Politics / Re: Rochas Vs Uzodimma: Court Dismisses Appeal Filed By Imo Govt by Philadelphia: 8:21pm On Mar 17, 2021
Are you surprised that the case was dismissed? Well, I am not.

Why is it that it was after his fracas with uzodimma that rochas collected a Fulani title in sokoto?

Now his case is dismissed..


I am not in the darkness anymore where the Fulani-led government of Nigeria can deceive me.

Business / Re: EU Reports Nigeria To World Trade Organisation Over Dairy Restrictions by Philadelphia: 11:51pm On Mar 16, 2021
Do not be deceived.
These are all part of the agenda to keep Nigeria together because it is eminent that Nigeria is at the verge of splitting due to the Fulani herdsmen issues.

What they want to do is to get a higher authority (EU) to support cattle grazing and subsequent dairy farming in order to give reasons for the Fulani herdsmen.

Ngozi is even talking about “looking inwards”. Can’t you all see the plan?

It was same Ngozi that visited Buhari 4 days ago and appreciated him and his cabal for influencing her recent appointment as WTO DG.

You may want to consider the UK

The best and most certain option for him/ her is the UK as you have mentioned.

Thermodynamics:
I am planning to study for a 1year graduate diploma in Computing (an IT course) I have a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Is someone who studied a postgraduate diploma eligible for the 2years postgraduate work permit?

The course I'm going for is classified as NFQ level 8.

I have money to pay for the school fees and also have someone that can borrow me some funds for the block account.

I'm planning to work when I get to Ireland to cover for my accomodation and feeding.

I need advice from the house

Level 8 qualifies you for 1 year PGWP. Your application is going to be sketchy and I’d advise that you don’t attempt this if it’s your plan at the moment.
My candid advice further is that you don’t even use a block account. Also, you’re on a long thing if you just wanna get to Ireland and start working

No vex, you can pick the Lexus so that we can have peace.

lebete3000:


Hanhan! Guy take am easy na...W205 na around 2014 model and above ooo. So guys wey dey cruise even the exotic C300 na still wannabes?

Well na why I ask you your location sha, cos it's apparent you're not based here in Naija.

Even dudes based abroad would leap on the Lexus without thought.

Watch this YouTube video of a Lexus that has lasted 596,000miles and read through the comments of even Oyinbo people, then you agree sey Lexus no be these guys them mate.

It might be a boring car, but what's the essence of you almost always expecting something to break when you rev up your engine! *in Scotty Kilmer's voice* grin

Where are you based? And why would you choose the least preferred BMW over the highly vaunted Lexus, and the temperately accepted Benz

The BMW will give you a spectacular driving experience that you won’t get from the other 2. It has a better drivetrain (RWD), better handling and braking as well as suspension. It’s fast and commands more respect. Based on interior, it has quality materials and wood grains. It is not popular on the average Nigerian road.

The Lexus IS not as luxurious as the BMW though it’s easy to fix by most technicians. It is the most common but durable amongst the 3. It has now become a “regular” car that almost all young folks buy as first car. It has a nice sound system though but still doesn’t give the experience of the BMW.

Mercedes doesn’t have the most appealing looks. I’d have preferred the W203 C350 instead.
The C240 is a “weak” 2.6L V6 engine and doesn’t give enough power. In this case, I’d pick the C230 over the C240. I see the W203 C240 as a car that a “wannabe” Benz owner will stumble upon.

If I wanna own a Mercedes C-Class, I’d go for the W205 and above.

These are my opinions and would hold true for most people based on experience and reviews from other users.

Abeg make una felo me choose the best one ooo.

Mercedes Benz C240 2006 vs Lexus ES330 2006 vs BMW 323i 2006.

Which one make I pick?

I’d take the BMW if I have a competent auto guy that can fix it coupled with the cash. Since this is may not be available at your end, I’d suggest you take the Lexus.

Smiles, I think you are right, I guess the design of the 5 confused me.


So how did you get the exact year?


Once again, kindly help cross check other ones to the best of your ability.


I know like you said, you aren't doing this for the money but love you have for cars but I will definitely find something to show appreciation.


Danke.

Research.

As for cross-checking the others, they’re correct as I said.

Thanks boss. But that white one looks like x6 look at the logo on it by left hand side.

That's your eye playing a smart one on you.

I am very sure that you didn’t even attempt to use Google to search for 2019 BMW X5.

I’m an automobile researcher, dealer and enthusiast. I’d teach you a little about branding on the X5 series from 2019 till date. The rear X5 badge was moved from the right to the left. Also, there was a slight modification to the font style which now makes it look like the font used for the X6. Also, BMW made a change on the tail lights, making it slimmer and easy to differentiate from the X6.

Meanwhile, they maintained the much larger tail light on the X6 and still left the X6 badge to the right.

Look at the picture attached and tell me if that is an X5 you see or an X6.






Come and give me my token o because I am certain that I got your puzzle correctly.

This might twist your mind a bit.. read it carefully
Earning potential abroad limits your savings potential.

One guy cracked it here on nairaland recently, 9 to 5 peeps r losers in the west, you will be comfortable that's all but even that comfort comes at a steep price, long hours of work , stress etc.

The business peeps , contractor's are the one's killing it because of tax loopholes.

Make i no talk everything here grin

You see your line in bold? That’s what earning potential means.
Don’t think earning potential is limited to only “salary” earnings. Another word for earning is income.

Now go back and read my previous comment.

Ha ok, God will not shame any of us. We can all be winner's.

For me i have gone past the stage of saving, it's my investments putting money back into my pocket.

I'm just keeping it real, it's not easy abroad at all at all, especially when starting out.

The only way to make sense of our convo is to declare how much we save monthly after expenses doesn't have to be detailed, that way we demonstrate credibility.

Bro, one’s saving potential is a matter of various factors including earning potential, spending habit, dependents etc.

However, there’s a proverb that says “as elephant head dey heavy am, na so ant own Dey heavy am.”
