Yes they will, if the election is happening in her fictional Ayetoro. I thought this girl is smart but she surprised me. Half of your 20m social media fans don't have pvcs and don't have plans to get any before the election.
Car Talk / Re: Car Got Flooded Today In Lagos.help! by Kelvin30286063(m): 2:13pm On Jul 14, 2022
LagosInter:
Many places in Lagos today were flooded because of torrential rain that lasted for over 9 hours.

The whole area was flooded by afternoon.

My neighbor's SUV was spared, my sedan was submerged to tyre level. It was parked though.
Like I couldn't see the tyres.

After the rain, there was water inside the vehicle.

It submerged the automatic gear lever too for hours and almost to the car stereo.

I have scooped out the water in the car.

Should I be worried?

And what should I do now?
Don't start engine for any reason, tow car to an auto shop, drain engine oil and transmission fluid, leave car for some days to drain and dry up. Add new oil, put your ignition in start but dont crank. Use a diagnostic tool to scan all errors then start buying and replacing them. Good luck.
Autos / Re: My Experience Going To Lagos To Purchase A Toyota Corolla by Kelvin30286063(m): 3:31pm On Jul 13, 2022
AbelAbdul:
Good morning all. I believe you all are doing great.
I want to share my experience leaving Port Harcourt for Lagos to buy a Toyota Corolla.

I embarked on this journey on Sunday 10th July.
I came to Lagos to purchase the car because of these three conditions;
1. I thought it will cheaper in Lagos than Port Harcourt.
2. I believed in Lagos I will see much of it and would have a choice.
3. I believed in Lagos I will get the best with everything intact.

Before coming to Lagos I had my preferred model in mind. That's 2005 LE model.
All these your story, I hope you didn't end up buying an accidented car. Cos they are notorious for selling accident cars at Apapa. angry

Hi Kelvin, thanks for the reply.

Good to know that language is not a big factor. Yes I'm serious and looking to move down this weekend. Please help me make some calls and let me know if there's anything available at the moment and the cost as well. I have a slim budget of 90k max.
I'll be waiting to hear from you. Thanks.
Okay, you can leave a message on Whatsapp so I can reach you easily. 09033012548

Is there a feeder station in the town? I mean like a mini nepa sub station.

Are there modern houses with boreholes or its public water works
Ondo Town is not a village. It qualifies for a city in its own capacity. Yes there are power sub stations, there are boreholes and there are good roads. It's a completely developed town. A little less developed that Akure which is Ondo state capital but it's right there. And most importantly, the entire Ondo state is very peaceful. Almost too peaceful until recently. Nothing ever happens here which can make it very boring and make people outside the state forget that it actually exist. Lol

Flipmac:

Ok, thanks for the info.
One more question: can I get by without any knowledge of Yoruba language? I know nothing in Yoruba lol
Thousands of people from other regions live in Ondo state and they get by just fine without any knowledge of Yoruba. There's a university of education in the town and people come from as far as North to school there. As long as you you can speak English or pidgin. You'll be fine. As for your other questions in the second quote. Most houses have boreholes provided by the land lords. Christland is not an estate. It's an area (connected streets). Getting a good house depends on what time of the year you search and how connected you are to the people cos a lot of modern homes have available houses but they won't put any notice outside.
If you're serious, I can help you make some calls but that's if you're serious.

Hi Kelvin, is the electricity still constant in Christland? And what's the current average price of self con apartments in the area?
Electricity is still very much constant in Christland and its environs. As of now, a self con will be around 75k to 80k. The 3 bedroom flat I lived in before I moved to my own house last year was 175k.

KristaPretty:
You need to think twice efore buying a Honda, except you don't mind if the left wheels pull of when you are driving. Almost all the road side broken down Honda I see has to do with tyre pulling off

If you don't mind, I recommend a Toyota matrix, tho some claim it's for men but as a user of one, I assure you won't regret as problems are over limited to zero, plus fuel consumption is almost same with keke price grin
I should correct you on this. Wheels pulling is not applicable to Hondas alone. I drove a 2006 accord for 2 years and never did it pull once. There were times I will drive past a Toyota that pull on the road and I'd be like but that should be me!
If you don't listen to your car, it will embarrass you, regardless of what you drive.

Car Talk / Re: Do I switch to a 16" Or 17" Rims And Tires??? by Kelvin30286063(m): 1:48pm On Jul 09, 2022
Moving to 17 rim may not affect stability that much but you will have issues with easy turning cos your tires will touch your fender every time you turn. Plus you'll deal with suspension issues more quicker than you should. Aka ball joints, upper arms and co.
16 rim is the best advise and getting bigger tires but make sure you maintain the recommended 32 psi for private cars. I've seen a lot of bolt drivers inflate their tires to as much as 50 psi just to make it bigger. Don't make that mistake.

Sometimes I wish instead of demolishing 'illegal' structures, government should convert them to some other uses.

What other use? Your building is going to affect the construction of roads and bridges, it needs to go cos there's no other usefulness to such building than the fact that it's obstructing a lay down plan.
Car Talk / My Review K&N Octane Booster by Kelvin30286063(m): 11:22am On Jul 06, 2022
So some of you probably know about my last post on my new car recommendation of only premium fuel. https://www.nairaland.com/7162600/how-solve-problem-premium-fuel
After some research online and a few discussions with some gurus here, I decided to use octane booster as recommended by some people and from reviews online, it works well to improve engine efficiency on cars that should use premium fuel only.

I needed to be sure which one will work well with my car cos from some other reviews, I noticed that some octane boosters are only for off road use and cars without catalytic converter.

After a lot of research, I decided to order this K&N performance octane booster from Amazon. Did a little research of the product company and they don't have any negative reviews plus it's an American company which means they probably passed some recommendation tests before they can sell this.

Long story short, it was delivered 8 days later and I used it for the first time.
The result is amazing. Apart from the fact that my car now has an improved horsepower, the engine drives so smooth and I can feel the difference in the performance of the engine.
I haven't noticed any negative response yet and I hope not for the sake of my new car. Lol

So if you're facing the same problem of premium fuel, I'd recommend you order this. It's not exactly very cheap ($10 per one) but if you don't mind efficiency over price then you should buy it. I bought 8 and in total that was $185 with the shipping fee (priority shipping) a lot much lesser if you don't want to use priority shipping.

If there is anyone in Nigeria that sells this exact octane booster, kindly indicate so I can keep buying from you after I used up this instead of waiting 8 days for it to be delivered.

How do Americans give you joy?
I work remotely for a tech company in US. They've never forgotten to pay my salary on 15th and 30th of every month and when we have a zoom meeting, they treat me like everyone else. Respectful and considerate. There were times when my internet will mess up my zoom meetings, they don't get upset or shout. Infact they joke about my internet being the slowest in the room all the time. It's been fun in the last year and half. Plus I get promoted too. I didn't expect that since I'm a remote staff.

Car Talk / Re: I Parked My Car, Went Into The Bank And This Happened by Kelvin30286063(m): 7:33am On Jun 30, 2022
Serial48:
I wasn’t in an accident, i just parked and me and my brother preceded into the bank to sort some issues that kept me there for an hour, I returned to where my car was parked and i found out that.. I can’t even explain it!
Sorry bro, if you parked inside the bank or across the bank, get a police order to allow the bank show you what happened while you were inside. Their CCTV will definitely capture it. And if you are lucky, you may get the number plate of the car that crashed into yours.
Once had a similar experience, that was what I did and it helped but when we later found the driver, he vehemently denied. Infact, he claimed he just moved to Akure 3 days ago lol.
Na sorry later end the matter.

...in dubai you cannot steal a spoon and get away with it. There are cameras in every corner, not necessarily street/govt owned cameras but residential buildings, shops, kiosks, supermarkets...its everywhere, even in the darkest alleys.
CCTVs don't need power 24/7 anymore. Technology is beyond that. There are solar CCTVs, there are wireless CCTVs now. Stay updated.

War is never the way, nobody wins ! Sadly the once very peaceful south east is now a no go area! If the citizens can feel so insecure, do u think any foreigner will wish to come invest that side?

You still don't get. It's not an ambulance, it's a clinic just like the normal clinic you walk into when you're sick. Just that this one is mobile and in water unlike other mobile clinics on land. Emergency response can be integrated into it but that's not the main service
Now I get it.

Your problem is a family problem, take it to the family head or his church pastor. Las las, you can call Ebuka and let them judge him in that joke of a show called Judging Matters.
On a more serious note, the sooner you move out of his house, the better for you cos when wahala finally burst, he will say he housed you and fed you and you have to pay him for all that or you have used that to cover the money he owes you.
