BusinessBusiness Name Registration- High Court? by Oresof(op): 9:45am On Aug 01, 2019
Hello, I am currently registering my business name online by myself.
I have gotten to the stage where I am to download the application form - (CAC/BN/1) and sign then re-upload to the "Document Upload Service".

There is a section on the form for "Commissioners of Oath" to sign. I was told by a lawyer that this means I have to take the form to a high court to get that sectioned signed. Is this true? I didn't see anything of the sort on the guidelines in the CAC website.
Nairaland GeneralBusiness Registration- High Court? by Oresof(op): 12:35pm On Jul 31, 2019
Hello I am currently registering my business online via the CAC portal. Just the basic business name. I'm in the stage where it says pending approval and I'm supposed to upload the signed application document that is available as a pdf.

There is a section in the document which has a space for "commissioners of oath,". someone said this means I am to take the document to the high court to sign before uploading back to the CAC portal.

Is this true? I didn't see such a requirement in their guidelines for business registration.

carry your money go and buy Nissan Xtrail and forget the location of your mechanic shop.
Is this a good car? Is it easy to maintain? Aren’t parts readily available?

Don't know much about the CR-V but I can say a little about my experience with the 2008 RAV4 (Euro Spec, 1AZ FE engine).

Engines are strong and durable, if slightly underpowered. If properly maintained (oil changes done when due) they are trouble free.
Transmissions (AISIN) are also quite strong. Stick with (OEM) ATF to avoid trouble. Transmissions may heat up occasionally during high speed, long distance driving - prompting a warning message on the dash. Park the vehicle and let it cool down for a while and it'll be fine.
Electric steering racks seem to have a tendency to fail.
4wd models are more than equal to the task in poor road conditions. In its class, only a few models (from other car makers) can match the RAV4 in muddy or sandy terrain. However, failure to monitor fluid levels in the rear diff. and transfer case can lead to premature failure. Expensive to repair or replace.
Fuel economy is average in its class. Using low viscosity oils and regularly cleaning the fuel lines, fuel pump assembly and injectors helps a great deal.
Electricals/electronics are top notch. Trouble free.
Suspension is average - firm ride with quite a bit of road noise. Tyres can be expensive to replace (225/65R17). Regular servicing of brakes is essential to avoid problems with calipers.
Cooling systems are also strong and generally trouble free. Stick with OEM coolant to avoid problems.
Struts and shocks are not as strong (perhaps because 4wd models carry a little more weight) so they may need replacement sooner than later. Rotors also need replacement quite often.

Summary - the RAV4 is a durable car. Running costs are moderate to high, depending on the model and history. If running costs and reliability are key for you, you may want to consider a Corolla. I found the Corolla to be better in these areas.
Thanks! This was really useful information o really appreciate.

Hello please I’m trying to buy a new mini suv and my options are between the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. I have spoken to two top mechanics and they have both given me opposing views. One is for Honda CR-V one is for Toyota RAV4

What do I want in a car?
I don’t want stress. I don’t want to be fixing one thing every other month. I just sold my Kia and it showed me pepper. I need a break from constant trips to the mechanic. Which of these cars would give me less stress? Which is easy to maintain? Which has cheaper parts? Please let me know. I don’t care about appearance of the car just functionality. Like I said I really just don’t want stress anymore. Thanks!
