Autos › Re: What's Wrong With Buying Cars From China? by lonelydora: 4:25pm On Jul 25, 2025 |
TechAI: I specifically mentioned Japanese brands of cars because I’m not interested in Chinese brands. What I’m saying is that the 2012 Toyota Corolla we usually buy from the U.S. or Canada can also be found in countries like China, Qatar, and the UAE.
What I’m unsure about is whether there’s any real difference between them — and that’s why I’m making this post, to get some insight. The East is geographically closer to Africa than the West, which means lower shipping costs. Additionally, prices for these cars in the East are generally cheaper than in the West.
Aside from possible differences in durability, I’m not sure what else sets them apart. I’d really appreciate input from more experienced folks here. The problem is those cars from the East are largely right-hand drive. Are you ready to do the conversion here in Nigeria? Also, you don't get exactly the same model. Haven't you seen European-made and Eastern-made Camry, Corolla, Accord, Civic, Hiace, etc. Same engine and little difference in interior. Another issue is bad wagon mentality of our people. Even though they have same engine, but they believe they are not strong |

Food › Re: Frustrating Experience At Amala Joint At Shomolu by lonelydora: 4:05pm On Jul 25, 2025 |
Moraklaw: Today, I went to a restaurant around Shomolu, specifically at the back of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) in Shomolu, where they sell amala. I had my own bottle of water, but the owner wouldn't allow me to bring it inside because they sell water. When I explained that I might need a specific type of water, or that I had purchased water in bulk, she responded arrogantly. When she told me that I couldn't bring my water in, I asked, "Do you want me to leave?" because of the way she spoke to me, and she responded, "Yes, I want you to leave." This experience left me feeling that the restaurant was not customer-centric and that the owner was unwilling to engage politely.
It’s disappointing to encounter such behavior, especially from someone who deals with perishable goods. I will not be recommending this place to others.
Editor: Google Picture used for illustration Don't you go to joints, bars, clubs, eateries and see "FOOD AND DRINKS FROM OUTSIDE NOT ALLOWED?" When you go to a place, follow instructions. You feel she sells water more expensive, that's why you brought yours. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by lonelydora: 11:26am On Jul 20, 2025 |
NiceLegs: This are my reasons.
1) I stopped going to church because I got bored and tired of the church services.
The sermons was no longer ministering to me. I go to church empty hoping to be filled but Instead I come back very empty.
I was no longer blessed after going to church.
There was no difference between me going to church and not going to church.
The services became long and tiring.
2) Also I stopped going to church immediately after COVID. Why? I realized that COVID happened. Everybody was at home for 3 months+. Nobody went to church yet God stilled heard and answered our prayers.
God protected us during those tough times even without us going to church.
I was waiting for men of God who show power and miracle to their members every Sunday to finally use the opportunity by rising up to perform miracles on infected COVID patients and heal COVID patients but no one did.
God used COVID-19 pandemic to make people realize that they do not need to run to a place to seek him, worship him and even get a Miracle from him.
3) Things became very hard for me while going to church. I graduated Uni, searched for a job, I couldn't get. I struggled financially so much while going to church. I struggled to get a job which I couldn't get. I started a small business. My little business struggled hard. It was as if my prayers will not been heard by God. It was tough. It's still tough. I prayed and prayed yet things didn't change. I just got discouraged.
To be honest, I just got tired and lost interest in going to church.
Why did you stop going to church? They no longer preach the undiluted word of God. Many of these pastors are now motivational speakers. The choir no longer sing pleasing songs rather they sing club-like songs. |

Daejumong: I am happy Deeper Life ladies are gradually modernising their dressing. Thanks to Pst Kumuyi and especially Mummy Esther Kumuyi for this laudable idea. Many young people have sadly and painfully left the church because of the harsh dressing formula especially for women.
