Car Talk / Re: My Corolla With Venza Engine Gulping Up Fuel Like Water (details Inside) by providencia(m): 12:29am On Sep 20
EnterpriseMan:

Bro and his mechanic doesn't know about cars grin
I know venza uses 2.5 2.7L engines on the 4 cylinders and a 3.5L on the V6, and a 2012 Toyota corrola has a 1.8L L4 engine.
So I don't know where he pulled out his whole write up from.

Corolla also uses 2.4 L for the xrs trim

Car Talk / Re: My Corolla With Venza Engine Gulping Up Fuel Like Water (details Inside) by providencia(m): 12:16am On Sep 20
BlindAngel:
Good morning Nairalands

After my never ending fuel gulping battle with my Toyota Camry, I later ended up buying a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

I went with my mechanic to a car stand to get it, when we got there we saw different kinds/types of corolla. My mechanic told me some are 1.8l engine while others are 2.0l and a lot of the corolla uses venza engine.

I wanted to buy any of the corolla of 1.8L engine but my mechanic told me that they're old model, that I should get a recent corolla with Venza engine, but I refused when I heard the word "venza engine"

I told my mechanic that over my dead body will I jump from frying pan to fire, from Camry to Venza. I said so because since the corolla is using Venza engine, it'd surely gulp up fuel like Venza, which would be a lot worst than a camry.

But my mechanic assured me that what I said is very false, that it won't. That a corolla is a corolla and corollas doesn't eat fuel.

His words really calmed me down and I bought the 2012 corolla.

So I bought 8k fuel to test the fuel usage and see how long it'd last, I know I should have bought more, but I needed to get a faster result.

Well, it turns out that my mechanic tricked me and I'm in so much pains right now, my 8k fuel only went for 31km before the fuel got exhausted, I later realized that I was very much right and shouldn't have listened to my mechanic that a corolla is a corolla, venza engine or small 1.8L engine.

From my observation, it seems the 2012 corolla is gulping up fuel like a venza. Yesterday, I took it to a mechanic and asked them to fix anything that'd make the car to gulp up fuel, they changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, I will be testing it today with another 8k fuel, I pray and I hope that it won't be as bad as it was yesterday, because I'm so depressed right now, after what my camry did to me which made me went for a corolla, now I'm having same issue with my corolla. I'm really so down right now.

What you're talking about is a corolla(xrs) with camry engine. Not venza

Dangote, the Father Christmas and savior of the Nigerian people, don crash the price of Petrol in Nigeria. 😁😁😁😁

The price went up. It didn't crash. NNPC is selling 885 in benin, by the time dangote fuel gets to benin it will be higher than this 950
Politics / Re: Dangote Refinery: Petrol Prices Unlikely To Drop – Experts by providencia(m): 11:07pm On Sep 14
nairalanda1:
Anyone who thinks that fuel will drop just because we have domestic refining...should remember that transport cost, refining cost, taxes, and workers salaries are part of the price you pay for petrol

And government cannot afford subsidy, althrough they want to keep paying it...folly indeed.

But the thing is, there is no way dangote is going to pay maintenance costs, taxes, refining costs, upgrade cost, and workers salaries at international level on just N100 per liter.

petrol should be N2000 per litre. Is that high enough for you ? undecided

Reporting to the bank is more appropriate than reporting to the police. Naija police might probably collect the money from you and still end up locking you up for no reason...

Business / Re: HELP! How Do I Stop Okash From Calling Me? by providencia(m): 2:26pm On Jul 28
airsaylongcome:


They are using a contact centre software that is configured to dial and play a recording. That software also has capability to spoof the number you see when they call you. The ways to stop the calls is to either get a new SIM or get them to remove you from their "outbound calling list". If you are patient enough, you can escalate to NCC. This may take a longer route but it can be "profitable". Document every time you get a call from them: date, time and possibly duration of the calls. Record the call if possible. Email their customer care with a copy of the recorded call and ask them to take you off their calling list. Do this for like a week. Then start copying NCC the following week. Then file a complaint of harassment with NCC. Na Chinese dey behind all of that.

It will never be well with those Chinese cockcroaches

If you are using andriod phone, go to ur sim setting, then you will see a place they wrote sim harrasment then allow it, what it means is that any number you didnt save on ur phone cannot call you.

The bad side is that, you will be unreachable when who knows you use a different number to call you. My line is a business line

Easybet1:
Please, what can I do to stop Okash from calling me?
They call me at least twice every single day. I have never taken a loan from any loan shark, and I never will, even under duress.
No matter how many times I block their number, they keep calling from different numbers, which is extremely disturbing.

The worst part is that I can't even speak with the person to tell her to stop calling. It’s always a recorded voice, and as soon as I hear, "Hello, this is Gift from Okash," I hang up.

I’ve reached out to them on Twitter asking them to stop disturbing me with calls. Despite this, just today, I received three different calls from them, and I blocked those numbers too.

I can understand why some people take loans from them and then avoid repaying—both the lender and the borrower seem driven by greed.

I don't understand why they are so persistent in trying to force a loan on me.

Is it possible to take legal action against them? What can I do to stop this constant harassment?

please mod help me move it to the front page

I know things are expensive, no doubt, but bro selling 2005 model for 6.4 is pure wickedness, all the best to you

Before you call it pure wickedness, you need to do research yourself. Calculate cost of purchase, cost of shipping and clearing. In case you don't know, clearing alone is most times far more expensive than the cost of purchase oversea.

Please rest. You are using hypo on clothes and you expect not to see changes? What about those clothes we buy and when we dip it inside water the colour wash away? Should we hold water responsible? There are clothes you don't use bleach on. Its your fault if hypo damaged your clothes.
