Car TalkRe: Please Your Advice On This Car by Mountbatten: 10:33pm On May 29
Check the service history and make sure the airbags haven't been deployed. The reason these cars are listed as salvage is because the cost of repair is at least half of the vehicles worth. You need to visit a proper workshop to fix it to safety standards.

15M is more than enough to ball in a year and u can comfortably save another 15m.no deceive urself.15m is like spending 1.25m monthly.400k is more than enough to fuel car in a month (like around 300litre- where u wan even go with 300litre in a month) 500k more than enough for good quality food
300k for miscellaneous .
Infact how many families even fit afford 1m for monthly spending in this 9ja.

I love people who know how to budget income they don't earn.
RomanceRe: Every Married Woman Has One Man She Loves More Than Her Husband.. by Mountbatten: 9:23pm On May 27
kelechi50:
Take this bitter truth in human relationships, a married woman opened up to me about her marriage and what she is passing through with her husband.

She said if not for her kids, she is done with her husband.
If you're a man, she wants you to knack, because no sensible woman who respects her husband will tell a man this.
RomanceRe: Every Married Woman Has One Man She Loves More Than Her Husband.. by Mountbatten: 9:21pm On May 27
Women are not capable of love. They don't understand sacrifice.
CareerRe: How Much Is A Good Salary In Present Day Nigeria? by Mountbatten: 4:28pm On May 24
wirinet:
Don't mind them, most have never done business in their lives, but will tell others to go and do business. The Nigerian business climate is at its worst in history. I have been a businessman for the last 20 years, so I know what I am talking about. Businesses are closing in droves year in year out, both small businesses and large ones. I open a snacks shop at the height of Covid19 in 2000. As bad as the economy was we were making turnover of 20000 to 30000 daily. For the past one year, we hardly see 5000 turnover per day. No be person wey don't chop belefull dey buy snacks. Even big eateries like Tastee fried chicken and Tantaliser have closed shop, they have now resorted to selling in small kiosks. I am closing the snack shop at the end of this month. Paying high shop rent, running generator and paying staff is just not worth it.
Well said. The economy is so bad right now and businesses are heavily dependant on bouyant customers. Guess who the customers are?
EducationRe: 15 Courses In Nigeria Where First Class Is Not Optional by Mountbatten: 1:15pm On May 24
Rapmoney:
Someone with a First Class in the courses listed above has access to more opportunities than someone who has 2.1 or 2.2 in a professional course like Law or Engineering.
lmao! It's irresponsible to go about misleading people on baseless opinions. The 15 courses you listed are utterly useless which is why the bar for entry is low. You're better off doing apprenticeship or getting a technical degree as opposed to wasting away four years studying courses that leads nowhere.

As a hiring manager, there's no way I'll consider hiring someone with a first class in any of the above courses over someone with a 2:1 in more demanding courses like Accounting, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics etc.

"Go do business" but they'll never tell you what business to venture into. Everyone can't be a business person because those who you'll staff aren't business people unless you intend to run a one-man business which can never scale.

FamilyRe: Should Nigeria Introduce Mandatory DNA Testing At Birth? by Mountbatten: 5:30pm On May 22
Ashirioluwa:
Is like you don’t get my point.

My point is that the decision to establish biological parentage and confirm paternity should remain a private family matter rather than a compulsory government mandate.

If a man is doubting the paternity of a child, let him go for DNA. As a matter of fact, it’s advisable for a man to confirm paternity of all his children.

The idea that the government should make it mandatory is what I don’t support.
What's the risk if it becomes mandatory?

You can expect a country (Nigeria) who failed to qualify for the World Cup to be granted a visa. Joke of a country and people.
Car TalkRe: Changan Cars Vs 2014 Honda Accord — I Need Your Honest Reviews! by Mountbatten: 2:20am On May 22
Go for the Accord if you intend to use the car for 5+ years. The reliability and accessibility of Changan is yet to be properly tested and documented in Nigeria. I've not seen any reports on how many miles the engine of these Chinese vehicles can run unlike the accord which can go over 200k miles.

FamilyRe: Should Nigeria Introduce Mandatory DNA Testing At Birth? by Mountbatten: 2:05am On May 22
Ashirioluwa:
Why do Nigerians always like to call for unnecessary things?

No country in the world mandates universal, state-administered DNA testing to determine parentage or maternity at birth. Parentage testing should remain at the discretion of the involved parties.

If any of the parties involved doubt the paternity of a child, he or she is free to call for DNA.

The state involvement should and will only occur under specific legal or administrative circumstances when there is a dispute as per a child's paternity.
Maybe it's down to the fact that Nigerian women have the highest number of cases related to paternity fraud? What exactly is the harm in doing this? Shouldn't a father have the right to know if a child is his?
FamilyRe: Should Nigeria Introduce Mandatory DNA Testing At Birth? by Mountbatten: 2:03am On May 22
Baffles me how this isn't a standard requirement before awarding a birth certificate. The results must also be validated by two independent laboratories to prevent any form of manipulation. Women who engage in paternity fraud should be punished by the law as that will serve as a deterrent.
AutosRe: Total Cost Of Clearing A Vehicle In Nigeria by Mountbatten: 10:39pm On May 19
AccidentedCars:
For these cars (especially the 2018/19 Honda Accords and Lexus models), the best way is to first know your target bid price.

Once you have a bid in mind, you can quickly run the numbers yourself with this free landed cost calculator:

https://accidentedcars.com.ng/nigeria-car-import-cost-calculator/

It gives a good estimate of total cost including duty based on current rates.

If you drop any specific bid price here, I can also help cross-check it.
Thanks for the tip. I'm actually looking to buy clean title for personal use as these cars are on my shortlist

Car TalkRe: Avalon Vs Camry — Which Would You Pick? by Mountbatten: 11:04pm On May 18

Actually I meant the exterior.

2013-2018 there is a huge gap .

Yeah, 2016 saw a face life across board for Toyota and Lexus.
Car TalkRe: Avalon Vs Camry — Which Would You Pick? by Mountbatten: 10:16pm On May 18
Smartguyboy:
Camry 2019 and you are thinking of resale value.
Only the rich can afford that baba . 2019 cars are not for poor or middle man class oh .

You will sell the Avalon 2017 faster than that 2019 Camry .

From my experience with Avalon from 2013-18 is the same just the front bumper .

1st picture is 2013-15 have the same bumper .
2nd picture is 2016-18 have the same bumper .

You can actually buy 2013 limited and change the bumper to 2018 nobody will notice the year unless you tell them. Or you can just add little money and go for the 2019 with different bumper entirely.
This isn't true. 2018 has:
- Better ride comfort
- Refresh infotainment
- More quiet cabin
- Softer suspension
