his debut appearance with the Olympic team.

Defenders

Imama's usual and trusted defenders, including John Lazarus and Ebube Duru, are likely to be in the starting XI. Joshua Akpudje and Adebayo Ojo will complete the team's defensive unit.

Midfielders

Azubuike Okehukwu, who was the team captain during Samson Siasia's reign, is set to start at the middle of the pitch.

He will feature alongside Arsenal loanee Kelechi Nwakali, who will be the team's playmaker as result of his obvious creativity.

Bologna youngster Kingsley Michael could get the nod to start ahead of home-based Fatai Gbadamosi to complete a three-man midfield formation.

Attackers

This is one area where Amapakabo will need to consult his backroom staff before unveiling his attacking line-up.

Nonetheless, we tipped Villarreal teen sensation Samuel Chukwueze to start at the right wing.

Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi is likely to feature as the team's hitman while Club Brugge winger Dennis Bonaventure will be at the left flank.

Summary of Coach Imama Amapakabo's probable line-up against Libya (4-3-3 formation) :

Oremade ; Akpudje (CB) , Ojo (CB) , Lazarus (RB) , Duru (LB) ; Okechukwu (DM), Michael (DM), Nwakali (AM); Chukwueze (RW), Awoniyi (ST), Bonaventure (LW).

Nairaland GeneralRe: Lagos Chinese Restaurant Responds To Accusations Of Racism by Icon79(m): 6:10pm On Mar 19, 2019
Total BS @the highlighted. I am sorry, but they have NO right to prevent Nigerians or any other indigene from entering their restaurant. They can have a dress code or whatever, but to say that this section of the restaurant is strictly for Chinese nationals is discrimination and totally unacceptable in a decent society.

Anyway, it's only in Nigeria that going to a Chinese restaurant suddenly becomes a status symbol. In the US, most patrons of Chinese restaurants are the extremely lower class.

Listen, unless CR7 can lead Juve to UCL title then he's a failure. They paid top dollar on him for one reason and one reason only: to win Champions league. They didn't spend $100m on him to win Serie A or get to the semi finals of Champions league ... they have been doing those over the past several seasons. So the pressure is on CR7 to either deliver or STFU.

Bros, based on my personal experience with some of these coaches; if you're an African you have to work twice as hard (and be twice as good) as the other guy to play. The funny thing is that, sometimes, they don't set out to be biased but it's just the way they look at you and the way they evaluate everything you do.

True. But I don't think that he was given enough opportunities to adjust to the new team. First the entire team was playing bad at the beginning of that season, but only VicMo lost his starting spot ... the rest were given ample chances. Granted that he bought VicMo but I still don't think he was patient enough to let him adjust to the new system of play.

That didn't surprise me though because that's what happens to the African guy, once you play bad then you're off. The same thing is happening to Kelechi at Leicester.

Listen bro, Atletico Madrid is still a small team.Yes, Diego Simeon has gone a long way to give them some cajoles but when it comes down to it comes down to it they would reverts to their small team mentality. This is a team that lost TWO champions cup finals to Real Madrid, not to talk about conceding 3 goals in the extra time! Bottom line, they simply didn't believe that they can win that game on Tuesday .... that's why they lost.

Hence, it would be a mistake to call Juve the favorites based on that performance alone or based on Juve's performance in Serie A. Serie A has become a one team league. I would be interested to see how this Juve team performs against the likes of Barca, ManCity, Liverpool and/or even Manchester United before I rank them. Right now, here are my current ranking:

Barca
Liverpool
ManCity
Juve
Manchester United
.... in that particular order. But like you said, football is not mathematics so anything can still happen.

SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Icon79(m): 3:05pm On Mar 14, 2019
True, Juve is definitely a strong contender but I just don't want folks to get carried away by the Tuesday's result. Diego Simeon just got the tactics totally wrong on Tuesday. Check my twitter posts on that day, 5 mins into the game, I predicted that Juve is going to qualify after all. The Atleti team I saw on that day did not play like the Atleti we all know and love. They were playing with fear, making careless errors ... and it looks like if the game plan was for them to defend for 90 mins.

It was a totally wrong game plan by Atleti's technical crew. And if the game plan was to defend, why did they start both Griezemann and Morata? Morata should've started on the bench if you want to defend because he offers nothing defensively. All in all, the correct game plan would've been to take the game to Juve in the first 60 mins ... try to get a goal which would've changed the complexion of the game completely. Just look at the way Liverpool went after Bayern yesterday!
