An experienced driver will not find himself in this position. What was he looking at at that speed to suddenly meet a parked truck just a few feet away? Na to open the door, jump out cos nothing will save u (not me) in a collision, which is inevitable. A sudden diversion turn of the steering will cause the vehicle to spin violently or tumble.... either way, a collision.

Honda is almost as reliable, if not for the infamous leg-pull, whose signs are ignored until the inevitable. Mazda is just as reliable and well-built. The 2016-2020 Toyota Yaris is a rebadged Mazda 2.

8. Check for rust. We overlook this issue alot, and rust repair is annoying. Rust affects old and new cars because of the salt used during winter snows. 9. Check through the police database for stolen vehicles; if u buy a stolen vehicle in Nigeria u will see shege 10. Confirm the genuineness of the customs papers if u dont want to lose that car 11. If Nigerian used, do your best to reach out to the previous owner for any added information and peace of mind

People calling him Lebanese are just plain stupid. You will happily run to America and slave over there for years just to get citizenship, then call urselves American. But someone born, raised in Nigeria, of Yoruba blood cannot claim Yoruba/Nigerian. Fools.

The problem with painting cars in Nigeria boils down to two things; Inferior paint and improper technique. Unfortunately we still have a long way to go in auto painting. There are too many inferior paints, then we still have very archaic techniques in painting regardless of our so-called "oven baking". Quality Painting is not cheap anywhere, in the USA to have your car painted its between $300 - $1000, then upto $5000 for full body work. In Europe it can range from €150-€6000. There are places in Nigeria where you can get good quality factory paint job, but you will pay close to a mill if not more, depending on the body detailing involved. The sun can scorch paint, but good paint will last way more than a year to get affected,

I will go with a 2015 Camry SE (non V6) for the following;
1. Its inbetween the Corolla and a Lexus so you will get some luxury while being a basic easy car.
2. Its easier on fuel. Not as economical as a Corolla but better than a Lexus as they are mostly V6.
3. It fits your budget for a 2015 model car.
4. Faster than a Corolla
5. They are all reliable but the Camry is easy to maintain. 2014 Corolla is just as expensive.

Thats three people escaping poverty & Nigeria there.

Not everyone’s family history is necessarily worth preserving or passing down through generations. Some people have been badly treated by their fathers or have painful associations with the family name they inherited, and may reasonably choose not to carry that name forward.

But that should be a personal choice, not an argument against the tradition of passing down family names. My children bear my name, and I see that name as part of the legacy I leave for them. Who is to say that my name is not worthy of being identified with my children and carried forward to future generations, just as my father’s and forefathers’ names were carried through me?

A family name is not merely a label inherited from the past; it can also be a legacy that each generation has the opportunity to build upon and make worthy of remembrance.

All! I was a child once... Now we don't have children; we have kids & wards

A man who cannot even walk into his own farm without an escort and heavy security is talking. You mentioned roads, power, and education but where does security come in?

Nigerians are great farmers. Even with limited access to modern tools and mechanisation, our farmers have continued to produce. But armed groups, bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists have made farming increasingly dangerous in many parts of the country.

Fix security and watch what happens. Provide affordable mechanised farming equipment, improve access to finance and create an environment where farmers can work without fear. You will be amazed at how many young Nigerians will turn to agriculture and take over the farms.

You cannot build a thriving agricultural economy when farmers are afraid to access their own land

No wonder they want us bek home, cos we r taking their jobs and their women.... Too much enrgy, excess mojo!

Definitely not California or Washington DC.

Its just a wrap/skin at the back and customized wallpaper/theme. Nothing there is Tinubu-branded, only when restarting the phone instead of showing Samsung it shows APC/Tinubu. That self can easily be done after rooting the phone. All the above can be done with little to no cost.

A standard patrol officer carries an additional 9 to 14 kg of equipment during a routine shift, which spikes to 18 to 27kg for tactical or SWAT officers who carry rifles and heavier armor. Nobody, is thinking about this when praising the runaways agility. Try chasing someone with that much weight on you, lets see true agility and manoeuvrability.

This is the truth. For a nation that is so religious we do some of the most wicked things to our own. From tales of how kinsmen kill themselves out of envy to the way we break laws with impunity and take what belongs to others like its our damn right. It takes almost nothing to take a life in this country, you can be mobbed to death on a peaceful day for senseless reasons.

These officials need to watch "7 days in Entebbe".

kpankpangolo:
Imaginative writer, where is the official report of this story? I don’t know what you children gain from concocting fake news. Yes, she may have been abducted — if the story is true to begin with. What I doubt are all the thriller movie sequences of the write-up.

Even if what you say is true, there are many more horrible, heart wrenching real life incidents going on daily in the hands of these bandits. We can run our imaginations as wild as we can, but its never far from what is happening. After i watched a video of bandits canibalizing on their captives nothing is impossible.

Correct me if i am wrong, but i feel today will be the first time Nigerians will stand for a non African country over an African country at a World event.

Age is a MudaFuka! Young ones will not understand that we too were once hot & attractive. They feel we were born with white hairs, wrinkle skin and pot bellies.

This problem has been there for decades and nobody gave government officials heat. No protest, no one held accountable by the people, just grumble and swallow. This is how things became fckd up in a grand scale.... we just grumble and swallow.

Who still keeps money in the bank? Buying land is good but you have to be extremely careful. Not everyone wants to go through the rigors of buying and selling land, i prefer investing in stocks, bonds, treasury bills and Money Market Funds.

The Mini Bus comes with risks, and uncertainties, especially if someone else drives it for you. If you want to go into the Transport business, that 7 million will get you a clean 2005 Corolla or 2010 Yaris, the Yaris will be better for fuel economy. Use it for Bolt/Uber yourself, depending on your location, you can also enroll in Airport services.

Depending on your location, you have enough capital to start POS business. You can make from 3k - 20k a day depending on how busy your location is. That profit can be reinvested into the Capital market or Money Market for your 2yr target.

Alternatively, you can buy MTN, Zenith or the upcoming Dangote Refinery shares on listing. In 2 yrs time you will get good dividends and when you want to liquidate those shares you may double if not triple your capital.

The constant stream of negative events in Nigeria has left many people desensitized, making it seem as though we no longer empathize with or sympathize with the suffering of others.

The pattern is similar to how corruption became normalized. It started with the theft of a few million naira, isolated acts of tribalism, and instances of nepotism. As these incidents became more frequent and largely went unchallenged, they evolved into a pervasive culture where the misappropriation of billions of naira is now reported with alarming regularity.

The same can be said of violence and loss of life. It began with the killing of one person in a village, then two people in an intercommunal conflict, followed by dozens in separate incidents. Over time, the scale of these tragedies escalated to the point where reports of hundreds of people being killed can dominate the news cycle one day and be forgotten the next. What once would have provoked national outrage now often receives only fleeting attention.

This gradual normalization of corruption, violence, and human suffering has slowly desensitized many Nigerians. It is not that people no longer care; rather, years of constant exposure to distressing events have dulled the emotional response that such events would ordinarily evoke. When the abnormal becomes routine, society risks accepting as ordinary what should never be tolerated.

His daughter will remain his daughter for life. If has been buying her undies before, i see nothing wrong.

5 year jail term for kidnappong? Really? Are we serious in this country? Only 5 years?

UBA Mobile

The Accord is 12years old and still solid. Will give you another decade if not more with good maintenance. Parts are everywhere ad affordable. These should help make your choice.

Atleast his life will never be thesame again. His immediate family and him has excaped poverty.

Wrong prices, wrong denomination. Wetin Dollar sign dey do for there?

1. Owning a car saves cost if you have a family, the larger the more you save.
2. It saves alot of time taken from going to the park or waiting for a Bolt.
3. You are paying for the comfort and privacy of being in your space.
4. Safety, is in your control. How you drive and avoiding one-chance.
5. You can decide to go anywhere and by anytime. Imagine you have an emergency by 3am, nd you need to get to a hospital.

Owning a car is like riding first class, you are paying for the comfort, control and convenience it gives.

Its a Casio GShock for me. I have owned only Casio (Edifice and GShocks) for the past 16years.

My watches must be ;
Solar- i hate changing batteries
Water resistant
Shock resistant
Fit my hand tightly

I hate white shoes, the only one on this list i don't have, and probably will never have unless its given to me.
