My guy is thinking of buying a Mercedes Benz SUV for Christmas o!! He really loves the 2016 GLS550 and wants to go for it, while I'm rooting for the 2012 model. He has the cash to afford the 2016 model but being that I have handled the 2012 model and I really love that ride like mad, adding that it's way cheaper than the newer model, i want him to go for it. Though I haven't handled the 2016 model so I can't say what it's like.

Has anyone driven both models before? I would really like to know what it's like compared to the 2012 model.

We are our own problems in this country!!!! Why are we pitching NORD and INNOSON against each other? Why can't we be happy that the automobile industry in Nigeria is growing and so is employment opportunities? Why these segregation and hatred? Why are we making it look like NORD and INNOSON are in a competition born out of tribal jealousy (not even a healthy one)?? What is really wrong with some of us??

Good fellaz having fun..
when God Bless you..see reason to bless others too..#FanOfAfan

What kind of fun is this? There is no time dey gather and you see them having a sumptuous meal with fine wine or exotic fruits on their table...its always weed and drugs.. Which kind of God's blessing is that one??

zudozz:
So if musicians no smoke iiigbo they no be musicians again?

The thing taya me oo!! There is no time we see them gather that they were just eating good food and wash it down with fine wine or fruit juice!!! It's always smoking and drugs everytime!!!

Smoking upandan!!! That's another area they are very good at!!! Can't they just gather with cosmopolitan food, exotic fruits and good wine to wash it down on their table?? Most it be smoking weed and drugs everytime?? With all the money they've got see how dried they look!!!

We are the problem of this country.. How can sane person ever desire Tinubu to preside over the affairs of Nigeria? With what he is known for?? Someone who has turned Lagos to his family business? Someone who converted government properties to his own?( the biggest landlord in Lagos as they say) Someone who has put Lagos state treasury to his wallet. A drug Baron? Lagos state is in bondage!!! Why are you asslickers like this Na?? OP why do you choose to propagate evil?? Don't you want Nigeria to get better? Are you not tired of the condition of Nigeria?? Is Tinubu the only person you can think of who will make Nigeria better??

Azin!!! It's really annoying reading the trash posted by the redpill gang... That you experience from past relationships has turned you into something else doesn't mean all men must be like you.. There are still good women out there with genuine intentions for God's sake!!!

A sensible human would Atleast ask about content of a show or watch it before giving a verdict

But as usual a dunce always decides without analysis

Morning exercise is soft porn

Head of house games is soft porn

Arena games is softporn

Quiz and debates are softporn

Presentation from brands like Innosun, one Africa, Luna milk etc

Saturday night party with Nigerian artist and DJ is softporn

Conversation of Laycon a UNILAG first-class graduate is softporn

Conversation of Ozo a UEFA consultant is soft porn

Conversation with Lucy an homeless orphan Boli( roasted plantain) seller is softporn

i am a science student, from day one to MSC, and I have always wondered why a jetliner at high altitude don't overheat with the sun, while it's freaking hot on the ground... Miracle the pilot gave so much insight on gravity, gas and heat energy that I felt silly not figuring it out before then



Continue supporting foriegn entertainment content like LaLiga, EPL , Champions League, WWE wrestling, Hollywood movie and Bollywood movie, while degrading your own entertainment content as Lord Lugard's special follower

.

you are spilling all these trash to justify a show that promotes immorality... Is it morning exercise you are learning from the show?? Or how to play arena games?? Or how to win the head of your household?? Is Laycon the First unilag graduate to bag a firstclass degree? What have you learnt from laycon?? How has the conversation with a UEFA consultant impacted in your career if you Are not a footballer?? Saturday night party where they mess up themselves for the world to see?? Have you never attended a night party before?? Is Lucy the first homeless orphan?? What exactly is the vibe in this show if not the immoral act people want to see them perform?? What is the show teaching our youths?? What message is Erica (owner of Erica foundation) passing to the girls?? Please oo, don't justify immorality!!!

U just decide to descend on this entrepreneurs today....well good for dem....everyday business business business

they way they degrade salary earners is demoralizing.. To them it's like you can't make it if you are not an entrepreneur

I have been reading a lot on this forum about "so-called" entrepreneurs making mockery of employees and seeing them as slaving away their lives working for people. If everybody is to become an entrepreneur, who will patronize their merchandise? If everyone on earth is to have their own business setup, who will be employed to handle different functions and wings that make up the organization? One man can't be CEO, secretary, director, accountant, admin officer, customer service officer, technical officer, procurement officer, cleaner, security and driver at the same time in one organization. Everyone can't be Oga at the same time. This life will not be balanced if everyone was like that and that is why we can't all be entrepreneurs.

While some people will function better as the head and driving force behind an organization, others will function better when assigned specific positions or task To Help the organization achieve its goal.

Some even say you can't get rich by earning a salary or by working under someone. Who tell you? Are the top footballers of this world not salary earners? How many "entrepreneurs" are as wealthy as dangote's personal secretary? Or Mike adenuga's P. A, Are governors, ministers, senators and representatives not salary earners? How many entrepreneurs earn as much as bank managers? How many entrepreneurs make as much as most engineers in the oil and gas industry? I have relatives who can afford a brand new 2019 Range Rover sport. They work in different organizations. How many "entrepreneurs" can afford that? Just as employees have sometimes unfriendly terms and conditions attached to their work, entrepreneurs have to struggle with government policies and growing the business (which takes a lot of time) In fact as an entrepreneur, if you don't have the right connection and the resources, your business can't get anywhere. Most of the big entrepreneurs today were once employees.

The truth though is that not every salary earner is happy with their income but so it is for some entrepreneurs. Some entrepreneurs are making it really big too.

Whether you are an entrepreneur or an employee, as long as you making your money, and it is giving you what you want, you should be fine. If not, seek for improvement till you get to where you want.

It all comes down to what you want for your self, being diligent in it, improve on yourself, have patience and most importantly pray to God. Please let's stop looking down on salary earners because without them your product and services are worthless.

I don't have to be married to know that marrying to a woman as a Virgin is not directly proportional to a loyal, God fearing and loving wife because people change.

a girl who chose to remain intact even in this era of moral decadence , a girl who jumped pass all the hurdles of sexual enticement and temptations she came across in her life, a girl who passed through our "nigerian universities" and still came out intact and then gets married. You want to tell me she will change and start sleeping around after marriage?? Na wa for you oo

Yes, and I'm so happy I quit. After my youth service, I got a job as a facility manager for a suite that consists of 8 floors and a penthouse on the right wing. The floors are let out as offices to business organizations. Each floor is let out at an annual rent of 3.2million and each floor pays service charge of over 300k twice a year. All the floors including the 2 bedroom penthouse were occupied by business organizations. It's situated along the international airport road close to 7/8 bustop, Ajao estate. Though I didn't have any previous experience as a facility manager, it was quite challenging but I was determined to give it my best. I was also his secretary / personal assistant. I was in charge of anything maintenance as long as that building is concerned. My boss is the most wicked and heartless person I have ever worked for. Waking up everyday and knowing I was going to face him was a nightmare I only wished I could avoid. With all the money he makes from there (he makes over 32million yearly from the suite which is not his only source of income by the way) and the volume of work I did there, I was paid 35k as facility manager. No benefits, no allowance, nothing!! All I got was complain and mockery from him.. He choked me with so much pressure and frustration. Though I wasn't faultless but I always gave it my best shot.. I didn't have any experience in that field, which he was supposed to assist and motivate me to do better, but he was very far from that. He always looked for faults and when there is none, he creates one just to humiliate me. This is someone who is old enough to father my father. Even as an octagonerian,, retired as a successful businessman, having being blessed with uber successful children, established businesses in Lagos and his hometown in anambra, he still worships money like a pauper who suddenly stumbled upon millions. Ooh, he is so wicked and most cunny in have worked for. After working for him for 1 year, I realized that my life isn't getting any better under his organization. No growth, no advancement no matter how slow and coupled with the pressure I faced from him daily, the best option for me was to quit before I lost my mind. I didn't have any other plans in mind but I just had to quit. I didn't die.

I'm thinking of operating a fixed deposit account with one of our banks. From the little I know about fixed deposit account, it's like an investment.

A client deposit an amount of money in the account that can't be withdrawn until after a period of time that is decided by the client.

The client also can't make further deposit after the initial deposit to open the account. (I don't know if I'm wrong on this one)

The bank pays the client a certain percentage of the money monthly till the "fixed" period expires. (depending on how long the money is fixed in the account)

Once the "fixed" period expires, the client can either withdraw the money, renew the "fixed" period and extend it for as long as desired and even add to or reduce the money in the account.

I will like folks here who operate this kind of account to feed me with information on the percent of returns agreed with their banks, the terms and conditions of operating this kind of account with their bank and if there is any disadvantage of operating this kind of account ... I'm just want to invest in a bank whose terms of operation are friendly.

Na so 2 people Dey follow me argue the other day say folorunsho alkija house cost $700million to build!!!! Because they saw it on internet.. They were dead serious and the argument And couldn't even reason how a person who is not richer than dangote or otedola would build a house with over 300billion Naira!!!

Money definitely attracts a woman....


Anyone that says otherwise is a lier.... But love and respect I think keeps them.....

Well I would choose to have the money and attract alot of women which I know that the will cheat on me than to use live and respect and still b cheated on

With all the money Jeff bezos has, his wife still left isn't it?

Thanks for your opinion guys.. I'm getting positive reviews about the ZDX mostly. One commented that I'm looking for a car that will attract attention. Before nko?? I no want jalopy oo ! I want a car that my babe will see and no that me sabi better thing!! Initially I had to BMW X6 in mind but you guys have made me to seriously consider the ZDX...i still want someone who has used the X6 to give me some positive reviews.

I won't be surprised if he goes for Hillary Clinton.

I so much hate this phone call thing people do when posing to show off their ride. Why must it be that time that you want to make a call or answer call?? Can't you pose for a shot with your ride without faking a call?

If this was to happen in Nigeria, Ganduje, akpabio, orji kalu, Theodore kalu, AGF salami, Tinubu(he is actually supposed to be the first), Obasa, deziani, "Tunde", mamman daura, magu, in fact everybody for don go since!!! But Nigeria's level of corruption got me thinking..what form of corruption can be worse than what we are seeing in Nigeria?

HeavenlyBang:
Just buy the ZDX, chief. It's a great car. Shares parts with the MDX, so parts or maintenence won't be a problem.
Oh, and SH-AWD makes a better drive than the RX350 and Evoque.

And yes, the Evoque is pretty small inside. It's a compact CUV. The early EcoBoost engines were also terrible. That's the engine on the Evoque. You can never compare a 300 HP 3.7L V6 to a shitty turbocharged 4 cylinder, in terms of power delivery.

Buy the ZDX.

one problem people complain about the ZDX is transmission problem. and it can be very annoying When the transmission problem starts. If you shift the gear from park (p) to drive (d) or reverse, the car will not move even though the indicator confirms that the gear is in drive or reverse. They have to switch it off and on and change gears for some time (while the car is still stationary) before the car gets itself. Someone who experienced this same problem said that anytime he wants to go out with the car, he warms the car and fiddle with the gear like 2hrs to his time of departure. When he is ready to move, the car behaves itself. He says the problem happens when the parks the car for a long time (say stretch of 7-8 hrs). Imagine having transmission problem like this. What if there is an emergency and you need to move with the car ASAP?? Has anyone here with a ZDX has experienced this kind of problem?

I want a car that has got an appealing exterior luxurious interior, and a wonderful performance.. I feel the X6 has got both appealing exterior and wonderful performance. ZDX has got appealing exterior and luxurious interior while the Lexus and Range Rover has got luxurious interior and wonderful performance ... I'm just confused. I would have gone for the Range Rover but it lacks space in the interior

nurey:
Range Rover Evoque, it's small, chick, dependable and has the ability to out Run and out gun any nonsense on the highway.

so the Range Rover is better than the x6 on the road??
