Buy a 2005 Civic. It'll be much cheaper than a Corolla, have better fuel economy, be more reliable.

Civic>>Corolla. Been like that for the past 20 years.

Best advice. Heard the transmission ish was corrected in 05 series. Even I'm to get a ride based on this budget, then I will be picking the Civic or Benz w202(though it's dated/old but I don't care
The pleasure of driving a Benz is only surpassed by the feels of a woman

yak:
by budget here, I mean cost of maintenance. especially for someone on salary of 100k with small family

This is a hard call personally. Both cars are great but then I will like to share my personal opinion ( note that I'm not a car guru or mechanic)
Some foreign online users complained of failed transmission in the Civic and there are also widely mentioned oil shortage in the Corolla ...but is there any car without issues.what will tilt my consideration in favor of the Civic is the spacious interior as a family man. Both are also great fuel savers.
Can't really talk about costs of parts cos I have never used both of them both going by request and inquiries here on NL, it seems the part of the Corolla may be a bit higher than the Civic ( I stand to be corrected)

yak:
thank you...
for someone on a budget, which wld u recommend bw civic and corolla 2002?

What's your budget like?

comexak:
hype!

You need to drive one to understand....

Seems just like yesterday. I can still feel the feel, the balance and precision of ma Benz. What sheer driving pleasure!


Benz...The best or nothing.

I'm gonna get another one someday

Do not despair, but continually improve yourself as you put your faith and trust in God.

Let me share my story - So I and a relative finished from the same faculty some years ago, and due to several factors including a ridiculous uni policy and juvenile deliquency, we only managed to finish with a pass degree. Of course I was disheartened but we went ahead to serve the nation (NYSC). Soon after, my cousin's dad who was in government was able to secure a job for him with an international NGO operating in our state, despite the class of degree, while I went to the U.K to attempt a fresh degree. Few years later I graduated with a 2.1 (Honours) and immediately proceeded for my MSc which I completed with a Merit. All these cost me at least N30 million in tuition and living expenses as this was when the Naira fell as low as N600 to 1 pound.

Well I returned to Nigeria with my 3 degrees expecting to be the toast of employers, but I kept passing aptitude tests and attending interviews but was unable to get a job due to the Nigerian factor (though i must admit I was initially rather choosy considering the magnitude of my investment) until a month ago when I landed an FG job (through connection not merit) which pays next to nothing, but I accepted as a stepping stone to greater heights (if you know how the FG works).

Interestingly while I was bettering myself for the labour market, my cousin had already married, gained significant NGO experience, and only a few weeks ago got a mouth watering (actually an understatement) offer to join their mission in the U.S based on his satisfactory performance on the job over the years. With a pass degree.

Now is this fair? Of course not. Do i regret my choices? Not at all because the exposure, knowledge and experience I gained (worked in insurance for a year during my masters in the UK) has equipped me for greatness and my faith and trust in God assures me that i was only being prepared for the greater exploits, according to his divine purpose, especially as I am working towards establishing a private practice, amidst other entrepreneurial aspirations.

I hesitatingly decided to share this story but I hope it encourages you, with the knowledge that your class of degree does not ultimately determine your altitude in life, but your divine purpose, God's timing and your hunger for success and self improvement. Stop using your friend as a ruler to measure yourself, instead pray & trust in God, think outside the "teaching box" (get relevant professional certifications, attend seminars for networking opportunities, explore entrepreneurship) and you should be fine. Good luck.

This is a nice story. I'm inspired. These are the kind of persons I like to meet

mbahdi:
HE LOOKS SICK

Thought I was the only one that noticed

kehinde1588:
This should be a lesson to all. Never and never try to outshine your master, the consequence is always negative. Ambode has bitten more than he can chew.

Rule 1, 48 laws of power. Most people underestimate this law

unitysheart:
Did he do his NYSC?

Hahaha... Was almost asking same. Since all his academic life na for yankee

NwaAmaikpe:



Is he in APC?


Why are zombies his specialty?
He actually seems obsessed with them.

Seems they have released this guy

Administration1:
Do people even know what a sinkhole is?

Argue with your ancestors when you finish studying the photograph(s)

Well observed. That ain't a sink hole. That's an eroded portion of a road

TechCapon:
that's also what I do all the time. That's how Apple bought Beats by Dr Dre headphone and now they've completely dumped the company. They released new sets of phones and produced their own airpods or wireless earphones. That's how Beats company just died.

Apart from musicpleer, which other site can one download good music. Most times, when I try other sites, immediately I click download, it opens up as something else in another page. Only music pleer gives me what I want but sometimes, the music I want is not in their archive

madridguy:
Firstly, calling someone else father, husband a stupid man on a public forum is embarrassing and you need to edit the part.

To me, you are the root of every problem if you will listen to me. You bring this upon yourself telling your GF to apply for pay cut. You should have advise her to go for weekend program program ( PT ) considering her back ground. Well, am not trying to blame you for your advise because it is out of good will.

I wish to let you know this, if you really love your girl, you must be ready to love her with her burden. Either you take it or you leave it, her half brothers equally her full brothers. Considering the fact her biological father is late, her mother's husband remain her father and don't try to separate cos it won't work.

If you're capable in helping her, please don't hesitate to do so and mind you, don't ever tell your GF to leave her half brothers because she will start seeing you as enemy.
Also, your statement that you cannot be taking care of her responsibility when you've not married is hurt and sound betraying considering you advise her to take job cut.

My suggestion, send her apology sms and let her know you're not trying to separate her family and if possible you see her real person.

My kobo.

Mature advice Madridguy.. All those people yapping above, wait until you enter marriage and see for your self. I
@ op,I f I were you, I would have looked for a part time program near her base and not transferring her to UNN. A lot of women take this kind of route and down the line, they meet some one else and the rest like they say, is history.
Personally, I give assistance to people who aren't even related to me so why stop her from assisting the young lad's education. If she can afford it, let her do it. I would want to see it from the angle of helping the young boy and her mum and not the step father. But mind you, she should not end up becoming an ATM to the step father, so her Assistance should be at her own disgression.
That you are well off those not give you the right to insult a man who is down. Some people wish to be good and responsible to their family but can't help t probably due to the economy or just ill-luck.
As it stands now, you have boxed your self in a corner. Accede to her request and if she is the manipulative type, then know that you are now in a game of deceit and manipulation cos she will definitely use it as a tool.

If this girl pleases you in her ways and conduct, then come of your high horse and talk to her soothingly (trying to avoid using the word apologize ). Let her know she can help her family if she can afford it and that you will support her.

Example is "Paylater"

Those people are fraudulent by nature

Can you explain a bit more about this? Didn't quite get you

since I don grow up, wey I sabi walk with my legs, I never come across any Citibank its sound foreign, abi na microfinance bank ni...

I see one on my way to work. The parking lot is always empty save for one SUV and a Camry which I presume belongs to staff
But I also know a Citibank in the US. Big bank, though I can't tell if both banks have any connections.

Not trying to discourage anyone though

Make I apply shapely

Got shoes? Are you still in the biz

Nice post but op, Econet (Airtel) was the first GSM company in Nigeria. It was launched in August 9th 2001( that's if my memory serves me right)

I just checked now and discovered it was actually 6th August 2001. Econet was definitely the first

Awol1:
The irony of life...

While African women ( I didn't call Edo girls o) are running to Asia and Europe to prostitute, these Chinese girls Went to Kenya of all places to prostitute.

Is our lord not good?

Odd, right? But these ones cater to exotic taste. They have a niche here...They cater to senators, political classes and top echelon, not the dreg of the society. So these ones are making money
Or can. You tell me you don't want to taste a white thing
Even Americans love the Chinese woman. They are wee exotic things. A trial will convince you

Whats the big deal! If I was president bihari I will see them but without camera Sha. This is how you gain credibility, acceptance and favourable disposition from the electorate.
But our Nigerians politicians are mostly lifeless and power-drunk
He doesn't know he.can score political points with this. Smh

This is what VP osinbade is doing differently that is making him accepted by the generality of Nigerians

Neyoor:



Same way he was absent the last time, are you sure that man is not intentionally running away from debate?

Just like president bihari without certificate is running away from debate. Such eerie coincidence.
Both are empty baggages.
I wonder how the system keep throwing up the dreg of the society, misfits and the worst kind of human for political offices.
Smh

Good day all,
Nice to be here. Greetings to everyone.
Pls I'm about to do a career change. I want to veer towards(1) lecturing(2)safety/environmental scientist.
Which of these M.sc options will you advise I take:

Environmental pollution and control, (2)environmental quality and mgt, (3) environmental toxicology (4) health, environment safety and security (5) petroleum and environmental microbiology.

Will an msc in the above mentioned courses suffice or I will still need to go for nebosh?
Pls someone with experience should kindly advice.

CC:sempumping Essohengineers. Diehard
Pls other experience folks should weight in.
Tnx

NB: I studied applied microbiology and brewing (degree).

Sempumping:
Yes it is ....there are courses related to quality control ,not all safety course is related to construction,take your time and go through the options you have ,you ll find the ones that most suits your field .in most organizations it is HSEQ (HSE and Q and in thesame department )

Hello. Pls I will like to reach you. There are questions I will like to ask

Pls add me to the group.

Juliearth:
That, I am not sure of.

For someone like me, I want to go for environmental quality mgt, don't think noun runs that

Juliearth:
Sorry about your plight, op. That's one of the downside of schooling in Nigeria and I think ABU is sort of becoming a dead end( no pun intended please) reason why I avoided the institution like a plaque when I was weighing my options for the institution to put in for my MSC. You are already in this,so I think you should carry on and hope for the best. Next time, do not fail to carry out extensive research before venturing on a mission such as this, don't just rely on online review because that can be doctored. Perhaps, if you had brought this up here(and the mods are kind enough to bring it to front page) before applying, you would have gotten profession counsel and possibly reviews. Also, I souldbhave seen it too and would have recommended NOUN or CODEl(FUT Minna) to you. But op, why didn't you consider the National Open University? That would have been your best bet..plus you pay less and your expected date of graduating is sure ( all things being equal)

But noun offered courses seem to be limited

In as much as I doubt the possibilities of that happening with the present stock, I may still have to look and understand the prospects of inbreeding/Linebreeding overtime.

Kudos bro. Planning to follow up on agro biz soon

Get the car scanned with a reliable scanner then post results here and seek for the assistance of car gurus here before you do or buy anything
