I owned a 2006 Frontier for 6 months. It was one of my hardest 6 months with a car!

Honda Ridgeline is a better looking car, both inside and outside, but the Frontier is a more practical pick up truck. All the people i know with Ridgelines have no serious complaints, but the people i know with Frontiers sold them off due to one issue or the other. The DSS discontinued the purchase of new Frontiers even the Nigeria Police Force & Customs no gree buy them again after their first batch!

Some of Nigerias most used cars are on that list.
Add them plus our quack mechanics equals early grave.

Albino is not only found down south na .

But on a serious note its not news that Boko boys employ the use of mercenaries.

If them like make dem use Arnold Schwarzenegger! It will not change techno from being a POS.

Oya, who wan join me enter Abuja- Kaduna express way this night? paradise we come!!

Which would prefer, spend more on maintenance of mercedes Benz or sticking to Toyota?

I have owned 3 Corolla generations, (2005 matrix also called Corolla Matrix, 2012 Corolla & 2014 Corolla) I am a fan, i prefer it but i will never say it is better than a C Class, which is also a compact sedan like a Corolla.

Now back to phones, how will you compare Infinix to Xiaomi? Xiaomi brand is the worlds 3rd mobile phone manufacturer, an innovative company and a trend setter while Infinix is just cheap & affordable. You cant even compare Xiaomi's sub brands; PocoPhone & Redmi to Infinix.

Bros enjoy your Infinix, when you can afford something slightly more expensive buy one of Xiaomis plethora of affordable phones, you will curse the day you spent your hard earned money on infinix-whatever.

Because something is cheaper and parts readily available does not make it better, practical; yes, better; no!

A corolla is reasonably cheap, parts everywhere, very easy to fix and with good maintenance can last you a life time but its still not a better car to the cheapest Mercedes Benz!

That Lexus IS is just a tricked out Yaris.

Where you go learn this one from? Am sure not America sha, cos even the Americans have respect for the Lexus IS!

Chassis of both cars are different, engines are different, both technologies are totally different. Hope you know what the term tricked out means.

Haba Bros!!!

Whats the use of all that money if you cant even look half your worth?

Let me add a couple more for you;

1. Gangs of London
2. Survivors Remorse
3. Gringo
4. Sahara
5. Mr Johnson
6. Phat girlz
7. X-men origins
8. Lost
9. Critical assignment
10. The bourne Identity
11. Sugar Hill

The OP is a learner!

The driver got balls! Kept his composure, drove the car to safety with out panicking even when you could see fear in him. After coming to a stop, he took the rifle and still went out of the car to face whatever threat..... Meanwhile the blackman be like say dem gum am to that seat.... Still calling Robbie,i guess.

Improving the interior won’t hurt its reliability in any way, neither would it stop the car from moving from point A to point B

Corolla's from 2014 (S, S plus & Eco) offer neat interiors. You get leather interiors, cool seats, open roof & their dash board isnt so bad, from 2015, Corolla's had toyota safety sense (auto brake & lane assist) while the Civic got Honda sensing from 2017.

Corolla focuses on being a daily commute with safety & reliability over looks. That is why it holds its value over a Civic

When people get small money, buy car with big engine na so dem go dey yab Corolla upandan. Many of dem na Corolla be their first car o, d car served dem well, with no issues.

Soon someone will open a thread "Why do cars with V6 squeeze anyhow after accident"?

Well as for we, Corolla loyalists, make we enter service lane make una maintain una ego!

Kelvin30286063:
Maybe, it's new to me though. I'm kinda curious, if plenty of cars have it. How come I haven't seen it in a Toyota brand before? I mean I drove an es350, a Camry 2012 and nothing like that. Considering that car brands like to copy each other. Why are they not buying into the idea?

From 2014 all Corolla S models come with paddle shifters, nothing new about it, they even have sports mode as well! It doesnt mean the Corolla will transform into a sports car though.

Good day bro, pls can u check this;

Happy holidays

1. If you are technical savvy, learn computer repairs, with basic A+ knowledge. I will advice you to specialize on photocopiers and printers. You will never go hungry with this skill, i know photocopier & printer repairers who became very rich in Abuja. They also moved to supplies of inks & consumables because of their technical know how. IT (Information Technology) is really broad, after basic A+ your horizon may broaden into N+ (Network +) and other branches of IT, networking is also good too.

2. Pick a very good mechanic (not a kazeem)and go into apprenticeship. After two years of basic training, go for a proper specialized mechanic training/course that will distinguish you from the rest. Auto repairs is just as broad as computer repairs from body repairs, engine, transmission & electrical. Nigeria lacks professional mechanics that can keep abreast with modern trends, they are too few. A mechanic doesnt have to look dirty and unkept, here they make it look unattractive like a diamond in the rough.

3. Getting a job after university may be hard but
getting a job after nursing school is not. Demand for Medical practitioners are on the increase, gone are the days were nursing was strictly a womans job. The easiest ways of getting jobs out of this country are as medical personnels or IT professionals.

4. Driving is a skill! If you already know how, then get your drivers license, a car and consider uber/ taxify. That is immediate return on investment.

My suggestions are based on your intention not to go to university, which i highly disagree. Why? Well, because;

- You can go to school and still learn any skill. It may be difficult but with focus its achievable.
- Any added knowledge is never wasted.
- There is another kind of education campus life/ university life gives the average person apart from a degree.
- a degree gives you added advantage/respect in life, a skilled person with a degree is a big plus.
- Nigeria is still paper-qualification dependent. A dull person with a degree is still regarded over a very intelligent uneducated entrepreneur. I know some rich men who have acquired wealth through hard work but still had to get a degree just to be respected and regarded in the society.

oga, honda is luxury for where toyota dey.

Luxurious as in what way pls? Kindly give facts as in which of their cars is more Luxurious.... Accord is definitely not a luxury car or more luxurious than aCamry and neither is the Civic.

Better looking based on personal taste does not equate to luxury. I hope you do know what the term; Luxury means, oga!

adamawaboy:
dis wan weak me sha, nigerians like toyota because the car dey accept abuse, dem no like delicate luxury cars like hunda dem.

Honda is not a luxury brand, they are on thesame class with Toyota. Abi you wan compare Honda with names like Mercedes & BMW??

Why cant Nigerian girls date without asking for money? Why?

Dude you are going to one of the most nicest countries to be in Europe and cold feet dey catch you? Gone are the days of racism (maybe still a little, but nothing life threatening like living here), Germany is now a multi cultural society and a country that works, better than the USA & England. The only challenge will be the language barrier, but english is still spoken in the cities. Bro, you only have a sweet challenge ahead of you, nothing you wouldnt over come in a short while.

If you still get cold feet, put those feet in boiling water!

FalseProphet1:
Very soon the average Nigerian won't be able to afford electricity in this country cos the price will be far above his income. This I have seen.

Total darkness looms, fuel will also be too expensive to run generators. Back to the days of camp fires and kerosene lanterns.

Wilson5183:
Do you know any windshield repairers around Lagos. Can you give me his number. I will be Glady.

I dont live in Lagos. Sorry, but it shouldnt be hard to find

You are seeing these videos because:
- Pets are becoming more and more available & affordable to people. when i was a kid only very rich people could afford quality breeds, while their
feeds were only available from big super stores
- Watching a pet do some things can be astonishing, funny, remarkable and quite touching\ emotional
- Most people who find it hard to love or trust another human being, loving & caring for a pet is the fist step to self- therapy. some of these videos
can soften a harden mind. A man who can care and tolerate an animal will have no problem caring for his fellow man.

Dont forget that people have been in lock down with just themselves and their pets. There will be lots of memories to catch and events to capture with your phone and share to the world.

oladipuposadeeq:
Its better you buy another one. What brand of car is it?

go to a windshield repairer, they can prevent the crack from spreading. some can even fill the crack up if its not too bad. On your own you can do some preventive measures if you dont have money at the moment; buy super glue, fill in the open cracks with the glue, allow to dry, then use a razor blade to slowly scrape off the excesses from the screen. Watch the process on youtube. but this works as on small cracks o!

NwaAmaikpe:





Quite ironic is the fact that one of the worst sinners taught many people how to pray.

.

How was he one of the worst sinners?

N400k for a car screen! Why spend so much on a screen i wouldnt be looking at for a total of 15 minutes per day? Even if that screen is super amoled, 4k resolution, 500ppi, multi touch and every other latest tech, it will still mean nothing and highly under utilized because its in a dash board of a car.

Well, maybe its just my poor mind talking.

As the title says, indicate if you are interested

From Phantom to Spirit

Take your time and read in between the lines don't just watch videos and pictures alone read the short article included in the media

My bad. I didnt read the part were he was saved, watched the video in disappointment why people were just standing doing nothing.

I wonder how come the video didnt show the heroic act of saving the guy? Isnt that suppose to be the highlight of the whole incident, why leave that part out?

Thank God for his life and the people who risked their lives in saving a life.

Comparing S8plus to Infinix Note8i is akin to comparing Innoson G80 to Mercedes G-Wagon.

I have a feeling i know which car you will choose.

apply the same wisdom in choosing your phone.

I feel sorry for this man. Stuck in the flood and surrounded by dumbfounded, helpless, hopeless and heartless people waiting and watching to see how he will meet his end, instead of doing something, anything sef! i have watched many flood disaster videos on Discovery channel, and in all of them you see people doing their best trying to save the victim, and they mostly succeed, without the help of professionals, just human beings doing what they can to save a life. In some of the videos you see them risk their all to save an animal.

But look at the poor man being watched by people waiting for him to die or what? We really need to change our orientation in this country.

Watch Weather Gone Viral on Discovery Channel and see how life is valued and saved by people who dont know themselves talkless of coming from same tribe or religion.

Bro, Life can change in an instant, besides not everything that glitters is gold. You dont know what hell she goes through to maintain the life she lives, appreciate what you have and build on it.
