with their bad network

Lol 😂

Glo is the worst network in Nigeria. They will make you unable to finish 10gb in one month because you go get data and you no fit use am.
Their voice calls is equally bad, like very bad.

MartinsD12:
Very costly always on used to be 45gb for 6k but since this data hike I can't find it

It's back for 9k

Cryomancer:
Na my local mechanic teach me oo. He said once you open your oil cap and the oil doesn't splash, then the engine compression needs to be checked. The reason it doesn't splash is because air is actually filling up the engine which isn't suppose to be. I've also heard two other mechanic say this but I don't know how true. But he said it's just a quick check for engine compression.

Even the noise will tell you something is wrong because you will hear how air goes through easily compared to when the compression is good and there's no air, what you'll hear instead will be like engine oil boiling and trying to splash/gush out.

No offense, bro, but this makes no sense. Almost every car has blowby and it is perfectly ok. The only confusion is how much blowby is normal and how much blowby signifies problem? I thought you have a good trick to detect too much blowby, but obviously you don't.
Just buy a compression tester and do engine compression test. Stop confusing yourself.

Cryomancer:
Hmmm... Does your engine burn oil and how is the timing too? Try checking the pressure of your engine. You can keep the engine running, then open your oil cap to see if the sound that comes out is mixed with air (that's a quick pressure test I was taught)

I use same EOD and my acceleration is top notch. I rival cars on the road and I've been known on 3rd mainland bridge for my constant speed between 4:30 - 5pm daily.

Kindly check your engine thoroughly... There must be an issue somewhere.

Please explain that oil cap trick. I want to learn. I've come across a lot of cars that have puffs of air from that oil cap if opened when engine is running. What does it mean?

Obviouslyblunt:
it has been off since today. I’m not home now, when I get home I’ll check if the service is back or still AWOL.

That is the problem.

Obviouslyblunt:
this is my speed with them.

It's not really about speed. I think we are more interested in the reliability. How steady is it? How often does the network go down?
Glo can not go a whole day without major interuption.

agoodman:
The 7th gen Accord is superior to the 8th gen. I drive a 2008 Accord but I'm going to buy the 2007 Accord soon as a second car. The 7th gen Accord is more refined and accelerates better from a stop than the 8th gen Accord. It's more beautiful too.

I actually agree with this. The only version of the 8th gen I like is the V6 coupe. I just love the simplicity of the 7th Gen.

Obviouslyblunt:
Let MTN be ripping Y’all off.

Please suggest a better network, and please, for the love of God, don't tell me Glo.

Leetee123:
GLO network is terrible, if it wasn't, MTN would have seen a decline in their internet subscribers

In my experience, Glo remains the worst network in Nigeria both in calls and data connection. You can not depend on it for anything. You can not make calls for 10min without shouting "I can't hear you" or hearing some demonic sounds in the call. It is just frustrating. Their data network can not pass a day without serious downtime. I mean no single day can pass without major downtime on glo. Glo should just quit if they can't keep up.

Turbocharged vs naturally aspirated.
Which do you prefer and why?
What are the benefits of one over the other?
Let's discuss.

Kobojunkie:
Pregnancy is a 9-month gig during which those who are intentional would have not only prepared themselves for that final emergency to come but also done all necessary to ensure they are prepared as far as the bill to come.

This here is a sad story indeed, but I can't really fault the hospital for choosing to protect its bottom line either.

Everyone gets emotional whenever hospital is mentioned because a life is involved. But we forget that private hospital is a business. And like every business, na pay before service.
What do you think will happen if they finish treating the woman and the man says he has no money? Of course, the hospital will not discharge her, and it is this same husband of hers that will go to tv stations to lament that the hospital is holding his wife hostage. Some of us talking will jump window and go home after being treated on credit. These things happen regularly. Who do you think will suffer the loss? That innocent nurse that also has children to feed cos her salary will be deducted.
We have 9mths to prepare, yet we won't and then we look for who to blame. I'm sure the hospital won't send them away if the man paid half of the money for them to start work while he sources for the rest. But you can't expect them to start work when the only thing in your pocket is #3500. Sometimes let us put ourselves in the shoes of these hospital staff. If you want cheap or even free services, go to government hospital. You can't go to a 5star hotel to eat without money and get angry at them for throwing you out.
Let us not forget that children are very expensive venture from beginning till end. I don't know why we have placed so much attention on having plenty children. He was telling the wife to stay for their children but he doesn't have anything. "Children" means 2 or more children at home. What else was he looking for when he doesn't have money and is obviously not credit worthy?
If your monthly income in this current naija is 250k or less, do not have children.
If it is between 250k and 500k, have only 1 kid.
Between 500k and 800k, you can have 2 kids.
Between 800k and 1.5m 3kids.
Above 1.5m, 4 kids and never go above 4kids no matter what you earn.

Pls kindly help, my EOD engine is not starting after packing the car for some time without the battery. The battery is ok when the engine doesn't on pls what could be the solution cos my mind is telling me the engine has knocked. Pls kindly help a brother

There's no way an engine will knock by just sitting in a place. Is it a crank no start situation or no crank at all?

So one Chinese guy has came to nairaland and stole my picture here, probably took the information here, all without permission, to advertise a product on AliExpress.

Please how do I get them to at least pay some royalty to me?

Bright2:
Good evening house, pls I really need help in identifying the correct transmission box for my 2007 Honda pilot Ex-L 4wd , I bought the first gear box and after installing it the key starter couldn't rotate the engine while the previous one work as we remount it , now I've sent the gear box back to the dealer and how to select the correct gear box now is an issue. Pls I need assistance.

I'm hearing for the first time that Honda has more than one gearbox variant for that same engine in the same model year. I believe the people you buy the tranny from should know more than many of us here. They should know all the gearbox variants the car comes with. So why don't they give you the correct tranny, instead of coming here to ask us. They should also educate you, so you can educate us.

Femiii:
thanks,

So did you take my advice? was your problem solved?

ImDFavoured1:
.

Really? So, what could be wrong? I travelled this morning with the car and everything is fine. I still have the thermostat though

So you think that all the car manufacturers (every single one, incuding INNOSON) that put thermostat in the cars are stupid, abi? You and your kazeems are smarter, abi? Ok, kontinuu. I can't have this thermostat argument again. Your car, your rules.

Babalegba:
It's not really possible to know their exchange rate unless you purchase something but I think it's slightly above black market rate . Both classic and platinum card works.
I just checked and there's no promotion ongoing, might be better to wait for their promo.

What kind of promo do they usually do?

Babalegba:
With Providus you don't need a dollar card, just the normal card and they'll do the conversion for you. With GTB you do need a dollar card that you fund with dollars yourself

Please what is their exchange rate today?
And which of their cards? Classic mastercard or platinum MasterCard?

Femiii:
Good evening boss, please do you have an idea what could be the solution if the master window switch (honda accord 2006) unlock & lock by itself ? When park & also on motion.. when i disconnect the master window switch, everything will be normal. It draining my battery

Change your driver door lock actuator and ask for my account number later.
Picture below.

2cribz:
carton driver wey no get shame

It doesn't change the fact that you are an uncivilized clown.

remi4ever:
You don't know who you're answering sir.

Please read my post well. My car shifts fine. No jerking or erratic shifting. Neither my engine or transmission has been worked on before neither is my wiring tampered with.

I should go and get another transmission, just like that...

That dude is always high on cheap drugs. A fool at 40. It will really be nice to remove him from this thread if possible.
BTW have you tried cleaning your IAC valve?
....
I had a very similar experience just 2days ago. Idle was crazy, like the car wants to go off. AC at idle is not possible as it makes it way worse. But then I got P0172 error code (bank 1 too rich)(car is a 4cyl, so has only one bank). I automatically thought it was my IAC valve getting not opening well and causing reduced air intake when at idle. But I decided to investigate that code further and thank God I did. It turns out that a faulty fuel pressure regulator inside the fuel pump assembly can cause a rich mixture. And I just replaced the fuel pump assembly a day before all these problems started. Despite IAC being my number 1 suspect, I brought out the fuel pump assembly, brought out the pressure regulator, cleaned it well with a carb cleaner and coupled it back. Car has been smooth , even with AC at idle.
On thinking about it, a blocked fuel pressure regulator raises the fuel pressure in the fuel system since it can not release excess pressure from the system. This excess pressure pushes excess fuel into the cylinder once the injectors open. Excess fuel means poor air:fuel mixture, which means poor combustion. Reving the car uses more fuel and kinda temporarily brings the pressure down.
...
So have this at the back of your mind while cleaning your IAC valve. I'm assuming you do not have a vacuum leak.

Oncanada:
Good evening everyone. Please what could be the cause of my civic vibrating/jerking when I put it in gear? It just suddenly started and even after changing the engine seat which was what the mechanic pinpointed. It still doesn’t stop. And how much would the repair cost? Like a range.

Vibrating and jerking are completely different things. Which one do you have?

post=134078185:
Nairaland really needs to ask for birth certificates cos what the hell is this extreme level of dumbness? Are you so stupid that you can't proffer solutions/suggestions without proving to the world that you are indeed a tout?

I really hope it's you I see on the road when next it fails, I'll be doing the world a favor by eradicating one less fool. They can't jail me for car accidents after all.

You really would be doing the world a big favour.
...
As for your brake, I think your brake master cylinder needs replacement. Make sure the vacuum hose to the brake is ok. It has a one way valve, test it first. Make sure you don't have a vacuum leak.

Educate me boss, tnks

The summary is that people love it and it is affordable.

I want to get 05 EOD, though a number of people have discouraged me from getting it due to the ball joint issue. How can I prevent this issue when I eventually get it

There's a reason EOD is still everywhere on the road today, despite the so-called ball joint issue. If you want to know about Honda, ask someone that drives Honda.

opezy:
Thanks for the response sir...

"probably visit your mechanic more frequently", can this be managed with proper maintenance? or can i ask what can be done to manage the suspension problem in Honda?

When I said visit mechanic more frequently, I meant visit for routine maintenance. Change your ball joint once a year or once in two years, depending on how you drive the car. If you can not get original OEM ball joints, please use tokunbo OEM, for your peace of mind. ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR CAR. If you hear any abnormal sound, go and get it fixed. It will not pass one bushing or another. Original shocks will last for years. Good ball joints will last years.
And please don't buy a poorly maintained naija used Honda, unless you are a mechanic 😁. Nigerians HATE maintaining cars.
And remember, if you want an SUV, buy an SUV. If you want a boat, buy a boat. Don't buy a car and use it as a boat. Cheers.

opezy:
Guys I need advice on buying a Locally used HONDA Accord DC or ED

i observe Honda do a common fault of the Legs breaking down,

Kindly advice

Yes, Honda suspension tends to be problematic because it wasn't designed for bad roads like ours. The suspension was designed for good handling at high speeds. Double wishbone suspension is designed for stability at high speeds.
MacPherson struts in Toyota is more durable, but not very good at handling at high speeds.
So yes, you will probably visit your mechanic more frequently for the suspension of Honda, but if you love driving, you will enjoy driving Honda more than Toyota.
Note that Honda parts are relatively cheaper than Toyota parts, so your long term expenses of maintaining your Honda will still be same or even cheaper than Toyota. Compare the price of Toyota engines and Honda engines. Compare the price of their shocks. Compare every other part.
At the end of the day, it boils down to what you want.

RHARPHELLE99:
Please house, kindly suggest a good OBD2 scanner I can buy for personal use on my car.
Nothing too expensive.
I saw some on Jumia around 20k but i don't know if they are okay to buy.

"Personal use" is unspecific. If you want to scan just your check engine codes, then buy the 20k scanners. But if you also want to check transmission, abs, bcm, etc, then you need something more expensive.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
It's a big big lie
You are not owing any outstanding

That debt is made up from thin air

This is exactly my point. It seems AEDC keeps manufacturing debt from thin air. Now they have gone beast mode to collect 50% of whatever you recharge. They are nothing but thieves.

Macmilla:
I just used buypower now and confirmed they took deducted about 50% as debt. But then, I have no debt in my metre. I checked a previous transaction and realized I e offset the debt for a long time now. So AEDC is just stealing from me.
Below is a 2023 bill and it stated outstanding debt is #0
AEDC ARE THIEVES

I just chatted up AEDC on X(Twitter) and below is what they said.
"Dear Customer, kindly be informed that a review of your account shows that you have a debt for the sum of ₦ ₦ -11,861.80 and you are on 50% deduction plans. Hence the reason for the deduction. Note that your vending was used to offset the debt in your account. For more information, kindly visit the area office serving you. NU"
The vending receipt clearly shows I have no debt. Two years ago, I had around 16k outstanding. Two years now they are telling me I still have 11k. I recharge averagely 3 times a month and they always deducted some part for outstanding. As at November 2023, 8 had no debt as can be clearly seen. Are they saying that a new debt came up? If it is the same debt, are they saying I've not offset 16k in 2yrs? Now they are taking 50% of my recharge as debt. If this is not robbery, I wonder what is.

skultrick:
That's the only way to fix this issue. I stay in lugbe and I hardly get light here up to 20hrs

You should be getting about 174units for 11k on band C
