Hannania: Switzerland and Australia are expensive to migrate to, but they offer a wealth of opportunities plus less tax compared to income. The Swiss pays the highest salaries only in match with the US.
It's not cheap, that's why few Nigerians are there. But for those there, they're chilling.
For International students in Australia, you can be making AUD 2000 in a week. Like damn. I guess because of their scrutiny, no jack and harry can just step in.
Recently, they launched a Visa scheme to take people with Two years of experience in IT or the Health field who gets at least 65 points more like the express entry for Canada (80 to be competitive ).
25-35 years.....30 points Bachelors degree....10 points 8 band in IELTS.....20 points ACS certificate(for ICT).....10
That's 70 already.
Forget the crap you hear about Switzerland. Their study route is so easy if you have the money. It's free, but you have to block CHF 21,0000. . Thats like 10m(8m previously no thanks to our useless naira)
In conclusion, We don't reference those countries because it's expensive to migrate to, but when in, they're the best after the USA.
I've been trying to do some reading on this but not getting any headway. Maybe I'm not using the right keyword on Google. Can you point me in the right direction?
Donjazet2: Jonathan was much better than Buhari! Calling Jonathan a disaster is extreme especially when we've truly seen the meaning of that word under this present administration.
But all the same, this is why we're saying bye bye to both parties.
Obi wouldn't be strong armed by the old party structures that have arm twisted previous administration.
If Tinubu wins, he would also be caught in a web of the establishment of which he is already a part of.
If I'm lying, can you tell me why Tinubu has NEVER spoken out against this administration despite the numerous failures? Show me where Tinubu condemned the discovery of this oil theft, or the numerous corruption cases. Has Tinubu even campaigned on eradicating corruption?? That's why we must do away with the two parties. LP winning is an absolute shock to the system. It's a revolution, let's all key in
I watched an interview of Wole Soyinka. He mentioned that after Buharis first term, he had a meeting with Tinubu and they both agreed that Buhari had failed and should not be allowed to run a second term.
I will understand why he didn't publicly speak out against this administration. If you disagree it's fine. Let's leave that for a moment.
Say Obi won the PDP presidential primaries. Will you not be here telling us Obi will be better than Jonathan despite coming from the same party?
Why is it now a problem if some people believe Tinubu will be better than Buhari?
TrebleChamp: Very crazy fare my brother, Lagos to Ibadan is still a bit safer than Lagos to Abuja. In a saner clime, APC wouldn't even be contesting next year's Election...
It was from PH to Ibadan.
As for the bolded, let me ask you a question. What do you make of the Obasanjo and Jonathan situation. One performed admirably the other was a disaster. Both were from the same party, PDP.
PDP just released their campaign timetable which includes a set date for Rivers State.
Apparently, he was never going to allow PDP use the stadium for campaign. He probably also got Intel they are planning to use government primary/secondary school so he's one step ahead. Wike has now banned campaign in public schools unless you get approval from the state government.
As someone mentioned elsewhere, PDP will have to do their Rivers presidential campaign in Bayelsa
I so like this election season with its unending drama
Conner44: I’d run to the scheduled 155k miles. An oil is only good once it’s been poured into an engine and used regularly for 5k miles or 6 months or it was poured into the engine, seldom used but in the crankcase for up to a year at most
So to answer your question, so far it hasn’t been up to a year since it’s change and storage I’d still use it for the stipulated miles allotted by the dealership.
Gluck4cars: It's whichever comes first. So 14/03/22 is long gone. You ought to have changed the oil.
Who’s at fault for the first goal conceded- Sancho or Malacia?
More on Malacia for me. I don't think the pass from Sancho was too heavy. Malacias first touch was horrible. He could have even allowed the ball run without touching and make an easy back pass to De Gea.
Even when MMM was obviously scamming people, some were writing epistle defending it.
I repeat, only a foolish and daft person will send his money to a Nigerian politician to fund an election especially when he has no means to monitor how the money is being spent and what it is actually used for.
dayjeee: Guys pls assist Is the below price reasonable for a corrolla 2003
Front shock absorber pad#4000 Low arm bushing#9000 Front brake pad and back#10000 Back engine sit#5000 Linkage &rubber7000 Shaft rubber2&grease#3000 Back shock#20000 Thyroid repair #1500
Lower arm bushing is quite expensive, same as the linkage. The others seem reasonable.
Midoda: One of my customer just notified me that Liqui Moly 5w40 Molygen he got from me in June has knocked his W203 C230engine. I am in shock but there are lessons to learn from this which is why i decided to share here.
Once you tell me you have been using 20w50 for more than 6 months i dont sell Liqui Moly to you because i know it will smoke and might damage the engine.But this customer said he has been using Mobil 1 5w30..the imported one. So i said okay no issues same synthethic blend(i was wrong)
How many miles has he covered in that time frame. That's between the oil change in June and when the engine knocked
Ibime: Sterling didn't do anything wrong. I wonder why una no dey watch ball as footballers rather than fans. Sterling was on a reasonable path till the arm on his shoulder slowed him down. It happens
The last touch was not necessary. He had the opportunity to pass the ball
Barbiturate: This is what I do. Someone mentioned it here early last year and I've bn doing that since then. My recent car isn't up to 18 months since I bought it. I bought it Tokunbo.
Like Oga pearl has pointed out, something could have been wrong with the engine before you bought it. However, if you are certain the engine was in pristine condition the time it was bought then I have to question the quality of the oil you've been using.
Out of curiosity, what's the original mileage of the car?
Conner44: Lol brother, you forgot to ask pearl a simple question before you posted this. The question is below :
DID YOU CHANGE THE FLUIDS BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TERMINAL?
How can you go to buy a tokumbo vehicle and then proceed to drive it off the venue of purchase without first at least changing the engine oil?
Do you know how long that vehicle had sat before purchase? Do you know that the vehicle could have stayed at an auction lot overseas for years before being bought and shipped to Lagos before it sat for even more years before it was finally purchased by the end user?
A 2015 Toyota Corolla could have been involved in an accident or flooding in 2017 and then towed to an auction house garage by the insurance company where it sat for 4 years before one Nigerian man sees it and bids for it, he wins the bid and then trucks it to the port to be containerized and shipped to Nigeria where intensive body, interior and suspension work begins which last an additional 6 months after which it’s ready for the dealership lot to be displayed for sale to the public. They won’t touch the engine or gearbox oh, just other affected visible areas that won’t trigger suspicions.
Then someone who isn’t knowledgeable will proceed to see it and buy it then take the key and turn the ignition hoping to drive it to ikorodu to go and show his friends and family to celebrate his new toy then gbam engine knock
He will then call dealer to complain and the dealer will tell him
‘ahn-ahn . . . But I changed the oil naw, look at the dipstick, isn’t it clear and golden color?’
And you will say it’s true oh, the oil is indeed looking clear and honey color meanwhile every single lubricating and detergent properties contained in the oil has been degraded or expired due to age and humidity while it sat for years in an unused engine in the hottest and coldest of extremes
The above scenario has happened to my dad. He went with his mechanic and bought a cargo van from wharf and on his way home it knocked engine. We later got to find out the van had sat at the wharf for donkey years. Oil was looking clean and all things looking good to go. Since that time I’ve learned a valuable lesson.
ALWAYS CHANGE ALL AVAILABLE FLUIDS IN A VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE AND BEFORE DRIVING OFF THE SALES LOT
now was my dad careless or ignorant? Or was it a manufacturer error?
I’ll leave you to decide
Interesting perspective
Let me seek your opinion on something. The vehicle was last serviced in the US on the 14th of December 2021 at 151k miles. The dealership put a sticker on it that says next service is at 155k miles or 14th of March 2022.
Vehicle came into the country in September at 152600 miles and is currently on 154k miles on the original oil that came with it.
What do you think? To change the oil immediately or run till the scheduled 155k miles.
If you went to buy a 2005 Matrix and the engine died before you got to your house then maybe you stop buying vehicles yourself.
There's absolutely no way anyone who knows what he's doing will buy a Matrix and the engine will die the same day.
We even buy these vehicles sight unseen no inspection from the US and with enough knowledge we avoid the ones with engine amd transmission issues talk more of the one you actually had physical access to inspect.
If you had said it was a Hyundai Sonata or any of these other cars made from hell I'll understand.
Well built engines don't just knock and you also allude to the fact that sometimes the damage has been done by the previous owner.
While I acknowledge that engines sometimes fail due to design errors and age, the human factor is responsible for a lot of engine failures in this part of the world. That's my point.
