I will strongly suggest you invest your money here in Nigeria. The particular business, I don’t know as I am also looking for a business to start. Capital not a big issue, just something I can be sleeping and getting monthly returns is what I need. The western countries now are no longer viable, things have changed, unemployment, housing crisis, discrimination, humiliation, you will be at best treated as a 3rd class citizen, the west is collapsing, it’s in crisis, Africa is the next diamond, we just haven’t realized how to put our houses together. Let’s put hands together and fix the country

2016 Lexus Rx 350 Fsport

This is RX. NX is different from RX

thinhcuu:
I imported a slightly damaged vehicle from the US through Salvage World, and the experience was quite smooth. When the car arrived in Lagos, there were a few scratches and a small dent, exactly as shown in the listing, but the engine, transmission, and interior were in very good condition.

After doing minor body work and repainting, the car now looks really clean. What I liked most was that the information and photos were accurate, so there were no surprises on arrival.

For anyone planning to import, always check the pictures carefully, confirm the VIN, and keep extra money aside for clearing and repairs. If you prepare well, importing a salvage car can save you a lot compared to buying locally.

How much you won the bid plus shipping cost

Hi all,

I am looking into buying Lexus nx200t f sport 2015/2016 from copart/IAAI soon. What should be my budget to win auction minus the shipping cost. My choice of NX is because of its fuel economy and cheaper than the RX

A lot of Nigerians underestimate the significance and importance of regional bodies like ECOWAS, AU etc.. having visited all west African countries apart from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Cape Verde, I know the benefits and stress free I enjoyed travelling and staying in west African countries.

Louiscars:
All Nigerian used suvs
- Lexus rx350 2013; nice looks, ample cabin space, wonderful power train if maintained properly, reasonable ground clearance ( that shouldn’t be an issue, I presume )
- Toyota Highlander (2013) - I’m referring to the facelifted second gen, some trim levels come with three row options, similar powertrain as the Lexus, some even come in 4 cylinder variant ( 6 cylinder is better to me though)
For foreign used vehicles
- Honda Pilot ( tokunbo); well within your budget, can come in three row options also, understated vehicle but it’s actually a good buy also
- Infiniti fx37; this is also a solid choice, wonderful powertrain ( vq37vhr, very nice to drive and it is actually sturdy also ) might not have as much headroom towards the back for a tall person) but for a tokunbo unit it should be well within your budget, might just be scarce.

Thank you

Michael547:
Do you mind a 2013/2014 Nigerian used Rav4 for that your budget?

Thank you for the advice. But not a fan of rag 4

Wannabenz:
The best to buy is 2014/2015 or upwards Rav 4 or 2014/15 or upwards Mazda CX-5 as well.

I really like the Mazda cx5 2017 model upwards. You know how much that will cost? Direct

Michael547:
Is it a Nigerian used or a foreign used that you are looking for?

If I can get a foreign used, that is preferable. Nevertheless, I am equally open to a grade A Nigerian used

I have a budget of 15 to 17m to buy an suv car (remove benz from the option). Model must be from 2013 upwards. Please advise me on the car to buy. I am a 35years old family man with two kids, own my personal house in Abuja and already have two cars. Your opinion. DO NOT SEND ME PRIVATE MESSAGE TO CHAT YOU UP

If it’s because of people like Elisha abbo, we will rather have tinibu be president for 20years

honeyB2018:
It's you that doesn't reason before you talk. How do you know that the poster is an Igboman or woman?.
Why should an individual commit a crime and you find pleasure in heaping the blame on a whole tribe?
PDP governors, were performing governors before, both in the S'East and S'South. Think of the days of Peter Odili, Wike, Amaechi,Victor Attah, even GodsWill Akpabio. Udenwa was also a performing governor in his days. There's nothing wrong with PDP, as a party, but individuals who are there.
Labour Party has also produced good governors in the days of Oshiomole, Mimiko, so if Otti is doing, it's in their tradition.
So reason before you talk and don't heap the blame of someone's sin on a tribe.

I will not dignify you and give you the response you are looking for.

Whiteshield:
You sit in the East but you are stretching neck to cry that a South South state is a beacon of growth in the Eastern corridor. Why can't you pick a state in your region as an example of growth?
Or progress is a taboo in the East?
Akwa Ibom isn't even in the East.

If Pdp were such a fantastic party, why did you vote them out in Abia?

You are supporting LP but crying that someone decamped from Pdp. You people are not even serious.

They hardly reason before the talk. They couldn’t fix their own state yet bothered about fixing another state. You begin to wonder if they have followcome mental issues

Tinibu has crippled oppositions. Anyone thinking any opposition stands a chance against tinibu is delusional no matter the region that opposition is from.

Back to your question - I honestly do not think PDP is even interested or has the capacity as at now to unroot Tinibu, it comes across to me like PDP is planning towards 2031. By then, Wike and his family will be decamping back wage war against whoever.

Whatever it is, the country needs serious revolution. Tinibu’s romance with France and west is a bad omen to us and west Africa. We have become the laughing stock of the continent. Both our president and the citizens are not respected in west Africa or Africa in general. It’s a shame, it’s embarrassing, it’s a slap and we have never been this low before. Almighty Nigeria reduced to an irrelevant institution in Africa. Kai, our leaders have cheated us. Buhari has completely destroyed us and Tinibu wants to do the burial. What sets of wicked leaders we have. We as citizens though deserve the leaders we have to some extend. Upon all that, we re-voted Buhari to finish the 8years, then vote in Tinibu (anyone telling you tinibu did not win 2023 elections has serious case of mental issues) all because of religion. North wouldn’t stop until the see that the country is completely destroyed (I am a Northerner before you say jack). No any hope of education, mass skill acquisition, industrialization, just killing, hate preaching and have sex. What a region, what a country, what set of leaders. No one coming to save this region of country until we collectively decide to. Tinibu, continue your agenda of romancing with France and making us the laughing stock of west Africa.

Gerrard59:
How much did this set up cost you?

7.5m

ibechris:
U are lucky,I am on band A but that isn't my problem,my expenses per month is close 1.2million naira.

It's if I am not making progress at all,just this first quarter of the year,I expended about #5,996,000. When I checked my expense book,it was like a dream honestly.

But sincerely speaking,If i had depended on my salary,I would have ran mad.

I am just wondering if those that are not working are feeling the heat of this administration,cos they seem not to be complaining like us.

My rent per month for a two bedroom apartment in Abuja here is #208,300. For a year it's #2,500,000.

House hold expenses wants to kill me oooh my country people.

I had to stop tracking my monthly expenses because it was giving me mental issues. No month I don’t spend more than 1 mil. No need to explain to some here as majority wouldn’t even understand.but its crazily scary

[quote author=overdrive post=135289775]Kindly outline how much it cost you to completely switch to solar. I spend #10k a week on electricity. Band A to be precise.
Sometimes I am happy when they take light.[/

All depends on how much you can afford. There is a set up for 1.5m and there is also a set up for 15m. I first set up cost about 500k (2021). While my second set up cost about 7+m (2024). All comes down to what you want to power and how much you are ready to spend

richmond500:
I use to hear "inflation is coming down.

I do not see how it is coming down o.
N10,000 only gives me around 40kwh of electricity which lasts me for only 2weeks to power

•my AC for like 1hr daily
•Fridge is powered for around 10hrs
•Ceiling fan is powered for around 15hrs daily
•And 3 light bulb around for 7hrs.

I spend around 20k monthly on just light bill.
Light bill and rent alone cost around 55k per month, rent is 400k per year. it outrageous.

I am jealous of you. Before I stopped using Napa completely, I was spending 170k/month on electricity in my two bedroom apartment. Appliances includes: deep freezer, fridge, 1.5hp ac (10to 15hrs daily), fans, bulbs, kitchen electronics, 3 tvs. Now I am completely off grid through the use of solar


*modify - I see people asking my solar set up:

Initially, I was using nepa together with a 2.5kva inverter + 2pcs 220ams battery (no panels). After I relocated to a new place with band A, the elect bill suffocated me. I discarded my both nepa and upgraded my solar system. Now I am using a 10kva inverter, 15kwh lithium battery and 16pcs of 500w panels in my 3 bedroom apartment. This powers my freezer, inverter fridge, washing machine, water dispenser, 2pcs of 1.5hp ac, 4pcs TV, fans and bulbs. Mind you, solar will make you learn load management even more than when you are using nepa. All the applainces are on from 8am to 5pm. Then I start switching off some so I can use my ac at night (I put ac at 28/29 degrees + fan to circulate the cold air). Not for one day have a gone even for 10 minutes without light since I put this set up. Solar is expensive no doubt, but it is worth it at the end

In Nigeria, never allowed yourself to be killed. The killer might walk free, leaving your kids and parents as the genuine losers. Your spouse will definitely move on at some point. Heed to the posters advice. LEAVE NOW

I own two cars: Camry 2010 and corrolla 2006 model. Both cars always have full tank, so I never really measured the fuel consumption the way the poster stated. However, the Camry obviously consumes more fuel than the corrolla. The corrolla is rugged, stands the test of time and once you repaired it, it tends to not give any issues for a while. I imported my Camry directly from US in 2022, so I never had issues with it till date aside oil change and brake pad. I consider it relatively new, but I can tell it wouldn’t withstand the ruggedness of the corrolla. Although I enjoy it more than the corrolla because it’s softer and sweet to drive.

Looking at the crippling energy sector in Nigeria, solar inverter is the way to go. Personally, I used a 10kva + 15kwh lithium battery in my 3 bedroom apartment, and I am off grid. I will say it’s worth it and never had issues with it as I am doing load management.

Share you experience using solar and what is your advise for those we want to go solar

Dogalmighty17:
The Nigerian society we've all grown up in only answers to these two things. Money or Connection. There's no denying this.

Our country is not one that answers to hardwork, dedication nor talent/skill. To break out in Nigeria, either money speaks for you or Connection goes ahead of you. So let's have it. Which is your pick and what is your reason?

Look around you. You must have know of some highly popular and connected politicians few years ago that where in power and had connections all over. Some years later, they got broke and the connection disappeared. See, once you don’t have money, forget it. The connection you thought you had will disappear, no one will answer your call again

[quote author=omoadeleye post=135033105]😆 Some of you no get common sense.


Or probably we can say some of you lacks education hence why y'all are suffering.

Because brainless people are meant to suffer [/quote.
My brother. We have some of the educated illiterates in the whole world. You begin to wonder when you hear some of these people make comment

Jagabanbattle:
Only a dumb person will think the way u just did.

0 votes? Because there’s no APC member in Northern Nigeria?

Because those who hold POWER under Tinubu presidency in Northern Nigeria want to lose their influence?

A completely delusional fellow. He can realistically say Tinibus vote might reduce in the north but chose to be delusional. Goo check my 2023 postings, I am a northerner that worked vote and supported Atiku. 2027, I will still support Atiku. But realistically, we will won’t have enough votes to defeat Tinibu. Tinibu is consolidating votes of northern Christian’s plus the die hard ApC members.

Personally, I rather have Reno as an adviser of tourism/minister of tourism than Ambassador. Not because he isn’t capable of being ambassador, but because he fits in more as someone who can project the country positively to rejig that sector

SoliBayNG:
People with less appliances are able to run on those. My mate just installed a 6.5kva/10kwh and uses 2 ACs deep freezer and a tv, lasts until daybreak

Yes you can do that. The thing is if you overload, you wear out the system quickly. Over load ends up reduce the life span by years.

Benjosh123:
I'll advice you as a Solar englneer and as a perskn who has been using solar also.

1. Your upgrade is very okay with your new Inverter and lithium batteries....

2. For heavy load, it's advisable to use when the sun is at it's peak, like your A.C and Pumping Machine..

3. Go for an inverter freezer preferably Haier Thermocool or Scanfrost, as they have the more compatible measures with your inverter system..

I'm giving you this counsel as a Solar Engineer and a End user also.. for more clarity, you can reach out via. 07060674810.

Thank you Engineer for your counsel. I have 1pc non-inverter deep freezer and 1pc inverter double door fridge. I will use both only during sun peak. Night time, will definitely be switching off the freezer

xpgroove:
It will last long if you dont over load it. Dont drain it, never use it below 40%. Always check and make sure you dont drain it. it will last minimum 10 years if well maintained

you are right. Load management will have to be followed strickly

Omoapena:
wow

how much did it cost you to get the 10kva + 15kwh lithium battery?



hope you know you can't completely go off grid with this setup without solar panel.

With the 10kva, I have 500w mono panels (15pcs). For the 2.5kva, I plan to buy 2pcs of 300w panels. What’s your advice. Cost me around 7.2m. I bought them in Nov last year
