[quote author=Carparts888 post=94912060][/quote]pls what about the AC? Honda is known for crappy ACs that are very unreliable. Toyota on the other hand have very good ACs.

So how would u rate the AC of the 08/09 CRV?

Carparts888:
CRV is more beautiful though some people feel it looks feminine which I disagree and according to MSN car review and Edmunds the 2007 to 2009 CRV got very high reliability ratings even more than its direct competitor 2006 to 2009 rav 4 and its parts are relatively cheaper compared to highlander. They are both not expensive to maintain. For driving experience the crv is a little sporty(same feel with 2007 civic while stepping on the gas) and feels slow at same time while accelerating but roars aggressively when the accelerator pedal is stepped on hard and engine gets noisy. The highland 4 cylinder is a much more quiet ride and it accelerates much more smoothly but no sporty feeling but the v6 is quieter and it's 3mz is a monster while accelerating and it surprisingly roars with little engine noise. The CRV has a better interior to me but the highlander has an advantage of 3rd row seat option. Finally in terms of resale value il give it to the highlander as the demand is extremely high and Nigerian mentality on Toyota brands just like as corolla has ridiculously high resale value over its competitors.

thanks a lot for this. Ur views are much appreciated. Have u used any or both vehicles before?

God forbid you will be migrated to UTAS. You are already on IPPIS so no need to get yourselves worries. Stay with your amputated salaries that you are collecting on IPPIS platform. Have you ever asked your Unions-NASU SANU one question? why is your minimum wage arrears not paid since April 2019? find out from your enslaved platform IPPIS.

ASUU is made UTAS here in Nigeria with rigorous research by academics, your IPPIS is made in US by some government appointees finding fact on poor masses of Nigerian workers. This is modern slave trade. It is a pity you won't understand anyway!

I just realised that ASUU also pays image-makers on social media to help them fight on that front. You are one of them.

Well let me tell u guys something. Buhari, no matter how much I dislike him, is definitely not like other leaders in time past. He (or his handlers) gat lots of guts. ASUU is in not gonna arm twist him into agreeing to absurd and ridiculous conditions this time.
I have a feeling that FG will win this fight very easily. Luckily, they have long pocketed the judiciary and the national assembly.

Expect some very drastic and unconventional moves from the govt very soon. E go shock ASUU, and they won't be able to do shit about it.

My wife tend to favour the Toyota. But I am more inclined towards the CRV.
However, I admire the fact that the Toyota engines are highly generic in nature. For instance, the same 3MZ engine in the highlander is also in the Lexus RX 330 and also in the 2005/2006 sienna. I understand it is also featured in the Toyota Avalon too. This tends to suggest that the parts will be more readily available. I may be wrong though

U better keep dat ur dirty mouth shut, so those thieves in government are not useless, they are useful to u abi wen none of their kids are schooling here. What majority of u guys forget is dat, u can't invest in wot u don't patronize' but we will force them if dats is d way forward

Bros, I am a lecturer too. But I don't support all these ASUU strikes. ASUU is just a bunch of inept, corrupt and greedy idiots

Wiseandtrue:
Unfortunately, none of ASUU strike has been about the issue raised above

Even their worries are not justifiable yet

From the look of things their grievances and worries is narrowed down to retaining the amount of money they have been collecting before now

Of recent, Buhari increased teachers salaries nationwide

So if you collected your salaries and it's not what it should be then we can reason the matter

But for now, ASUU is seriously not getting it right!!!

thank God Nigerians are beginning to see through the hypocrisy of that bunch of greedy fools called ASUU.
The only thing ASUU is really fighting for is more money for their pockets. Absolutely nothing else matters to them. The student welfare, infrastructure, quality of graduates etc, it does not matter to them. They only pretend to care, so as to hide their true agenda.
Na Buhari fit them sha.

UD101:
Go for the CR-V, most highlanders are v6.

yeah I know this. But it seems that the V6 factor does not really impact on fuel efficiency, at least according to most people I asked.

Thanks for the response though

And I will also welcome a link to any thread here in nairaland where these 2 cars are compared

oladipuposadeeq:
i have driven both cars before though not for personal use but for clients which i delivered to in different states and would say its a difficult choice even for me because both cars have good and cheap maintenance cost but i think the CRV would be slightly cheaper to maintain compared to the Highlander but i hope i am wrong about this.

thanks for your response.
Please more views are welcome

Am trying to make a choice between buying Toyota Highlander 2005 to 2007 or buying a Honda CRV 2008-2009 for my next car.
Pls I need sincere opinions on which of these two will deliver better value for money (durability, fuel efficiency, maintenance costs).
I need to mention that I might be constrained to buy them as Nigeria used (i.e registered) because of finance. I notice they seem to be within same price range.

Suggestions are highly solicited please.

This is part of what I'm saying. Most people protesting against SARS are Yahoo boys or affiliates/beneficiaries of Yahoo boys. SARS is going no where whether you like it or not

but SARS was not created to combat yahoo. Their name is special antirobbery squad. No cybercrime squad

As expected, I'm from edo state and the rate at which cyber crime is been done in my state is alarmingly high. All the boys and girls have all gone into Yahoo businesses especially Upper and Ugbowo people in Benin, no one wants to learn a skill nor go to school gain. they've all resolved to joining the cyber crime business.

Should SARS go, the government is indirectly legalizing cyber crime and armed robbery in Nigeria. The intelligent ones know this

Yes SARS should be reformed and not abolished totally.
Anyone who supports the removal of this body is either a cyber criminal or indirectly benefitting from it.

I've been harrasedby SARS before but nothing happened afterwards. What should be done instead is to bring those who perpetrated incessant killings of the innocent ones to book. You dont throw the bath water and the baby together.


So before you support this endsars cause, think very well on the aftermath. We should call for reformation of SARS not ending it

oga SARS was not formed to tackle cybercrime. Infact, they pray that yahoo boys increase in number and become more successful so that they can extort them better.

Talk to the experts. There are better ways of tackling cybercrime. To make matters worse, SARS hardly go after robbers these days, because yahoo boys pay more. Who is really fooling who? End SARS joor

Will u do 1.5?

much30:
I will advise you to listen to your father, continue with the secondary school and aim to become a principal in one of those aisen schools. Most of those private university can own you for months, I am talking from experience. To make money through text books may be nearly impossible because they don't have much students as compare to public universities. Why not continue with the secondary school, get your PhD then apply in public universities and by his grace you may get job. Listen to your father.

problem is that u require some University teaching experience to stand a chance of landing a good offer when u have a PhD. It is not like getting a GA position and being paid 100k monthly

Emir8:
I have master degree and want to start my PhD next year. The university told me that I can't start PhD until I work for them for 3 years. That is another thing I'm considering. The secondary school will allow me to go for PhD

my dear brother, I am a Polytechnic lecturer and it definitely has its benefits.
Before I advise u, I would have liked to know the name and the pedigree of the private university that gave u the offer. If it is covenant, Babcock, igbinedion, landmark, I will encourage u to accept it. If it is redeemers, deeper life (I don forget their University name) I would encourage u to consider it. As for any other one, Bros , stay where u are. Some of these other private universities owe their staff for months. As for the ones I mentioned, Ur chances of career growth and advancement is high. Trust me, if Ur school is not recognised, Ur chances of growth is already greatly reduced.

Newsjamz:
Medical students in Imo state University have taken to Tweeter to express frustration over prolonged stay in Medical school.

The Students in the Final years class have officially entered their eleventh straight year in the institution and with no hope of graduation anytime soon.

They have used the hashtag #Saveimsuth to propel their cry in the micro Blogging platform Tweeter and it's currently trending.

This current agitation for a drastic measures to be taken in Imsuth was fuelled by news that Medical and Dental council of Nigeria are threatening to withdraw accreditation to the institution which will mean that no graduation will take place .

The Medical College has since lost the NUC accreditation which prevented Imsu from admitting Medical students to it's fold.

A video circulating Online allegedly taken on the day of this report shows the institution is now in a deplorable state with decayed infrastructure.

All these in addition to lack of Man power due to shortage of Lecturers have seen the College of medicine reach an all time low .

The Government have all but pay lip service to the plight of Imsuth and the college of Medicine imsu with little or no action.

The Governor promised to bring the institution to world class standard in a recent meeting he held with some USA Medical team in Nigeria.

The Imsuth road construction already started by the sacked former Governor of Imo state has been Abandoned and getting to an unmotorable condition.

Remember, that is the only road leading to the Hospital .

The #Saveimsuth cry on Twitter has been joined by Many notable Influencers most especially Aproko doctor Who recounted his ugly Ordeal at the Institution while serving there as a house officer .

Others well meaning Nigerians have lent their voice to the #Saveimsuth Cry on Tweeter.

The Government should take prompt and Save Imsuth

#Saveimsuth

dingbang:
Why are Muslim wives like this

there is something seriously wrong with the psychology of northern Moslem women. And I think that this problem is brought about by the isolation (and degradation) they tend to be subjected to in all their youthful life. Because they are not adequately exposed, most of them are unable to deal with real life presures. So when the pressure comes up, the highly unstable ones and those with a weak mental state tend to crack under pressure. Hence u hear of children killings, husband killings etc

oz4real83:
He stole and was found guilty. Unfortunately, he was declared guilty by someone who the Nigerian constitution says wasn't in position to declare him guilty and hence was set free. This is Nigeria, when a thief is a member of the legislature, he provides a loophole where he and his co-thieves can escape any law, unfortunately, we have always had them in the Nigerian legislature.

how I wish the jet engine actually started and flew, and then fail in mid air, so that he can crash into sambisa forest

Benito25:
Now some children of hate will come and say "Quota system"...

but he was picked as a result of nepotism Na.
Look at his educational history and swear to me u can't smell a rat somewhere in there.
But Buhari had to pick him above other more qualified candidates, just because he is a northerner. Now see the result....an international disgrace

DonroxyII:
And US is the enemy to all of them ... He help them create problem, help them fuel it by supporting one against the other , Then Started selling weapons both ways profiting both way.

Capitalism is cannibalism!!

the gospel truth ooooo. US is the real enemy of the world. They profit from the conflicts hence they subtly sustain it while pretending to be trying to resolve the conflicts. They only make serious effort to resolve the conflicts when it hits too close to home or directly impacts on their overseas economic or strategic interests

KingAzubuike:
They might not be propaganda. There are alot of documentaries I watched on natgeo about NK. Undercover agents with the aid of secret cams. Some of those things are real. And below is a quote from quora



North Korea is a very isolated nation, and deliberately so - I hope you will agree with me on that much? It is therefore nearly impossible to know anything in detail. Most of what we do know comes from defectors - people from North Korea who escaped. There are many books and documentaries about their experiences if you want to know about life in North Korea.

Needless to say, you will need to work very hard to disprove their accounts.

We also have things like satellite imagery, DPRK state broadcasts, and a handful of people who risk much to smuggle technology into the country who can report on what people tell them. The rest is a process of fitting the pieces together and making deductions.

As for why there might be lies and propaganda: I really can’t think of a reason. North Korea just isn’t that important.

Cc solmus hustla

oga forget Quora joor.
And........

How dare u claim that a nation with nuclear armaments (who also does not stoop to lick the arse of US and the EU) is not important enough to the US to start a massive propaganda against? How then will US gather the international support and also build sufficient alliance against such nation? Do u realise the possible threat such a nation poses to US coveted status as the bully of the world?

I think u know very little about international politics and strategy

solmus:
My brother all this things are European and American propaganda... NorthKoreans have access to internet routed through Chinese servers, it's simply western propaganda that paint others weird

Typical US media or mainstream media give you the illusion that Iran is under very strict sanction and though regime ... But there are several Business to Business Transaction conduct accross many platform under US nose and Iran is doing quite fine... A picture attached is that of an Iranian B2B group one of the countless ones they conduct International trade with

you can't be a hacker, nuclear scientist , Missile lunching weapon maker and not have far better education and standard of living US portrays , they even went low to call them grass and tree bark eater


.

I agree with u. NK has restrictions. But it is not as bad as US and European media wants us to think

Coronabirus:
U're hypocrites for failing to tell the truth. All Nigerians strongly believed in its unification untill when Igbos killed most Northern Politicians in 1966 coup. Arewa took revenge and realised that Igbos are hypocrites disaster, thy took us to marriage of deception. Igbos were in control of 80% of Federal structure; the army, top offices bt the greedy fools were neva satisfied and go ahead and killed only Northern Muslims. Now the idiot are crying nonsense, do u think we'll forget all ur sinister?
Igbos originated arm robbery, prostitution, kidnapping, baby factory, human trafficking, drugs dealing, scam business, immorality and poor governance there by later spreading it to the whole nation. Yes I concede that arewa has security challenges bt remember all regions have their challenges in one time or the other and we'll overcome it.
If u're accusing North of ur failure, why Northern states are developing their region with infrastructure than any otha region in Nigeria, why can't ur ppl build ur states?
Accusing other regions of ur failure. You're in every nooks and crannies of this nation searching for livelihood bt still u've the guts to abuse thm. There are more than 1 million Igbos in Kano state talkless of other states. Not only Kano in Niger Republic there are hundred thousands of Igbos.
Believe me u'll keep crying, ur dream can neva be accomplished untill u live normal life like other Nigerians.
U can call Northerners leeches bt let me tell u North has all the potentials to grow with enough farmlands, solid minerals, oil and gas deposit potential, human resources with bunch of power stations to survive.
80% of Northern states depend on Agriculture, and local businesses. You only envy the few polithiefians who everyone hates even here.
Better learn to accommodate than hate.

all these ranting is not necessary. Let us just go out separate ways in peace. Why is it so difficult for u northerners to accept this?

If u guys agree to this, Nigeria would have been divided long ago.

Just agree to let us go. Even the Yorubas are now seriously agitating. Everyone is tired of u guys and Ur antics

naija4life247:
Are you cursed with Negativity? No joy in your home? They don't think, yet they have been ruling you for decades, you wey dey think, have you ruled your street? Children of hate, anger and bitterness. Una go cry tire.

Bros, I used to be like u. Even as an Igbo man, I used to have a strong belief in Nigerian unity. But not anymore. The cracks are too much. The flaws are too much. Something has to give way.
I can tolerate being ruled perpetually by the north. I can tolerate the uncontrolled looting of the national treasury, I can tolerate the tribalism and nepotism, I can even tolerate the double standards, the incoherent policies and the frequent policy somersaults.
But I can no longer bear the bloodletting, the killing, the terrorism, kidnapping, pillage that have been taken way beyond control, all by northerners. I can no longer endure the fact that the government either lends direct support to these acts or just look away. Something is seriously wrong with the north. I am no longer comfortable sharing a nation with them. It is clear the rift is irreversible. Something has to give.

Fash20:
Lol...

They are celebrating :
1. 60 straight years of failed leadership.
2. 1st poverty capital of the world.
3. 3rd most dangerous country in the observable universe.
4. Bad infrastructure
5. All time high unemployment rate
6. Weak currency etc

Its obvious this ones don't think.

If the youths of this country are like this, I wonder what Nigeria will be like when the present day youths take charge.

Hausa Fulani will celebrate na. They are the only ones that find some kind of joy in this failed nation

Kunle is feeling inferior to Igbos. When you have inferiority complex over a dominate group of people in the industry, that’s how you will behave.

A typical Yoruba attitude for sure from Kunle A. Whereas, he forgets the facts the Yorubas are the most hypocritical in our naija. They're the sellout of our nation

Igbo's success will continue to choke Hater's. Igbo's are the bread winners of Nigeria. Deal with it!

I have always known that Kunle had tribalistic tendencies. It is written all over him. He is not right to post such thing without first reaching out to Mike. That was just too petty.

But Mike Ezuronye, Ur ranting get as e be ooo. U sound like someone trying to avoid the main issue. Someone who is upright won't fly into the rage u just did. He would rather pass his message with calmness and dignity, and still make his point.
Summary....I think u knew kunle's post about u is actually true. Hence u replied with desperation.
