I'm just saying they should be appreciated regardless,theyy have their very bad side too but atimes they come handy

If only all these "Kazeems" can come to Europe e.g Germany or The States, to learn and acquire more knowledge in their trade...

No be only Kazeems, all vocational and technical work like painter, welder, plumber etc....

But make i talk true, dem no go wan come back sha for no

now, you see ya sef?
Truth is, Kazeem isnt to share all the blame.
1. Learning auto repairs is an expensive procedure,
2. Buying 21st century auto diagnostics and fixing tools are very expensive. Do you know a diagnosis tool can go as high as 3m?
3. The govt, well meaning nigerians, and private institutions arent ready to set up auto learning centres.
4. Parts sold here are mostly used, substandard parts.
5. Most car owners would rather shy away from genuine OEM parts when available and compare it to their income, price of fake substandard parts, they also try to encourage the technician to cut corners in fixing a problem such as removal of thermostat, connection of fan directly, adjust throttle pedal and idle speed valve to compensate for rough idle or even dead maf.
6. Most cars entering the country and being driven in the roads are salvaged, and you know what it means buying running and fixing a salvaged vehicle (especially accident, flood or fire salvaged)
7. When a technician does a great job the right way, most customers dont encourage them by paying well.
8. Some mechanics dont wish to learn new things.

mathematics, the mother of all physics sef supports trial and error.
the cost of acquiring automated system no be here at al, the charges sef na die, our phone prof go just dey yarn grammar for class, how many sabi diagnose automated mechanical fault, talk more of repairs, I sure sey some of dem no fit direct their drivers on procedures to change engine oil, if our teachers are this useless(apologies), how do we expect the industry to grow?
abeg leave kazeem alone, most times, their problem is a function of greed which is in every human, when faced with an unknown problem, the faithful ones consult their fellow mechanic/technician, or even invite them to come over, they both check to see if the invited one is familiar with the problem.
I know of a kazeem that once helped a one time unilorin vc resurrect* his car, he was so fed up with the car that the kazeem had to stake his personal fund in the repair just to prove a point, that repair won him a car, cash and connections.
*kazeem travelled from lagos to ilorin just because of the car from his pocket.

If you can be appreciating somebody that use trial and error to resolve problem in this 21st century in a open forum like this then I will have to concur that there is no hope for science and technology advancement in this country again .This is indeed a lost generation !!!!

I think there is an unfair bias towards the 'kazeems.' Whilst true that the majority of them learn via trial and error, this is usually with cars that are not common in this part of the world. They have a rigorous training system which also allows them to lean on their mentors experience. They also tend to hive together so that problems are solved in a group. Their problems usually occur when they go beyond their knowledge to troubleshoot systems they have no idea of. I had an experience whereby a simple but hidden leak in my car was causing overheating. The roadside guy struggled with it for 3 months and within that time caused a few hassles but was able to get the car working without spoiling the engine or blowing a gasket. In fact, after 'fixing' my car, he then went ahead to label himself an expert in that brand. I then took the car to the OEM (on Bank Anthony way) who did their OEM things (All changes were on spec) and my gaskets burned in a week. C'est la vie.

This is soo true
Couldn't stop laughing
Oga Siena and gazzuzz hope this is not how you guys run diagnostics

Mr Man go and refund the #289,000 you have been owing your client for close to 1 month now and keep your mouth shut.

Keep spoiling your name you hear. Your days are being counted until you will be listed on the scammers list and handed over to Anti fraud unit of SARS.
