omor painfully that tsx I was looking at is sold.. that car scarce die

yes it is very scarce in Nigeria. Just buy what is available and affordable

olaboyeh:
please help with one

2010 Acura Tsx
2008 camry
2007 Avalon

naija used o
the avalon seem cheaper than Camry even though better loaded... please why is this does it mean it's a bad car... it's a second car

Acura TSX 2.4L i4 and 3.5L V6
Camry 2.4L i4 and 3.5L V6
Avalon 3.5L V6

out of the 3 i will pick the Acura because it is more premium out of the three vehicles, has the best 4cylinder engine and will out perform the competition. It is just a very premium honda accord of same generation so parts is not an issue. Buy the i4 for fuel economy and v6 for optimum performance.

Avalon will be my next pick, cheaper than the camry, not a robbers magnet compared to the camry and more premium than the camry in offering. Though the 268hp 2gr is very solid and can still keep up with certain competition. fuel economy is average

The camry is my last choice, the 2gr is same as avalon while the 4cylinder 2az is prone to oil burn except it is the japanese made variant. It is a robber magnet, parts i am certain would be more expensive than avalon.

Thanks bro.
I checked Oyingbo over the weekend and was told the tranny is 350k right now.
Tranny was 250k as at March this year.

Any idea on the name of the sensor inside the tranny causing the slippage?
I have scanned the tranny several times without any code.

The gear is bad, even if you dismantle and clean the fault is still there. Continue to manage the gear and save up for replacement. EOD and DC gear are problematic though 05 to 07 model years were better than 03 to 04

Instead of condemning the act, some people have turned the thread into a tribal war. Did the hoodlums asK the passengers what tribe they belong b4 stealing and attacking them.

Igbos and Yoruba youths have a lot of orientation to pass through cause rather than think with their brain they rather prefer to drag each other in the mud

Emm22:
Good day everyone, i need a honest opinion between Lexus Es350 2015 and Avalon 2015, which one is a better option?

They are both almost identical in Performance, but the Lexus has more premium to it in the area of accessories been standard on it and optional on the Avalon

Earthstorms:
Still wrong move to plant the offspring of the parent stock.

At best you will get 50% tenera, 25% dura and 25% pisifera. This ratio is even if the parent plant was pollinated by another tenera. If it is pollinated by a dura palm, then the tenera ratio will drop lower.

And there is no way of knowing which is which until they are mature. So you will just waste years raising palms that will not give you the yield that you are expecting.

Don't be penny wise, go for Nifor or other certified seeds and be sure of what you are planting.

Note that I do not work for any seed company. Just a friendly advice.

This your reply is a little bit flawed in the sense that
1. Supergene produces offspring related to it, so eventually the seed produced from the supergene is still going to be a supergene.

2. Dura, pisifera are local oil palm with their own traits and if you have been following oil palm for years, Tenera is majorly 80% of oil palm plantation available in Nigeria to locals, the local varieties have almost gone extinct. Dura species are dwarf oil palm while pisifera are tall oil palms.

3. Supergene is a specially bred Tenera that can produce even without fertilizer application and also drought resistance, because water availability affects the oil palm ability to produce female flowers.

4. As for your pollination explanation, oil palm is an hermaprodite and the major pollinating agent is the weevil found around the palm.

5. If as you say the parent stock will be affected, I think the only trait if pollination was done by insects apart from the weevil would be trait of tall and short but not the high yielding characteristics of the supergene.

I am willing to learn more from you also and would await a reply from you on my submission

Earthstorms:
Wrong move.

Buy certified seeds.

The yield and performance of the crop you will get from this your method might make you regret for decades.

Those who buy Nifor seedlings are not stupid.

The parent stock is initially from nifor

60psi is standard for our hot Nigerian road

35psi na for cold abroad road

An average tyre has a maximum psi of 50, so if you pump 60psi what do you think will happen to you and your car for express?

person get mind dey pump 45 to 50 psi for car tire he come dey change tire like water. maintain 35 to 40psi to avoid blowout and damages to tire

More pix of my nursery. Pix 4 is what i hope to achieve in future.

Thank you for viewing, you can ask questions and i will try my best to answer.

When you are planting oil palm, ensure the sprouted seedling or germinated seedling has the nut attached, especially those using already germinated seedling from bunch found on the farm. If you plant only the leave with root, the tree if it survives will not produce and fruit, it will only continue to grow tall.

Now you have two major challenges your nursery may face in the infant stage.

1. Birds who pluck the young leaves for nest making, you can mitigate against this by using net, i used mosquito net to cover the nursery because my nursery was constantly harassed by small yellow birds who continuously pluck the leaves for their nest.

2. field mouse/bush rat, i work in a plantation so interaction with bush animals is always frequent. The bush rat would dig out the germinated nut and pull it from the stem, a single bush rat can destroy 25 stands in one night, i escaped this buy using net then my workers dug out the hole and killed the rat. Though after 4 to 5 months, the rat issue will stop so one will just need to focus more on the birds.

pix 2 to 4 is what my nursery looks like from beginning to current state.

chai road crash bad gan, pray not to be involved in one when i buy my latest Honda Accord

rip to the dead, quick recovery to the living

After location and bagging of soil, next is the seedling of the oil palm. You can buy already sprouting seedlings from Okomu, Nifor, i heard Okomu 50 seedlings bagged is aound 20k though that was in march 2024 dont know about the price currently.
already nursed seedling of oil palm cost from 500naira to 2400 per stand depending on the variety from local to Tenera and then supergene (Malaysian).

What i did was to go to my farm, got empty oil palm fruit that was left on the ground sprouting already, picked the young ones and transplanted them into the soil.

You then water early morning or evenings, hand weed the pot and wait for 3 months before you apply fertilizer. I used MOP to enhance the root of the oil palm and then bought supergro liquid fertilizer foliage and soil spraying to help the young seedlings

pix 1 is germinated seedlings with true leaves
pix 2 MOP i got for fertilizer application
pix 3 is supergro liquid fertilizer for application every 3 to 4 months, serves as herbicide and fertilizer
pix 4 is sprouted seedlings most seed based companies sell to intending nursery setup

first thing you will need is a good, cool location to setup your nursery. You can use the under of a tree for this to help shade the plant and keep them cool.

Next thing is the soil. You need humus soil, which is just a very black soil composed of dead living matter like tree leaves, worms and animal remains. best place to et humus soil is under a tree, a fallow land covered with grass.

we need nylon to help hold the soil for out seed to grow, you have some easy options
1. pure water nylon (not very good cause after some months it may begin to decompose due to exposure to weather elements, it will try and become problematic during movement. But it can still be used because it is affordable and doesn't weigh much)

2. buying readily made nursery bags, they are the best but not affordable and not easy to come by. Most sellers demand you buy like 1000 pieces and you may not need up to that for a start

3. You can buy those 50naira polythene bags, cut into four, find candle and use it to gum the opened sides leaving one open spot. punch small holes for ventilation and drainage of excess water and you are good to go

This thread is a step by step process needed to setup a oil palm nursery for

1, setting up your own palm plantation

2. for financial gain by selling to others for a fee.

I am I no way a professional neither am I advertising myself, I just feel creating this thread can help someone save cost or help our youths become active in thinking on financial upliftment rather than waiting for gov peanuts.

We look at the life cycle of oil palm in pix one to get started.
seed - sprout - shoot - baby palm - palm tree.

ezugegere:
Thank u. Can the oil pump be replaced or it is a definite death for the engine?

it can be replaced, but effectiveness after is what cannot be guaranteed

ezugegere:
Please I need help with my car.
Car model: Rav4 2003.
I started hearing this kind of tapping noise from the top engine.
Mechanic said it's the Camshaft.
Camshaft changed but the noise continues.
The noise comes out when the engine gets hot. No noise when the engine is cold.
After driving for about 30 - 45mins, the engine oil light starts blinking.
Mechanic suggests we change the oil and oil filter.
But I don't know whether that will solve the problems.
Abeg, advice please?

The oil pumps are giving way already reason the oil warning light is blinking which will be worse when on highway speed. Best thing is to tear the engine and check for sludge which may have blocked the oil pump and screen.

but best thing is to manage the engine like that till it dies and be saving for a replacement engine

People have moved from processing garri to selling it directly to people using it for ethanol. These companies are all over the place. Sagamu, Ijebu Ode expressway n all over Nigeria. It's much more easier to sell to them than face the Hussle of processing garri manually.

the companies are not the reason for the increase in prices of cassava. Those companies have existed since 2012, the only new one was the one Along Kajola to Ore highway. The reason is inflation, cost of things have doubled from land clearing which used to be 30k to 50k has now jumped to 150k for a chain. inputs like herbicides have doubled in price per litre, glyphosate used to be 1500 for a litre, it is now almost 4500 to 6k per litre and reduction in the active ingredients.
wood for frying is expensive as petrol car or bike is used to convey it, grating too is costly as petrol to power the machine don cost. workers too have increased prices as inflation has made cost of living expensive, infact no worker sef, all the villagers don japa, those left are not ready for hardwork

check the data sharing numbers you added to the line. it is those sharing your data that are using it

Hello Auto Expert; Please how reliable and maintainable is Benz E500. 4matic..

Since it's a 2024 E500, maintenance should not be an issue because the vehicle is practically new

yak:
Baba, I dey look for Honda civic 2003 and above. Budget is 1.5
I can't drive manual transmission 😔

Nah farmer I be, I no be car dealer . If you need a trailer load of palm oil or Rubber, I am your go to guy

Bazztadewu:
They even resprayed the engine bay.see where the front shock absorber screws dey,see the paint na there be the original car paint.ole

What you call paint is surface rust the vehicle original colour is still blue

jceesquare:
Your Honda DC uses drive by wire throttle system. I wonder what magic they want to do to increase the RPM.
Is yours a V6?
That code won't cause the vibration, but MIGHT affect the RPM and fuel economy.

Some DC use drive by cable especially those bought new in Nigeria

easytig:
Barely a year later battery is now 80k for Korea,I'm highly disappointed 😞,it has completely gone berserk right now,

You even get money to buy ba3 80k, some of us don trek Taya nah shoemaker be our friend now

Glo dey give me joy

Reason I laugh at people when they buy recent techs 4G, 5G they are fast, they this, they are that.

I use 100mb data to browse on edge for 5 days.

I use 800mb data to browse on 3G for 5 days

4G will use 2.2gig just for browsing 5 days.

So always switch to lower network level if nah browsing you wan do, when you intend to download switch to 4G up and go back when the download ends.

Solution is to replace the whole transmission. No go change valve body because nah another mechanic chopping jackpot be that

Denalarian:
Good day CAR enthusiast. Please, I stumbled upon this post and saw this charcoal cannister! I have a CRV which cannister fell off cos I fell into a ditch with the rear left Tyre. With the shock and spring taking a huge hit.. ever since I fixed it, my fuel consumption became poor..

My 1st question : could it be the faulty cannister cos this mechnic hasn't given a better answer to what it's function is.

2nd question: in your own words, what is its function so I can explain to these men over here.

Anticipating your response. Thanks

Check your fuel tank for rupture first, the charcoal canister may not be responsible for your poor fuel economy for that CRV. Also scan for codes let's see what the issue might be

SkylineFrozen:
Thanks Boss. I appreciate your input. God bless you real good.

Op nah the Camry be that, see what I was saying about the lax security

Integrafamoo:
Nairalanders, my brother tried to warm his car this morning and it exploded, as shown in the picture. The sound was enormous and the cause is not yet known. He drove the car yesterday and it exploded today. It is a Corolla 2005 brand.
I would like to know the likely cause, thanks 🙏

looks like airbag deployed prematurely, but further investgation is needed, maybe a compressed can was left heated up in the car like ac refrigerant. we need better pictures

SheikhMuniru:
