How about CR-V 04-06?

Perfectly.

The Civic is OK.. I know it has some.factory defect related to stripping of some engine bolts that can lead to engine failure.. And it's not too friendly with bad roads due to its rather low-hanging front..
Also due to its small engine, it labors under load.. Its not the sort of car that you can put your wife and kids, load the boot with Christmas stuff and expect optimum performance from it.. Under load, its small engine gulps fuel more than some V6 engine, and is far worse when climbing a hill while fully loaded.. Then you will literally hear the engine screaming for help..

But it is sufficiently capable for town and light-load paroles like bolt, Uber and driving light.

No.. I haven't owned a Civic.. But I drove a friend's 2010 Civic which was in near immaculate condition.. Vehicle did quite nicely when not loaded.. Two bags of potatoes and one bag of onions in the boot and vehicle started acting strangled..

Reason I prefer higher capacity engines.. Those ones have no on and off seasons.. At the expense of a little more fuel consumption, one is assured of optimum performance anywhere, anyhow, anytime... Fuel consumption isn't the beginning and end of motoring...

You left out the location of some critical engine components that are near the underbody of the car...
While not forgetting the possibility of engine block cracking...

Gossipninja:
Wailing wailer.

Aso Rock is not someone's birth right. Bigot

Lol Tinubu promises total economic prosperity. And tax to be paid in full in alaigbo

Says a man who has always been anti Yoruba

maestroferddi:
That insipid Kayode?

Oga Rufai is the top dog now...

Dude is smart, fearless and bold.

He will destroy these hustlers called Dele Alake and Bayo Onanuga...

It is just that he gets restrained by the ethical considerations...

Journalism has gone beyond copy and paste and discussing banalities...

IfnobeGod20:
That's immaterial Mr. Man, who doesn't break law in Nigeria? Even you commenting here, don't you break traffic law? No single politician that doesn't break traffic law. That's just holding on to a straw for him telling you and your masters the gospel truth to justify why he has refused to honour their invitation.
If Tinubu is as competent and cerebral as you people is portraying him, he should not be afraid to go for an interview in any station, even if it is done inside the den if his enemies. You even went ahead to say he is serial law breaker just to look truthful, whereas he only had such problem once.
Let Tinubu come out of his cocoon because he is not bigger than the nation he wants to lead. Or are they also fighting him in NTA, AIT, ChannelsTV
or Kadaria also his problem.
Please you guys should be truthful even if it is once in a year.

We are not doing. Keep your vote. Lol. Lawbreakers

Themandator:
Then Tinubu should go and seat with the fellow and speak about his manifesto... Arise is not insisting on it being done in their studio or with their staff

Not needed. Don't vote for us.

PDP should apologize for bringing down the government of GEJ. Atiku in particular owes sane Nigerian people profuse apologies for bringing down that government.....due to selfish reasons.

Dshocker:
Did you say you are looking for driving job?

Can you ride okada, i will arrange one on higher purchase for you, but you must be a graduate before i can give it to you.

You see how you lost your chance urchin

Another ipob urchin. Stop with the drugs.

Proffessorr:
For you to call Rufai Oseni “empty”, shows that you don’t know what you’re saying!

The urchin named Rufai is not just empty. He is a criminal. A non sober criminal

IfnobeGod20:
He is an urchin for doing his professional duty. This is what has brought us to this state of national life because truth has become secondary to some people. This nation would never grow with this kind mentality. Someone want to lead a nation but want to be the one dictating who to interview him and who not interview. We are in for a bigger problems ahead. If someone that has not been a president yet can't be controlled, is it when he becomes a president anyone can talk to him. Everyone should just brace up for tyrannical regime. If you talk against them just know the next person you will see is cop and you will be buddle to gaol.

There's nothing professional about the urchin named oseni. Try kayode okikiolu of channelstv. I am actually afraid of that guy's line of questions. Rufai is a cheap urchin and a serial law breaker

Ivan18888888888:
Hello Everyone !

Pls Someone sold my car for 1.5m

What’s the right settlement(percent)% for him ?

I need your answers pls

So nobody wants to answer my question.

35-50k if no agreement. Some negotiate 5%-10% others 20%

Dshocker:
I weep for your generation to come, because your low iq will affect and define your lineage.

I blame your parents for birthing you, because you are a nuisance to the society, just ask yourself right now, "why haven't you made it"

I need a personal driver. Do you have a driver's license? Can you travel long distances? Beg to apply.

But on second thought I would not employ morronic personified entity like you.

Igbo urchins

texazzpete:
The truth is that the person who wrote this Oped would write the exact same thing if it were his brother working at Arise TV.

Sycophancy is a such a terrible thing. Everybody jostling for a position or appointment. Imagine calling a popular news anchor an ‘urchin’ while you’re penning this beggy beggy article.

Oseni is worse than a urchin. A traffic offender whose case should be revisited. Instead of sobriety he was threatening the officials with thunder and brimstone.... Saying I will call the governor for you!

Dshocker:
Despite the fact your useless parents sent you to school, your head refused to understand the meaning of conviction.

You are a waste to the society.

Olodo, Tinubu was convicted with heroin charge, but wasn't sentenced , because he had a plea bargain with the United States government.

Like I said... you're a morron. A waste of birth, scum of the earth, an unfortunate result of hot afternoon rape. Define conviction!

Skty:
Lol lol lol

Except it is rigged but the people are not allowing APC back. Assuming Tinubu was in another party, it would have been easier. Then Muslim Muslim ticket? Na wa o

I am a Christian. I am voting Tinubu. Vote your candidate. We are not ready for baseless talks.

Skty:
Point of correction:

I sort of agree but let me succinctly declare- Ahmed Tinubu is the next President of the Federal Republic of Iragbiji

On Tinubu's Mandate We Stand. Incoming Mr President Bola Tinubu

Dshocker:
These idiots are trying to deny Tinubu's drug conviction...

You're a morron. Where was he convicted? Can you even define conviction? All these spare parts sellers ...

APC hits back at Thisday/Arise TV editors, says allegation baseless

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, and Adviser, Media and Communication, Mr. Dele Alake have reacted to the statement credited to the Board of Editors Thisday/Arise Tv.

Onanuga and Alake in a joint statement sent to Vanguard condemned Thisday/Arise Tv Board of Editors and Obaigbena’s submission that they (APC members) want to silence independent media and bully the press ahead of next year’s general election.

In the statement titled: ‘Nduka Obaigbena and his Thisday/Arise news’ hypocritical grandstanding on public morality’, Onanuga and Alake noted that the Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of THISDAY and Arise News Television, Mr. Nduka Obaigbena pretends to be a guardian of public morality in contemporary Nigerian media practice.

They described Nduka as an unscrupulous hustler and blackmailer who has done tremendous damage to the journalism profession in the country.

Read the full statement bellow:

“Hiding under his media houses so-called Board of Editors, Obaigbena, who is one of the most irresponsible media owners in the country, with scant regard for corporate good governance and ethics, issued a statement Monday accusing the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, and Adviser, Media and Communication, Mr. Dele Alake of attempting to silence independent media and bully the press ahead of next year’s general election. This allegation is baseless.

“The statement published on the front page of THISDAY is illustrative of the penchant of the two media houses under Obaigbena’s corrupting influence to peddle falsehood and engage in brazen political partisanship, contrary to the ethics of journalism practice.

“It is instructive that Obaigbena’s media group is isolated in making this frivolous allegation against the duo. Not only does THISDAY newspaper publish unfounded rumours masquerading as truth, many of its columnists substitute vile and vulgar abuse for sound logic and informed analyses while its television anchors heckle and harass their guests, particularly those of the APC in their jaundiced, flagrantly unprofessional programmes.


We recall that both THISDAY and ARISE Television sought to bully and compel the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, into attending its Town Hall meetings with presidential candidates, despite the media team’s explanation that it would not attend such programmes organised in a haphazard and uncoordinated manner by individual media houses.

“Each candidate’s campaign team has the right to adopt its own strategies for reaching out to and interacting with Nigerians. As we have repeatedly said, the Tinubu campaign will not succumb to the blackmail, intimidation and harassment of Obaigbena and his media group.

“THISDAY’s attempt in the said statement to justify its false news report on the purported death of one Mueez Adegboyega Akande and the attempt to insinuate mischievously that he died in suspicious circumstances failed abysmally. Rather than apologise for this professional lapse, it resorts to tendentious rationalisations. Its futile attempt to link Asiwaju Tinubu to a drug case in the United States, even when as far back as 2003, the United States government had categorically stated that the candidate has no criminal records in that country, shows the depths of mischief the newspaper is willing to descend in its bid to bring down the APC candidate at all costs. This campaign of calumny is doomed to fail as it always has.

“Our candidate is focused and will not be distracted by this diversionary tactics to throw mud at him simply because he is the obvious front runner in this race and some believe that the only way to stop him is to peddle falsehood against him.

While pretending to be a public trust, THISDAY and ARISE descend into the political arena by publishing lies in a way that does such a great disservice to journalism. Last month the paper was sanctioned by NBC over a fake report that INEC had ordered a probe of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, over the platforms’ equally fake narrative about our candidate.

“Nduka Obaigbena tries to cast aspersion on the professional and personal integrity of Mr. Alake and Mr. Onanuga. They stand on a higher moral and professional pedestal than he can ever aspire to. It is astonishing that a man like Obaigbena can even pretend to be protecting public morality and the public interest. How does this media owner run his media outfits? He is notorious for not paying the salaries of his staff or fulfilling his pensions’ obligations, forcing most of the journalists in his stable to resort to the most unethical practices to survive. This model of media practice, which he exported to South Africa in 2003-2004, failed spectacularly as he had to flee that country as a result of his unethical business practices. His short-lived THISDAY left unpaid debts to staff and the printers and the South African tax office.

“He exported the same irresponsible business practice to the UK where he operated his Arise TV as a registered company since 2012. In 2021, judge Raquel Agnello disqualified Obaigbena from serving as a company director in the UK for seven years; in a case brought by the official receiver of the Insolvency Office in the country.

“The application for disqualification was made under Section 6 of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 and arose from the compulsory liquidation of Arise Networks Ltd of which Obaigbena was the sole director since its incorporation.

“According to the judgment, the company by 2016 had garnered a total debt of £25,671,167, which included debt to trade creditors and staff, estimated at £5,850,730. Judge Agnello found Obaigbena’s conduct as sole director of Arise TV to be unfit and that the company had continued to trade despite “complete uncertainty” about its funding.

“In Nigeria, Obaigbena is notorious for owing his staff their salaries. He is also notorious for owning newsprint suppliers for years without payment. This sharp practice led to the ill-health of one of his suppliers, Afilaka, who suffered massive stroke.

“While Alake and Onanuga, were known to have endangered their lives in the struggle against military dictatorship and the enthronement of the democracy we enjoy today, Obaigbena was known to have collected substantial sums of money from the military junta to campaign against the June 12, 1993 elections, widely acknowledged as the freest and fairest polls in the country’s history. He even featured on the CNN to justify the annulment of the election and the continuation of military dictatorship. Yet, this man dares to preach on public morality and the national interest. He even claims that Alake and Onanuga are envious of him! How preposterous!! What is there to be envious from a man whose business practices and personal lifestyle offend every known decency. Mr. Alake and Onanuga can never be jealous of a man who uses extortion, subterfuge, and cheap blackmail as his working capital. Here is a publisher who deployed his media group in aid of the immoral and illegal presidential ambition of a sitting Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) even when this flagrantly violated and threatened the integrity of that critical institution.

“It is absurd when Obaigbena uses his media outfits to push the false narrative of Tinubu’s link with narcotics in the US, when a member of his Board of Editors and Arise TV anchor, Dr. Reuben Abati, was a running mate in 2019 to the governorship candidate of the PDP in Ogun State, the late Senator Buruji Kashamu; a man who had been indicted for narcotics trafficking in the US and was a fugitive from the laws of that country until his death. The same Abati remains a card carrying member of the PDP and yet, shamelessly pontificates and postures on ARISE TV as a dispassionate analyst.

Lest it be forgotten, Abati was Media Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan and was detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in 2015 for reportedly collecting N500 million from ex – National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki purportedly on behalf of the media.

“Obaigbena himself was detained for weeks and made to refund N600 million by the EFCC, which was part of the diverted funds for arms purchase for the Nigerian military under Jonathan. Obaigbena as president of NPAN also collected millions of Naira meant as compensation for the media owners whose papers were seized by overzealous security agents during the Jonathan presidency. Many newspapers reported that they did not get the money.

“It is a sad commentary on the state of the Nigerian media that a man with no moral scruples whatsoever like Obaigbena will boldly pose as a publisher who can preach morality to others.

Here is a man who has done such grave damage to media practice in Nigeria, posturing as defender of free speech.

“Unless media practitioners begin to treat him like the plague and cancer he constitutes to the industry, the future of the industry will be endangered.

“It is well known that many private sector corporate executives pay him huge sums of money as retainership to avoid being blackmailed by him. It is also a pity that many of the journalists who work as his employees pose as self-righteous saints who criticise others and keep mum on the unhidden moral deficits and shenanigans of their boss”.
