@Jenju

Well said. I am sick and tired of this thread, all that can be said has been said and it is time to move on. We are getting people who have no business commenting adding their 2 cents just for the sake of saying something no matter how idiotic they sound.

This is exactly the kind of attitude that is all so familiar on nairaland-pandering and sycophancy in order to gain relevance.No body has appointed you thread police. Everyone has a right to express how they feel about any issue.Rudeness and outright insult does not make you a better person neither does it make this place better. You will either see the sense in this and withdraw this statement or you can go on and use your alternative usernames for more insults. It doesnt matter.

The reason behind this unnecessary brouhaha is VIN. All other issues are secondary even tertiary.There is no need to let VIN tear nairaland auto apart. It should remain optional.

Ziontrain called me pennywise poundfoolish. This is actually my surname. I wonder how he knew!

Godalone na which one you dey now.You too na dealer?

ziontrain:
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! YOU DON'T CARE A LOT IF A CAR IS STOLEN IN AMERICA! WOW!! That says a lot about you o. How will you find out that a car is stolen without knowing VIN number before you set the seller up? What if the car is also flooded? Do you know the implication of this at all?

Well, I have news for you - A LOT OF US CARE ABOUT STOLEN VEHICLES!

Abeg, please don't live up to that your username - PENNYWISE.

You are taking bits of my statements and analyzing them out of context. I see this either as a genuine error or an act of desperation. I never said I don't care about stolen vehicles. Infact it seems you are taking this drive for a share of nairaland auto market to a rather embarrassing level. You may give as much prominence to your statement as you wish but it is wrong even immoral to deliberately misrepresent in order to further your cause.Now I don't see how car fax report will help me with a car that was snatched at Ajegunle if the owner doesn't subscribe to its service?

I think what you have been trying to say all along but without the courage to do so is that Inspired has been bringing in stolen vehicles to sell on nairaland and hence the low price he sells his vehicles thereby pushing competition aside. Sell your own with VIN number if you like. You shouldnt dictate terms. This is a free country.Things may have improved lately but in the 90s if all the stolen cars in Nigeria were returned to Europe and America even Local Government Chairmen would have been trekking to work.

please don't misquote me. This is not between pennywise and ziontrain.

ziontrain:
@Pennywise, I just want to make a contribution regarding your second point about VIN number as I have chosen to leave Inspired alone.

How are you supposed to do due diligence and proper assessment on a vehicle you want to purchase if you don't have the VIN number? How are you supposed to know if vehicle was stolen or flooded? Give me one legitimate reason why it is a bad idea to provide VIN number UPFRONT.

I agree VIN number does not mean vehicle will run smoothly but at least it will give you the history. That to me is of paramount importance. I am sorry but I humbly submit to you that your argument is standing on a very weak foundation.

Hey!Weak foundation, strong foundation, a used car is what it is. I am a Nigerian living in Nigeria. I believe I speak the minds of most Nigerians when I say I don't care a lot if a car was stolen in America and the border patrols are stupid enough to let it get out.Since I innocently purchased the vehicle I will test the law on this one and seek punitive damages for any inconvenience. But if you try to sell me one that was stolen here in Nigeria I will set you up and make sure you pay a price.Car fax doesnt help me with this.

In buying a used car from the internet, those of you in the business know that a number of things add up to give the car value. VIN declaration should be seen as one of those positive values a dealer avails prospective client. Again it does not give guarrantee. A used car is what it is. It should be optional. If you want to stand out as a dealer make all your listings have VIN.It shouldnt be made compulsory!

OpeLovely:
@ pennywise, long time no see/hear (whatever)! How's the randy nature as well as your arch rival? I'm sure you ran 440 from the stock market thread when the shares came crashing. Teehee

Hi Opeluvly,
You seem to forget that 'randy nature' and my arch rival are one and the same. Sad you wont be seeing him for sometime to come. He is back in jail for wandering.Being successful in Nigeria has its perks you know. No tolerance for rivals.Just you and me now on this forum.What are you doing in Bermuda? Anyway missed you too.

I can't stand the rain against my window
You are simply the best
It takes two
Way of the world
Love thang
Private dancer
Typical male
We don't need another hero
Whats love got to do with it
etc

Tiny turner is it.I have been faithful to you now for 12 mths. There will be no cheating for another 12mths.I love you baby.

Oh that's great. But how does my friend put on a dog's tail?

@Lipshell
Which one you dey self. Those two heavy kokonuts you have on your chest will give most girls all the confidence they need. Leave the lucky bastard alone. He will always come back to you. But be sure not to drive him away with undue and misplaced envy. Sho gbo?

I hear that makes the dropping watery and messy. It can only make the handler mean. Hardly the dog.

Sometimes I wonder if the practice of veterinary is regulated in Nigeria. Who do you report to (apart from the police that is) when you have been conned? Anyway proving vaccine fraud in Nigeria is next to impossible. For now let them keep on enjoying free money.

Outstrip:
Yes Pennywise. I do. I think you will make a good watch dog for your friend. Mannerless cow.

This is a thread about dogs and bitches. Certainly not for dogs and bitches.

Gamine:
Anyways, Alsatians don't make the best [i]Vicious Guard [/i]Dogs.

But I could make a few suggestions, Feed the dogs RAW meat,

Visit the Vet for boosters, Castrate the Male, Females are naturally more Vicious

esp after having pups.

Make sure the vet can be trusted.

Gamine, I am loving you right now. I think he opted for alsatians because they can be quite big and intimidating in size unlike the other smaller barking machines. Raw meat oh yeahhh. Concerning Nigerian vets, God save dog owners from them. They will inject 'pure water' for vaccine and bill you like hell.

Rita Dominic- I don't know if she is beautiful or not but this girl has 'sexy'/'take me away now' written all over her.

Omotola- Beautiful but you can't wish away the husband who is subjecting her to a compulsory breeding programme possibly in an effort to domesticate her.Last count was 5 i think?

Outstrip:
Even in your house Pennywise. If you raise a vicious dog and invite people over and the dog mauls a child, you could end up in jail. Your friend needs to pay someone to train his dogs to be guard dogs.

Since my friend does not have to worry about a child jumping over an 8 foot fence with military spec barb wire in the middle of the night, I figure you do not have any suggestion relevant to discourse? Or do you?

kiwi992:
Over here, you could end up in jail if your dangerous dog bites someone.

In my house or in your house?

SimiBrasil:
Pennywise

The dog is suppossed be friendly with the his own and his family and protect the house against stranger.
If a robber want steal your house, and y have a dog in the door, he might choose another house to steal or he might give meat with poisonoss to kill the dog, that's why during the trainning y should teach him don't accept nothing from strangers.

True word.

Raimond,

welcome back from your el dorado. You shack security dog whiskey? If dem sleep off nko? thief man go carry them go sell for 45k each.

I didnt say I have any wish to keep dog friend.

But i have no doubt people who so desire will find your post useful. Cheers.

But those must be pet dogs. I had a mixed breed alsatian-labrador. Very lovely beautiful pet I invested so much emotionally on. It had all the shots given by qualified reputable vets but died a short time latter. Very frustrating. Any particular kind you like?

steaming:
@ timba, WORD. They will learn from the new one

You love dogs too? Unfortunately not many ladies can tolerate them especially the mean variety.

[quote author=timba_bng link=topic=171959.msg2814694#msg2814694 date=1221659445]. . . at that age what i will advise is that your friend should get a third dog that is already vicious as a playmate for those two he already has, even if it's a mongrel. They will gradually learn from the new dog[/quote]Thanks mate. Barking is coming on and it looks like the isolation thing is working. My friend got a gash from the male when he came too close.And no he doesnt want a third dog because feeding these creatures can take its toll on your finances. Infact he is considering castration for the male even though I suspect the real reason may be retribution. By the way, they are back in separation.

OP,

My guy perhaps you will reconsider your title and have it read something like why do women always flash with their phones? Rather than 'why do women always flash'

Made me wonder if I was in the wrong side of town . Dont know why they flash but your thread certainly got my attention.

If there is a real life witch, this is one example. And for the human right people who may want justice for her, let them take her to the scandinavia countries or somewhere really far for trial.

agaba123:
Nairaland una no go kill me. How you take see that rubber band sef. na wa for your iquisitive eyes oo

If you take ajebota eye look am you fit think say na new way to do cell phone. But some of us know how far.

infobaba:
rubbish

OP, if that is your cell phone at 2 0'clock in the pic above, I have to say I admire your ingenuity with the rubber band.Cell phone makers have a thing or two to learn from us on how to keep a phone in one piece .

[quote author=truly-opal link=topic=172003.msg2809314#msg2809314 date=1221569959]its true having helpin hands around u is a plus for living in nigeria. But at times the problems associated with these helps is more than the help they offer i.e stealing, child molestation, husband snatchin e.t.c
The worst part is if u live in a small apartment  with house girl, house boy , nanny, imagine the crowd [/quote]In Nigeria those who live in really small apartments on account of limited means will usually not keep househelps because they understand the economics well if not the health implication. But sometimes owing to extended family pressures they are forced to.

What's of interest here is the middle class head of family that can afford it but would rather the wife does chores because his sister in London is raising 5 children without h/help.

Husband snatching? That's an interesting one!

Why do you want to subject yourself to all that stress when you can afford it . Living in Nigeria has its good side. Enjoy it. Let Oyinbos and our peeps yonder do endless chores. We have armed robbers and NEPA to worry about.

A friend recently got himself two growing Alsatians- male and female about 5-8mths old. He is determined to make them mean and ferocious so they are kept in strict isolation. Initially they were kept separate but he felt this might hurt them emotionally and in turn affect their overall growth hence, reversal.

He has not heard anything that even mimics a bark and they notoriously court affection always. Useful tips on how to turn these wimps into effective security dogs are welcome. My friend is not a pet-keeping kind so a role change for them is not an option.

You have my respect for course content, depth and delivery. Please carry on.

Do not devalue your presentation by succumbing to calls to ignore names. These are the illustrations you have. And like a picture, each is worth a thousand words. Dont mind the rascals seeking attention. They are either lost or are tools in the hands of the more successful businessmen without knowing it.

Carry on.
